Possible to disable Samsung lockscreen?

Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone had any idea how to disable the Samsung lockscreen? I just upgraded to JM2 and the new Samsung lockscreen is actually quite annoying.
I'm thinking of using Widget Locker as my new lockscreen but sometimes you still get "flashes" of the Samsung lockscreen in the background (and other times the Samsung one just completely overrides the default lockscreen).
It would be nice to be able to disable it altogether.

No Lock
http://www.appbrain.com/app/org.jraf.android.nolock

Yeah for older firmwares i could unlock the phone by swiping about halfway through the screen but with jm2 i have to like like 3/4+ for it to unlock, much more inconvenient

I found the name GlassLockScreen in Logcat. And now im workin on removing it...
And its not in /system/app

I would love to be able to use the standard Eclair lock screen

Looks like this is an overwrite. Cuzz there is no VanillaLockScreen apk of any kind on the ROM...
P.S. Im working on a costum ROM, and i will enable VanillaLockScreen.

Sigh...just flashed the phone twice over the last two day. Would be good if we can enable the default lockscreen without reflashing?
The device is rooted so replacing system files will not be an issue...

Working on it. Dont have much time, but ill try unpack the rom today and check if this could be done. Not sure cuzz oz the notifications and alarm on the lockscreen..

Anything new?
If you already found sth, pls post it, then i can search too..
Want to kill this damn lockscreen..

The png' for the lock-screen is located in framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi
The latest version is way worse than the stock. Lets hope there is away to enable stock android lock-screen.

I dont have such a path/folder...

that's in /system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/*.png

Ty
So currently i am downloading the I9000 sources, to look where/when the pngs are loaded..

Ok, so this is what i found out..
I downloaded the opensource sw from samsung but i didnt find where the unlock pictures are loaded (used grep to search threw files).
Then i started adb logcat and this are the outputs when you enable the lockscreen:
D/GlassLockScreen( 2253): GlassLock onPause
.....
D/GlassLockScreen( 2253): GlassLock onResume
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And i thought the id, is the pid and this pid is currently this
2253 1000 322m S system_server
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I dont think it would be a good idea to kill this process
So i guess the /system/bin/system_server
and /system/lib/libsystem_server.so have sth todo with it..
Either it starts the a process for the lockscreen or it has the lockscreen in it..
Because in the libsystem is this
system_init.startsurfaceflinger
System server: starting Android services.
com/android/server/SystemServer init2 System server: entering thread pool.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Maybe it is just a starting service..

Any updates on this?
I really liked the vanilla lockscreen with option to set volume to off but more importantly the vanilla contains things like alarm time and minutes left to alarm.
Anyone with any info?
Regards

I use a pattern unlock for this very reason
Is it possible just to revert the glass screen unlock behaviour back to june time firmwares? where you only had to drag over half the screen? I'd be happy with that! (altho a fully functioning vanilla lockscreen would be cool too!)

If you want to completely disable the lockscreen without any apps for it.
Phone -> *#*#7594#*#* -> Check shutdown.
No more lockscreen for you. Oh and when u restart, there will be no PIN prompt as well untill you uncheck Shutdown, and then lock , wait 3 seconds, unlock, enter PIN, go back, Enable shutdown again.

i want to get rid of the lock also, although i am using nolock at the moment

This disable the shutdown screen. But I guess that will not help me if I want the vanilla screen? Even if I install an apk (if there is one) It will be disabled to?

This completely disables the lockscreen. What do you mean?
if you are using extra software maybe u need to uninstall it?

Vanilla Lockscreen Mod help...

Hey devs,
I need to ask if anyone knows how to change the vanilla lockscreen softkey functions. Specifically, I'd like to change the volume swipe to alternate between normal (volume on) and vibrate (vibrate on, volume off). I don't prefer silent because I still want to "feel" when I get messages and such when I'm at work.
Thanks

You'll have to mod the Lockscreen.java code in AOSP in the framework base... which means you'll need to check out AOSP and do the compile of AOSP yourself.

All you have to do is go into Settings>Sound and enable Vibrate always. Then, when you swipe the jog tab is goes from normal>vibrate>back to normal.
or you could enable vibrate in silent only. either way, you dont have to mess with the fun task of trying to compile from source.

[Q] how to disable screen off volume start music player

I seem to remember reading something about this, but I can't seem to find it anymore. is there any way to disable the screen off volume press turn on the music player "feature"? I'm tired of turning off my screen and setting down my phone and having to pick it back up again right away to turn it back off.

What ROM are you running? I know Sense 6 Toolbox has a toggle for that.

