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?

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

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.
lockscreen wallpaper

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?

I want to completely disable the regular slide lock, and use pattern lock only. I downloaded the "No Lock" app from the market but this disables both the slide lock and the pattern lock. I want to remove the slide lock and retain the pattern lock. The slide lock provides no phone security if someone walks by and picks it up, and with the pattern lock enabled you have to do do both it and the slide which is kind of a pain in the ass. My old Samsung Moment didn't need to do both...I could just pick one or the other. Any suggestions are appreciated.
With just pattern unlock enabled you don't have to slide to unlock too..I have pattern enabled and I'm not sliding as well..no need for a separate app
/Droid3
I've been unable to come up with that. How do I disable the slide-lock? Everytime I enable the pattern lock, I still have to complete the slide-lock and then do the pattern as well.
Which ROM?

Just stock right now. I do have the device rooted but I haven't had a chance to get recovery installed and go to a ROM (Just got it friday)
Ah. Try a custom ROM. That may get what you want.

I'm on cm9 if that helps lol
/Droid3
CM9 still has the same issue as far as having to pull the slider across the screen and entering the passcode/pattern. The only other option available on CM9 is the keyboard slide unlock, but I don't think that will help him either.
I don't think there is a way to get to the pattern/passcode screen without pulling the slider across the screen first to let the system know that you want to unlock the phone. Pressing the unlock button on the top of the phone still takes you to the screen to pull the slider. As far as I know this is standard for not only stock android, but all of the ROMs as well.
I use the app NoLock from the market to disable my lockscreen (stock ROM), but enabling pattern lock forces me to use the lockscreen as well. I wonder why the one is dependent on/tied to the other.

That is a complete lie because here I am without the slide to unlock..not trying to start a war but all I know is I had slide to unlock on..kept having the phone slide open in my pocket so I switched to a more secure lock. (Pattern) and now all I have to do is the pattern unlock..unless my one phone is a freak among freaks, you are wrong

Wow, okay. My comment was based solely on personal experience with the android software. I'm not a dev, but I've been rooting my android and using custom roms since the Original G1 came out, and I've never seen an unlock screen that doesn't have a slider. I'm not calling you a liar, but in my experience, Custom ROM or stock, I've always had to drag the slider across the screen to get to the pattern unlock.
I removed my pattern lock because I hated having to both pattern and slide. I imagine there is a file somewhere we can edit to fix this. Anyone know what files/apk controls the lock screens

Well, would you mind explaining how you got it to work like that then? Obviously I've never seen it work like that, and the OP can't get it to work either.
My previous phone, a Samsung Moment didn't require the slide and pattern lock both together, I could enable either one stand alone. It was a custom rom and was 2.3 based. Other than that I don't have much more info...
Instead of No Lock, try No Lock Screen. Similar functionality. I used it when I just had Go Locker. By default, one would have to unlock go locker, unlock android slide unlock, then enter the pattern. No Lock Screen effectively removed the default lock screen and kept the pattern.

try "Unlock with Wifi"
however, this only works when you are connected to the set wifi

I go into security..hit lock or lockscreen (or whatever its called)..then change to pattern..put in my pattern then voila I'm done..I don't do anything special its just what happens..its what happened on all my other phones too so idk what you guys are doing different
/Droid3
Any progress on this? I'm using default CM9 as well and face the same issue. However, on some ROMs which are based on CM9 I do not have to slide and use pattern together.
Same issue here
This has annoyed me A LOT since i bought my Droid 3. For what i read, it is embeded inside motorola software, that slide to unlock feature cannot be removed. We are used to see Samsungs, where the its possible to set the only unlock mode to pattern or pin... well... not in Motorola. And after a while you will notice that even the apps that are made to remove the slide-to-unlock sometimes fail. So, to solve this, we would need someone with A LOT of knowledge on programing and Motorola APIs, maybe even have to mess with the kernel... =(
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

HTC have removed the option to have no screen lock at all, you have to have something (which is responsible IMO)

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.

Maybe your magazine unlock is paused. When your phone is locked try to swipe up from bottom of the display. There you will get resume/pause(||) option. Resume it. Let's us know if issue still persists.

Currently having the same problem as the OP. One moment it was working fine, and now it doesn't work at all. I have the magazine unlock setting on and ticked all the boxes and when I lock my phone it just shows the home screen wallpaper. I've checked the settings on the lock screen itself, there is a lock icon but when I press on it nothing happens. If I add my own images into the magazine unlock folder, they work fine and like the magazine unlock feature should work, but I really enjoyed seeing the random photos that would appear before. I honestly can not find a fix for this and I don't really want to factory reset my phone, so would really appreciate if someone has a work around for this.
Found the answer

You need to unlock your lockscreen wallpaper
Now, go to you lockscreen then swipe up from bottom
There are several settings there..
Press the locked icon
And you can change the time or another setting for your lockscreen wallpaper
So you can have your random magazine again..
Hope it helps you
I tried going through your steps DTsPro but sadly it wouldn't work. Like I said if I add my own pictures to the magazine unlock feature it works no problem and I can use the swipe up unlock/lock feature on the lock screen with those images, the moment I delete them and try to use the built in magazine unlock images, I just get a static image and I'm unable to select any of the icons on the lock screen settings however it says on wallpapers and themes that magazine unlock is selected... It is a very weird and somewhat annoying problem that I just can't seem to find a solution for, but thank you for at least trying to help
Same as me p20 I have problem as well. Magazine unlock, whatever I do it doesn't work at all. Any help plz
On lock screen swipe from bottom of screen. It will show couple of options. Don't let screen unlocked with face recognition or fingerprint. These options appears on the lock screen when you swipe from the bottom of screen on locked screen. There is a lock icon on these option, tap on it and unlock it. It will show message that screen will change everytime. Try these options with cool mind. I was not able to figure it out for weeks. But now I have and it work like charm.
simple solution as it might sound, but change your theme and keep going through the process untill it shows the pop-up msg asking you if you want to keep or discard Magazine unlock and choose to keep, Voiala it goes back again.
