Has anyone gotten the lock screen to turn off?
I found a thread here where someone made a file to do it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642574) but it wasn't for the Droid DNA.
My goal: I want to just turn on my screen and have the homescreen right there ready to go....No Lock (just like I could do with older versions of Android.).
Thanks,
Joe

Nope...for some reason that doesn't work. Before the update to KK, it was an option on Sense 5, but now on Sense 5.5 it gives the option for None under Screen Lock, but it still requires to swipe up to Unlock!

App in the play store called no lock will do the trick. HTC removed that feature for some reason. They probably want you to have some type of security on your phone.
Please press the thanks button if I have helped you in anyway.

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
I like the shortcuts on the lock screen and off you get a message or missed call shows.
However if I put a security lock, pattern lock etc you lose this functionality.
On my previous HTC sensation XE you got a message it showed on the lock screen, you dragged it to open it and then had to do the pattern lock.
Is this not possible on the S3, do you have to have either the security but no lock screen notifications?
Cheers
This is absolutely possible on the SIII (something I've been waiting for since I got my SII)...
Go to Settings > Security then use whatever Screen Lock you want (not sure if it works with all of them, but I'm currently using Pattern lock).
Once you have set up your Screen Lock, tick the 'With swipe lock' option and this should give you the desired results
Another great thing I've been waiting for was the ability to disable 'lock instantly' when turning off the screen. A lot of very welcome 'minor' tweaks from Sammy that have made this phone an excellent upgrade!

Where is this option hidden? I can't find it anywhere.
Cant see that option either???

It's there I've just found it thanks a lot. It appears AFTER you've set up the pattern lock.
When I wake up my phone by pressing the power button there's the swipe unlock. I want to turn it off and I don't see the option for it. Under Security->Screen Lock it says none. Any ideas?

There are a bunch of apps in the Play Store for that.
Security -> Screen lock is used if you want to add a pin number, pattern lock, or face unlock to unlock your phone.
There is no option in Sense to remove the unlock swipe.
As blazingwolf stated, you will have to find a third party app from the Play Store to disable the lockscreen.
I believe there is one called No Lock.

i think the OP mean swipe as in the swipe the lock ring?
anyway, yes you can find an .apk on the market that will bypass the lockscreen, so it just turns on...

There is an App I used on my Inc and TB ... Its called Auto Unlock by Iwashi Soft...it worked fine...no problems and it used pretty minimal battery. However I do like the Ring Lock on the Dinc4G and think its kinda useful, so I haven't installed it yet.
I use an app called "No Lock", works great!

I restored back to stock 4.3 and then applied the 4.4.2 update via OTA. I now find that I can't get rid of the lock screen. I set lock screen security to none, but I still have to slide to unlock after waking up. I didn't have to do this before. Is this something new in 4.4.2 or have I forgotten how to wake to the home screen directly?

My KitKat Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 can skip the lockscreen when waking, so I don't think it's specific to KitKat.
Were you running the stock 4.3 w/ Sense before with no lock screen? That's what I'm running and don't see any option to disable the lock screen completely. I think this lock screen is integrated into Sense and independent of JB or KK. Perhaps the ability to disable the lock screen is only available on pure Android, non-Sense ROMs or a custom Sense-based one.
Yeah, stock rooted 4.3. If you select None for security, and then click power off and back on, you still get a lock screen that requires slide up to get to the home screen?

I figured it out. Go into Settings>Personalize. Under "Lock screen style", scroll through the options to "No lock screen". Not sure if it's any different on 4.4.2.

There is no such setting on 4.4.2...
Yep, so HTC must have removed this option in 4.2.2. Darn, I preferred going strilaightvto the home screen.

Download the "No Lock" app from the play store. It's an easy fix.

That makes one more app running all the time eating your precious battery... Remember that unlike other phone the ONE's battery cannot be replaced. The more you charge it the sooner it will wear out. Lithium Ion batteries do have a limited number of times they can be recharged and when this one dies the phone dies with it.
So my S9+ took a tumble and was unresponsive. Luckily, I had insurance. So when I received the new device, I set it up, let everything restore that was available for restoration, and took the latest update (screenshot attached). Now my absolute favorite way to unlock a phone out of all the phones I've owned, was the gesture unlock. Not pattern, gesture. What am I missing here? I can't believe they would remove this amazing feature, so I must be missing something. Thank you!!
Anyone?
Gesture unlock as in the option for "swype" as a lock screen type?
Swype for unlocking the phone is present on my phone (G965U). If your using a 3rd party lock screen try disabling or removing it. If you have some sort of app/configuration that requires secure lock it might have disabled swype to unlock.
Otherwise maybe try factory data resetting the phone or else reflashing the update using odin?
No, not swipe to unlock, that's still available. Does no one remember gesture unlock? Like mine was up down up down up down left. Just swipe those gestures to unlock. How does nobody remember this?? Gf confirms btw, so I know I'm not crazy lmao

Gesture (singluar) unlock as I remember it was simply swiping your finger up the screen to unlock it. What your describing sounds more like a pattern unlock method.. Where multiple swipes in a specific manner will unlock the screen.
Looking on my phone there is a pattern unlock option. Is this option present on your lock screen > screen lock type settings?
** Edit - Never mind, the previous poster found the setting in question.
