I'm a new user and searched similar threads...
So, I installed Candy5 last weekend and I liked that room, faster and pretty nice, but now is starting some problems. When I restart the device, I lose all my configs, icons on homescreen disappear and my keyboard config also lost. Other point is, double tap to sleep doesn't work.
Some one had those problems too? Or knows how cand I fix that?
sorry if something iswrong.
My mistake, double tap is only on lockscreen, I would like on homecreen, double tap to enter in sleep mode, but it's ok, and I reinstall that room and after restart, my apps is ok now.

Hey guys,
i've tried some of the new 4.2 JB Custom Roms (JellyBam 5.2, RootBox 3.6, ReVolt 3.2).
I like them all in general (except for that camrea issue, but i could fix that with AOSP Camera mod).
Now here is the problem and i guess its me:
When i change the security lockscreen to pattern or pin, the lockring with the shortcuts doesnt appear anymore!
This really bugs me. Where is the sense to select lockring apps (shortcuts), when everytime i turn the phone back on (wake it up), the phone directly goes to the pin/pattern. So it's like "unlock without swipe"!
I tried wiping, reseting and all of that in CWM, but the problem still appears.
What confuses me as well is the possibility to change the security options in the "rom controls" or the phone settings. When i change something it gets changed at both places.
Hope somebody can help me with this...
Greetz,
goop.Q
Erm.....maybe because via the shortcuts, when you exit the app you are back on the home screen, so no security! No point in having a secure lock screen, then having 5 shortcuts to by pass it!
Surely. But this way, anybody can access the phone.
If i have to swipe to get to pin/pattern, its secure.
And i can access some apps (via shortcuts on lockring) directly!
See my problem?
Hey guys, would really appreciate some help with my S2 that has messed up for some reason since yesterday! I am on Neat Rom 4.4.2 build v4.9, and since yesterday the phone rebooted and somehow went to factory settings. I am not receiving any notifications for anything (calls, msgs, app notifications etc). The notification bar does not display anything either, and the "tiles" dont work when I click on them either. I have not made any changes and it all happened suddenly please help! Many many thanks.
Sorry also forgot to mention my home key is not working either, pressing it only turns on the screen, but it does not function as a home key, and double tapping it does not bring up recents. The same problem with menu and back keys to which I assigned functions such as kill app and search on long press are not working either. Also, my screen is not locking at all by pressing the power button/screen timeout/go to sleep tile.
Format system,data, cache,preload then reflash ROM and gapps. Reboot.
Thanks, I did a factory reset and that has solved the problems thankfully.
Hi there! Just curious if anyone else is having issues with the double tap feature. I installed CM13 a few days ago and could not get the double tap to work, same thing with CM12.1. There is a off/on switch in Display&lights and it works to double tap anywhere to bring the screen on, but can only double tap the status bar to put it to sleep? Doesn't make sense to only have it there...is there a way to return it to the same functionality of the stockROM? I like customROM's, but the double tap feature is way nice in a phone and I'd like it back! Help! Thanks!!
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!!
Hello,
I have been using the LG V30 for 2 weeks and I am pretty happy with it. The only thing that bothers me are the Icons of already installed apps (like WhatsApp) and GApps. Even if i choose the original shape, these ones stay the same rounded square Icons. I guess that is nothing new and expected behaviour.
This is why I have googled around for the last two hours in order to find answers on how to change these icons.
The only answers I have found were
a) custom icon pack with other launcher
b) use ThemeX and edit specific icons
c) root
d) use a theme
Unfortunately c) is not an option because i do not want to root. b) is off the table as well because that does not work with V30. And since i really love the double tap feature and i cannot stand the solution of nova launcher and other launchers, a) does not fit my needs either.
So I guess the only option for me would be d), wouldn't it? However, all the themes I tried either do not change icons or they change them too much (like all the 'top' themes in LG Smartworld).
This leads to this post and my question: Is there something I did not try yet? If not, is there a theme in Google Play that only changes specific icons (LG Apps, GApps) and no too much else?
Sorry if this is kind of a 'repost' or if this specific question has already been answered. I know this topic was discussed wildely in the Internet and here but i could not find a thread that was as specific as mine.
Thank you very much and best regards,
Brothize

Please clarify why you don't want Nova launcher, as it seems to meet exactly what you want? Nova launcher retains double tap unless you are talking about something else. Mentioned in almost every Nova article: https://beebom.com/cool-nova-launcher-tricks/
I do not use the double tap feature, but when I've tried it with Nova, it's there. For me, the back fingerprint sensor button is much easier to tap for on/off than trying to hold the phone and do a double tap on some open space on the screen (I have lot of icons).
Yes, I have rooted stock firmware and am running Nova launcher with custom pack icons. But my wife and mother and several friends just have Nova launcher with custom pack icons and are NOT rooted.

Thank you for your answer.
I use the the double tap mainly for locking (feels nicer than pressing the button on the back) and sometimes for unlocking in order to check notifications (when phone is on a table, especially at work).
Concerning Nova launcher: I use the floating bar and the screen does not really turn off as in yes, it turns dark, but the floating bar is still visible. Not even after waiting 30-180 seconds. I even tried to play with the settings. Unfortunately the floating bar was still showing. Sorry, I should have clarified why it was not working for me properly!
Are you using the floating bar and it works? Which would mean something is off with my settings I guess.

I believe Novas workaround for non rooted devices is to turn the screen black until your display times out. You may have your timeout set high. The other workaround is to use device administrator but that makes you have to enter your pin/password when you turn your phone on again. I also don't like either method so before I was rooted, I just relied on the double tap on status bar to turn the screen off
Nova launcher prime have gestures and you can made double tap to lock the screen.

I forgot and that method. Yeah, that locks instantly even with Nova.
