[Q] Disable homescreen customization - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

New member of this amazing site and community.
Also loving the HTC One - what a piece of hardware!
I was wondering if anyone knows how to disable entering the homescreen modification mode by longpress or pinch.
I keep getting there by mistake, and have also sent the default weather widget to the garbage can once or twice by accident.

[Q] Notification Bar Toggle Buttons

I think this is the best place to post this question, sorry if it's not.
Anyways, with the ROM's for the i897(Captivate) the notification drop down has the toggle buttons for Wi-Fi | Bluetooth | Silent | Vibration
For the I9000 ROM Silent is replaced by GPS.
Anyone know of a way to change which buttons show up?
I'd like to use an i897 ROM, but remove Silent and replace it with GPS.
+1 on that for me, too, its easy enough to go into silent mode with a long press on the power key, or by simply holding the volume down button.... a quick toggle for gps would be great!
+1 as well. Volume rocker on the phone is sufficient in silencing the device, I want a fast GPS on off switch. Perhaps this should be posted in the android development section?
Or a 2g/3g apn switch.

I would also like to add Vibrate to the Power Menu. I don't use Silent, always Vibrate, and I would prefer not having to unlock my phone to change that.

+1. Dont use bluetooth so the bluetooth switch is pointless for me. Would like a Rotation/Orientation switch... or even better (if it can be figured out) a switch to toggle between 2g and 3g
You could try the quick settings app. Long press the search key and you get fast access to all that **** son!

+1 on this however in the meantime...
I use power strip in conjunction with switchpro widget. Power strip is an app you can set to have your home button bring it up even from the lock screen if you have widget locker installed. This way you can access switchpro widget which you can customize to have whatever 7 (less if you'd like) toggles available for quick access without ever even having to unlock your device. I currently have mune set up as follows: Widget locker is installed which allows me to add widgets to my lock screen and have access to my notification bar without having to unlock the screen. Then I have power strip set as my default launcher and ADW is set as the default launcher through the settings in that app so hitting the home button goes to ADW by default (double tap on home brings up power strip) I'm all about pushing as few buttons as possible to access what I need quickly. Once someone figures out how to change the default toggles I probably will keep this set up because of the extreme functionality!
I have a similar arrangement but use QuickDesk rather than power strip. QD is activated by double-tapping home, and offers a 4x5 grid for widgets or icons - I have two switchpro widgets that can toggle nearly everything, and some extra categories for App Organizer that I don't use as often as the ones on the home screen.

QuickDesk is awesome! Thanks for letting me know.
I even got QuickDesk + WidgetLocker + ADW.Launcher to work perfect together.
however quite nice still quick desk might be, it would still be nice to have GPS on default slide down bar...
Any ideas...?
this thread would be better in the Development forum

The original widget toggle have the screen timeout values of 15s-30s-1m but not a never option..

You could try extended controls or switch pro, these are similar to the standard and adroid power control widgets but give loads more options. Bot are availabe in the market.

LG Lockscreen & Pattern

Hi guys,
It's very annoying to see that android isn't able (by default) to use the lockscreen and the lock pattern. The only one I saw so far is HTC. You can use the lockscreen and the pattern together. On the LG the lockscreen is gone if I select a lock pattern. Is this a line in a .xml file or something? Does anybody know that? If so, is anybody able to mod that?
You can use lockscreen apps.
You should post such stuff in general.
What is the point of having two lockscreens?
What are the downsides of only a pattern lockscreen?
I want to keep it as stock as possible. On other thing is, that I don't like only pattern. It doesn't show the same info as the normal one like music. I like the app widgetlocker. But sometimes it seems to lock a little bit later and the app is one of the biggest battery drainer I ever had. Anyway, I don't want to use any kind of third party apps!
use gesture unlock. cmsettings. lockscreen, and you can keep lockscreen or you can remove it.gesture unlock is far the best.
and hope you are on cm7

Stock has no double lockscreens.
You can use CM7 to show lockscreen music controls. It is in the CM settings.
HTC has 2 cause it has its sense interface.
There are some music apps which can do separate lockscreen controls as well.

[Q] Dashclock as lockscreen?

Call me Newbee (I am one, just got my Moto X as an upgrade for my loved Razr I), but i just cannot figure out: how can I make Dashclock my lockscreen -instead of the much praised Active Notifications (for me too little information)??
I can install Dashclock without problems, I can set it up as widget on my homescreen/ launcher, but I cannot find a way to install it as LOCKSCREEN instead of Active Notifications. If I turn ANs off, screen goes on with my pin lock (exchange company policy), and I cannot find a way to get Dashclock as my lockscreen.
Best friend Google did not help, neither browsing these threads for advice. Am I doing something wrong, or Dashclock lockscreen does not fit in Moto X?
Thanks for any help on this frustrating issue.
Swipe left on your lockscreen and hit the big + button. Then add the DashClock widget to it. Once you do that, long-press the DashClock Widget and move it to replace where the old clock used to be. By the way, Active Notifications an the Lockscreen are two different things. Play around with that first to see if you like how it works.
Thanks, solved. Just for info/ future learning; the problem was my company mail restriction, the pinlock combined with company restriction did not allow to swap/ install lockscreens.
After temporarely removing company policy I was able to install Dashclock w/o any problems; as You suggested Active Notifications AND Dashclock running together!
Thanks for advice.
PS: problem NOT solved.. Although I can change lockscreen to Dashclock when company policy is off, after turning my company mail account on (and restrictions on again) lockscreen goes back to default (clock) and cannot change it back to Dashclock (no swapping page possible)..
Very annoying, as I need my company post/agenda. Any ideas /workaround, other than rooting, please?

