Remove the "Swipe to Unlock" screen? - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I just got this phone today and I quite enjoy it. However, one thing is bugging me like crazy because I use WidgetLocker, and that's the lock screen. Is there any way to disable it so it just goes straight to WidgetLocker?

Settings - My device - Lock Screen - Screen lock - None
That basically removes any lock screen functionality at all, tested on my I537 with the MF1 build so I can't speak of the MF2/MF3 builds in that respect but I'd hazard to guess it's the same.

Never mind

Thanks for the hint....I had hated that D&^%* lock screen since I live alone and no one else uses my phone. BTW, I have MF3 and it works there too.:good:

Uhmmm... you want a lock screen that doesn't lock?
You can't have a lock screen without it actually providing some level of actually locking the screen.

I want the PIN, but I wanted to use WidgetLocker as the lockscreen.
So, like when I press the power button, it opens up the WidgetLocker interface, and when I swipe to unlock it, it brings me up to the screen where I enter my PIN.
I'll try uploading pics in a bit to see if I can explain it better.

That's the default behaviour of WidgetLocker - it layers on top of the lock screen. Just do as the others have mentioned and set your lock screen in the settings to PIN, then install and activate widget locker and it will work exactly like you just mentioned.

I think I figured it out. WidgetLocker gave me a prompt when I booted it up the other day via SuperSU accessing it for root permissions. Either it must of not come up last time I booted it or I was trying to do it while I was unrooted... But the problem is solved.

Lock 2.0 themes

I was wondering if any theme developers were going to start adding themes for Lock 2.0. I think it would be cool to have a Lock 2.0 theme to match your desktop theme.
http://groups.google.com/group/lock2
so far theres not much to edit
the xml doesnt allow certain changes
it will mostly be skins
Interesting, no doubt.
skins would be pretty nice, but just the fact you can change the background for it alone makes me love it. im also loving the new update which completely removes the menu screen.
my current background for it =)

Yeah its not dependant on a theme. Its a stand alone app but it would be cool if theme creators edited Lock 2.0 to go with their themes.

Do you honestly have to unlock the phone pressing menu, then slide to unlock? if this is how it is supposed to be, than forger this app, why would i want to unlock my phone twice.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
From what I can gather from the FAQ (which is not the clearest) is that the Menu unlock is no longer there (at least for the paid app), so the slide unlock, unlocks the phone.
I wonder how it works if I have the lock pattern set on my phone? I guess I would slide to unlock and then put in my unlock pattern?
the menu lock is still there on the paid version
theres a few changes between the free and paid but both require you to press menu

It's pretty pointless then. Like aad4321 said, why would I want to unlock my phone twice? Hell, in my case with the pattern lock, it would be three times right? Menu > slide to unlock > pattern unlock.
I would go through all that if there was a password protection app, but not for something like this.

How did you get it to disable the menu option? It doesn't seem to work with me, or am I missing something else?
read what the developer says its only in the paid app
Yeah I just found that out like 10 seconds ago, thanks lol.
whats the name of the paid app? and is this the one the bypasses the menu lock??
Ok, has anyone been able to create a skin yet? I tried and the app tells me that it's an invalid skin file when I load it

[Q] How to customize AOSP lockscreen?

By adding widgets (like Music) and adding shortcuts to the circle?
I really like the look of the lockscreen, but if I can't customize like the default lockscreen I may switch back.

I did wonder this too. I'm using AOSPX 4.0.4 BR6 and it's a problem I can't work out.
I also had a problem adding a 2nd Google Drive account, but this was fixed by adding another Google account. This is different to how the Drive worked in Virtuous Quattro RC3, which allowed you to add another account directly from within the Drive app.
Any ideas anyone? Or is the feature removed from AOSP/AOSPX?
Thanks.
Here's what you do...process should be somewhat similar for all aosp based roms...but this is for cm9
Go to settings
***here's where it may be different***
Go to lock screen/anything that relates to customization....if you need help take a screenshot of your settings and I'll tell you which one***

Staying on topic here, there are no such options for the lock screen customisation in AOSPX 4.0.4 BR6. All there is are:
1. SCREEN LOCK - Slide, Password, Pin, Pattern etc.
2. OWNER INFO - obvious.
There are no settings to customise the lock screen or icons in any other way. Although Quattro RC3 did have this option, because I set it.
A 'long' hold of the MENU button on the HOME screen brings up some preferences, I thought it might be in here, but actually all this does is allow you to configure the HOME screen, i.e. number of home screens, search bar persistence etc.
Any other ideas? Thanks.

