Call pre-defined Contacts without unlocking the phone (NO ROOT) - Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps

Hi all!
I'm sure that-alike me, many (if not all) of you feel irritated to feed in the PIN/Pattern/Finger Swipe, etc needed to get past the Lock Screen just to call those few people you call 20 outta 25 times you use your phone to call..
Girlfriend
Papa
Mummy
Best Friend :highfive:
Co-Worker :cyclops:
etc, etc, etcetera.. :laugh:
It gets further problematic while one is driving (without Bluetooth) or some other situation which I can't think of now..
Before, Lollipop, when TouchWiz Roms were still fully compatible with Xposed-I used Gestures to get this task accomplished but that's past..
I still wanted that ease of not unlocking the phone just to do this simple task..
And then, I, for the VERRRRRRRRRRY 1ST TIME, took note of the Emergency Dialler (that's how Samsung Galaxy Note 3-Lollipop spells Dialer) that sits on our phone's Lock Screen
And a 'penny dropped' in my body's data processor.. Lol..
I unlocked my phone.
Opened Contacts app.
Tapped on Group
Selected "ICE - emergency contacts"
Tapped on +
Selected "Add existing contact"
Ticked (selected) the desired contacts and tapped on "DONE"
Went back to where it all began - phone's Lock Screen
Followed by, yes, you guessed it right - the Emergency Dialler
Pressed + (4 contacts can be set to appear on the main screen of the Emergency Dialler)
and that's Me (& now you) saving several taps and annoyances.. :victory:
You can access the other selected contacts by tapping on the Siren icon in the Dial Pad
I can confirm it works on Samsung's Note 3, S4, S4 Mini, S5, S5 Mini, Tab S (10.5"), Tab S (8.4") & many other newer phones.
I tried it on S3 Mini, though, Emergency Dialler was present there - 4 contacts can't be set in the main screen of the Emergency Dialler, maybe that's the case with S3 too..
I hope it helps and this wasn't posted anywhere else-I tried finding it, couldn't find..
Please hit Thanks if you cherish my efforts..

PLUGIN Request: Simple Phone Status

EDIT: Seemed to have screwed up BBCode on this post while trying to edit :S
see new post below!
I've been looking for along time for a very simple plugin, but it doesn’t seem to have been made. I have considered writing it myself, but looking at articles it seems the programming experience I have (developing web applications) is largely irrelevant
The closest plugin I have found to do what I want is called PhoneToday (see below)
{
"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"
}
The plugin I’d really like is as such:
The left hand icon is of a little phone (like PhoneToday) and on the right of the icon is the Operator Name and nothing else. Tapping this line does nothing.
On the second line on the left is the e-mail icon from messaging app (Is it possible to have two icons for one today plugin?) which says SMS: x/y (where x is unread messages and y is the total in the inbox and subfolders – the total bit is important) tapping this line should open the SMS inbox. The text would be bold if there was a new message.
Below that line (with no left hand icon) it would say ‘No missed calls’ if there had been no missed calls and X missed calls if there had. The text would be bold if there had been a missed call. Tapping this line should open the call log.
The above would just be perfect…as I have a *very* busy schedule and love being able to see it all on one page – which requires my today screen to be pretty empty!
If anyone was feeling the need to extend the plug-in it would also be really good if you could choose to add extra lines for each different mailbox (MMS, IMAP, Exchange/ActiveSync) and maybe add some options for changing fonts/icons…I dunno!
I would be really made up if anyone (apart from JGUI – you have caused me to hard reset twice now…I don’t like you) would be able to make a nice simple plugin like this or knows of one I’ve missed.
Thanks *very* much

BA with many shortcuts and block "Contacts"

People, I have a BlueAngel and i install many roms of WM5, WM6, WM6.1 but after I install this roms the desktop of my BlueAngel stay with many shortcuts for same thing, like:
- 4 Shortcuts for Help
- 6 Shortcuts for IE
- 3 Shortcuts for Live Messenger
- .....
But ever time I use XDADev_all-unlock-V.16_138_696 before install new ROM... and in the last 5 ROMS my "Contacts" are block I Cant put contacts using my BA or using ActiveSync..
So then these are my problems:
- Many shortcuts for same program;
- Impossible add contacts in "contacts"
Anybody can help me?!
Thanks!

Your problem is rather simple, you are not following the procedure exactly as you should. More precisely, you are not cleaning the hive. And to put the cherry on top, why are you using the XDA-unlock tool every time??
Follow this tutorial on the wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardMain
This is the true step by step to up/downgrade a Blue Angel. Follow each step and you'll have a smooth running device.
For the time being, to solve your problem do the following:
0. [highlight]BACK UP YOUR STUFF SINCE YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING!![/highlight]
1. Soft Reset the device (stylus on the bottom hole)
2. Just as the device begins waking up (RGB screen), quickly hold Power +the two side buttons (Record + WMP if you have an SX66)
3. You will be prompted with three options, by using the side buttons again, change them to "NO YES YES" and press the "Mail" button. Your screen will turn white for a minute or so. Don't worry, it is cleaning your device from old junk from the previous roms.
Thats it! Your device will restart and prompt you through the startup of Windows Mobile.
Having said all that, tell us how much Storage memory you get when you are done... (I have a feeling that you missed a step).
Good luck!
i never do the 3rd step
All Functions is enable now... and all errors is fixed...
Thanks

