Lockscreen Settings for SlimKat - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey There,
Im running SlimKat on my Nexus S. Unfortunately I can`t edit my lockscreen. Anyway, there is a dashclock widget on the lockscreen. I want to replace it with a different widget. How can I do this without Lockscreen Settings within the Rom (SlimKat Bulid 3)?
Thanks in advance!

Same problem here.
The dashclock app doesn't show my messages, missed calls, whatsapp messages and email. It only shows temperature and gmail email count.

Noone knows about that?!?!

Put your finger on the clock, drag it down to the lock icon, now you have a settings icon on the right of the clock.

Moreover go to Settings > Security > Check 'Enable widgets' under 'Screen Security'.
Go to the lockscreen then press and hold the finger on the left and swype to the right to show up a new screen to be able to add new widgets.

On SlimKat this feature is into the Developer options as far as I remember.

That was the first one I tried I've gone through the whole settings menu at least 5 times but not a thing about changing the widgets on lockscreen. At least I got rid of the Dashclock widget by disabling the app.

Just to add to what has already been posted, I was Googling for a solution, found it and then found this thread. I am running Slimkat on my LG G Pad 8.3. Adding extensions to Dashclock can help. To edit settings, on the standard Slimkat lockscreen, there is a small gear icon on the right-hand side of the clock, tap that, unlock your screen, and an "Extensions" screen pops up. Extensions can also be deleted at will.
There aren't many extensions installed by default (4 or 5 I think) but you can add more through the Play Store (tap on the top right hand side menu, then tap Get more extensions).

That's the thing. I don't have the small gear. https://www.dropbox.com/s/hruw3tge69ir7qv/2014-05-08 19.52.41.png

Are you using Dashclock or another type of widget?
If you tap once on the clock, then unlock, what does your screen show?
If you press and hold just under the clock, can you tap on a giant "+" that appears on the left (and add another widget) or delete the clock widget altogether by sliding it to the left on the Remove option?

What is your home application? provide more details
i'm sorry i'm new to this, what is a home application? hmmm.. I'm running a unrooted x10 as of right now... if that helps. Thanks!
The button i was talking about is the center bottom button that becomes a trash can when you try to delete applications from your home screen. I was wondering how I can install shortcuts next to the trash can button. I didnt know x10 was capable of doing this until I used the clean-up.bat that came along with jit. However, I have since factory reset the x1o, and I was wondering how I can get the shortcuts functions back without all the other customized functions that clean-up.bat gives you after you run it. Thanks!

Im assuming you have adw, if so do as i have mentioned below:
Long press empty place of the home screen
select Launcher actions
select Open/close app drawer
Then your icon will appear in the scree, simply drag the icon to desired position on the bottom bar, in your case to the center location
Cheers
What is adw? and how can I find out if I have it or not? when I long press the home screen, it gives me 4 options - shortcuts, widgets, folders, and wallpapers. I do not have launcher actions.... how do I get that? Thanks!
Install LauncherPro, long press the icon, and change the icon, or the function.

Simple AOSP lockscreen with JKay's app

Hi guys!
I was wondering if it is possible to use the classic AOSP lockscreen with JKay's theme manager. I mean just the unlock option, sliding from left to right, without camera, FM radio, sms and so on. Thanks in advance

I believe so

Go into the jkay app, tap the options top left, top right etc then press menu and select not in use, unlock and sound toggle as you see fit.

first off, really new...this is my first post here.
I don't see the options. I am in the JKay app what I have is the following titles for option:
1) Lock Screen
2) Lock screen actions (long press for icons)
3) Lock screen wallpaper
4) Lock screen options
5) Miscellaneous
6) Phone options dialog
No options for me. I too want the simple look.
If it's ok, can you include screenshots?

Text Message Notifications

When I get a text message Ive got my phone set to turn the screen on. I have a stand for my phone that props it up and points it at me in my office. Is there a way to get it to display the notification horizontally on the screen rather than in the standard vertical position on the lock screen?
I think this has something to do with the lock screen being portrait. I could be wrong though

If you mean the homescreen, it depends of your launcher. Almost of all have an option to achieve it (screen settings >orientation settings, or something like that).
If you mean all the GUI, and you have a CyanogenMod based ROM, go to Settings >CM Setings >Screen, and disable 0° option.

My launcher is ADW EX. Not sure on version.
I sometimes use WidgetLocker when I feel like changing things up between MIUI themes and other lock screens.

That changes home screen orientation, not the lockscreen orientation.
Damn... that's right. Well, searching I found this. It's a long process, but it's pretty easy

On MIUI in the Framework-Res I dont have a bools.xml file or the config_ string.
Anyone else?
you can set widget locker to alter the orientation to match the phones.

Lock the screen using Knock-On without going to homescreen

Like most of you G2 users I went to the homescreen first to lock the screen (when I didn't want to use the back button).
Recently I discovered that it is possible to use the double-tap feature without going tot the homescreen, in order to do this you must double-tap on the notification bar (in other words, it doesn't work if the app runs full screen).
I tried this with different apps like Chrome, Quickremote, YouTube and Maps and it works with them all.
Let me know if this worked with your G2, I am very curious whether it works with all G2's or not. :good:

You can use knock off with any launcher that supports gestures. I use Nova Prime and downloaded a screen off app, then set it to activate upon double tapping the homescreen. And you can still double tap the statusbar from any screen.
You can force notification to show when the app is full screen
Just slide down. First slide down show notif bar, Second slide is show whole notif.
So you can knock off every time.

I tried to set it up with Go Launcher but it only wanted to let me do something with opening apps or widgets.

It sounds like the CM maintainers are working on it, but I set up one of my Quick Launch shortcuts to do "Screen Off", and it's really easy to use that way. I like it a lot better than having it in the notification drawer tiles or on the quick pulldown tiles. Pretty much no matter what screen you're on, you can swipe up from the bottom QUick Launch icon to instantly lock the phone. I do it one-handed all the time. Being right-handed, it's easiest to set it to the left-hand icon position so you can swipe away with just your thumb.
For CM 10.2 users, it's in: Settings > Interface > Quick Launch Shortcuts, then swipe to the desired location and choose to bind the "Screen Off" command. :good:

Oh, good to know. I've been using Nova Launcher Prime on top of whatever I've flashed on. Right now, I'm using Carbon + Nova. In Nova, you can still set up gestures with an app, so I use Screen Off and Lock from the Play Store. This way, I can flash between different ROMs and not worry about having knock off unavailable.

Icons style

Is there anyway to change the icons style from the Xperia Home launcher?
I want to see the icons as they are not contained in a circle. Is there anywhere you can change this? Without installing another launcher.
Thanks
You can change the outline in launcher settings to square, teardrop, squircle etc.

Maybe I have a different software version(still I've updated it today to the last version) or it's something regional....
It wasn't on the original firmware but came in the first firmware update.

Can you please tell me what software version you currently have?
Mine is 55.0.A.2.278, an update was available yesterday when I got the phone, also what phone version do you have? maybe it's different because the phone versions are different, mine is J9110.
Same firmware and model. Norway regional customization.
