I used it to change my Gmail status bar icon. It's a little quirky but does work. You may have to try launching it multiple times and sometimes the phone will hard lock after applying a morph. A battery pull gets it going again.

Yes, it does work for some things but will usually lock up. You can pull the battery like you said or "adb reboot" like I prefer.

Hey guys,
New to the android world n I'm trying to get the hang of it so pls bear with me and my silly questions. Hopefully some of you may be able to help me with this question.
So as the title goes, I'm trying to remove the stock lockscreen slider since it seems to be kind of inaccurate everytime I slide to unlock. Sometimes it hits immediately but most if the time requires 2 tries.
I wish to replace it with something better but I don't know yet where to get the apk for it.
The phones rooted already and I am using sdx stock app remover. I am trying to figure out which apk I need to remove to disable the lockscreen. Does anybody know the name of the necessary apk file?
On top of that can I replace the deleted apk with a custom lockscreen? If possible, where can I find good ones.
I hope someone will be kind enough to help me. I really don't like the slider bar on the motoblur.
Thanks,
Aqua

I wouldn't mess with it until we get an sbf, but until then you can get a lock screen replacement from the market, there's lots of them like GOTO Lockscreen, Lock 2.0, FlyScreen, Widget Locker Lockscreen and many more Hope this helps
Cool! Thnx man. That helps a lot. I've been looking for an app to do so but never could find a good answer. I won't play around with the core files till things are clear. Thnx again.

Ehmm yea but that disables the security feature like the pin or pattern or Biometrics. What I want to disable is the screen lock slider.

get 'no lock' from the market
I'm with you on this, I would like to get rid of the stock slider and still keep my pin/pattern lock. I use widget locker so of course I have redundant screen locks whenever the security lock kicks in. 'no lock' on the market removes the security lock as well.

In my search for no lock, I ran across a few apps on the market that did this as well. Don't remember which ones, but if you search on 'no lock' a few of the apps that come up do exactly what you're looking for - you just have to put in the time and go through them...
The stock motorola slider and the PIN/Password security are all the same screen and cannot be interacted with separately in any standard manner. I'm looking into alternative ways of doing this, but they're very complicated even with root. Pattern is less strictly tied to slider, and already works better in 2.0 with WL 2.0.1 improving it more, but motorolas slider in front of the pattern is very difficult to deal with too.
Me personally I love using my fingerprint locker instead of the slider, it's quicker and more efficient. Just a quick heads up
I'd love using it too if it doesn't keep missing my fingerprint. Sometimes it could take up to 3 or 4 times to unlock. Don't know why.
So Im now using widget locker. Awesome app.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Is anyone else having problems with widget locker? Sometimes it'll randomly stop working and the screen becomes black except for the status bar, then I get a popup that it's frozen so I hit force close and i have to hit force close for it close. I usually have to reboot after it closes for it to work properly again.
Anyone else having similar issues?
Sent from my MB870 using XDA App
Yes I'm having problems as well lots of force closes... what do u mean "widget locker"? When an app or anything really malfunctions open the app drawer and long press the app. It will pop up a little box, click app info and then u can force it to stop.. this should alleviate the need for reboot..

Widget Locker is an app. It's a lockscreen replacement. For some reason money FC's and freezes a lot. Its the only thing that's giving me problems.

I seem to have that issue with "money" a lot also.
Sorry couldn't help my self. Sorry you are having issues, but I can't run WL even on stock... it's very buggy for me.
GL, Slim!
I have noticed CM7 and MIUI both have problems with Super User keeping the permissions set for apps that require root access. I find a lot of the apps that require root permissions act this way. Try turning off root helper in widget locker settings if you have that enabled and see if it still happens.
i did have an issue with giving root access to widget locker. the app would freeze, but once I did a reboot and tried again it worked. Now the only issue I have is I can not expand the notification window from the lockscreen. Never had an issue on stock GB, or using eclipse rom. but with CM7 i can not get to the notification window from the lockscreen.
oh oopsies sorry about the typo i just realized. anyways, i'll try the disabling root permissions when i get a chance. its comforting somehow to know that it's not just me
I have the same issue. Disabling the Root Helper fix it.
Before taking it into the sprint store. I was hoping someone in here has some input.
Stock Photon.
This morning my wifes photon got stuck getting into the home screen. It unlocks but all we see is a black screen with the status bar icons on top. Battery is full. I tried to take battery out, same issue.
I could see the home page when i use the power button but very slightly. Anyone know what could have caused this? And is there a way to uninstall an app using google play store through a desktop? After a while we get the force close from magic locker and the phone restarts. Im assuming its magic locker causing the issue.

