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!

You can't have swipe to unlock with a pin, at least not on the stock lockscreen.

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

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

I tries by disabling a generic Locksreen with Titanium but didn't work
No problem
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?

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.

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
