Any way to get the stock lock screen?
Preferably not a 3rd party app as I have tried those in the past and they are flaky at best.

try using root explorer and renaming the HtcLockScreen.apk to HtcLockScreen.apk.bak
then reboot, if im correct. the phone will default to the main OS's lockscreen

I confirm this works but then there are issues.
1. Have to unlock phone to see who is calling.
2. Cannot use camera buttons to wake phone. (this is the deal breaker for me)

Its all good. To each their own. Both of those fixed by using go locker, but then issue 3. Locker apps fix but drain more battery. So there it is weigh your options.

Does anyone know if there's a way to disable the screen turning on when receiving an SMS? I would really like to disable this if at all possible.
not sure if it's what you're looking for but if you install sms popup (which is a fantastically simple app) it's one of the many options that you can configure ...
hope this helps ...
This didn't prevent the screen from turning on. The basic SMS app seems to still turn it on.

the way this normally works, is you install handcent which does have this option. then you go in and disable to stock messaging app completely, so that only handcent or your replacement choice controls text behavior.

What you'll notice is that even if you disable the notifications on a the standard messaging app, the app still runs in the background as it's also handling all the incoming DB writes from what I can tell. Samsung re-wrote the messaging app which always runs (and can't be removed) and in this app is the control to turn the screen on. That's why I can't figure out how to disable it without breaking SMS functionality altogether.

Or you could just go tweak the code to stop it waking it up?

Or I could give you an apk to try?
No idea if it will work. Delete the odex and apk for mms.apk, after backing up, and try this one

BACK UP MMS.APK and MMS.ODEX before you do anything =D I can't test due to O2 uk being idiots

Thank you sir, I'll give this a go as soon as I get back to my main computer (adb/drivers/etc).
Might be a late reply, but did it work ? Trying to get an Mms.apk for Galaxy S1, that doesn't turn the screen on.
Are there any ways to install another lockscreen but not by using apps (making them native, I don't like the way it works in widgetlocker app). I have root, CWM and so on
To be honest I want puzzle lockscreen like it was in Vibrant.

But unfortunately this is still an app superimposed to the original home screen or lock screen (which sometimes appears...)
Also the notification bar remains visible!
Original lock screen can't be actually replaced, but only hidden.

That's why I dont like those apps.
And why are there tons of lock screen in Vibrant Roms/i9000/Captivate and difficulties with i9100? What is the principal difference?

Besides home button unlocks the screen. Even with enabled and disabled notification bar.

+1 on that!! I hate the lockscreen so much, I'm using AntiLock to disable it. Apps like WidgetLocker or RippleLock are no proper alternatives because they either unlock with the home key, or have 5 seconds limitation, show the Samsung lockscreen underneath and such.
Just like you, I wonder what's taking devs so long to come up with alternatives. Why is it more challenging on this phone than others?
Guys,
I'm using WidgetLocker and enabled the Root Helper option, and also disabled the default Lock Screen. (In Advanced menu) and also checked Disallow WL suspend.
With these setting the defualt screenlock is only displayed for 1-2 sec when I restart the phone. but that's all.
Previously I also encountered the problem that I had to unlock the WL and then the stock one but now only WL is running.
I don't like lock screen in widgetlocker and in gingerbread itself. I like puzzle one or the one from ripple lock, but it doesnt work properly
Is there a way to put the Camera shortcut somehow on the stock lockscreen? I actually really like the stock lock screen instead of the standard AOSP slide to unlock setup. But what I miss is a camera shortcut...
My ICS ROM on my last phone had this, and it was very handy. I only needed it 1 out of 20-30 times I unlocked, but when I did need it I usually needed it ASAP.
I know app locker allows you to place widgets on your lock screen, never tried it but perhaps this is something you can look into?

Try Widget Locker. Paid app, though.

Sorry, bone head mistake, that's what I meant.
How about MILocker? That appears to be on the rom I have...
Widget locker is the way to go it can be found online of course or bought. This is my screen after fiddling around for a day with it.

You can install JKAYMODS onto your phone (I am not sure which version to install, as it came with SauROM... but if you flash that onto your phone, you can set it up), and you can set a custom lock screen with 8 choices. They can be any program. I have mine set to Spotify, camera, DI Radio, and a couple others. It works perfectly.
+1 to WidgetLocker.
First phone I've actually used it on, but it seems handy.

I'm running 4.4.2. No matter what I do, I can't get my the stock messaging app to stop sending me notifications. I set my default SMS app to Go SMS Pro, but I still get notifications on my lock screen. I tried enabling it and turning off notifications, but I still get a notification on my lock screen.
What am I missing?

A. I would avoid go sms like the plague.
B. I have them disabled in the stock app (needs to be set as default to do it) then set what ever app you want as the default but make sure all messages are read in the default app before switching.

I did exactly that but when I get an SMS the stock messaging icon shows up on the lock screen, and dragging it towards the "lock circle" opens up the stock messaging app.

What device do you have? Custom rom?
I have a Posh E500 (poshmobile.com/catalogue/titan-hd-e500/). It's not the greatest phone in the world (and almost certainly the worst named), but it gets the job done. Anyway it has it's own custom Posh ROM and I recently rooted it using Kingo. Hope that helps.

Then I am betting that it is the OS that is preventing it. What you cold try as you are rooted. You could try freezing the APP with Titainium backup. Not sure about Kingo as I never use that myself. But try freezing the app. You will need to pro version. Or you could just delete the messaging apk, but make a backup of it just in case.
I tried renaming the Messaging apk (MMS.apk). But all that did was disable the app itself, and not the notifications. I would still get a Messaging icon notification on the lock screen, only this time if I dragged it onto the lock icon it would attempt to open the app and then fail.

Thats because it was still there. Try removing it and rebooting. Just make a copy of the apk somewhere so if it breaks something you can put it back.
Cool, let me give that a try.

Didn't work. I still get that darn smiley face notification on the lock screen. When I drag it to unlock the device, the OS doesn't do anything at all.

Then it is built into their os. This is part of the issue with custom OEM roms. You could try using a different lockscreen.
Got it. It might be difficult, but I think I'll try putting a new ROM on it. Thanks for your help.

Maybe it's been deactivated? Check it out!

It's disappeared for me a few times, generally a reboot and then toggling it on and off fixes it. That said, I hate the bar. There is no good placement for it where it's both easy to reach and doesn't get in the way. I setup tasker to manually launch it with Shortcut > Side Sense Window Manager.
Shoot now mine disappeared and won't come back. I had it disabled but now I miss the little guy...
Edit: Trying to see if I can restart the service manually but not sure which one and I can't quite get the format right to launch any of them yet.
