So hi, i just registered and using the tutorials provided here i flashed Android 4.2 Jelly bean on my phone, unfortunately something went wrong i guess during the process and my lockscreen is now like this:
As you can see, i don't get the 'google now' and 'camera' option in the lockscreen and there is a weird symbol at the botton of the screen.
If i just slide my finger in the place where those options should be, i get the usual unlock options (like if it was moving..).
Well i just tried to post and i got the message that i can't posts links until i reach 10 posts so im putting the images as attachments
Anyone?

OH, my bad and you are right, apparently the vid i checked to see if that was something going wrong, the person had some kind of customization i guess, i checked some popular reviews of android 4.2 and that is actually how it is supposed to be.
Thanks a lot!
This is 4.2 dude and you've now for home screens in lock screen.

Just wondering for those of you who have the device already, have you guys found some neat features/tricks using 4.0 that haven't been documented or heavily advertised?
I would love to make a list of these features for other users to explore...
Lets get this started
List:
Reserved........
I know it's documented,but it was still a surprise to me - you can now finally delete apps straight from the app drawer, by dragging them just as if you were going to place them on the desktop,but then putting them in the recycle bin on the top.
No affiliation with apple. Or siri.
Sent from my samsung gt i9250 which is in the wrong country.
Nobody's talking about the search app. It's way better than the one in Gingerbread. Much easier to find stuff in your phone : music, app, sms, docs, etc. The old one was returning web search suggestion in 90% of the result... useless.
Search in browser let's you edit suggestion if you want to add something to it. But we lost popular web site suggestion
Just read it on Pocketnow but you can make folders in the favourites bar. Apologies if obvious.
When in the stock browser and you change orientation, tap the screen to make it rotate.

which runs TouchWiz, so it's not stock Android
Rotate the phone to the right whilst in any stock app (so the speaker grill and front camera are on the right). Notice that the back, home and task switch buttons have moved to the top of the screen so that they stay on the right.
When using an ics app hold down on an icon in the action bar to get a description of what it does

Not heavily advertised, but it should be:
The quick control in the browser. Almost the same as on honeycomb. Activate it in the labs settings of the browser. Love it!

NICE find! Thanks!
This is known about, however you said undocumented and I haven't a single document for the Nexus/ICS apart from on one which came with the phone,telling me how to fix the battery.
Hold the volume down and power key, and you take a screen capture. Which is very handy on occasions
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
If you tap the volume button which makes the volume bar appear, you can then press the icon to the left of the volume bar and it toggles between ring and vibrate.

In settings/about phone. Tap repeatedly on the android version number (4.0...) then a little android appears. Keep ur finger on it and it grows into a screen animation.
If u didn't know about this,I guess u r now thinking this is a joke. Or is it?
Need someone to test; try swiping the web pages up/down using 2 fingers
, is it a feature or a glitch?

Yes. Either wait for some new weather to come into your area (i.e. different that it currently is) or just toggle Google Now on/off in Google now ---> settings --> Google now --> Top right corner toggle on/off
I see this question is going to get asked a LOT once JB goes public.

I think so too. Google really needs an "always" or "permanent" option for their notifications and cards so they aren't swiped away or deleted so easily!
wather notification is pretty cool, the first day i swipped it out some times but it returned always.. now there isn't anymore
I searched but didn't see anything on this.
There is a blue pull tab thing on the left hand side of my screen. I want it gone, but can't find out how to get rid of it.
Thanks!
There's a ton of threads already on this. ..
To show/hide hold the back key for a couple of seconds

It allows you to access the multi-window feature of the NII, for accessing 2 apps at the same time.
To be fair its not a particularly well advertised feature and with little to no instruction a lot of people won't know what it is for.
But it is for split screen mode.
You can drag apps to the top of bottom part of the screen from that bar to run two apps side by side.
Hi all I accidentally activated a semi circle tab on my note 2. When I swipe the blue semi circle tab.. a column with 8 apps appear at the side of the screen..
This semi circle tab can be shifted to the top or bottom and left or right of the screen.. can someone advice me where to disable it?

that's the multi Window feature of this beast. Hold the back touch button for a second, the tab will disappear. If it's there, you can open 2 apps at the same time in a split screen fashion. Try it out. Works like a charm.
HTH

Hold the back button down
You have just activated the dual screen function

What happens when the 1/2 moon won't dissapear no matter how long you hold the "back" button? Shall you call me a noob or average joe? Maybe just answering an honest question should be enough to swell your head a touch eh?
Replying to a dead 10 month old thread just to mock someone doesn't make you look any more intelligent then the one you were replying to.
If you are having troubles disabling the multi-window feature open Settings> Display> take the check out of Multi-window.

Fallenkirmit, well even though the post might be a bit old it get's veiwed by many who Google their issues. My 6yr. old boy was telling me how rude it was for him to act that way towards the OP, so I thought about the time frame and yet thought of all those other people that may not ask a question because of reading his responce or those that might or do respond now on Forum's. Thank
you for your kind responce. Just looked and I don't have Multi-Window listed under Device catagory then selecting Display.
If you want to completely disable it, it should be in system settings / display / multi-window feature, uncheck. If its not there then perhaps its not Multi-Window your having issues with. Are you on a TouchWhiz based ROM?

Everything is stock in this 4.1.1 until I can get through this divource then backup my addy's then ROM time.
Multi Window isnt in 4.1.1

Then i'll have to write it down thought it was 4.11.
I updated my Galaxy Nexus to 4.2 using e587de13bf8a.signed-takju-JOP40C-from-JZO54K.e587de13.zip file.
The update seemed to happen fine, and I can access all new 4.2 features, except the Lockscreen widget.
My lockscreen doesnt seem to go right or left. The Google Now bootom-up swipe asks me to enter PIN, unlocks the phone and takes me to thr Google Now window. A back button there takes me to my Homescreen.
Can anyone tell me if I am missing something here?
Thanks,
It's working fine here
Sliding right takes me to the Camera and sliding to the left takes me to other widgets like messaging gmail etc.
Try flashing again. It might help you

When you turn the screen on, you should see two rectangles on the right and left borders of the screen.
Swipe from the clock down to lower your security. Then swipe left or right to access the camera and widgets. To bring your security back up grab the lock at the bottom of the screen and pull it up.

Tried all those and much more, but its still the same.
Other than this, all other 4.2 features work fine.
Same is happening to me and one of my friends (both on takju).
I could swipe from left to right imminently after the update, but after some time i couldnt anymore. Only the clock widget is present.
Can it be because we have corporate email accounts on the phones and it forces the lockscreen to be PIN?
thanks

That might explain it. Even I have my corporate account configured on the phone.
Any way to workaround this?
