[Q] Any way to remove "Swipe to Unlock" text from lockscreen? - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried Screen Tweaks, which removes only the camera icon, Clean Lockscreen removes carrier logo, but Swipe to Unlock is persistent.
Can anyone point me in the direction of something to remove this (rooted D6616)?
I found this, but it doesn't seem to work on my Z3:

Edit: Got it done...kind of. See 2nd post, keep getting these strange black bars that nobody seems to have in that thread.

Edit update: I copied the modded keyguard.apk again, removed the text, and installed xBlast tools to make the status and navigation bars transparent. Now, if I'm on my home screen or somewhere the bars are transparent and lock and unlock, the bars are gone. If I lock from anywhere else, the bars are still there.
So now I guess I'm looking at a way to make them transparent on the lockscreen permanently

Bump...just tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/themes-apps/mod-remove-text-lock-screen-t3028443
And it works...sorta. It takes away the text finally, but I have these black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, here's a screenshot:

I've already tried re-applying the wallpaper and applying a different wallpaper with no luck. Does anybody know what could be causing this?

Yes. Upgrade to Lollipop.
There is no text in lock screen.

Would be nice, but I can't as I'm on T-Mobile's D6616 variant. No Lollipop yet and no unlockable bootloader.

Yup, apparently it could be months away. I'm not too sad, as KK with root is everything I could want. Just wish I could get that annoying text to go away properly.

Well I found a method that works, but it adds black bars on the bottom where the nav bar would be, and turns the status bar into solid black.

yes there is, but you have to touch the lock screen to see the text, this is on the latest german .62 build

Maybe.
I am talking about non branded builds.
But anyway it does not matter.
Some people are bothered by the text, I myself...don' t care.

I really don't think this is hopeless...as you can see, I have succeeded in removing the text, but something is incompatible and causing black bars to appear as if I just initiated the notification drawer. I posted a screenshot in the OP. If I knew how to modify the APK myself, I would but I can't seem to find many resources on that.

Hopeful bump! Also update, I copied the modded keyguard.apk again, removed the text, and installed xBlast tools to make the status and navigation bars transparent. Now, if I'm on my home screen or somewhere the bars are transparent and lock and unlock, the bars are gone. If I lock from anywhere else, the bars are still there.

You just rotate swipe the icon instead of just swipe across the screen.
Interesting, I may just give this a shot!
hmmm... Tried that repeatedly with Evo-Sensless and couldn't get it working.

Same but only the black background stuck..i tried getting rid of the arrows and then changing to a custom background and no go. it did actually change to a background once but not even close to the one I picked.
I know he mentions the app that mods the themes doesnt always make the changes or something the first time through so maybe the issue is with how the theme is implemented..
I got the black background one to finally stick so I saved it like that! lol

[Q] Cyanogen OS 12 lock screen?

So updated today and I don't like the looks of the new lock screen. It's totally transparent. Can anyone pull the lock screen of the CM12 NIGHTLIES to replace it?
Me too. Can't seem to change the default lock screen... Weird... Any solutions?

Go to 'settings'>'themes' and click on the spanner icon and scroll down, you should be able to set the lockscreen wallpaper.

Thanks. I did just that, but after I chose a new image it did not show on the lock screen. The default image
stays forever, no matter which image you choose. I guess it's some kind of bug... Or maybe I'm doing
something wrong?

Once you selected the image/photo did you hit back, then tap the 'tick' button to apply the change?

No worries, it confused me at first, think it could be simplified so that the tick button appears once you have made a change so you can confirm. It only appears once (if!) you hit back.

What about a live wallpaper?
Edit: I tried None, Pick Image and System... but none takes (or let me choose) my default "3D Parallax Wheather" wallpaper. CM12 Nightlies do this by default. I guessed System take the system wallpaper, but unfortunately it doesn't. Maybe it's a bug which needs to be fixed.

Anyone found a way to get the CM nightly lockscreen to replace the COS12 one?
I think I saw somebody write somewhere that the Lockscreen is in the SystemUI, but unfortunately these are not exchangable between CM12 and Cyanogen OS12, so someone has to modify the CM12 nightly one, to be compatible with Cyanogen OS12.

