Are there any ways to install another lockscreen but not by using apps (making them native, I don't like the way it works in widgetlocker app). I have root, CWM and so on
To be honest I want puzzle lockscreen like it was in Vibrant.
*Ripple lock

But unfortunately this is still an app superimposed to the original home screen or lock screen (which sometimes appears...)
Also the notification bar remains visible!
Original lock screen can't be actually replaced, but only hidden.

That's why I dont like those apps.
And why are there tons of lock screen in Vibrant Roms/i9000/Captivate and difficulties with i9100? What is the principal difference?

Besides home button unlocks the screen. Even with enabled and disabled notification bar.

+1 on that!! I hate the lockscreen so much, I'm using AntiLock to disable it. Apps like WidgetLocker or RippleLock are no proper alternatives because they either unlock with the home key, or have 5 seconds limitation, show the Samsung lockscreen underneath and such.
Just like you, I wonder what's taking devs so long to come up with alternatives. Why is it more challenging on this phone than others?
Guys,
I'm using WidgetLocker and enabled the Root Helper option, and also disabled the default Lock Screen. (In Advanced menu) and also checked Disallow WL suspend.
With these setting the defualt screenlock is only displayed for 1-2 sec when I restart the phone. but that's all.
Previously I also encountered the problem that I had to unlock the WL and then the stock one but now only WL is running.
I don't like lock screen in widgetlocker and in gingerbread itself. I like puzzle one or the one from ripple lock, but it doesnt work properly
Is there any type of app or mod that can modify and specify when the security/pattern/pass code for the lock screen is active?
Example: setting the security active from 10am-4pm during work and disabling the security from 4pm-12am while at home.

FYI- I just checked to see if my paid version of Widget Locker had that ability and it does not.
Different, but similiar
You could try something like "WIFI UNLOCK" apps out there. I'm not sure what one is best, but It'll keep your phone unlocked as long as you're connected to specified SSID's.
I have used fingerprint but it seems not practical. How can I disable it now

fingerprint sensor is awesome and in a perfect place.
but if you want, goto settings, fingerprint setup, and just delete the stored patterns. or goto security and change lock type
Thank you
I got it
I've selected a different lock screen type, but it still keeps posting "Do you want to use your fingerprint to secure your screen?"
How do i get rid of that text?

Hello,
I had tried a password, then I switched it to PIN. I realize I don't really want a lock at all but the top option to disable it is greyed out - my only three choices seem to be to switch between PIN, password and patten. I'm guessing there is another place to disable it but I can't find it.
Thanks

Yes - that is the problem the top selection - NONE is greyed out. I can only select between pattern, pin and password.
ALL items but the bottom 3 choices on that screen are greyed out.

You have an application installed that requires a password.
Maybe you have an exchange account and the policies are set, something.
I can disable the password on my phone with no issues.

Go into "Settings"
Then "Security"
Then "Phone Administrators"
Then you will need to deactivate "Foxfi" as a device admin, by selecting it then deactivating it.
If that doesn't work, I'm at a losss.

Thanks - I looked there - I have email - which has always been there and android device manager.
It turns out it was indeed foxfi. I went to security - clear credentials and it worked!!
I set finger print unlock on edge but somehow, when I unlock the phone it always ask for swipe to unlock instead. Maybe 1 out of 10 or 20 unlock it will ask for a finger print.
Anyone else have this problem! Or know what's going on?

You probably have smart lock enabled. Did you set up an android wear device or other bluetooth device and say yes on the notification for smart lock? Or maybe you set a trusted place?
Whenever I'm connected to my moto 360, I get swipe unlock instead of fingerprint, because screen lock is disabled by Smart Lock.

I do have smartlock on for my 360, but I tried disabling it and walk away without my 360 and the phone still only ask for swipe unlock instead of fingerprint.

Default was set to 10 min... That's why it always asked to swipe instead. Thanks!

When I wake the phone to lock screen,I have to swipe the screen to unlock, THEN it asks for the fingerprint, how can I bypass the swipe to allow it to unlock with just the fingerprint?

I've got the same issue. None of the above suggestions helped. Did you get this figured out?
---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 AM ----------
Nevermind, I was able to get it by removing all my Trusted Devices. Had like 5 things in there. Tried removing one at a time but it only worked when I removed all of them.
Thanks for the info. I was having the same problem with my S6 but seems to be doing what I want now!!!!!
i am having the same issue..
the fingerprint works fine but when i swipe up it shows me an option to use fingerprint or pattern..
in this screen my fingerprint doesnt work and i have open using the pattern only..
any help guys ??
Another possible solution is to uninstall the "Start" app.
