Launcher starts before SIM is unlocked - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Please answer me this:
Is it normal for android devices that they display the unlock SIM card NumPad only for a short while, after which the launcher/homescreen starts normally?
I just found this out, and now I'm really unsure if it was like this from the beginning or only after i started modding...
in any case, is it possible to delay the start of the homescreen/launcher until the sim card is unlocked?
the phone is rooted by now, xposed framework installed...
it's a triple sim acer liquid e700.
the behavior seems to be the same with all launchers: the original "Acer Home", Nova Launcher, Apex Launcher...

That is due to the sim set up. Android just recently got support for dual sim. Tri sim is still a messy hack

thanks, but actually it was due to my excessive modding and the alternative lockscreen i installed.
it seems that the android default lockscreen takes care that the UI doesn't overlay the SIM PIN dialog; but the lockscreen i installed instead didn't.
back to the default lockscreen now, all is fine.
PS:
the reason i wanted to change the lock screen is because it displays the date garbled.
so the time is normal, but the date is like this:
SUN, 11 OCSUNBER 2015
for now i just changed it to
10/11/2015
- that works.
any ideas or articles that i missed deep in xda's jungle undergrowth?

Go launcher and Go Locker

I just downloaded these app and love how it makes the phone run and look. I have a rooted droid 2 but am not currently using the root for anything. I Have the GO locker app on here with a new lock screen an it almost works great. But every ones-in-a-while the old lock screen will pop up and then i will have to unlock that then the Go locker lock screen.
Any one els use this or know how to fix it. I'm willing to put a custom ROM on my phone but they all look like allot of work to get the same thing that Go launcher does?
Hey, if still unsolved, you can proceed by selecting "Go locker" as the default launcher !
I have one question about go locker, it looks great and works ok, but I can't find out how to change the default screen when someone is calling me. When the phone is locked and I receive the phonecall, it doesn't even show the screen where you have to slide to answer or decline the call, it just shows the default android screen for phonecalls as it would show if the phone was unlocked.
Notification pin
Hello,
Currently I am using Go launcher with Go locker. I have not found any problems recently and enjoy them very much.
However, I am having one annoying little problem and wonder if anyone could please help with this.
I cannot open anything from my notification bar without entering a pin first. Whether it be messaging, apps, or updates.
I briefly remember choosing this option in a menu, but not sure. I have checked system settings/security, GO locker setting/security, and GO launcher settings. I cannot find anywhere to disable this feature . PLEASE HELP AS THIS IS NOW A VERY ANNOYING PROBLEM. !!
Thank You.

[Q] Security Lock Screen "Password unlock" BUG?

Hello,
This is regarding stock SGS2 i9100 ROMS: both GB & ICS
I'm have being searching for this since ICS went out to our magnificent SGS2 i9100, but haven't had any luck to find something about this problem, which I could call it a ICS bug.
This is what happens, when you set, under settings, the security lock screen to be unlocked with a password, in the previous GB 2.3.?, that we used to have in our beloved phone, it was amazing, you got something like a transparent keyboard which allowed the whole wallpaper to be seen beneath. But, in this ICS when you select the lock screen to be unlocked with a password, under security, when unlocking the phone you get an annoying wallpaper re-sizing and after the PW have been introduced the first screen you get of the home screen is also re-sized. I'll attach some pics to explain better the situation and myself.
Is there any way that we can have the old GB transparent unlock keyboard to insert the password in ICS?
I would really appreciate your advices.
Anyone have an idea about this...? Please
I've no idea how you did that. When I lock my phone I see a different background which is not my home screen background. What settings do I have to change?

[Q] Lockscreen Trouble - Simple Touch Unlocks

Hello,
I'm running the regular stock system (unrooted for the moment) and I'm having a small problem with my lockscreen (which is currently set to 'Productivity', but the issue persists across others. Any touch to the screen will unlock the phone and bring me to my homescreen, anywhere on the screen regardless of whether I hit an app or not. Furthermore, I can't open up the apps in the drawer with a drag as you are supposed to be able to do.
I got the phone a few days ago and everything worked fine until some point yesterday. I'm not sure if an app is interfereing with it and I've done the basic steps of rebooting, changing lock screens, adding a password etc. I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this problem before and if they have a way to fix it?
(Also, I'm running Apex Launcher Pro, but I tried just running Sense again and the problem persists)

Unable to edit in security mode error?!

I decided to give my device a reboot like I tend to do every few days. I noticed a few apps updated right before, including a few xposed modules, but nothing new was installed aside from the updates of apps I already had. When I get to my lock screen I no long have the dash clock, camera, and weather widgets I used to have, and have the default clock. When I go to move the clock I can't and I get a toast notification saying "Unable to edit in security mode". I also cannot install anything new, nothing happens when I click install. I tried searching and people said stuff about encryption, but I never encrypted my phone. Any help would be nice, I hate the default lock screen and want my widgets back :laugh:!

Disabling lock screen completely - possible?

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!!
