Hi,
Is there a way to make a personal screen lock.
I'd like to have a screen lock like this
Thanks in advance
Sorry for my english
Get WidgetLocker...it allows you to add widgets to your lockscreen. It also allows you to change the way you "unlock" the phone (example, instead of "slide down to unlock", you can make it like the iPhone [slide your finger to the side to unlock])
I'll try it right now! Thanks for the fast reply ;-)
There are also some other apps to change the lock screen - try searching appbrain or market for "Lock".
The app "Lock 2.0" from Android Apps (filed in Appbrain under Entertainment) allows you to replace the lock screen with a custome one - I personally didnt like it too much, but I think that's what you wanted...
I imagine many of these questions have been asked before but I didn't see a FAQ so I thought I'd compose a list of questions that I think others such as myself (inane) might ask upone their first use of the GN.
1. Can I move the google search at the top to another location or make it the size of a single app shortcut?
2. Can I move the apps shortcut at the bottom from the center to the right.
3. Is there a toggle button/shortcut/widget i can put on my desktop that easily allows you to switch from 4G to 3G (and 3G to 4G) without going through the settings? - preferrably right at the very top where the indicators are - I'd like to put an on off for wifi up there too.
4. Why does Voicemail take so long each time I open it - says Please wait- Verifying your account information this may take a minute - I have already configured my voice greeting and my personal name and a security code.
5. How do I get the configure menu in apps - I used to click on something that looked like the top half of a paper with a few lines on it - I want to customize some settings withing some apps but don't know how to get there. - Found that while asking this question - far right bottom of the screen - within an app a few dots like a : with an extra dot.
6. I want to change the way the screen lock works. I typically hold the phone in my right hand and want to unlock swipe it with my thumb. My thumb would much better swipe from bottom middle to top right corner of the screen - not directly across. Silly question I know but I don't want to have to use two hands to unlock my phone.
7. I heard there was a tweak for cranking up the volume - does that require rooting?
This is in reference to stock:
1. No
2. No
3, No
4. Dunno, I use Google Voice.
Thanks for the quick answer.
I don't see a shortcut for google voice - all I want to do is listen to my voicemails, know when I have them (e.g. number count on the icon). Is google voice something I need to install?

It's a static search bar at the top across home screens. You can definitely change this if you're rooted. But you can change this without rooting if you use a home screen replacement app such as Nova Launcher (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher).
2. Can I move the apps shortcut at the bottom from the center to the right.

Again, you can't do this in stock as adrynalyne said, but you can if you use something like Nova Launcher.

There's no built in shortcut for toggling this option. If you have an app like Tasker (costs money), or some shortcut creator, you ought to be able to do this. You can always search for LTE or 4G toggle in Google Play (Android Market) if you just want this singular function.
4. Why does Voicemail take so long each time I open it - says Please wait- Verifying your account information this may take a minute - I have already configured my voice greeting and my personal name and a security code.

I'm not sure why this is happening, but if you use Google Voice, you should be able to see via notifications and/or widget whether you have a voicemail or not. It is a separate app installable from Google Play (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.googlevoice&hl=en).
5. How do I get the configure menu in apps - I used to click on something that looked like the top half of a paper with a few lines on it - I want to customize some settings withing some apps but don't know how to get there. - Found that while asking this question - far right bottom of the screen - within an app a few dots like a : with an extra dot.

The menu button has been switched in ICS to a conceptual options bar. Some apps still use the menu function as you described with : and an extra dot.

My thumb would much better swipe from bottom middle to top right corner of the screen - not directly across. Silly question I know but I don't want to have to use two hands to unlock my phone.

Not sure how to configure the lock screen to your liking, but WidgetLocker (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker) might help serve your needs.
Thanks -
I just noticed the indicator at the top - I was using the Smith Micro voicemail app, but I like it better than the default so when someone blurts out information like a different phone number I can playback just that part of the message.
Hello, I just bought Note 4 and me previous phone was Note 1! Its a big change but some stuff isn't in Note 4 or maybe i dont know how to use it yet
First I want to use customized widgets on lock screen, I could do that in jellybean but in kitkat i cant put any widgets on lock screen and there I tried to Google it but couldn't find any options called "enable lock widgets" in security settings, its not there!
and I dont want to use and thrid party softwares like lockgo
2nd question is about S-Note software, in Note 1 I could type some mathematical equations, i dont see this option anymore in Note 4, and I could make Squares and Circles manually which isn't available too
That is a huge leap!
I don't know about lockscreen widgets, as I never liked, nor used, them, but my guess is Samsung ditched them because they won't be in Android 5.0. Instead, we'll get notifications on the lockscreen, which I think will be infinitely more useful. I do know how to get S Note to recognize formulas, though:
Open S Note. Write a formula with the S-pen (or your fingers). Then, select it using the selection tool at the top. (It will tell you which tools are which if you hover the S-pen over them.) Then, click Transform Into when the menu pops up. Finally, click formula.
Ok thanks for the answers, i have one more question
I could use a wide wallpaper and when you move your home screen it extends to far right and left so you could see more of the wallpaper but now its always fixed picture,I tried to use some other software from Play but none of them worked

You're welcome, and as far as I know, it would take root to change that. Maybe someone else knows something, though.
Hi guys
I attached a screenshot of this annoying pop up-app-drawer-shortcut thing that comes up every time or most times i try to open my app drawer.
I'm used to pixel phones and currently waiting on a replacement unit and now I'm using a gs20 fe.
How can I get rid of that box that pops up on top of the screen when trying to open the app drawer? Look at image attached
Install another launcher
Nova Settings -> Gestures & input -> Home button -> None
@inthedark22 already have nova since I hate the samsung launcher but that alone didn't fix the issue.
@rs_vanadium are the man! Thank you so much! Screen now flickers if I dont fully do the gesture/swipe up, but thats way better than that stupid box.
Thank you much XDA fam!
Hi All,
I have just got myself a fold 3.
I have a few questions i need help with please.
1/. With external screen can a hardened screen protector be put on and if so do i need to remove pre installed protector?
2/. I am thinking of buying this case https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0995WPCXJ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2SFKRF5TPZMT5&psc=1
Am i correct to say just the basic s pen will fit and not the pro?
3/. Not sure between the standard s pen and the pro.
Want to make sure it will fit in the case.
Thanks everyone
1, if 2, the case will crack the tampered screen protector if overlayed or pushed the protector off the edge.
2, standard fold spen
3, get the standard will do.

So what about Hydro gel protectors?
it depends on the case and dimension of the protector. i suggest don't change. keep the original protector.
Question how do i disable the lock screen pictures in the background.
For the life of me i cant get rid of it.
Thanks

I don't think you can get rid of the locks creek wallpaper, but you can change it to just a solid black picture.
I use Google Voice, but I'm sure there's a notifications setting in the messages app.

Can we stop Auto rotation on the cover screen & use it just on the inner screen?
How can I stop & turn OFF the Google Assist to stop pop up when I hit the Home button by mistake?
Thanks

1) not to my knowledge. The toggle is in the notification shade. You may want to check in settings for the Auto Rotate option and see from there.
2) Go into Accessibility. Or, go into settings and search Google Assistant.

Search "Google Assist," go down to "assistant settings" and then all the way down to "general ." The toggle is there, bro. Just have to be patient and read through it.

Look inside the good lock app. If you don't find it there, then use the nice lock app.