[Discussion] CM 12 on LG V10, G4 got CM12

Right now, I have a note 5 and seriously considering buying the LG V10 after seeing the promo of the 200 GB SD card.
I am not a developer myself, but do you foresee the V10 getting cm12 since the G4 is getting it. Specs are pretty close (except the second screen of course). I like the option to go on stock android once in a while without breaking the budget with 2 or 3 phones.

One can only hope. The biggest hurdle is going to be the second screen. If they can find a way to either disable or find a way utilize the screen that would be awesome too

yeah, i am debating getting the v10 from the note 5, not crazy about the pen. only if tmobile has the nexus 6.
Dang, I can't screenshot this as the second screen doesn't appear on the screenshot, but When I swipe up from the status bar while on the home screen it moves the status bar to the second display.
I can see CM 12 or any ROM go this route and I like it! I'll see if i can take a picture with another device.

I am on Nova. I can see CM 12 be like so.
Nova did this for me as well once I chose to hide the status bar. I would love to have my status bar up there permanently.
Doesn't work for me either, using nova.

What version of the v10 are you using? I tried nova and his my status bar but unable to Reigate still. Mostly just curious at this point.
Ok I think I got this. Seems to be repeatable. First off T-Mobile V10, unlocked, rooted, all xposed modules disabled for testing purposes. Hide status bar in nova launcher, the go to phone settings > Display > Home touch buttons > hide home touch buttons > select nova launcher. Your second display will go blank when you are at the launcher screen. No shortcuts, no sig, nothing, tap on it, it should show your status bar for a second or two. When you open an app it'll revert to showing whatever pages you have active.
Really hope CM can utilize the second screen! unused hardware just taking up space on my phone doesn't sound attractive

Same here man. Just got the V10 coming from the Note 5. I liked the Note 5 but didn't love it because there is no hope at all for any CM. Looks like we can get a CM once things pick up.

Ah, ok. This works on anything that hides the home buttons. Just tested with Smart Launcher and it works as well. Also in Play Books the status bar will move to the second screen when tapped. Stays on for a second or two and then fades out.
So, I got CM12 to compile and put me into a boot loop!
Step one done.
Step two: Free my schedule so I can start working on CM12 for the V10.
If any dev has started a Git repo for anything V10 CM12 related, shoot me a message so I could get in on it.

After sleep deprived splashing things together and going through freezing on the splash screen, it got to the splash screen then rebooted itself multiple times.
I consider that a positive incremental step in the wrong direction.
Most of my work is just mirroring the h811 cyanogenmod work and adjusting all relevant settings to the h901.
It is probably not the way to go, but I'm a little crunched on time between work and work.

I get to the splash and then thrown into fastboot mode and stuck there. H901 kernel source is posted, I think that's gonna be the difference. The devices are so similar. I wish I knew more about kernel stuff

You can take a look at the official list of Google Material Icons. If it's not listed it's a 3rd party icon meaning that it's either some app in your system or something your service provider installed.

Nope, have not figured it out. Since my phone crashed half a dozen times, I've decided to switch back to stock rom.
This is another thread about this icon: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...ps/mod-remove-rcs-service-volte-icon-t3362336
Hope it helps.
Thanks man, that's the one. Apparently it's like a super mms service

Question Pixel 7 Pro Notifications?

Can someone walk me through this? Totally new to Pixel phones. Been using LG for the last 10 years.
I have Nova Launcher installed and it seems to be working properly with no issues.
I'm getting written notifications on my lock screen whenever a YouTube channel I'm subscribed to posts a new video. I don't want that. (This is happening on most of my apps)
In the past with the LG, i'd just get a tiny colored bubble with a number on the app's icon on my home screen. That's what I'm trying to accomplish with the P7P. Is there a way to get the phone to do this?

I've tried that on the lock screen, and it takes me to a page asking me if I want to unsubscribe from notifications from that YouTube channel. Is this correct? I do still want to get a bubble on the app's icon on my home screen letting me know I have unseen content.

Hmm, I don't think so. Have you tried it once you've unlocked the lock screen? Please see screenshot.
Didn't make a difference.
If "notifications “ are turned off, will I still get the little dot on the app icon?
Ok, I may have an idea.
In the notifications settings area....
Pic below, set hide silent notifications from the lock screen. Then long press the notification in the status bar and set them to silent.
They will still show in your status bar and app icon.
Downside to my plan is if you have, for example, text messages set to silent they will no longer show on lock screen if you want that.

Yes, at the bottom of the list of notications, there is an option to have the dot separately.
