[Q] How to customize AOSP lockscreen? - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

By adding widgets (like Music) and adding shortcuts to the circle?
I really like the look of the lockscreen, but if I can't customize like the default lockscreen I may switch back.

I did wonder this too. I'm using AOSPX 4.0.4 BR6 and it's a problem I can't work out.
I also had a problem adding a 2nd Google Drive account, but this was fixed by adding another Google account. This is different to how the Drive worked in Virtuous Quattro RC3, which allowed you to add another account directly from within the Drive app.
Any ideas anyone? Or is the feature removed from AOSP/AOSPX?
Thanks.

Here's what you do...process should be somewhat similar for all aosp based roms...but this is for cm9
Go to settings
***here's where it may be different***
Go to lock screen/anything that relates to customization....if you need help take a screenshot of your settings and I'll tell you which one***

Staying on topic here, there are no such options for the lock screen customisation in AOSPX 4.0.4 BR6. All there is are:
1. SCREEN LOCK - Slide, Password, Pin, Pattern etc.
2. OWNER INFO - obvious.
There are no settings to customise the lock screen or icons in any other way. Although Quattro RC3 did have this option, because I set it.
A 'long' hold of the MENU button on the HOME screen brings up some preferences, I thought it might be in here, but actually all this does is allow you to configure the HOME screen, i.e. number of home screens, search bar persistence etc.
Any other ideas? Thanks.

thats wasn't really going off topic...this thread is in the vivid q&a section
I'm pretty sure its in pure aosp... but not positive (not running a pure aosp so I can't test...) so as of right now I have no other suggest ions except maybe go the thread of your aosp from and ask there...or preferably its q&a thread if one exists

No lol, that was cm9 on my Samsung infuse (I own both the vivid and the infuse)
-i can attempt to compile aospx for the vivid a little later...although I'm no dev like syn... so it would most likely by really buggy...

Looking for 2 apps.

Hey guys.
I've searched for a couple of hours for 2 apps and can't find them. I ran a search on xda and nothing.
First app:
A battery indicator that i can see in the notification area but does not have a icon on the notification bar. I want to be able to drop down the notification bar and see the status of my battery in percentages. I prefer my notification bar as clean as possible.
Second app:
Power controls in the notification area. I found Quick Settings, but that opens another app to change the settings. I'm looking for a way to activate wifi, bluetooth and so on just by taping something in the notification area.
Thanks.
So, the conclusion is that there are no such apps?
It s only too much.
Quick settings is very impressive. It starts the app from the notification bar, thats right.
But, what would you all switch from the notification bar:
Wifi
APN
Brighness
GPS
Auto Sync
Bluetooth
Airplane Mode
etc...
There are too much options for one notification bar.
I'm thinking that an app like this would let me choose 3-4 toggles. I realize it's impossible to have them all.
Oh, and a toggle does not take a row, instead all the toggles should be on the same row but with separators between them.
OK, I' have to say, that I never found such a programm. Sorry.

So the default power bar widget won't work for you? It's pretty much exactly what you pictured, however a widget.
If you want to choose and have your own order, use beautiful widgets.
Why try and cram this into the notification area? You have 5 desktop screens (more with add-ons and custom ROM's) to put this stuff. Navigation from screen to screen is fast and easy (even if you hate the swipe thing).
Or this even? http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.extendedcontrols/
Dunno, just lost as to why I guess.
Yes, you are right, it looks like the power settings widget, but i want it in the notification area to be able to change settings without leaving the current app and stop using the widget. I need the space for other stuff
moved to the Q&A section
What about quickdesk? Kmobs hads mentioned it on twitter couple of times. you can put anything you want even the settings widget and can change it without leaving the app.

Are you talking about the widget? If yes, its not what i'm looking for. Like i said, both apps need to display something in the notification area, so no widgets and no notification bar icons.

i never tried it but damn is too bad the home button gets removed didn't know it. but the app is in beta maybe it will get fixed.
UPDATE: Today the QuickDesk app was released on the market and it fixed the issue, so now i can use it
One problem solved.
PS: I strongly recommend QuickDesk so go download it.

Stock Android 2.3.1 (which Nexus S) uses doesn't have that.
PS. Is it really necessary to write in bold/red/italics? Man it was annoying having to edit the quote to remove all that.
my work around is to stick the Power Control widget on a screen of my choice
it's included with stock Android
but there is no option to attach it to the status screen

Yeah, that's what I thought
to above user, i loove to use different fonts/color/size.
well, i was looking for the powercontrol for the statusbar, as the statusbar is accesible everywhere, when desktop is not, as i recall

Again, CM has the setting to change the colors and the items in the status bar power widget
Widgetsoid does a great job at a power control widget and it is free.

I've missed this from my Galaxy S too, but the best work around I've found is Quick Settings - search on appbrain (cant post links as I'm 'new') and configure it to display in the notification shade, but to hide the icon in the notification bar.
If there is another solution to properly get buttons as on the Galaxy S ROMs (other than the often suggested - "flash CM7") I'd love to hear of it though. I know the notification shade can't be edited by a simple .apk, but this isn't the first time I've seen this request and would have thought it really ought to be possible somehow without delving into the deepest darkest recesses of the android system -but of course I am probably wrong

[BIG REQUEST] The Perfect Sense 3.0 Lockscreen

I've been on the search for the perfect Sense 3.0 Lockscreen for MIUI.
I've downloaded so many, and they each have their pros and cons, but never all pros, that I want.
Either, they'll have good icons, but the date is messed up.
One will have music controls, but no notifications on the text/phone icons.
Stuff like that.
I have a screenshot of the Sense lock I'm using now, which has the perfect icons and such. But it's missing notifications on the icons and music controls.
I also uploaded the mtz for it.
I'm hoping someone will be so awesome and edit it for me.
On this mtz, I want:
-The date format changed from "04.09.2011" to "EEEE, MMM dd"
-Music controls, after double tapping lock ring or date.
-Notification bubbles over phone and text icons when I receive them.
If someone could make this happen for me, that would be amazing.
I'd have the perfect Sense 3.0 lockscreen that I've been searching for. : ]

Small changes in the position of the icons
Added fade animation applications and status of "charged, Charge Complete

Other apps fade animation to select one
Notifications calls and messages (including unlock if you make double tap on the icon)
Music Controls with cover + animation fade

[Q] ICS - how can I remove Settings from notification window?

