In reply to Thomas. umm, yeah. That's what I meant by saying "settings." I touched the upper right icon for "setup" and the "monitored applications" are limited to Mail, SMS, or IM Support. What am I missing?

In reply to Thomas.

Hmmm… thanks for the info… But I don't see how. On the main screen are native apps and IM settings. When I look under settings, I don't find an option for 3rd party apps.

What am I missing?

i initially use quickdo for a quick lock device, but i don't like it when the small status bar appear when i am on another app. Ditched it and use activator slide gesture. Not as obvious in springboard, at least it doesn't have the status bar showing up when i don't need it to.

In reply to bghuna. actually you can also use Notifier with 3rd party apps from the App Store. You just need to set it up in the Notifier settings.

I really like Notifier (though its icon displays as Reminder) as a way to get repeat tones of missed items & launch apps directly from the lockscreen. Its only limitation is it can only be used on the native apps of Mail, Phone, & Message.

I am very close to removing QuickDo as well but I like the quick launch from the lock screen. I have actually disabled all gestures and moved the bar to the bottom of the screen and changed its size to 0. This way I can use Activator from the Status Bar for everything else. This configuration seems to work well for the time being.

Anyone know of an app that will add shortcuts to the lock screen? If there is one, buh bye QuickDo.

Lots of QickDon't-ers here I guess. Shame – this was quite a nice app, but it needs to become much more reliable.

I also ditched QuickDo about two weeks ago, apart from the fact that it was very buggy, I just did not see a use for it anymore, I now use Dock for my favorite apps, and it's so much better because I can add many more apps, and it works in the lockscreen too. I tried Circuitous but I still think Dock is better.

Activator now has tons of new features, and if you install the beta from Ryan Petrich's repo, you can even get a new beta of SBSettings that supports Activator. (In other words, you don't HAVE to slide left or right on the status bar to open it up.)

In reply to sysrage. Ditto on the mQuickDon't. Pro Switcher? Hell yes

I ditched mQuickDo when Activator and ProSwitcher came out. Activator can assign any app (and now system event) you want to any gesture you want. ProSwitcher gives me quick access to the dock. I suppose if I wanted to be able to launch apps from the lock screen I'd need something like Circuitous, but I don't. There's just no need for mQuickDo anymore. Intelliscreen and mQuickDo are the only apps I've bought that I now regret. mQuickDo was at least useful for awhile. Intelliscreen has always been crap.
