[Q] Softlock Button Idea - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
actual i have a Widget on my Homescreen to Lock my Device:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And here is my Question now.
Is it Possible to Lock the Screen with an App from the Homebutton (Longpress), where you can get to Google Now?
Maybe just replace the Google Now Link there. (All on a rooted Orig Firmware w/ locked BL.)

It would be quicker to just replace one of the 4 links at the bottom of the home screen with a shortcut to that app) that's what I have

I did this too, but it feelt kinda awkward for me.
This space is used as i like it the most (Screenshot).
The quick way is not the best for everyone, so i hope to get any help/answer how to do that.
But Thanks for your help and sorry for my broken english
Edit:
I found a Solution, Root is not required, so everyone can do this..
Home Button Launcher is the launcher for swiping up from the home button.
Soft Lock Screen is the App to lock your screen. (The one i used before didnt worked well, because i need a App for the launcher and not a Widget). Dont forget to Check "Auto Start Mode" if you only use one App in the Launcher
You dont have to wait till the Icon appears, what i tought first... just swipe up from your homebutton.

You can use DTSO from play store and you have a transparent widget in the Widgets section on your phone. Put the widget on the screen and...THAT'S IT!

I'm on DP Rom, using Zeam launcher. The clock is a UCCW widget.
The 't' icon, is the Nook bluetooth tethering widget.
The only problem i have, is that when i turn my watch on, there is a split second delay for the UCCW widget to update to the correct time
No device should be without the mandatory "show your home screen" thread
I like your idea of using UCCW for the clock widget but found that using One More Clock has some nice presets already. Anyway, all I actually wanted to ask is what the best way for taking screen shots on the MotoACTV are... I'm spoiled with the pre-installed tools on my TF101 and the Note II but i still have a tool I downloaded from here a long time ago.
Thanks!

How did you install widgets? I'm on the latest DP rom and every widget that I've install doesn't show up under the list (only the stock ones do) when trying to add a widget to zeam launcher or launcher 7. I just tried one more clock with no avail.

You have to go into Manage Applications and find your installed widget, then click the "move to phone" button.

[App][2.1+] Simple and small flashlight with DOGE theme 1.1. Such app, very light.

I've created a simple flashlight app, it's small (1.1 MB) and (for now) it only has one button (ON/OFF). It works with devices with no led (lights with the screen) and it has simple layout - button with transculent background, you can minimize the app by touching the background. I've noticed that most of the flashlight apps have fullscreen activities with many buttons, functions and animations. All I want for app like this is one, simple ON/OFF button so I made my own. I added the doge theme, because it's fun and popular, I don't want a boring flashlight, like the most on the market
I made this app mainly as a joke, I don't think I plan to make money out of it, it's also my first app in the market (not to count the ones I made in my work). I'm planning to do some update after my christmas break - widget, better looking button, maybe notification bar button, but in the end I want this app to stay simple. So I wanted to share it with XDA - what do you think, is there a need for ANOTHER FLASHLIGHT?

Shameless selfbump
Guys, at least tell me is it working on your devices and/or should I change/add something (but remember I want it to remain small and simple)

Yup, I was planning to add ON/OFF button to lock screen, I never saw that in other flashlights I had, and I think it's pretty obvious idea to have one. And of course widget is coming.

[req] notification toggles for stock roms

Guys I really need this. I am ex Samsung user so all samsung phones have this. I used to it. There are some apps on google play but they are not good at all. Can anyone do this? For dual sim support. If yes, I can share systemUI.apk. Thanks!
Open the notifications shade and click the right most button.

I dont think you understood what I want. That option is not so useful.
I know what you mean. AOSP has two separate tabs for notifications and quick toggles. Samsung uses an overlay called TouchWiz that, among other things, integrates these two tabs into one.

He mean this one form cyanogenmod.

App like simi-folder - floating shortcuts?

Hi folks,
I'm looking for an app where if I press a shortcut (from Pie specifically), it will bring up a bunch of pre-defined app shortcuts.
Simi folder works well, but the problem for me is that it positions itself oddly. Its fine if I launch it from the dock row of icons (which I actually want to replace) but because Pie is built into systemUI, it positions itself near the status bar.
I dont want something that swipes from the side of the screen or similar. I just want to press a button and have the icons pop up, preferably in a predefined location, but at least not at the top of the screen
This is what simifolder looks like (as launched from home screen)

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
which would be perfect, except the problem is if launched from Pie, its at the top of the screen, which is annoying.
Does anyone know of similar apps that would do this, launchable from a custom shortcut?

No but it does look good... I could make a nice UCCW widget for the apps I want to launch.
Open to other ideas too.

I prefer Zooper, but I am just in the first steps with popup widget. UCCW should work, too.

You can use a launcher like dodol or nova to hide these apps from your drawer.
no

There isnt no other way out which the mobile offers itself? I have more updated apps buy i dont want to do it since it will appear in 'all apps' ;_;
Ahh, you meant this. @msanketh is right Sony doesnt give the possibility to hide app icons in their launcher, so u neec to use other launcher or "live" with it. Unfortunatelly even if this addons are part of camera app they are standalone apps to, so they are shown in both places
