First post haha.
Okay so here is my goal: I'd really like to be able to read my most recent text BEFORE I unlock my pattern lock screen. Preferably in the form of a popup. I really don't care if it's over it or on top I just want to be able to read it before I unlock.
I've done a good deal of searching, on xda and elsewhere, and I really can't find any information on how I might be able to do this.
I tried playing with the popup settings in handcent and I have got the pop up to show up over the lockscreen, but if the screen turns back off then I have to unlock the phone to see the text again. Is there anything I can do about that?
I even tried playing around with Sms Popup with no luck either.
Could I perhaps somehow remove the background on my pattern lockscreen so that I can see the popup behind it?
I'd also like to add that I'd really rather not use any third party lockscreen apps like WidgetLocker or Lock 2.0 because I really don't like them.
I know it's kind of a specific question but it's just kind of an aesthetics thing I guess.
I appreciate any and all help. Thanks.
Hi all,
I was wondering if there was a way to get rid of the glass lock lockscreen on my SGS II. I am using a replacement lock screen, widget locker and also use NoLED.
I find that when I receive a NoLED notification upon waking the phone I will have the glass lock screen which I need to unlock and then widget locker to unlock after that.
Is there any way to remove the glass lock screen altogether?

only way to remove the lockscreen would be to use a Custom ROM which has a different lock screen, due to how android works though there is no way to properly disable the lockscreen, Although Lock replacement apps can work around it i dont think Noled has that ability.
Custom roms ...Widget Locker..you can force the stock app never to open ...works for me ..
Delete noled and use missed it, put that widget on your home screen ..probelm solved ..
Here's my widget locker screen ....

How did you force the stock app never to open?
Does anyone know how to put the missed it widget to lock screen? I heard you need a custom lock screen app then allows you to put missed it widget at lock screen. Which custom lock screen lets you do that??
Thanks
I think you could try with apps like WidgetLocker etc. could help you with these
notifications waking up the screen are killing me.. if my phones in my pocket and the screen wakes up, then every step i take, my thigh hits the screen and keeps it awake for hours till i check the phone or it dies first..
sometimes when i get certain notifications, such as low battery, it keeps the screen on indefinitely (ironicly battery warning is a huge battery killer lol..), so does charger connected/disconnected.
anyways there's my rant, my question is,
; has anybody come across a way to stop the screen from turning on when getting a notification? it already lights up, vibrates, has a smart reminder option, and a led indicator, I'd really love to stop the screen from lighting up.
ill give 'Thanks' to anyone throwing out suggestions

are you talking about the sms app? use a custom one
SMS app is one culprit, so is email, Google talk, battery notifications, LINE messager, and a zillion other 3rd party apps.. itd be much more realistic to find a lock screen off solution, or remove the service that lets apps lightup the screen

Easy fix, get SMS popup app, go into the stock SMS app and disable notifications, now go into the SMS popup app and in notifications , click and enable notifications. Now go into additional settings and unchecked screen on for pop-up . That's it, you'll get notifications without the screen turning on.

interesting. let's wait till OP tries it
Soraxd,
What lock screen do you use?
I have a good workaround, but it involves using WidgetLocker lock screen which is hands down the most killer optioned lock screen around.
Let me know if your interested.

soraxd,
Workaround...works pretty much flawless on my S3 with ICS.
Install Widget Locker. You mentioned that it was not as fast as your stock lock screen. On my old retired HD2 and my 6 month old S3, W.L. is actually faster than stock. The key thing is that you have the settings maximized...which include disabling the stock lockscreen from withing ICS/JB settings. (I can give you more info if it runs slow for you) I just set my wife's new S3 with the same configuration and it works perfect. I can unlock and relock W.L. pretty darn quickly...no delays at all.
Then in W.L., I use a simple Iphone style unlock to slide and have that at the bottom of my W.L. screen so my thumb can easily reach. I have many widgets on the screen. (agenda/last caller/clock etc) Then I use a free app named Invisible Lock Widget. You drop this widget into W.L., and you LAYER IT OVER all other widgets except the slide to unlock. (This is one of W.L.'s coolest features)
First off, W.L. should be set for 10secs time out...so less chance of your leg re-triggering it in the first place. 2nd thing, when your leg triggers the screen because it has turned on due to a notification or what-have-you, then Invisible Lock Widget actually re-locks the screen. It's that simple. Sometimes I press the menu button to turn my screen on to look at the time, and 2secs later I click the screen and it quickly and easily turns off thanks to I.L.W. Once you get used to it, you will find it is very convenient and efficient. Like I said, it's a work around and also has other benefits.
Widget locker can be set to suppress the "power button long press menu" if it gets triggered in your pocket. It cannot suppress the "low battery" warning popups that show up above W.L. but the dev might be adding that. (I requested it) I have a Tasker workaround for that. If your running Tasker, I will share that with you. It works like a charm. With all these little workarounds, I no longer do the "Pocket Launch thing".
Hello, just joined the forums, sorry if this is in the wrong place.
I want to change the lock screen on my Samsung Galaxy S5 and still be able to use the finger print scanner, I have tried my locker but I couldn't seem to get it to work with the finger print. I am testing with dodol locker at the moment but I can't see any option on there either.
I just want a simple background with date/time, weather, pedometer, battery status, camera shortcut, alarm status and a list of new calls/messages/emails. Also would like buttons for music when it is player such as pause/play and skip.
Is that possible? What app should I use?
Thanks.
