Is there a setting or way to disable the lock screen in CM7.1?
I have tried the Notification widget to turn it off, but every time I reboot I have to disable it again, looking for a permanent solution.
I believe there is a setting built into CM7, but if I'm wrong, I use an app called No Lock free from the market that does exactly what you want, and it'll still be there after a reboot.

I search all over in CM7 Settings, but couldn't find anything...
Edit: permanent solution which sticks even after reboot is to disable screen lock from CM settings> tablet tweaks> disable screen lock.
Sorry had to edit the post.

The one place I didn't check!!
Who would have thought? Of course Tablet tweaks makes much more sense than putting it in Lock Screen settings...
As odd as it sounds, are you able to change the clock on the lock screen or change the "effects" for the swipe to unlock?
I could do so before the AT&T upgrade, but I can't now (although, the upgrade may not be the cause). The selection in the Lock Screen Settings is gone and the clock widget no longer shows up in the widget list.

Well... On my phone, it used to be there. I actually ran into this issue, yesterday afternoon. I did a factory reset to see if it would fix the issue. At that point "Select Screen Lock" appeared under the Lock Screen selection in Display (which can also be reached via the Lock Screen Settings when you push the Settings button while on a home screen.
This isn't a matter of me not knowing how to make the change (I've already done so twice: 1) with my original phone and 2) with this phone, after replacing the original for the phone jack issue). The setting selection is no longer there (and the clock widget, no longer appears in my widget list and it was there before the AT&T SW update). FWIW.... the effects settings for the lock screen are also gone. This is truly bizarre.
Looks like you need to get the apk from someone and adb push it to /system/app and then reboot.

I'm probably demonstrating my ignorance, but if I was able to procure the apk and use adb to push it, what prevents it from disappearing again?

It probably was only deleted by the update. Sometimes that happens. Some samsung updates on my phone deleted the browser and gapps. As long as you push the apk, I don't see why it would disappear. Although, have you checked other places in settings? Perhaps LG reorganized.

I too don't see why it would disappear. Which has me completely baffled. I've checked every where, but I seriously doubt that it's a "reorganization" of the settings menus. The menus were exactly as laid out in the LG manual, youtube videos and as described by people who have responded to this thread (and the other one in the LGOG unbranded thread), when I first started the phone and after each factory reset. Then within an hour or two, they were no longer in the Lockscreen menu.

Even if the apk was deleted, the references to it would still be in settings.apk, so the menu option would be there, but clicking it would lead to a force close.

I gave up and returned the phone for a new one. Hopefully, they won't just turn it around and give it to someone else as a replacement, but will completely reinstall the OS and test it.
Follow up question for one of you extra smart dev types....
New phone has the same issue (several of the lock screen settings are gone). In addition to installing apps from Google Play Store, I also install apps that allow me to get my work emails and calendar (as well as work IM). The apps are: Junos Pulse (security/anti-virus), Lotus Traveler (for email and calendar) and Lotus Sametime. Lotus Traveler requires that I use a password lock. If someone enters an incorrect password, 10 consecutive times, it automatically starts factory reset, to wipe the storage.
I noticed that the lock screen menu options disappeared after I installed and activated the 3 apps listed above. Is it possible that Traveler is deleting the lock screen options menus as part of it's security settings?

Uninstall the apps and see... you can answer that question..... because I have 2 of these phones and both phone still have the options.

I noticed the same thing. For me, it was my MS Exchange account. It requires a PIN secured lock. Once activated, the clock and shortcut options disappeared in Settings. I removed the MES account and they reappeared. So, I set to my liking, then set up/activated the Exchange account afterwards.

I can't uninstall the app. From what I can tell, the only way to do so, is to do a factory reset. I haven't rooted the device. I'm certain that I could do the uninstall if I were to root the phone. At this point, it's not worth doing so (I'm considering returning it for a refund and get an N4).

Thanks for the confirmation, that someone else is experiencing this issue (and I'm not crazy).
I have noticed on mine that those lock screen settings (clock& shortcuts and screen effect) only show up if it set to "Swipe to unlock". If you set it to pattern or pin, those options disappear, however what you selected before stays in effect.
If you switch it back to "swipe to unlock", those settings will reappear and you can change them again, and then switch back to pattern or pin.
I don't know if it's by design, but I hope not.

Wow, that's very interesting. I seriously doubt that swipe to unlock vs PIN or Password unlock is supposed to result in menu items disappearing.
Update: I've figured out the method to uninstall the lotus email apps (you have to deactivate it as device manager 1st, if anyone is interested). After doing so, I can confirm that the lock screen settings that disappeared have in fact reappeared.
My issue is different, just got the phone and the 4 app shortcuts were on the lock screen. I changed the clock and now they have disappeared from the lock screen. I changed it back to the default clock and the quick apps are still missing. How do I get those back I'd like to quickly get into camera and browser from my lock screen.
* This is an Xposed module. You MUST have Xposed Framework installed. Otherwise this app WILL NOT FUNCTION.. You can download Xposed here: http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
With Quick Access, you can allow your selected apps to be launched over the lockscreen without unlocking your device. You can also swipe up from the on-screen home button to launch Google Now or launch applications from lockscreen widgets without unlocking your phone . For example, allow your camera, music, and to-do list applications to be launched over the lockscreen to access them in an instant. Allow your friends to browse your music library without fully unlocking your device, quickly add a task to your to-do list; or never miss that photo opportunity; with Quick Access the possibilities are limitless!
In addition, Quick Access also enables you to expand your status bar in secure lockscreen and also show all widgets (instead of only lockscreen widgets) in lockscreen widget picker
Computer Mode: This allows you to let the timer keep going, even when the screen is off. This means that you can use EyeRelax to limit your time on the computer, television, or whatever other device you own, without using battery to keep the screen on and the timer running!
Notes:
- To launch applications from DashClock widget, please select DashClock in Quick Access. Or more specifically the activity: com.google.android.apps.dashclock.WidgetClickProxyActivity.
- To launch Google Now by swiping up from the on-screen home button while in the lockscreen, please select Google Now in Quick Access, or more specifically the activities: com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.SearchActivity AND com.google.android.velvet.ui.VelvetActivity.
- This application does not actually launch the applications (yet), it just allows them to be launch (via other methods) over the lockscreen. A good application to do that is DashClock.
Downloads:
Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.TwinBlade.QuickAccess
Xposed Repo: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.twinblade.quickaccess
will surely giv a try.

