I tried using a google search, but all I found is that it is not possbile, without root anyways, to add widgets to the lockscreen. I find this a bit sad because I prefer to keep a pattern on my phone so my friends dont run through my photos and change languages on my phone. Is there a way to add widgets to the lockscreen while maintaining the security pattern?

I was wondering this myself as all i want to add is the email widget to the left.
If you still have the clock on the lockscreen swipe to the left and it should reveal another page. Tap the plus sign to add a widget page.
Edit: just got this device; sorry I didn't relize after adding lockscreen security it took the other pages away

I have a Verizon Galaxy S4 and am running the stock ROM with Action Launcher Pro. I'd like to change the icons of my lock screen shortcuts, but haven't found out how to do this. Is it possible to do this with a stock ROM (or could you link me to a ROM/lock screen that has this feature)? You can see the problem in the images I attached. My launcher uses the stark icon pack, but the lock screen doesn't recognize this. Thanks for all the help
Are you rooted? If so then you could use icon themer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40603494

Hi team,
Stumbled across this on the xda homepage and must say I love it, I just have a few questions, I know it's still in beta so a few of these may already be in the works anyway.
How do I back up my settings? If they are stored in the cloud any plans of being able to back up to my device? I'm not a fan of clouds, I like to be responsible for as much as my own data as possible
Will you be adding the ability to import settings/catagories/folders etc from other launchers such as nova?
Is it or will it be possible to have folders within categories? Lazy question I know lol
Would it be possible to make it so you can hide apps from the main apps tab but show in a selected category? I understand this may not be possible or too awkward to implement
Any chance of adding a feature that allows you to have a hidden category that could be accessed by say a gesture? This would be really cool
Can home screens be reordered? I know I can just drag everything to another page and set it as default but an option to reorder would be more convenient
I had a few more questions but they elude me right now so will ask if or when I remember haha
Anyway keep up the good work, this is already better than most other launchers and I'm sure in the future this will blow all others out the water

Hi!
Settings can't be backed up just yet, we might look into this in the future.
You can import favorite apps from another launcher by going into your favorites and selecting - Import from launcher.
Folders within categories, probably not, but we'll speak to the team
Hiding apps from the app drawer and only shown in certain categories - good idea - we'll also pass this onto the team.
For hidden categories, you can always create a custom category, then just deselect it in the categories list. However adding a gesture might be very tricky.
Homescreen reordering will arrive soon
Thanks for your contributions, if you think of any more just ask
Great thanks for that

Are the widgets in themer created from Zooper?

Almost of the new themes are created in a Zooper hybrid (Themer Zooper Widget). It works/looks exactly the same, however Play Store themes as yet can't be loaded. Older themes and some new themes use Everything Widget, which also has its pro's and con's.
How/where can I get one? I need it on my home screen. I have XtroLite 1.2.2. The BT widget should open the BT settings. Thank you.

Not the place to post questions. How about Playstore. Bluetooth Widget....
I don't agree with you. This is the the theming and apps forum for GS S5. A widget is part of a theme or an app so I do consider that this is the right place. Anyways, thank you. I found in the Play store what I needed.
Moderators, if you find my post not appropriate for this forum please move it or delete it. Thank you.

Sorry you don't agree. But again...in any case a lot of useless posts being posted in lieu of using Google...your best friend or simply search the Forum posts. My 2c. Happy to have helped.
With all due respect for the fact that you have 10 times more posts than me and without rambling about the free internet and expression I'm going to say only that. This is a moderated forum and would be nice if only moderators can judge and act if this is a useless post or not.
By the way do you know how to resize a widget which is fixed and Nova cannot resize it. It is labeled as 1x1 but it way bigger than the other widgets (playstore - widget bluetooth by greenlos).
Thanks and have a good one.

I'm not here to judge. I'm here to help. Let's start over. The KISS method. Keep it simple (I won't say the last, since it wasn't intended)
Instead of a widget per se, how about a shortcut. Go to your widgets and look at settings shortcuts and simply create a shortcut to Bluetooth. That should work. That should give you the same size as all your icons I would think. I use this method a lot, such as direct message or direct phone call shortcuts to certain contacts I want immediate access to, instead of opening a phone app or a message app. In nova, you can drag down to the dock too. Hope that helps.....Sorry again if you took my posts the wrong way. Not here to judge.
No worries. I didn't take it personally. We're all good.
Well the KISS method didn't work. The Bluetooth Widget from Playstore installed as a widget. I cannot find it in the apps drawer nor in the shortcuts list. It is only available through the widgets list. This widget has a double function which I like it. One tap turns on/off BT and double tab enters the settings for BT but unfortunately it is double in size than the others and it looks really ugly. Nova does not give me the option to edit it so I cannot change the icon with another one. I may have to look for another option.
Thanks for your help.

