Root [Virgin Mobile] Mod to allow 4 icons/shortcuts on lock screen?

Hey all. I was wondering if there was a mod, tweak, or normal solution to getting 4 icons/shortcuts on your lock screen. I accidentally deleted my fourth icon and can't re-add it.
 
System Settings>Lock Screen then just click on Lock screen options. There you can add or remove shortcuts.

I know about the Lock Screen options menu. That is how I deleted the 4th shortcut in the first place. For some reason, it will not allow me to add another shortcut. There should be a + next to the third icon, but it doesn't show up. I did a little research and found there was a mod that allowed you to do this on a Galaxy S II. Also came across someone mentioning that they could do this running the rooted stock ROM but not after flashing a new one. While I don't have a different ROM installed, I do have Jerry's MG5 patch and VaeVictus OC kernel flashed. Not sure if that would affect anything, but I do know it did mess with my ROM a bit as I have a new boot animation and audio. Maybe it changed some other stuff?
 
Well, I literally just tried to go into settings to try to see what you were talking about and I did the same thing.

I did the same thing. I restored one of my twrp backups and started over. Made a zip of all tweaks and things first and named it "my_update.zip". I Just restored my stock backup (I made one with the mg5 update in it) then flashed my_update.zip. I have a backup of my phone (just system and boot) I can give you my google drive link to. Has vaevictus kernal and just the scripts and tweaks from victorious (not deodexed system apps).
 
It was a backup I made before I got rid of them. It had all of them on it. It was the easiest way I could think for you to get them back.
 
I was just letting you know what else was in the backup. But I know for sure that it had all four icons in it. just wanted to let you know what else it had in it so you could make an informed decision whether or not you wanted it

So you have a zip of a rooted stock ROM with the VaeVictus or stock kernel? If so then ya I wouldn't mind getting a hold of it.

Have a quick question though: Would flashing Victorious allow me to do this or would the problem still persist?
 
I had the same issue after I deleted the 4th icon. I never used them anyways so I deleted another and then the plus sign showed up. I deleted the rest and the plus is still there. Not sure if there is a setting somewhere to increase that to 4 or not.

Not sure if victorious would bring them back. I was talking about my twrp backup of my system. Stock rom, vaevictus kernal. Also internal2externalsd. Few other tweaks.

My mistake. If you could share your backup I'd appreciate it. Anything special I would have to do on my end life remove links to apps in link2sd and the like?

Is there a way to safely remove internal2externalsd from the backup? Just curious as I was thinking of removing said mod to get a backup with Rooted Stock ROM and vaevictus kernel. Might be easier than wiping the phone completely to make a fresh backup and start over from scratch. If not anyone know of a backup of the stock ROM rooted floating around?
