Hi everyone, I know we can add shorcuts in the lockscreen in CM10, but I'm trying to get a shorcut to toggle between silent mode and normal mode, just as the stock lockscreen, but I can't find the right option, can someone help me do this?
Thanks in advance!

Didn't find it yet, will let you know if i do.
On a side note, anyone managed to get both the "standard" lockscreen (ie : with the unlock/camera shortcuts and so on) and the unlocking via pattern (ie : have the normal lockscreen who pops the pattern unlock once unlocked) ?
Didn't find a way to do that.

I think it's settings -> lock screen -> screen security -> show widgets before unlock.

Yes, I've read somewhere that that option in particular wasn't working, I've tested it and it worked fine

Rooh thanx a lot it works.
I hadn't put together the "displaying widgets" option and the "stock lock" activation.
Soo i guess i'll now have to search a bit more to get the mute/unmute widget on the lock screen (and get rid of that silly google shortcut on it ).
edit : after a few search and tests :
- we aren't the only ones trying to get a mute/unmute button on said lockscreen, but i didn't find a solution
- it seems pushing and maintaining pushed the two vol+/- buttons at lock screen makes the sound control panel appear and interactive (as a "poor" substitute for the mute/unmute widget on lock )
- the camera app button "works" in the way it start the app... but it still requires to unlock the lock screen and phone to get to it (at least in my tests ).

I've tried a lot of options from "activities" and it seems there's no option to do that
What I'm doing is to disable lock security and while locked I can still roll the notification bar down (when no pattern, pin or password set, of course) and toggle from the switcher on the notification bar... I still think that the lockscreen widget would be better though...
Thanks for searching too

I use Widget Locker by TeslaCoil. While it's a couple of dollars, it will give you whatever kind of lockscreen you want, and you set it to wake with any hardware button. You can also set it to unlock with a second press of a hardware button, or only a specific button (including the N1's capacitive buttons). I've got mine to wake with any button, and unlock with a custom on-screen slider.
Plus, I can put whatever I want on the lockscreen. If you want it too look like the default screen? You can do that. Widget it up? Perfectly fine. I also like the ability to make your own slider. I've got mine set so the left->right slider is unlock, and the other one launches the camera app, for those quick-or-you'll-miss-it shots.
I used to use MyLock (one of the free betas that was uploaded before the app was abandoned), but WL is more stable. Probably because you can pin it to the notification bar so Android won't kill it from time to time when it needs the memory. Or maybe because it's not beta code. I don't know, I'm not a dev, I only know the basic workings of the OS.
This sounds interesting.
But we still need something to lock the phone without using the power button.
I will purchase your suggested app and put Mixzing widget and the lock screen wigdet on it to search through music without unlocking the phone.
Thanks
If you put Widget Locker in your status bar (or launch it from app tray/homescreen, but for this purpose the status bar works better), you can go down and click it to put it in "Tool Mode" which is basically where you add all the widgets and such, as opposed to "Lock Mode" which can limit interaction (if you set it up that way). Neat trick is that you can go into the settings menu->Screen Timeout and select "Use Timeout in Tool Mode."
So you pull up WL in Tool Mode, it times out in 10 seconds, which puts the phone in lock mode, so you never have to touch the power button if you don't want to.
Neat little app eh?
..........
What if we need security a.k.a a pin code on the lockscreen?
Widgetlocker doesn't have a code system itself, so you slide to unlock then slide again then enter your pin. Pretty annoying.
Any way around this?
I recently updated to 2.3.5 from 2.2 and the unlock has changed. Before, the unlock screen had 2 options. Slide to unlock and slide to turn the sound off. Now it has 4 options, none of which is to turn the sound off which is the one I really need the most. I can't find any way to change this w/o installing a 3rd party app (which I'd like to avoid if at all possible). Does anyone know how to modify the unlock screen?
Thanks

Why do you have to change that on the lockscreen? Can't you just unlock it, and use the volume-down button?
Unlock screen
If I only needed to do it once a day, that would be fine but I am constantly going in and out of meetings and a single swipe is much more convenient than what you mention. I did do the following in the meantime (for anyone that cares)
1. added a shortcut to the volume settings on my home screen so I just go into that and silence the phone
2. I installed ZDbox which has an option to schedule the phone to go silent at certain times of the day/week. Pretty nice.
Would like to know in general, though, if the unlock screen can be changed.
Thanks.

