Where are the lock screen shortcuts? - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anybody know where to setup lock screen shortcuts? I'm coming from an S3 and had the ability to set four or five app shortcuts on the lock screen with the stock laucher/lock screen. Is the feature gone?

Lock screen shortcuts, quick glance and half the TW camera modes were the three things I was pretty disappointed with coming from the S4...luckily if we ever find root, these are all things we can port over from the Note 3 and GS4

Samsung has pulled back in some of its customizations, including the ability to set as many shortcuts on the lock screen -- such as shortcuts to the browser, dialer, and messaging inbox. This was a convenient feature though.

Hey as i said earlier try c locker its a good locker app fir shortcut setting...

While on the topic of lockscreen, is there a way to extend the timeout on the lock screen? mine is way to short.

I installed the Galaxy Locker from the play store... Free and does an awesome job replicating the s4 lock screen... Complete with shortcuts, custom wallpaper, notifications, etc.

Horizontal Lock Screen Tablet Mode

Any possible solution to get the lockscreen into tablet mode? Kinda annoying unlocking portrait while holding landscape.
I'm rooted running stock Jellybean 4.1.1

Yes
Yes there is.
There's a post somewhere on XDA that explains how to achieve this, or theres a paid app on GP that gives you more control over when/how for rotation.
Search.
In the data folder. There might be a file called local.prop. If there is then add this line if there isn't then create the file and add the line:
launcher.force_enable_rotation=true
Then save and restart. That should give you homescreen rotation and lockscreen rotation.

Got the home screen to rotate but not the lock screen. That would be awesome if we can figure out how to do this. Hate it when it is horizontal and I have to tilt it sideways.

Or is there something that I'm missing in settings that will turn off lock screen notifications? Thanks to anyone that can assist with this.. :thumbup::beer:

If you're rooted hit up your root file browser, go to system> app> delete anything that says widget. I've tried all the lock screen controls and it does nothing to remove them.
[Edit]: Just be aware when you use this method the clock and the user info may also go bye bye.
You can also disable the native lock screen and install a third party with no frills.

Thanks for your reply. When removing the apk you mentioned it also removed the widget I wanted to use instead.

[Q] Does a workaround exist for Note 3 features and Pebble Accessibility Service?

Hello,
I just got a new Note 3, and it seems that trying to enable the Pebble accessibility service disables some rather important TouchWiz features. The only thing I really care about is the One-handed operation mode, which I believe is part of the multi-tasking TouchWiz feature. If it wasn't for that, I'd just disable all of those, since I don't use the rest anyways.
Is there a workaround that allows the Pebble service and One-handed mode/MultiTasking to work together? Root or otherwise?
Thanks!
PS: Also posted this on the Pebble forums, but thought I'd put it here too
I have the same problem.... look at all the accessibility apps that I have to disable to use 'one handed'.

}
The apps are more important than one handed operation but I do now have to remember not to use the stock browser unless I want constant talkng as enabling any accessibilty function not only disables the one handed gesture but also makes the stock browser say "Page Loading. ...Page Loaded..." etc.
Can't believe this bug has not been fixed.

Looks like you can just turn the features back on.

This is a long-standing TouchWiz bug where accessibility features disable many of TouchWiz's features. Not a Pebble issue.

The other features work when I turn them back on, just not the one-handed operation... The gesture doesn't do anything while the Pebble service is enabled.
Yeah, I can turn on most features after turning on pebble services, but one handed mode and email air view info preview do not work Anyone got a fix?
I left the accessibility off and tested to see if I still get notifications on my pebble and I still do.

[FIX] [NON-ROOT] Lockscreen shortcuts | Enabling them without menu option

Hullo all!
Many of us don't have shortcuts on the lockscreen, not even with security set to swipe or off. For some reason, Samsung removed this from most EU and AU firmware. Annoying, because they were very convenient.
I've found a workaround that doesn't require Root or a custom lockscreen. :victory: As it turns out, they only removed the menu setting, not the option itself.
What you'll need:
- Custom Launcher like Apex or Nova. (You can uninstall it again later if you prefer Touchwiz.)
- Security set to SWIPE. For security reasons, it simply doesn't show up otherwise. That's a feature, not a bug.
What to do:
I did this on Apex, but I imagine the others work much the same:
hit the Optionkey when you're at the Homescreen.
Add
Shortcuts
Activities
Settings
Shortcuts (.lockscreenshortcut.locscreenshortcutsettings)
Open the newly made shortcut
Toggle the 0 to 1.
Change the apps the same way as always, by dragging them to the bin below and hitting + for adding new ones.
There you go, they're back.

Request: How can i change the sound of lock unlock?

Is there a way to change this sound? There is nothing in settings. Perhaps anyone knows in which folder this sound file is?
Thanks,
The only way to change is by changing the "Screen swipe effect" in the Lock Screen Settings when you have swipe to unlock. each swipe effect has a different lock/unlock sound.

You can use a root Explorer and replace the corresponding files in the ui folder. The route to get to that folder is in the screenshot... I would backup files first, though...

Its on System/media/audio/ui. Search the lock screen you want to use. Find any .OGG file from other phones and renamed them for that lock screen. I have the Star Wars sounds for the S pen for Note 3 for lockscreen.
