Lockscreen Background Dim - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6

I have noticed after my latest factory reset that my lockscreen wallpaper is much dimmer than it was before. Has anyone else noticed something similar? Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?

In case anyone else has this issue, I found a fix to the problem over at Android Central from user Cajun_Fan:

When you got it, in the Lock screen and security. If you had Swipe set as the screen lock type, did you set Unlock effect to none?
If you did, change it to one of the 2 choices and then try to go to the unlock screen. You should see your pic come up just like the pre-installed lock screen wallpapers. Then if you change the screen lock type to something else like Pin or fingerprint or any choice, it should show your pic bright, as long as you leave the unlock effect to either water droplet or sparkling bubbles.
I think it is a bug with using none on the unlock effect, that carries over to any mode of unlocking.

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?

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] Any way to disable lock screen tint with fingerprint unlock?

Hello,
I want to set my lockscreen wallpaper to a pure black one, but when I do, it is not actually black. I have read others on androidcentral having the same problems but have yet to find a solution.
Please see attached screenshot for the issue I am having. Note that the wallpaper used in that screenshot is 100% pure black, but appears grey.
If I change the screen lock to "swipe", it is pure black, but I prefer to have the security of the fingerprint...
My device IS ROOTED and I have xposed/custom ROM installed, and I am sure there must be a config file or something that I could modify to remove this tinting that is occurring. If anyone could help me out that would be awesome.
Thanks.
i have the same question,did you manage to solve this issue? thx
Hey Guys, I have a solution if your have xposed installed, look for a module called bright lock screen... fixes it perfectly!

Lock Screen/AOD Wallpaper

I'd really like to be able to keep my lock screen on at all times or be able to put a nice looking wallpaper on my AOD screen. All I've found are some black wallpapers with a few small pictures for the AOD screen. Does anyone know how to change this or if there's a way to keep the lock screen on without using the AOD feature?

Through the system itself, it's only possible to do that while the phone is charging, go to the developer options and switch "Stay awake" on, otherwise, there might be some 3rd party app that does what you want.

Question Disable lock screen?

Sorry if this has already been covered, but it there a way to flip the phone open and have it go directly to the last opened app / home screen while still keeping fingerprints enabled? I understand that the screen lock type can be set to "none" but this also makes me erase my fingerprints / pin. I don't need lock screen security but would like to keep fingerprint authentication for other apps. I tried to change screen lock type to none and then setup my fingerprint within Samsung pay but this just re-enabled the lock screen.
Thanks in advance.
Have a look at "autoinput" on playstore.
