Is there a way to completely disable or remove the screen lock function?
I have no need for a screen lock and the power button is perfectly sufficient.
I have tried
Dial "*#*#7594#*#*" -> Check shutdown. - removes the power menu
Apps like NoLock - not totally reliable
I think that services.jar is the place to look. Since so many roms have added extra lock screens it cant be that hard to remove them all.
Any suggestions would be welcome, though a CWM update that kills them off would be much better.
On JVQ atm.
Thanks
Dont think that is what your looking for but in crysis rom there is an option to disable lockscreen.

Hi all,
Is there an app out there that allows track ball wake to lock screen?
I tried "No Lock" but after with the "Locking Enabled" I can't wake with the trackball.
I also tried "LockBot", which goes to it's custom slider lock screen; however, if it's password lock screen is enabled, trackball won't wake the phone.
What I am looking for is just purely trackball/volume wake, and sliding or password (if enabled) lock screen remains unchanged.
Is there such an app out there (free coz I can't access paid market)?
And is there a widget that can just off the screen?
Thanks.
p/s- my power button no longer works.
I use Lock Enabler to sleep the screen, and Quick Boot for restarts, boot in recovery, etc

Get LockMyDroid from the market.
It was a casual app developed by someone here on XDA. No trackball lock, but long press of search. You get used to it, trust me.
Alternatively you can put a shortcut to it on your homescreen.
Thanks for the comments.
Still doesn't work for me because pressing the trackball doesn't take me to the slider screen.
If you have Cyanogenmod then you can go in settings and set it to where you can wake the screen by pressing trackball.
Best lock screen app I've tried is Lock Now. Haven't had any issues with it - really worth the investment (I'm not the developer ).
What ROM are you running? If it's stock or a largely stock based ROM (MCR for example) you can apply this patch: Link. Basically this will enable trackball wake without any programs.

There's the problem. Most all custom roms will do exactly what you want.
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

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

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

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..

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.
swyped from a galaxy far far away
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.
For someone with no security concerns, it is pretty safe to disable the lockscreen without any risk of but dialing.
From what I searched in the forums, this can be done in two ways:
1 - Phone -> *#*#7594#*#* -> Check shutdown, which works perfectly, easily reversible, no coding, but has the undesirable side effect of also disabling the extended power menu.
2 - Some tools like NoLock that you can easily find in the market, however you get another icon in the notification bar, and sometimes the lockscreen still shows up.
I was wondering if there is a way to disable the lockscreen without these weird sideeffects, either with a modified framework (like $omator's way to change the icons), or with a script.
Thank you in advance
I am using Simplicity's ROM, based on STOCK, so I don't have that option from CM7
This may very well sound silly, and maybe its because im using CM7.1 but there is a setting in location and security... no lockscreen
Is it there for you? or does that not work?
NoLock's widget doesn't have any notification space used or wasted, and it works 99% if the time for me... *shrugs*

i am searching for an app that make 100% the same when i push the hardware power button.
i have tried many apps/widgets, most switch to the look-screen and 15 sec later the screen goes off.
I want the phone goes immediately off (no 1,2 or more seconds later)
exact the same as the hardware power off.
Rom is original .906, rooted
And yes, under Settings/Security the "set up screen lock" is set to "none" !
please help!
Are you looking for a widget that will lock the screen without you pressing the power button, or an app that disables the stock lock screen altogether, so that if the screen's off and you hit Power it goes straight to your home screen? Both exist, I've used both and they work for me on the stock ROM.

Power ON without screenlock: have it
Power OFF without lockscreen: i search for it. All apps i tried shows the lock-screen and 15 sec. later the phone goes off. I want the phone off in 0 seconds with an app.
Not sure that's possible. You're basically looking for an app that will instantly sever the link to the battery. It would need to be a rooted app, and it would be very dangerous.

I think I understand what you are looking for.
Are you looking for a way to turn off your phone without unlocking the phone?
If so, you can install a lockscreen replacement app such as Widget Locker. Then, even if your phone is locked, you may hold the power button and it will bring up the option to turn off your phone.

on my moto pro i have this working with an app (works not on the d3) .. root are
no problem ... i need only an good app
On the moto pro the app called: lock and screen off widget (1.0.1)
but on the d3 this app shows the lock-screen ... not off (the screen goes off but the phone only 15 sec. later)
1 app that makes the same as the power button for switch off the phone! (The same !!!)
After a lot of searching the web for this kind of app I've finally this thread and was pretty disappointed that there is no solution to this problem! All the existing apps basically fall into one of the two following categories.
1. "Lock togglers" - apps/widgets that upon starting them enable/disable the lockscreen.
2. "Screen lockers" - apps/widgets that upon starting them turn screen off and lock it regardless if the lock screen is turned of by an app of the (1) category.
What we need here is a app which can turn screen off while respecting lock screen policy.
The quest continues....
I think what you're looking for may be in the aosp cm9. There's a toggle in the notification bar the turns off the screen. Try that out if you're wanting to try a different rom.

I just saw the app Elixir 2 mentioned on AndroidCentral.com today. It looks like this has a screen-off toggle widget.

Phone can be unrooted. You do need a widget add-on and an add-on that gives admin permissions for the screen off toggle.