I cant get to her apps. As soon as i unlock it i get a black screen.
When I turn on my wifi, the 4G icon disappears for a couple seconds then returns so both are in the bar. It shows data is transferring over wifi only but the 4g icon remains. Just thought this was a little strange since last night only the wifi icon showed up... I have tried toggling data, wifi, rebooting the phone, and rebooting the phone with different combinations of connectivity enabled. Just wondering if anyone else has both if these icons present in the notification bar and if anyone has any idea as to how to remove the 4g icon while wifi is enabled. I would rather not turn data off while on wifi so I am able to transition from one to the other. Thanks in advance!

There was another thread on this recently, but mine does not do this. The only time 3G/4G will show while on WiFi is if I'm doing something that requires mobile data, such as sending or receiving MMS.
Thanks. I looked but didn't see it earlier... Found it now though. Thanks for the response

For anyone else reading this thread, it was mentioned in the other thread that disabling the "callerId" app will fix this.

cant find a setting in the app to turn it off, is it non removable bloat?
Removing the calleridname bullsh*t stopped it for me. Try that.

1) Go to Settings/More Tab/Application Manager
2) Swipe right to the ALL tab
3) Find "Caller Name ID" and click on it
4) Click on "Disable"
4G icon should disappear in a second or two from your notification bar. Worked for me!
power control toggle
I downloaded a power control app from the play store and now I just turn my mobile data completely off when I am at home running WiFi. You can do the same thing in the notification bar toggle menu, I just like having the widget on my main screen.
I removed the Caller ID app but I still have both the Wifi/4G icons sometimes. Sometimes the 4G icon will disappear, sometimes not, can't figure out the root cause of it.
EDIT: Apparently running the "Remove" option inside this app only hides it from your launcher. It was still listed in the Application Manager. Disabling it there fixed the problem. Thanks guys.

That did the trick... Turned off caller id and 4G icon went away
Did anyone find that a complete wipe fixed this? I was about to try that with my wife's phone, as there seems to be some lingering text messages going through issues.
I will try that callerID disable thing as well prior to the reformat.
Something I noticed about a week ago, and that I've yet to figure out the cause of, is that trying to switch the app drawer icon's image while running Nova is no longer working. It does when you first install Nova, or after clearing the data, however it eventually stops working. Instead, holding down the icon's image in the edit pop-up makes the screen hang for a second (like it's going to open the icon preview screen) then revert back to the edit pop-up. A few others mentioned this over on Droid Life, so thankfully I don't appear to be the only one.
Any idea what may be causing this little glitch over time?

Hmm that's strange.. No problems at all here with Nova Prime. I've switched the app drawer icon many times and doesn't happen.
Maybe try clearing cache/Dalvic for the entire phone not just Nova data, may help may not
- Tapatalked from the G3
Been running Nova since day 3 so 3 and a half weeks at least (later upgraded to Nova Prime) and no such issue...
If it were happening constantly I think it'd be a little easier to pinpoint an issue. Best I can tell though, it only crops up after changing the icon pack a few times. Also, adding another app drawer shortcut to the home screen does not alleviate the problem either. Something is causing it to randomly lock up, and I believe it may have something to do with LG's stock software. Granted the only evidence I have to back that up stems from never having issues with any of my other devices and the fact that there is little to no reference of this in conjunction with Nova to be found on the web.

This is what I get for posting a topic after not searching for another answer since mid July when I first noticed it xD. Curious that it would require moving back to stock. That makes me believe it really is something in the code on LG's part that is causing it. Hopefully Nova can find a workaround for it.
