[Q] questions about ICS on Sensation

[rio911]

Hi guys,

Looking for help on a few questions about my recently updated Sensation:

First off, changing the shortcuts on lock screen. I want to replace/change 1 or 2 of the standard shortcuts, I know I have done this before, but I can't seem to find how to do it in ICS?

Second, I'm currently using a third party screen widget for changing the sound profile on the phone (silent, vibrate, normal). Is there something new or a better way to change the profile in ICS?

Third, and this is more complaint and a warning than anything else. I just tried the Setting/Storage/Make More Space tool on my SD card. When you click it, on top you can see "Temporary files from HTC apps". I'm not sure how you read it guys, but my understanding was those are files that could be deleted without removing any other files, right? Since my "Temporary Files from HTC apps" was totaling over 3GB, I pressed it and guess what... it deleted all my music from the SD card!!!!

Thanks for reading and your help would be greatly appreciated,
rio

Hi guys,

Obvious no one had any help for me....

But I have managed to sort out the shortcuts on the lock screen! So if anyone is interested, here is how to do it:

ICS has the same 4 slots for shortcuts on the lock screen and on the home screen (2 each side of the All Apps Launcher). If you change your home screen shortcuts they will also appear on your lock screen.

Second, you can easily change your home screen shortcuts by drag&drop. You can also drop multiple apps on 1 slot, which creates a folder of shortcuts. They will still appear the same way on your lock screen!

I hope someone finds this useful, it was new to me.

RE your sound profile, Sense normally has a HTC widget that'll cycle between the three of them (under widgets->HTC Settings).

however I prefer to use the volume control on the side. If you go down step by step it gets quieter, then it goes totally silent, and then it goes to vibrate.

hope this helps.
