2...... how can you install fonts from the font pack that comes with the rom i go to install one, it says its been installed and asks for a reboot i say yes and the phone freezes on the loading animation so i have to remove my battery and restart the phone, what am i doing wrong?
3..... i normally use folders for all my different apps but i am not given the option to create new folders is this possible if so how?
apart from that i really cat complain aout the rom.
Many thanks in advance for any help given.....
Ths padlock is a "quick lock" button, instead of pressing the power button to lock the phone.
Don't know anything about the fonts.
Have you tried setting an icon on top of another to make a folder? Sometimes works for roms that I have tried.

I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to get a lockscreen that is part of the system, not an app. I have tried 4 3 different apps and non of them work right. They all freeze the system when i use the power button to put it to sleep, i get a white screen and nothing else. Please don't suggest any apps that is not what i asked this question for. I want a lockscreen that is part of the franework.
There is a screen lock in settings. You have the options of pattern, PIN or password. You will find it in Location and security settings.
No I know about that one. I mean a slide style lockscreen. Like on most android devices

no hope for original one, you may install WidgetLocker to re-enable it.
i tried widgetlocker and everytime i use the power button to put to sleep and then try to wake up all i get is a blank white screen. i dont get it.
don't flame me....maybe a stupid Q.....but still a very annoying use problem, that I can't figure out:
meny times In a middle of texting/browsing or using an app....I'm disturb by something else......and the phone goes to standby>>>>....OK?
The problem is : that when I wake it up....I have to do all the way to the specific last app/sms
is there a way to customise that wake up ? so it will take you directly to your last action?
We need more information, are u using a third part lock screen, I use widget locker and if the device sleeps with an app open, when I unlock, the app is still running.

yes I use widget locker & and yes the app is still running >>> that is not the point :
My problem is that I have to brows few screens to get there
for example if I read an article?....and the screen turns off?
I have to open my browser again and find the icon first >>>>> instead of getting right back to the original article >>> when I turn the screen on
think that you are on windows and the screen goes to sleep ?
you are moving the mouth......and ? landing to the same place
simple no ?
I can't figure it out how to apply that on my phone
Take widget locker off, personally I don't see the benefit of such things.
You touch the home button and have the options on the lock screen to call etc. But with the likes of no lock, when you touch the home button, it will open at your last app, or your home screen where you can text call from, same thing! Yes?
Anyway I posted this today, quicker and will have the result you want...

U may have changed a setting somewhere, because whatever screen was active on my phone when the screen turned off would also be active when i unlock the device. And when I say active, I mean if I was on a webpage and the screen turns off, when I unlock, the webpage is the first thing I see

The benefit of widget locker is that it provides me with the type of lockscreen that I want on my device, and the benefit of Android is that I actually have that choice, just as you have the choice to not use it as you don't see the benefit...

You tell me that at your phone >>>> when you are on a web page and the screen turns off >>> sliding the unlock button on the "W.L." will bring you back to the same page ?......????? and you don't have to press the browser icon first ?

I have uninstalled some sys apps on a Xperia Neo L which has android 4.0.1. Fortunately I have backedup the uninstalled apps. Problem is I can not move the icons anymore! Which application controls that? Need your help....
PS: When I press the menu button, I can see a 5 pages of apps. In the bottom right there is an icon consisting of four squares, one of them is skewd. Now I press that, and see the screen color changes. Then I press an hold an icon. What I expect is a little virbation and then I can move the icon. In reality I dont' hear any vibration hence icon doesn't move.
try metamorph

Before rooting, I remember there were no problem with that. However I don't know is this miss behavior (the feature that doesn't work) is the result of rooting or removing a sys app.
Do you know?
Hi.
First of all, thanks to abhi922 for this great ROM. It is really light and cute.
I've read the thread in Development section, and I know how difficult it was to implement the lockscreens in this ROM, so it can be a little ironic that I want to disable them entirely, and even remove them to get a little more space. I can not find a way to disable them from the Simplicity options, it just let me choose between locks. It is possible to get rid of the them?
The other question is whether there is any way that the volume buttons do not wake up the screen. I use a lot the music player (PowerAmp), and I don't like having to turn off the screen every time I go up or low volume. I`ve read that PowerAmp don't do this, but in my case, it does.
Thanks in advance.

