Hey
I recently got a OnePlus 3T, and i've certainly found out that i cannot change the Lockscreen Shortcuts (Or atleast haven't found out to)
Would be much appreciated if someone would be able to assist me on this, i would prefer to not root (at this time).
Thank You
Would I be able to use a different camera application? Instead of the one that default opens?
Thanks

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?
Hello everyone,
I just got my OPO and Im in the process of trying to customize it the way I want it. I know what i want to do but I haven't been able to figure out how to accomplish it despite searching. In simplest term I am looking for a more functional lock screen. A major priority is launching google now without unlocking the phone. I searched for Ok google anywhere, but only came up with aftermarket apps. I previously had some version of jellybean on my kindle where the lockscreen allowed me to choose between unlocking the phone, and launching google now. Is there something I can install or a similar rom for Kit Kat and the OPO?
So far I installed an app called Slidelock which displays messages and notifications on the lock screen iphone style. It works great but an option that lets me quick reply from there would be even better. I haven't come across such an app or setting. Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.

You can "call" Google now from any screen including the lock screen just:
Open Google Now
Settings
Voice
"Ok Goole" Detection
And select the options you want: From Anyscreen and From Lock Screen
Done.

For notifications. Try echo notifications
I think its much better then slidelock and nlis notifications. 100% free no ads
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app
echo replaces the lockscreen, which makes it a no no for me, but some people do like that.
Nils you can set up by changing to aosp lockscreen on the opo, (settings lockscreen, disable custom lockscreen) then adding the widget, moving widget to default position then swapping back to custom lockscreen in the lockscreen settings.
DashClock?
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....
Hey all,
So it's almost been 24 hours with the edge. All in all I love the phone. The design, and build quality are finally on par with what you would expect from a flagship device. Anyway, my problem seems to be a few quirks that I've noticed while trying to set up my new phone similarly to my s4.
So I use Nova Launcher because of the flexibility it offers me in it's features and customization. One of my more commonly used features is the gestures , with swiping down specifically set to expand my notifications. I don't seem to be able to use this feature at all with the edge and I'm wondering if this is a Touchwiz feature that is overriding nova?
The other problem I immediately noticed was that there was no longer an option for direct dial or direct message which I used all of the time! If there is anyone that may use nova with an edge that could help me out or maybe just verify that would be great.
Thanks all!

Direct dial works for me, but not the gesture associated with pulling down notifications - I'm having exactly the same issue you are with that. Just about all the other gestures work, but not for notification bar. I've tried doing other gestures to get the notification bar to pull down, but none of them work. Was a good feature I liked with Nova, but this is more of an issue with Nova that you / we can address with them directly I believe.
Yeah, my bad I should clarify that upon importing my nova settings to the new phone, my direct dial and direct message both worked but I was unable to add any new contacts with this feature.
I accidentally deleted my wife's direct message and had to import again to get it working properly.
You're right to contact the developers directly. Probably a feature that just needs tweaked for the next update. Thanks for helping me verify this though!

I am using the Nova Launcher Beta app and both features are working on the Galaxy S6 Edge. It asks for Accesibility permission to be able to Expand the Notifications but after you grant the permissions it works as expected. I also added a Contact shortcut to the Launcher correctly.
Hold tight for Nova to update the regular app or join the Beta program to enjoy those features now. I have not found anything bad with the Beta so far.

That's great!
Signed up, and downloaded the beta in a matter of minutes! As you said I was prompted to accept the ability to expand notification and now I feel like my phone is complete!
Thanks Pito!
Hi Guys,
do you know any possibility how i can create some sort of on/off toggle widget for a specific setting to add to my homescreen?
The specific situation i want to solve:
I started using my bicycle more often and use my p20 pro as Navigation System which i place in a Cellphone Holder with a plastic cover. Normally, im not showing any navigation bar on my phone and use the fingerprint scanner for home/switch/back buttons, but that does not work, since the phone has a plastic cover when its in the bicycle phone holder.
since i drive to work and home (plus some private cycling in the evening), i have to switch that setting at least 4 times a day :/
so, if anyone knows any tricks/apps/whatever that could help, please let me know, thanks in advance
p20pro CLT-L09 / no root / build 9.0.0.270(C432E5R1P9 / EMUI 9.0.0 / Android 9 / PIN 2737 lol
Greets
I keep thinking about trying NFC tags, but never got around to it. They sound like the ideal solution to your problem, if something like NFC Tools can write Huawei-specific settings like the navigation settings, that is. Maybe someone else can give more detail?
i believe there's plenty of widgets app available in playstore that will help you to do that. The most customisable would be tasker of course, but that need root.
