I have done a bit of research on the subject and yet my question remains unanswered. How do I disable the Amazon Kindle lockscreen - yet enable the GoLocker lockscreen (or any custom lockscreen for that matter)?
I was informed by another user to download an app called No Lock. It works well and fine - but it only disables the lockscreen completely. I wanted to take full advantage of GoLocker's cool themes.
If anyone has any further development on this issue - please indulge. Thank you.

If you are rooted install go locker by putting the go locker apk in your sys apps folder and change permissions to rw-r-r and install then restart. Works great the only time the kindle lockscreen pops up is at reboot but then go locker takes over.

I know many people here have reported lag associated with the stock lockscreen that comes with the device. I was curious to know that if anyone has tried a new lockscreen and seen better results? Such as installing a vanilla AOSP lockscreen in place of the blur one and see if it makes any difference?
I dont know if the lockscreen is an actual .apk you can change out easily or not, as i have not poked around myself, but i do know that when i owned my incredible many people were switching out there sense lockscreens for vanilla ones and it didnt seem like a big deal
+1 for this question / desire. I too would like to switch out the lockscreen (and indeed some other APKs/items) for "stock" if possible...
Well, I'll tell you this. I use ADW launcher and have not noticed any lag at the lock screen. I've also seen others using custom launchers that also have said they notice no lag.
I've used adw and launcher pro and still have lag on the lock screen on 2.2

Go look up Widget Locker. It's a sexy lockscreen widget that removes lag COMPLETELY (it actually disables the android lockscreen and you use it instead. Works fansmic, allows tons of widgets on it, including shortcuts to your favorite apps fast, and security locks.
$1.99 in market - search widget locker.
The only thing with Widget Locker -- in my experience -- is that turning on the phone sometimes shows the default lockscreen for a second before fading into widget locker.
Does the home button bypass widget locker?

No lag using flyscreen either.

If you disable screen lock in Location & Security in the settings, you don't get that issue anymore.
I had the same gripe about it until I found that option to uncheck.

I didn't find the option to disable screen lock, but I turned it off using extended controls widget, which should have the same effect. Either way, thanks for the tip!
Not that this has anything to do with your op but htc does not make the droidx as per your signature. Thought you might want to know.

I don't have this option, but I downloaded "No Lock" from the marketplace and it works great with Flyscreen. (I'm using the Froyo leak posted recently)
hi, i'd like to know a way to change lockscreen
i've tried market software, as go locker and magic locker,
the first one, sometimes makes original lockscreen to appear
the second one, makes wake on a little slower
i know the best would be widget locker, but why spend 2 euros, when there isn't a 100% guarantee default locker won't appear? (in some comments on market, people say sometimes it appears)
using one of those software with a software like "no lock" or those who disable default screen, would be a good idea? there could be conflicts?
isn't there a way to eradicate lockers from framework, so problem is resolved, and those software can be used without problems?
(for what i have understood they add the lock effect to the launcher, so without a lockscreen would appear launcher directly)
i was also searching for a guide to make a customized default locker... but it seems an hard argument to find something on... couldn't find any guide on this particular problem...
i'm not just talking about wallpaper, those can be changed easily, talking about adding links to apps (dont think it would be difficult to copy the slider for unlocking, and make it an apk link or similar)
probably my searches are wrong, but i always found tutorials on how using market software like widget locker etc...
we can change anything in android, is lockscreen that hard to customize????????
thanks for replys
If you are rooted and using a CM7 based rom you can disable the default lockscreen completely so you won't have that problem widgerlocker is the best thing to use for what you are wanting. Go locker is what I use but they are still working on it and don't have custom app links

How, exactly? Would it apply to MIUI, too, which I understand is CM based?
Would this give me the option to unlock the screen only with a pattern, rather than with the MIUI unlocker first and then with a pattern?
Thanks
In CM7 you can go into CM settings--> tablet tweaks and check disable lockscreen ... I couldn't tell you about MIUI because it isn't available on my phone As far as disabling the lockscreen and still using a pattern to unlock I don't know what would happen because I don't use the pattern unlock .

I have a (rooted) P7-L10 running the latest update (2.3). I am unable to enable lockscreen widgets through Settings: Security as there is no such option available. Consequently, I am unable to install any lockscreen widgets. In fact, the only lockscreen option is the Huawei Unlock with no additional lockscreen pages, and no '+' sign to add any widgets, etc.
Any help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated as I am extremely interested in using DashClock (especially with DashNotifier).
Thank you in advance for any guidance.

