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?
Hey, I just got into flashing roms and such... just moved from CM 10 stable to beast 4.2.1 and everything went great except from settings that got missing which are mainly 3:
1. I joined contacts together with their facebook profile in order to get their picture when calling them but when i flashed the new rom that was gone... any way of keeping it?
2. all my ringtones aren't synced anymore... now when i have someone who used to own a ringtone of his own i got no ringtone at all... same question
3. my entire launcher stayed the same but the widgets aren't working... any way of fixing that?
4. (different question) in the power widget in the notification drawer there was an option to change the time the screen takes to turn off, that option isn't available in the quick settings panel... is there other way to enable it? (besides getting the power widget again)
thanks!

1. You have to use HaxSync with the Jellybean work-around to sync Facebook contacts/pictures. There may be alternative apps available but this is just what I myself use.
2. Not sure what you are trying to ask. Just go into Sound settings or your music player and set a ring tone.
3. This is normal. I'm assuming they either look like white or black boxes? Just delete and reapply your widgets.
4. Not that I know of.

1. found a solution... restored my 4.1.2 contacts storage via titanium and it's working great.
2. What I mean is that when I set a custom ringtone and flash a new rom that ringtone isn't working anymore... (which makes me miss some calls...)
3. oh wellz
4. oh wellz using widgetsoid for that now...
New question (since i can't post in development)... In CM 10 I had Developer Settings in the settings menu... and on beast 4.2.1 i don't have them... is that normal? is there a fix for that?
thanks for you help
Hello. There used to be an "edit" icon on the quick settings (pull down toggles) screen, allowing you to rearrange the quick settings and choose which ones appeared. It is no longer there in the latest update. I've searched all through the settings and can't find any way to edit them. Does anyone know how to do it now? Or did HTC remove the ability to choose which toggles show up in the Quick Settings?
Looks like the software was older than I thought on my refurb. It had done one update and then reported it was up to date. But today it started downloading more updates and now the edit button is there.
In advance I want to say thank you for taking the time to read this. I've searched all over the internet and cannot find anything about this anywhere.
Tonight my HTC One randomly restarted and when it came back up, all my sense settings were restored to default, minus features. I.e. my quick settings menu was restored to default quick settings links and the order changed. The font size throughout the phone was restored to medium. The time changed back to 12 hour mode from 24 hour mode. My ringtone/notification/alarm tons were restored to default. But most frustratingly, the lock screen is messed up. I can only swipe up to unlock, instead of swiping left and right to get to blinkfeed, etc. And all of my shortcuts are inaccessible from the lock screen--as in, my messages, phone, email, etc--I can no longer swipe up on the icons (because they are not there) to immediately open those apps. I have to swipe up to unlock then tap the icon. Also, I no longer have message or missed call previews on the lock screen. It shows the time and weather but nothing else, even when I have notifications. Note that none of my other settings were restored to default--my shortcuts on the different panels are the same, my background the same, no apps were lost, etc.
Please, please help me.
Edit: my power saver mode icon is no longer available in the drop-down menu when it's enabled (i.e. there's the notification for it with the check box on the right that allows me to turn it off and that notification is no longer there).
and your rom is...?

Stock. Does no one have any info on this error?
Did you try factory reset? If you didn't, try it, but backup your phone first
I've gotten more or less happy with the standard EMUI launcher, which with a little tinkering works nicely enough. BUT! The lockscreen is horrible, it doesn't show music controls unless the app is set as standard for music. This is hopeless as i often use different apps. Tidal/Poweramp for music, PocketCast for podcasts and Orange Squeeze controlling my Squeezebox.
It seems that it's possible to change lockscreen back in EMUI 3, but that doesn't seem to work in EMUI 4. Anyone know if it's possible to change to AOSP Lockscreen?

Well u can install the many lockscreens available from the Play store.
To disable the EMUI lock, enable developer options and there is a screen lock option in that.. Toggle it off
Nils lockscreen notifications has solved my issues until I get root. It's in the playstore.
Thar looks interesting, but the settings screen on this phone really confuses me. They've moved everything around
How did you disable notifications on the lockscreen?

I actually like it as this phone offers more control once you know where everything is (takes some time getting used to for sure ).
-->If you use magazine lockscreen (stock huawei) the option to turn them off is in the display settings.
-->If you set any other lockscreen theme in the theme selecter they automatically get disabled (that's what I currently do). And the option in the display settings goes away!
So is there no way to show music controls on the lockscreen without a third party app? The lockscreen does show my notifications (when set to magazine) but nothing when playing music or podcasts, for example using Podcast Addict.

Nils has lockscreen support for certain music apps but only a few... (using "nex music" atm)
Basically the huawei lockscreen sucks. Can't wait to get root and disable it. From what I've read the stock android lockscreen is there but only activates once you manually disable the huawei lockscreen. But I need some clarification on warranty before I unlock the bootloader.
The huawei lockscreen app is called "Keyguard" as far as I know, you could try and disable it if you have root.
Tbh if root can get rid of the lock screen that is reason enough to root it.
While everyone wants to get rid of the magazine unlock I need to restore it after flashing with a different firmware from B636 to C432, how do I restore the magazine unlock as it is now missing under the settings menu ?

I am not sure if the C636B170 at about 3GB is a full stock rom but that is what I did.
Hi all,
The only thing that drives me up the wall is not being able to have my set alarm time displayed on the lock screen as I do use my alarm few times throughout the day.
Huawei P9

Same thing happened to me (flashed B190 from B130). And even flashing it back to B130 didn't restore the magazine lock.
Found the default themes & wallpapers here
These seem to be mirrors from paulobrien, also an XDA user, however the links in his thread didn't work for me.
EDIT: original thread from paulobrien
and the default wallpapers/images here
Hope that helps mate, has taken me all night trying to find it all. Not sure why it's not included in any of the full roms I've downloaded & flashed.

I installed Dark Red Metallic theme on my P9 and it is a big improvement over stock. Iirc it possibly shows controls on lock screen too.

Hi, I have a Mate 9 but it might be similar.
I can't disable the EMUI lock in the developer options. It is greyed out saying: "Disabled by Administrator, encryption policy or credential storage"
Any idea. I really don't like the EMUI lock screen. Stock is so much better.

I can't seem to toggle it off it is grayed out any way around this?
same problem with my new mate 9. The magazine unlock is useless and annoying. I can't be bothered to take the extra step when unlocking the phone (I am used to swipe pattern and that's how it should be for me). Now, how to turn it off without taking the radical step of having to install new firmware..
Get the huawei themes app. Not the stock theme up but if you search the name on playstore you will find it. I use this to get access to other themes like copying other brands etc.
You get additional lock screens within that. If you just do a search of lockscreens as well, there is a good choice on the store.
thanks, now instead of changing the theme, what can we do to disable it?
Anyone know how to remove the magazine unlock if I've rooted the phone? I have no idea how to change it to something else.
