would like to see how to get truly secure lockscreen and not have power menu showing through or inadvertentlu going off in pocket...but at least shut out status bar via hololocker (not ideal but worth the nonsese otherwise with status bar getting flipped open and things happening w/o knowledge when phone in pocket..lol)
now looking to see how to change notification background and do small theming for myself (too much dark stuff in android...wp8 is notorious for way too much black..cant see a thing in daylight..at least nightime one can turn down the brightness but sunlight ambient light overwhelms any max brightness on these amoled displays..nokia clearblack maybe exception)
EDIT popup message and replying popup works even through lockscreen as intended and even over secondary lockscreen like hololocker...mms w/o issues..restored sms mms database w/ mybackup no issues..no 90 deg rotation of mms pictures received as reported by some similar threads for other devices
