(Question) How to delete original lockscreen?

I just tried the latest version of Lockbot.
Again, they did not solved for us the issue about double lockscreen.
Your original lockscreen will appear first. than theirs....so...annoying as hell
I recently rooted my x10 and with titanium backup I deleted moxier and some foreign keyboards. But I can't find where they placed the original lockscreen program.
I think when you delete it from the system and install Lockbot the problem will be solved? Or is this a wrong way of thinking from me?
Does anyone knows where in the device they hide the lockscreen programm?
Cheers,
Arnold

I don't know of a way to delete it, there is an app in the market called no lock or something similar?!

It is CRAZY that you can't have just the "secure" lock, but have to do the "simple" lock THEN the "secure lock". Turning off the "secure" lock is no good, I want that protection!
Does anyone know if this has been sorted in future Android versions? Or is it just for the x10? I'm a relative newbie to all this.

there is a pay app called "goto". you can check "replace the original screenlock" to remove it. unfortunately, the built-in screenlock comes back from time to time.

Thank you for answering.
After I installed the latest lockbot version AND RESTARTED my phone it is working well for the first time after 300 versions of Lockbot
BUT, they made it so well you never see the original lockscreen back. You might think " THATS GREAT!"
Yes, but when you put your phone in airplane mode and put it back to normal mode, you won't able to login anymore as you don't see the original lockscreen. So you have to restart your phone before it works again. That might answer my own question....IF you are able to delete the lockscreen from your phone totally I think you are screwed as you need it to login your phone with your password.
So Lockbot improved a lot, and works great as long as you don't put your phone in airplane mode and switch it back to normal mode. That requires a reboot. I tested this new version of Lockbot for a day intensively and further on it works great and I did not see the original lockscreen anymore.
I will test it for another few days and when it is still working fine I will buy it.

Arnold

Hmm, i have buy pro version 1.15.2 and i have still dual lock screen problem

Did you restart?
I just read the only bug is when you hit the menu button when its locked, than the double will appear. I tested that and its true. But after re boot its working great again. Or go to settings in lockbot and uncheck and check again the option to replace original lockscreen
It can t be working for me only I guess, my phone is rooted but I don't think that make a difference...
Sent from my rooted x10i using tapatalk. Cheers, Arnold

now it works, I should just disable "No Lock" apps ...BTW my X10i is also rooted ...

Great, I thought I gave wrong advice...

Don't know what a velocity rom is, but sounds like you either uninstalled your launcher or it is corrupt. Are you rooted? That's the only way I know that you could have uninstalled it. Here's what you can do to recover regardless. Go to play market from your computer, sign in with your assosiated account to the device and find a home launcher you like. I've used launcher pro and go launcher ex on the flipside. Send your choice to your phone. Then when you unlock the phone, press the home key and you should be given the choice to use the new launcher. Should fix, but you'll have to do some customizing.

it was rooted however i dont think it is now because i tryed to do the master reset when it first happened. will this still work without being rooted?

Should still work. Doesn't hurt to try.
You can use this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582 to root again. Just did it on mine and worked perfect. Credit to DooMLord.

well unfortunetly i cannot remember the account i made with the phone so i dont tihnk the file is getting to the phone. is there another way to get the launcher into the phone?

Not without being able to access the home screen. If you can't remember the google account associated with the phone, sounds like only option is to reflash with the stock sbf. You will lose all data on the phone but not the sd card. The files needed are in the development section.

i did it. i did another master reset resetup the emails form the beginning still had issues messed with the phone got the voice commands to open and told it to open the market by voice command and downloaded it from the phone. its working again now.

One-handed operation (Use for all screens) not working

Hi,
My Use for all screens stopped working. Anyone experience this or know how to fix it? It's checked in the One-handed operation option.
Thanks.

I haven't been able to get mine to work period. I have disabled and enabled the feature multiple time and I just can't get it to work.....

Use it all the time. Might be an issue with a specific version of the phone or if you have modified it somehow.

