[Q] Add icons to ICS lock screen - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just got my OTA update for ICS. The stock lock screen has the camera and unlock icons to the left and right so I'm wondering: Is there a way to customize the lock screen by changing the apps you can slide to or by adding different apps to the other directions?

There should be, just seems odd having a free floating circle that only has options to the left and right.
I want a silent/vibrate option there.

I would really love to know this too.

The one thing they've done is that you can pull the status bar right from the lock screen. This gives you access to text, voice mail, calls and other notifications. So if you have a power widget on the status bar you could do all you need from the lock screen.

it will be nice to have two more slides on lock screen... for favorite app and for something else...

The only way (at the moment) to do a Silient mode from the lock screen is to long press the power button, the options are there below the power off option.
I've had to get use to doing it this way, other than putting widgetlocker or other lock screen app on the phone.

I don't think anything like that exists in the stock experience... There is another option. Go ahead and try Widgetlocker. If you can wait CM9 may introduce something to customize the lock screen. It seems like something that they'd include

+1 for WidgetLocker.
In my experience though, I didn't quite like how much RAM it used up so I ended up getting rid of it after awhile. But give it a shot and if you don't mind it constantly running in the background then stick with it.

I never had a significant loss of battery loss even while Widgetlocker ran in the background oddly enough. The speed wasn't affected either... Then again I was on CM7. I hear the CM9 people are going to add some settings for the lockscreen on ICS too, which means some more icons for the slider and stuff

Well, for me, widgetlocker didn't take a lot of RAM nor my battery significantly lasted shorter. I highly recommend widgetlocker to anybody... Too bad that's it's not free :/

While I applaud Google for adding the camera icon to the lockscreen, I wish they had kept the silent mode toggle. Considering the design of the ICS lockscreen, it would be simple enough to add additional shortcuts.

I would also appreciate a solution to this. I could swear there were more options than unlock and camera.

This is an old post to reopen. Root and flash CM9's newest nightly. Loads of lock screen options to customize!

Exactly. GummyNex also has some pretty cool CM7 style lock screens , like the Ring one.
Nexus S (GSM i9020a)
GummyNex (1.2.1 - 4.0.4)
Matrix Kernel (CFS - 20.0)
Intellidemmand (1000/100)
Deep Idle (Off - Noop)
Live OC - 100 (800/1000)

Well if you have a rooted phone. try downloading CM9 nightlies or wait for the v8 stable version, or any other rom that support 4.04 with customized locker screen. It will allow you to add other features to your lock screen. Eg phone, calender, favourites and even weather under the superclock.
Your stuck if you dont have a rooted phone but im guessing it will come out sooner or later. Or not.. Depends on google

[Request] Trackball wake -like app

I realize that trackball wake is a system level change but I would like to have an app that still uses the original lockscreen but simply allows the nexus one to be woken with the trackball. Nothing fancy. This would be something that I would think would be popular with alot of phones if done simple and doesn't become a battery hog. All lockscreen replacement apps utilize this feature so it should be usable on froyo. Hopefully someone can whip up something for us missing trackball wake. Thanks.
well, cyanogen has this built in. though if you want froyo, your not going to be using cyanogen yet.

Yeah I know but im thinking its possible to use the stock lockscreen still. It may run smoother that way. And @neok, yes it would be for froyo or ANY phone and/or rom. And truthfully, I may not use it once the real trackball wake gets updated but I would know where to go once the next update breaks trackball wake again. Ya know?
Shameless bump. Any devs out there want to chime in?
+1 to this.
+1 for this
Did you try No Lock ?
There's an app that does exactly what you said, "lockbot 2.0"
I am assuming u mean lockbot free and pro. Its alright, still a little buggy and its not the true original lockscreen. Its still a replacement afaik. The simpler the better I think. Anybody want to drop in to let us know if its possible or not?
Have you tried Widget Locker? It's what I've been using until CM6 comes out...
Widget Locker does not work well. It's slow to respond or just doesn't work at all most of the time (on Froyo at least).
what exactly is wrong with using No Lock for this? it lets you use the trackball to wake the phone in froyo.

