[Q] Lockscreen slider shortcuts?

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.

[Q] themed icons

HI guys I have a simple question. I noticed that if you have a theme with moded icons for a certain app and if that app updates via playstore, that app's icon will revert to norrmal. And no matter how many times I flash the theme the icon wont revert to its modified icon. Any solution for this would love to be able to fix this

Link to Theme Chooser APK Please!

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?

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.

I just downloaded nova launcher and both the navbar/notification bar were transparent without me doing anything
edit- you could also just install xposed and either g2 xposed or g2 tweakbox which allow you to customize navbar/notifications

Just download themes, which comes with icons, sort of.

I did that, they never show up in the themes option

Use xposed installer and then install unicon tweak for change icon pack from go launcher ,apex launcher ,etc.

I have Xposed installed, but I can't find UNICON TWEAK as a module in Xposed. Can you please confirm the name and where to get it from?
Thanks
