[Q] How to remove the default Locker? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
When i lock by Screen i always get the attached screenlock - Even if i use the Pattern lockeing tech.
I tried the Go Locker - But then also it used to come sometimes but that would lead to killing of Go Launcher which i use so stopped using it.
I just want help with how to show only the draw pattern without attached ScreenLock.
Arc with Root - V6 SuperCharger & Notification PowerKeys Patched.

bump for this thread..i would like to know also..

That's an added feature inside CyanogenMod and is not available in stock roms.

Lock screen

Is there anyway to change this, to a slide bar or something?
Just come from a HD2 running stock desire rom and the current SGS2 one seems a bit...naff in comparison.
Try widgetlocker. Slide to unlock plus slide to any app

WidgetLocket works perfectly and when activated stops the default locker from appearing.

Perfect, thanks
Adding the stock lockscreen is very complicated, requires editing of the framework.jar and android-services.jar aswell as framework res.
I will begin work on it once we have fully functional deodexed rom

Do you think you will be able to do it? Really don't like using bolt on lock screens like widgetlocker.
Depends how similar to the origional sgs the java files are. That's the complicated bit. Waiting on cwm for backups and deodexed rom, then work will begin

If you haven't given widget locker a go yet I would try it.
It's even better if you've rooted and increased your lcd density somewhat (192 seems good to me). I love being able to unlock straight to SMS, Email & camera, while being able to use torch mode without unlocking too... etc.
The old lock screen is still on in the background. Sometimes it flashes up when I unlock. Is it a bad idea to disable through Widget Locker?
I love widget locker, but I'm finding it a pain - my home button first start bypassing it, then when I figured that fix out, hold it down still activates the task manager grr
WidgetLocker is great - I've been using it for about a year but only found out the other day that you can get custom themes for the sliders, and because they're mostly just zipped up image files it was relatively easy to customise.

This is the 5 second problem. It's discussed in the Widget Locker documentation (and in the settings menus too).
If you root your phone you can get rid of it once and for all. Otherwise Homehelper is supposed to maybe help, but I never managed to completely get rid of the system lock screen till I rooted as you can't override the 5 second thing.

Okay. Planning on rooting my advice so may try that. Cheers. What is home helper? Do you mean root helper?
Widgetlocker on my O2 branded unrooted SG2 worked perfectly. However, now I have rooted it and flashed the unbranded firmware the home button overrides it meaning just pressing the home button twice unlocks the phone.
Anyone else with this issue? I have checked to make sure the option to allow the home button to unlock is unticked.
Edit - Ignore me, forgot the Homehelper needed to be set as default.

DO you think it would be possible to add Cyanogen's unlock screen (with rotary unlock and stuff) or would that be even harder ?
I would love to see the AOSP lock screen pop up on the SGS2.
my vote is the puzzle unlock from some sgs models.

That one is built into Widget Locker if you don't mind using that. Given the power and battery life on the phone I'm quite happy to do that. Although my resource reporting apps show Widget Locker as quite a hog.
I hate the Widget locker icon in the notification area. It makes me sad.

Is there a way to change the lockscreen without root?

Maybe there is a setting that I am overlooking to change it
I hope there is, cause I hate it!

Download agile lock from market, or something like that

you can change the lockscreen wallpaper by going into settings / display / screen display. There is a section for the lock screen. Just click on wallpaper and you can change it. Took me a while to figure that one out.

Looking to replace the lockscreen myself, but in the meantime you can at least change the image on the stock lockscreen by going into the gallery, selecting an image, hit menu->Set As->Lock screen wallpaper
better than nothing!
got it thanks
I used to use WidgetLocker on my Desire when it was still running Sense. It worked generally well. Sometimes it would clash with the Sense lock screen and I had to go through the Sense lock screen after the WidgetLocker lock screen. Though most of the time it worked fine. Maybe it wont have any problem with the Touchwiz lockscreen.

Try Ripple Lock, it's a Honeycomb lock with a single pulltab in the middle. It will replace your lockscreen without root, there is even an option to fix double lock (Galaxy S issue), you will need to enable mode 2.
here's what is looks like.....
I'm using widgetlocker. Put it on my phone about 5 seconds after turning it on. Has been working perfect with no issues.

