When I use e.g. Microsoft Next lock screen, the stock lock screen still appears after I unlocked the Next lock screen. Is there any way (e.g. using a Xposed module I didn't find [emoji24] ) to fully suppress the stock lock screen, so I only see the custom one?

Here's what I did/used. Can't guarantee it will work for everyone else, or with other lockscreens, but it's worth a shot.
I'm running ACDisplay on 4.6.3 w/ xposed, rooted, GApps & Play Services, etc. Nothing Amazon Lock Screen related frozen/disabled/deleted.
Installed ACDisplay (sideloaded an APK, then installed it. Don't know if it will work through the Play Store or not)
Opened ES File Explorer, made sure Root Explorer was turned on
found the installed apk (com.achep.acdisplay-1.apk) in /data/app
renamed it LockScreen.apk and moved it to /system/priv-app/
Opened up AC Display, granted it access to Accessibility Settings and Notifications
In ACDisplay>Settings>Lockscreen I moved the slider to On and made sure that "Enable when no notifications" was ticked
Opened Xposed and activated the ACDisplay module.
Rebooted
After the restart, the Amazon Lock Screen popped up once, and then after that, only ACDisplay has popped up.
No unlocking ACDisplay and then having to swipe the Amazon Lock screen.
No carbon fiber background where I have to turn off the screen and then turn it back on again to get my lockscreen
It just works. After further reboots, I don't even get the Amazon Lock screen the first time.

Is there a way to do that with another lock screen app (e.g. it doesn't seem to have a pattern lock fiction)?

I don't think you have to make acdisplay a system app. It works for me just using xposed. Not sure if making another locker a system app would work or if it's the xposed aspect of acdisplay that makes it function properly.
Sometimes, no idea why, the standard Fire Phone lock screen pops up, no idea, why. This is SO weird!!

How do I freeze the stock lock screen?
Gesendet von meinem SD4930UR mit Tapatalk
Actually, I don't really think that the Xposed integration has much to do with it. I had AC Display with Xposed integration enabled and was getting the same issues as the OP. It wasn't until I made AC Display the system app that it actually worked. So I'd go with that.
Next works for me without Xposed. Remove any pin or password you set up for the system lock screen, and select None for your pin/pattern in system settings. The system lock screen will keep showing up as long as you have it turned on with pin/password
I'm SO pissed at Amazon right now!! I tried to use a locker besides ACDisplay and either the stock lock screen popped up after the custom one or the system started to go haywire, when I froze the stock lock screen app (the home button stopped working, all the keyboards except for the stock one disappeared and forgot their settings, when they came back, the recent apps list was gone and probably stuff I didn't notice). That's the last time I buy any phone or tablet with anything other than good ol Android running on it. I had more than enough of this Android knockoff from Amazon and I wouldn't have bought this phone anyway, if I weren't broken as usual.

It's not Amazon if it works. Did you do what I described above, and only what I described? I didn't do anything fancy. I merely removed the pin I set in Amazon settings, and configured the rest inside of the Next app. It works without root, and has continued to work with root for almost a year now. I'm on Fire Os. Never installed CM.
Why would you freeze the system lock screen? Doing that created the problems you mentioned, not Amazon. Just reset the phone if need be, and then do what I described above. Worst case scenario is that it doesn't work,but your phone will.
May the odds be ever in your favor.

Too bothersome, I'm back with using the stock lockscreen again.

I'm Damn sure this method will permanently change the stock lock screen.
Hey, try using zui locker convert it to system app using titanium backup and make sure that you haven't put any security code to the stock lock screen, im sure it'll work fine and the stock lock screen will not pop up. And tell you what zui locker is the best, elegant and most rated locker on play store.

I'm looking for a Galaxy Nexus rom that can be set up to behave like this:
When I turn on the screen, I should get the slide-to-unlock screen. So a single swipe would unlock the phone.
BUT if the screen has been off for more than 10 minutes, AFTER the slide-to-unlock screen I'd like to get the pattern lock, so I have to draw my unlock pattern to unlock the phone.
That means I'd get two lockscreens after each other when the display has been off for more than 10 minutes, but just one lockscreen if the time was shorter.
(This is exactly the way in which HTC Sense worked by default on my old Desire.)
Im currently running rooted stock Jelly Bean, and I'm using Tasker to implement this behaviour. But this is not the most elegant way... so I was wondering if there is any rom that can be configured like this WITHOUT using Tasker...
Interesting request. I've got Tasker setup so it will disable lock pattern while I'm connected to my home wifi. Does the trick for me.

So far that I've seen, no ROM does this by default. You need to download an app like go locker or widget locker. That's at least what I was told. I posted the same topic here a few days asking if it was possible to do on a system level w/o an app. Only real answer I got was that, yes it is likely possible, but hasn't been done yet.

Ive actually done the same, in addition to my 10 minutes delay.
Still, the task sometimes just doesnt work and the pattern lock doesnt get reactivated as it should... not sure why.

So Ill stick to Tasker for now I guess.
Problem is, it only works reliable when I set the Tasker task to "keep device awake", but then it just eats up the battery...
Most of the time, it also works if the "keep device awake" setting is disabled, but not always...
I wonder why Android doesnt offer this by default, as HTC Sense did. I think it makes perfect sense, since it combines the usefulness of the quick unlock actions (launch camera or google search from lockscreen) with the security of a pattern lock.

