Has anyone found a screen off/lock app or widget that properly works with the Atrix? I have tried Extended Controls, Widgetsoid, and Screen Off and Lock. They all "work" in a sense but they also take you to the "Stock" lock screen before actually turning the screen off.
I used to use Screen Off and Lock, but it stopped working correctly with 2.3.4. I deleted it.

Below is a link to 'Elixir' in the Market. Give it a try, see if that's what your looking for. One of its widget shortcuts has a 'Screen Off' function.

*Edit*
After looking more at this app it won't do what your looking for. The developer says there's is a new version coming soon, so maybe then it will have that feature.

Same issue. All those apps mentioned by the OP worked beautifully before 2.3.4. I really had gotten used to just pressing a widget instead of the awkward fingerprint-reader-power-button. Now they just throw you to the lockscreen.
I hope they figure out a fix.

After an update, Screen off and Lock quit. It would lock the screen, but no off, even after a long time. Uninstalled and reinstalled it. Works fine again!
But, it does take you to the system shutdown screen first!

Looks like I found a simple little Widget that works well. You can give it a try see if its what your looking for. I just put the widget on my home screen, when it's pressed it goes in to a 5 second count and then shuts the screen of completely.

ditto. It's just like pressing the power button to lock.
That's good news, I guess all it takes is getting rid of Blur

Hi guys,
The dell streak doesnt have an LED to use for notifications or charging status.
fear not! This app has you covered!
http://www.appbrain.com/app/noled/com.led.notify
when your screen is off, you can have a icon displayed onscreen (while the rest of the screen isnt lit up) for txts, missed calls, gmail, email, calander, gtalk, charging status etc
all customised, any colour!
Enjoy!
(works on my DJSteves 1.7)
Tried it but notificatons not working. I use ICE as my lockscreen. I wonder if that is interfering? The test worked. I also use nolock to block stock lockscreen.
I wish it would work as it is a great idea!
i have no lock screen mods and it works great, only little thing is that i have to have the widget on the home screen =S know if i can remove it after ive turned noled on?
ICE lockscreen was messing NoLED up. When I turned off ICE, NoLED worked.
You can remove homescreen widget, but you have no easy way to disable NoLED if it malfunctions.
Does not work with a replacement lock screen.
Only shows notices for messages, emails, etc, that arrive when the screen is off, so if you ignore a text or email when doing something else no reminder when you lock the screen.
Other than those two limitations it works fine.
NoLED FAQ and dev home page - these are good reading and summarize a lot of what you'll find in the development thread.
I do not think it's a good idea on our device. LED displays like the sgs's use much less juice than our LCD ones, plus I don't really know how it works on LEDs but in LCD there is always a lamp that is turned on despite it being almost all black. it could like suffer from excessive usage. plus, the three softbutton LEDs stay lit all the time with this app.
i'm absolutely not saying the app is bad, just i think it was not designed for our phone.
streakled is better (although it only displays sms)
Totally agree, great idea and with the display time set to something short I guess its usable, but the streak backlight is power hungry, the phone wouldn't last half a day with it always on.
Guys,
Why don't you use StreakLed 2.0.3? It's gree on the Market. Give it a try
Cheers,

Unfortunately it only works with DJSteve's ROMs - it's not an option for those of use who choose the stock ROM.

Are you rooted ?
My app drawer button is non-functional ish. The app drawer button doesn't always select in the green tone to show it's been activated. I know the screen recognizes it's being pressed because the full-screen weather animations stop once I press the screen but the rosie button doesn't... go. I tried resetting HTC Sense, no go. I don't know what's wrong.
Anyone else got this issue?

I've never had that happen. Are you using the stock HTC skin, or are you using one of the themed skins? Just curious on that. If you're not using the stock one, perhaps try switching back to the stock skin? A battery pull maybe? Sorry I don't have a better suggestion for you.

Well you can try rebooting the phone and removing the battery for a few seconds, but I'm going to assume you have done that already.
Second would probably be a hard reset, which I guarantee to fix your problem since it seems to be some sort of software hiccup.

EDIT : Get a drawing app and see if you can draw in the bottom left corner. If you can't, then you have a problem with the digitizer not registering in that area.

Okay I will try the drawing app, and yeah I've pulled the battery to no avail. I'll try the app, then just see if it works itself out.
EDIT: Drawing app worked fine, it's a Rosie issue. Hmm.
on that note
On the same note. Is there a way to change what is launched when you tap the button?