thats wasn't really going off topic...this thread is in the vivid q&a section
I'm pretty sure its in pure aosp... but not positive (not running a pure aosp so I can't test...) so as of right now I have no other suggest ions except maybe go the thread of your aosp from and ask there...or preferably its q&a thread if one exists

Have you tried going into Messaging -> Settings -> Notifications and disabling the Pop-up Display or the message previews for the lock screen to see if that turns off screen wake?

I noticed that too on stock messenger, I have pop off in notifications. Note sure why it should wake or why you can't even turn it off with the notification led.
I use hangouts as my default messaging app now and it does not turn on the screen. I would like to use messaging, but why leave that feature out as well as the home button waking the screen in my pocket, it drives me nuts.
Use 8sms, you won't regret it!

If you are rooted, install Xposed and download Wanam. There is an option to unhide that feature so you can disable it.

And, since this is just revealing the hidden option rather than hooking in and adding the functionality itself, your choice persists even if you remove wanam and xposed.
I can confirm the wanam option does work, I havent turned it off though cause I want the screen wake. There is also a thread about this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785118

I just turn my phone over so it don't wake me at night lol sorry That's my only suggestion for u.
thanks for the xposed solution. that was really bugging me
I use Ringo Pro from the app store. This allows me to let this app control all ringers and text sounds and then you can go into the actual programs and TURN OFF all notifications... this plus a SECOND lock screen has finally slowed down the pocket calls to 911 and an array of miss hit buttons...
This is my only complaint with this phone. Pocket dialing and button pushing is killing me..lol this has helped some
Fellows "Blocking Mode" takes care of this. Just set it up its free & comes on phone.
Unlock Bootloader on SM-870A At&t..

No, this is the moto lock screen with moto notifications. some times after unlocking it, I get another "lock screen" which I can simply swipe up and get the home screen back.
I started receiving the swipe to unlock before the PIN unlock screen after installing GravityBox LP and a few other xposed modules but haven't researched a fix yet.

my understanding is that is the notification lock screen. That's where you'll see the cards for whatever you have set for the notification screen. Swipe up, and you can unlock based on your method. It's also the screen where you'll have the music controller if you're playing some tunes.
I thought I would hate it, but I am totally used to it now, easy to get a quick look at what's happening without having to unlock. Just be sure the "show all content" on your notification options..

I agree that it's nice, I just like Motorola's smart display better where waving my hand over the phone shows me the time and icons of notifications I have and touching these icons show me their contents. It's more a more private way of seeing what's happening without unlocking your phone.
If you are rooted and have xposed you can install gravity box. Go to lock screen settings and under direct unlock choose standard.

Do you have Facebook messenger opened with a chat going? Or perhaps another app like that? I always have to remove the "chat head" from my screen when I get that message.
when I get it, I usually jump to settings, app permissions and setting the permission there. That almost always works.
Same anoying thing here. I had to Disable everything to make other apps work. I even had to change the message app to get around this issue. Hope so done finds a solutio. For that annoying issue
, put the phone in Safe Mode and then when it restarts you can do whatever you need to do if the apps and then take it out of safe mode

i dont think you can. You also cant turn screen off with it anymore without root (unless you PIN back in)
Go into the security settings, iirc the very bottom should have a toggle regarding screen overlay warnings
There is probably just one or two of the apps you have to disable. I have an app called swipepad that is always accessible by swiping the sides of my phone from any screen. When I turn this one off, I'm able to confirm app permissions. Super annoying though, as I then have to give swipepad overlay permissions again after the fact. You can get back to this settings menu by going to settings - applications - menu button - apps that can appear on top.

Nope. Happens on my Nvidia shield tablet now too after updating to the latest marshmallow. It's a MM thing. For now I stopped using swipepad and using the built in apps edge instead. You will have to do the same with whatever app is causing your issue if you want the problem gone permanently. Or wait for root.

Thinking about you this, I didn't realize why I was getting this prompt regardless of disabling all the apps with permission.
But I use the Edge panel, I will try disabling next time I get this prompt; should take care of it.
