ICS allows for an amazing feature to access the notifications in the status bar even when the phone is locked. Can this feature be somehow ported to GB?? It would be pretty useful, ryt?? :silly:

How's it useful? I have that 'feature' on stock ROM too, and i still have to see the point behind it, what good is locking the screen if it's not completely locked? Seems more like a flaw to me, I wish I could get rid of it
EDIT: Ok, apparently I had it with Go Locker, as soon as I removed it the feature disappeared too... So there's your answer. Check 'Go Locker' if you want access to the notification bar in lock screen.

Hello everyone,
I'm currently running MCCM SE 2.0 (miui customized ROM) with Hastarin 7.5 kernel. I had issues with the original kernels with freezing, so I switched. Now I'm having some more issues, but I'm tired of playing with this build, time for bigger and better (Hopefully more stable too!)
My question is this: MCCM 2.0 has quick links to enable/disable almost everything directly in the notification window (Wifi, APN, airplane, brightnes, etc.). I want a build that has this OR a way to plug this in an existing build. I've looked for apps that do it, but I'd rather have it integrated.
Thanks for your help, guys. This forum is much more helpful than others I've been in!
I'm not sure but the Sense builds should have a widget named energy control or something like that.

Yup, any build you can add a widget too you can add this to a home screen. Add a widget, choose Settings > Data Dashboard or Power Dashboard (on the new desire HD builds). Both of these combined give you almost complete control over the phone and it's functions. I don't think this is limited to the sense builds, I've seen loads of builds have these.
He is asking a different thing from the "power strip" or other widgets. In the MIUI roms you have those shortcuts NOT in the home screens but directly in the notification/status bar.

Yup I realise that but why have to pull down the notifications window when you can have it directly on the homescreen as a widget?

It's because I prefer a clutter-less environment. And considering it's one quick link bar instead of tons of random widgets... I mean it's all a question of taste, really. Many different options for many different people. I have apps on my main page I use frequently (With a few widgets) and the second page is a few more apps... All those shortcuts are practical in that scrolling notification window for me.
If anyone knows which files control the notification display menu, that'd be fine with me... I'll take it from there! I'm just trying to figure that out.
Thanks!
i am looking for exactly this. i know about poer management widget but i think the notification bar in miui builds is just awesome. i don't care about the rest of the skin so much. i would love to find out if there are any alternatives out there, as well.
Search in the market for QUICK SETTINGS

Download widget locker from market it has a variety of lockscreens and extras.
Mod the lockscreen without root? Nah... you root access to replace system files.

if you are not rooted, most probably you will see two lockscreens.
anyway, lockscreen alternatives are; widgetlocker, lockbot, lockit etc......
Does anyone know how to replace the standard lockscreen on a rooted stock 2.2?
I have Widget Locker but now and again the original screen pops up and it can be a bit of a pain sometimes.
Thanks.

in my opinion, the reason you see 2 lockscreens is because of android system 5 second rule. any lockscreen other than stock one, will have to wait 5 to initialize. however, in widget locker you can bypass this rule. turn on home helper option in behaviour, and make sure 5 sec bypass is checked. if it is unchecked, check it.
hope it will help.

This is an issue with htc sense roms. on aosp roms like cm6 or cm7, the original lock never shows up with the 5 second root bypass rule activated.
Try Lockbot Pro..it has a variety of Lock screens to choose from like Eclair style, iPhone, Froyo etc....it shows up only one lock screen though..and you ve an option to unlock the screen using any hardware button not just power button, nifty feature
For not visualizer 2 lockscreen you must use no lock
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.
Hey guys,
I'm using the AOSB 1.2.8 Kitkat 4.4.2 on my i9100G and firstly, I gotta say it's really nice!
I'm having some customizations issues tho...
for one, I didn't find how to increase the number of home screens. Is it capped at 3 with the launcher3 homescreen? can I have more if I use the google one? just need to switch and restart the phone then?
Secondly, I love that feature to access ur notifications and apps quickly from the lockscreen but sadly you can't combine this with any kind of security. I've tried pattern, PIN and so on, but then the lock screen features are gone. It's basically one or the other. any fix/trick on that?
and finally, a noob question but is there a way to get a notification upon the birthday of someone in your contact list?
thanks everyone for ur help,
wedgy
For your first question.. To add another screen you can try to drop an app to a non existent desktop and the launcher automatically creates another screen.
Or try Nova launcher, it's beautiful.

thx man, when you know it, it's kinda obvious, but so far I only wanted to add them to the left, and that didnt work... *blind*...
Hi, Im using dashclock on my lockscreen and ive got it maximised by default, and when a notification comes in I click it to open the notification and I have to enter my pin. That all works fine and im happy with that. The problem I have is when I dont have any notifications,I don't want dashclock to be maximised, I want to have my pin pattern there, I dont want to have to swipe up to open it. I don't know if there's anyway around this?
I suppose (and forgive me for this) im looking for something similar to the IOS lockscreen in terms of notifications and unlocking, but I dislike the idea of having a replacement lockscreen as I find they're slow and aren't smooth.
Im using Xperia Z2 (4.4) and im rooted.
