hello
i checked out widgetlocker and other lockscreen apps.
but the always juwt add another layer rather than modify the actual security screens.
i use the pin method to protect my phone.
and i do not want to first have to swipe away a screen to get to it.
but i would like to place a thing or two on the pin lock screen.
e.g. contact information in case the phone is lost or the ability to directly call someone without unlocking the phone.
(e.g. rather than just being able to call emergency numbers i would add a "call emergency contact" feature)
i was wondering if anybody could tell me which file contains the necessary pin screen layout information, i.e. which file would need to be modified to achieve this?
hope someone can help me out
or does someone know how to activate emergency contacts on the lock screen?

Well, you can put your contact under the "Owner Info", and it will show up on the PIN unlock screen (I use PIN lock myself). But as for having an actual shortcut/button to call a number, I have no idea...
already set the owner info, but that's not quite the same.
especially as it does not appear when you are charging or when the sim lock is shown.
i know that "ice_isenabled" should show the extra "group" and then show an additional button on the homescreen.
but it doesn't seem to work on my samsung.
motorola owners seem to be able to activate it...

Hmm... I do have the "ICE - Emergency Contacts" group, and I have some people in that group, but I didn't know it's supposed to enable an extra button/shortcut. I just checked, and it doesn't seem to work for me either...

Could it be something specific to a Moto custom UI (MotoBlur, or whatever it's called)?
which firmware are you using?
maybe you can see the group and add members but "ice_isenabled" isn't set yet?

Hello,
The lock screen on my hero has the curved grey bar with time, date and operator on it. The problem is, the operator name "Virgin Mobile" won't fit. For some reason it wraps "Mobile" to another line and you can only see the tops of the letters.
Any way to change the look of the lock screen (for instance, to the stock Android lock screen)?
Or alternatively, can I remove that lock screen completely, since I use the pattern unlock as well, and it's annoying unlocking the lock screen then having to do the pattern lock as well?
Thanks in advance.
Until somebody techy give you a proper answer try this. Press menu twice to get past the curved bar lock screen (one to wake up & the other to unlock)

I haven't tried anything like that myself yet but there are two posts over in 'themes and applications' section which might be helpful for you, here and here.

I downloaded Flyscreen from the market place last night & it was pretty cool, It puts twitter, facebook, calender, sms, rss information on a new look lock screen. If you want to read about it first check the link out

When my phone is locked (I need to drag my "locker" at the bottom upwards to unlock it) I can still access my "top menu". This is causing me to open up my phone when laying in my pocket, and its very disturbing.
Can I change so that I cant access ANYTHING on my screen while still locked?
Im having my phone rooted with insertcoin 5.0-5 (ROM)
I don't have my phone in front of me to verify this, but I believe if you enable any type of lock screen security, it will prevent the notification pulldown.

Ah, okay, but that security is to for example have an PIN code or something before enter the phone right? Will try it anyhow. Taking more tips if anyone knows how to make this work without this security enabled. Thanks for answering!
Hello!
I have a very specific question and don't know where to start looking.
When i look permissions for a specific app, then there is sometimes something like this: disable your screen lock
Does this mean that the app can disable screen lock and activate itself through lock screen?
I think if your screen lock is pattern based then it won't come through and when it's swipe based then it will work.
I want one specific app to be able to prompt itself through pattern based screen lock.
if i would use CyanogenMod and someone would change something in the code then it would be doable?
Funny thing is, that in Samsungs official android 4.1 it worked that way (and was in their words "a bug").
it's not working in andoird 4.3 anymore: bug fixed i guess. but i loved that bug.
AFAIK, only camera is able to bypass pattern or password lock.

the app is Estonian mobile personal idententification tool called mobiil-id
you can legally identify yourself in banks that way
when my screen security if set for pattern and when i try to authenticate somewhere, pin query comes through screen lock and i enter pin and phone does not unlock itself at all and goes back to sleep.
but when security is set for pattern, then i must unlock screen manually to enter pin. i can hear beep sound though.
probably should try to find some cm programmer who knows if there is a way to manually make some exceptions.
there is a possibility to compile your own cm and then deploy it. if it were some minor change, then i would do it myself with some help.
i know it's kinda security breach, which i'm willing to take.
I don't think this is possible, but if it is, please tell me how to do it.
I love my knock code from screen off, i like how it bypasses the lock screen and goes right where i left off at. The problem is.. I don't have shortcuts that way. Id like to make more knock codes. As an example, id like a separate knock code too open my messaging app, or a certain game, or music, etc.
Am i missing something? Can this be done through unrooted stock? If not, how could i get this request to someone at LG that could potentially make it happen?
I know i can long press volume buttons from screen off to get a couple of shortcuts, but i can't program it for apps that i choose. Im site that can be done after root tho.

Im sure that once we get root on our variant, that someone will come up with a way to do this, as it isn't an impossible feature to think about developing. It would have to be baked into a custom rom, or submitted to the Xposed framework or a developed app.
This is supposed to be a standalone device.
Great.
Wheres the security then???
Could someone please come up with a lockscreen (pattern / pin etc) for the Gear S
Just thinking aloud. The security is the pin when not connected to the phone. The phones' security and lock screen are in the systemui.apk which I don't even know exists for this device. I guess you would have to alter either one of the clock/home screen's code or alter the already installed disconnect pin, or a stand alone app that has root access. That would be cool for swipe, pattern, or even lock effects, but that's way above my pay grade. I love this watch and hope more development starts up. Just opinions.

I know right... this is a great watch with such scarce development for it.
It is a standalone device so it needs it's own security because i'll be using it without a phone soon. I'll need something to secure it but it seems the only way it can happen is if I learn the SDK and all that stuff which I just do not have time for and no experience with.

Not even an option at this point if you have an AT&T version
I also need a lockscreen not for security, simply because my clothes press accidentaly buttons and sometimes starts phone calls or mess up other things... please make a simple lockscreen so when i touch the screen from "screensaver watch" i must do a specific action to go to homescreen
I use the "do not disturb" on my S to lock the screen
Just one swipe down and one click on the chekbox.