Question And FeedBack about Custom Stock Lollipop Lockscreen

Dear All,
I just published my first module on xPosed. Don't be hard with me if there are any trouble. However if you describe the bugs, I would be glad to solve it. I have done a few set of test on my Nexus 5 but it should works on any device with stock Android Lollipop. This module allows you to change the two shortcuts on the stock lockscreen.
You can use this thread if you have any question or feedback about the module.
PS: English is not my native language, please don't mind for the spelling & grammar mistakes.
UPDATE 12/03/2016:
A new module is available to do the same thing but on Marshmallow devices (HERE)
Changelog 2.1 :
-You can change the color of the ClockView, Icon Tint, ...
-You can resize the icons
Changelog 2.0 : (Due to deep changes, you may need to reinstall the app or reselect your shortcuts after update)
- You can now use « real android shortcuts » (like google maps route, voice recognition, inbox reminder,…)
- You can choose your icon directly from your gallery
- Improved some interface details (Better material design integration)
- Minor bug fixes.
Changelog 1.2 :
- Minor bug fixes.
- You can now activate or deactivate shortcuts
- Tablet support for the left shortcut (I do not have any tablet to test so I hope it works :\, just tell me if it’s not)
Changelog 1.1 :
- Improved some interface details and minor bug fixes.
- Bug about the camera preview when you launch a shortcut fixed
- You can now edit the text which appear when you hit a shortcut on the lockscreen
- You can now activate or deactivate the “natural white tint” of the icon shortcut on the lockscreen
-List of apps sort by alphabetical order
Works great on my HTC One M7 running CM12 and Xposed, thanks! Been looking for a way to do this.
Love how it changes the icons and makes them white. Have it set to whatsapp and chrome atm
Tried on my M7 too and it works
But I found that if I click on an icon instead of swiping the tip is in your language (I think..) like "balayer l'ecran vers la droite"

Thanks guys for feedback, I appreciate.
I know it is in french and I'm sorry about that. My first goal was to make a module as quickly as possible to change shortcuts on the lockscreen. However I work on an update which enable you to customize this text.
Works great on my m7 with gpe lollipop.
But would it be possible to add a option to choose a image or color instead of what can be seen on the attached pictures?
It's kinda odd to see the grey screen with a camera symbol while opening WhatsApp
Thanks alot, will definitely keep an eye on this!

Yeah I know that's really strange. OP can't you set it to be just like the left shortcut? The left shortcut (previously the phone shortcut) does not have this problem and it has a nice transition
I'm on it. I will try to publish an update before the end of the week-end
New update 1.1
Would you be able to add the ability to change the lockscreen wallpaper? There's no easy way to change just the wallpaper on the lockscreen, while having the main wallpaper be different.
Will be able to add a shortcut left from the tablet in the future?
Great job on this mod! I only want 1shortcut with the other shortcut set as NONE. Is there a way to do that? Thanks
It would be amazing if you could implement slim lock screen shortcuts :fingers-crossed:
Is it possible if you can make it able to change lockscreen clock as well?
Nice module, great work!!!
Would be nice if you can select a shortcut instead of an app, for example a shortcut to a tasker task.

Currently my workaround is to set my launcher (nova) as app for the shortcuts, so that after unlocking, it will go straight to the homescreen. Not a perfect solution, because unlocking still takes longer because of the app starting process (which also seems to take longer with this module if I choose the contact app compared to the stock setting with the contact app) :/
Funny, it seems most people here want LESS from the lockscreen, while I want more.
I don't know exactly how you would do it with the current setup, but I would love something akin to the lock ring targets found in 4.x roms. I loved being able to launch right into 5 or 6 programs right from the lockscreen. I've tried so, so many third party ones but none of them have the same ease of use or functionality that the stock one employs while also being a seamless experience.
With that being said, I would obviously love if someone were able to get more targets (an idea that I had was to start to pull up and THEN have the targets appear above or something, but I don't know how feasible this is)

I don't have a problem with shortcuts on the lockscreen, I just have a problem with the way they are implemented in Lollipop. For unlocking you have to swipe up, but I usually swipe kind of diagonal from down left to up right (seems to be a habit from kitkat and prior). That works like 90% of the time. In 10% I accidentally open the dialer, which is very annoying, since it costs time.
Thats why I want to kill the dialer shortcut
Now that you mention it I had that problem when I started to use Lollipop with that. At this point it's mostly resolved but every now and again I do end up going straight into an app
If you are using pin or pattern lock, every time you need to swipe up first to input the unlock pattern, is there a way to default to input pattern? And swipe down if I want to go back to the lock screen? I wish Google made the shortcuts optional....
