Is there a way to customize the applications which appear in the lock screen menu? (The quick launch menu). I searched the forum and couldn't find anything. I removed the stock email application and now there is just a void where that used to be. i would like to put another application in its place. Any ideas?

go to personalise on the home screen and then under display choose lock screen style, then choose the one you are currently using, or a different one if you wish and then choose settings and then click on the application you wish to change!!
If you are sing sense 3.5 then the option to change short cuts is just below the lock screen style in the personalise menu

Hi everyone,
I've been searching XDA forums for almost an hour now but I can't find anything helpful.
I would like to display a different background on the Lock screen and Start Menu of my Leo.
Thing is, if I go to the Settings tab, and change the Lock screen image, the start menu is automatically set to the same image.
That is really annoying because it makes every text in the start menu unreadable.
I tried JMZ Lockscreen changer with no result, I tried to change the wallpaper with Sense turned off, but no matter what I do, I can't get to what I want.
Anyone know how to do that ? I'm sure it's really simple but I'm stuck !
Thanks in advance
Hi everyone
Is there a way to create a shortcut to DEVICE LOCK? I'd like to put a shortcut as a quick launch but I've searched the whole device and don't seem to see an actual executable to launch the lock screen. Is this possible at all somehow?
Thanks very much in advance for the advice!
I know this may not be what you are after,
however, if i put my device into standby (short press hang up key) it locks the device
also im not sure if it is ROM specific but on Miri 15.1 if you enter the start menu there is a lock icon on the bottom left...
Sorry if i couldnt help

I've got the Left SoftKey on the Homescreen set as "Lock" which simply links to a lockscreen.exe program. So from the home screen I just press Lock, instead of using the "Start Menu/Lock" option.
If you want to configure something like this drop the Lockscreen.exe into the Windows folder and then configure the Left SoftKey to point to it.
Alternatively, you could add it as a QuickLaunch link if you prefer that for some reason.

I am using S2U2, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=668415 as my choice of lockscreen. It has settings that allow one to lock the screen when it goes blank/black.
So when I press the End/Power On button i.e. the extreme right button, it blanks the screen and S2U2 will kick in in the background.
For the left hand button, I have assigned it for rotating the screen to landscape.

To set the Lock (or any Link) as the Left Soft-Key on the Homescreen, change the following key in the Registry:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
Default: Lock
Open: \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tools\LockScreen.lnk
(or wherever you have the Link)
You could also use the Cookie home tab app. Besides the many other options it provides, you can add a lock screen button on the main screen and even modify your actual lockscreen.

I know this and have used it a lot. Not anymore though, since I don't really need it.

Nice, but I have no "\Keys\112" in there. I looked with Resco Registry. Thanks anyway!

Hi,
it's pretty annoying that you have to tap twice to open the quick settings... first tapping the clock and then the settings symbol.
Is there any way to always open the quick settings?
may only if there are no notifications?
Thanks!
I just put the settings app which you can find in the "other" section when you long press on your home screen, onto my home screen. Just one tap needed now to get to them.
yes, but that opens just the normal settings menu...
i like the settings-popup, it would be cool if this could be modified and always opens for quick access
Okay I've searched and searched some more but I can't remember/find what thread I saw this in but it basically goes like this...
Use the search mode on the phone and type in "Dock Mode" and this will find the hidden desktop dock mode that is installed on our phones. Then there is an app that can create an icon for that.
1. What thread was this?
2. What is the name of that app? As I'd like to do is make a icon/shortcut to that program.
3. If you're gonna flame me for "this has been asked x many times already" or some other crap like that, please don't bother posting I don't want to deal with you either.
Thanks in advance.
Not sure about creating an icon, but if you go into your Sensation customization and select "Lock Screen" you can edit which programs are quick-launched by clicking on the "Settings" button at the bottom. You can select Dock Mode from there (I've got it on my lock screen.)

That's not what I'm looking for but many thanks for that tid-bit! Why will dock mode show there in "apps" but not actually show in the apps when placing it as an icon?
Go into the app tray, long hold the dock mode app and put it on your homescreen...

Please forgive me if this sounds foolish but when you say "app tray" do you mean the app grid icon just left of the phone button on the screen?
If you do, I've already tried that but there is no "dock mode" icon in my apps list. The only way I've found it before is by using the search button (magnifying glass - lower right corner on the phone) and manually searching for it.
I should note that I'm a T-Mobile USA user.
I got it under the search function.
I did the search with the capacitive search button and now the dock mode is there for me to click on.
it remains there so...
works out better for me cause I don't want desk dock mode icon on my home screen.
still odd why HTC didn't include the icon for it.
OMGWAFR! Derrr, derrr, derrrr...drool...
No wonder I can't find that topic here, I never read that here! I read it over at the T-Mobile forums. Sorry fellas, my bad!
But to top it off TMo has changed up their forums so you wouldn't even be able to find it there now but a quick google search/cache has the topic I was talking about:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...d=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&source=www.google.com
And low and behold "Mainspring" posted in there too!
................
So I found the "app" I was looking for and its called "ANY CUT". Very simple to use and will let you create a shortcut for anything.
Nice got my car home icon on there now too so I don't have to use a dock to switch it!

So I've done the OTA update and it removed my Dock Mode from the lock screen. I went to set it again but when I go to Personalize > Lock Screen > Settings > Choose an app to assign to the shortcut - Its not there any longer.
I still have the icon on my phone thanks to Any Cut but now I can't figure out how to get it back onto my lock screen.
Any ideas?
I'm having trouble finding out how to add a shortcut onto the home screen.
In Chrome I want to add a shortcut for a website as a home screen button. When I click the button "add to home screen" a notification popped up for a very short time and I could read it. It won't pop up again and I don't know what it wants me to do to solve the problem.
The same thing also happened with Google. I want to add Google weather to the home screen. In Google I searched weather and then tapped the option button, and click the add to home screen button. A quick notification popped up and disappeared again. I tried to add it over and over and nothing happens, no error notification either.
What options on permissions do I have to set?
Please help.
Sorry, not an answer to your question but as it's also home screen related, am I correct in saying there's currently no way to set which panel you want as your home screen? For instance if I want to have seven home screen panels but set the middle fourth to always return to upon launch?
I know I can use the app draw but I liked for instance, the ability with EMUI to be able to organise my apps/widgets so I could say, quickly swipe left from the home panel to see all my gaming apps grouped together, or quickly swipe the other way to see others easily.
