I would like the lock screen to display my name, maybe affiliation, and also an alternate means of contact, so that if I loose it or if I ever am in an accident, a good Samaritan has all the info they need.

For this purpose, and just otherwise too, Is it possible to add custom text to the lock screen?

Suggest:
Add a small paper-note under your backcover. Somebody has to inspect your phone, instead of just looking. But it works always, especially without energy from the battery.

okay sure.. But I think a message on the screen is something someone will see immediately.

Yes, of course it is possible.

You have already been suggested to check out the ICE app from Virgi, but you don't like patches and even Hoschi's suggestion is quite wild, but a fair idea nonetheless.

So, what are you expecting?, an application?, who from?, Jolla?

kat6 is a user from india (summer 2016), so he is probably new to jolla, don't be so hard on him/her.

@kat6: Using Patchmanager on Jolla/Meego is quite normal, I suggest you use Warehouse and install patchmanager, patch anager-app or settings-ui and the ICE.

Just do one thing - disable all patches during upgrades of the OS.

Would it be hard to make an app for the suggested function? ...one that would end up in the Jolla Store, that is?

Oh! Thanks! But I don't really want to use patches, though. So I think I will re-tag this post as a feature request. This seems like a simple & essential thing.

@kat6 I wonder what's your aversion to patching the UI?

maybe a duplicate, but at least related to this one https://together.jolla.com/question/113881/add-personal-note-option-to-lock-screen/, thus linking to it.

Hi, an Integration in Sailfish would be grat. The Openrepro App doesn't work anymore. To call a defined person without unlocking the phone. Or even a massage with gps and current snapshot of the cam in case some one get attacked.
