I've been having problems with my shortcuts on my lockscreen disappearing and then a 'return to call' box replacing them on my lockscreen. It's completely random and I can't get it go begin or go away with any specific action. I'm rooted and have xposed installed.

What I have:
when lock screen enabled than sliders for answer/decline enabled.
when I install and enable WidgetLocker than stock sliders for answer/decline is out, I see only buttons.
But in february after wipe from custom recovery I installed [Froyo UK DeBlurred (1/02/2011)
. Sliders worked like in stock. But I wiped again, from stock recovery. After that I see many bugs like not working menu and search buttons and lock screen is gone, but sliders for answer/decline was still present! After that WidgetLocker was installed and activated. WidgetLocker working like lockscreen and stock sliders for answer working too.
How I can do this on another ROM? I want WidgetLocker for lockscreen and stock sliders for answer.
Well, I'm using the 34.4.9 update. I use Widget Locker and it shows the sliders for the calls just fine. I do love you can put any widgets you want on the lock screen and if you click them then home you bypass the need to unlock the phone entirely.
What you see on incoming call? Answer sliders or unlock sliders?
I see the answer slider and the ignore slider when I have an incoming call while using Widget Locker. I tested that when I posted that last message so I wouldn't feel stupid if it didn't work right.
I found it. Sliders are working only with "wakeup any button" disabled.
Hi all. I have similar problem with this sliders when lock screen is OFF. I want to have that GREEN "ANSWER" and RED "IGNORE" buttons but they stoped to show 2 weeks ago when screen is off.
@vitat
can you plesae explain where is that "wakeup any button" option on Defy, cose i can`t find that. TNX
Dear friends,
for an unknown reason I cannot access my " Settings" whatever you call it from the below right hand corner of the screen as it used to be, it's no longer there. The only other option of getting the phone settings is from on top of the screen which I do not like. Thanks for your help.

In ICS Android no longer has the menu button. Instead, apps now use the action bar. Any overflow from said bar now displays as 3 dots, which include actions such as settings.
Apps that haven't been updated to the new API's will display the 3 dots next to the multi-task button.
However, some custom roms allow you to persistently add the menu button to the navigation bar.
So, the short answer to your question would be to flash a custom rom.
Better get used to hitting the 3 dots, as Google is intent on phasing out the menu button
If you install a custom rom you can add the menu as a soft key

Thanks but I have always had the Menu Bar since when I bought it and there is no software upgrade up till now.
Is there a way to get the system to not add the menu button to various google programs? I'm running AOKP and I've got the menu button added to the navbar. Consequently, I want to get rid of it in the apps. Also, I would like the menu to pop up at the bottom and not the top. I would think this would be highly desired. What am I missing?
the menu inside the applications is built into the app itself. you wont be able to remove it unless you decompile the APK's and remove the menu yourself
I thought that the program used a signal from the system to determine if it has a menu button and uses that to determine the need for it. Does the Galaxy S III still get this button in apps like the play store and gmail? I don't know, but I would think not.
So from my research, it seems that the "overflow menu", as it is now called, only appears in the "action bar" when there is no menu button present on the device. For legacy devices that run ICS, it seems that android will detect that a menu button is present and not show the "overflow menu".
So basically, I'm wondering how I can trick the Galaxy Nexus into thinking there is a menu button present. This really should be an option for current roms as lots of people add the menu button to the navbar.
You have to hide the navbar to get what you want. When I use LMT and disable the navbar, the action button in all apps no longer appears. There is some api that tells the action bar menu to appear or not just like you want.

What is LMT?
From my searchings, that seems to be what I've found. there is a methods called "hasPermanentMenuKey()" to return true this requires that there not be a navbar. Unfortunately, this kinda kills things as the whole point of hiding it was because I had a menu key in my navbar.
Thanks so much for the helpful reply!!!
When I swipe down the notification menu from the top it directly shows the settingsbar. I really don't like that. On my N4 it took two swiped down.
The most stupid thing is that I can't swipe down notifcations (to see more info) when the settingsbar is still on the screen. When I swipe that up I can swipe down a notification..
Is there a way to change it?
Yeah, it's so annoying that I have to scroll up then down again to see notifications.
Someone fix this please!
Nova launcher or add a notifications button on the nav bar
Edit sorry the navbar works the same as stock
I noticed this after the Nougat update and I've already reset the phone to factory defaults.
When on the home screen and you long press an icon, the default behavior for the Samsung A7 2017 Nougat is to pull up options on what you'd like to do with that icon, like uninstall, remove badge, etc. After a few weeks of not using that feature, long pressing the icons no longer trigger the menu to appear. All that's left is the icon that can be moved around but not deleted.
Because of this behavior, if you'd placed widgets and icons on the home screen, you're not able to delete them anymore. Same thing if you have a set of icons together with the app drawer icon at the very bottom of the screen.
Do you guys also experience this? How can this be fixed? Resorting the phone to factory default fixes the issue, but it's back at it again after a few weeks of use.
TIA!
did you disable animation effect on developer option?
Samsung reply this on play store
If you set the animation setting as OFF in 'Settings ▷ Developer options ▷ Animator duration scale', management options cannot be properly shown when you tap and hold (long-press) an icon or a widget. Please don't choose the 'OFF' in the 'Animator duration scale' setting until the next update. Thank you.

Holy carp. Who would've thought they're related. I hate fancy animations. Thank you for replying. I'll try this