Yes, but some of us don't want to wake the device to the homescreen. I prefer wake to the lockscreen, then taking a quick glance to see alerts and time. If I feel like unlocking then I can, if not just put the phone away. I've found "mylock" is a decent workaround for now, though not quite to my liking. Same with flyscreen, with all Widgets and updating turned off

Try this for now. My lock and another freebie widget called No Lock. When using advanced mode of My Lock And the No Lock widget set for locked, power button only will wake to the lock screen. Trackball is disabled. I use this when listening to music with phone in pocket when walking/working out. This way trackball doesn't wake the phone display. With No Lock widget set for unlocked, locking is disabled, so pushing any physical key/trackball wakes to home screen. This works for me till we get get trackball wake working.
this would be a cool app!
Any updates on this thread?

Do you use your lock screen?

Just curious, how many of you guys use the lock screen? I for one, since the day I bought my inspire, disabled the lock screen. I simply have no use for it.
How about you guys?
I use the app "No Lock", works perfect for me.....
Bounce between Widgetlocker and the Sense 3.0 lockscreen. She lives in my pocket and needs to be restrained when I'm not paying attention to her. Touchscreen & all that.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using the power of the dark side.
I bounce around with mine. Sometimes I like it, sometimes not. But I same as you use no lock to rid myself of it. Most times I don't feel i need a second screen to go through just to get to my apps and stuff
I have the rotary unlock and a PIN after that. I figure that with my phone rooted someone who doesn't know what they're doing messing with settings could really cause problems and some apps have my credit card info so i like to have it locked, it's pretty quick to unlock.
Disabled it the hour I got it and never looked back...
I use Executive Assistant as the lockscreen and disable the regular one
I never use stock 2.2 sense lock, only 3.0. I like widgetlocker, but I'm running cm7, so i use default on the lens setting. looks great.

I love it. I use the sliding tab lockscreen with the four tabs. I use it quite often.
I definitely use mine (Widgetlocker). I place everything I might want/need to see on it. Currently I have an icon for the app Screen Off and Lock, and the following widgets: Watchdog, CurrentWidget, SetCPU, Next Alarm, and MissedIt (unread counts). I disabled interactions for everything except the icon for Screen Off and Lock (I set the timeout for the lockscreen to be 30 seconds, giving me plenty of time to look at my device information. I use the Screen Off app to turn it off as soon as I'm done).

[Q] Several Sensation Questions

I've had mine for nearly a week. I'm pretty sure I'm going to keep it and finally ditch the Grand Old HD2. I've managed to get many of my questions about this phone answered here over the last few days, but here are some I'm not convinced I know the answer to...perhaps someone can help:
- Can I adjust the number of rows/columns on Sense screens? I'd been using HyperDroid CM7 on my HD2 for a while, and seeing, like, 4 icons on the entire Sensation screen is corny/cartoony. I'd like to get more stuff squashed onto each screen.
- Can I add/remove Sense home screens? There are 7. I'd like to change that.
- Can I change or add more buttons to bottom or home screen? I see, from left to right, the apps, phone, and personalize buttons. I'd love to dump the personalize button, shrink the phone button, and add several more.
- I'm pretty sure many of the things I want to do are not possible with just an out of the box T-Mo Sensation and HTC Sense...so, are there apps that lets me do any of these things?
- Can I adjust when backlight goes off? I seem to be able to only adjust the amount of time the entire screen stays on.
- Auto-brightness is wacky. I'll just be sitting somewhere, in what seems like perfectly level/stable lighting conditions, and the screen just arbitrarily dims and brightens every few seconds.
- How do I get rid of that irritating page-by-page scrolling of apps list? I'd like one long, smooth-scrolling list. And is there a way to have a favorite apps list, other than placing them on the home screens?
- How do I turn off the dial/key press sounds when I'm dialing a phone number?
- I get a lot of static when I use my BT headset with the T-Mobile silicone case on the phone. If I take the phone out of the case, the call is much clearer. Any way to otherwise compensate (so I don't have to take the case off all the time)?
Thanks.
The quick answer to every question right now is no. The slightly longer answer is yes, but you will need to install a custom launcher: Launcher Pro or ADW come to mind first. They won't get rid of Sense and will actually use up more memory, but what you want will be accomplished. The really long answer is no, but soon. Most of what you want to change are things built into the HTC Rom. S-Off is supposedly coming soon. The great devs of the forum are hard at work. Once they do that, the bootloader will be unlocked, the cooks will do what they do, and we will begin to see custom Roms. Then you will have your removed bloatware, customizable anything, different launchers, stock-Sense lite-Sense full-CM7-MIUI-or anything else you can think of Roms.
The day is coming. We will have a true superphone any day now.
Best wishes.

