CM10.1 nightlies - allow all widgets on lockscreen? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've seen people talk about some ROMs that allow you to place any widget on the lock screen. I've google searched, searched here, and not finding a way to do it. Is it built into CM 10.1 somewhere or is there something additional I can flash?

WidgetLocker Lockscreen is what you're looking for. Search for it in Google Play.

I've used widgetlocker for years. What I'm referring to is a hack for android 4.2 that allows all widgets on the lock screen. Paranoid Android has it built-in.

The location of the setting will depend on the Rom, I'm not sure if CM has it. For the Xylon Rom, for example, its under: settings->xy settings->lockscreen->allow all widgets

I don't think CM has it built-in, does anyone know of a flashable zip to add this?

This is not for using just lockscreen widgets, it's for using any widget as a lockscreen widget. Only certain apps have specific widgets installed to work with the lockscren, you can't add any widget you want.
I'm still looking for a mod to flash under CM 10.2 nightly. Anybody has found anything?

CyanogenMod already have that ability, you just have to enable it, I believe it's under Settings -> Lockscreen or something like that.

Nope it doesn't and there's a feature request for it under their tracker but no progress on it at all. Only Paranoid has an option to put any widget at the lockscreen. I wouldn't have posted the comment without checking. If you have found the settings somewhere that for some reason I didn't see, please do let me know after trying them yourself.

[Q] Browser Quick controls / labs

First I had a transformer, the stock browser had an option for quick controls in the labs section under settings, but the galaxy tab doesn't have the lab settings at all. Has anyone found a way to enable them? I really miss the full screen feature and I don't want to use a third party browser.
Personally, I am a big fan of dolphin, but I think I you enable debugging, you will get more options.

Anyone? I see no reason for Samsung to cripple the browser
Go to the app section here. Someone has posted the browser apk.
That said I have no idea why it's not on here by default.

[Q] keyboard and widgets issue on CM 7.2

1. I set thumb keyboard as default keyboard but after restarting nook color the keyboard defaults to stock one. I tried swiftkey but having same problem. Please help, it is very annoying it select the keyboard everytime I reboot the device.
2. Another prob is I cannot get some widgets working.They install correctly but do not show up in the add widget menu. Btw, I currently use nemus launcher.
Few widgets that don't work are sense analog by factory widgets, minimalist text widget, and a few other battery level indicatiing widgets.
Is it only me or anyone else having the problem?
I am running cm 7.2 from sd.
No rep
At least someone tell me if minimalist text widget or sense analog is working on cm 7.2 or not?
So that i can consider reinstalling the rom or try another rom.

First thing I would try is using a different launcher... see if that is your issue... I'm sure not many use the launcher you are, so it is hard for us to provide feedback/information.

I personally don't use any of those widgets... but I know others use minimilistic text without issue... you might want to fix permissions before you resort to a clean install.
Thanks I will try it

You probably have those Widgets installed to SD. Widgets do not work if installed to SD. Go to settings, applications, manage applications, and choose the app and see if on SD. If it is, choose move to phone.
You might see if those keyboards are also on SD.

I suggest you install CM10 Beta. It is far superior to 7.2 now. I'm using SwiftKey and can report excellent performance. My signature shows my Nook's configuration.

Thanks leapinlar it worked after moving it to phone.
Do I have to do this every time? Or is there any way to make apps to install on phone by default.

Rocket Dock.: http://rocketdock.com/
Edit: It's not on Metro UI per se, it's on desktop. Don't know what to tell you if you're looking for one for the start screen.

I hope that, as time goes on, we see alot more programs which let us do customization like what yyou're looking for. I would still check out Rocket Dock though, I find it quite handy.

[Q] FullScreen Toggle ?!

Hey Guys,
I'm new to android and still a noob ... so I need your help with smthng.
I've been looking for how to remove Nav Bar in Nexus 4 and the application that is mostly used is "Fullscreen Toggle" ... and it's said that it would work without custom ROM but it didn't work for me ... did it work for any one without Rooting or do I have to Root my Nexus ??
and if there's another way to remove the nav bar without Rooting plz tell me
Thnx
I searched "fullscreen toggle" on Google play, and found only one app in the search results. That apps description states that a custom ROM is required. So yes, you need root to use that app.

actually the one on the play store isn't the one I'm talking about ... it's that one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497558
and it's not on Google Play !!
Okay so that thread is labeled "DoubleX" not fullscreen toggle. After reading through quite a bit of it, it seems you need root. You could try using Nova launcher. I think there is an option to disable or hide the navbar. then you can set up gestures to navigate. Also see LMT launcher here on XDA. I don't know if it requires root though.
Expanded desktop is what you want. I know you said no custom ROMs, but it might help you in your search.

Like the people said above.. Try and see if a launcher works out... If that doesn't work try a custom ROM like PA ROM I believe ... Best of luck

How to disable user apps in Marshmallow?

Pretty much as the title says. In Marshmallow, I simply can't find how to disable a user app, I can only see how to disable system apps.
Am I missing something? Please tell me they have not removed this as a feature.
I've tried searching, but to my surprise haven't been able to find anyone else discussing this issue.
You can freeze then with titanium or uninstall them.
There's no disabling *user* apps in the first place - it's meant for system apps only.

Why should I disable user apps when I can uninstall them?

because some apps share libraries and if you uninstalle certain apps other apps won't work or even FC's all around can occur. exactly one of those scenarios where users blame roms and kernels with simple statements like: "this" or "that" doesn't work, please fix it.
from the tone in your question i can well imagine that that's a bulls eye here. if you don't know, don't think those who do are doing things for no reason, perhaps they simply know better.
I am not sure if you got me right or if I get you.
Yes, I had this tone because if you install an app - and that would be my definition of an user app - you can simply deinstall it if you don't need it anymore and nothing will happen except loosing the app data.
Of course nobody should freeze or even deinstall any system app if you don't know what that will or could cause, but in my understanding that was not the question.
I have entune for my toyota installed, i dont want to have to re sign in and redownload the app everytime i drive that car. I used to be able to disable the app when i didn't need it. Now that option isnt there. Same goes for peel remote. I dont always need it running, just when im at the bar and want to change channels
Has this option really been removed? That would be a big step backwards imho.