I just checked and when the option should appear if the "Huawei Unlock" method is used. The option doesn't appear if you use something else (at least not on my phone).
Where does the option to enable lockscreen widgets appear for you when Huawei Unlock is selected? I have it enabled as well, and cannot find te option anywhere.

just under, in the "security" panel. I wish I could post pictures but I ****ed up by deleting the systemui.apk and I'm waiting for someone to upload his so I could fix my phone.
Thank you for your replies. I guess it is just somehow missing from my system as there is no such option in the security panel no matter what unlocking option I choose.
If you or anyone else knows how I can get the option back, it would be greatly appreciated.

Use an other theme. For exemple, I use paper rhyme and I have this option. But you can't have widget as default, you have to switch everytime on lockscreen :/
It is probably caused by Nova Launcher which I am really like and do not want to give up.
Any way, I have moved on to Plan B, and installed KK Locker, which is working out really well.
Thank you both for trying to help...

I am using Nova Launcher and Widgets in the lock screen are working. Are you using the right procedure? After enabling in the Setting > Security > thick, in home screen swipe DOWN until you see a padlock icon at the bottom THEN swipe to left or right and you can add the Widget!
That's the whole problem Sergiopi; there is no 'Enable Lockscreen WIdgets" option in my Security settings panel for me to check.
I get the exact lock sign you mentioned in my main lockscreen only after I install and use KK Locker. Otherwise, no widget option and no lock upon swipe down.
Thank you!

Thank you Nomaro; that was it. The stupid 'Balance' theme disables lockscreen widgets and forces its own "Magazine Lock' on the lockscreen. I changed the theme as you suggested, and voila! the option to enable widgets showed up.
Thank all those who tried to help.
glad you got it working!
now a little question about widgets:
can one of you tell me how to remove the main widget (the clock) or use another widget as the "main page" for the lock screen? I can't find anything working on the internet as everything I found just tells we to "click" it and delete it by swiping up like for a widget on the home screen, except it doesn't work.
help please ^^
I had/have the same problem. I figured out that I need to change theme of lockscreen, but no widgets seem to be working, anyways, only those of system apps.
I just noticed my lockscreen weather widget is not there anymore. Enabling additional information weather in the settings changes nothing. I am rooted on the stock rom. I may have unintentionally deleted the app that runs that widget while trying to clean up the clutter installed from the factory. Can anyone tell me what the app (or apps) is called that runs the lockscreen so I can check? Or maybe provide the stock apk for it? Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply. I installed both those apps again and the weather still does not appear on the lockscreen. I have rebooted and toggled the additional information setting but still nothing. Any other ideas on how to get it back?

BLU r1 hd 16/2 rooted & debloated V8.3 rom
Good day, I've noticed that while using an MP3 player I'm able to manipulate the lockscreen by displaying the album art. I'm guessing it's the same route that the Amazon ads used.
Are there any apps just for wallpapers that I can use to have a lockscreen wallpaper that's different from the home screen? Or has anyone developed any alternative way to change the lockscreen wallpaper?
Would really appreciate the help! Thanks!
I do not know of a native way to change the wallpaper on the stock lockscreen but if you aren't opposed to using a third party lockscreen, then just download one from the playstore. I currently use zui lockscreen on my BLU R1 HD. It works great and you can customize the lockscreen wallpaper to whatever you want. Just remember if you do decide to use a third party lockscreen, then you will have to disable your system lock/password/pin. Set system lock to swipe.

Yes that works but then you end up with a double lockscreen. You have to unlock custom locker and still swipe the stock locker. Which by the way still loads notifications and it just looks weird.
How do the MP3 players do it and how did Amazon? They kept the transparent stock lockscreen but displayed an image behind it.

Actually, I do not have that double lockscreen issue, at all. My current lockscreen operates as though it is the native lockscreen. Although, it would be interesting to know how the issue at hand was implemented by BLU/ Amazon. I however am just a user of cellphones, not a programmer or anything. You should try ZUI Locker and see if it does give you that double lockscreen. BTW, I'm rooted and de-bloated so I don't know if your phone still has ads being displayed. If you still have the ads, then you may still get that double lockscreen you mentioned.

you don't have the double lock screen? Is your Blu the prime version that you rooted? Can you set your stock lockscreen to "none" or just "swipe"?
I'm not seeing any ads at all anymore it's just the stock lockscreen just remained. I unlocked and rooted using @mrmazak tutorial. Which one did you use?
Edit - I tried ZUI Locker like you suggested and it WORKED!! I'm in shock. This is the first one that has managed to get rid of the stock lockscreen. Thanks a lot!
