[Q] add shortcuts to lock screen - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

No flaming please. I've looked everywhere but I'm also extremely exhausted. I can't seem to figure out how to add shortcuts to the locksreen

Why do you think you should be able to?
That feature is not a part of Android

This is my first nexus phone. So I didn't know. Always thought I could have my apps on the lock ring

Just wait for the custom roms to start dropping. You will see that feature soon.

Sorry about that. Like I said, I'm tired and not thinking straight. I thought the shortcuts came with Android. Didn't know those were mods

Actually shortcuts is a part of CyanogenMod
The excact same lock sreen is available with CM 10.1.3 and forward, WITH shortcuts :laugh:
But I would like this feature on my new Nexus 5 ... Any suggestions?

Holy old thread revival Batman!

LOVE this phone except for one nit picky thing

I'm in awe of the beauty and speed, and love just about every single thing about it. But one little thing bugs me -- the "retro TV off" animation when the screen is blanked.
Is there any way to turn this off?
I don't see an option inside Developer options nor inside Nova Launcher (I'm using beta with the KitKat customizations).
I know it's nit picky. Please don't flame me.

You need a custom ROM, most of them have the ability to edit or turn that off
Edit, this should be in QA

I was afraid of that. (Sorry about the location. Didn't think it was a troubleshooting issue.)

Lockscreen missing

When my nexus boots up, it has a lockscreen. The moment I get a notification (email, voice mail, etc) my lockscreen disappears and never reappears when I turn my screen on until I reset the whole phone. I have screen lock slide selected under the security section. Anyone have ideas?

Did you load a custom ROM onto it?

Nope. It happens on my stock nexus I've noticed in logcat it says "no lock screen! Windowtoken=null"

Seems it was something to do with the Nova launcher beta. I'll email the dev

Did you find a solution to this? I'm not using Nova launcher and having the same. Posted here what I'm experiencing, plus some adb logcat output:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50416162
Yup! I found out why it was happening but it wasn't the developers fault Mods can closed/delete this thread!

I posted above in my thread what I was doing wrong: I messed myself up! I have the No Lock app it turns out that it was somehow set so locking was disabled. Re-enabling locking fixed this problem and solved my hours of wasted time.

App or module for effects?

I like animations sometimes, or for those of you who use Softkey Z or Gravity Box, a glow effect. I was wondering if anyone might know if there was something that could something similar that would show the same when opening an app and hitting any other soft keys.

Firstly, there's a Q&A forum for asking questions or requests... Please use it in future.
Secondly, you have created the same thread 3 times in the wrong forum.
Thread moved and duplicates deleted.
I did not realize the thread was made multiple times. I keep getting failed to connect to servers when I try to post. My bad, Tapatalk isn't working, or the forum constantly goes down.

I was wondering if you knew one maybe off the too of your head. I'm gonna look again anyways though.

Custom lockscreens don't work properly

Hi there,
I've been really happy with my Nexus 5 since buying it in February, but I've always been jealous of those notifications iPhone users get on their lockscreen... So I decided to look at many different lockscreen apps. However, and I've found this issue multiple times with Widgetlocker, SlideLock, etc. After installing, the apps work like normal; my stock lock screen is disabled and the other shows up in its place. But after a while, seemingly random, the lockscreen app fails to show the screen, and I often have to flip it on and off or even reinstall it to get it to show up again... Has anyone else had this problem and possibly knows of a solution? I'm running a rooted factory ROM. Thanks in advance!

Just get a ROM with lock screen notifications. There's a bunch with the feature.

Hmm...I was really hoping for more of a solution to the problem than a way to avoid it, but if that's what I have to do I guess I'll do it.

Well, seems like app issues. No one here can really help with that. You'd need to go to app website or email the makers.

Try this if you don't want a custom ROM. Rather than "replacing" the default lockscreen with an app it overlays on top. You'll also need to install this first but do not add it as a Lockscreen Widget since NiLS Floating Panel overlays over the lockscreen without needing the Widget.

Double tap screen on ?

Really loved being able to double tap to turn my screen on with my Nokia lumia before this. Is there a way of enabling it on the nexus. I've rooted the device

Many custom kernels support this. Have a look in the kernel threads. It is a huge battery drain on the Nexus 5.
Ahh huge battery drain, what a shame. Thanks for your help will check the kernels out

If you don't want to change kernels then You could also try out Touch Control : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.paranoid.touchcontrolfree
However, not all kernels are supported by it!
