Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone had any idea how to disable the Samsung lockscreen? I just upgraded to JM2 and the new Samsung lockscreen is actually quite annoying.
I'm thinking of using Widget Locker as my new lockscreen but sometimes you still get "flashes" of the Samsung lockscreen in the background (and other times the Samsung one just completely overrides the default lockscreen).
It would be nice to be able to disable it altogether.
No Lock
http://www.appbrain.com/app/org.jraf.android.nolock
Yeah for older firmwares i could unlock the phone by swiping about halfway through the screen but with jm2 i have to like like 3/4+ for it to unlock, much more inconvenient
I found the name GlassLockScreen in Logcat. And now im workin on removing it...
And its not in /system/app
I would love to be able to use the standard Eclair lock screen
Looks like this is an overwrite. Cuzz there is no VanillaLockScreen apk of any kind on the ROM...
P.S. Im working on a costum ROM, and i will enable VanillaLockScreen.
Sigh...just flashed the phone twice over the last two day. Would be good if we can enable the default lockscreen without reflashing?
The device is rooted so replacing system files will not be an issue...
Working on it. Dont have much time, but ill try unpack the rom today and check if this could be done. Not sure cuzz oz the notifications and alarm on the lockscreen..
Anything new?
If you already found sth, pls post it, then i can search too..
Want to kill this damn lockscreen..
The png' for the lock-screen is located in framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi
The latest version is way worse than the stock. Lets hope there is away to enable stock android lock-screen.
I dont have such a path/folder...

that's in /system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/*.png
Ty
So currently i am downloading the I9000 sources, to look where/when the pngs are loaded..
Ok, so this is what i found out..
I downloaded the opensource sw from samsung but i didnt find where the unlock pictures are loaded (used grep to search threw files).
Then i started adb logcat and this are the outputs when you enable the lockscreen:
D/GlassLockScreen( 2253): GlassLock onPause
.....
D/GlassLockScreen( 2253): GlassLock onResume
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And i thought the id, is the pid and this pid is currently this
2253 1000 322m S system_server
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I dont think it would be a good idea to kill this process
So i guess the /system/bin/system_server
and /system/lib/libsystem_server.so have sth todo with it..
Either it starts the a process for the lockscreen or it has the lockscreen in it..
Because in the libsystem is this
system_init.startsurfaceflinger
System server: starting Android services.
com/android/server/SystemServer init2 System server: entering thread pool.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Maybe it is just a starting service..
Any updates on this?
I really liked the vanilla lockscreen with option to set volume to off but more importantly the vanilla contains things like alarm time and minutes left to alarm.
Anyone with any info?
Regards
/Fredrik
I use a pattern unlock for this very reason
Is it possible just to revert the glass screen unlock behaviour back to june time firmwares? where you only had to drag over half the screen? I'd be happy with that! (altho a fully functioning vanilla lockscreen would be cool too!)
If you want to completely disable the lockscreen without any apps for it.
Phone -> *#*#7594#*#* -> Check shutdown.
No more lockscreen for you. Oh and when u restart, there will be no PIN prompt as well untill you uncheck Shutdown, and then lock , wait 3 seconds, unlock, enter PIN, go back, Enable shutdown again.
i want to get rid of the lock also, although i am using nolock at the moment

This disable the shutdown screen. But I guess that will not help me if I want the vanilla screen? Even if I install an apk (if there is one) It will be disabled to?

Hey guys!
I'm wondering on how to remove the TouchWiz lockscreen because I'm about to use Lockbot wich act buggy with TW Lockscreen, it shows the TW Lockscreen before switching over to Lockbot.
Is there an APK somewhere i can remove to get rid of TouchWiz lockscreen (the one with the puzzle sliding etc.) ?
Thanks in advance masters!
Im in a similar predicament, i actually am using a passcode right now so it doesnt look like touchwiz

Thank you for your reply, the problem is I cannot use Lockbot now because the TW Lockesreen messes it up. Also on Exlair (Android 2.1) it is not possible to set up a passcode, FroYo is needed for that plus this won't fix my Lockbot issue either. I alreafy did some diging in the APK folders but couldn't really sort it out. You are on FroYo I believe? It is possible to set a SIM pincode but that doesnt help aswell.
PEACE!
The free app NoLock will remove your lockscreen entirely, if you press power/home to wake your phone it will immediately be unlocked. There are several apps on the market to replace your lockscreen with a different style but in my experience these aren't completely satisfying - sometimes the original lockscreen appears for a splitsecond, other times they're just not as responsive and may take a second longer for you to unlock the phone.
Regardless, just try searching the market for 'lockscreen' and see what you find. WidgetLocker is pretty good but not free.
Indeed I am on Froyo, I wasn't aware it isn't available on eclair. Well, if anyone else finds further development besides market apps that seem to slightly lag please help out!