For first,
First go to simplicity settings enable all 15 toggels
In that you will see Lock toggel just off it your lockscreen will get disabled .

Yes, I have activated the toggle in the status bar. But is there anything more ... permanent? Do not know if it's normal, but I have to use the lockscreen toggle every time my phone restarts. It seems to work much like the "no lock" app: does not disable the lockscreen, only prevents it activates.
So I wanted to know if it is possible to get rid of the lockscreen, or is that Android simply does not allow it, and now I have to spend the rest of my life (or more like... phone life) inactivated it every time I turn on the phone. I know it is not that bad, but well... yep.
Ok, I think I've made it (at least disable screen wake from volume keys, for lockscreen I'm still using "no lock" until I find another way to get rid of it)..
I found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086526) and downloaded the file in the first post, but doesn't work for me. It seems that disabled lockscreen and avoid volume keys to wake up screen are not compatible. You have to choose one -_-
But reading the rest of the thread get me this idea and it works:
I've open /system/usr/keylayout with my root explorer and edited all the files that have VOLUME_UP and VOLUME_DOWN on them (in my case, bcm_headset.kl, qwerty.kl, sec_key.kl and sec_keypad.kl).
The thing is that you have to delete the word WAKE from each VOLUME_UP and VOLUME_DOWN that you find.
Mi lockscreen is desactivated (with "no lock" app) and my screen doesn't wake up anymore with the volume keys AT ALL
Thanks to DocRambone and aydc for the ideas. And to Hitesh2626 for your attention.
Hi guys, I just got a le max pro (x910) but there is no forum for it. Still, I believe it is running the same OS and EUI as Le max 2 (6.0.1 and EUI 5.6.x)
To my question: I hate lock screens so I disable them. If the fingerprint reader were better I'd seriously consider using it to unlock the phone, but it isn't.
My problem now is the "second" lock screen on this phone. Not sure if this is an andorid thing or an EUI thing, since I haven't used android 6.0+ before.
Essentially, I need my home screen to appears when I click the power button. Is that possible? Currently, the "lock screen" that appears after hitting power is a screen with time and camera icon. I don't need this. Can it be disabled SOMEHOW?
Thanks
Hello!
You can do exactly what you want with Lockscreen Disabler in Xposed. It will disable the lockscreen and when you press the power button, the home screen is shown.
As you may know already, you must have a custom recovery, be rooted and have Xposed installed. Then download the module and enjoy

Is this new in Android 6 or an issue with EUI? On my Sony Z ultra with android 5.1.1 disabling the lock screen is right there in the options.
I'm not sure whatever the problem might be. If you said that you need somehow to disable the lockscreen because you can't, I took it for good and I found a solution for you
I've tried to remove it without Xposed and looks like in Settings you don't have this option. Keep in mind that different OEM's do have various options of customization that might not be common.
Hello everyone, I´m new to this, but I just got an LE S3 last week at a really good price! (take into consideration that I live in Mexico) and found the same problem mentioned here, after lots of researching the web and tinkering with setting, antivirus and lock screen apps on play store and factory resetting phone, I got rid of the ``second lock screen´´ wich is very annoying to me, and not to mention all the ads that popped up every time I unlocked the phone, only for it to come back as soon as I connected my phone to charge it! Very Frustating!
And then I noticed, since I had changed the home and lock screen wallpapers to pictures of my family, I noticed three little white dots on the upper left corner of the screen, almost imperceptible, just like the ones on the web browser to deploy a menu!! I hitted it and a warning came up `` do you want to disable Locker?´´ I hitted Disable and that did it! Now I´m able to just go to my home screen with the Finger Print unlock or Pattern unlock.
It was hard to notice the three little dots since I had not changed my wallpapers, I was using the factory galaxy/nebula look alike wallpapers, which are very cool but have scattered white dots all over and tricked my perception of the Locker Icon.
Hopefully this can help some of you to turn off that annoying extra screen.
Cheers!!
