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, has anyone tried any other launchers yet? I'd prefer one with the google now cards.
I assume the pixel or google launcher will work well??
Let me know whatyou have tried
I use the Google Now launcher. It's in the store. Been using it on my last few phones and love it.
Just installed it. Works great (so far). I copied my Nexus 5X over to set up the v30 and installing the launcher restored all my previous icons and screens that were hidden by the LG launcher.
i used the google now launcher but the icons are too big.
downloaded the Nova launcher with Google Companion - much better. smooth, fast, and looks great. plus it has the pixel style app drawer (scrolling up)

I am currently using Nova Launcher on my Moto X Pure, but I couldn't find "Google Companion" in the play store. Am I missing something?
I can't wait to buy my unlocked v30 on (hopefully) October 27!
http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/0...lly-gets-google-now-integration-apk-download/
or google "google companion nova"
I use Nova prime and it's amazing truly. But I've used it on all my last phones. The v30 clearly runs it the best but still truly liked go launcher years ago until they got way into money grabbing for features.
I'm using the modified compatible pixel launcher. I also have Nova prime but I'm liking this so far. Works great!! https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.xda-developers.com/pixel-launcher-2-android-oreo-download/amp/

That's the same one I've been using. It really does work great. I like that swipe right for Google Now works. :good:
Has anyone figured out how to use a third party launcher like Nova with finger print to unlock and double tap to sleep?

Under Nova Settings. Gestures & Inputs, Double Tap - Choose Screen Lock. To set that gesture to work with the finger print scanner you have to set it as a preference. If you are not prompted when you set it up go Settings Advanced - Screen Lock Method, Choose 5 second option.
There is a slight delay if you double tap and want to turn the screen back on with the finger print scanner. (Pressing the power button twice will get the phone on and unlocked in this case if 5 seconds has not gone by.) But overall it's a workable compromise for me.
I am using the beta version of Nova in case this is a beta item...
Take Care!!

I use Action launcher. There is a google now plug in, but I just set up a gesture to swipe from left to right that opens it without the plug in.
Action launcher is packed with great features, like covers.

If the finger print scanner is not working on unlock from the AOD, then open Nova Settings. Go to Advanced, Screen Lock Method. Make sure you have Timeout selected. Then when you double tap the screen will go black for 5 seconds, then the AOD will come on and you should be able to unlock it with the scanner. If you ever want to unlock it quicker, press the power button once to turn off, then unlock with the scanner.. Usually for me the 5 seconds is not an issue.
If you can't live with the 5 second delay, then you will have to use another launcher. I don't know if Action Launcher or Lawnchair suffer the same issues.

No issues with finger print and action launcher. I don't see how a launcher would break it anyways...

On Nova, for some reason if you set it to actually lock the screen and not go blank for the 5 seconds, it will make you enter the actual password. I tried it and it wouldn't accept the fingerprint. Kinda weird.

That is odd, my 1 minute timeout works with no issues.
Action launcher did remove the double tap to turn the screen off unfortunately, they said google wanted it removed for some reason.
hey, I was trying to get nova and screen double to lock phone, but it doesn't work since pin will be required. and i would need root.
But huawei already has a widget screen lock that only works on huawei launcher... and when i try to make double tap trigger than widget, i get app is not installed or permission denied. can anyone know how to get it to work? or any app that makes fingerprint work with triggering screen lock?
Thanks
I have send a mail to Nova support but didn't have an answer yet. Too bad that this isn't working on Mate 10 Pro.
I have same problem, anybody have solution for this?
i've the same problem too

I'm not exactly sure what it is that you're trying to do but... I have the Mate 10 (non-pro) and I use Nova Prime and I also have double tap to lock set up and it works just fine. Now there are two choices when using it from Nova. One choice locks the screen immediately which requires a pin/password to unlock... nature of the beast. The second choice will turn off the screen immediately BUT you have to wait 5 seconds for it to lock the phone which does allow the fingerprint scanner to unlock the phone. So, not sure what you are trying to accomplish but I hope this helps! :fingers-crossed:

only problem with that method is if you touch the bottom of the screen where the keys are within 20 seconds the screen will wake up even if in your pocket

OK, I definitely don't like that option of 5 seconds because if I want to unlocked immediately it doesn't work, anyway, I have a question, you said that use nova prime and the double tap gesture with the action of screen lock, enables you to unlock with the fingerprint? Or a PIN is required?

Pin is required!
A pin or password is required if you select to Lock Immediately upon double tap. This is an Android thing that for some reason cannot be bypassed...I do not know the particulars. But the other option, where you need to wait a little over 5 seconds after the double tap...will allow the unlock with the fingerprint. I have been doing this for years on various phones and it works quite well. You do not have to wait 20 seconds...however, during the 5-6 second wait period you need to leave the phone alone... do not move it...or if you do move it then you need to be as careful as you can not to activate one of the motion sensors, or touch the screen. So then, let's say you have it set to the 5 second lock and you double tap to lock and you need to get up right away and move...then if you are careful not to touch the screen and not swing the phone like a madman, then it will still lock after 5 or 6 seconds and the fingerprint scanner will unlock it as expected. The best use for this method is when the phone is sitting on a desk and you double tap to lock and leave the phone just sitting there for those few seconds. It's not "exactly" what you want but it's better than any alternative at this point.

10 seconds, 10 interminable seconds!
This software is ridicule...
I have timed it on my Mate 10 (non-pro) and it takes 6 seconds to completely lock. You can move the phone around during these 6 seconds but should not touch the screen and it will lock. Not much else you can do as far as I know. Again, this an Android thing, not anything to do with Huawei, or Nova.

Not exactly true.
If you need unlock the phone during those 5-6 sec, just touch the screen in the position of Home button on navigation bar twice and the home screen is up again, since it wasn't fully locked yet.

I have a Huawei Nova 2i & was looking for the same. Go to Smart Assistance & activate Floating Dock.
Root is the only option if you want the double tap to sleep to work as you want. Sucks.
When I turn the screen on my phone with smart Lock it opens to a blank lock screen. I have to hit the power button twice after that to get it to open to my home page. Is there a known solution to this?
Is direct unlock enabled?

Thanks that fixed it.
Strangely I got the same problem. Direct unlock enabled. First unlock bring me to a blank desktop (only wallpaper and status bar showing). I have to then lock the phone again and unlock - and then the launcher is up and running. - Samsung A3 2016
Edit: With Direct unlock off it seems to work, but then you have to swipe to show the launcher...

Hi, I am having exactly the same issue with a Poco F1 running the latest Lineage 16 ROM. Has anyone managed to suggest a fix for this? I love the ROM, but I used to use the Direct Unlock feature without issue until recently, and I really miss this feature.
Here's hoping someone can help with this,

Hello guys,
I owned an android phone named vivo y15a (not a good phone). Recently, I've tried the microsoft launcher and kinda like what provided by them (don't judge me). so the problem started here. I have mc launcher as my default launcher in setting but the vivo home screen oftenly appears every time, either I push the home button or swipe the navigation bar up. Please give me the way out from this mess
