1337674 2013-05-29 05:33:00 1) What kind of "shortcuts" to the lockscreen?
2) Pull down with two fingers
3) AFAIK no, you can't by default but there are apps for that.
4) Reboot isn't normally needed, but you can also get something like this: play.google.com -- And you can toggle 3G by pulling down on the notification menu with two fingers
5) Pass, never used that weather widget sorry. Try Google Now instead and use the weather from that? Push and hold your home button and drag it upwards.

Glad you're enjoying it :)

1337675 2013-05-29 05:39:00 Ok I've had this thing for over 24 hours and mostly positive.

A couple of things I miss from the SGS2 and Jellybean Touchwize.

1. No way of adding shortcuts to the lock screen.
2. I miss the pull down at the top with all the settings you can turn off and on. There is a widget for the in the N4 but looks like the old one from Android 2.3.
3. Can't have different wallpaper for lock screen and home screen, minor niggle..
4. Android 2.3 hangover. No way to reboot the fone or turn off 3G data from the power button.
5. Don't like the default weather widget in the N 4. The touchwiz clock / weather one was way more informative and allowed multiple cities to be monitored.

Do I want to go back to the SGS2. No way.. Have now set up the SGS2 for Wifey to replace her SGS1 which has an intermittent screen fault when it goes to sleep and has to be re-powered to get it going again. The main board was replaced to try to fix this but it didn't. So now it is a spare backup fone..

Thanx for peoples help in this.. :-)

1. Try Dashclock (play.google.com)
2. See Chill's comment + look at Power Toggles (play.google.com WlubGVzcy5wYyJd)
3. Meh!
4. See Chill's comment
5. I use Beautiful Widget (play.google.com XZlbHVwLmJlYXV0aWZ1bHdpZGdldHMiXQ..) and/or Accuweather (play.google.com 2N1d2VhdGhlci5wYWlkLmFuZHJvaWQiXQ..)

1337679 2013-05-29 23:20:00 The light flow is god, thanks for info.

I can't find templates on N4, that is pre written text, to save typing on occasion.


Does it have the facility?.

Not aware of one, but I imagine it will depend on the app you're trying to apply these templates to...

In the phone app, for instance, if you go to Settings, there is an item "Quick responses" where you can set messages to be sent back to a caller when you can't answer the phone.

Set the messages and then, when a call comes in, drag the cursor UP rather than to either side. This will cancel the call and allow you to choose an appropriate message. Of course, it's only useful if the caller is using a cellphone...

A bad example would be, Good morning.

I had that on my Palm Treo, but it's not available on the stock Android messaging app AFAIK.

However that's the beauty of Android - there's probably another SMS app out there on Google Play that you can download, install and make default that DOES have this feature...
