let me guess, you had a password and you took it off and set it to none, swipe is the one with the sparkly effects

Never set a password, always had swipe.

Yes I know, and when I unlock by swiping the finger on the lockscreen I do not see the sparkling effect
Hmmm very strange

I am rooted and debloated a little the phone + I have GEL launcher: is there a way at this point to completely remove sony's lockscreen and install standard google one?
Go into your system apps in system-->app then look for XperiaLockscreen.apk change apk to .bak so if you want the regular one back, just switch it back to .apk

Thanks danger2u. I tried your suggestion by dragging icons in there but it just seems to be a black hole. Also tried a new launcher and switching back.. No luck either.

go to settings - apps - all - launcher.
click Force Stop and then Clear Cache, then press the Home button. If that doesn't work, go back to launcher and click Clear Data. You'll loose your icon settings/widget layouts, but it will get rid of the issue.

I reboot and it corrects/fixes the issue
Is there any way to do this? I can't find any info on it anywhere, at least not for this phone. I have a beautiful picture of a dear friend who just passed as my lock screen background, and that stupid "enter backup password" text is right over his face >:[
I'm rooted on 4.4.4 with xposed, and I'm comfortable editing build props or system files if that's what it takes. Thanks in advance.

Since you have Xposed. Have you tried looking into Wanam or similar to see if there is an option?

Yes, unfortunately I haven't found any lock screen options regarding this.
Same silly problem. Just had my first kid and I can't enjoy her beautiful face on my lock screen because of that text..it must be something somewhere to hide it..

Well, I did find one semi-solution; Alternate lock screen app.
I've been using C locker, which is the only one I found that works with the finger scanner. No text on face, and it had widgets & stuff too. Ideally I'd like to just fix the stock lockscreen, but I guess this is good enough.
Wow that's great then..I'll try it straight away..top man
Hey,
I used this on my S8 Plus, and tried it on my Note 8 and it works too. It adds the option for a black navbar back in the Display > Navigation Bar settings. Just install the APK, reboot and head into the settings to turn it on.

Wonder why they removed it. Did they want to avoid screen burn in with this model?
Yea was remove due to burn in or wash out

Thank you much for this, it was driving me nuts and all other colors are lame and are not consistent with a blacked-out theme.
Much appreciated!
Nevermind, the option was blacked out due to black theme. Thanks!
Not seeing where you turn this on. No option in the Navbar settings.

Seems to have odd permission requirements? Not sure why it needs to access the phone, or alter SD contents?

Dang, I really wanted to use this but now I wont way too paranoid.
Thanks, it works. Navbar was my go to, but it was not working very good with immersive mode + when keyboard appeared.
Works great!
Why does it need access to the sd card?

See if this one does, I don't believe it did. If it does it's probably because that's where you have it stored prior to installation.

I can confirm it ask for SD card and Phone permissions, both versions uploaded here in the thread. I went ahead and disabled the permissions and seems to work fine still, even after a restart. Still odd to ask for phone permissions tho

Install and go to settings if you are using a black theme already you might not see the Dark bubble in those color list, just press the last dark spot.

I'm using sd_black from samsung theme store with parts and pieces of several substratum themes and several different layers.
Works on mine once theme controls for Nav bar were turned off.
Tried to find a solution for this irritating thing
Evertime I install an app an icon is added onto my home screen.
Can't find the on off switch in the home settings or the display.
Is it somewhere blooming obvious? ☺
It used to be an option in the playstore but it's not longer there, unless you use a new launcher it will always happen.

You can only choose between the pre installed ones. Apart from that you can't change the animation until you root the device.
