If I slide up on the unlock screen it launches Google Now, all other directions take me to the home screen. Is there a way to assign aps to the other directions? If so where do I set that up?

I'd love to get an answer to this too. My brother has JB on his Razr it his launcher has shortcuts to 3 or 4 different things, so I know it is possible. Maybe someone over at XDA has an answer?

You could try something like WidgetLocker or Go Locker if you don't mind a third party locker app.

You need to be rooted and have a custom ROM installed. CyanogenMod10 has this feature.

There are also 3rd party apps that can replace your lockscreen, but they are too laggy for me.

I get the home screen on slide open. Are you sliding up or down? Up gives me GN down is the home screen.

Widget Locker looks like poo on the Nexus. I may have a setting issue but I couldn't get it to work. The clock interface is a widget on it's own so instead of it replacing the standard lock screen it gave me two tiny little boxes, one with the clock and google locker and one with widget locker. It's hard to describe, just trust me that it looks like poo. Better yet, try it yourselves and be amazed at the poo-ness of it.

I have basically stopped using WidgetLocker on my phone because for some reason it does not play nicely with my Electrify. I have been very happy with GO Locker though. With that said, I am running the stock locker on my N7 because I don't need quick access to the same apps as I use on the phone.
