Any possible way of getting shortcut/icon on home/lock screen?
Hi,
Apologies if this is not the right place to ask this, but is there any possible option/hack/widget etc., to get a shortcut/icon on the home screen or lock screen? Although it's not that much of a pain to swipe up, and then select your desired phone app (for instance), my concern is that if someone else needed to use my phone in an emergency, they wouldn't be able to figure out how to make a call. Even if they managed to figure out how to get to the phone app, they probably still wouldn't be able to figure out how to make a call, as until you know, the slow slide down to access 'Enter phone number' isn't obvious. It would be great to have a shortcut to something like 'FastDial' on the home screen/lock screen, as there doesn't seem to be any 'emergency call' option like you get in other OS's. Thanks |

I always considered many design choices in Sailfish a victory of form over function. Your case is just one of many.
There are precious few things that can help you to get around the "stranger uses the phone in an emergency" situation:

I have new patch for emergency call to trusted person without device-unlocking, it works as emergency call. But no ETA, I haven't enough time.

You can also choose three* shortcuts to place in the pulley menu of the Lock Screen.
*expandable to eight with Ancelad's patch. |

Hi,
I've found out that I can get rid of apps from the launcher by re/moving the .desktop file, but is there any way to control the order of the the apps in the launcher? Also, just wondered whether there were any qml files associated with the launcher that might allow us to customize it in any way? Thanks |