I don't believe that's possible without full root. It is definitely possible to remap the rosie buttons, but I don't think we can until we get S-off. (could be wrong, because there's a ton of talented devs here, but I dont think so)
Someone (literally just forgot who) is trying to repackage all of Rosie itself so it can be installed as an apk with a ton of mods, but again, I can't remember who.
Oh also, the button is now fully functional. Just kind of started working randomly, but oh well! That works for me.
So I've been trying to figure out how to get rid of my lock screen...I selected the option to have no screen lock in the settings multiple times though it still prompts the lock screen...I use goexplorer...is that making it still lock(The lock screen is the stock version, not golock or anything)?
Yesterday I switched between sense and golauncher and for both selected no lock screen in the settings, though that still didnt work...lock screen still present.
any idears? Also, is there a way to get pandora planted on the lockscreen...I remember when I was testing the beats with the stock music player, you could change the song and so on from the lock screen...that was nice.
Try WidgetLocker.....it's not free, but it's great.
Oh thanks for the recommendation though I'm trying to get avoid any lock screen, so I can check my phone without encountering the lock screen

Pretty sure you can, maybe you can see if it works on your phone?
Settings>Security>Set up screen lock> Select "None"
I cant remember if it worked when I first got the phone(when I didnt have goexplorer)..the nexus has the same feature and it was great not having to unlock it all the time...I just dont wanna hafta uninstall the goexplorer and loose all my settings :/
Nearly impossible unless you are rooted.

all that does is remove any security from the lockscreen (pin, pattern, etc), not the lockscreen itself.
Hmm I'm waiting to root after the ICS update...did it not work on your phone(going to the settings and changing the security preference)?

That takes away the pin or pattern screen, not the lock screen with the ring.

I use ADW, and when I have my NoLock app widget set to Unlock, I get no lock screen. When I turn the screen on, it goes straight to the last screen I was on.

I'm currently wavering bettwen Nexus 5 and G2, I like the bigger screen and better battery life of G2. But the location of the G2 screen locking button is annoying, it makes me really uncomfortable.
Yesterday I tried and found that I can lock and wake up the screen by double clicking it, which is a relief. But I'm also wondering if I flash the CM or other customized ROM into G2, will I still be able to do this? I don't like the stock Rom at all. Have you guys got used to the location of the button?
Thank you.

The location of the lock button doesn't bother me, never noticed out actually, but whatever the case is, I think the lock screen effect is a LG thing. You probably won't have to deal with any of the LG ui stuff if you're using cm rom...

Yes, on CM you still have knock on by default, it's built into the kernel. Knock-off is coming soon, or there are mods that add the function back in.

So you tap the screen twice every time you want to lock the screen? But sometimes if you tap on the app icon, it will open the app instead of locking the screen. How did you solve this problem?
No, for off it needs to be a black spot when not in lock screen or the status bar. In lock screen, anywhere. Yes works on custom roms, but on custom rooms knock off only works from status bar unless third party app.
On CM, you can work around by using a launcher such as Nova Prime with double tap options and a free app from the at store that turns the screen off.
Set Nova to double tap = launch screen off app.
I just set my screen off time to 15s and never worry about it turning it off.
On stock LG Rom, the launcher has double tap off built in. You can also double tap the status bar from within any app.
I don't think I've ever used my hardware buttons. It's very intuitive.

I set up Fingerprint Quick Actions app on my old Axon 7 so that when I pressed the fingerprint reader, it shut off the screen. Now, when I try to set up the same system on the S9+, I can set the screen to turn off, but when using the fingerprint reader to wake the phone up afterwards, I am forced to do a pin-unlock instead of biometric.
Does anyone know a fix or is this not something that can be done anymore in Oreo?
Same problem here...all third party lock screen app is not supported in this sense.
use Nova Launcher and Jews the problem mentioned above will not. Double tap gesture to turn off the screen

it wont work as said by OP, both widget type and double tap screen lock/off will make fingerprint unusable since it will ask for a pin. really wanted this too, hope we can find a solution.

Actually, Nova DOES work, because it doesn't actually lock the screen. It resets the screen timeout to a very short value, turns the screen off, and then resets both after the device locks on it's own (or you take some action). I use it all the time, but it only works from a Nova home screen, not from anywhere else.

For a similar outcome I am using the 'screenoff' app and it's working for me (Snapdragon SM-G965U1 running Pie)
Because I haven't done enough posts I can't post the link but search for github and jsalatas and ScreenOff and you'll find it
Powers off screen with app button instead of fingerprint sensor and then allows fingerprint opening.