Hi all,
with the upgrade to ICS, there is now the Settings option always in the notification window when you pull it down.
Is there any way to remove this?
It just takes up space preventing me from seeing notifications I actually want to see.
It is not difficult to get to the settings screen by just pressing the menu button and then selecting Settings, so it's not really any more efficient.
Plus, once you have you phone setup, you don't really need to go into settings that often (I use widgets to toggle things like wifi, BT, gps, rotation, screen brightness and timeout).
thanks,
Rich
Having same question
Yeah, I just upgraded to ICS today and would like to remove that Settings from notification too... Anyone?

Same here.
Anyone else noticed their phone getting a lot hotter than it did on gingerbread? :s
Its a feature in stock ics. If you want away with look for a custom rom that doesnt have it.
Dont think there is any such rom though
Me too this feature of ICS (4.0.4) is anoying me, any updates?
I guess it is not only on the Galaxy Note, it impact all devices, right?
Do we know if this is improved on Jelly bean?

I don't understand why this is anoying? For me it is a natural place to have the settings access, because it is allways available. So in 2 touches I can open the settings menu, which I do very frequently, by the way.
On GB, the only way is to press the menu button on any home screen (with no app opened). To have this, I need to press home, press menu and only then touch the settings option.
So, I think that ICS implementation is better, at least for those that go frequently to the settings page.
Maybe for those that don't do it often, this option is irrelevant - but I wouldn't imagine it would be anoying to some one.
But, I understand that our beloved Note is used by a very wide audience, with different expectations and uses for their phones.
So, yes, it would be a good thing to have the ability to configure what would appear or not on the notification screen.
But, as far as I know, JB is like ICS and HC.
It is annoying because it waist space, forcing you to scroll down to see the actual notification (as indicated above).
And for me it is easy to access my frequent Settings, because I use Wigetsoid to change them from my Home and the Notification. And if I need to access a un-frequent one, I use the task manager of ICS to switch to Settings (1 long press on Home then one press on Settings).
Also it is misusing the Notifications for shortcut, since Settings is not a notification
I'm using Rocket ROM v7 now and the settings option takes up a lot less space and I can see a lot more notifications.

[Q] Apply Nova Settings "Icon Theme" to Lock Screen

I have applied Trickdroid 8.0.0 to my HTC One, and then put the Nova Launcher on top of this.
I have applied the "Stock Jelly Bean" Icon Theme settings to Nova, so that when unlocked, I get these preferred icons.
However, the lockscreen is still running out of Sense UI, I guess, as the default HTC Icons are displayed.
Can I change this?
Additionally, can I alter the default apps on this lockscreen? i.e. I am trying out K-9 Mail instead of both the default HTC mail and Google's stock email, mainly because the latter 2 don't seem to render emails to show the full screen.
I am looking at trying Android Revolution HD as an alternative, that might give me this functionality. Perhaps someone could comment on this as well please?
Thanks
Natively, there is no way to change the lockscreen icons. BUT, there's an app called 'Unicon' in the Play store that lets you use Icon Packs system wide, even in the setting menu. So check that out!
As for changing the icons, the dock actually directly relates to it if you haven't noticed, so change the dock and you change the lockscreen apps.
I'm on ARHD, no special functionality here.
Good luck!

Thanks jikstah
I think there maybe a problem with the nova launcher with this as well... The lock screen displays the default set of icons (phone, messages, lock, Internet and camera) but home screen has my custom setup and I use some different apps for some of these too. Nova also has the ability for scrolling pages of the dock, which might be the cause to the problem?
I will look at unicon as well. Thanks for the tip...
Thanks again
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
The lockscreen uses the icons you have in the Sense dock to decide which icons to display. Nova is powerless.
I just turned off my lockscreen in the settings. It goes straight to nova. Also, I created a custom shortcut to Blink feed, so I get the best of both worlds!
thanks sauprankul
i think you might be right. i tried unicon, and same result.
it would be nice for this infinitely customizable android to be able to do this, while keeping the elements of sense i like (zoe's mainly)
so in your setup, you have zero lock screen items going on then? just rely on notifications instead? how does this occur with incoming calls? and alarms?
thanks
... and there is no alternative lock screen choice that can be made, when running sense? even from trick droid ROM, which still has sense capabilities but they are not turned on by default (i.e. i could do similar to you, and add it as a widget item if i wanted. i dont, btw...)
I have tried the tweak ROM / zip that is linked to the Trickdroid ROM, but reflashing this pack with different options does not seem to make a difference...
Lock screen is either stuck with default HTC Sense functionality or you have to 1st unlock the AOSP lock screen, then you will see the other lock screen underneath.
I am seriously disappointed with this lacking functionality. Taking the shine off all the other bits I'm enjoying about my switch to android...
