On mine, there's an entry between "Sperrbildschirm-widgets" and "Effekt für Entsperren"...
Did you restore system apps with Titanium Backup? If that's the case, it's most probably the reason why you've lost this entry...

i didnt resotred it with titanum backup. i just logged into my google account and google restored my apps automatically. thats it.
i dont understand why i dont have that "shortcut" entry in the lockscreen setting. very very strange.I am on UAMDM.
any ideas how i can fix this ?

Also missing from my Australian i9505 UAMDE
Anyone have any idea how to turn it on??

After flashed the slim rom I did a factory reset. Then I found that the option for lock screen shortcut disapeared. But before the factory reset the option was there.

UBMEA also does not have the feature. German rom, also official. On my ME2 firmware had no problem. . I want it back

How to change items in down bar

Hi guys,
How can I change Quick links from down bar from my Touch Cruise? By default there is calendar and contacts and i would like replace calendar with Action Screen.
use this... should do the trick
thanks, I will try that
I have a Samsung i760. I have tried all sorts of programs including this one without any luck. Is it possible that Samsung has locked the phone that good that I am not able to change the bottom buttons????
Anyone have any idea. I tried to extract the softkey.exe file from the rom. I got it to my computer but am unable to disassemble the .exe file due to it not being a Windows32 file?????
I am completely stuck. Any input would be great.

Yes, now it is as supposed, thanks!!
Nope doesn't work. Neither the download or the website faq. I tried everything. For some reason Samsung or Verizon had really put a good lock on this right button. I am able to change the left button but not the right.
Im going to keep tinkering with it and hopefully.

How to get back the original TF3D Backgrounds

Hi guys
I used a modification to get backgrounds in all tabs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2869354&postcount=571
In the beginning everything seemed fine until I saw something strange in some undertabs like for exemple the tab, where you can see all the installed programs (this long list with the white background).
Now on my phone the background is white in this section, but not entirely. In the upper part of the screen there is like a bar in the background in which you can see the background witch is installed in all other tabs. Dont know how to explain.
Best would be to send you an image of it but how? How can I make a image of the phone?
Hope someone knows how to reset the background to default or to solve my problem. Perhaps someone could post here the original manila files (at least the 5c9aa261_manila and 4a087e41_manila ones).
edit: when I delete the file "4a087e41_manila" I get all tab backgrounds white. Perhaps its a good hint for the solution.
Thanks in advance.

There is always the hard reset option which definitely would bring it back.
Hehe, yes I know, but like you already figured out it is the last option for me
I first want to know if there is a quicker (peerhaps also harder) way to get it right.
Only for curiosity: How is the hard reset performed on the Touch HD?
Should have made a backup before installing anything new .if u dun like sumthing that cannot be simply removed from remove program list than a hard reset and restore always work..i learnt that the hard way though
Well in fact I did make a backup of the 5c9aa261_manila file. The problem is, that also when I replace the file with the original one the problem arises. And when I delete the 4a087e41_manila file (which is not part of the original system, only needed when using the modified 5c9aa261_manila file) then I get all white backgrounds, like mentioned above.
Couldnt someone post the original 5c9aa261_manila file here? (only people who didnt do changes of backgrounds til now). Would be great.

AFAIK that really doesn't matter, since it does not depend on any language pack and is the same for all language versions.
Oh and while I am at it I might as well help you out LOL
Here it is, 5c9aa261_manila, it's from the WWE rom... haven't changed a single _manila file yet, and the ROM is still stock... So I guess it is 100% identical to what you had on there before switching background mode.
Also ALWAYS keep a copy of ALL _manila files before using manila customizer...
Have fun!

Thanks to nin2thevoid and also to you the offered help!
Btw. you will find the file in the windows folder on your device (not SDcard).

I also had to restore the black background. Expecially in the music tab i could not read all the tracks and it was annoying. Still... it was nice to have a background in a certain tab. Is there possible, for example to have a background in "home" and the same (or another) in "weather"?
all i did was delete the 4a087e41_manila file and the modified 5c9aa261_manila file, and then the ROM version of 5c9aa261_manila reappeared. I then soft reset my HD and i had the original background file again.

Pls help! Sth wrong with my phone.