[APP] [2.2+] PhoneLeash:SMS,missed call to email/SMS; SMS reply; GPS

[Post updated to point to latest version on Android Market]
Hi XDA community!
Our first app PhoneLeash is on the Android Market (free).
{
"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",

}
I like to call it the "misplaced phone app" since its meant for the more common occurrence of your phone simply not being near you, rather than being stolen.
PhoneLeash has features for finding your lost phone (or at least confirming where you think you left it) while also letting you know who is calling/texting meanwhile. Its not trigger happy (yet!) about wanting to wipe all the data the minute you see your phone isn't with you
We are trying to get the right balance of features, here is what we have now:
GPS locating
SMS/missed call forwarding to email or phone
Reply to SMS
Low battery alert
Remote ring
Privacy (no website tracking your phone)
Battery life -- after all you won't be using these features much of the time, so why have features that constantly drain your battery.
Unique feature - With PhoneLeash you can (remotely) reply to an SMS, and it goes out from your phone - the other side simply cannot tell the difference. While new and unique, we want to make sure we keep it simple to use. Speaking of simplicity, all of PhoneLeash fits in 1-2 spartan screens.
We've tested with Go SMS, Handcent to make sure PhoneLeash works with their default settings. PhoneLeash can also forward to HeyWire SMS numbers as well.
We found out that some tablets (Galaxy 8.9) do SMS but no telephony, so those are supported now as well.
If you can give it a try, we'll be very thankful. And ask for features - maybe they'll happen!
Thanks!
PVS, GearAndroid

Here is a link and some screencaps of the new features in v 1.5
I am not a Twitter-user (tweeter?) but just used PhoneLeash to send in my first tweet from my phone. Sent this SMS from Google Voice to my PhoneLeash-ed phone-- "40404 here's a random tweet"--and by magic it showed up in my Twitter account!
on i 9000?
Is it available on samsung galaxy i 9000?
Very cool. I will test it out soon.

Tweaked S-Pen setting on non-stock ROMs (Requires TASKER)

I noticed that there are many people using AOSP roms (CM mostly) and are unsatisfied with the S-Pen experience. Now there are couple of applications that bring S-Pen sheer awesome back from dead ('Reset S-Pen' for calibration and 'GMD Control' for gesturing), so there's that.
Out of these many people, there are few who notice that even when S-Pen is calibrated, whenever Note goes in landscape mode, the cursor still is following portrait calibration. This is problem 1.
Problem 2 is out of these few people, there are even fewer people, like myself, who are left-handed. So when we go from Stock to AOSP/AOKP/AOSPA/CM/"Insert ROM here", we are screwed pretty much from the beginning.
So, wrapping up the *****ing, here is something I created on Tasker to ease my life, and I hope it teases your's too.
NOTE: I'm a left handed person and everytime android restarts, it sets hand preference to Right hand. So 2 of these tasks automatically set dominant hand to left whenever any of the profiles are matched.
Installation Instruction:
0. Get Tasker from Playstore if you don't already have. It is THE AUTOMATION TOOL for Android devices, makes your phone actually "smart".
1. Download Tasker.zip (or save it, you know what I meant).
2. Open the archive and extract the lonely folder "Tasker" into your sdcard (internal sd if phone has, well, internal sd).
3. Open Tasker. Now if my profiles, tasks and scene isn't already listed, don't worry, just open menu and select Data>Restore. From there you may either get a warning Dialogue to Restore or a file explorer inside Tasker folder containing Backup.xml. Either way, just Restore.
4. Use common/non-sense and activate profiles accordingly.
X. If you're on CM10.2, you can flash this. Replaces Vanilla Black Arrow Cursor with Samsung stock S-Pen cursor. Extremely helpful if you like doodling or drawing.

I hope it helps others. I hope this turns out to be useful and not complete waste of forum-space.
Thank you XDA Community, it couldn't have been possible without you.

are note edge edge panel still functional in the 6.0.1 official update?

I've been wanting to update to android 6, but i heard that there are bugs, can someone please tell me the bugs that they have encountered
i have read somewhere that some edge functionalities have been removed, such as phone calls (they are not showing in the edge anymore, night clock, etc.) are there any other edge functionalities that are gone? when updating from Kit Kat to Marshmallow?, or should i update, i want the new Icons, screen off memo, air command ui - that is all i want from the new update (coming from stock kit kat)
thanks
We have a major bug in MM, fingerprint issue, it causes soft reboots. See more: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/help/mm-update-lockscreen-set-to-fingerprint-t3366375
Edge panels will work towards. Phone calls etc still shown on Edge screen.
Incoming phone calls still show on the edge, but the widget for shortcuts to direct dial contacts is no longer there. I use the paid edge panel Quick Contacts as a workaround.
Camera button shifted to main screen in Lollipop and stays there in MM.
Night clock does not show the weather.
Other things are more less the same on the edge.
S pen is much better and the system runs much smoother. Personally, found it a good upgrade except for the two annoyances above.

The fix on the Verizon model is to turn off the three animation settings in developer settings. Turn them all of the way off. Mine (Verizon model) hasn't done the soft reboot since I changed it this morning. It had been doing it CONSTANTLY since way back in July or whenever we went to Marshmallow on the Verizon version.
PLEASE let Samsung Support and your carrier know that this is a problem that THEY need to fix.
It was driving me absolutely crazy.

does the edge auto shuts down on 11 % battery ?
Update. No missing function. Only issue is if you use a fingerprint occasionally the device will software reboot and force you the enter the backup password and give no option for fingerprint. Very annoying but you could just use pin or another lock option.
