[Q] How to remove the TouchWiz lockscreen [SOLVED :D]

Hey guys!
I'm wondering on how to remove the TouchWiz lockscreen because I'm about to use Lockbot wich act buggy with TW Lockscreen, it shows the TW Lockscreen before switching over to Lockbot.
Is there an APK somewhere i can remove to get rid of TouchWiz lockscreen (the one with the puzzle sliding etc.) ?
Thanks in advance masters!

Im in a similar predicament, i actually am using a passcode right now so it doesnt look like touchwiz

Thank you for your reply, the problem is I cannot use Lockbot now because the TW Lockesreen messes it up. Also on Exlair (Android 2.1) it is not possible to set up a passcode, FroYo is needed for that plus this won't fix my Lockbot issue either. I alreafy did some diging in the APK folders but couldn't really sort it out. You are on FroYo I believe? It is possible to set a SIM pincode but that doesnt help aswell.
PEACE!

The free app NoLock will remove your lockscreen entirely, if you press power/home to wake your phone it will immediately be unlocked. There are several apps on the market to replace your lockscreen with a different style but in my experience these aren't completely satisfying - sometimes the original lockscreen appears for a splitsecond, other times they're just not as responsive and may take a second longer for you to unlock the phone.
Regardless, just try searching the market for 'lockscreen' and see what you find. WidgetLocker is pretty good but not free.

Indeed I am on Froyo, I wasn't aware it isn't available on eclair. Well, if anyone else finds further development besides market apps that seem to slightly lag please help out!

This is exacly my problem, LockBot is one of these tools, it shows the default TW Lockscreen for a second before switching to LockBot Lockscreen, this is exacly why i want the TW Lockscreen removed
Oh and thanks for thinking with me

Download SGS INFO on the forum here install and run the app selecting set powerbutton action. Select the tickbox and this will permantly disable the lock screen until you select otherwise.
The beauty if this is that it doesnt use a 3rd party app to do this just provides a shortcut to hidden options within the SGS.
Hope this helps.

You can also easily revert back to the stock lock (...and two smoking barrels! ) screen by modifying the code in /system/framework/android.policy.odex.

i installed the app. but when i choose set powerbutton action, i have only this one on the list :
shutdown: enable to shutdown on end call long press.
thats not right or ?
which code must i enter to disable lockscreen.
and would it be the same code to reactivate the stock lock screen ?

when i tick off the shutdown option, then 3 things happen:
1. the question if i really want to shut down my phone is gone. (i think this is the real action, what it does)
2. when i restart my phone, the sim card is not accepted, its even not asked for pin. i tried 3 times, so its not working
3. the lockscreen is gone.
so i need an other option, maybe i will deinstall it completly.
or has someone an other suggestion ?

Hey Rambone!
Most of the times these apps don't work together with apps such as LockBot for getting another lockscreen. Will try it out tho, thanks for the heads up
Great job on your ROM's b.t.w. mate, really awesome! Keep up the good work!

[Q] disable the complete lookscreen

is there any chance to disable the lockscreen itsself ?
it is comfortable to open the cover and the device turns on- and so the buttons to power on the device are not good to use it is really nessesary-, but every time i had to unlook the lookscreen.
kind regards
gandalf
edit : found the solution myself- under security you can choose On /off disable Lockscreen- the only left lockscreen is if you change the user.
if you think you re crazy cause you dont find it....the option is only chooseable,if the lockscreen disable option is not enable by "wipe".

Yes, go to settings, security, and in the Screenlock option select "None".
I use this myself with my fake smart cover.

Installed Null, now Double tap of screen does nothing

I cannot access anything from double tapping the screen now that I installed the new Null Rom. I want to be able to get to the standard Note 3 settings for Volume and Brightness, as I shut down the volume while sleeping to avoid hearing incoming notifications, and to adjust screen inside or outside. Any settings in Nova or other that may have caused this, and how do I get this feature back? Thank you.

Thanks, but did read, and he only talks about double tapping the Home button, not the screen.

Lock the screen in Nova settings, then set the double tap gesture to whatever you want.

Just got done chatting with fOmey. Looks like we can get something similar but we need to install gravbox from the rom to get the settings. I have have quick access to what I need. I will work on adding in a tutorial next week some time.
Nice options with gravbox

Adding to almulders reply, if you want the stock double tap experience you have to use the normal systemui.. not the full systemui.
The double tap action expands the notification panel in the watch system ui, when you use the full system ui this obviously overwrites this and opens the standard notification panel.
Gravitybox enables additional toggles, which will allow you to toggle sound mode etc.

Thank you very much fOmey. I appreciate all your work, but being in USA I found that the only real feature that i would use is the Google Search. I am hopeful one day for a fix to our bluetooth issues on AT&T, but until then I will keep checking in to see what else you and the great community can add. I cannot regretfully ever hack my phone rom, as i am on a Corporate exchange system and had to sign off on a policy stating I would not do this type of thing. I would have already tried the International one otherwise, but I am a Director and cannot get in trouble over this with the company. Thanks again.

[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.

Double tap to wake

Hello,
I did a little searching but could not find anything specific to my setup. I'm going crazy trying to get double tap back on my phone. I know double tap to wake was working earlier in the day then I messed about in settings and I just can not find what I did that caused double tap to wake not to work, I'm running the Cataclysm rom on an otherwise stock 6.0.1. ANy help would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, I'm going to go crazy and haunt you all.
Thanks

See if you changed something in smart lock.

mikeprius said:
Download Kernal Auditor in googleplay and under one of the tweaks is a double tap to wake. I've tried a few different double tap to wake mods and none of them really work as well as Lollipop, but it's something. I noticed it only works when tapping the lower center like 1 sec between taps.

Double tap to wake was working without doing any of that and I was hoping to avoid modifications.

its not in any settings, as google disabled it before releasing the n6. however, it can be re-enabled, with root of course. it can be included in a custom rom or you can use this nexus 6 double tap to wake app to enable it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codechron.n6doubletapunlock

Go to Settings > Security and scroll down to Trust Agents. Within that page, turn on Smart Lock. Go back and you will find Smart Lock where expected. Just learned this last month.

Then I definatley borked something. Smart lock used to be there when I bought the phone. I bought it already modified from ECrispy, the developer here. He restored everything to stock then flashed Cataclysm 6.0.1 on it and shipped it out to me. Guess I did somehting to it

Oh well, everyone was a noob I guess. little research says that most rooted roms have busybox in them already so here we go!
It is nice that Cataclysm allows you to make the choice whether to install it or not.

Bet your setting it to full screen arent you? Set it for half screen and it will stick. Its a bug the Dev doesnt care to fix. Has been reported hundreds of times.
