[Q] Lockscreen shortcuts - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well, have the phone for a week now and still couldn't figure out how to add shortcut to lockscreen.
No app nor widget... Only accessible is the pre-installed Google search
Is this specific to MotoG or Android 4.3????
There are few apps on the Play, but I would like to know if there's native support for lockscreen apps/widget on MotoG or not.
UPDATE
Nevermind. Just figure it out.
When lockscreen active press the power button and either very left or right side of the screen press and slide and it show new "tab" with + and there you can add widget. However, it shows actual data (SMS, Email) so any one can check it ( so much about privacy!!!).
Why the hell Moto couldn't add simply notification???
UPDATE 2 :
The camera shortcut (far right) can not be changed/deleted.
You can ad up to 7 widgets ONLY (no apps!).
To delete/change shortcut, briefly press Power button slide to desired tab and press and hold until you see X Remove on the top. Just pull up the page toward it and it will be removed and you can add another widget.

that's ok, but why not app shortcut???

No idea. You could try finding a widget that has some kind of launcher

create a shorcut of the contacts, messages and phone on one of the screens, then long press and drag and drop on the menu in the order to replace the game icons.

No when you long press the shortcut the "remove" icon appears at the bottom,so it cant be dragged onto the menu,you can only remove the message icon on the desktop.

Random Menu Bar appeared on phone?

Hi just wondering if anyone can shed any light on this random menu bar that's appeared on my phone? I've closed all applications with es task manager and it's still there. I'm running Jellybeans on a galaxy note 2
If anyone can direct me where to get rid of it would be most appreciated.
Cheers guys!
Do you mean the bar on the side with the icons?
I think the phone has TSF shell launcher, try a launcher like apex or nova

If that doesn't work you can try this app
I had a app popup as the playstore, and it was a spam type popup from an app i installed a long time ago, DOWNLOAD AIRPUSH detector also as a double check if experience any abnormal popups to your GUI . it found the app and i uninstalled it ASAP (it was a workout app)
That popup is not abnormal, it is a feature of the last update. It's called multi-card, and allows you to manage 2 or more applications simultaneously on the screen; if you drag one of the icons on the desktop it opens the corresponding application, and if you drag another will open the new application under the one that is opened before
That's amazing cheers guys! It was properly bothering me becaues it would pop up every now and then and I didn't know why!
Is it possible to add other applications to the selection to use in multi windows?

No, for now, the apps supported are only the ones you see

[Q] Customize Long Press Home?

I've noticed that if I long press the home button, a small circle appears surrounding the left corner of the screen. On the circle is a link to Google Search which is displayed as the word Google. My question is whether I can customize app links that come up on that circle and how to do that.

Is there a mod that allows that to change? I know some developers have been working on a mod to change the app choices in the quick launch menu that comes up when the S-pen is removed. Is anyone aware of a similar mod for adding new choices to the long press on home?

Nova Launcher lets you change it. (It doesn't - silly me)

Suggestion for Multi-Window

I love the new ideas for MW. I have a suggestion, if you swipe up (or left in portrait) the bottom app replaces the top one and left or right would remove it from the stack. It would be consistent with the card ui. Also I'm a fan of halo as a notification manager, but I don't like the floating window for multi-tasking. Would it be difficult to open the notification in multi-window instead?

Also instead of long pressing on the recent app to add an app to the split screen, maybe a small app that is essentially just an app drawer would be a smoother alternative.

1- navigation bar multiwindow button (to be long pressed)
2- all apps displayed in two split screens
3- clicked app opens on the respective side of the screen.

Earlier i has designed the multi window button in the top left side of the "recent apps"screen. but that increases the number of click. I thought multi window should be fast and seamless.

That's why I would make an app drawer. it would be one click and the first app in the stack could be used to launch any others. Plus it can be launched with a quick gesture in most launchers

You cant, it's a upgrade for the future read the future updates on the play store description
I could not find why people are so interest about this spam .
Guys this is still in BETA version i must say. So some features will still be developed, expect less first but the most important thing here is check for bugs and fc's.
I'm testing this on CM10.2 and CM11!

Looks nice but I don't know what's special in this lockscreen
Nice..but a bit laggy for my s4 though..
This works fine and the interest is because its a Android L lock screen. I use and it there is one more being developed as well. Gallery is coming soon as well as the status bar.

Thanks, well it replace my default Samsung lock screen?
Okay so this surprised me, it works pretty well. Just one thing, maybe don't have the settings on the lockscreen. Also have a look at allowing for customizes gestures. I am very used to just swiping right to unlock my device, will take a bit to get used to swiping up.
It's back up on the play store

My link send you to the play store.
Pressing the home button still lets you unlock it without any more action
There are various causes why I won't use this lockscreen for now:
- Hiding the status bar results in nav bar and status bar beeing accessable by swiping up/down, making unlocking a mess (it's just fullscreen...)
- Because of the previous bug the notification / quick settings area is accessable
- Disabling the home button results in the nav bar always beeing shown
- Nav bar is transparent, but has a bad looking shadow (see next image)
- The apps-ring of the home button is under the lockscreen, but the apps open when you "select" them (http://imgur.com/eNitpBU)
- My camera doesn't open with the build in feature (com.android.camera2 v2.0.002)
- No music player control
Nevertheless I buyed the premium addon to support your work, I hope this app will get better.
Link doesn't work
Can you just upload apk files on mediafire?
Any way to find a working link. Would like to try this out but all the links lead to nowhere.