for the backlight off thing go to settings->brightness and uncheck the box next to automatic brightness and adjust the slider to your liking
To take off the sound while dialing go to settings->sound and uncheck the box that says Audible touch tones
hope it helps
Thanks for the sound setting info. I know about the automatic brightness setting. Turning off doesn't fix the fact that automatic brightness doesn't seem to work.
Any idea how to, when using the Mail application, to move to Next or Previous messages? No swiping motion I'm trying is working, and the best I can find is Settings and then the arrow keys. It'd be much easier if there was a button or swipe right on the message screen itself.

Actually, I believe the internal portion of the antenna is different too. The Tmo Sensation have 4 internal contacts areas for antenna and the international unlock one has 3. People were claiming that to be the problem with the death grip reception issue. Idk if the newer unlocked versions have changed yet. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I have moved across from the HD2 also and i find it irritating that i cant set both backlight off and power off as separate items.
Had the HD2 set that the backlight went off quite quickly to save juice, but it was set to not power down for one minute after that so just a quick screen press would bring it back up.
the Sensation powers down exactly 8 seconds after the screen dims and there is no setting to change that period !!

I don't have to reboot too often, but when I do, I usually get a "Set current time" pop-up message stating "Unable to detect your current time zone. Tab below to select a city." Then is has a menu with various time zones in it. I select Eastern Time, and click Done. But why does this keep coming up?
All the threads I see here and elsewhere on the internet (yes, I cheat on XDA) seem to assume the network is not providing the time information, so we need to uncheck the automatic time update setting. But why should I have to uncheck this? And how will that impact me when I go to another time zone?
Thanks.

you can somehow:
i used the "more icons widget" it lets you add 4 icons in a place of usually one.
So the 3x1 icons would consist of 11 small icons (+ 1 settings button) available from 1x2 to 1x4 and inverse. Works great on this screen

it costs a bit, but is worth it!

SkyROCKeteer wants thread

Hey guys...I know Playin4Sheezy has been busy doing tons of stuff and he thought of starting a thread about "What would we want in a rom" thread for him to possibly incorporate into his masterpiece. I will add to the OP with good ideas that are possible to implement this life time:
1) Power off menu with screen capture, reboot, recovery etc
2) Adjustable status bar buttons (wifi hotspot, disable lockscreen)
3) Wake on Vol +/-
4) GB or rotary lockscreen
5) Battery % option like CM7 95II <--- Battery % next to bar
reserved for Playin4Sheezy---
What would I want? Thats easy .. nice stable rom with no issues.. lte lights and icons must work and have performance tweaks..
Flash it and make it perform better and not worse.
LOL, that's the point of building roms and testing them out. He finds what works and what doesn't by our feedback. If you want stock....stay stock. Also, BLN notifications are enabled by the kernel from Da_G.
Here this is what i would like if possible!

