[Q] Lock Screen - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have looked, but since I'm not even 100-percent that "lock screen" is the thing I'm talking about, I wasn't surprised not to find the answer I am looking for.
I've updated my Streak on ATT to 2.2
Baseband Version
GAUSB1A131800-US
Kernel Version
2.6.32.9-perf
OEM Version
GAUSB1A131800
Build Number
12821
I miss the old lock screen (if that is indeed what it is called). I like having the network info, battery charge state, and other info right in front of me when I press the power button to turn the screen back on. Also, I don't really like the swipe to unlock "feature" of the 2.2. Is there any way to revert to the 1.6-style lock screen. Oh, and if it isn't called a lock screen, what is it?
Thanks

Do you use this with an exchange server that requires a password to unlock? If not, then Widget Locker is what you want (I think). It is a paid app ($2?) that lets you completely customize the lock screen with any information you want on it.
I didn't keep my 1.6 long and I don't remember what that lock screen had on it, but I think widget locker is the app for you.

I do use it with an Exchange server that requires a password.
I mainly miss the battery percentage when I press the power button. I don't want to go through all the hoops to see how much battery I've got left... that's my biggest gripe. Sure I can see it when I'm charging, but I want to see it anytime I press the power button and end up on the lock screen.

I would love to get the old lockscreen back, too! Isn´t it somewhere hidden within the Options like the old WLAN & Network settings windows is?

Is this of any help?

Thanks! But sadly it isn´t! This was how the Lockscreen looked like, it has shown some infos about provider, calender, battery etc.:

I made it with loopy tweak and excluded from task killer and even if i reboot the processes with FMR (great app) it's still alive only the airplane mode problem. I think the Pin insertion is included in standard launcher /lockscreen so it doesn't work but i don't need airplane mode LOL so everything 's good.

[Q] Couple App/Widget questions

A few questions...
Anyone use the stock photo album widget? I have one on one of my screens for when my phone is in its dock at work. It works fine when it is in the dock bc It's charging, and I have it set to keep the screen on when charging. However, when it is out of the dock, and the screen goes off, when I turn it back on, the most recent image is all it shows and it will not go into rotation. I have to open it back up and say "OK" to my selected pictures to get it working again. I don't have any battery saving or task killing aps, so I know I don't accidentally have it set to auto end on screen off. All I have is the stock Samsung Task Manager.
Know of any fixes for this? Maybe try another widget like it on the market?
Also, I came from an Atrix and they had a task manager that I just simply loved. It was smooth and simple and I could add what I wanted to an auto end list. As far as I know, Samsungs T.M. doesn't allow this, and all the apps I find on the market do more than I want it to. I don't want something like Juice defender or what not. Just something simple that allows me to put stuff in an auto end list when screen goes blank. Does stock Samsung T.S. do this and I am just not seeing it? Any 3rd party apps you suggest for this function?
Last thing... Know of any widgets that ACCURATELY show info like CPU speed and temp that is transparent? I like a very materialistic look and I am not liking the black background of the Antutu widgets.
Something that would look good with this...

[Root] [KitKat] How to Disable Knock On

I love knock on, and it works great for me. But some people apparently have a problem with the phone turning on in their pocket. The Sprint ZV6 update supposedly has some changes included to address this problem, but how effective it will be is anyone's guess. I was recently involved in a discussion elsewhere as to whether it would be possible to use Tasker to prevent knock-on from working in your pocket, but I don't think it is.
I did discover another approach, though, that will work. Verified on the LS990 with BarRin v2, but it should work on any rooted G3 with a stock-based kernel. ( IF you have an AT&T or T-Mobile version, you can probably find this setting in HiddenMenu without using the Shortcut Master app, by entering the dialer codes as in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/mod-root-rid-lag-g3-t2819365)
Note that this will turn off both knock on and knock OFF. If you still want to use knock off, you'll need to use one of the many screen off apps in the play store, in combination with an alternate launcher like Nova or Apex.
1. Download and install Shortcut Master: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite
2. Open the app and select Search from the menu. Enter hiddenmenu in the search field, and press search.

3. Scroll down and find the row for com.lge.hiddenmenu.settings.LgSrvKnockonSetting
4. Tap that row, and then tap on "Launch"
5. Change the toggle from On to Off, then back out of Shortcut Master.
You can repeat the steps to turn it back on.
Been using this since day one. Worse idea I've ever heard of, having this enabled. I'm sure other will appreciate this too.
Thanks.
also for verizon,search knock and you should find it for verizon users
Same, I disabled this right away back in Sept using the exact method posted. But awesome tutorial, pics and all. Good work!

Marginally, yes but barely noticeable. Unless it was constantly going off in your pocket, thats a big battery waster, lol.

Any idea how to completely remove the auto rotation button?

Hi guys,

I don't think there is a way and personally I haven't found anything. This appears to be something Google did with Android Pi, it shows up in Nova Launcher also. From what I can tell by reading and useage (during the beta) the button appears when orientation lock is activated, when it is set to auto-rotate the button doesn't show up at all. I don't see any app or setting that controls it, so it maybe something that requires some form of app or other modification to get rid of.
I have only seen it appear when rotation lock is active and the phone has detected itself as being held opposite of what the rotation lock is set at. For example if the screen is locked at portrait orientation then the button only appears when it is held in landscape orientation.

There shouldbe a way because if I enable or diasable auto-rotation I don't have that icon on my screen. (and I don't know how to make it appear)
