Transparent lock screen on top of home screen after fixing permissions in ROM manager

Transparent lock screen on top of home screen after fixing permissions in ROM manager...how to fix this?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk

While I cannot tell you how to permanently fix this, I can tell you it happens to me as well. I guess for now we must go re-choose the lockscreen wallpaper whenever we fix permissions.

Adb pull framework-res and change the default lock wallpaper and the keyguard wallpaper to ones of your choosing. They are in res/hdpi.

How to fix lock screen glitch?
Hey guys.
Quick question. Hope this is a good forum for this question. Hopefully someone has the answer that I have overlooked.
Lockmenu is a very cool lock screen app(to me, anyway. I'm a noob so...). Gives very quick access from the lock screen to whatever apps you wish. Sort of like Shortcuts, but directly from a lock screen.
My problem is when I unlock from the main Unlock Slider on the bottom left, it takes me to the default lock screen on my Skyrocket.
How do I disable the default system lock screen?
There is no option in the settings to disable the default lock screen for those of you who might think its that simple.
Anyone else having this problem?
I have tried the Nolock app first to disable the default system lock screen, but...
So in other words I go through two lock screens most of the time. Once in awhile it will unlock to the home screen from the Lockmenu Unlock Slider as it is supposed to.
I'm running ICS rooted on Galaxy Skyrocket.
Any help is much appreciated.

Disable stock lockscreen in titanium?

What is the service called so I can freeze it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

You cant freeze that. There is nothing to freeze.
Why not just go to the Security portion of settings and disable the lockscreen? Just dont put any pattern, pin, or anything. Then anytime you lock the screen it just powers down the screen, hit the power button and its back on, no lock screens of any kinds.

Thanks.
But I want a lockscreen.
I use WidgetLocker and every once in awhile, I get the stock lockscreen and have to swipe it away, then I get the Widgetlocker screen immediately after and have to swipe that away also.
And a couple other buggy type gremlin stuff. Nothing serious, just bits of annoying.
So it would be easier if I could just delete or freeze the stock lockscreen.

Your not going to be able to freeze it because its not really an app to freeze. Its part of the android.policy.jar and framework-res.apk file. This is what the rom makers mess with when they forcing say the AOSP lockscreen.
As far as why the stock one keeps showing up, something is not right, if you set the lockscreen to none on the security settings, then the widgetlocker should be the only one showing up, you shouldnt have two lockscreens. That only happens if you have the security set to a native lockscreen and then widget locker is sitting on top of that.

Huh, if that's the way it's supposed to be done, then I wonder why WidgetLocker doesn't do it for me.
I just turned off the lockscreen in security (I think) and WidgetLocker is still working. I assumed it would be disabled also, if I turned off lockscreen. We'll see if this does the trick. Thanks.

The lockscreen settings in the settings tab only affects the original one, it cant adjust the widgetlocker one. It doesnt even know about that.
So if you removed the lockscreen from settings, it wont show the original samsung one anymore. If they still have Widgetlocker installed and enabled, it will then be your lockscreen. If you dont want that, then you need to disable Widgetlocker and either get another one you like or put the samsung one back on since you said you still want some type of lock screen, otherwise you wont have any lock screen, just a screen power off.
The lockscreen apps unfortunately cant modify the existing base OS code, they litterally just sit on top of the existing one and sort of inject themselves in there by you giving them the default. But if the stock/samsung one is enabled it still goes into effect, thats why you end up with two lockscreens. So basically you need to enable just one of them.

Yeah, that works up until a reboot. Then the stock one pops up again

Yep, it looks like you can disable any security settings that pertain to the default lockscreen. Like removing a pin, or special drawing function to unlock.
But it doesn't actually remove the lockscreen itself.
So I tried "No Lock":
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...nolock&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
This completely disables the default lockscreen.
But on reboot, you still see the lockscreen for like two seconds, then it goes away on its own.
I'll try this combo with WidgetLocker for awhile to see how it works. So far so good, but the real test will be over a few days use.
Sometimes that stock lock screen would come up when I bring the phone out of deep sleep. It's fairly rare, just enough to be a small annoyance.

Are you on a rom with 14 toggle? If It has a locksreen toggle, thats what I used when I used golocker. It never showed stock, except on a reboot.

[Q] How to modify stock ICS Lock screen?

We all know that changing one particular line in the build.prop file from "true" to "false" will turn the LG Lock screen into the Stock ICS Lock screen.
What I want to know is, how do we go about editing that lock screen? I am very sure that it is within the system files (how else would the phone be able to access it?), but I can't seem to see anything related to it.
Why would I want to edit the ICS lock screen you ask? It's to remove that grey bar below and to lock down the notif.bar, so you can only open it by swiping to unlock. That, and to add some psuedo-ripple effect that I've read about somewhere else

simplest way to "remove" grey bar from ICS lockscreen´s bottom is replacing "bottom_bar.png" in framework-res.apk with resized one. direction to this file is: "\framework-res\res\drawable-hdpi".
*in attachments two pngs for example
edit// the same file is also in lge-res.apk

So the settings are in the framework-res, and the only way to mess around with the lock screen is through that apk? Got it :good: Will work on this when I have the time, thanks.
That's one question down... Now, to figure out how to lock down the notif. bar xD

[Q] Change lock screen app

Hello,
I am trying to change my lock screen app, from the standard one to Picturesque, the new one from Microsoft. But when I install it, it only shows up a few seconds after unlocking my phone. I first get the standard Xperia lockscreen and after 1second it swaps to the new lockscreen app.
Is there any way to change this? The 1 second wait makes it totally useless as a lockscreen replacement.
So how do I get rid of the xperia lockscreen and replace with my own custom lockscreen app?
Thx a lot

Deactivate lockscreen in Settings. I guess then youre problem should be solved.

Question App Icons Changing locations on its Own

Hi,
Does anyone faces this issue?
I have moved the app icons to the layout that I want and also lock the home screen layout.
However, the icons will still shift on its own to another page after a reboot. Then when I try to shift it back, it said the home screen is locked. Its weird that I cannot move the icons but the phone can move the icons even though the home screen layout is locked.
