Hello,
Flashed the latest JB 4.1.1 onto my phone. There are 3 lockscreen app shortcuts: phone, messages and unlock.
My question is can we change any of the 2 shortcuts besides unlock (ofcourse). For e.g. I would like to have Camera as a shortcut like it was in ICS rather than Messaging shortcut.
I tried searching elsewhere including xda but was unable to find the solution. The only thing I found was it can be done in "Settings --> Security-->Lock Screen Options" present below "Screen Lock". But there seems to be no "Lock Screen Options" present inside Security in MMX A110 JB.
Any help will be appreciated. I don't want to add third party launchers for this.
Thank you.

Those features are available in cm based ROM's only, and some other ROM's but that feature is not available in any of the ROM's for Micromax A110, and there is no other way around than to install a third party locker app, I would recommend the paid app lockerpro,if you do install it set it as default and enable the home button enabler and then go to settings and in security. Select none in screen protection believe me you will feel the difference.
Hit 'thanks' if I helped you.

1) Is there a way to lock or freeze the lockscreen widgets / scrolling once set? *
2) Can I disable the side swiping/sliding to open the camera ONLY above the camera icon? In other words, I want to be able to access the lock screen camera but only by swiping from the bottom where the camera icon is, not anywhere above it.
*This is really difficult for me to search and find because "how to lock lock screen" and "how to freeze lock screen" obviously come up with something I am not looking for. I want to be able to enable widgets on my lock screen but disable the ability to add more once I set the one I want. I don't want to be able to scroll to the big plus, but I want a widget so I don't want to just disable the feature. How can I do this?

I already realized this is most likely more of a possibility on a custom ROM, however, not only do I really enjoy my stock setup ATM, I don't feel like changing for two features (I will though).
That being said, there are tons of ROMs with tons of features. Do you know of any ROMs that have exactly what I am requesting (while still keeping the simple practical sleek look of stock)? I don't have the time to flash ROMs all day searching so I would greatly appreciate it if anyone who knows this information could share it with me.
And I do mean exactly. I don't want to flash a custom ROM just to get half the ability I'm requesting. Please let me know, thank you.
Hey guys,
I need help with my Quadro smartphone.
Recently I downloaded a lockscreen app which should supposedly also enable notifications on my lockscreen. It does not work, however. I don't remember specifically which app it was, but after that one didn't work I tried a couple of other ones and none of them worked. They all said I should give the app access to lockscreen notifications through the accessibility options. However, no apps appeared in my accessiblity options.
I'm guessing that the phone's manufacturer didn't include allowing apps to use some of the phone's features. BTW, I enabled WhatsApp popups on lockscreen today and when I received a message, the popup appeared but the background was fully black. The phone is rooted and i've tried many modules in Xposed Framework but none of them gave me any results regarding this. Is there any way to give the app access to the lockscreen in this scenario?
Note: I'd provide a screenshot of my accessibility options, but since this is my first post, I am unable to do so. Well, it won't help a lot anyway
Thanks in advance, Topaz17

Hi, thank you for using XDA assist.
There is a general forum for android here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help where you can get better help and support if you try to ask over there.
Good luck.
Hello everybody,
First of all, Big thanks for all the comunity for the outstanding job :good:
I am an owner of S7 Edge international version and also a Oneplus One (I will explain why I'm mentionning that). On the OPO, I experienced the Sailfish OS and it's a unique experience. What is really interesting is that this OS is swipe and gesture based and I consider that this will suites more the S7 edge because of the edges of the screen. The functions that I would like to import are :
- The swipe and gesture of course (I think that there are already apps who can do that so it's not a problem).
- A minimalist experience with just the Locksreen, Main screen with tiles of all the running apps (Like in Huawei P8 for example) and App drawer.
- A page with notification feed to replace OR in addition to the Notification drawer.
Due to the fact that I have 0 experience in coding and not enough time because of my professionnal life, I would like to know if there is a Launcher (I already searched) or an app or Xposed module that could do that.
How about Nova launcher pro?
I use the swype down for notification bar and swype up for settings. Also double tap to sleep (but you need to use root there! If not your fingerprint unlock wont work correctly and you always have to use the pin code)
Sent from my S7 EDGE
After rooting the device, what did you do for the fingerprint unlock to work after double-tapped sleep? Any extra steps?
What exactly do you want to do by gestures? There are powerful apps like GMD gesture control etc. I personally use glove box as appdrawer/multitasking tool by a swipe from the edge accessible from everywhere and as mentioned above swipe down for notifications and swipe up for standard appdrawer in Nova launcher. That's all I need to keep my homescreen clean and speed up the work flow.
Please take a look at Sailfish OS to understand what I meant especially for the notification page. I can't post a link yet due to the rules but a quick search on youtube is enough.

I use nova and greenify : in the nova settings I make sure that a double tap hibernate apps and turn off the screen (with greenify option in nova). I also use the alternative screen off mode in the greenify settings.
So when I double tap, the screen turns off, and then I can unlock it directly with my fingerprint

If you use double tap to wake the normal way and have unlock issues go to:
Settings / device security / other security settings (at the bottom) / device administrator
Untick nova launcher and try to lock it with double tap.
It should now ask you if you want to do it with root.

If you want a minimalistic look the only app I know is KLWP.
But it won't be the same.
The last advice I can give you if you find nothing with the search is post your question in the Apps section http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games.
There are a hundred times more people around.

Hi there,
I've recently been confronted to an app that required - for its installation - that I disabled screen overlay authorization for all apps. Which I did. I had a nice menu with all the applications requiring this feature that I could untick.
Now that it has been done, I can't figure out how to come back to this menu with the entire list of the applications requiring screen overlay so that I can enable them all.
I understand that I can re enable the feature app by app by going into the authorization settings per app, but I don't remember the entire list of 20 apps requiring the setting to be enabled..
Any solution ?
Hi there,
If you are running an android phone then go to developer option in settings then scroll download you will find an option like disabe hw overlays re enable if already enabled/disabled
Give a Thanks if i helped you!

Hello,
I allready started a thread about that and I'm sorry to repost but I think in this section I might find more luck.
So my problem is, that I've a crappy china android device, on which a very poor version of Launcher3 is preinstalled. I wan't to install a different Launcher like Nova.
But the thing is as soon as you install any other Launcher, most of the Apps disappear.
All those Apps are hidden in one App called com.ts.mainui8, and the shortcuts to the individual Apps are only stored in the stock Launcher. Never shown in the app tab of settings or anything else, just custom shortcuts premade on the stock launcher.
So how do I recreate those App Shurtcuts on another Launcher? Is there any App I could install that tells me the exact path of those shortcuts on the stock Launcher and even then I still not know how to make new complete custom ones.
I am usually a Windows guy, in windows for example the explorer.exe contains many many Applications, like most settings, to create a network settings shortcut for example you have to type "C:\Windows\explorer. exe" ms-settings:network-ethernet . There must a way to do a similar thing in android, but how?
Really hope anyone could help me with that, thanks people.
OK finally found a Solution for my Problem, the App Activity Launcher allows to ceate certain shortcuts, thanks anyway
