Anyone know of a method to edit the lockscreen to show custom text?
For instance, on my old tablet, I could put my name, address and a secondary contact number on the lock screen so that in the event I forgot my tablet somewhere the person who found it had information to return it. I would like to have that option on my phone but I have not seen anywhere to that in the options and google has been no help either.
Anyone have any ideas?
I am surprised that this is not a default option.
Are you rooted? There are Xposed modules that allow it.

Therefore, the filter option is pretty much useless. Does anyone know any way to save the filter settings so that i can always see JUST my personal contacts defaulted in my address book? If not, what might be a good third party app (free is always best! ) that will do this, simply, for me. Thanks!

There is an option to filter by category in my ROM. What exactly are you talking about?
It gives you the option to filter, but then every time you go into contacts it is unfiltered. There is no option to "save filter settings." Therefore you are defaulted to only seeing the list you want.
I want to do this b/c i have lots and lots of work contacts i almost never use, but need stored. SO i would like to be able to hide them semi-permanently, but still be able to access them when needed.
Has anyone found a way to have a filter enabled by default?
Thanks.
I would like to know this too.
Thank you!
Do anyone know an solution???
I've been trying to replace the Gallery app with Just Pictures.
However I use LauncherPro and when using it to change the default icons in the dock, LauncherPro defaults to the Gallery app.
When the Gallery app is not installed, it claims there are no pictures on the phone at all.
Anyone know a solution?
I was wondering about this also... but about Picture Folder, so I've contacted the developer if he could somehow add an option to set default wallpaper or that is shown in this menu, but didn't get an answer.
It's related to the framework of SGS i guess, but i'm pretty sure someone knows something about this and i've already used the search button and couldn't get an answer.
So if maybe somebody knows anything about this, could you please share the info, or at least point us to the right direction
EDIT:
Picture Folder has been updated and is now called QuickPic and it has an option to set wallpaper, but it's still not shown in LP for icon selection...
Hi
My htc One has just been upgraded to Lollipop and I note that all the descriptive text (such as the snippets of emails , unread counts on icons, etc) is showing up as outline only as on attachment. I cannot find a setting which allows me to modify this although I have tried a number of different fonts and also looked for some means of editing on both Android settings and my Nova launcher as well. I'm sure there's a setting I can use SOMEWHERE, but so far I'm unable to find it. Any ideas out there?
Thanks
In the stock dialer, it requires more steps to get to one's contact list or dialer pad (for T9 dialing)
Has anyone found a good way to open the dialpad directly from a homescreen shortcut, or access favorite contacts directly?

thanks - I have GB and the option checked, but it doesn't do anything for me
tried using secure settings to access all the child activities under the phone app as parent, but none of those worked either
the multiple steps just to make a phone call is frustrating ... guess as time goes by, devs start to forget that the smartphone is actually meant to be used as a phone (too)!

Anyway to get rid of youtube adds without being rooted. I dont want to pay for their subscription.

I will try that thank you.
Anyone else? Would be much appreciated.
The keyboard notification should be killable by looking pressing the notification and disabling notifications for the keyboard. Works for the Google keyboard. Don't know about Samsung/others.
This links to a system wide add blocker. In theory it should catch everything. I pay for All access/YouTube Red, so i can't tell you if it blocks those ads but seems to work elsewhere.

With the phone, you can just push dialer button instead of searching and it supports old school T9 (?) text entry to quickly get to a contract as well. Didn't see a setting to go straight into it though. You might be able to do it with a Nova activity. I'm sure a third party dialer app or maybe even a widget would be able to do it too.
For the task killer, I just use Android's built in app switcher if I need to close anything. Swipe away individual apps or close all with one button.
Not sure I understand your "edge color of choice"question, but you can assign contacts to the five provided colors if you're talking about "people edge".
Hope this helps.
