Why all the burden? I simply installed "Tasker" and defined a term to set the keyguard off. And it works like a charm. Now I can use custom lockers such as Go locker.
I used No Lock from the Market and it worked fine. Now I use the widget of Elixir 2 and that works fine too.

jumm no burden. i takes like 5 second to do in sq lite and stays, u can uninstal sqlite after and it will stay. some people prefer no lockscreen at all.

Ok. Here is the problem: I have no "line 67"in that destination! (I have two "settings storage"s, but only one of them includes settings.db and there is no -id 67 in it). Is it possible? Am I doing anything wrong?
Tasker has failed setting the keyguard off for some unknown reason. I used "no lock", but no success either.
Edit: Nevermind, found it. but under the line id_2744

Ever since I got my Atrix I've been searching for a way disable this annoying lock-screen, but couldn't find any good way. There is an app "no lock" witch worked somewhat ok, but had some quirks here and there.
Today I accidentally stumbled upon a key in a database that allow disable it once and for all.
You'll need SQLite Editor (or if you know how to manually write database queries...)
open com.motorola.android.providers.settings -> settings.db -> settings
Search for screen_lock and change value from 1 to 0
Reboot and enjoy Atrix with no lock screen whatsoever.
where exactly is that file located? my SQLlite editor doesnt see it....
Good find... actually works. My widgets didn't quite no what to think, since a good part of them usually load behind the scenes... bogged down the launcher initially, but caught back up without any problems. Widget locker still works too.
You should post this in the general section.

Is that in GB 2.3.4? In stock 2.2.1 sqlite editor shows it as com.motorola.android.providers.settings
theres an app call "battery indicator pro" which can disable lock screen very well. i have it disable my Atrix's lock screen by accident and it worked great.

This worked perfect... Thank you
hey guys.
this is one of my favorite apps. I've been running it since I had my Evo 3D nearly two years ago...and i'm still running it on the Note II. I thought some of you may be interested.
this is a themed, modded version of Video Caller Id (Free)
What I did was theme most of the image files to match the JellyBomb black/ICS blue look. Even now that I don't have JellyBomb I still love the look. I also made a few .xml changes so the layout of the information on the screen is a little better than the original.
YOUTUBE VIDEO
here is a YouTube video showing the app, the settings and some of the video ringtones i'm also including in this thread.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCtXHmIasyQ
INSTRUCTIONS
Code:
To Install:
Copy VideoCallerID.apk to /system/app/
Set permissions to RW-R--R--
Reboot. Enjoy.
---
Recommended Settings:
Activate the service = checked
Float video-view = unchecked
Use monitoring = checked
Opening delay option = 100ms (for Note II), 400ms (for S3), increase if the app doesn't start up when you get a call.
Ringer view = customize to your liking, I have all checked
Sound
- Video without sound = to your liking, I have it unchecked
- Maximum volume = to your liking, I have it checked
- Mute ringtone = unchecked (and set your ringtone on the phone's settings to silent, this works much better than having the app mute the ringtone for you)
- Say contact name = to your liking, I have it unchecked
---
How to use:
When you open the app, you see your contacts. You can set individual video ringtones per contact:
- Next to the contact's name, click on the Andy icon with the + sign, and then choose select video file.
- Browse to your video and select it.
- Now you can click on the contact's name and preview and change options for that specific contact
To set system-wide video ringtone:
- Click on the wrench icon on the top right
- Click on Default video
- Choose a default video for all contacts (with the exception of those with custom video ringtones)
- Choose a default video for unknown/blocked callers
- You can also preview whatever video is already set by pressing on the icon for that video.

No? I never had that issue...I think it may be a side effect from the opening delay setting under the options. I have mine set to 0 and I can answer and decline calls just by using the app.

Can anyone else confirm that u don't have to answer twice. I've had the pay for version of this app, damn near since it came out, and I've always had to answer twice. I wonder is the widget locker app that ur using changing this. I've tried changing the delay to 0ms, and I still have to answer twice. I haven't tried out this "revised version" because u said u just changed the aesthetics. But if i get more confirmation, that this is working, I'll definitely give it a try.

Exactly. I asked as well and the op said that u don't have to answer twice to accept calls. I too have the paid version. I'm about to try this and see what happens. I also have widget locker so I'll see what happens and post my results.
Edit: okay so after doing some testing with the app. I can confirm that u still have to answer the call twice. Even with widget locker it doesn't seem to override the default ringer. And I couldn't get the android man to play either. I had to pick my own videos that I made myself. Great app but having to slide to answer once and press the accept button again is a little annoying at times.
Sent from my Beastly EVO.. And did I mention it has 3D?
guys I saw the comments here and this issue is also on the market comments.
I have never tried the paid version. using this version, I have no problems.
however, I don't have the rosie sense installed. I use Widgetlocker and Launcherpro. I use easywake on widgetlocker so the htc lockscreen is disabled.
my settings in the video caller app are as follows:
Activate service = checked
Use monitoring = checked
Opening delay option = 0 ms
video without sound = unchecked
maximum volume = checked
mute ringtone = checked
Under ringer view I have:
all options checked except "swipe to answer" and "use hardware buttons"

I don't know if this will make any difference for you. as I said, the app works flawlessly for me. hope it works well for you too.
please let me know if it works.

