Unlock screen shortcuts not working - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

When I choose one of my shortcut apps from lock screen it always goes to my home screen no matter which app I choose. Has anyone else experience this.
Sorry figured it out I was choosing it wrong

Are you dragging the shortcut into the ring, or just dragging ring up to unlock phone?

I was dragging the ring to the short cuts but figured it out its the other way around thanks

Stock Lockscreen Arrow Animation

So I noticed on the Stock Lockscreen (Safari Theme) whenever i hit the button where the time is displayed, small arrows on both sides of the screen animate to pull it down.
Well my questions is, if it would be possible to have that animation come up whenever i unlock the screen without having to touch the time bar......
Confused are you talking about the edit arrows that come up when you long press the time can you be a little more clear on what you want working on a lock screen app right now and can try to add what you need in it if I can figure out what it is you want

Oh I see what you mean now had to see it on my girls phone so do you want the lock bar there to or just the arrows? And is your phone rooted my app will require root

I would like the bar with the animated arrows right when you wake up the phone.
In other words so that the arrow animation plays without me having to touch the lock bar if that makes sense.

Sense 3.0 rotation feature...

Not sure everyone noticed but when sliding between the 7 home screens, if you slide it slowly with your finger, then you'll notice that the widgets are starting to pop out more. This effect is just like compiz for Linux.

That's pretty cool. I also noticed when on the homescreen with the weather widget, place a finger on top left of screen, and a finger on the bottom right of screen, then swipe left finger up at same time as right finger down, it brings up the screen where it shows all 7 screens.....hope you can follow that, haahaa!

The pinching in swiping that brings up all 7 screens can be done at any position and any screen, just start by having two fingers apart and pinch in then u get it. Cool thing with 3.0 is that you can slow motion this process.
I was hoping this would be a thread about how you had enabled landscape mode on the EVO 3d like on the flyer. Stupid that EVO 3d has this rotation locked

i was hoping this was a thread that had a way to disable the carousel when swiping fast..When i want to get to a screen fast the stupid thing spins..Dumb feature,cool at 1st yes but when it comes down to every day use the carousel is stupid.
I don't know about all that pinching stuff to get the 7 screens, its easier just to hit the home button when on the home screen. I don't know if this was on my EVO 4G, but i like when I'm using the browser, you can long press the return key and it brings up the history.
You can also see the gears on the side of the flip clock.

Is there a way to turn off the carousel effect? Especially at unlock, it's really annoying and actually detracts from performance.

Nope sorry. Just download spare parts and slow down the animations so it don't take off as much.

I've learned that the carousel will only go if you swipe over more than half the screen. As long as you do short swipes it works a lot better.

Screen Off When Slider Closed

I currently run a Epic 4g on sprint.
I am switching to a Sidekick 4g on tmobile.
On both of these devices iv always wanted an app to run a service in the background that would turn the screen off on the closing of the slider. So that to unlock the phone I press the slider open, then when I close the slider the phone turns the screen off and locks.
Seems simple.
Does anyone know of an app for this?
Could I pay someone to write the app?
It needs no UI, no anything.
When slider goes from open to close, screen off.
Any input?
***EDIT***
By slider i mean the slide out keyboard, just so there is no confusion
Questions should be asked in Q&A forums, not Development forums.
Thread moved.
Try Widget Locker, you might be able to set a slider to perform that function...

Any way to show notifications from the bottom up?

Coming from phones with smaller screens, I like to be able to drag down the notification bar enough to see who the email is from or what the notification is about, without having to pull it all the way down and back up. With the bigger screen on the EVO LTE, I'm wondering if there is a way to show the notifications starting at the bottom, so I can see them with only a slight pull on the bar, instead of having to drag all the way down.
Anyone know? Don't think it matters, but I'm on Meanrom 1.4 with S-Off.
THANKS
When CM9 or 10 is available to us you can enable tablet mode and it will place your notification bar on the bottom.

You can just flick the notification bar down, you don't have to drag it the full length of the screen. All it takes is about the width of the bar itself to send it down or back up. I know that's not an answer to your question, but it's an option.

Figure I'd bump this rather than start a new thread. I'd also love to be able to have the notification bar at the bottom of the screen, within easy reach of my thumb without requiring me to fumble with the phone. Is there any sort of standalone mod that will do this while I'm waiting for ParanoidAndroid to eventually (hopefully) make its way to the EVO LTE.
There is a WIP paranoid android ROM in the original development section. Works great and loving the ROM.

Well hey look at that! Thanks for the heads up -- I must've completely missed it.
You could also use a custom launcher and set the 1 finger pull-down to open the notification menu. Though trying to reach the settings and clear button are still impossible unless you have fingers like ET.

Yeah - I've already got it so that it pulls down with a quick swipe. My problem is the location of the Power Controls and the Clear button.
I tried PA on my phone but I didn't like the implementation; it's much better on my n7. Even at the biggest settings, the notification panel is just too small on the Evo.
All I really want is a perfect vertical mirror of the notification bar as it is now. In other words, still full screen, it just swipes upward and all the buttons are at the bottom of the screen. I'm actually a little surprised it's not an existing mod / feature, considering how many massive phones there are now and how many of us don't have spindly alien fingers.

Home screen randomness + vanishing icons.

Sometimes my home screen icons will randomly rearrange or totally vanish. However, when going into edit home screen mode they are still there. I've seen this on two HTC One's. Anyone else?
