Hi there, on my old Nokia N8 I had to homescreen shortcuts:
- Quicklock: to lock the screen with one tap
- Power: to open the menu to turn off/reeboot/etc.. the phone
Is there something similar on android too?
I've looked thru the playstore, but I could not find what I was looking for
Screen Off and Lock is what are you looking for

Hey,
i have a evo 3d and even before i rooted it and put a custom rom on it, i wanted to remove that weather lock screen that always comes up when you power your phone on. The one that has phone mail camera messages icons and the Current weather, and you then have to drag a circle to the middle. That is the screen i want to remove or disable.
How can i do this with a rooted or stock phone?
I have seen the no lock app and the ScreenMode App which DO remove the Lock screen im talking about, but they ALSO REMOVE the security Pin / Pattern Lock screen also (which i want to retain.)
As it is now, i have to go through 2 lock screen when i power up my phone- The Weather Lock screen i speak of above and want to remove/disable - and the 2nd lock screen is my Pin/Pattern Lock screen which i can enable or disable via Settings->Security->Device Lock.
Please help me remove the weather lock screen,
tks
Widgetlocker is your answer
there's a couple ROMs in the dev section that have removed it, and are using the aosp lockscreen, go check them out.
Just go to setting personalize lock screen and change it to whatever you want no root needed

You have 2 options. You can go into system/data and rename HTCLockscreen.apk to HTCLocksreen.bak (rather than deleting it, in case you ever want it back). Or you could use Titanium Backup to uninstall HTCLockscreen
Widget Locker now gives me its locker screen, which is then followed by my Pattern lock screen (which i need, i only want the pattern lock screen).
If i go to Settings->Personalize (nothing happens, as in i get no options to choose), it just brings me back to the home screen.
I have Titanium Backup Pro and removed HtcLockScreen.apk and it removed it sucesfuly, but now the default Google Lock screen (with the lock on one side, speaker on the other) and you slide the lock to the right to unlock it.
Is there a way to keep WidgetLocker running, but set it to NO lock screen. Normally you would just un-check "Enable Widget Locker" in WidgetLocker's settings but doing this makes the home weather lock screen reappear.
or is there a way to disable the Google lock screen and keep the Pattern Security lock screen (this is how i had it on my EVO 4g)
Thanks for the help guys!

Hold your finger on the weather widget for about 10 seconds (untill the *trash* pops up at the bottom) and drag the sucker into the trash.
Took me all of the first day I owned this phone to kill that POS.

Hi All,
I am looking for a nice screen lock with security (will look nice and will have some password or pattern).
Any idea?

I am sure that there are several screen locker apps in the Market.
And there are some nice mods in Development forums for imitating HTC Sense, Apple iPhone, Google IceCreamSandwich screen locker, etc..
So, you have to take the time to search yourself.
But have you already tried to use a pattern with standard screen locker?
Menu => Settings => Location and Security => Use pattern
And set a nice Photo as background?
Menu => Settings => Display => Screen => Screen lock - Background picture
I did.
The main problem with the android screen lock is that it miss the delay setting (wait xx minutes before activate the screen lock).
I love the "swipe up an icon to launch that application" feature of the lock screen on the One. But I've noticed that (seemingly randomly) it just stops working. For instance, I'll grab the chrome icon and swipe up, and the phone won't register that I've grabbed anything, and the screen just unlocks. Rather than an icon floating with my swipe gesture -- the lockscreen just fades out and then the phone displays whatever activity was open when the screen was turned off (almost like I've grabbed the lock icon, though I haven't). Has anyone else experienced this? And how can i get it to go back to the default behavior?
Did you install any kind of notifier that would display on top of the lock screen? I found out that after installing Notifierpro with accessibility services turned on it messed up the Sense lock screen.
I have posted my experience on a different thread and did not see your post. I just thought maybe you are experiencing the same problem.

Mine sorta does the same thing. Sometimes I will grab an icon (any icon for that matter) and it won register the swipe at all, It won't even bother unlocking and it wont register any swiping at all until I do one of two things
- I will have to hit the power button twice to sleep and wake the device then swipe to unlock
or
- Hit the Home or Back button then swipe to unlock
anyone experience this? hope this helps
the settings > accesibility > dexterity > wake on gesture feature works great on my phone, however i want to also be able to turn the screen off with the same gesture, why would they not build that function into it stock? stupid
anyway what other options do i have to make this work, the ones ive found on the play store lack decent reviews, eating battery, turning on in pocket etc.
Get nova... Get lock screen app... Have double tap feature mapped to lock screen ... Double tap on home screen .... Profit
Have you noticed any battery drain with the gesture motion enabled?
I have the exact question. Any way to lock the screen without physically pressing any button? I dont mind any gesture or an icon on the homescreen. If you click that icon, the screen turns off.
No drain .... M running the same on my nexus 5 and note 4....
I'm searching for a method to customize the "Quick Settings" available on our Z3V Lock Screen. I've spent a couple of days trying various methods - but the Xperia skin seems to have the lock screen, and the quick settings, locked down. Even GravityBox (Xposed) was useless.
My main goal here is to add the "Screen Mirroring" Quick Setting to the Lock Screen. The uniqueness of the Xperia skin and the fact that that particular Quick Setting is not available on the Lock-Screen version of the Quick Setting is making that part difficult.
This is a rooted Verizon Xperia Z3V (D6708) running Android 5.1.1
If anyone has any tips, mods, or experience working with the lock screen (or getting Screen Mirroring into the Lock Screen) - I'm looking for your help. Thank you :good:
Attaching an image to show the quick settings page for clarification. Screen Mirroring, visible there, is NOT visible on the lock screen. But I want it to be.
