Anyone else? Every 3rd party Lockscreen I've ever used on any TouchWiz phone all have the same behavior. Much of the time they work great. But randomly when It turn on my phone, it goes right to the desktop. No Lockscreen comes up.
And once in awhile, the stock lockscreen comes up instead of the 3rd party lockscreen.
And if I disable the stock lockscreen, then still, the 3rd party lockscreen won't come up once in awhile.
Anyone know of a way to make 3rd party lockscreens more reliable?
I've tried converting them to /system/app and it didn't help at all.
I'm currently using Locker Master (really neat) because it hides the status bar and I love that feature.
I also use Widget Locker Pro and some others such as C-Locker. All have the same issue. I had the same problem with my Galaxy S4 and probably phones before that.
Any suggestions?
I don't know. I use widget locker pro with root and it works like a charm. It doesn't work well for me without root though.

Thanks. What ROM do you use?
Hi All, this might be a dumb question but: If I install Nova, do I have to delete everything that came stock on the Sony launcher, like Movies, PlanyStation etc...all of the icons, widgets, etc... or do I leave them and just start new with Nova? Does that make sense? I just dont want to switch to Nova and all these widgets, icons etc from Sony still 'running' somewhere in the background. Thanks!

hahaaha a second me!
I was wondering the same thing, just for the sake of it I always remove all the icons that are on the stock launcher. Because if you think of it, it's not as if you turn the other launcher off, you're just using another one. And the difference probably won't be amazing, but it could count towards a better battery life lol. Or maybe we're just paranoid :silly::silly::good:
Thanks, ill do the same and remove them off Sony...no reason to have them out there
You don't have to remove anything from stock launcher. It won't run in the background. You can setup how many different launchers you want and switch between without that effecting battery.
Launchers like Nova don't mess with apps at all. They simply create a new skin -- a new way of seeing and accessing what's already on the phone. All the same Sony apps will still be there in the app drawer and they'll behave in exactly the same way as they would if you were using the Xperia Launcher or any other launcher (although Nova might change some of the icons for system apps like dialer, messaging, settings etc.). And if you uninstall apps through Nova they're uninstalled from the phone, period. So they will not be there even if you revert back to the Xperia Launcher.

Great info, ty!
Does anyone have suggestions for a lock screen app that I can put widgets on. I use zooper for the widgets. I have tried a few but they have a ton of ads. Also I use nova launcher and am happy with it but I like to change up things sometimes so does anyone have a suggestion for a third party launcher?
CLocker is fine, but the ads are annoying in the *free* version, so you should consider buying the full version.
I don't want the app suggestions at the top in the App drawer. Earlier it was possible to disable it from the settings of Google Now cards screen in earlier Moto devices, but I couldn't find any similar setting in this phone.
I don't wanna use any different launcher. If possible, do let me know where to find the settings to disable it.
Thanks.
get nova launcher
I believe those are recently used apps, not suggestions.
Now Launcher is awesome. Prime was just on sale for 99ยข.
The best feature is backup /restore of your home screens.
Hello, any one know of a solution to get OBN to not freeze with alternate Launchers (ie: Nova)
The quick switch to previous app, freezes when using non-stock Launcher.
Yes obviously I could just use Moto Launcher, but I am a fan of Nova Launcher.
Looking at Motorola's forum, I see this is also a problem with other launchers.
Thanks.
