From these lines we have already given some clues in order to be able to customize the Samsung Galaxy S4 until it is to our liking. We have indicated how to configure the user accounts that we have in various services and social networks, how to adjust the functions of the terminal through downloadable applications and how to set the ringtones and notifications as we want. In the advance to make our Samsung Galaxy S4 unique for its appearance and functionality, you have to stop on the lock screen.
Something that is available to us on any smartphone is the possibility of changing the background image of the screen that appears when we start the activity of the terminal after a period of rest in lockdown. But this is not what we will talk about this time. The Samsung Galaxy S4 displays a message accompanying the time and date data. This message is not fixed, but we can modify it, and not only in terms of its content, but also in terms of the typeface, color and background tone. As usual, there are several ways to reach our destination. In that case, there are two ways to modify the personal message on the lock screen.
The first formula that we can follow for this takes us to the system settings menu, which we can access by pressing the capacitive button to the left of the start key or by unfolding the notification curtain and selecting the icon of the small gear that there is in the upper right margin. Once inside, we point to the "My device" tab and there we click on "Lock screen". When we have done so, we will go to a menu among whose options we will distinguish one that indicates "Lock screen widgets". We will then see that the third option indicates "Edit personal message".
Thus, we would have already accessed the editing panel. The other method to get here is more subtle, but also more direct. Having the Samsung Galaxy S4 locked, we press the home key or the side power button to bring it out of its slumber, which activates the lock screen. If we click on the personal message and slide our finger down completely, a couple of icons will appear, one of which shows a small pencil. Let's click there and access the same editing panel that we found before.
At this point, we can tweak the three parameters we alluded to a few lines ago. By clicking on the message itself we will have the option to write a new and concise message. Below the date and time we will find the three customization options. The first changes the color, the second adds a background tone to the message and the third allows you to change the typeface among five available possibilities. By the way, from this panel we will verify that we can also select if we want the time and date to appear or not on the lock screen. Once we have modified everything to our liking, all we have to do is press save for the changes to take effect instantly.
