Any good AOSP-like lock screen replacements?

Ok, so here's a little back story. I'm currently running the android 4.2 launcher on the stock Atrix HD android 4.1 update. And I just don't think the stock lockscreen fits with the launcher.
I have tried Holo Locker and Widget Locker and both are very lacking. They leave the software keys on screen and you can still back out of the lock screen by hitting them.
So, basically, I was wondering if there are any better AOSP-like lock screen apps or if there are any mods floating around out there?

There's a setting for Holo Locker that'll make it the default launcher so hitting back or home won't skip it.

[Tweak] How to remove the softkeys/navbar WITHOUT remove the statusbar.

Edit your build.prop and add this line:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
It's cool if you like to use LMT or PIE, that permit to use the full screen and keep the statusbar features.
Need a reboot.
Don't use "expand desktop" option.
Off course, activate another Softkeys/navbar solution (LMT,PIE...) BEFORE add the line in the build.prop !
LMT : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
PIE is roughly the same (less functions) as LMT and it's directly inculded in PA, RootBox...
Please report how it work on other ROM/Kernel.
Edit : Now using PA, just go to Settings/Hybrid Property/Interface dans set Nav. Bar to 0.
That do the trick.
Enjoy

Thanks, didn't think it was that easy.

Thank you for this. Great information. Sadly can't access that file yet until I am rooted, but I do look forward to it.

in pa you simply set navbar to 0%. done. no reboot needed. and pie is not part of lmt. lmt is a ready made google control tweaked a bit. pie is an open source control written from scratch. everything that goes beyond simple navigation is pie and was pies from the beginning. lmt took/replicated some of these ideas now, but please someone stop that meme already, i seriously cant see it anymore. everyday lmt gets another idea from us and people then come and say we got it from them is like a kick in the kneecap.

Doesnt make a difference in PA, same effect as setting the nav bar to 0% in PA settings the issue I have is that PIE works in basic mode where there is only the buttons no notifications when I activate it. Would rather have that function as I liked that part of it .
If you look at this thread again Moles, any idea?.

Thanks op . this was bugging me for ages !!!!

awesome..thanks for this...which one would you recommend though? LMT or PIE?
I used LMT but it seems like it lags a tad. Hitting the back button on my nav bar responds a lot faster than touching the back button on LMT...or is it just me?

I use PIE included in Rootbox box and no problem, no lag or anything esle. It's a a quitte difficult at the beginning to get the right movement but a bit of training and it's good for me.
I use LMT on my Galaxy tab without lag too...

I use Button Savior with this line added to system/build.prop "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1". Works like a charm. Button Savior is available at https://play.google.com/store/search?q=button+savior and provides hidden soft keys navigation available with a simple swipe or by clicking an app icon. Works with any launcher.

Just taking a guess but did you accidentally change permissions of the build.prop file or mistype the command?

Yes. It will come back if you delete that line.
Although it's been said already, make sure you have an alternate nav key option installed before adding that line.

Hide ICS Hotbar only?

I found a fullscreen app on the market that hides both the statusbar and the hotbar, but i just want the hotbar hidden, how would i do this?
Any help at all will be appreciated
Sent from my Razr I XT890

You could try a different Launcher, Nova Launcher for example. Not sure about other workarounds to get rid off the searchbar...

R: Hide ICS Hotbar only?
ok for nova launcher but remember this: is it worth using a different launcher than stock one? what about battery consumption comparison between stock and any different one?

I did the same thing, but wanted to keep the status bar and launcher. None of the apps I could find did a decent job, and all the ones that hide both bars are a horrible hack: they kill the systemUI process at regular interval!
In the end, I found a very simple way to do it, with no additional resource needed, apart from an alternative navigation bar. See my post on the Post your RAZR i Homescreens thread.

Brilliant!! Thanks

Yea I was going to consider going that way but like I said I don't have a recover and I feel like it could be risky do you think it's safe without a backup?

I'd rather use LMT than Button Savior. I was asking him because he said his games are on his pull out bar.

Ohhh ok well Do you think it is safe without a backup? I also use LMT although I still have the stock soft keys and they get very annoying.

EnigmaReborn,
This depends on what you would like to do to the navigation bar. There are applications out there that work well on the Status Bar:
1. Omega Status Bar
2. StatusBar+
Now, regarding the Navigation Bar there are several XDA Members that have developed custom Mods allowing you to resize the bar or remove it:
1. Hide Bottom Bar
There are a number of XDA Members that have done some real mod work, if you take a look at the idea, you will be able to carry it over to the Kindle:
1.Change Nav Bar DPI
The general idea is to look at the framework-res.apk - you will find all the Navbar icons inside that apk, use Gimp to edit the icons, then reinsert them back into the APK.

I actually uninstalled the Navbar completely. I am using button savior at the moment on my rooted Kindle Fire Hd! I tried using LMT but could not get it to work properly so I went with Button Savior. I used Sys App Remover and made a backup of the SoftkeyBar.apk then uninstalled it and rebooted my Kindle. I have Button Savior hidden and setup to tap the right side of the screen to open it. So far everything appears to be working great! :good:

Thanks for mention this app. It actually saved me when strangely my notification bar and soft keys disappeared, and allowed me to do a factory reset.
On a slightly off topic note, in relation to one of the LMT default options. How come recent apps does not work on the kindle? Anyone have any thoughts about this?

[Q] PACman rom startup offset

Hi, this is a silly question, but is there anyway for the PACrom to start up so it is centered between the homescreens (e.g. if you had 3 screens, you startup and are on the 2nd)? After playing around with Nova and Apex (but I decided to stick with Trebuchet), I can't seem to do that anymore. Does anyone know?

Should be right in the settings if you hit menu on the home screen. Not for sure though I always use nova.
