Ok, so on my stock lockscreen, you can slide in any direction to unlock, but it looks like there should be places for other shortcuts, like email or phone icons, but I cannot find a setting for it anywhere.
Am I missing something? Do I need an app to do this?
I am running the latest 4.2 jelly bean, no root.

There is nothing stock that does it. As for an app, there's holo locker, but you might lose the widget functionality. You could also look into new Roms.

Is there a mod out there to add this feature to any rom? Or is it a simple framework modification?

You could edit the framework. I'm not sure what exactly you have to change. I do know how to change the slider icon though.

Yes.
Get the ROM, find for framework-res.apk, decompile it, grab the navbar pngs, transfer it to your phone, get an app called softkeyz from the themes and app section and apply it.
Wallpaper should be in framework-res too.

What will happen if I will replace the entire framework-res.apk ?
It will likely boot loop as many of the dependencies from the paranoid framework won't be in the other one

First off.....what rom are you on? Stock TW, AOSP, etc?
Obviously if you are running a custom launcher like Apex or Nova you can just download theme packs from Play store and apply via launcher settings. If running stock TW or AOSP you can install Xposed framework from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 Then get Icon Themer from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2246783 Then just download some icon packs from Play store and apply via Icon Themer.
i found this thread about icon set

Hey if someone could link me to theme chooser, that'd be awesome. I'm talking about the CM one. Also, what would be the necessary build.prop tweaks that would make it work?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I don't believe you would be able to get it to work without the CM framework and system files. It would take more than a simple build prop tweak to get it to work if at all. Unless you want to build CM from source you're only other option is to flash CM to use theme chooser.

You can extract the apk from a downloaded version of CM using 7zip if you really want the apk. You can install it but it won't do anything without the framework to support it. Some of the custom launchers have themes you can download from the playstore that might be an option for you if you want a new theme. I would browse in the theme section for advice.

Sorry I'm a noob but is there a way to incorporate the CM framework into my ROM? (Are you talking about framework-res.apk? If so, can I use that on the JWR ROMs?)

Its been over 2 years since I built or modified a ROM but its not as simple as just dragging and dropping framework-res and systemui versions you want into a ROM. There may be other custom ROM's out there with theme chooser if the dev used CM source to build his ROM but tehn why not just use CM? The easiest way I know of to theme a phone is to use a custom launcher and choose a theme off the play store or use an app like UCCW and again look for themes for it in the playstore. UCCW (ultimate custom clock widget) isn't the most user friendly app but it gets the job done. And make sure you back up your phone before making any changes using launchers or theme apps for if they modify systemui.apk or framework-res.apk in any way those changes can't be easily reversed. Always have a backup of your stock ROM.
One of the things I was looking forward to trying when I got the 4.4.2 update was the KitKat Dialer from Nexus 5. I have used it with custom 4.4 Roms in the past and really liked it. One of the first things I tried when I updated to 4.4.2 was to sideload the .apk. That did not work and just kept FC. I rooted and flasked the .zip, same results. Anyone know of a work around or a way to get this to work?
Try the flashable zip from ParanoidAndroid it's listed on their gapps page as an add on. It works on CarbonRom.

Thanks for the suggestion but that is the zip file I flashed from recovery.
I'm having the same issue (FC when opening Google Dialer after flashing the zip). I'm very interested in a solution to this. Hopefully someone has an idea.
I don't think those will work because they seem to be for AOSP. Use on TW would require some modding.

That's kind of what I figured, but the article referenced the S4 specifically. Don't all S4s have touchwiz?

That is what I was afraid of. Maybe there will be something down the road. Man you are everywhere on here. Thanks for all you do on this forum! Just curious though, do you ever sleep?

Yes all do , except for the Google edition. It had TW framework but even using TW apps like the Samsung camera apk took a lot of modding to work.

That'd be awesome if someone could get the legit KitKat dialer to work on 4.4.2 TW ROMs!

I guess I'm in the minority but I actually like TW dialer better. . It's prettier & more functional for me. The dialer screen is one of the uglier screens on my Nexus 5, IMHO. I really don't like the blue on black look.
I did all those possible things to make this lovely mod from miui ROM ultimate dynamic navbar to be able to work (remove qemu.prop in build prop.download framework,install uninstall the ROM allover again and again.,install mitools,install the lite version,I try flashing the old vers of miui maybe I thought its not compatible with the latest build yet,any suggestion but it seems that this thing really is not working in my nexus 4,but why only me?I saw others posts that they had this to work but every time I enabled it and tap the home button,nothing was showing in my home screen,I even tried different ways activating it with gesture but it only works only in the app itself..BTW,I had my nexus 4 in kitkat before but installed 4.2 kernels and flash custom Miui version 4.3.7..did I miss anything?
Here r some screenies..any help would be gladly appreciated..I hate eating up space on this stock navbar and mipop as well..dynamic navbar mod works but hate how it look likes..
1st pic: tools requires me with this mod
2nd pic showing that it only shows the app itself not after all when press home
