[Q] sense screen removal?

hey there i have a 2.3.3 dinc2 so i cant root it yet but i really do like the sense widgets so dont wanna change to adw or launcherpro, but wondering if there is anyway to make it 5 homescreens instead of 7? i know on touchwiz you can but ive looked through all the settings and cant find it on my di2. anyone know if it can be done and how?

No you can't

Why would you want to get rid of home screen? If they aren't getting used then you most likely won't see them and won't bother you. But from what I see after having played with my phone there is no option for that.

Wallpaper position...less screens more of the wallper is visible. I hate that you can't pick which screen is the home screen either.

Err. I guess I had problems trying to get the picture not to get blown up when setting wallpaper.

You can. Go into the Sense previews and hold in one screen and you can move it. Is this what you're talking about?

No not really, that just let's you move the screens around but the home screen is always the center one. what I meant was making any screen the home screen regardless of that screens position

I don't quite understand what you want it to do..You can make any of the screens the home screen by moving it to the center.

He wants to make the left-most screen (for example) the home screen, not just move the contents of the left-most screen onto the center screen.
And yeah, the lack of home screen configureability is probably the biggest reason I don't use Sense. I only use 3 to 4 screens, and don't need or want any more.

thanks for your reply. i was trying to use the new golocker that the go dev team had released and i noticed nine times outta ten when i woke the phone id have to slide the stock lock out the way and then slide the golocker next. i tried the no lock app but i guess it works to good as it disabled both lock screens. it would b nice to have golocker only. but thanks for the advice.

If you have the lockmod then you can go into the lockscreen settings and set the style to "none".

Oh ok I thought u meant get rid of stock lock completely. For me I use widget locker and they have a root override that allows to bypass 10 second rule for apps.

what 10 second rule?

Its when u shut the screen and immediately wake it again there is a delay bc of android os limitations so widget locker has to wait like 3 seconds before showing.
I mixed up the 3 second android rule with the food fall on ground 10 second rule.

Not understanding, did you follow what eao1991 said? Switching the style to "none" shows no lock screen at all.

My 3 dots are on the lockscreen when I lock the screen

It happens when I lock it from twitter. Maybe other apps as well, unchecked though. Here is a pick of the reproducible problem
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

The option dots. They hold no function when pressed
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

it's a bug in ICS that displays the menu buttons when on the lockscreen. it's not suppose to happen. most likely they'll fix it in an update eventually.

If u use ADW EX home launcher that 3 dot menu on lockscreen unlocks the phone by just pressing on it.

If I don't go back to home screen before I lock. I have the 3 buttons displayed. These seem to override the slide to unlock. This is not really an issue tho I suppose as slide to unlock isn't secure anyway
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I assumed it was a feature. It only pops up on slide to unlock setting and I always use that instead of sliding when I have apps open.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

But isn't slide to unlock supposed to be a more secure lock over a none lock to prevent accidental phone unlock in your pocket? That's the whole point of "sliding" to unlock, not "pressing".
If that really is a feature they should give us an option to disable it. But I still think its a bug.

How often is something in your pocket going to find those three little dots and hit that specific part of your phone to unlock it..?
Better yet.. how often is your phone screen even on when in your pocket?

This always happens when locking when you are in an app
Or in browser....sort off shortcut feature tap it and you are right back in the app that is open at the moment

I think u missed my point.
It defeats the purpose of "sliding".
Why not just have ONE unlock button instead of sliding and 3dots?, since both have the same function.

Isn't Android about choices? Couldn't I chose to tap the 3 dots vs sliding all the time?

Well, then I want my choice to disable that "feature".

this is a bug, even google has admitted it's a bug. why do you find it so hard to believe that?

That's what I said, I hope ppl joke when they say it's a feature. Otherwise its sad to see "unwise" individuals on XDA (no offense to anybody).
I know this bug might not bother many, but I really want stock Android to be more polished and not half baked.
I hope OTA update is coming soon with fixes for all these little/big bugs.

Why do you care so much? It doesn't matter if people think it is a bug or not if it is a bug it will get fixed. It doesn't make a difference if someone thinks it is a bug or not because either way it will be fixed if it is.

remove stock lock screen?

Hey guys,
Is there a way to remove the stock lock screen from my phone? It's a completely stock GS2. I'm planning to root in the next few days, so if that's necessary I'm ok with it. I just HATE the stock lock and want to use widget locker. Unfortunately, when I simply install widget locker over the top, I end up with a redundant lock and have to swipe twice.
Any advice?

Try go locker app

I already know what lockscreen I want to use. I just need to get rid of the stock one.

When you say you have "redundant" lockscreens, do you mean that WidgetLocker comes up, followed by your security lockscreen, or are you not using any sort of password?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

He's talking about the static image that you swipe that unlocks the phone. I installed Go Locker and it gets rid of that except for the 1st time you power the phone on.

Install NO Lock from the market open it click disable. Then install whichever lock apparently you want and run it.

Install the Juggernaut rom and you can pick from a few different lock screens. I haven't seen the stock lock screen since I installed Juggernaut a month ago.

Correct, widgetlocker comes up, then the stock galaxy lockscreen, so I have to swipe twice.

Thanks, I'll try it again. I installed no-lock, and it just removed widget locker, but it didn't even do that reliably, lol. I'll uninstall WL, run no-lock, and then reinstall and hopefully that will work.

Thanks for the recommendation. When I'm ready to go the custom rom route, I'll check Juggernaut out. I don't know why I'm hesitating about flashing, because I've rooted and ROM'd my last 4 android phones, but for whatever reason, I'm not in a big hurry to root my GS2. Other than the lockscreen, I'm pretty happy with it completely stock.

It appears as though installing no-lock and disabling the lock screen, THEN installing your secondary lock works. I've rebooted a couple times and still get the stock lock on launch (which makes sense, since both no-lock and widget locker are started after boot), but haven't seen it since then.

Solution posted above did not help me. I have installed No Lock, disabled lock screen, then installed Go Locker but even so there is sometimes situation when both screens appear - annoying! What do you recommend?

Try MiLocker which is like the MIUI locker. Used it on my G2 and it worked perfectly. I like the static lock on the SGSS2 so that's why I haven't gone back to using it. Its worth a shot and they have tons of different lock screens

*#7594# It does disable the stock screen lock for Samsung Galaxy Epic 4G Touch (Sprint) and also works for Samsung Galaxy Attain (MetroPCS)., I just tried it does not works on our Phone....

AOKP Milestone 5 Galaxy Nexus

I am using a LTE GN with AOKP. My question is about the lock screen settings. I looked and maybe I am missing it. But I can not see a way to stop the notification screen from coming on while on the lock screen. Is this something not supported with this ROM?

If the option is not in settings you can always use WidgetLocker for your lock screen, its infinitely customizable.

Yeah, I could do that. I purchased the app in the past and could download it again. More than likely I will just have the notification screen come down during the lock screen though. Since I don't want to use that app for that.
Thanks for the suggestion though. I forgot that application can do that.
