screen lock programs (That Work all the time?)

so I have found like 200 programs that will change the lock screen for my Captivate .. but they are pretty useless.
I love LockBot but it only works about 20% of the time.. most of the time I get the standard lock screen witch does not have a separate background , and also not safe most of the time, seems to unlock itself too easy..
it seems that lockbot for example, only comes up a few times, then stops, and then starts working agian.. and i thought it was the app killer programs but I uninstlled ALL of them just to make sure that it was not the problem..
ideas.. tricks. help? is there a way to change the lock by something that has to do with root or something like that?
thanks

There's a free app in the Market called "No Lock." You could try using that to disable the stock Captivate lockscreen.

Widget locker + root + "no lock" = sexy lock screen replacement

I run NoLock, and it always works. Never had any issues with it. Only need to unlock when I reboot

the no lock thing works all the time, but any external lock program seems to stop working, and thats the problem.
but i reset my phone to default and it seems to be working fot the time, i have no idea what stoped it.. we will see.

This works for me, catches it about 95% of the time. Only difference is, I don't use no lock.

You don't use no lock? How do you deal with the occasional moments of stock lock screen?

GoTo Lockscreen

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.

This app is the bomb

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
Traced with Ultra Keyboard from my *Epic*

So I've been using this for a day now and I love it. Can change the shortcuts to similar apps, can unlock, doesn't make phone lag and it's only .99c

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.

What about the power consumption?
After 7 hours the battery is completely empty. This is not normal, right? ( HTC DESIRE HD )

[Q] Unlock screen

Hey guys,
I don't like the unlock screen of LG and want to uninstall it and then install another one like Simply Lockscreen or something else... I find the current LG screen slow, so that's why...
Somebody knows how to do this?
Thanks!

Why uninstall?
Just install goto lockscreen or whatever you like and make default. Stock never shows
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA Premium App

Is it possible to have none at all? Couldn't find it.

I think you can remove the apk with root explorer from system, but that is not within my knowledge... im having no problems with goto lockscreen though... disables stock, but you need to use GOTO lockscreen then

Tried to find the apk but dont know the name, I also want to remove the stock lockscreen

Just pull No Lock from Market, then you can toggle Lockscreen on off with a widget... Free and functional

i've just installed goto lockscreen but i've a problem, if the phone stay in standby for some minutes when i try to unlock with volume buttons don't function and i must use the power buttons. there's a solution?!
sorry for my bad english.

Your English is good.
I have the same problem with WidgetLocker... no solution...

I tried this app, Screen Tools 1, able to disable the lockscreen & it is able to activate itself during power up.

Is there any way to totally remove the default lock screen and use the stock android one? I hate it cause i can‘t use 3rd party messaging app as it will always show how msgs i have on it and need to enter into the default messaging to clear it..

Sigh.. what I really want is just a vanilla android froyo or ginger on my x2.. is that so hard to wish for??? OK guys, sorry for the rant..

Screen Timeout \ Sceern Lock window.

Hi ALL,
I know this is Galaxy S I9003 Android Development but since we do not have saperate Section I am posting here.
I have Two issues
1. I have selected "None" for Screen lock in Settings-> Location and Security. still i see this ( <<<<<xxxxxx>>>>> ) type of screen lock some time after time out. I want to remove this. My phone is rooted and on XXKB33.
2. I usally set Screen Time out at 15 Seconds. It automatically goes to 1 Minute.. What can be the issue.? I use LockMenu Where i have set time out as 15 secs.
can anyone pls help me resolving these?
thanks
JoyMoro

For the first issue the only way to change the lockscreen to default android lockscreen is to modify system files... look at my other post with vanilla lockscreen.....

Here you can not deactivate the screen lock. You can only change security settings like password, PIN or pattern lock. If you select none, you will not be asked to input any of those after sliding the screen to open it. But lock screen will still be there.

The responsability of screen lock is android.policy.jar and framework-res.apk... maybe try to restore again that files... one question... have you tried app from market that enable lock screen like: screen off and lock? (I'm not sure about the correct name). Another question.... but the lock-unlock button works?

{Q} How to completely disable Lock Screen?

Is there a way to completely disable the slide to lock screen everytime the screen times out?
It tends to get annoying time to time and also since I use a Folio case, I would like to just open the cover, press the power and it be ready to use.

No and this will not been changed.
I installed another options which lock and screen off with the sensor but still the screen lock pop-up.

look into the market for app called ( Keyguard Disable )

No lock from the market is the best, or if you flash cm7 there's an option to disable it.

I am using Antilock-simple and serves the purpose....

like natious, no lock works great for me.

I believe some of the other apps stop the tab from sleeping

Gonna give no lock a try...thank you for the suggestions

Glad i found this thread. Just installed No Lock and glad

yea, i download no lock as well, i like the icon and simplicity of it. Works great.

Agree with you all-i've been using no lock since I came to Android- simply the best.

Lockscreen
Hey guy's I've found that nolock does work, but it also shut off the availability of any other Play Store alternatives. I found that freezing or deleting the sprint OMADM.apk will disable stock and also alow any after market lockscreens such as holo's to work, only thing is the pin or password, or face unlock.
