App to No lockscreen?? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Anyone know of a good no lockscreen app that really works at all times? I tried using the no lock by BoD in market but doesn't work all the time. It worked good on my G2, G2x it was working good either... Now with sgs2 either.. And also, doesn't touchwiz suppose to have the puzzle unlock, or is that other version or carrier version or overall a different lockscreen?

Go Locker.
Might as well install GoSMS and Go Launcher too while your at it.

Touchwiz does have puzzle lock. Go to Locations and Security in the Settings -> Change screen lock.
Haha yes I agree install Go launcher as well

I meant, the puzzle as to actual puzzles being put together to unlock.. Not the connect a dot

You can see in this video the puzzle unlock, I thought touchwiz had it..

That video is the Galaxy S not S2.
The S2 only comes with either dots or keypad.

Buy it's regular lockscreen, no password or pin needed, either way I thought it came with touchwiz.. Because the simple lockscreen they made sucks. Looks like sheet of paper to slide off and unlock and I do not want to use 3rd party app

Hi,
You can disable the lock screen without any app if edit this file /efs/imei/keystr with HexEditor. open the file and there is vales 4f and 4e that gives you the ON just change the 4e to 46 that will make it OF. save the file and reboot. that will disable the lock screen.

samsung needs to release a patch to address the lockscreen disappearing bug. It is too easy to bypass the lockscreen pin or pattern draw. I want to get this phone but might try to hold off until this is addressed.

until Dev make it possible to block home button unlock, this lockscreen is useless and just another pretty lockscreen like many other in the market.
So far the only lockscreen able to block the home button in the market is Widgetlocker.
who need another lockscreen that don't actually lock anything since any press to a button you might do by accident in your pocket will unlock your screen.

How do you prevent home button from preventing unlock in widget locker? I can't seem to find that setting.

This. I was about to ask if it fixes the home button bypass because it's pretty much useless if it doesn't.

Widgetlocker prevents home button bypass by effectively becoming the default launcher. So you set Widgetlocker as your launcher and then select what launcher you want Widgetlocker to launch.
To do this go into Widgetlocker Settings -> Advanced -> HomeHelper -> enable homehelper -> Select System Home -> select WL HomeHelper and tick the use by default option. Then select HomeHelper's Launncher and select the launcher you want to use. This will then prevent the home button bringing up the home screen when locked using widgetlocker.

Given what we're talking about that makes absolutely no sense to me. To use a simple analogy, surely a lockscreen application preventing the phone being unlocked with a simple button press is as fundamental to it's purpose as a steering wheel is to a car?
u guys still have beautiful widget or fancy widget unlock weather animation with this???

Go find an app that lets you do that. No ones forcing you to use this. I can't help it if it didn't make sense to you.

I have an app that does that, it's called WidgetLocker. And I'm well aware no one is forcing me to use this, well done for stating the obvious. Should all that mean I can't discuss the shortcomings of the application in this thread? Obviously not.
You seem to be completely missing the point of what a forum is for.

I don't mind that home key unlocks your phone but if you touch the app shortcuts they get launched! You don't even need to move them! That's bad... Cuz I accidentally unlock and start apps this way. Stupid!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
its actually full of bugs... if you press the home key and want to change its settings the lockscreen starts again.
And it does not support missed events.
And you need to have a services running!

I find that hard to believe. There is nothing in this lockscreen blocking the home button from unlocking the phone. I bought the paid version and even had a chat with the Dev about it and he is working on a solution for blocking the home button from unlocking but currently thats not possible so find it hard to believe it when your saying its not unlocking your phone

Yes, slightly buggy , but a VERY commendable start.

Like this a lot
For some reason though trying to open my Messages through it causes it to crash :/

[Q] OTA Lock Screen

naw. you would have to rip apart the framework-res.apk and figure out what is used in there to create the lock screen then integrate it to your framework.

Trouble with unlock screen

Had this phone for Two days now and LOVE it. Way better then evo 3d I had. Only issue I have is I struggle to unlock it every time. Maybe the size maybe the touchwiz screen. Either way it makes me crazy. Anyone make a suggestion of a different lock screen that is stable and won't mess up the excellent battery life.
Btw I have no interest in rooting but don't mind buying an app if needed. Also I have no issue with other parts of touchwiz just the lock screen.
I use widget locker. You can set that up any way you'd like. I have the stock aosp lock screen. Does wonders.

Widget locker allows you to customize the lockscreen with a ot of different options. So the AOSP lockscreen is when you slide the icon across to unlock you phone. It is Androids stock lock screen that ships with Android if Samsung or HTC wouldn't add their own.
Agile lock is pretty good too. It gives you a lockscreen similar to sense 3.0

I replaced my stock lock screen with widget locker and haven't experienced any problems (including battery life). It could be that people using widget locker are placing battery intensive widgets on their lockscreen.
Yeah I haven't had any problems with battery life or any slow downs either. This phone handles the battery and speed well. You can set it up however you like, the possibilities are endless. You can even download themes. I just like it so much because I don't have to use the original lock screen for our phone.

Thanks again! I downloaded and have been playing with widget locker and love it so far. Only question I have is ... Is there some way to get rid of the icon in the notification bar that shows widget locker ongoing. I keep thinking there is something I have not checked and it kinda bothers me. Tried to find a setting to get rid if it but no luck. Thanks again

Follow the instructions in his op in the forum and re flash, and I wouldnt use 3.0 its stability either seems to be hit or miss, and to change the lock screen /statusbar/blah blah, go to the themes and apps and looks for maddogins tsm parts mod, good to the lastish Page and look for the el29, its close to My posts, no I dont have an gallery apk either but theirs bound to be one floating around.. Or just re flash your calls to fix the CRT and it should give you another gallery alk you need

Changing Galaxy Note II lock screen

You guys clearly do not understand what he is asking, so why give bull**** answers? You don't have any option to pick any pictures to use from any gallery for the lock screen. You can change the wall paper, any idiot knows that on any phone!

A bit rude don't you think? And a bit to many ANYs in your sentence. So many in fact that your sentence doesn't' have ANY sense.
Of course you can change wallpaper for launcher and wallpaper for lock screen separately, is that what he is asking?
Lol wtf guys chill out! The OP is asking for a lockscreen replacement.
If you want to use a different or themed lockscreen just head over google play and download Go Locker EX. Theres tons of themes to look for, and also it has pages like 4.2.2 lockscreen.

Yes that is what he asking. Not changing the ****ing wallpaper ;p I was being sarcastic in saying you can't change it ;p
You absolute ****! ;p Originally he was asking about lock screen specifically. Not the wallpaper. My comment was about how everyone is quick to give their hints and tips without even reading what someone is wanting. What the ****ing use is that? I think thats rude, not the amount and ANYs in my sentance.
Now I do hope this makes some type of sense to you. Stupid time wasting usless turd.
Lol... op.. There is three types of locksreen for us to use.
First is like u mentioned.
Second is pattern lock where u draw a pattern to unlock.
Three is good old pin number
Not sure if there is face unlock where it uses front camera to scan your face. If matches ur face will unlock the phone. This also work by holding your photo in front of the phone to unlock...
