Possible to modify the pattern unlock screen to include I-C-E?

I like having the security of an unlock pattern with emergency call option. But I would also like to include one or two contacts on that screen to call In Case of Emergency. Has anyone been able to modify the unlock pattern screen, or made their own, to include such options?
Thanks

You can include a contact number if you have avg

There isn´t a way to add numbers to Emergency call´s.
The purpose of that feature is so that if there is an emergency you can dial an emergency number (911) without having to unlock the phone.
Also if you lost your phone you wouldn't want others to be able to make calls from the phone (another reason why it only allows emergency numbers).
I don´t know how to customize lock screen since i don't know which phone you have.

How to check call duration in the nexus 5 dialer?

I really don't understand the new dialer, it shows my contacts in random order, anyway you,can arrange them? And the 3 big buttons what are they? Speed dial?
Also, how do you see statistics for all ur outgoing/incoming call duration? How do you even see single call duration?
Thanks in advance

Dialer app > little clock at the bottom left corner > Select a contact > you have the history with the duration of all calls.

Totally silent call blocker ?

Looking for a totally silent call blocker. Tried apps like MrNumber but every time there's a blocked call I get a pop up & audio notification. I want a app that once a number is added to the block list, just blocks the call - no notification of any kind ( well a entry into a log is OK ).
Any suggestions ?
Stock Moto G here.

No one ?
Can I request one of the app developers here to develop such a app. I'm sure I'm not the only one who needs this.

Hello bro... If you have Samsung device.. It has an option blocking mode..
And If you have rooted phone... Then use this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.rootcallblocker.beta&hl=en
Or you can search play store for this kind of apps.... I'm sure that there must be some apps with this feature..
Please don't miss to hit thanks button if I helped you..

Could not any at the Play Store or even Google search. That's why I posted here.
No one else needed something like this ? Seems unlikely,
Using stock Moto G as mentioned in the OP.

Got a really quick response from MrNumber :
To disable or change where the pop up notifications appear, tap "Settings" in Mr. Number.
In the Calls section, tap "Incoming Call pop up" to reveal different options for where incoming call notifications should appear:
Show alerts at the top
Show alerts in the middle
Show alerts on the bottom
Do not show
If you uncheck the box next to "Post call pop up," and the app will stop displaying information about callers after a call is completed.
When Mr. Number blocks a call or text it creates a notification on your notification bar. To disable the notifications, tap Settings >>"Blocked calls and texts" under Notifications >> select "do not send notification."
Lastly, there is a small popup that says, "Blocked by Mr. Number" when the action of the blocking takes place which quickly appears and then disappears; that cannot be removed.
Best,
Mr. Number Support Team

I made a request/suggestion to have a option to disable the sound that is played when the popup appears.

Nexus 5 Marshmallow incoming calling screen

My contact settings include photos in the phone app.
When those people call me their caller ID and number are shown on the incoming calling screen but not their photo.
I note that if I disable the default phone app and use a 3rd party app (True Phone), there is no caller screen at all, just ringing. Therefore, there is no way to answer the phone. So, the default phone app has to run and the incoming calling screen must be generated by that app. However, I cannot find the setting and of course I can't find any setting for including the photos.
Could someone please help me include the photos of contacts in the incoming calling screen?
Thanks

On my phone with Android 7.0, I can set a photo for a contact only if the contact info is saved in phone other than in SIM card.
After a contact photo has been set, the photo will be shown on the incoming calling screen.

I don't believe that I am using contacts from SIM but the phone.
But, how do I tell?
I can't find that setting either.
I am using Android V6.0.1 (Marshmallow).
Edit: Just noticed that a picture is indeed showing but it is so dark that I didn't notice it before. However, I also notice on the picture there is a word written saying "Unknown" in the middle of the picture. What does that mean?

Just updated the stock Phone app and the picture now shows correctly.
However, the sticking problem of the "Unknown" is still shown.
I have attached a screenshot of the phone's call screen showing the picture and the word "Unknown" in the middle". I have blurred the phone number and street name.
Hope this helps someone point me to find the cause of this.

If all your incoming calls are showing as unknown, contact your service provider and ask if there is a problem with your account (service?) as it may not be a problem in your phone.
But if only incoming calls from some particular contact are showing as unknown, contact this guy and ask if he/she has hidden his/her caller id in his/her phone settings.
For example, setting to turn off Caller ID on a Huawei P9 as below.
Open Phone app,
then tap Menu icon > Settings > Additional Settings > Caller ID > Hide Number
Be aware that the number is only hidden on Voice calls not on SMS/MMS.

I think I may have tracked down the problem.
It's not the account or service provider.
I use a 3rd party lock screen (Start). I didn't think about looking at this because the incoming caller screen is generated by the default google phone app. But, if I disable the Start lock screen and go to the default screen the incoming caller screen does not have the "Unknown" banner. Therefore, I believe that the Start lock screen intercepts the incoming caller screen and inserts the "Unknown" banner for some reason. I am unable to find any setting in Start to remove this so I have emailed the authors and now have to wait for their response.
While I am on the incoming caller screen, where can I find the settings for the incoming caller screen?
