CM7 suggestion

Cyanogen should add a feature where if you press the battery icon in the notification bar, settings would come out for it in a windowed box belox the notification bar. Same for the time and if you had wifi on for example you could click it to go to the wifi settings page. That would be so awesome!

This would require a complete rewrite of fundamental android elements and would not be a task someone would most likely undertake.

You can do something similar to what you want if you use the notification power widget. You can add toggles for all sorts of setting that lie within your notification bar that are very easy to access. You can enable in in CM settings.
I don't see the tiny wifi or battery icons as being good shortcuts. If you really want to though, try submitting a feature request on the cm bugtracker. It will get noticed more there.

Not very finger friendly up in the corner imo

Lockscreen similar for QQ Launcher's or similar

Is there a way some could extract the lockscreen from QQ Launcher or recommend a lockscreen that is very similar to it? I tried to get some off the market but those never override the system lockscreens. I was hoping for a apk or even a zip for one.

I dont know what that lock screen is but i use menu lock which gives you 8 buttons. You pull the button over to open an app that you have assigned. I also use No Lock which is an app that keeps your phone from using its lock. Together it makes it to where the only lock i see is menu lock.
It is the best app i have of the over 100 i now have and the well over 500 i have tried.
Good luck.

Thanks for replying.... I forgot all about No Lock. I think I know how to get the lockscreen that I want.

Yup NoLock is great I use it to text at school and don't want an unlock screen lol

Well I think I spoke to soon. I can't disable the system's lockscreen. Even with No Lock enabled. I downloaded the QQ Launcher just for the lockscreen so that I could use it with Go Launcher. It works sometimes, but Im still getting my old system lockscreen. Its gotta be a way to disable the system lockscreen.

(Q) Changing lock screen text

Is there a way to change the life companion text?

Yes. It is in the lock screen settings.

Here's a easier way. On the lock screen that's a widget you can grab the bottom of it and you will see a edit button. I deleted the text. Their is just the clock widget as well from the locksceen settings but I like the clocks position better with the text but deleted the text.

Lockscreen widgets

So in the lockscreen before you draw the pattern or password, I have a digital clock. If you slide the screen to right or left you can add a widget of your choice but it only gives you a choice of like 5 widgets that are Google related. I couldn't find a way to add my own. Is there such a way? Thank you.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
By default apps have to declare lockscreen widget to show up in lockscreen widget picker. If you want all widgets then you will need a custom ROM (or some Xposed module, I believe).

[Q] How do I add a widget on the main lock screen

Using the latest Paranoid Android ROM and already downloaded the Chronus App. I AM able to add a widget in the LEFT lock screen but I could not figure out how to move this widget into the MAIN one, which has the time and date already built-in. Thanks for the help!

You need to swipe down on the time/date widget in order to maximize it, then tap and hold on the widget itself, a remove icon will appear.

Thank you. Got it now.
