I just downloaded and installed the ROM update(1.48.409) and SD card, Calendar view, SMS function, and digital Picture enchantment hotfixes.
The problem is that my Lock screen/slide to unlock screen is now gone.
I can press any of the physical buttons, and my device turns on.
This is very annoying when I have the device in my pocket.
Could anyone tell me how to get the Slide to unlock screen back?
Thanks!

YES lol
You could have first searched the forums, saved yourself a post, and not created ANOTHER redundant thread, but here's what you do...
Go to the start menu, select lock (bottom left softkey).
It works after you do that.
Incidentally, if you ever have it that you press an email preview in the email tab, and it doesn't open the email, this is the same problem. The fix applies to both issues.
Well, I did try to search the forum, but didn't find anything
Anyway, thanks!

No problem
I had the same problem.
Start and then press lock!
After that it started to work properly again

So, basically, the suggestion from above works?
U can just tap on start, that on lock (bottom left). From now on your phone lock will work again (and also opening e-mails from preview).
No Touch
Prevent accidental touches on your screen.
Useful when watching movies, passing the phone around, reading, etc.
Block:
Screen
Screen and Keys
Block / Unblock:
Camera Button
App Shortcut
Press Long Search
Quick Unblock:
Proximity Sensor
Apk attached for those without access to the android market.

Great idea! It seems every time I hand my phone to someone to look at or take a picture, the display will change and they'll say "what happened?". I'll give this app a try.

Is anyone even interested in this app?
Maybe it needs more features?

I am interested in it. I'm trying out the free version (before I buy) but I notice somethings. Maybe its just me but when I watch a movie on the default player on my Evo4G, after tapping on the screen a few times, the lock disables. I can skip through the entire movie and even get out. I'm going to try it with a different player later today.
A few suggestions,
1) It would be nice if the toggle button changed (ex. inverted colors) because when I had the movie problem, I couldn't tell if it was locked or unlocked.
2) Is it possible we can change the location of the toggle button, at least like different corners because it's too close to the home button when in landscape.
One final note, when its locked, you can still drag down the notification bar. So far its looking pretty good. Let me know if I'm doing something wrong since I've only been playing with it for about 30 minutes. Thanks.
Man, this is just what I was looking for ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431037 ). Super!
I want it for e-reading in kindle or aldiko. Tested so far briefly on Galaxy Tab 8.9 (android 3.2) and an HTC Desire (2.3.3) ... Just fine so far.
I first tried Screen Tools 2, but that one messed up the use of volume buttons for page flipping in both kindle and aldiko.
it took me a while to understand some of the options, like the meaning of "auto on toggle". Also, the toggle app shortcut only works as "on switch" for me... With touch screen disabled, the toggle can't be used to deactivate.
It also took me a while to figure out how to unlock (the use of the tiny toggle button is not documented in the settings or anywhere)
EDIT: I realize now this is what's meant by onscreen button in the settings
The option to leave the edge active is also great, although I will probably opt to switch pages with volume buttons.
EDIT: swiping pages this way works well on the tablet, but is hit and miss on the phone. The edge size may need to be user selectable?
I second the idea to color code the tiny toggle.
Great work.
EDIT: I was searching (Google) for a long time using keywords like "disable touch screen" (all about turning screen off) and "disable touch sensitivity" with no results... Until I found screen tools 2, and then very accidentally this one.

Extra feature idea....
disable touch sensitivity along the edge only, keeping sensitivity on the center
Use case: I need something that allows me to hold the tablet a bit more firmly, in one hand, which means putting my thumb in the screen just a bit.

I can add the feature to block edges only, but there is an app called grip it which does just that.
And yes, I should probably use the icon for the status + maybe done kind of animation to tell you when toy unlock vs lock the screen.

hatcyl,
This is a great idea! If only I could get it to work.
After it installs, I can't open it. The screen blinks when I click on the icon, then.... nothing. According to my file manager, the app is running, but I can't access it.
I have the exact same problem with Screen Tools 2.
I tried to uninstall, reboot and reinstall, but it still won't work.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus on ICS.
I'd really like to get this working. Any ideas?