You misunderstand what I suggested. Let me open Nove and give you step by step. IOW...you don't have to use the Playstore widget. You use a direct shortcut setting instead.
EDIT: I have Nova Prime, but the XNote ROM is acting weird. I can use TW launcher, create a shortcut looking at the widget selections to Settings:Bluetooth and that works. IOW go to the settings choice and then all the various settings choices open up. Choose BT and then you have a direct shortcut to BT on your desktop. Yeah it's nice the single tap vs double tap the playstore app gave you, but you can't resize the 1x1 unless you get into editing the widget itself, and I won't go there here. But with Nova, you long press the screen and choose shorcuts, then settings then BT and I get app isn't installed? Weird.
I didn't.
If I can find a shortcut to the BT settings would be great but I tried and got permission denied.
The reason why I'm looking for this kind of widget with double function is that I have all the time BT devices around me (10-15 all in total). They're everywhere and accessing through settings takes one more click and I also have the problem that I don't associate visually the settings icon right away with BT so I'm going all over the place for it.
You're right though. Finding a way to place a shortcut on the home screen is easier than modifying the apps icon size and shape.
Another solution would be if i can find a way to create a shortcut for the BT quick setting.

Touch wiz launcher lets me do this. Nova doesn't and Holo doesn't. Try what I say to see. In settings change default launcher back to Touch Wiz. Then scroll the widgets for settings. Open that up and create a desktop BT shortcut. You should see all your devices simply opening that up. I don't know why the other launchers are creating havoc. Guess it's a Kit Kat thing. Don't know.
Edit: Hang on...I think I May have a fix., It is a KK thing that google messed around with permissions. Testing something.....
Thank you. We'll do.

Didn't work. I have some urgent stuff I need to get too. All I know is prior to 4.4 this wouldn't be an issue, in the reading I have done. I thought I found something that would allow to edit the permissions to run called com.findsdk.apppermission on Playstore. But looking at that I could not find anything to actually go from off to on(allow). So that said, it's either 1. a larger widget. or 2. Touchwiz launcher that allows a BT shortcut. If I think of anything, I'll try to get back. I even hoped it would be a SU (superuser) easy fix...but nope. Anyway...I don't like being beaten by an issue such as this...so I will keep it on the backburner.....:good:
No problem.Thank you again.

Ok this isn't exactly about flashing ROMs or anything but an app. I would like to mod this app for personal use. It is a lockscreen app (the one from L that was taken down from the Play Store) and for some reason it disables the default lockscreen and does not provide a way to have some sort of security measure (pattern, password, PIN, etc..). Is there any way for me to add the ability to create a security pattern? If you need the apk here is the post that has the link. Also if there is another thread in which I can post this in feel free to tell me and I will post this there as well.
Please keep in mind that I'm kind of new to app development but I am familiar with it's general layout.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
There are some themes I love and I would like to use, but some details doesn't seem good to me, such as shortcuts. Is there any way to modify those shortcuts in order to make mine, but keep using the particular theme ? I didn't find anything about this...
Thanks for your help

Hi,
Editing a theme is easy - simply long press on the homescreen - select Advanced - Unlock Widgets. Now you can add/remove widgets and shortcuts till your hearts content. Then when you are satisfied with your theme repeat the process to lock the items into place

Awesome, thanks ! I was looking for this during hours... Didn't find anything on the Themer website :/
Another question, I have sometimes a pop-up with "crash data failed to send, retry later", but I can't find where to send it, and the pop-up doesn't disappear... I have to uninstall-reinstall the app in order to fix that... I have a One Plus One on CyanogenMod 11 38R
Semi related question, is there anywhere I can download images of the standard icons you use for smart categories? I like a lot of themes but would like to change the categories on them and to do that need the images to match the theme.
Thanks