This is exacly my problem, LockBot is one of these tools, it shows the default TW Lockscreen for a second before switching to LockBot Lockscreen, this is exacly why i want the TW Lockscreen removed
Oh and thanks for thinking with me
Download SGS INFO on the forum here install and run the app selecting set powerbutton action. Select the tickbox and this will permantly disable the lock screen until you select otherwise.
The beauty if this is that it doesnt use a 3rd party app to do this just provides a shortcut to hidden options within the SGS.
Hope this helps.

You can also easily revert back to the stock lock (...and two smoking barrels! ) screen by modifying the code in /system/framework/android.policy.odex.

i installed the app. but when i choose set powerbutton action, i have only this one on the list :
shutdown: enable to shutdown on end call long press.
thats not right or ?
which code must i enter to disable lockscreen.
and would it be the same code to reactivate the stock lock screen ?

when i tick off the shutdown option, then 3 things happen:
1. the question if i really want to shut down my phone is gone. (i think this is the real action, what it does)
2. when i restart my phone, the sim card is not accepted, its even not asked for pin. i tried 3 times, so its not working
3. the lockscreen is gone.
so i need an other option, maybe i will deinstall it completly.

Most of the times these apps don't work together with apps such as LockBot for getting another lockscreen. Will try it out tho, thanks for the heads up

Had never heard of this app until today and I love it... Thought I'd give it a mention.
It's a complete lockscreen replacement.
does it feel as smooth as the standard lock screen? or does it cause some lag?

I haven't noticed any lag.
The only downside in my opinion, so far, is that the gmail icon counter only shows the count of your primary account. Hopefully they enhance that to show counts of multiple accounts soon.
The biggest down side about apps like this is its not a true replacement for the lock screen.. It is just an app that runs over top of the default one.. I bought widgetlocker and now dont use it. I will sometimes see the stock lock screen or it wont have lag when locking it.. I tried GoTo and its about the same..
I came from the iPhone and used intelliscreen which just added stuff to the default lock screen.. Was amazing.. Wish someone could come up with the same type of mod for the android lock screen.. =[

Testing more, the only time I ever see the normal lockscreen is if I enable the option to disable the volume/camera buttons. I reported it, not sure what they'll do about it.
That said, I don't actually want that option enabled so I never see the normal lockscreen in my real use.
I also still have not run into any lag, but I guess that will vary based on a zillion different factors from person to person.
You're right though, I wish that things like this could be true replacements.
Theres a way to disable the lock.screen on htc devices but that's cause its a .apk with some digging around I'm sure someone can disable the tw lock screen. Doing so would allow you to use the app without the stock lock screen showing up. Not to sure about lag thought

That'd be cool... I'll have to search around.
I need to use the phone for a bit longer and test more, but I went into Titanium and froze TWLauncher and I am no longer getting the normal lockscreen, even if I disable GOTO, so I think it is gone.
I do see the normal lockscreen very briefly if I reboot the the phone, but it goes away in a split second and I don't see it again unless I reboot again.
Perhaps that is all that is needed.

Nevermind... that SEEMED to work for a little bit, but now if I have the disable volume/camera option enabled I see the normal lockscreen for a split second again. It goes away quickly, but it does appear.
That said, I still never see it at all if I don't enable the disable volume/camera option.
Ok, I installed NoLock (free in the Market) and disabled the lockscreen with it and that works. I see the normal lockscreen very briefly upon a reboot, but never again after that.
I tested a bit longer this time before saying so, lol.
This thing works flawlessly for me. Sometimes my fat fingers have a hard time stopping on the text message one, but that is user error.
Goto is awesome... it even ran with no lag on my hero

I've also been using it for a day now, and it's a really nice app!
Been seeing the regular homescreen quite a few times though, will try to disable the "enable the disable volume/camera option"' option...
yeah as someone else said you have to use nolock (market) with any lockscreen app but i've heard that it does make it pretty flawless
You can do this and it's probably easier to change your lockscreen over and over, but you can navigate the system, or apply a new theme which either way can change the system files. Someone more knowledgeable than me can chime in as to what you need to do, I'm not sure if you can delete it and disable it that way or if it just puts something else up instead, but I definitely know you can theme the lockscreen because I have seen different ROM's have different lockscreens.
Thanks for.posting this app. Its pretty good.

alright so i just got darky 9.3, great rom, love the newly added call recording feature.. uhm i dont know what i did to cause this, but for some reason my lockscreen seems to have completely dissapeared. it can lock to the screen off mode, but when i unlock it, i dont see any lockscreen, it just goes right back to my homescreen, or whatever app i had opened before i locked it
any ideas what might have caused this? or how i can fix this WITHOUT having to reflash the rom, and lose all my settings?

