How can I add a shortcut to WhatsApp to my ICS lockscreen? When I try it I can add only a shortcut to one specific WhatsApp contact but not to the app in general.
I think I saw shortcuts to WhatsApp on several screenshots. Am I missing something?
I'm using EliteMod ICS (AOKP based) on a HTC Desire Z, but I highly doubt my problem is directly related to either of them.

Hi guys, is there any app that allows multiple pages for our lockscreen ? It's like having more than one page in a lockscreen so we can slide across the lockscreen for widgets and app shortcuts
Something like it would be LockGo, available on the Android Market

Are there other alternatives besides LockGo ? Many Thanks !
Hi there. I have a galaxy s3 since a mounth or two and i have a contact that i call 20 or 25 time per day.
I want to know if there is a HACK or a MOD to integrate a direct call shortcut to the original lockscreen of the S3.
Thanks
I'm not sure about a hack/mod for the stock lock screen - someone else will hopefully clue you in about that.
Failing that though you could replace the stock lock screen with Widgetlocker which will allow you to add custom shortcuts and widgets (such as a direct dial widget for instance) to the lock screen.

Thanks for your reply. Hope in next Version Samsung will include this option in the stock ROM

I know this is old topic but Samsung did no changes to solve the problem. I wanted to keep original lock screen and be able to launch shortcuts from it, so I wrote an app for it. Application can be mapped with any shortcut, so when you press app icon it works like pressing shortcut icon. Unfortunately there is no possibility to change app icons, so I put launcher icons with different numbers on it.
Application is called Shortcut Launcher. You can download it from Google Play.
And if you don't want to install stuff, you could just add a call contact widget on the homescreen, you would still have to unlock it but it's some steps quicker
You can also use the ROM SlimBean, it has the option to add widgets to the lockscreen
Hello, I just wanted to ask how do I create a shorcut on official JB? I had this feature on ICS but now I can't find the option anywhere to get settings shortcut to homescreen like wifi and bluetooth settings, battery,display,sound etc...also how do I show hidden apps in app drawer? The option to show hidden apps has disappeared...this official JB looks like a beta to me...I was looking forward to it but it has as many disadvantages as advantages...thanks for any tips
Here you are, settings shortcut from widgets and hide apps from drawer options .. simple as that

Hi all,
I'm not particularly sure I chose the right forum, but hey, maybe you can point me to the right place
I do have an Android 4.2.2 ROM on my phone, and I'd like to have a special widget on my lockscreen widget (it's an app displaying emergency info for paramedics, and as such intended to be shown on lockscreen). But so far I didn't manage to add it - either it takes the whole lockscreen and there's no romm for clock, wheather etc. or I can't display it on the primary lockscreen at all
My best shot so far seems to be DashClock, but among the numerous extensions I couldn't find one that displays any of the installed widgets which I could put on my homescreen.
Did I miss something? An extension? Or is there some generic way or a different lockscreen widget I could use?
Any hints appreciated
Hello, I want to use a different app than the one that is assigned to one of those shortcuts on the lockscreen but when I go through the list of possible apps there are just a few and not a single one that I would like to use.
For example, the lockscreen shortcut change option offers me only one dialer app to assign to the shortcut eventhough i use an entirely different one and there is no other apps browser, which would let me see/choose more apps.
Is there any way how to change the shortcut to whatever app I want?
Nevermind, found out how to do it. I had to re-install CM because of a different issue and now when I choose ,,Apps'' it finally shows me more apps I can choose from, that thing didn't do anything before.
