[Q] Disable stock lockscreen completely? (GB)

I was on JB for a while using a custom lockscreen it worked fine as I was able to disable the stock on from the android settings.
But back on GB, it seems that setting didn't excist and all these "no lock" apps don't work atall! is there anyway to disable it or does ICS also have the option to disable the lockscreen?

Mmmmm...
Hi! I think there's no such feature in GB, and every app for lockscreen are just "layers", and I often see the stock lockscreen 'til the other one appear, there's a MOD you could try to see if work for you, I personally change the rom, I'm on ICS now, with Xperia Z lockscreen type...

this feature isn't reliable in GB. when i want to switch the lockscreen back on (when not at home for example) i have to reboot to get it back. not dixperia thing - every gb stock rom i tried has this problem. i haven't tried CM7 based ones though.

I think CM has this feature, and as far as I can remember, it used to work. At least in my MM used to work and in CM for Samsung Galaxy S too.

You can use no lock app to disable lockscreen it can partially solve your problem

What thirdparty lockscreen app do you use? Cause I like the one in ICS from Xperia Z (which isn't available for GB), but as any lockscreen app I found, it hasn't the feature from Xperia NXT lockscreen (when you have new SMS, there is a "slide-to-unlock line" with the text of this message and when you unlock it, it show you directly the message, this also work with calls etc. - I don't know how to describe it properly).

well you can use no lock app from playstore or you can use cm7 toggle I've ported cm7 toggles to stock GB and I can completely disable lockscreen

G3 features with 3rd party launchers?

will my device still retain features such as knock on, knock codes, lg's customized nav buttons, qslide apps, multi windows if I use a 3rd party launcher like nova launcher?

yes. the only thing you will lose is the lg specific widgets, the lg health page and the ability to knock off anywhere (you can still double tap the status bar to knock off)
i'm using nova and all the other lg stuff works great

Thanks, but how about the nav buttons? I don't want to lose the ability to rearrange the nav buttons and quick notification pull down button

Yes all of that will work fine

I wish there was a way to still get the LG widgets and health app outside of the stock launcher. I'd also love the lock screen clock as a widget

Knock off will only work if you double tap the status bar. It's unfortunate.

I found a solution by binding nova launcher gesture to a screen off app

I'm also using Nova. I wish it came with gestures for locking the screen. It would have been easier to replicate the knock off feature

If you are using Nova Launcher, you can create a shortcut to the LG Health app.

I found the "Turn Off" little free app works beautifully for that.

Just install it, then bind the double tap gesture in Nova to "Turn off" shortcut, and you get an exact replacement for Knock Off.

Turn Off utility works great. Thanks for the link.

Thanks for the lead on the program, and for the tip on hitting the notification bar.
I was afraid I'd have to make the tough choice between the functionality of the double-tap and just using Nova.
Forgive me if I missed the explanation, but why doesn't the double-tap just work in Nova like in the standard launcher?

I think that the double tap gesture in Nova needs to be tapped on a blank/empty area without any icons/shortcuts/widgets.

using g3 tweaksbox I set the double tap on home key to turn screen off and enabled double tap on status bar. so when using phone with one hand I can reach the home button easily.

AOSP style lockscreen shortcuts

Hi all,
I really like the stock lock screen, mostly because of the clock but I dont like the way I have to drag shortcuts to unlock the phone to that app. It's there a way to mod the stock lock screen so I can slide the lock icon in a specific direction to unlock a specific app, like AOSP? Thanks

[Q] Landscape TW

I've been searching for either a flash able zip or xposed module that allows touchwiz to rotate into landscape.
Has anyone come across something?

Try Nova Launcher

Xposed module app settings go to touchwizhome.apk orientation force rotation or search note 3 forums for rotating twlauncher

This is the way to do it. The problem is, if you rotate the touch wiz home screen, some stuff on screen gets cut off.

Thank you both. I will give it a shot.
