[HOW-TO] Getting rid of sense lock screen

Hey guys
I didn't make this but stumbled across it and I know its something other people have been looking for.
This will remove the sprint lock screen and give you the lock that slides to the right (vanilla lock).
http://geekfor.me/evo/21/vanilla-lock-fix-for-evo/
They are only guaranteed to work with Fresh Evo 0.1d but I can confirm that it works perfect with DamageContorl 3.1.2
There are several options on the page but I selected option #3 since I use beautiful widgets for my clock.
If anyone knows how to make it a non-transparent background, let me know!
Installation goes as follows (how I did it)
save zip to sd card
boot to recovery
load zip file
done
thanks to flipz and anyone else involved in this fix/project!

It works on Calkulin's too... it does screw up your power options screen (as stated on the site) and it has a transparent background (I personally was not a fan... looks too cluttered). Other than that... works fine.

Using BuglessBeatv0.3
Tried #1, it works terrible.
Instead of left to right, it's up and down.. but it SHOWS UP and if it's left to right.
Trying #2 right now.
Same results.
Trying #3 now.
Going down in order, lol.
Same results again.
Does not work well with Pete's BuglessBeast.

I just use "no lock" in the market.
Screen shuts off, but now, the volume button wakes it (I hate the power button). Goes to whichever screen it was on, when screen powered off.
No lock is free.

i use the security unlock code and its annoying to have to unlock it and then enter code. is there a way to get the lock screen to go away totally and only have the unclock code?

This is what I, ultimately, would like as well. This is how it worked on my Droid, and I really liked that. Unfortunately, I haven't found any methods to get this to work on the Evo yet.

"TAP" To unlock?

Is there an app or a hack that will allow just a "single tap" on the unlock screen to unlock it?
I am currently using NO lock screen (NOLOCK) which works fine but sometimes causes pocket dialing.

You can have the AOSP lockscreen unlock via menu key. Need a ROM with the AOSP lock.

That's a good start, thank you, but due to a physical handicap tapping a 4.5" screen on any spot is much easier than hitting that small spot.

Widget locker can be configured for one press unlock as well

Thanks ... "one press" of a button or one "touch" anywhere on the screen? I emailed the DEV but didn't get a response yet. Last update was many months ago so maybe he abandoned it?

Doubtful....it works flawlessly...i will try and get a screenshot for you. i use the press button unlock on my phones and love it.

I see, so you have to tap the LOCK ICON. That's getting closer to what I need but what I really need is to be able to TAP ANYWHERE on the lockscreen to unlock like my iPhone did. Due to severe rheumatoid arthritis in my hands the larger the target the easier it is to hit the spot which is why I like the larger 4.5" screen.

Sorry, nm...

Maybe I am misunderstanding you. That "LOCK" ICON between the sliders, is that what you use to unlock your screen? If so I can't figure out how to get that. I went through every menu and every ICON and see nothing like it. It's driving me crazy.

I still think your best bet is the no lock screen. Even if you have tap to unlock you'd be just as likely to have a pocket dial, if it's just one extra tap anywhere to unlock...

[APP][Stock only] Glance Notifications
First testing version added... This app is only supported on samsung stock firmwares and devices with AirGesture capabilities
What does it do? It's really basic and simple, just starts QuickGlance every time you receive a notification, I'm planning to add filter options so you can choose which apps you want to exclude / add.

Love this idea!

it's work for all device?

It shows only when you receive a notification, but when you turn the screen on again, it disappears. Anyway to to make it a permanent lock screen or show the glance screen until you dismiss the notification.

one question: does it works on s-view screen??

I've tested the app, It has some problem with the s-view cover. When I open the cover, the glance notification screen remain on top I've to push the home button to made it disappear, and then my phone goes to lock screen. Without glance notification, when i open the s-view cover, the phone unlock itself (if not using a pin) and goes directly to home screen

It's possible You can assign a time to keep alive the notification?

Now have problem. Hangs up the phone. I have to do a forced reboot with the power button.

Screen Off issue

I like to use "screen off" app to turn of my Mate 9 screen. Previously I have no issue with Mate 8.
Now with Mate 9, whenever I turn off the screen with an app, I need to two steps to log in to Home Screen.
1. fingerprint.
2. After fingerprint, I need to key in pin number.
With Mate 8, when I turn off the screen with any app, I did not need to key in pin number to log in. Only 1 step, with finger print.
Anyone out there has any suggestions?

I know about floating dock, but it needs 2 steps to screen off. Screen off app only a stop to get screen off. A lot faster and easier.

I feel you... I've always had screen off app and it's a must have
feature for me... unfortunately since marshmallow update it's a security feature that disables it hence asking for pin.
Surprisingly on my mate 9, it worked flawlessly unlocking only with fingerprint... but after a restart it'd back to pin.
I tried the floating dock but too inconvenient .

Simple on my old phones. But Mate 9 and Nougat is impossible thing. Lock screen widget not working without pin. Bad surprise.... Like double tap which not integrate. Back to roots, back to buttons.

currently only 1 screen off app can function with fingerprint: Double tap to screen off (luuxxxxx developer) by open the clear view function.

I've been using Nova Launcher. If you're rooted it can bypass security needing you to re-enter the pin. On the main settings screen of Nova Launcher if you scroll to the bottom and open the Advanced menu it'll have an option for "Screen lock method" and if you set it to root it will bypass security.

^ Exactly! Cheers

Straight to S8+ lockscreen pattern

Just got the S8+ and I like the AOD but then I want to go to the pin/pattern entry screen to proceed to the desktop. Instead, after the AOD, I get a lock screen that isn't used to unlock because it doesn't display my pattern entry. I have to swipe for that. Just another step.
1. How do I go directly to the pattern lock screen from the AOD? Or no lock screen if the phone isn't locked.
2. Is there a way to show the "Phone is Locked" icon on the AOD? If I see this lock up front, then I won't try to use my fingerprint on a phone that is not locked in the first place.
thx

Hard press the home button on the AOD will take you straight to your desktop, or to the pin/pattern screeen directly after a restart.
If no home button on AOD press where it should be at the bottom of the screen, it's just hidden.
Sorry, can't help with question 2.

Try this setting. "unlock with home button"

That's wonderful. No way to add the lock pattern to the lock screen? Seems silly to call it a lock screen but you have to swipe to unlock.

It's to make the interface look more simple and elegant. Turning on the phone to your lockscren to see a pin or pattern waiting right there covers a lot of your notifications and even wallpaper which is why they added an extra swipe to get to that screen. Makes more sense this way to me honestly but luckily for you u can turn on home button unlock from settings so whenever u press on the home button from always on display it takes u directly to ur lockscren security lol