Customizable pull-down toggles. Let me add what I want in there and sort them my way. How many people really need "Airplane Mode" at a quick glance.
I like my pull-down to be skimpy and to the point. Not cluttered with items I may click once a week or so at the most.
GSII LTE Boot animation without any sound (like it is now).
Get rid of the glowy "Samsung" letters during boot. It just looks dorky.
Customizable profiles with shortcuts to turn each on/off.
Capacitive buttons lit 100% of time so phone can be easily used in landscape mode in dark car when docked.
Audio-out in dock mode through 3.5mm jack to OEM Samsung Car Dock.
NFC working (I think it might already be?).
Color icons in settings menu.
ICS theme everywhere else.
Large button keyboard.
I use Go Launcher for my launcher and Widgetlocker for my lock screen, so no need to customize those two items.
Continue to provide update packages instead of full ROM's so we don't have to comletely wipe things out when you provide updates. This is a great idea you have there.
Based on 2.3.6.
If I could request something, it would be for :
1)a Vanilla Android. No TOUCHWIZ, no bloats whether from Rogers or AT&T.
2) If its an add on to stock TW, definitely have a tweak that doesn't force connection to 4G (3.5g) or LTE all the time. Only unless data transfer is being used like browsing in order to help conserve some battery, Battery %, control toggles, advanced power button options (reboot, shutdown, recovery), jkay tweaks, BLN (need supporting kernel), hardware acceleration.

Do you think you'll be able to get call recording working? I loved it with my Captivate running Continuum 4.1 but apparently it doesn't work so easily with 2.3 GB roms. ??
There are a number of cool settings we can grab out of tmo roms (rom control, miui battery meter) All with dev permission/credit of course
My problem right now is there exists not one "total package" rom of all roms...and it CAN exist. Every request listed exists somewhere...it is just going to take some work getting it in one package
It is something i have been working on but have not really had time to mess with. I am a total newb at this dev stuff. even when that "perfect" rom is developed...I am going to need a kernel to go with.

[Q] Android Revolution HD - Turn off Lock screen issue

Hi
Apologies for not having this in the ARHD forum but I dont have the 10 posts yet to be able to post in developer forums.
I have come across and issue when using ARHD 6.2.1 and any app to turn off the lock screen such as No Lock, No Lock Screen or Delayed Lock.
Generally I would have the lock screen turned off (sense ring and security pattern) when I am at home and then turn it on when out or at work, but with this rom, or it could be ICS itself, whenever the lock screen is turned off and I hit any notification in the notification bar, the phone locks, I have to swipe the ring, input the pattern and then the screen is locked from then on, even through the no lock widget shows otherwise. It will then stay locked until I hit the no lock widget twice.
I have tried every no lock type app available, go locker, magic locker and none seem to be able to work around the issue. The description of Delayed Lock says this "Since ICS there seems to be an issue when using the "hide lock" method: When clicking on a notification, the lockscreen might be shown. Please use the "deactivate lock" method instead!" but this doesnt work either.
Has anyone else had the same problem and found a work around? Does anyone know if these apps work with Stock ICS on the galaxy nexus for example?
Any thoughts much appreciated, thanks.
There is an option in the ROM settings (in the security section) to disable to lock screen without the need for secondary apps.
It works like a charm.
You can switch back and forth between locked and not locked quickly and easily.
Hi, thanks for the quick reply. Do you mean settings\security\configure lock screen?
Thats the only option I can find in my ROM and if you configure the lock screen to off here, you have to re input it again to turn it on. Hardly quick and easy. It also doesnt bypass the lock ring which the secondary apps do, but maybe I'm missing something or ARHD is missing something from ICS.
What ROM are you running?
Settings/security/screen lock.
Its the top item on the menu in the security screen.
Choosr 'off'. Im on ARHD too and I use this setting so I guarentee it works. (Of coure I have Sense removed so maybe that is a factor)
It takes 2 seconds to set or disable the lock.

Thanks skipjacks, ahh youre not running sense, I guess that's the difference as the settings are sensified.
What did you use to remove sense? I see there's an ahrd mod to remove HTC sense lock.screen that I can try.

Oh right, back to square once then. Because I flashed that last night and while it gives me the (less functional) ics lock screen, it doesn't change any of my settings so I still can't change the lock screen as you suggest.
Can you tell me what phone and arhd version you have? Do you have everything else sense still on the phone?
