Anyone know how to enable the default Android slider lock screen on the A101?
I too would like to know if this is possible
I think this is impossible
Archos propably has deleted this option in their android version.
but maybe there's an app that simulate the normal lock screen?
This could fix your problem
In the Market, there is an app for this (WidgetLocker). But it doesn't work on the Archos.
Try Lock Screen App from the android market or an internal feature "system settings -> location & security -> set unlock pattern"

Widgetlocker works on my A70IT. I'm using it right now.
How did you do that? When I install the app on my A70, there's no lockscreen. The screen's black, and the app has force closes. It says, the lock is activated, but ir doesn't work.
Could you say me, how I can make it working?

Sorry, I can't really help you with that, because mines worked perfectly from the start.
I bought it from the Android Market, and it installed and ran right from the start. You might have to reset your device, or you were low on System storage memory. I always try to keep mines at 90-110 mbs free.
In case you want to know, I'm running the stock rom from Archos. I recently updated it to 2.3.20, and it still runs fine.

Any info how to make the default froyo lockscreen in portrait ?pls advice
I had to buy WidgetLocker
Lock 2.0 will also force lockscreen to portrait.
Full version
Demo version
LockBot also uses portrait.
Free version
Paid version
I played a bit with LockBot free and it works better if you use something like NoLock to turn off the phone's built-in lockscreen. I'm not using a security lock.
I like LockBot better from the few minutes I tried them out.
Edit: the free version of LockBot has no ads and has three lockscreens you can choose from. It also allows unlocking form the menu button. See attached images for Lockbot free lockscreens.
To choose a theme in the free version open Lockbot from the app tray. Tap My themes. Then hit the menu key and then playlist. In the free version you can pick from the three themes pictured in the attachments. The ones you select will rotate. Select only one if you want the same lockscreen each time.
How do u get lock 2.0 to so lock screen in full mode?

That's my current setup. I changed the backgrounds for the lockscreens to pics of my 3 year old grand kids.
LockBot works with the PowerAmp lockscreen widget, except with the direct unlock setting in PowerAmp. So when I am running PowerAmp I have to unlock twice, which is how I had it setup with the stock lockscreen.
I have widgetlocker, but it irritates me how the first time I try to wake my phone up, the stock lock screen is there and the phone immediately shuts back off. I'll try nolock when I get home, thanks for the info!
Edit: Worked like a charm.

Hi,
Widget Locker is really good however the Home Screen bypasses the security. Howevr you must use the inbuilt lock for it to work. But note, if you have a widgetlocker background for example black then when you go to unlock it you will see your homescreen background which doesnt really fit in? if you know what i mean?
LockBot Pro was really good and my preferred choice however that too bypass security. Even though it has its own Inbuilt Lock. Pressing the Home gets rid of it...apparently it say's its fixed but you can still press the Home and you're in....
---
I downloaded Lock 2.0 which has a inbuilt Lock 4 Digit Pass. Which is what I want however I can't move the slider down. ?? the background pictures shows correctly but then the slider is like half way down the screen.. does anyone have a idea how this works??
Thanks
I didn't like NoLock because the volume and camera keys bring the phone back to life.
I found Screen Mode Widget Lite overcame that problem.

Is there a setting or way to disable the lock screen in CM7.1?
I have tried the Notification widget to turn it off, but every time I reboot I have to disable it again, looking for a permanent solution.
I believe there is a setting built into CM7, but if I'm wrong, I use an app called No Lock free from the market that does exactly what you want, and it'll still be there after a reboot.

I search all over in CM7 Settings, but couldn't find anything...
Edit: permanent solution which sticks even after reboot is to disable screen lock from CM settings> tablet tweaks> disable screen lock.
Sorry had to edit the post.

The one place I didn't check!!
Who would have thought? Of course Tablet tweaks makes much more sense than putting it in Lock Screen settings...
Hi, i was using the official Ginger 2.3.4 from Motorola with motoblur and one of the things i liked about it is that the screen never rotate on desktop or the app drawer but the apps and games do.
So i was wondering if anyone knows a way to do this with any of the custom roms out there? currently im using Aura 1.2.2.2 with faux133 kernel and baseband .36, right now all i can do is use a rotation app that would disable the rotation with a click but thats not what i want, i want only the apps and games be able to rotate by them-self but the app drawer and the desktop not.
Also I'd like to know if there is a fix available out there for the rain drop or something what is called the bug, that if u keep your screen pressed for more than 10 -15 secs it will disable the touch until u release ur finger and press it again. I know i read somewhere something about it but now i cant find any info on how to fix this cause i like to play emulators a lot and its a pain for them as u can imagine.
You can use tasker for auto rotation on several apps

I'm running 4.4.2. No matter what I do, I can't get my the stock messaging app to stop sending me notifications. I set my default SMS app to Go SMS Pro, but I still get notifications on my lock screen. I tried enabling it and turning off notifications, but I still get a notification on my lock screen.
What am I missing?

A. I would avoid go sms like the plague.
B. I have them disabled in the stock app (needs to be set as default to do it) then set what ever app you want as the default but make sure all messages are read in the default app before switching.

I did exactly that but when I get an SMS the stock messaging icon shows up on the lock screen, and dragging it towards the "lock circle" opens up the stock messaging app.

What device do you have? Custom rom?
I have a Posh E500 (poshmobile.com/catalogue/titan-hd-e500/). It's not the greatest phone in the world (and almost certainly the worst named), but it gets the job done. Anyway it has it's own custom Posh ROM and I recently rooted it using Kingo. Hope that helps.

Then I am betting that it is the OS that is preventing it. What you cold try as you are rooted. You could try freezing the APP with Titainium backup. Not sure about Kingo as I never use that myself. But try freezing the app. You will need to pro version. Or you could just delete the messaging apk, but make a backup of it just in case.
I tried renaming the Messaging apk (MMS.apk). But all that did was disable the app itself, and not the notifications. I would still get a Messaging icon notification on the lock screen, only this time if I dragged it onto the lock icon it would attempt to open the app and then fail.

Thats because it was still there. Try removing it and rebooting. Just make a copy of the apk somewhere so if it breaks something you can put it back.
Cool, let me give that a try.

Didn't work. I still get that darn smiley face notification on the lock screen. When I drag it to unlock the device, the OS doesn't do anything at all.

Then it is built into their os. This is part of the issue with custom OEM roms. You could try using a different lockscreen.
Got it. It might be difficult, but I think I'll try putting a new ROM on it. Thanks for your help.

I love this phone but everytime the screen turns off whatever app I had open closes (except Google apps). Does anyone know how to fix this? And to keep my app open so I can just pick up where I left off?

Hello, might have something to do with the battery saving functionality. Have you turned off battery optimisation for those apps?

Ya that is the first thing I tried and it doesn't work.
If you haven't changed any default memory management setting (see developer's settings), then try to lock the app in Recent Apps, but in this case an app will never close and will also restart at boot.
I have checked all developer options and locked the apps and they still close. Is anyone else experiencing this?
If anyone is following this it turns out that if you have a work profile and use a different lock for each profile, that is what was doing it.
