Hi guys,
I just bought the Nova Launcher Prime, the main idea if this bought was to use the double tap gesture to turn off the screen.
The bad thing is that all apps (except for one that I dont like it > Screen Off Fx) that I downloded turn off the screen AND lock the phone. The auto lock feature on my phone is setup after 5 minutes, if I use any of this app it will lock inmediatly
Any suggestion??
Thanks guys!!!

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 have the stock 2.3.6 rooted on my gNote. Is there any way to remove or disable the "Swipe screen to unlock" screen? I have Go Locker installed which has a nicer, configurable screen but for some reason the stock "Swipe screen to unlock" appears so I have to swipe it, and then swipe again on the Go Locker screen. I tried AntiLock but that didn't seem to resolve it!
The only way I found to stop the default swipe screen was to install No Lock. However, that might disable Go Locker from running as well. Try it though. Hopefully it works out well for you.
I use Widgetlocker. It's pretty cool. You can use multiple unlocks to go directly to an app and more customization.
Works for me.

I had a custom rom'd Skyrocket and Infuse for some time so I don't remember the stock behavior. The 'extra' lock screen after Widgetlocker's lock screen was bugging me as well. There is a lockscreen timeout setting in display/settings that I don't remember seeing in my other phones. If you exceed the threshold timeout period, then you will get the lock screen to enter your pin/pattern. But if you are within the timeout, then you will get the regular 'swipe' screen instead. I've tried a couple of WL settings including the one that says 'auto swipe' but that screen remains.

If, by any chance, you have the JKay Deluxe Setting option on your custom ROM, then, you also need to select no lock option on that (Golden Android app).

Yeah, WidgetLocker can't swipe that screen for you yet, but I found if you set it to IMMEDIATELY lock so the lock (pattern, pin, whatever) is always shown, you only get WidgetLocker followed by the lock. If you don't want the lock every time you turn on the phone (like myself), Delayed Lock will fix that, I have it set to "5 minutes after power off".
However, I've noticed a few times I've unlocked and the lock did NOT show, so I'm paying closer attention to it. I've twiddled a few settings in Delay Lock, maybe that'll help. This setup worked perfect on my Nexus One.
There seems to be plenty of adequate little homescreen button apps to lock the screen. but they turn it off at the same time. I want the option for both. I already have one that turns the screen off, now I want a different one that just brings up the ICS default lock screen (the one that shows up just after turning the screen back on or at OS startup - if you set it to have lock security).
I'll put em in the icon group on the home screen.
It's cos sometimes I just need to lock the screen while carrying the phone for a short while [and don't want to touch something while grabbing it by the screen], then easily [without having to press the power button] unlock phone again to resume using it once I'm done carrying.
IS there one that does this? Without having to be its own lock screen app - I really just want to keep things simple.....
Thanks for your help.
I found a solution even better than I had imagined myself! Hidden Lock Pro! even easier and better for my needs than I myself thought of: I press its widget icon to lock screen, it's a simple blank ICS background which is locked to prevent accidental pressing on something, then even better than the default lock security needs (cos it's only while I'm carrying it, in secure environments, that i ever need to use this temp lock function), and I have it set to 'shake to unlock' mode to simply go back to my work when ready! PERFECT for my needs above .
Just got the phone and love it.
I installed ADW Launcher EX v1.3.3.8 and now it does not recognize the "double tap" to turn the screen off. Double tap to turn screen on works fine.
I tried a few other launcers like Nova and Apex...same result.
Is it possible to create a shortcut that turns the screen off?
thanks

You can just double tap on the status bar or there is an app, not sure of the name, I think it's called turn off. Grant it device administrator permissions then select it for double tap option in nova settings.
Edit:
Here's the link to the app:

Much appreciated !
Tapping the status bar works
Hi all,
Any ideas where I can find a floating dock for Nokia 8? My primary purpose is to be able to avoid using the button on the side to turn the screen off/lock the device. There are several available on the Play Store however they do not offer the ability to turn the screen off individually. I have to enter the pin when I wake up the device?
Alternatively, any gesture app would work too...I coud doube tap anywhere on the homescreen to turn the screen off!
Thanks!

You can use Microsoft Launcher and set home button as turn off screen.
If you don't mind widgets, Screen Lock by Prahallad works. No problem with fingerprint/PIN (have to enable support in settings). Doesn't fully lock immediately; screen blanks then in few seconds device enters actual locked state.

yeah well, then again, its a whole launcher....I like my pixel launcher as is....just need a small app for the dock...not looking to install an entire launcher for that purpose. But thanks man!
P.s. I did install it and check it out....however, it locks the device rather than turns the screen off....so back to square one