I know how to change which apps are shown on the lock screen, but is there a way to change the icons for those apps?
I'm using Apex Launcher and I've changed some of the icons for apps on my home screens, but it still shows the original icons on the lock screen. It would be nice if I could change them so that they match.
Is there an app that I can use to do this?
Many thanks for any help you can give.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it says that he knows how to change what programs go there, but he wants to change Icons for certain things. E.g. he wants a different icon for the Dialer instead of the stock one, he doesn't want to change it so Dialer isn't there.
You'll have to use themes to change icons though afaik, so you're probably better off looking for that OP.

Read the very first thing I said: -
"I know how to change which apps are shown on the lock screen, but is there a way to change the icons for those apps?"
It's not possible unless someone mods the touchscreen (probably quite difficult).
Your best solution would be to change the actual app icon - there should be a png in drawable-res/??? (??? = resolution of sgs3) that is the icon. you can overwrite it with winzip or whatever (make sure the size is the same though).
Axtually, just use a different lock screen app.

This is my first post here.
I recently switched from iPhone to Note 2. I was very drawn towards a large screen with lots of real estate. The note 2 out of the box didn't do it for me. However, I read the discussions about the international version and people changing the DPI with ROMs and other methods and figured if they could do it, so could I.
After waiting 5 weeks for my pre-order to arrive, then a week for the developers to provide a root option, I finally have my wish. Here is how I did it.
1. Root
2. Install a custom launcher (I installed nova, which works for me.) Set it as default
3. Install a new keyboard and set it as default
4. Install LCD Resolution from play store. I found nowhere that discussed this option, but I tested on a GS3, GS1, and Droid Charge and it worked better than the other DPI changers.
5. Set PPI to 240 in LCD Resolution. Uncheck Always Set on Boot until you know it will be stable. This caught me in a boot loop on the GS3. The only other res I tried was 160 and it failed.
6. Reboot.
It should work great. There are a few things to note:
1. The camera looks bad. I have not replaced it with a new one yet. - Please post any suggestions.
2. The calculator and dialer dont look amazing but are usable.
3. Email in portrait doesn't use the whole screen. I use it in landscape and it great.
4. Clock does not work, but can be replaced easily. I have not found a new alarm to use yet. - Please post any suggestions.
If you get another DPI to work well, let us know.
Otherwise, this is a great mod if you need more real estate on your new screen without loosing any of the s-pen or other stock functionality.
Thanks to those of you who helped root...
hmm, doesn't seem to work for me. The prompt in the app to reboot doesn't do anything.
Can we see some screen caps?
just do it manually it doesnt cause boot loops. You can change it to any DPI you want.
Use root explorer
navigate to "System/Build props"
Hold down "build props"
choose "open with"
then choose "text editor"
scroll down a few lines look for "ro.sf.lcd_density=320"
Change the 320 to whatever you want, I use 240.
click "save and exit",
reboot your device,
profit.
Why would you want to change it if it makes stuff look bad?
you can also edit the build.prop via rom toolbox really easily and the results are attached. 240dpi is first 320dpi is second.
Your Samsung keyboard will also crash at 240dpi but you can replace it with this one made by bala_gamer http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1501015&d=1353535434

I haven't done it yet but a lower dpi would be great on this phone. It would let you take more advantage of such a large screen real estate.

It doesn't really break anything from what I've noticed, just makes a few things appear a bit differently, but still fully functional. It's worth a shot if you're interested in doing it, and you can always change back if you find it unmanagable. Personally, a per app dpi would be ideal, because you don't always prefer every app to be at 240 dpi. But I really like it, especially with the on screen nav buttons, which even those make some apps SLIGHTLY off, but still plenty usable, and worth the small inconvenience. To each their own though.

Is there anyway I can get the steps to you method I tried using the apps but it didn't work and now I got a white line at the top of the screen. Am flashing back to stock root to see if it will remove it. I also tried root explore but would lose the multi window edit option. Now am going for ROM tool box. Any pointers would be great.

The white line is probably the miui battery bar, see if its on in settings> custom settings> battery bar settings. As far as the dpi, just use a root explorer to go into system>Apps>build.prop, then long press build.prop and open in text editor and change the line with "screen/lcd density" and change the value to 240(or whatever you want). Hit menu and save/exit then reboot. You are correct that you lose the edit function in multi windows, but you can always change back to edit your apps, then switch back. The change only takes 10 seconds.

Why you would want to is easy. Ever used a tablet and seen tablet mode on apps? Stock DPI prevents apps from entering tablet mode and that was one feature I was looking very forward to with such a big screen.

I couldn't get that to work either. I think it ma be a touchwiz conflict.
Just experienced my 2nd screen/sleep of death today, and unfortunately I'm thinking it's from the dpi. Going to change and will report back if I discover otherwise. I'll also leave my nav bar on, just to eliminate that variable. Bummer...I really hope we can incorporate a per app dpi on this phone at some point, maybe paranoid android(as long as it's reasonably compatible with the s-pen).
I also noticed my "android system" under battery was going through the roof. It was going over the screen %, but now that I changed the dpi back, it's already back under.

Make sure to use text editor or something similar. I had to long press it and "open with" for it to let me edit anything.