+1. I like being able to unlock straight to different apps, but don't want to sacrifice security to do so. Hopefully we start seeing this implemented into ROMs soon, or at least an option to check, in order to allow for it. Thinking about purchasing widget locker until then. :/

Yeah but then I would only have an option to unlock to certain apps while home. Where my brother could pick up my phone and do whatever he wants with it if I happen to set it down. Just as well, if I am out and about I will only have a pattern unlock and I can't open to anything but the homescreen. I want both all the time. Would be nice if I didn't have to spend money on widget locker to do so. Go locker is too much, everything GO is too much. Too over the top. From what I remember go locker always lagged on every phone I used it on too. It's not really that odd, or difficult of a request I'd think. Especially since it was stock like that on gingerbread. Guess y'all forgot since you had ICS and JB for so long. I on the other hand just got my Stratosphere (2.3.5) replaced with this and it was stock on that phone.... Also not that it matters, but what's with the little copy pasta there lol?
Just to update the OP and whoever else this may concern - this is now incorporated into BAMF Paradigm version 2.2.

Hi guys is it possible to change lock screens ie with go locker or something similar, im downgraded and rooted, many thanks

Kind of?
I downloaded it using Mobogenie and the custom lockscreen does work, but the bottom bar pop ups and then after you unlock or use one of the options it brings up your Amazon lock screen
So you can have a fairly nice lock screen, then have the navigation bar popup, then unlock it, then have to unlock again. This is all I've found so far
I used Next Lock Screen by Microsoft. It's in the play store. It's perfect because it let's me use the auto hibernate (non root) feature without leaving my phone totally insecure. It's also kind of cool with all its features. I can't speak on how it affects battery life. I don't use my fire phone at all. I just installed my apps and wait patiently for someone much smarter than me to get root on 3.6.8
I wanted to share this app that I have been running my Verizon Note Pro.
Note 5 goodness on the Note Pro. I tested it on my lollipop Verizon variant.
This amazing app is by @xperiacle which gives us the Screen off memo, without unlocking the screen. The lock screen pops up for just a second before the black memo screen pops up but this is as close as we are going to get to the awesomeness that is the Note 5 screen off memo. I am linking the thread so you go there and thank him and get the app.
Make sure you do the following after install:
1. Give the app security admin under settings, then security, then device admin
2. Change s pen detachment option to none.*
3. Run the app once.*
3. You are ready to go!!
I use my tablet for work a lot to take quick notes and this app works like a charm. Try and out and post your thoughts.

Are you rooted? Running Xposed?
Force screen orientation to landscape with App Settings module.
Or just install HaveOwnOrientation so kinda no matter what you have open on your screen, it will rotate anyway you turn your device to.
For me this works landscape and I believe HaveOwnOrientation makes the magic, but can't be sure.
I got Pac Man Rom and SPen isnt part of OS like TouchWiz, but as extra app can be usefull.
Hi there,
I'm using a Lock Screen app for ages now.
it's an app that turns off the screen without having to press the physical power button.
This one, for example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=wq.lockscreen
The issue started since installing the lock screen app and now I can't unlock the phone using my finger print, but only using the pattern. I tried several apps now and none of them worked for me. Only when I uninstall the app the finger print function works flawlessly..
Does anyone here came across this king of issue and found a solution ?
Thanks, guys !

There is a setting for "Smart lock and Nexus imprint" Says Experimental. Works every time for me.
It's a mm issue, not your hardware or software.
The confirmed workaround is use root and nova prime gesture to lock ie double tap/swipe down or up etc. Nova launcher prime is on a sale now too, double goodness

I'm using Nova for along time now, i know there's an option to add a gesture in order to lock the screen, but it doesn't work like any other app i've tried. I don't have root yet on my device, but Nova hasn't asked me for root either.

I'm not sure how it works without root. Give it a try though. It works the same as other lock apps except you're using nova gestures in the home screen.
That's the problem here, all other lock apps can't make it work.
Iv'e tried with Nova now, same issue :\

Any app that offers a real screen off without lock function (which wouldn't interfere with Imprint) needs root to do so.
Nearly all of the apps that provide a screen off function without root use the same API method which by design or oversight on the part of Google overrides both Nexus Imprint unlocking and Smart Lock settings on 5.x devices.
There is a Google Issue tracker thread here - star if this design decision/oversight irritates you - https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=191955
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iglint.android.screenlockpro has a working method but it is really just smoke and mirrors, not a true screen off action.
All it does is temporarily reduce the screen timeout to a minimum value (10 seconds) and sets a black screen overlay until the screen has naturally turned off. It works fine unless you invoke the shortcut and decide within 10 seconds that actually you wanted your screen on.
Nova can't do it with it's standard method either.

If you already use an automation app like Tasker or MacroDroid along with Secure Settings (I prefer MacroDroid) it's pretty easy to emulate the https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iglint.android.screenlockpro workaround and add some extra functionality to cancel the delayed real screen off if you decide you want to interact with the device in the few seconds after activating
Basically the steps are:
Use Secure Settings to set screen timeout to 1 millisecond (this actually results in a 7 second screen time out)
Set brightness to minimum
Set a 100% screen dim
Set Immersive Mode (MacroDroid doesn't support this natively dunno about Tasker - but there are apps that support this via intent so doable).
Reverse the above when the Screen off system broadcast is received and on whatever trigger event you like - I've got a proximity sensor wave to wake set up anyway via MacroDroid so just use that.
I have no idea what happened - I don't remember enabling anything or not between before and after -
But in the past, unlocking phone I would simply either press finger to the home button or hit power. I'd be greeted by the pattern (backup security) with launcher background.
NOW, I'm greeted by some bright blue page with an ad. I have to swipe up, which THEN I'm presented with my usual lock screen (with the pattern and accepting fingerprint).
What is this and how do I ditch it? Searching at other threads, I'm NOT using ES File Explorer (which seemed to be a contender for this?) and using Nova Launcher as my .. er.. launcher.
Edit to add - I've removed a lot of bloatware apps, but apparently missed this one.
