[APP][SENSE 3.6/4/4A/4.5][2013/1/1 1.43]HTC Lockscreen Shortcut Provider

This is my second Android app. I develop this little app because I prefer 3rd party launcher (e.g. Apex) than existing Sense 4 Rosie. Existing hacked Sense 4 Rosie (full version) currently doesn't support non Sense widget correctly and is less feature-rich than many other launchers.
Even if you install a 3rd party launcher, Rosie still consume your precious memory as a system service. But if you freeze Rosie and thus release it from memory, you'll lose your lockscreen app shortcuts. After painstakingly reviewing the codes in HTC shortcut components, I found that Rosie actually act as a content provider to supply information of its launcher bar shortcuts to lockscreen. So without Rosie, lockscreen has no information to construct its shortcuts. Therefore I wrote this little app to replace the role of Rosie as the content provider. What's more, it allows you to select your own apps with a simple config screen and store the data separately. And it doesn't stay in the memory permanently.
Installation instructions:
Uninstall Rosie (Freezing doesn't work because Android doesn't allow two content providers of same type) ** You're reminded to make a backup first **
Install HTC Lockscreen Shortcut Provider
Run Lockscreen Shortcuts
Select your app for the 4 shortcuts
Hit back to save settings and notify HTC lockscreen

** Currently this app has been tested to work with Sense 3.6, 4, 4A and 4.5 **

- New option to hide app title
1.4

1.3
- Add support for Sense 4A
1.2.1
- Fixed FC when loading installed apps
1.2
- Add support for Sense 3.6

I'm not sure. But is Sense 4.1 still using the app shortcuts in Rosie launcher bar for lockscreen shortcut? If yes, then I guess it probably works too.
The easiest way to find out is of course to give it a try.

This is good for desensed roms I'm guessing.

Absolutely, but I need to confirm if it works on your device too.

awesome app..very useful..!

Interesting app. I leave the Rosie launcher running though anyway because it also feeds the lockscreen widgets and message counts... Does this act as a content provider for those things as well, or just the icons?

I previously tried using other lockscreen widgets (weather and people) without Rosie and it seems to work fine. So I believe they don't rely on Rosie at all.
But I'm not sure about email or message count.

I'm thinking of the Social Lockscreen in particular. It gets its updates from the social widget in Rosie. And then of course email count comes from the email widgets in Rosie.

Actually I still think most if not all lockscreen widgets should work. Even without Rosie, we're practically still using a Sense ROM. Lockscreen shortcuts is a rare exception since HTC decided to reuse the Rosie launcher bar app shortcuts. I remember in earlier Sense, it actually allows you to define them separately.
So why don't you try and let us know?

It works. I am using productivity lock screen and everything is working. Running VenomXL rom.

Works using TN SE 3.7. with apex launcher. Thank you! I desperately wanted the shortcuts for lockscreen but didn't want to use sense... Now maybe if you could make a calculator widget for apex that would be awesome...

It stopped working after reboot.

Can you give me a logcat?
It'll be even better if you can give me the xda link of this ROM.

This is probably going to be my favorite app as the only reason I leave Rosie installed is for the shortcuts but sadly, this doesn't work on my 2.33 based ROM(Sense 4.1) What exactly do you need to make it work for that ROM? Logcat, Rosie.apk, etc?

OMG, you guys already have Sense 4.1 ROM! I can take a look at the problem if you can give me:
Rosie.apk
idlescreen_Base.apk
com.htc.resources.apk
BTW, what's the name of that ROM? And can you describe the problem so that I can have a better idea where to look.

I'm running my yet to be released ROM. The problem is that even though it says it notified the lockscreen, no shortcuts ever appear even after rebooting. And please add a apply or done button to the app because the first time I used it, I didn't know that backing out of the app was the way to set the shortcuts
And here are the files you requested
http://www.mediafire.com/?g715n7kwut1rv6z

Today I did some testing on various Sense versions and would like to let you know my findings:
Hybrid 4A (e.g. UKB X on IncS) - OK
Sense 4.1 (e.g. ViperX on One X) - OK
Sense 4A (e.g. UKB V on IncS) - No shortcuts in lockscreen
Sense 3.6 (e.g. ARHD on IncS) - Lockscreen shortcuts appears and update correctly but shortcut app cannot be launched when unlock
At this moment, my first priority is to support Sense 3.6. After that I'll work on 4A.

[4.4+] Droid Turbo Circle Widget qHD (540x960)

Hi All,
I've modified motorola droid turbo circle widget to fit in qHD (540x960) from this thread, just flash it through recovery.
Tested on Razr M (XT907):
CM11 - 4.4.4
Latest Google Launcher from Android L (see attachment)
Download
Thanks

It's work with nova launcher too but how to show up the weather because if i touch the three dot on the right or left side it's always force closed and make my razr restart...
It's there any relation with the weather application?
Because i don't install weather application

what you mean "cannot read my location data" ? are you trying to Add City or use your current location ?
you can manipulate your current location with fake gps apps, find it on play store.. and test it with google maps

I just want to make the widget show up my city but when i try to add city from the widget the weather apps can't show my location
From your screenshoot in the OP it's show the weather but when i install to my razr it's never show up....
I think your right it's work only for 4.4.4 rom

Edit:
Touching the wings (Left/Right) causes forced reboots. I had the same problem with the one I resized, needs to be debuged.

I try to follow your step and i still no luck...my razr still forced reboot if i touch the wings

Thanks!
Thank you very much , i have a razr XT890 4.4.2 and pulls nicely with permission rw -rr 0644. Smoothly

It works on my 2 yr old atrix 2 with same screen resolution running CM11. Thanks alot

[Q] No clock for Android 5.0.2

Hi,
I just installed Android 5.0.2. I noticed that I don't have the alarm clock installed. There is one installed on my Nexus 5, but not my nexus 7. How can I get back thestock version of the clock application? Or is my only option to install a third party app?

I flashed the factory image and I have it. Version is 3.0.2
Have you checked under Settings - Apps - All - to see if its disabled?

There is not an explicit alarm app on mine on 5.0.2, it is within the clock app. In the app drawer the icon is blue/purple and simply called "clock".
There are four icons across the top which are for, from left to right:
Alarm
Clock
Timer
Stopwatch
This looks like the same clock app, although slightly reskinned/colored with some Material Design as the one on my Moto X 2013 running 4.4.4.

Yes I'm aware of the look of the clock app. I have it installed on my nexus 5 but it doesn't appear on the nexus 7. In order to get that functionality, I had to install an app called KitKat clock. I removed it, to see if the stock version would show up but it didn't.
I checked in all my apps and it's not there, even disabled.

Use Timely. You won't use another clock app after you've tried it.

Google lollipop clock app for sense 7 - possible?

Can anybody port google's own lollipop clock app for HTC Sense 7? The new lollipop clock is so pretty imho.
I totally hate Htc didn't change their ui for phone, calender and clock apps coz the new default google's phone, calender & clock apps r so eye-refreshing.
I already downloaded & install the calender app. Didn't install the Phone app coz I still am a big fan of the intelligence capacity of Sense Phone app rather than google's. But the clock app of google didn't even install in Sense 7.
So any help guys?

That's a ported version of Google's Lollipop clock. If you mean HTC's Sense 7 clock, you can get it here.

Works an absolute treat.
I was casually wondering if this was possible on an unrooted M8, (I thought it might require flashing something via TWRP), but it's just a standard APK that can be installed in the regular fashion.
Anyhow, for anybody interested, here is a screenshot of my unrooted M8 with both 'clear' and 'solid' variants of the widget on my home screen.
