Hey there folks, I was wondering if there was any way to remove the "Life Companion" text which shows up on the lock screen WITHOUT rooting my S4 because I didn't see a setting for its removal? It's annoying to see on the lock screen, so any ideas? Thanks.

You can also drag down from the top of the screen while the screen is locked. A white outlined box will appear. Once you release, a pencil icon will appear in the lower right corner that will bring up an editor. You can just delete the text there, or change it to something else. Be sure to hit save.

Anyone notice this? At the top of screen, right under the Status Bar, there seems to be some intentional darkening.
I know it's not the screen, because it shows up in screen shots and if you drag the photo around down to the middle of your screen, the darkened horiztonal line still shows right under the status bar.
No a big deal really, but slightly annoying. Check the posted screen shots (anyone's) and then look at yours.
Why would they do that?

It most likely is a software issue. The Nexus S had screen issues that were corrected with a software update from Google. Once we get root we can use voodoo colors and set the screen color to our liking.

I think hes talking about the vertical lines everyone is discussing in the other thread. Its just the way the screens are. Some are more noticeable then others.

No it's a horizontal line and it's not a screen defect. It's definitely software related and I believe it only shows on the home screen and lock screen

Actually it shows anywhere the status bar or any type of header bar shows, like the orange bar on the top of the xda app. I think it was by design to have a shadow come from the top bar.

After looking at it,I completely agree with you. It definitely appears to have been intentional

Now that we've established that it's supposed to be there, I'm going back to my original criticism. Why would they do that? I don't like it.

so im on CM10,
is there a way to get rid of the lockscreen? im not talking about the screen where you use a pattern, face, password.
im talking about the initial screen where you have to drag the button to the "unlock" button (which then subsequently opens up the pattern, etc page)
so for me, i have a pattern.
but i dont want to use the "slider shortcut" thing to intially drag it to "unlock" THEN swipe my pattern.
i just wanna immediately go to the pattern swiping screen.
is there a way? thx
I know on tw ROMs you go to
Settings>security>screen lock>none

no i want the screen lock (the part where you swipe a pattern)
what i DONT want is the screen BEFORE that....where you have to drag the button to the "unlock" button.
its on CM10
From the play store get no lock app and you good to go.

When you set up your pattern lock (Settings --> Security ---> Screen Lock ---> Pattern) it will have a check box for the "With Swipe Lock" If you have that unchecked you will not have that initial screen.
thanks!!!

I have a new N7105 - and i'm coming from a Galaxy Nexus. With the Nexus you can edit the icons in the bottom tray by long pressing then just dragging them around. However, on the Note 2 i can't do this? If i press menu then press edit, it only lets me edit the screens.
Is there any way to change these icons? I find it hard to believe they've locked these down.
The icons i'm referring to are: Phone, Contacts, Messaging, Internet, Apps
Also, just thought i'd add - i've searched everywhere for how to do this but none of the suggestions work.
I've tried pressing apps and setting the view to customisable grid then going edit from the apps drawer - this doesn't work either.
Also, is there a way to do this without installing a different launcher?
Hi I have the 7105. If I hold an icon in the tray draw I can move it to the home screen or drag it all the way to the trash can. I can then drag any icon from the home screen to the app tray.

Same here on my n7100.. Long press on them and I can move them around and into the screen.

I noticed in Australia the Optus rom does not let you move the shortcuts at all. Also if you want to move icons around on the home screen you first need to press menu edit.. so stupid. Installed an unbranded rom and now I don't have these limitations

Hey guys. I just got my sgs4 last night and I got 2 questions coming from an sgs3 how can I swipe on the lock screen before entering the password? The sgs3 had that as an option. Last question how can I get rid of the notification on the lock screen for text messages? Thanks.
Press text message icon and swipe to unlock screen

I'm confused as to what you mean? I have a password and when I go to unlock my phone I don't get to swipe anything. On the sgs3 there was a check box in the lock screen settings to enable swipe to unlock while having a password and curious how can I get that or why that option wasn't in the sgs4
I guess it's just something stupid that really isn't important. I do need to use a password tho because I can't trust guys at work when I leave my phone in the truck and it's pretty sad :/

thanks for that, its getting close but I don't have the middle option you have only the show all or show none, how did you get the middle one? Ideally what I want and I have it on my One max was when I get a sms that it get the little notification in the top left corner of the screen but I don't have the message contents viewable on the lock screen. any idea how to turn that bit off?
Sorry bro. I don't have m9 yet. Just wanted to see if I could point you in the right direction. I'm still saving money to buy that beauty and retire my m7. Hope you figure it out.

I'm not seeing an option either. You can turn off the pop up message but that seems to be it.

Guys, I think you must have a lock option (pattern/pin) in order to have the "middle" option to hide sensitive content