How can I make this work on Galaxy S2? Original 2.3.4 Rom
I have no camera and search button. Where are the settings?
I have installed it, but when I press on it, nothing!
Please help! I need this application!
After buying hardware key support, on my Galaxy S2 the home (and power) bottons still work... even with No Touch active, ofc. Otherwise no problems on my device, also on 2.3.4 ^^.
Also, I absolutly need a popup window on trying to unblock, for inputing a code to unlock, optionaly and maybe only on the payed for version . It is way too easy for my 2 and 4 year olds to unlock otherwise.
Also, I agree, change the color on button when unlocking/locking No Touch.
I would like to be able to choose which tiles on the homescreen to lock. That would be just perfect.
Just tried it and it works nice. I just have one question before I upgrade. If I block the hardware buttons will I skill be able to unlock using a long press of the search key?
is there any chance to make this app lock the screen with long press home button? that would be universal for all android phones. no camera button in my s2. and also so the phone will not respond to any other buttons (ie power button)

+1 for the long press home button to unlock idea! I guess my kids wouldn't figure that out too fast (Instead of "a popup window on trying to unblock")
Hello!
For those who can not remove the Search Bar from the Home Screen, I found a way to do it.
This is for CyanogenMod 11, KitKat 4.4.3 Build 14/06/2014:
On the Home Screen, you press and hold the screen, untill the "wallpapers/widgets/themes" options come out.
When that happens, press the three dots that look like an arrow, it will open another menu with lots of options to change.
There, the first option you can change is the Search Bar, turn it off. Press the three dots again to minimize the menu, hit back and that's it.
Hope this helped.
This is actually pretty helpful. As I never knew there was extra features like these on the new Trebuchet launcher.
Nice find!

Yes, I found it by mistake, and didn't know how to get to that place again... But once I did, I wanted to share this with everyone.
Now we don't need to change the Trebuchet launcher to get rid of that. Even though it's bugged... When getting the "trebuchet has stopped" error (when adding a widget on the home screen), I just reboot the phone, and it's working again. Although even this sucks...
But at least I'm happy I found how to get rid of that annoying search bar.

I'm having the same issue. I just installed Cyanogenmod on my phone and when I was customizing the home screen, I saw exactly what the OP shows in his screenshots. However, after installing Google Apps, that screen has changed. It only shows the Wallpapers, Widgets and Settings buttons, and no button to expand settings. Pressing the menu button doesn't do anything either. In both cases I was using the default Android theme.
Cyanogenmod version 12.1. Android version 5.1.1

This is simple trick and worked .Thanks

Same question; Moto g4 stock. Do I really need to install a launcher or ROM to get rid of a single UI feature?
I have an Alcatel Pixi Unite 4G running Android Marshmallow 6.0 with no root access. "Ok Google" works perfectly from any screen, but holding the home button to bring up screen search only launches the Google app. I have dug through all the settings I can, but it still won't work.
2 screen shots attached, one of the settings screen showing that screen search is enabled, one showing the screen opened when trying to use screen search.

Apologies, but what exactly do you mean? Searching with my voice workd as it should, but screen search (aka Google now on tap) just doesn't work.
Also, sorry for the late reply, I was at work, and will be going to bed soon, so it may be another little while before I get back to here. ?
Hi,
I am trying to remove the search bar at the top of my screen but for whatever reason it doesn't give me any options anywhere to do so. I don't have google installed. The search bar does nothing when I touch it. I can't move it around and long pressing the home screen in to the settings doesn't give me any checkbox to remove it from the screen. Very annoying and I just want it gone to at least use the space for something else.
Thank you
I have the same problem

I apologize for not closing this! It was fixed in a later build couple months back. No more issues. Thank you.