recently, i havent been able to install themes downloaded from this forum successfully.
One of the theme i tried is anastasia and dinik theme. My whole clock is missing! icons missing on my home page. My slider( home page) cant moved. The only thing on my home page now is the weather. Now there is 'Title' word on the middle of my home page permanently too. somehow bits of my old theme is on my home page as well. Which weird because i deleted the old theme thru Device>Windows>Appmgr.
This happened before when i used another theme.clock, icon missing.
And now my phone doesnt go to lock screen anymore. I didnt change the settings at all.
My rom version is 1.48.
Pls help i've been having this prob for weeks alrdy. Thanks!
back up and hard reset would be my suggestion.
Oh no! Would u tell what caused this prob ? so that i wont repeat the same mistake again.
And hard reset-> my phone contacts gone too? how do i back up?
sorry for the trouble thanks.
you have probably installed a theme/tweak or mod that is incompatible with the version of either manila or windows that your device is running.
tons of methods to back up.personally all I do is sync my contacts with outlook.thats all I back up.
PHP:
But why doesnt my phone theme not return to the original theme even if i delete the downloaded theme?
Why is that even if i deleted a downloaded icon file or theme, it still remains in the display on my phone page?
sry asking so many qns.
When you install new mods and themes it quite often overwrites the existing files that you would consider the "original theme". So uninstalling does not bring the old files back - it just deletes the new ones.
As samsamuel says, a hard reset is probably your best bet.
Incidentally, whenever your lockscreen doesn't appear when you lock the phone, or when you can't open emails by clicking the preview in the email tab, go to start and then lock (bottom left menu option). That fixes that problem temporarily. The only permanent fix I know for that is a ROM upgrade, as 1.48 is oooooooooold now!
Kill 2 birds with 1 stone and just flash a new ROM.
it could be that the theme is badly written and just overwrites files that then cannot be restored, or the theme wasn't for your system so it's messed the registry, who knows? not me!
Oh. Thanks alot guys!
your help is greatly appreciated!

Problem Lockscreen -HTC HD2

Hello to everyone
I have a device HTC HD2 installed by a program to change the shape of the lock did not I like and delete the program and become a problem for me, did not return a default lock
The default form of lock
This form of the lock after the problem
Thank you
what about cookies home tab?
must have for sense-users
does already include a lockscreen.
DN41
The problem is not of cookies home tab
Is There a Solution?
hai
the lockscreen u have now was the standard lockscreen for winmo 6.1 and earlier...
just install another new lockscreen will fix it, if u search u will find the standard wm 6.5 lockscreen too around here
EDIT: btw, the problem is because the lockscreen u installed has overwritten the original lockscreen files. when u uninstall the lockscren files then, u will loose the whole lockscreen and it will set it back to the standard one from 6.1...
i didnt mean that the problem is caused by cht..
i mean, that the problem could be solved by cht, cause it includes 3 different lockscreens.
DN41
I tried many have failed any way

as much as i know the cht lockscreen lies over the system lockscreen.. thats why u have to disable the system lockscreen first before enabling cht lockscreen or u have a double lock^.^ probably this changed with the last version of cht, not using sense anymore >.<!
to the OP:
search a default lockscreen cab on the forums, i bet u find something, this will fix ur problem i think
EDIT: did the work for u go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=678628 and download the "original lockscreen", install it and tell us again if it worked

that should have solved the problem Oo
how did u delete the other lockscreen? deinstalled it or just deleted?
probably install it again, just to see if thats working
Installation is naturally been the deletion of the application to delete programs
Then it became a problem was to reinstall the program itself did not solve the problem
maybe try starting from the very beginning, in step-by-step manner:
1. Install the Livven Lockscreen
2. soft reset
3. Uninstall the Livven Lockscreen
4. soft reset
5. install the original locksreen
6. soft reset
if this does not work I'm out of ideas :-(

I feel your pain, good luck,
to avoid such misfortune in the future, consider investing in good backup app (SPB, Sprite or Resco Backup), it's much easier and faster way to restore the whole system when something goes wrong

using mobile data with international sim card

Hi,
So I'm abroad right now with my unlocked sprint s4. I can use the sim card to call and sms without any problem, but I don't have access to data, eventhough my plan includes it!
also,when going to system update-->uicc unlock, it says:"mobile data not available"....what does it mean? How can I resolve it and define my apn settings???
This is so annoying for such an expensive device and a "world" one!
Please help....
Thanks!

My phone is rooted...the question is: do I have to flash a customized rom over the stock rom in order to gain access to this option? In the stock rom sprint/Samsung eliminated this option, you can't change the apn manually!
I'd really appreciate if you can help or if someone knows if a customized stock (also recommend which one is better) can get/let me access these apn settings.
Thanks!

Hi,
Had the exact same issue and got it fixed ..
here is how..
if your phone is already rooted..
open play store :
Download any APN database (i use HiAPN ) .. install
use titanium back up(PRO) to make that a system app.
if PRO version not available use root explorer to move the .apk to system/data..
Restart Phone.. SU will pop-up allow .. and Voila!!!
First post helping someone .. please do let me know how it goes ..

Hi,
I'm going to try it now, but didn't completely understand: Can I do it over the stock sprint rom? I prefer to leave it as is right now, and not add/replace with a customized rom...
Where do I find this apn database? Can I edit it with my local carrier apn settings?
Also, How do I use the titanium backup app to make the apn database to an app?
Isn't the HiAPN an app to begin with?
Also, Do you have the "sprint" s4 as well?
will this work with any apn tweaking program or database?
Thanks!

'm just getting this annoying message and can't dial any "quick" dial with a "*" (star) before the number....

I'm really at loss and frustrated with the stock rom of sprint and the strange stuff they/Samsung did with the phone...
Is there a way to fix it without installing some customized ROM?

Hi,
1. I'm afraid to do a factory reset, as it will (most likely) cancel the "unlock" sprint done for us, won't it????
2. What is this USSD/MMI fix app.... just checked it, and it looks like some safety issue, not something that will allow/let me do a "speed dial" with a * before the number
