I want vanilla android lock screen. Widget locker сant remove it completely and can't skip it on reboot. It also works sometimes very strangely and slowly!
That's odd. I purchased Widget Locker and it works fine on my GS2. I no longer see Samsung's lockscreen after reboot or standby. And I've no issues with the behavior and performance of it either.
Perhaps check your WidgetLocker settings.
Did you enable "Appear on boot"?

Yes, it doesn't help. I've tried every setting possible to set. Also middle button works terrible! I need to press it many time before it starts working. Besides middle button turns off lock screen, but I don't want it and I don't know how to disable this.
Anyway, why I need to use it? I just want to use only ONE standart lockscreen. Without any unnecessary soft in memory.
I'm using WidgetLocker and i got no problem, it completely replaced the default lockscreen. Just use easy wake wake mode and appear on boot and samsung's default lockscreen will be replaced.
How to disable unlocking by pressing a middle button?

No, it's not! If you quickly press power button than try to unlock screen - you will see a samsung lockscreen for a second. Samsung lockscreen and widget locker just working in same time.
Have you disabled Samsung's lockscreen ? I don't have my SGS2 yet but on my current Android phone I can completely disable existing lockscreen.

Sorry, mine works perfectly. Can't see any trace of samsung lockscreen, nor when i unlock, neither in applications running. I also disabled it from WidgetLocker settings, so there's no way it can run or appear.
Ok, let it show for a second, this is not a big problem. Told me - how to disable unlocking by pressing middle button???
In samsung default lockscreen (or any default lockscreen on android device) i press power or middle button - and screen show on. In widget locker I press middle button (power button works here ok) and waiting from 2 to 5 seconds before screen go on. This problem is only with my device?

Yes, in widget locker settings
I was having similar issues and enabled easy wake mode as a previous poster said-now spot on. There are a lot of settings to get right i must admit

My home button doesn't unlock the device, it just wakes it. In button actions i just cleared every button and only allowed volume buttons. I'm talking about WidgetLocker, not default samsung lockscreen.
Found setting in widget locker to disable middle button unlock phone, but slow home button is still here.

Hi,
I'm using [17.02.2012[MAGLDR][SD] IceCreamTostidroid v7.0] build.
But I've got a problem with the hardware Home-Button.
Everytime I press it, the screen turned off.
Does anyone know how I change the acton of the Home-Button?
Regards
It's right!..It's to enable the Torch function!
Try to long-press Home Button while screen is off!
And if you want to change this behavior search in his thread!
I've been looking around for options to avoid using the physical power button to turn my N6 on or off. The double-tap-to-wake functionality has been documented elsewhere (here, for instance), though I've found it harder to implement a gesture to turn off the screen. I finally happened upon using the "input keyevent" shell command. This is different (in a better way) from using a Device Administrator app that locks your screen; the input keyevent command exactly duplicates the power button behavior and so will obey your settings for when to actually lock the phone (as opposed to just turning the screen off). If you have root and Tasker, it turns out that all of this is easy to do; both the double-tap-to-wake and gesture-to-sleep actions don't require stand-alone apps to implement.
Requirements:
Root access
Tasker
A custom launcher (like Nova) that allows you to implement gesture shortcuts
For double-tap-to-wake, create a Tasker task (I call it "DTTW") that has one step: Run Shell (under "Code"), where the Command is echo 'AUTO' > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/1-004a/tsp Check the "Use Root" option.
For gesture-to-sleep, create a Tasker task (I call it "Turn Off") that has one step: Run Shell (again, under "Code"), where the Command is input keyevent 26 Again, check the "Use Root" option. You may have to choose an icon to link the task to a launcher gesture.
Now, to implement double-tap-to-wake, run the DTTW task, and you're done. It will reset (i.e., double-tap-to-wake will no longer work) when you reboot, so you can set a profile to have Tasker run the DTTW task on Device Boot (this is an Event, under "System").
To implement gesture-to-sleep, use your launcher to choose a gesture that launches the Turn Off task. Using the Nova launcher, I started Nova Settings --> Gestures and Buttons --> Swipe up Two fingers (the gesture I chose) --> Shortcuts --> Task Shortcut --> choose the Turn Off task. Now, whenever I swipe up with two fingers on my home screen, the screen goes off.
Done! Easy! Free!

