homescreen

It's been now a long time since I try to figure out how to develop a android unlock screen app working with an NFC authentication. I am working with a Nexus S. After several researches on the Internet, I came to the conclusion that replacing the lock screen as a third party app is just not supported right now and that we need to modify the platform to do a decent implementation. This is the reason why I developed an home screen app that give the illusion of an unlockscreen app. But my problem is that I would like to be redirect to the default laucher at the end of the procedure. I first tried

I want my user to input something on the homescreen, but every time I add an Edittext to the widget it breaks. I did a little google searching to find that they apparently are not supported in widgets. There is a Google Search widget with an input field on every android phone though, so I am wondering if there is any way to have one in my widget.

I've seen some other posts about iOS 6's new behaviors with Web sites saved to / launched from the home screen. On iOS 5 (and earlier), we were able to use the Javascript History function for our in-app back button. In iOS 6, however, it works if you've only been to one page in the site. But if you have more than one page that you've visited, it throws a page-not-found error. It works fine in Safari (not from the homescreen), and it works if I remove the <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" /> tag. But then I get the ugly browser chrome that I'm trying to avoid. I've seen