So I have 4.3, and ever since, when the phone starts into Android, there is always a lock screen where you have to swipe the lock in the center away to get to the home screen. I want to disable this so that it simply boots into the home screen. I'm fairly certain to do this I'll need to edit my build, I'm just wondering exactly what I need to edit to accomplish this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I don't know if this helps, but i accidentaly found this "glitch" that lets my phone without the lockscreen and enter the phone just by pressing the power button
I installed Windows 8 Lock Screen app from Play Store, I checked it to be the default locker, but after that, after I played around with it, I decide not to keep it active and I unchecked the "Default Locker option". After this, apparently, I have no lock screen whatsoever... Just press the power button and the phone is unlocked

Actually, this issue only came up once I installed the 401 5.5 4.3. My native is developer 1540 4.3, which does not have this. Good to know it's most likely a sense 5.5 addition, as I can request the next toolbox include an option to disable this.
Edit: For those interested, I seem to have found a happy accident that exploits the lockscreen coming up every time the phone goes dark. By installing the Windows 8 Lockscreen app from the play store, setting it as the default lockscreen, utilizing it a few times, then disabling it, when I restarted the phone, the only time the lockscreen came up was during the initial startup. Nothing after that. The power button got me directly to the homescreen. I also have no lock installed with locking disabled. Obviously, all it would take is a simple xposed module or app to isolate this and get it to the masses, but for now, this seems to work for me. I hope it works for you as well.

Hey XDA'ers,
I just picked up my N6 a few days ago.. I've been on Nexus devices after I gave up on the Galaxy S3. Never looked back! (Except for my CM12 LG G3 )
So here is my question to you all. Has anyone created or integrated app/code that once your face is recognized, unlock to home screen without a swipe? I was comparing the iOS finger unlock with my fam this weekend and it would be nice not to swipe up even though your face has been recognized.
If its not implemented, I can donate some money for someone to create something like that if plausible. Maybe a bounty if others are interested.
Thanks for taking a look!
Is that not the default behavior when you select face unlock as your security? I haven't used it in a little while however I am sure that is how it works. Turn on phone, look at it, boom home screen.

Nope. I use face unlock right now. Once it recognizes your face, it allows you to swipe up. It didn't automatically unlock.
Couldn't this pose a risk of unlocking when unintended? Perhaps you just want to see notifications on the lock screen quickly and see if you actually want to unlock and act? Or what about changing the track in the lock screen music player?

I see your point, however if someone were to make an app or bake it into a ROM, there could be a "hold off for __ seconds" before it checks for a face and goes to home screen. For instance, you could make it zero if you want immediate unlock, 10 seconds to check notifications. And if you didn't want to unlock and just check notifications, you would just hit the icon so it stays locked until you swipe up at that point (how it is with 5.0 at the moment.

Then I would be too impatient when I want to skip the lock screen and just swipe anyway - defeating the purpose. Swipe is faster than wait 10 seconds to auto-unlock.

Bump because I want this, I can't figure how to do something like this with tasker.
What I want:
Condition: Lockscreen locked with pattern, trusted face enabled and triggered.
Scenarios:
1. Notifications present? Remove pattern but allow me to swipe to unlock when I'm ready. (Current behaviour)
2. No notifications? Go straight to homescreen without any interaction as soon as my face is detected. (New behaviour)

I've been trying every combination of tasker and secure settings I can think of, but there's no way I can detect when smart lock is triggered with the built-in settings.
http://nelenkov.blogspot.com/2014/12/dissecting-lollipops-smart-lock.html
I read that, and there seems to be a per-user trusted flag that's edited by smart lock, if tasker somehow could read it, we could trigger actions with it.
There problem is I don't know where the flag is or how to read it, I'm a bit out of my league here, maybe you are more knowledgable in this matter.
Take a look at the Stock LG G2/3/4 ROMs, this is their default Face Unlock behavior. I came from the G2 and am having withdrawals, partially because of this feature.
