Is there a way to turn off these lock screen short cuts or edit them?
this is not possible!
You can change the lockscreen with design app.
But unfortunately, other lock-secreens can not show notifications!
Only "magazin" is able to do.

Does anyone know where I can get some new screen lock sliders/lock screen view mods? I had a quick scan on here but can't see much....unless I'm been thick!
Ta.
I was wondering if anyone knew of an app that would lock the screen rotation. Now, this isn't just a widget i'm looking for. I was hoping that you could lock/unlock screen rotation with the camera hard key. That way, you wouldn't need to see the notification bar or go back to the home screen or slow down the homescreen with a widget. You just hit the button, and it locks. Easy.
Hello,
I'm using a stock HTC Desire with Android 2.2 and would like to lock the screen with password, but only when I say so.
I don't want the screen to be locked with password after timeout. I want to be able to lock the screen with password, but only when I want it to be password protected.
Is this possible?
In devices lower than 2.2, you can use a toggle to turn password protection on/off. I'm pretty sure you can't with 2.2 (for security reasons). The toggles will take you to the settings page, where you could do it manually. I don't know of an actual way to do it, although it may be possible with Tasker. Probably not though, due to the limitation in the OS.
hmm..that would have been a cool feature, hopefully might be able to figure this out sometime, if it is even possible :/
Or just to be able to set the timeout for like 1 hour and then to be able to lock it when I want to (when I know I won't be near it and don't wont for somebody else to read my messages).
BlackBerry, for instance, has the lock icon which locks both the screen and password protects it. Nokia has the lock option when you hit the power switch. Android, which has an enormous amount of cool features, doesn't have this?! :/
I will take a look at this later, it might be possible to just call the lock screen from a widget, without permanently enabling it.
interesting idea, toggling the password every time im surrounded with people, and untoggle it when im alone )
The only other alternative to this is to have it set to be locked immediately & then use No Lock to entirely disable the lockscreen when you don't need it to be password protected. The only problem with this is you won't have a lockscreen at all & your phone will wake up with the volume buttons.
What I do, which isn't nearly as protected as password protection, but does the job for most situations, is use Widgetlocker. You can use a transparent slider so you know where to drag & unlock but no one else does. Or you can go with no sliders & just use the back button to unlock and set the back press duration to a couple seconds. No one will know unless they know Android & Widgetlocker well. Just don't put any shortcuts on the screen as once you're in an app you can press the home button. Or you could use a transparent slider to toggle interactions. When you want to be able to launch your shortcuts, toggle interactions on & then toggle them off when you want it locked.
If you need more help with this, feel free to pm me.
Also note that Widgetlocker is a paid app... $2-$3, I can't remember how much exactly. But it's totally worth the money.
I really like the look of the water rippling as I swipe on my swipe lockscreen. I have a rooted phone and I wish there was some way to put a widget on the screen (specifically doggcatcher). I know I can put a pin code or pattern lock screen and get a doggcatcher player on that screen, but I only want to have a swipe lockscreen. Is there any way to get what I'm looking for? I hope that makes sense. Thanks!
I prefer not to shimmy up the phone to reach the power button, and have it set up so a double tap on the back key turns the screen off. However, they do not shoe up on the lock screen. So I have to enter the pattern then turn the screen off. Does anyone know a mod or widget you can place on the screen in the lock screen to turn the display off?
Thanks
Viper ROM has that sort of option. I don't use Xposed, but I believe it does as well.

If you're willing to flash a custom kernel, Evolution's kernel has swipe to sleep feature (swipe right to left on the bottom of the screen to turn it off, works on lock screen.)

If you are using the stock LockScreen, double tapping anywhere on the display will turn the screen off. If you are using a replacement LS you can get an Xposed module that turns the screen off with a double tap on the status bar.