I tried when my phone was completely stock. Prior to even changing out the launcher. Humph.... I may have to go talk to verizon.

I have the T-Mobile version and it worked in the beginning, but now I can't get it to work
A shame since I was just getting used to it and how to gesture it on and off.
This seems to be a Samsung issue rather than a carrier fault.
(mine is unlocked and in use on AT&T)
Would it be advisable to contact Samsung directly?

Go to Settings>Device>Accessibility, and check under "Services". Having apps turned on there can break the one-handed function.
I have NiLS for lockscreen notifications, but it seems to run fine even when the service permission is turned off.

Bingo! Thank You barnabydog!
The good news: It worked! I turned off the offending app and I'm back in business!
The bad news: The offending app was Pebble (smartwatch)
A feature that is more useful to me than the one handed mode . . .
So then is this the sad state of affairs? I have to choose between my Mini-screen mode and my smart watch?
How did you know about this barnabydog?
is there another thread that discusses this issue?

Yes, but I was too lazy to search for it.

I installed it yesterday to give it a go. Really nice clean interface, im liking it a lot.
Some benefits.
Simple interface, clean...Shows speed and time and shortcuts to some apps (I only use music, digital radio and spotify so this is perfect for me)
Installs as an App and you can start it from shortcut, once happy you can have it start automatically on boot as your default launcher.
Has in built screen dimming which works (All other auto dimmers have never worked for me)
3 different launcher themes, im using the one in the photo.
Easy to remove if not happy

Does it work with your hard buttons?

Yes all hard buttons function the same, Back exits apps and Home takes you back to desktop.
Really its just a choice of 3 new launchers in an App rather than playing around with system files

This looks really clean!

I gave it a shot on mine. Looks really nice. I wish the app buttons were a bit larger though. Looks much more like a OEM type interface.

Ye thats what i thought, looks similar to WinCE radio launchers
One thing i found to be a pain was that android by default, launches apps you had previously running (Which includes this Launcher)
So its already loaded when your device boots up, but as you open up your music, the Self boot of the app kicks in as well and you go back to desktop.
Im sure easy to get over somehow

So you have it set to autoplay off usb? Mine was playing the music as soon as it booted. If you disable the autoplay it doesn't launch the music app on startup.

I have it and love it! Originally downloaded it because it uses power amp as the default music player, I downloaded pro because with pro I can make it as my default home screen launcher. I've been very pleased with the results so far. And I've been running its for about a month.

Does it help with the ridiculous connectivity issues that I experience with AA? (i.e is it more reliable?)

Yes, a 1 device solution is generally always more reliable than a 2 device.

I'm a bit confused by this app. Can someone help please? I bought a car with AndroidAuto built in and I made the assumption (probably wrongly) that this is a replacement launcher for my car dash. But - I'm not sure how to get it to mirror into my vehicle. Do I need AA installed, or do I use Mirror Link? Confused!

Hard Buttons
How did you connect the head unit to your hard button controls?

How to add activity shortcuts to Car Launcher app?

How to deactivate speed in statusbar?

I used the Trial for about 5 minutes before I purchased the full version. This is exactly what I needed Now, Unfortunately im going to have to purchase poweramp i think

Using it for a few weeks now. Very happy with it.

I don't know if you are on MM yet but I noticed that there is a thing under App's (on MM) in settings where you can set what apps draw over e.g.. facebook chat bubbles. I think if you enable your apps that you want notifying you on lock-screen to draw over mode then it may show on lock-screen. Its working so far for my weather updates from google app... I could be entirely wrong and I am using a fairly wonky build of MM but I just thought I would offer my insight Best of luck bud.

I am not on marshmallow as yet waiting for the Ota

I'm sure MM will fix that for you bud!
I do know the struggle, waiting on OTA's for us in New Zealand is painful. On top of the fact that before I went MM I wasn't getting notifications at all, calls missed cause it wasn't bringing the call screen up...all sorts of havoc.
Worst comes to worst you could try factory restore, then do the theme thing that other guy mentioned. You should technically have a default, it's weird you are missing it.
