I've looked everywhere on the internet, and I can't find any solution to disabling the lock screen on Cyanogen 6 on my EVO; is it even possible, or, is there any software that will either disable it, or let me use something besides the power button to unlock it?
thanks so much!
widget locker doesnt exactly disable the stock cm6 lockscreen but it does allow a lot of customization....including using the volume rocker to wake the phone.......
thanks; it looks like it might be the closest I will get to an actual "no lock"
its a pain getting to the power button with the case I am using

doesnt work properly for me on Cyanogen 6.0..
SwitchPro Widget is an excellent 'power strip' widget in the market. With it you can have a disable/enable lockscreen widget on your power strip. Well worth the .99 centers!

Thanks for the tip. SwitchPro is the best power strip widget... it's extremely customizable.
thanks guys, switch pro did the trick!
Although it seems like you've already solved your problem, the customizable power widget in CM6 final allows you to do this. When you add the power widget it takes you to a configuration page and one of the options is to disable the lock screen. It's off by default so you will need to check the box to add that feature to the power widget.

well, I configured one of the buttons to be "lock screen", or "no lock", i forgot the term for it..
then, when you enable it, it shuts off the lock screen..
problem is, that widget causes alot of FC's in Cyanogen..frankly, ALOT of widget cause alot of FC's in Cyanogen 6..not too happy with it so far..
I have switchpro and CM6.0 (final version...not a nightly) and i have never had it FC. Try reinstalling it maybe?

Ok. Looked and tried all kinds of things. I have the Droid bionic. its a great phone. for the most part, i love it. But is there any way to put some toggle switches in my notification bar? toggle notifications takes up too much space, and the all in one requires a pop up. Same for widgetsoid. had the incredible with cm7. If i could have something like power control widget right in the task bar that would be perfect. Or miui's toggle setup. is there anything i've missed?
thanks for your time.

I think it's a known gingerbread issue, no word on the Widgetsoid dev as of late... correct me if I'm wrong. I'm using quickdesk, I googled this problem and found a thread from a droidx forum that recommended the app. Just double tap home to bring up a homescreen that goes over your home screen, or any application you are on and you can put any widget or app of your choosing, it's not as easy as the notification pull down, but it's relatively fast to toggle what you need and you're not taking up screen space. Hope this helps.

Try a app called Notifications Toggle! It's a pretty Handy app!
Does anyone know a good looking lockscreen that will show you 'miss call' ?
I dont know about missed calls, but Lock Bot is an excellent replacement lockscreen that seems to work perfectly in FroYo. There are a lot of styles too.

You could also try WidgetLocker. I wasn't a big fan of it on my Aria because it seemed laggy and I'd see the stock lockscreen a lot of times, but the Infuse appears to actually have enough power to run WidgetLocker correctly. There's all sorts of stuff you can do to modify your lockscreen with that. You could set up a WidgetLocker lockscreen and then use a widget of your choosing to display the information you want. I'm working on and off right now on designing a widget to display missed calls, unheard voicemail, unread texts, and probably some other stuff with minimalistic text. WidgetLocker isn't free though, so read up on it before you buy it. It does have some quirks.
I personly do not like the lock screen at all and I use No Lock so that as soon as I hit power it is on my home or apps. Just make sure you have Advace Task Manager ignore it.
ummm.... the stock one?!?! that shows missed calls.
How did you remove the stock lockscreen?

"No Lock" is the name of an app that will turn off the stock lock screen. Its in the market.
The SGS II lockscreen is nice and has it. You need a ROM with it.

Would it be possible to implement a flashlight notification toggle like in cm 10.1 and long press home button activiation in lock screen??
I have a lockscreen widget and a normal widget right now but that's not nearly as fast as the methods described above.
Not to mention the no look possibility with the home button one.
I'm using a rooted Stock Rom MDM with an i9505
thanks in advance
im going to bump this out of interest because im going through holy hell trying to find a method to have an easy to use DISCREET flashlight toggle

There's a hidden settings page on every S4 that allows you to turn it on with volume up, when the screens off.

Hey guys. I wanted to share this. I use Nova launcher so I don't have the ability to Knock Off from my home screen. I have been trying to use the knock off on the status bar and it's just never right. I always ended up clicking and opening settings, or it just didn't work. When your phone is laying on its back with the rear buttons we have sometimes you may want to turn it off without using the hardware buttons.

I have disabled the quick settings with Xposed and use power toggles instead. It's great for adding a screen lock to the status bar and also torch. I just wanted to share that set up. Screen lock works EVERY time.

If you're using nova wouldn't it be easier to install a screen off app and set double tap gesture to that app, that's what I do and it works perfectly.

Well, I already use Power Toggles. I hate the stock Quick Settings. I tried that idea but then Nova Launcher just opens another app and I still have to click something in that app. So, having a quick setting in Power Toggles is easier for me.

Just like James as stated. I use Nova Launcher Prime and didn't want to lose the Knock On/Off feature.
So I installed Screen Off And Lock:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock
Under Gestures, assign the Double Tap to this Application. You can still hide the App within the App Drawer so no one would be the wiser.
you can also set a long press action to a nav-bar icon to lock screen with G2 exposed. thats what i use rather than knockoff.
Using this one with Nova Prime gesture. I see absolutely no need to have an app bigger than 50KB for such a simple task and this one is like 20KB and does the job perfectly. Keep it tiny and simple is my moto :laugh:

Kudos to you, works perfectly and no additional battery drain
I second the "Screen Off and Lock" app from the Play Store. Assign that to the Double Tap gesture in Nova Prime. Boom. Just like stock. Quick and painless. I hide the App from the Drawer and forget all about it.
This allows you to double tap anywhere in the launcher or Status Bar to turn off the screen. Best way to do it.

I would think it would work with any launcher that supports gestures. You just set the gesture to trigger knock off.

Alright.Unfortunately i think GNow Launcher doesn't support gestures
Yea it will work with any launcher that supports double tap. I've always used Nova Prime so it was a no brainer. I used to use Double Tap for the app drawer and delete the drawer icon from the dock. I like screen off better though.
Does Knock still work with nova? The reason why I'm asking is with my girlfriend lg which is stock the knock work to turn the screen on and when at the main stock launcher screen will turn it off. I'm on Nova and knock works when turning the screen on but to turn it off it wont work i have to use the back button or enable a hold button.
I have kind of found a work though with this problem I'm having. So what i did is in Nova settings when to the Gestures and Buttons option and selected double tap. From there go to the shortcuts tab and selected the greenify option "Hibernate + Lock" and this works like a charm.
I am using nova launcher. and I am doing the same thing I go into settings buttons and gestures and then I select double tap and use secure settings plugin to lock the screen, it's just as smooth and quick as using the stock launcher.

I've noticed that the knock off feature (by double-tapping any empty space on your homescreens) is only a LG launcher feature only. I'd recommend doing what others are doing. You can still turn off the screen by double-tapping the status bar which is what I personally do!
I use Nova but you guys need to install a app called screen off and lock in the play store. Then go to Nova settings, gusters and set Double tap to that app hide it also cheers.
You don't need an app for this. Should just be able to double tap in the status bar. You can tap anywhere to wake the phone. I'm not using Nova any longer but it worked. I'm using Next Launcher.

You need Nova Prime for the knock on/off feature.
I hate to disagree but if you double tap on the task bar (which is very easy) it works just fine. Prime or the free version. I just put it on the phone to test it and it works just like before.

No biggie. I love my Next Launcher but if I couldn't knock it off I dunno if I'd still use it. First day I just happened to try it and YES!
