Shortcuts on the lock screen - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to use pattern unlock and also have shortcuts on the lock screen?
The option seems to be grayed out when pattern unlock is enabled...
thanks

Not sure if this is what you are talking about, but maybe try the No Lock app from the market...
hmm let me explain this I get the standard lockscreen display before I can unlock the phone, so it goes:
On/Off Button -> Lock Screen -> unlock pattern
i want it to go On/Off Button -> Unlock Pattern
is that possible?

Did you try the app I suggested? I think it does exactly what you are looking for...
There are also other apps on the market that disable the keyguard.
yes i did but it remove all unlocking...even the unlock pattern...i just want to remove the sense lockscreen not unlock pattern

Ah sorry, I forgot it did that (I use WidgetLocker now to actually replace the lockscreen). I also don't run Sense, so there's normally no lockscreen anyway when pattern lock in enabled.
Looked online and seems like it is a common complaint among Sense users. No good solutions appear to exist from just my quick searches (short of switching to a different). Maybe someone else will have some ideas...
k thx for ur answer i hope someone have a solution

Lockscreen N00bish Question?

Hi,
Just wondered, is there a way to have a pin on the galaxy s, but also still get the lock screen before the pin screen appears.
At the moment i found a nice lockscreen, had it all set how i like it, but then when i set a pin code i only get a pin screen when i unlock the phone.
I hope you follow what im asking?
Anyone able to shed some light on this?
Could you be litle more detailed with your question????

I know that! But i dont want to go back to Miui. I find stock ROM with a good kernel responds and works better with better battery life IMO.
My question is this:
Set lock screen works great
Then set PIN and you ONLY get a PIN screen and NO LOCK SCREEN at all.
I hope that makes sense?
No one at all?
I use Locale with Password lock plugin they just working as you need, only password/pin requested, no screen unlock action required.
Ops, sorry, I was wrong. It also needs a screen unlock before the password/pin.

[Q] Remove T-Mobile Screen Lock

Is it at all possible to remove the T-Mobile screen lock? I want to use a pattern lock and not have to double unlock my screen. Thanks in advance.

what T-Mobile screen lock..?
are you talking about the lockscreen?
It's not T-Mobile lockscreen, it's HTC's. A regular lockscreen. You probably got confused, because it shows the current cellular carrier.
You can remove it by removing HtcLockScreen.apk from /system/app/.
You need root for that.
And I don't remember if the AOSP lockscreen that will appear, when switched to pattern lock, won't show the unlock arrows first. I didn't use it for a very long while.

If you want to stop using it completely, don't worry bout rooting your phone if that's your only issue. On the Android market there's a few lock screen replacement apps, that override the HTC one. Lock 2.0 an widgetlocker are the two in recommend the most, preferably widgetlocker, bit more options with it.
If I helped, give thanks, if you please.

Any way to keep fingerprints without Lockscreen?

I'd like to keep fingerprints to use with App Lock and such but without using the lockscreen. Any way to keep them?
I also want this, so it works like a password for apps
but I don't like to unlock my phone at all, just swipe on the lockscreen
I searched a lot, found another thread someone wanted this too
but nobody understood him, they thought he wants only Fingerprint without pin?
but why is it not possible to use Fingerprint (and backup pin or password) ONLY for applock, and not on the lockscreen

In addition to the FP, use on body detection and face unlock.
That should reduce if not eliminate the need to unlock the phone manually.

But then I can't swipe on the lockscreen, there's no lock at all, so if I was previously in whatsapp I would be instantly online, instead of just reading messages on the lockscreen

Try using the app No Lock :

I don't use the FPR,or,any lockscreen for that matter,so,IDK if this will work.
I used it on other phones where you had to use at minimum a swipe to open & it bypassed that requirement,perhaps it'll do the same in this situation.

It was only a suggestion.
I don't mind a lock screen on my phone.
I want my phone to lock.

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it, but still have to swipe to get in. I'm not sure of other OS' but TouchWiz allowed for it. I'll write OnePlus Dev's to hopefully include it on an update. Also, native rear flash notification since we don't have a led for it.
