I flashed skydragon rom onto my htc one m8. I love it! Though I have two caveats. The most annoying one is the lock screen on stock android. On the stock rom I could set passcode and have it delay a few minutes so I wouldn't have to enter password everytime. I also had access to lockscreen and widgets. Now, I can temporary disable lockscreen and password but I only want to disable password so I can still access widgets and lockscreen. Anyway to do this?
Also, is there a way I can hold powebutton to turn flashlight on while screen is off? Had xposed module that did it on stock rom, found some other modules but they use volume up button and I can't use that because it interferes with gesture to open camera.

Is there any way (add on app or otherwise) to be able to turn off my phone manually with the power button and have it not lock (so that when I turn it back on the screen is on where I left it without the lock screen). And where I can manually lock if I want.
Ideally too something that won't automatically lock (just turn off) when the screen delay is reached.
This is driving me crazy!
There is an app for that, it's call No Lock. I used to use it on my Desire HD running CM7 rom. I don't know if it will work for sense tho.
No Lock works great... I have it on my 3D.. and used it on my Evo4G, and my wife has it on her Shift 4G. Just be careful with it because the volume up/down buttons will also turn the screen back on, but you'll never need to worry about the lockscreen ever again if you run that app.
Thanks, I just installed No Lock. It is okay, but I would really like something that includes a simple widget to lock the screen -- like I could just press it and the built in lockscreen would lock the phone. I realize I can use the included widget and turn off No Lock and then the phone locks, but it just seems like an extra step.
Maybe use the widget and put a shortcut to screen off next to it?... Or somethin like dat

You could use Tasker and make a widget that you can run that will turn off No Lock, and then lock the phone / turn off the screen
I recently rooted my TB and installed the latest CM7 ROM. The only thing that bugs me about the ROM is that when I unlock it after being idle for a few minutes, it always returns to the last app or email or whatever was open before it locked. I would like it to always return to the Home Screen, or Desktop each time it is unlocked. So far, I have not been able to find any setting to make this happen. I was hoping someone might be able to give me a hand with it.
Thanks,

you could always just download "No Lock" from the market & just use the power on/off button to turn the screen on/off. then you wouldn't have to bother with the lock screen at all. i use that no matter if i'm on sense or aosp. always hated the lockscreen b.s.
Go into cm settings, lockscreen, style options, custom starter app. Set that to be the launcher of your default. Adw is the current defaulted launcher unless you have installed another 3rd party.

You can disable the lockscreen in the cm tablet tweaks settings. No need for 3rd party app.
Thanks for the replies guys. I was hoping to keep the unlock screen appearance the same, without adding more options. I like things to look clean and minimal. However, if it's not possible, then I'll just have to deal with it the way it is.
Thanks,
Mark
Did you ever find a solution?
I too am used to returning to the home screen when I turn my phone on, not the last app I used. Seems like it would be a simple setting...

I came looking for porn, didnt find it, but figured while I was here I could ask a question:
Let me first say I sync my phone to my works Exchange and they force some security settings on my phone, like the pincode to unlock the phone. On my Desire HD and GalaxyII I had WidgetLocker installed so I could control Spotify without unlocking the phone and typing the pin.
On the Razr it kinda looks like the standard lock screen would let me add widgets to it, but I cant figure out how so i started using WidgetLocker on this as well.
However, when I am in the widget locker screen and "slide to unlock" it just takes me to the standard "lock screen" and i must slide again and enter a pin code.
I assume WL have disabled the lock screen on the Desire and Galaxy, but cant on this?
Any ideas?
All i want is to be able to control Spotify without typing the pin and unlocking the phone, so if you have any other suggestion on how to get this done I would love you long time for it
Download the free app "no lock". It should take care of your issue. I use WL on my RAZR and have the No Lock app set to disable the stock lock screen. Works great.
I was running CM on my Nexus, and loved having access to the camera from the PIN lockscreen by swiping over to it without having to unlock.
Running stock rooted on the S4...it's there any way to enable this?
The option to add the camera access to the lock screen is disabled in lick screen settings.
Thanks.

I think there is a xposed module for that... Install the app and look for the index thread
Using BarBum, love it, will upgrade. This is what's up: been using smart lock for a while, love it. Originally, when the conditions were met, when I turned on the screen, I had the lock icon in the center I could tap to enable the unlock screen (pattern in my case), and I would swipe to unlock. If I used the power button to turn it off, instead of tapping off, it would be at the unlock screen on powering back on (yes, the option is enabled).
Now, I see the swipe to unlock screen for a second, then bam, home screen, no chance (unless really quick) to tap the lock icon. Power button isn't locking anymore either (option is still set).
Is this a change on Google's part I can't change back from? I haven't updated my rom (yet) just play store / system updates (not ota).
Any ideas? Thanks!

Forgive me, or was a GravityBox setting I overlooked, all good now!