Yes it should work with all stock Android lockscreens.
experiencing what I believe is a bug:
I had three apps check to allow quick access, I rebooted, and now when I go back into QA they are all unchecked, and I can no longer check any other apps due to the 3 app restriction.
Sry but i don't really understand how it works. I tried it with some apps. Can someone post a example pic?

Thanks for the bug report. The issue has been fixed and version 1.2 has been push to the play store and the xposed repository.

I'll give an example. If you select your music application in Quick Access, you don't have to unlock your lockscreen to view that app. If you launch your music app and turn your screen off and on again, normally you'll have to unlock the lockscreen to access your music app, but with QA the music app will be displayed over the lockscreen so it's the first thing you see when you turn your screen on.
Another example with lockscreen widgets. If you have a google now widget on your lockscreen and click on it, normally you'll have to unlock first; with QA google now will be displayed over the lockscreen.
I have the examples make sense.
Ahh know i understand, thx!
Have trouble with this. I select the apps in QA, reboot, and nothing on my lockscreen.
Any suggestions?

If you launch one of the apps you selected, turn your screen off and on again, do you see your lockscreen or the app you just launched?

If your Downloads page is set to sort by status, it's right there in alphabetical order. If it's sorted by last update, it's the fifth listed. If it's sorted by creation date, it's the first one at the top of the page. And this is ignoring the fact that Xposed has a search function.
Quick Access (v. 1.3) crashes every time I try to launch it.
I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 with stock ROM (4.3).
OP: High hopes for this little app if got working perfectly!
BUG: Reboot command fails to execute. The app gets stuck at the command, and force closes!

Sounds like a root issue to me.
FWIW, it's better to just use the reboot option in the power menu anyways. The reboot option in the power menu allows apps and processes to terminate gracefully whereas when an app reboots it just kills all apps and processes.
interesting concept. so is this the same kind of idea as what google maps does then? where if the screen goes off, and you unlock, it will just wake up to maps? and then if you try to back out, it'll request that you do the passcode?
Loving my Mate 20 Pro, coming from HTC U11 big difference! (though to be honest am missing my phone a bit :crying: )
Anyway on the HTC I had the option to hide apps from the app list/drawer. Not uninstall them, just hide them from the list of installed apps. Is this possible with the Huwaei? Don't want nosy husband/kids to know all the apps I have installed. And yes they all have access to my phone
EMUI has a "Hidden Application Menu" which you can access by doing a two finger zoom gesture on the home screen (reverse of a pinch)
After opening this tap the + to add apps. Then just pinch to go back to normal.
Just remembered - this is disabled by default on the M20P so do the following:
- Install "Tweaker for Huawei" from the Play Store
- When you go to turn on the hidden application menu it will say you can't and to download an addon
- download the addon and tap to install it - you will be prompted to allow installs
- enable the hidden application menu then restart the phone
That should be it.

Thank you! I have installed and installed the add on and enabled hidden application menu no problem. I am zooming in on all screens, nothing. Zooming in on all pages does nothing, and cannot find a setting anywhere to hide an app.
You need to zoom out XD
Aha I actually meant out as in a reverse pinch. Nothing a happening
And your setting in Tweaker looks like this?
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZSflN9lSx3biVDRbZOVC6zlY1A1hfxHX/view?usp=sharing
Yes exactly.
Then I don't know That should be it as long as you restarted the phone after enabling it.

I can now hide applications running on my Mate 20 pro
I have been faced with the problem of hiding applications but applied the solution suggested by you, but I must explain to you why you did not work first after you have all the steps listed + restart the device must return to the same option and activate it again and on activation you will see a message that was activated and after this step You must change Drawer and make Standard and then work with you

Hello, if you change "Drawer" to "Standard" and now hide the app and then select back "Drawer", does the app stays hidden or it shows inside the app drawer?
Thank you

I love this phone but everytime the screen turns off whatever app I had open closes (except Google apps). Does anyone know how to fix this? And to keep my app open so I can just pick up where I left off?

Ya that is the first thing I tried and it doesn't work.
If you haven't changed any default memory management setting (see developer's settings), then try to lock the app in Recent Apps, but in this case an app will never close and will also restart at boot.
I have checked all developer options and locked the apps and they still close. Is anyone else experiencing this?
If anyone is following this it turns out that if you have a work profile and use a different lock for each profile, that is what was doing it.
