So, I hate lock screen, i find them useless and annoying. so I use No Lock, have since I got Android over a year ago. i've used a few other appas andwidget that do the same thing, but all of them eventually have the same problems. they eat RAM, and occasionally crash from time totime and cause glitches here and there. but I still hate lock screens. so i'm wondering, is there anyway to permanently disable it, maybe with root access, without using an app in the background? like by deleting a certain file or something. or maybe a custom ROM somewhere can do it as a menu option? can Cyanogen do it maybe?

I used to own an iphone 4 and that device has great responsivnes. The captivate not so much. ALot of times I would have to tap 2-3 times, especially the 4 main bottom keys. Anyways, I went to android for pure customization. Can someone help me out? I cannot find the option to disable the screen lock on my captivate. I just want to be able to lock/unlock it with a button, instead of swyping the unresponsive screen. Thanks
Go download Lock Bot on the market.

Yeah I figured. Well if I can't disable this annoying screen lock, ill just set the lock out to 30 minutes. This android device has such an unresponsive screen compared to the iphone 4. I find myself having to tap 2-3 times on an icon and the system also LAGS. Any of you expereinicing this or is it just me? For example, i have a full album of really high quality DSLR images and in the gallery mode, pictures sometimes take forever to load when im scrolling through. My old iphone 4 did this instantly. Switching between apps like Email, web browser and MP3 player would not be instant. 2-5 second lag in between. Really disapointing on the captivate.
The poster above just gave you the solution for disabling the locking screen so I don't know why you are still posting about not being able to do it.
I experienced so major lagging etc when I first got the Captivate. I hard reset it to start fresh. Since then, I've used the stock launcher, Launcher Pro etc loaded lots of apps and I'm not experiencing lagging anymore with the exception of Exchange email which takes a second to open.
Seems like you were really satisfied with the iphone 4. You keep referring to it like an old girlfriend. "My old girlfriend never hassled me about going out with the boys..." At least, if the Captivate doesn't work out for you, you have a phone to go back to that you were apparently happy with.

yeah, we have a thread solely for whining in...there was never a need for you to make a new topic about this. it just clutters the homescreen.
simple searching would answer a lot of your questions...root the phone, remove the att bloatware and then restart it and get a task killer. problem solved.
don't use the sammy widgets if you don't like them (i use them and they don't lag) and most importantly, android allows for customization but it's based off linux so heed these words - YOU NEED TO DO IT YOURSELF. in other words, you need to write the app that bypasses the lock screen, you need to write your own themes and you need to quit whining about it.
the iPhone has a lock screen too, i don't know why yours is being laggy but like everything YMMV...so try the fixes (refer to pimp my captivate) and then let us know if you have any other issues...
oh and welcome to the forums, just use the damn search button
I have an app protector that I like to use on my phone as oppose to a lockscreen, but I'm running into one slight issue. If someone reboots the phone, there is about a 30-second gap in between booting the phone and the app locker booting, leaving time for them to say, install apps, or bypass other security tricks I've implemented. Is there some way I can put my app protector on some sort of boot priority list? I'd like to be able to run without a lockscreen and keep someone using the device rather than have them toss it or get rid of it quickly.
Ok so I got this upgraded, rooted, etc to MM and now I have the annoying google search bar on the home screen. How the @#$% do I remove it? In the past you could hold down and it would let you remove it, not anymore it would seem but can't figure it out.
Probably a simple stupid thing that I am just missing...

That search bar in the google now launcher is permanent, and i see two options; install a custom launcher like nova or root your device and use xposed to get rid of that search bar
App manager from system, Stop and disable it, or Ccleaner or whatever software for managing system apps and search for "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox" or only "Google's app" app and disable it
Alternatively you can always install another launcher to your liking...

Thanks for the info everyone. I just disabled it for the time being, frustrating as I sometimes use the app but don't want it on my home screen, would just prefer to open it when I need it...
Thx
Nova, despite my love for it through my Desire S/SGS3/SG Note 3/Nexus 7 (2013) days, seemed to cause some performance slowdown and occasionally caused some issues unlocking my K1.
Considering the K1 appears to be a bit wobbly on stability it might have been a fluke but both times I've had Nova running, I've bumped into issues.
I'm currently with the latest version. I rooted my Z5 about a month after buying it and some weeks later I installed Xposed on it. Since then I have experienced these problems:
- On the YouTube app I can't watch any videos after watching a certain quantity of them (I haven't done the experiments to know what that quantity is). The only solution is to restart the phone.
- Similar to the previous problem, the fingerprint scanner stops working after some uses. Or maybe it's after a certain time, since once I experimented using it continuously until it stopped working but I stopped at about 30 uses because it was still working. It says the hardware isn't working, or something like that. Again, the solution is to restart the phone.
- The last (maybe) problem is probably related to Xposed or root. When going to the settings and trying to see the apps section, it takes tooo long to load. I do have a big amount of apps, but I feel like it's just to much. The worst part is that when I directly go to an app's settings (without going through the phone's settings and all) it is very slow, like it was loading all apps again
So, do any of these problems have solutions? Or does it only happen to me?
Oh, and I need to address this:
Is there a way to hide the headphone notification? I hate it and hate the fact that Sony put it there just because yes and with no option to disable it.

You can do it with the xosed module GravityBox.
I.m a bit worried because,since few days, whatever I m doing, suddenly my screen lock appears (with fingerprint) !
It's about every 10-20 min; more often just after unlock
Of course it's not blocking, but quite annoying...
I'm running stock, no root, no mod, with gm1910 model default,/native screen lock
I suspected Ms launcher,, but even back to op launcher it's same...
Also, o have to say that I don't install too many apps all the time... Shouldn't be a virus issue...
Any idea where it could came from???
Edit: solved. that was due to a fuzzy option in the developer menu, about smartlock.
