[Q] CM10.2 - Stock Lockscreen? [RESOLVED] - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just flashed CM10.2 (unofficial build) onto my Nexus 4, and was wondering if it is possible to use the stock ROM lockscreen (the one that does NOT support custom targets) as opposed to the AOSP one (that does support the targets).
Is this just a simple apk to drop in /system/app? And if so, does anyone have the apk? Or does it involve modification to framework-res? Thanks in advance.
SOLUTION:
Go to Settings > Lock screen > Slider shortcuts. From there proceed to remove all BUT ONE of the targets (in my case, I left the one stuck on MMS). After you have removed all but one, save the configuration. It will save with all but one target blank (the one you left intact). NOW hit the reset button at the top and then save. After this you will have the stock lockscreen.

Why not just replace the quick shortcuts by "empty"? Then you wont have the shortcuts.

You just have to hit reset. If you just delete the shortcuts you can only unlock to the 5 spots. It's just hard to know this from the UI imo.
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-1862
I'm guessing they'll try to fix it so if you delete the the four custom shortcuts in future builds it treats it like you hit reset.

This is not true! I tried to reset it and the 5 apps remained there. And the phone apk doesnt even launch on the lockscreen.

Are you on 4.2/CM10.1 or 4.3/CM10.2? Setting the shortcut to "empty" will set it in the settings but once I save and then lock the screen, the next time I unlock, all the targets remain as if I never did anything. And yes, I did hit "save" and the toast notification did appear.

That's actually a very interesting link, I'll definitely check that out on my old Gnex. But hitting the reset button acts the same way as setting targets to empty, it reverts back to what the ROM came with (all targets filled: browser, phone, apollo, MMS).

This is what I'm experiencing. The phone target doesn't launch because 4.3 has a new dialer with T9 dialing built in.
EDIT: Seems like others are reporting this issue as well. I'm aware that it's a very early stage ROM so I'm not reporting it as a bug, but rather trying to remedy the problem myself. Here's the link to a post in the ROM thread where others are reporting this issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44484517&postcount=275
EDIT AGAIN: I was able to figure out how to set it up, it's very weird and found out after noticing Thibaultvw's post with one remaining target. Instructions in main post.

Remove User Account Picture

Hi all,
Under the Quick Settings pull down menu, the first button is the User Account. It shows the user's name and profile picture(if there is one). I've associated a picture with the user profile; but a while later, even after I removed/deleted the picture, the picture still shows up under the Quick Settings pull-down. My question is, is it possible to have the icon revert back to the default android user icon(below)?

Yes I have. In the contacts app, my profile doesn't have a picture anymore. However, the picture still shows up under the Quick Setting menu.
so the picture doesn't show up under Quick Setting menu if you delete yours from the profile?

Not sure then. Mine is from Google + profile pic so if I delete it then it removes the picture in the quick toggles.
You may just need to wipe and start clean.

Damn this issue doesn't even affect the phone in anyway, it's just my personal preference. A wipe needs so much work D:

[Q] System App / S-Pen for cutting things out ?

Hey, I debloated @_alexndr ROM by myself and now after a few days I realize one thing:
I can't use this handy little feature to press on the S-Pen and cut out what's interesting for me, so I can
share it.
Basically what is working:
The cutting out animation is working BUT the window with all the options to customize and share is missing.
I think there's a system App I deleted which is supposed to deal with this.

I assumed that my description wouldn't be the best
okay, so just follow:
- take out your S-Pen
- press the button on the S-Pen and hold it
- draw a circle on your homescreen
Now the part, that woun't come up on my device:
- a window opens up
- you can adjust the little cut out you just made
- share it with the apps below on the screen

That's exactly what I was talking about !
Is there any way to make a txt file by the device itself, so you don't have to type out all the apk's ?
Or can you just make a few screenshots of your system/app & system/pirv-app folder ?
As an alternative you could make a screenrecord and put it on youtube (or whatever).

Completely forgot i can just list them in terminal. I probably havent uploaded them in the right order. But here you go, also i have renamed some of them. But its fairly easy to guess what they where before. Got some extra apps in there too. Like the video editor, sketchbook, city maps. Just for an example.
Hope this helps!

Well, here I am again.
Unfortunaly I can't figure out what app or apps are missing on my device.
With the pictures given me by @celderic I compared my apps with his.
There were a few apps which I was missing which I put back to system/app or system/priv-app.
Sadly no changes !
So I checked all apps which I would combine with this feature and opened up the apk's to search for evidence.
As far as I can tell, PhotoRetouching_FHD_H.apk is responsible for what I'm looking for.
Funny thing is, I had this all the time on my phone so why does it not work ?
I can't tell and I can't think of anything I can do more, so basically this is a dead end unless someone wants to help out.

Disable Auto Hide Softkeys

I had this app installed that provided the ability to autohide the softkeys, but decided to uninstall it. After rebooting the phone it still has the softkeys autohiding, and I am not sure where to look to disable this function.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys
I emailed the programmer but haven't heard back as of yet, and wonder if anyone else has an idea where to look to restore softkeys to default.

Did you restore the soft keys before uninstalling the app? That would be my first step. If that does not work, you'll have to reflash your rom.

Those screens in the App Store are no where to be found, not even in the paid version.
So I reflashed:
system.img
boot.img
vendor.img
But the softkeys are still autohiding. Looks like I need a complete wipe to get rid of it. I find it disheartening that the screenshots shown on the Appstore that show a way to disable the app are not actually part of the installed app.

Unfortunately, that's on the developer to maintain and they appear to be unhelpful. Everything should go back to normal after a factory reset. I suggest using a custom rom to auto hide those keys, if you are so inclined.

New phone and I'm missing some keyboard items...

I have a second Note 3 that I just bought so I can switch back and forth as they get clogged with junk. I'll be free to wipe one clean, then start using it while I transfer all my stuff over from the old one.
Anyhow, I am coming from 4.4.2 and upgraded the new one to the latest Jasmin rom. One thing that I don't like is the new Samsung keyboard. Titanium says they are the same version, but the new keyboard doesn't have the little punctuations that show up on a long press of a key. If I want to use an apostrophe, I have to press "Sym", then select the " ' ", then switch back to "abc" to keep typing. I used to be able to just long press on "v", and an apostrophe would pop up. I think I went through every option I can think of, but did I miss something? Can I "enable" an option somewhere?

Swiftkey seems to be the thing to use for right now. I even tried to use Titanium backup to force the old keyboard into the new phone. It said it's in there, but there's no difference. Oh well. Now if I can just figure out a way to get rid of the predictive suggestions at the top...

Is Full Screen Possible?

Please be kind and use easy words. I'm a noob!
I would like to ask if it is possible for the S8 to have a full screen all the time? Without the nav bars. I know they disappear with You Tube and some other apps, but can it be done as a standard setting.
I don't mind playing with settings and trying things, as long as I can use simple terms.
Thanks in advance.

This full screen is not the same as the ADB version. That fully resizes the apps. The app version just removes the status bar and nav and leaves a blank black area in most apps.
Yes, the ADB version is the truest form of full screen. Really liking it. My one gripe with on-screen buttons was that they made the actual usable screen space smaller. This way we get to maximize the entire display. Love being able to tweak our phones to our personal likes. Something much easier to do with Android, even non-rooted android, than IOS.
This is awesome but it should have been already included as a feature.

It is with some apps, you have to press the open apps button on the screen and if you can view that app in full screen you press on the green circle in the upper right hand side of the screen.
