Hey guys,
New to the android world n I'm trying to get the hang of it so pls bear with me and my silly questions. Hopefully some of you may be able to help me with this question.
So as the title goes, I'm trying to remove the stock lockscreen slider since it seems to be kind of inaccurate everytime I slide to unlock. Sometimes it hits immediately but most if the time requires 2 tries.
I wish to replace it with something better but I don't know yet where to get the apk for it.
The phones rooted already and I am using sdx stock app remover. I am trying to figure out which apk I need to remove to disable the lockscreen. Does anybody know the name of the necessary apk file?
On top of that can I replace the deleted apk with a custom lockscreen? If possible, where can I find good ones.
I hope someone will be kind enough to help me. I really don't like the slider bar on the motoblur.
Thanks,
Aqua

I wouldn't mess with it until we get an sbf, but until then you can get a lock screen replacement from the market, there's lots of them like GOTO Lockscreen, Lock 2.0, FlyScreen, Widget Locker Lockscreen and many more Hope this helps
Cool! Thnx man. That helps a lot. I've been looking for an app to do so but never could find a good answer. I won't play around with the core files till things are clear. Thnx again.

Ehmm yea but that disables the security feature like the pin or pattern or Biometrics. What I want to disable is the screen lock slider.

get 'no lock' from the market
I'm with you on this, I would like to get rid of the stock slider and still keep my pin/pattern lock. I use widget locker so of course I have redundant screen locks whenever the security lock kicks in. 'no lock' on the market removes the security lock as well.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In my search for no lock, I ran across a few apps on the market that did this as well. Don't remember which ones, but if you search on 'no lock' a few of the apps that come up do exactly what you're looking for - you just have to put in the time and go through them...
The stock motorola slider and the PIN/Password security are all the same screen and cannot be interacted with separately in any standard manner. I'm looking into alternative ways of doing this, but they're very complicated even with root. Pattern is less strictly tied to slider, and already works better in 2.0 with WL 2.0.1 improving it more, but motorolas slider in front of the pattern is very difficult to deal with too.
Me personally I love using my fingerprint locker instead of the slider, it's quicker and more efficient. Just a quick heads up
I'd love using it too if it doesn't keep missing my fingerprint. Sometimes it could take up to 3 or 4 times to unlock. Don't know why.
So Im now using widget locker. Awesome app.

I have looked through almost all of the apps on the market, but I have yet to find one (compatible with SGT10.1) that would lock a certain screen.
I am looking for an app that locks my applications, but that would also require a password to get to a certain screen. Say screen #5 is where I would want to put all of my locked apps and widgets and it would require a pw to get to view just that screen.
Does anyone know of an app currently like this on the market?
I came looking for porn, didnt find it, but figured while I was here I could ask a question:
Let me first say I sync my phone to my works Exchange and they force some security settings on my phone, like the pincode to unlock the phone. On my Desire HD and GalaxyII I had WidgetLocker installed so I could control Spotify without unlocking the phone and typing the pin.
On the Razr it kinda looks like the standard lock screen would let me add widgets to it, but I cant figure out how so i started using WidgetLocker on this as well.
However, when I am in the widget locker screen and "slide to unlock" it just takes me to the standard "lock screen" and i must slide again and enter a pin code.
I assume WL have disabled the lock screen on the Desire and Galaxy, but cant on this?
Any ideas?
All i want is to be able to control Spotify without typing the pin and unlocking the phone, so if you have any other suggestion on how to get this done I would love you long time for it
Download the free app "no lock". It should take care of your issue. I use WL on my RAZR and have the No Lock app set to disable the stock lock screen. Works great.
I use WidgetLocker on my LG Thrill, but it often fails and I need to go through the normal swipe to unlock screen as well.
Is there a lock screen replacement that actually replaces the lock screen? I like being able to go straight to my camera or shazam without have to unlock and then dig for the apps, but I'm not so keen on using widget locker.
Have you tried the "disable stock lockscreen" option in the settings

widget locker seems to work fine for me on my att note.
I am in no way a programmer, but I'm really wanting to lock down a phone, so that it has no internet browser capabilities. I have a Moto G4 that I have just rooted and is running the Elemental IX Kernal. I installed the Build.prop app that helped me make some changes in removing some features, but I'm having a hard time finding instructions to remove the Google Search Bar Widget and the Google App from a rooted phone . Removing the search bar, isn't enough because the Google App launches the search bar as well. I've tried app locking software (4 different ones) that will lock the Google App, but it makes the phone unusable with a lock screen that pops up every time you try to clear it, even though you aren't doing anything to the phone. My assumption is that something is running in the background that triggers the lock screen from these app lockers, so maybe if I'm somehow able to kill that process?
Any suggestions on how to deal with these apps?
Note- Nova Launcher is not a solution for me. When I install Nova Luancher, I am then unable to lock down the Google Now launcher, so anyone can just switch from Nova's to Google's launcher and then have free access to search the internet with the Google Search Bar.