I have a passcode enabled and my lockscreen is only the screen where you are suppose to enter the passcode. How would I make the lockscreen be a normal lockscreen where I have to slide to unlock and then enter my passcode?
Ditto...WidgetLocker for me as well. Simple quick and easy.
I use lockbot.

[Q] Can I remove stock lockscreen

Hi all..this is my first post
Can i remove stock lockscreen
I'm currently running Blacknotes The Last Page, and i wanna change my locscreen using Holo Locker
But when i install i get double lockscreen
I try to remove using :
- Setting -> Security -> Set Screen Lock = None
- Using app : NoLock & No Lock screen
- Turn off in 14toggles
it all doesnt work for me
well i try to disable and enable my Holo Lockscreen and it works but everytime i turn off and on the phone
it back to double screen lock again
I heard it can be done in CM but for now i'm not plan to switch to CM 7 or 9
Try to read 5 related post on xda still no luck
Sorry for repost & my bad english
Thanks :good:
There is a 'no lock' app (actually more than one) which disables the lock screen. For me it only disables stock lockscreen, hope this works for you

Thanks for the respon :good:, but in my case No Lock and the others only disable stock lock screen temporary, once it restarted it back to both stock and holo lock screen

I wouldnt know anything else you could try, have you asked at the black notes Rom thread? Maybe someone there has an answer. Good luck

Yes i think i should ask Rio for that
but my post less than 10
maybe after 11 post i will ask in BN thread
Thanks :good:
Well, just now I found a solution. Since after you restart, it still goes back to double locker, I just Clear Data on the holo locker app, and then I do the Home Key Helper again on the holo locker app. As it looks, I need to do this, everytime I restart my phone.

[Q] [HELP] Can't disable slide to unlock security !

hello there people
i have a 3rd party locker and im on Atomic GB 7 (same problem on 8), EVEN IF i go to settings>location and security and set the security thingy to NONE ! still when i lock the phone and then on unlock i still get the systme slide to unlock ! THEN after sliding it i get my 3rd part lock app ! please help im pretty frustrated... even tried uninstalling lock screen.apk NO USE !
thanks,
O7
First of all, making your text red and big doesn't make it any better. Actually, it makes actually more difficult to read, because people are used to the regular sized text here.
My recommendation would be to check over the 3rd party lock screen app settings. Which app is it?

yeah i want to bother you when you read... anyway does it really matter ? im using Espier locker :silly: and checked the settings of it..all seems fine but when i lock the phone and relock i get the system lock first
yeah i get this issue to,when i'm using holo locker.I'm using Gin2jellybean.
EDIT:
In Holo Locker there is an option to use it as default but when you lock and fast click home button there is stock again,but if you lock and then after 5 sec it's ok and you can't have Sim lock activated,'cause when you restart your phone you have to put your pin code right away or you'll get no service holo locker doesn't support pin code "window" if you get me.
And yeah when i reboot my phone i get stock lockscreen then holo locker...

Why pull down of status bar in lock screen possible?

Hello,
I was a bit surprised when I found out that I can pull down my status bar while my s4 mini is locked - on my old s3 it was not possible.
It seems to me that it doesn't match the use of a lockscreen...
Can I anyhow deactivate this?
Thanks!

If you use a password/pin/pattern lock, that should disable the pull down.

Just tried - yes, that works... thanks! But can you tell me why it is possible if I don't use it?
Its always possible if you don't have a secure lock screen. It's been like that on my previous Galaxy S phones including the S3. I think its just so you can view any notifications without the need to unlock the device that's all.

Well... I think it a design decision by Google... No secure lock = access to your phone anyways = why bother, let have pull down menu enabled....
I also wish there was a feature to disabling it with insecure lockscreen...
AFAIK, This has been a feature of Android starting from Ice Cream Sandwich. If you don't have a secure lockscreen, then the statusbar can be pulled down in the lockscreen
If you'd rather not have a lock pin then you can use a 3rd party lock screen app like widgetlocker. I use it with its roothelper feature to disable the notification curtain when locked.
Now if only Kevin would add this feature to Nova Launcher so my kids couldn't change any of my settings! Come on Kevin!