Nuisense 6. I'll take a look again, but it seemed like the tool box only would enable starting something, it wouldn't disable something that the ROM included by default.

It did once but I can't remember what so it's worth a shot. I think it's a build prop edit, but I'm not currently running that ROM. Calling @gruesomewolf since he's the one who would know exactly what you could edit if it's user editable.

[Q] Lots of Questions about everything !

Hello I have lots of questions
1) is there a way to make active display or tap to wake up phone?
2) on my previous phone if I clicked on the volume key button the phone would turn on?- can I do it on here?
3) there are many more apps like contextual services and lots of other Motorola apps. Which are safe to disable?
4) is there a way to block OTA updates?
5) when you swipe down using two fingers you get the notification pull menus. But when I click the wifi button it opens the settings app and goes to wifi. Can't I edit it so it goes DIRECTLYY to. Toggle wifi?
6) pin on lock screen - on my old phones when I input my pin it unlockes. This is so stupid and takes more longer after inputtingmy pin. I then have to click enter? How do I automate that

1) You can use AcDisplay. You can't tap to wake the phone, a custom kernel would be required for that.
2) Not by default.
3) I leave Assist, Alert, Audio effects, Help and Migrate disabled. I don't know about the rest, but those are safe.
4) Just don't install them. I don't know if you can disable the alerts though.
5) Hold the wifi button . Works with other settings as well, try it out.
6) Well, you could try using an app that replaces your lockscreen which has this feature, such as the Home Screen Lock of Smart App Lock. By default you can't though.
Hope I helped.

I assume you are using Lollipop. The wifi-icon and the SSID are two seperate buttons. Tapping the icon switches wifi on/off. Tap on the SSID and it will take you to settings

I've found that long-pressing the wifi button will toggle it on and off.

Bit disapointed thaty I cant use the volume keys! thanks for the help

Is there a way to remove the Loud Music warning for root?

I don't really wan't a custom rom, but do have Magisk and TWRP. It's the last thing I don't like about this phone (just came from the Pixel 2 XL).

Try this:
In Developer Options, search for Absolute Volume, then turn it off.

I found "Disable Absolute Volume" and tried it. Still when the phone turns back on the pop up is there the moment I turn up the volume.

Yeah It seems that is not a permanent solution... You could try to automate it with tasker and autoinput, but i dont think is worth the effort...

Yeah I agree, Thanks for the info.

samfix from xda labs used to cope with it but no update since pie..

Yeah, I tried it and no go on pie. Its a really small thing, just the last thing that bugs me.

i would add the mess with dolby atmos. I think it turns off randomly.

Well, if money is not the problem, you can do it with Tasker and AutoTools and it works just fine. I don't have root. Set it up once and forget it:
Just google "disable-safe-volume-warning-no-root-required" (geez, you can't even share a link to tutorial)
I haven't found easier solution for non-root. Sorry if OP looks for something root-only...

It is available in Stock ROM, no root required.
Settings > Sounds and vibration > Volume
Tap the three vertical dots in the top right,
Select "Media Volume Limiter" (It's the only option on my phone')
(Now here comes the counter-intuitive part)
Turn it on.
Set the "Custom Volume Limit" all the way to the right.

is it possible that after a reboot the setting resets?
if so, there are modules like gravity box for edxposed that can change it for good. maybe others too.

Wherever limit you set (in the case, full volume) persists.
I have just rebooted my phone and the limiter is still on, and set to full.

ok then they must have changed it in pie since i remember users complaining of it being reset after each reboot( probably an oreo issue)

That STILL gives you the warning once after every reboot.
BUT! If you use systemui tuner you can actually, permanently, disable it. Seems to be the only way without root.

@Delano.888 Yeah, just had that experience at the very moment that you posted that.
Thanks for the pointer to SystemUI Tuner.

i knew i wasn't crazy....

Does anyone know how to get rid of this with Tasker? The old method no longer works, and I am afraid I am going to wreck my car trying to click the ok on the screen when I need the volume up. Please help! I've literally tried everything from granting securetask device ownership rights etc... I can even watch the setting change on my Note 9 without affecting the warning whatsoever. Any ideas??? Also, what exactly does deprecated mean?

Yes there is. I have done it multiple times. You will need a PC and Magisk Manager though. Tried it worked on Android 10 too.
The solution is with Smali Patcher. It makes Magisk module for individual phones via PC when being connected to the phone in ADB mode.
Google it. You will find the xda link.

That issue has been fixed in subsequent FW updates.

Is this a package that can be disable from adb?