For the life of me, I cannot find where the lock screen settinsg are on the SGS3. Anyone let me know?
Thanks!

Yes there are some lock screen settings there but in terms of changing what apps appear on the lockscreen and other type settings it appears that AT&T in their infinite wisdom has decided that's too many options to worry about. Don't want to confuse us users or anything.

Wow...so the reveiws I saw about adding/removing widgets to the lock screen is a moot point for us AT&T folks now...awesome.
How about modifying the apps that are available on the lock screen?
Maybe I'm blind or maybe someone smarter than me can figure it out but I think the only answer is we need root and maybe even need a custom rom to fix (I like to think of it as unbreak).

Also, this is where you can turn on an information ticker (news/ stocks only right now it appears), weather, and dual clocks for those who travel out of their time zone.

Is this on an AT&T branded S3? Cause I don't have any menu option "Shortcuts" on mine.
OK nevermind, I figured out why I can't see it. I had Swipe lock with secure lock checked off since I have secure lock turn on automatically every time I hit the power button. Didn't think there was any point in having to swipe twice, once on the dandelion and once on secure lock, but I do see occasionally see the lock screen when it times out without hitting power. Once I enabled swipe lock with secure lock Lock Screen Options went from a greyed out option (which I thought was a header) to a clickable one.

Thanks -that did it
It would be really cool if the camera shortcut would bypass the pattern unlock too. Either way, it is cool as soon as it unlocks the camera appears.
Has anyone tried the text shortcut where you bring the phone to your face and it calls them?

You can change the apps on the lock screen. Settings> security> lock screen options>shortcuts then follow the directions on the screen. I don't think you can have more than four apps on the lock screen, though.

It works from contact view, but it doesn't seem to work from Google Voice text, or messaging text. I'll keep messing with the settings to see if I can get it to work as in the european unboxing event.
2 questions:
1:
Is there a mod to remove the Emergency Call button from the lockscreen?
2:
Is there a mod to enable swipe before unlocking - ie: The lockscreen looks the same as if it had no security until it is swiped which then shows the pattern unlock screen?
This would usually enable lockscreen notifications / music player controls etc to be shown without having to unlock. The S3 had these mods..
If theres a way to do it manually, I could also give that a go I guess...

I have no button on my lockscreen for Emergency Call, regardless of whether it's active or not...? If you mean it's set as one of the shortcuts, you can change those to whatever you like.

This is what I mean. If you don't have this coming up i'd find that odd. It doesn't come up if you have lockscreen security disabled.
And following on from this - after pressing the power button, id like to have to swipe before this screen pops up

OK, that would be why then. I just have swipe to unlock.
Hi! I'm using C Lockscreen (found here on XDA) and Iwant to get rid of the "stock lockscreen" but Ididn't find how to do so.
I want to have the CLocker when not at home (wifi unlock, found how to set it) but when at home I want to open my phone directly on the home screen (no "slide to unlock")
Can you give me some advice, please?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Have you checked in the lockscreen settings, if you are able to set your phone to open directly (without unlocking)?
As far as I know, when you have a password/pin/pattern lock set up, you should have the option to unlock directly, without having the magazine unlock.
I've tried but without success. Now I've changed to Hi Locker and I've get rid of the Huawei's lockscreen. The funny part is that the settings are the same

Aah, then it must be app related. At least you found an alternative.
Unfortunately it seems tha the problem is not app related: from yesterday I've again the problem of the double lockscreen. TheHuawei's Lockscreen is apparently disabled (setting: None) but it refuse to stay quiet
Do you know if I can block the lockscreen from the settings without putting at risk the phone?