But I believe that locks your phone. I just want to turn off the screen, as if I'm pressing the power button.

no. it just turns your screen off, just like pressing the power button. if you have a password set, itll lock the device, just like using the power button.

Are you sure? If I have a PIN set, with my phone set to lock 10 minutes after screen off, you're saying that the lock screen widget will turn off my phone but not lock it (for 10 minutes)? I think it locks it immediately.

itll behave the same way as pressing the power button to turn off the screen.
yup, I use it and it is the same thing as turning your phone off with the power button.

Well, I have nothing against Lock Screen Widget, but when I installed it and used it, it immediately made me enter a PIN to unlock my phone, even though this wouldn't happen for 10 minutes after pressing the power button.
Just wanted to say thank you for this. I have a smart watch and use that smart lock feature where if my watch is connected my screen won't lock.
All the lock screen apps in the play store lock my screen regardless if my watch is connect. But your method with tasker works perfectly thank you so much.

I keep trying to do a print screen by pressing the rear power button and volume down but its very difficult as most times the volume just goes down. never had such an issue with the g4 I had
another thing is double tapping and going in through the draw password.
when double tap the screen it doesnt give you the option to draw the password. I have to swipe first then I can draw the password which is a pita. any way to enable a double tap to go straight to draw password option? why dont this people test these things?
how the hell do I disable google assistant crap "ok google" ?
1. easiest to do the screenshot with the VOL- button just before power.
2. No.
3. not sure as i like assisstant.
@rocketman1 I keep trying to do a print screen by pressing the rear power button and volume down but its very difficult as most times the volume just goes down. never had such an issue with the g4 I had
This one can be easier, you can use the quick memo ( Aka Capture + Plus )options and it will take screenshots for you, as i believe holding Vol down will do the quick memo screen shot if its on in the settings under ( Shortcut Keys)

This is to keep your code from accidentally being put in during pocked use if it turns on. I dont believe it can be shut off without some bigger edits to systemui

disable the google app from your app settings.

Or just disable the Google Assistant, if you prefer:
Here's how to disable Google Assistant:
1. Open Google app
2. Tap on Menu (three lines) on top left
3. Tap Settings
4. Under Google Assistant, tap Settings
5. Scroll halfway down the menu, and voila! A toggle to turn the Assistant off.
2. Funny, coming from the G3 I had similar questions. Not sure I need to swipe before entering knock code. Worked fine without on the G3. At least you can knock directly with the screen off, bypassing this, but sometimes I turn on my screen to see the notifications and the extra swipe is an annoyance.
3. Unfortunately if you disable it in the settings, then you lose the "Ok Google" from Google Now. Instead it just prompts you to turn Google Assistant back on. Similarly, if you turn on Google Assistant but don't give it Web & App Activity + Device Information data (which is every app switch you do, every movement of your phone or touch of the screen), then it takes your question but then just *****es at you.
Only workaround I've found for now (probably won't last forever) is to set your keyboard language to English US Virgin Islands, a region where Google Assistant is not yet supported. You might need the root app Language Enabler or some other method to enable that language. Hopefully someone finds a better resolution.
Been unable to take screenshots in anyway whatsoever. So videos on how to do it, but the three finger swipe up doesnt work. neither does the swipe down for split screening. Have even tried updating to the november sec update fota, no help.
Cant find a workaround screenshot option either. Anyone having these issues? is mine a lemon? please help..
For taking a screenshot Hold down power button and volume down button together for a few seconds. And for split screen, open any app in you want to open in Splitwise screen and then press and hold the square shaped button on the navigation bar for a few seconds.
Thanks a lot, that helped, this is my first android phone. Any idea why the gestures dont work? Seems to work fine for others in the videos..

There are only 2 gestures as of now double tap to wake and double tap to sleep. Other gestures may be enabled in future via updates as they are available in M1.
For screenshot use Google assistant, on any screen long press home button. It will show an option to share screenshot.
Triple tap to magnify
Just realised that the “triple tap to magnify” option which is there in the accessibility settings doesnt seem to work either.. is there a multi touch sensing issue at play here?
edit: sorry my bad. i took triple tap to be akin to the ios gesture which is a three finger simultap. its a single finger triple here.
