[Q] Entirely disable lockscreen? - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hello,
Like in the subject - Is there a way, to fully disable the system lockscreen?
I know theres "No Lock" in the market, but thats not what I'm asking. I mean, is it possible to disable LS in the phone configuration? For example, we can disable some apps on our minis by simply delete them, or modify they behavior (autostarts 4 example). So... maybe we could disable the lockscreen in some system config file. I'm aware that the lockscreen is mainly in framework-res, so maybe something there?
I'm asking because I love WidgetLocker, but it brings problems combined with other 3party apps. The system lockscreen is showing sometimes in strange situations.
I'll be very thankful for your thoughts.

[Q] Question regarding ADW Launcher

Does anyone know if and how you can use custom icon for Folders on the Home screen. I dont see and option for folder in the custom shortcut section. am i missing something or can it not be done?
I don't think it can be done by default, unless I'm also missing something. I use an app called FolderOrganizer. It's not bad but sometimes the folders are a little slow to open. Its nice that it lets you sort all your apps by labels though. And you can add custom labels and categories.
right,I had that same issue so I got apps organizer.
Organize them into whatever you want and place on home.
They are customizable just like ADW

[Q] ICS Lockscreen problems?

I seem to have a little issue with the lockscreen on ICS. I'm currently using the mainly stock, but rooted ICS rom. On the lockscreen, whenever i set it to any security lock other than "Slide," I can no longer see the music player or any notifications from the convenience of the lockscreen. On the Jellybean rom (CM10) I tried there was an option to 'Show Widgets on Lockscreen" which overcame this problem. Now I'm pretty sure Samsung in all their infinite wisdom could not have possibly programmed TouchWiz to do this lockscreen BS. Is there anyway I can set it to a more default ICS lockscreen look, where I can see notifications, and maybe have some shortcuts on the lockscreen?
Forget using that stupid pattern lockscreen. It will protect you about as much as a broken condom in Africa. Seriously there are only 362,880 patterns possible and any crap laptop could bruteforce that small of a number in no time at all. Besides if i steal your phone i don't care about your data, im just going to wipe the device from recovery and sell it. If its a girlfriend you need to keep out then there are ways of hiding everything incriminating using a few choice apps without locking the phone which ALWAYS makes girls suspicious.
But seriously, you either want your device locked or not. No one is going to make a security lockscreen that displays personal info. That's insane.

[Q] Some questions regarding custom Launcher

Hello,
I have started developing a custom launcher and i am in need of help/education. I want it to work like a sandbox, where user only has access to certain applications and is restricted from everything else. I have managed to get a launcher up and running with basic functionality, however i would like to add/edit more things to it:
1. Status Bar. I would like to create new, modify existing or even remove it. If i cannot remove it, can i at least disable it or make it invisible in all the applications? Where do i start? I have not found any information regarding customizing the status bar.
2. Lock screen. I would like to change this one as well. Is there any starting point where i could begin reading about modifying it?
3. Updating Launcher. Say if i install launcher from Google Play and i then want to update it, what will happen? Launcher updates and restarts? If i have 2 Launchers installed, will i see the second one will the first one restarts? Will i have to set default launcher again after update?
Note that solutions for rooted and unrooted devices fit to me so at least i know i can remove / disable the default launcher. I also fully understand that there is no way to restrict user from reflashing rom and such, but that is not a concern to me.

Z2 lock screen... shortcuts to apps?

Hey guys, I can figure out how to add widgets to different panes of the lock screen, although not very useful.
I can't help finding a way to add app shortcuts at the bottom alongside the camera app (or somewhere else). Any way to do so?
Cheer!
Not that i know of
If you know advanced java then i suggest decompile the lock screen and modify it

Ive been looking for this too. With the camera being in the top centre, it definitely looks like it has provisions for more shortcuts but just cant find the settings anywhere.
Besides using a 3rd party app, im hoping someone can shed some light on how to set it up (for non rooted phones)

Shelf, Any issues, customization's or mods?

Hi,
I recently upgraded to Oos Android 6 Marshmallow. I am enjoying the new Shelf feature which oneplus offers. I do have some questions though that I thought others would find useful if answered in a thread.
I know some people have mentioned shelf has a refresh issue, that it doesn't auto update widgets pinned to it, example: weather. Are any of you experiencing this, if so, is there any way to fix it?
For what I use shelf for, its pretty basic, and all I really need. I would however like to remove the recently used apps widget and attach a favorite app widget where I can pin the apps I want. Is there any way to customize shelf to pin the apps I select or to use a app pinning widget to show the apps i want(I couldn't find an app pinning widget on play store) on shelf?
Last question, Has any developer here played around with shelf, tried customizing it or added any needed features to it? If so I would be curious to know the changes you made or any releases.
Impossible to modify or tweak Shelf....
To change what is in the panel, you have to long press on it or on the icon to modify.
Then swipe left or right the widget you want to erase. (sorry not really precise, but don't have OOS anymore...)
On the 3.1.4 version, no problem with shelf for me.
But you should erase all "launcher 3"'s datas and reset it if you have some.

Thanks for the reply, Why is it impossible to tweak shelf?
I am on 3.1.4 and I haven't experienced any refresh issues yet, I was more curious if others were experiencing any. I know how to change the widgets and customize the panel, but like i said instead of recent apps I want favorite apps. Since shelf doesn't have this feature by default I assumed the best way would be to get a app from google play which allows you to pin apps to a widget on your home screen, then you could just use that widget in shelf. I haven't been able to find an app that does this though, If anyone knows of any, please post them in this thread.
It's too much inserated in the OnePlus system to be modified.
