I realise that the sense lock screen seems to run interdependently from the ICS lock screen. Which means I can disable the ICS lock screen, but I will still encounter the sense lock screen. That kinda sucks.
I have used apps like "No Lock" but it takes ages to wake up the device and is buggy.
Any guys have any idea? I'm not really keen not having any lock screen...
Thanks for reading!
dun think u can do it yet...
I agree, that's just an idiotic design. If I use any method of securing my phone, it takes three tasks to get in:
* Press power button
* Drag silly ring around
* Perform ICS unlock task (face, pin, whatever)
That's just daft. HTC, if you're listening, you need to provide a way to disable your lock screen.
for all there want theres lockscreen gone get

Hello,
I just installed a Jelly Bean rom (Vicious) on my galaxy nexus and for the most part everything works great. One "feature" that drives me crazy is that enabling any security (PIN, pattern, face unlock) disables the slide to unlock screen. The problem is that I really like the ability to use the camera (by sliding to the right) without having to punch in my PIN code and unlock the phone... Does anyone know if there is a setting or mod that allows for sliding before security?
Thanks much! Nick
Try widget locker - it lets you add both sliders to load apps and widgets of your choice to your lock screen, then once you slide-unlock you get to your pattern or pin unlock screen if you have one.
I have a fairly minimal set up but apparently you can do some fancy stuff with it - they have their own user forums.
Available in play store,$2.99.
If you want something free there's a couple of other apps that do something similar although with fewer options (not tried by me).
Like many other people, I hate the sense style lock screen on the HTC one. After installing the GEL launcher to a more stock android experience all I wanted to do was get rid of the sense lock screen but the problem was my phone isn't rooted. But I found a way to get the stock lock screen minus some of it's features and here's how:
1. Personalize> Lock Screen Style> Select the No Lock Screen
2. Apps> All> HTC Lock Screen> Click force close
3. Apps> All> Lock Screen Command Control> Click Disable
4. Restart your phone
After doing these steps you should now have the stock android lock screen, the only problem being that so far I can only get it to have the unlock option instead of also the Google and camera unlocks. To get widgets however, you can go to Personalize> Lock Screen Style> widgets> settings> And then click the widget that you would like on the lock screen. By disabling the sense lock screen like this and instead of using an install method it is much easier to revert back to the sense lock screen by just enabling the Lock Screen Command Control.
Hope this has helped some of you who aren't rooted and are trying to get rid of the sense lock screen.
Hey, I HATE the default G4 lockscreen. I have tried a couple of the 3rd party ones, (CM unlock etc) but non of them are doing it for me.
Anyone have any suggestions on lock screens for the G4?
I like C Locker from the Play Store on my G3. Requires root.
I too hate the stock LG lockscreen, the animations are SO tacky. Is there any lockscreen replacement that works with 1. Encryption and 2. Smart unlock (Bluetooth paired devices)?
Would love a proper AOSP replacement, or at least removing those horrible animations.
Ever since I debloated, I can only use the stock wallpapers on the lockscreen. Not sure how that happened, haven't bothered to fix it, but it's kinda annoying.

Every I change my lockscreen wallpaper it reverts to the default one after a while. Anyone know a fix for that?
I tried some third party lock screens, but none really do the job. C Locker is closest but even as a system app, it doesn't totally lock down the device. When you open the camera/phone apps from the lock screen, they aren't opened in secure mode, so e.g. the camera app will let you browse the photo gallery, the phone app will let you call non-emergency numbers and open the contacts list, etc. It's also possible to open the recent app list, even though it's supposed to be blocked.
Also, all of the lock apps require first swiping to open the PIN entry keypad. I wish it was just automatically displayed like on the stock lock screen.
Really, my only gripe with the stock locker is that the buttons are so ugly and it keeps reverting to the default wallpaper. (But I love that with C Locker, I can add DashClock widgets... can't believe Google removed such a nice feature! But I don't want to use it with these security issues...)
Also C Locker does have a nice trick to block the home screen by installing itself as the home screen (and then launching either the lock screen or your actual home screen app as appropriate), but it has an issue with ADW Launcher, that causes it to run whatever action you set to the home button, every time it's opened. (I guess it launches the real home screen before you actually let go of the button.)

I have the same issue. When I reboot the lockscreen wallpaper reverts back to the default LG one. Have you discovered a fix?

I was not able to resolve that issue. Sorry.
I'm having another annoying issue ever since I installed XPosed. Sometimes the 1 key on the PIN entry just gets stuck and won't register. Only fix is to open the camera app and close it again, or reboot.
It might have to do with GravityBox lockscreen mods, since some of them broke it completely (just blank screen, no way to unlock); fortunately I could still reboot, and the problems wouldn't happen the first time after booting, so I was able to revert those tweaks. But even with all of the tweaks disabled, the stuck 1 key still happens at random.
So I figured out the stuck key issue. An app called Text Aide uses XPosed to force all text to be selectable by double tapping. That applied even to the lockscreen PIN entry buttons, so double tapping them (when typing repeated digits quickly) triggered the selection behavior, and then the button wouldn't respond. Removed that app, problem solved. Unfortunately I couldn't seem to prevent it applying to the lockscreen using the app's blacklist function.

Removing the stock gallery app means you can't change the lockscreen wallpaper.
(I know its been a year but just incase anyone is reading)

With the stock Gallery app I can change the lockscreen wallpaper, but after reboot it goes back to the default image.

Did you disable the default LG Gallery app? I heard that this causes the issue you described.
I recently reverted back to stock LP (20G) from CM12 and I'm having an issue with the lockscreen. I know that by default, LG has specific apps on the lockscreen but you can change them in Settings. I don't seem to have that option (see screenshot below). I also have the pattern lockscreen with smartlock for face detection enabled just to get Android Pay working. I've tried disabling the pattern lock, disabling the smartlock, wiping the cache, factory reset, everything. Anyone have any ideas on how to change those apps? I don't use the stock LG messaging app and don't need the Gallery to launch from the lockscreen.
Thank you in advance.
Change your lockscreen to Swipe, then it reappears in the lockscreen customize section. Edit your shortcuts, then change your lockscreen back to whatever you want.
It is on swipe. I tried turning it off, changing types, and it's currently back on.
