How do I change the lock screen shortcuts?

[phazei]

I just got this today. When I first turned it on it did a load of updates, went to 4.2.2, then multi-screen was disabled. I read that a wipe would fix that, so I did so.

Now on the lock screen there are 4 shortcuts for apps, I can't find anywhere under lockscreen in the settings where I can change them. There's no "lock screen options" button that I think only exists in 4.1.

How can I change the shortcuts? I googled and couldn't find anything.


Also the the "home screen mode" is totally gone from the list. And the initial tips you get when you first turn it on are gone too :/

I saw that, unfortunately

3. Tap "Lock Screen Options"

doesn't exist. Perhaps it did in 4.1? But it's not there and I'm on 4.2.2

You can see the option for it in this screen shot I found:

This is what it looks like on the S3

Before it upgraded to 4.2 it was there as well as all those tips on each screen when you first load the device.

Looks like they remove that setting in the new update, I also had easy mode before 4.2.

Ah, well, in that screen shot, I just found that with a google search to show where it was supposed to be. It's not there on mine as you can see from the original screen shot from my device. I'm pretty sure it was removed in 4.2, but I haven't found anywhere that explicitly says so. Every reference to it that I've found seems to be with 4.1

Here's a video showing it on the Note 8, 4.1:

Hi, sorry to bring this thread back up, but I was wondering if anyone could help me with this issue - it is essentially the same as the original poster, except I haven't got either "lockscreen options" or a "shortcuts" option in the lockscreen menu.

I've attached a screenshot. If anyone could have a look, would be appreciated.
