You want to got rid of this lock screen?
Using Activity Launcher:
1. Install Activity Launcher from Google Play or APKPure
2. Open Activity Launcher
3. Scroll down, select Settings and find the activity Settings$ScreenLockSuggestionActivity
4. If in lock screen settings, select None
Or if didn't find, try another way:
Disable via ADB:
1. Enable ADB in developer options
2. Connection your Fire tablet to your PC
3. Enter this command
Code:
adb shell
settings put secure lockscreen_disabled 1
4. Reboot
Code:
adb reboot

Disabling it via adb didn't work for me on Fire HD 10 2019.
Setting Keyguard to off in Tasker works for about a day. Running the task on device boot, you may need to wait a few seconds, and then running it every few hours should keep it off.

That did the trick, tried the adb thing before but it didn't work.

activity launcher helped me to get rid of the lockscreen. Unfortunately, I tried the ADB command before, this did not work and either disabled the activity entry. So i had to revert the ADB command with value 0. But anyway, thx a lot for the hlp here in the forum.

For what it's worth, this is a copy & paste which is my solution for non-rooted devices:
I use the Gravity Screen app on a non-rooted Fire HD10 (2019) which uses motion to unlock/ wake up the device which you can get here.
I have the app set up to "Turn Screen ON by Motion" and under it's "Special Settings", I have "Disable Lock Screen" checked:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

What worked for me on my 8th gen HD 8 was:
Step 1: Disable screen unlock in the official system settings:
Step 2: Run this:
Code:
adb shell locksettings set-disabled true
I got some error messages from locksettings once when I was trying this. If that happens to you, try this more elaborate version:
Code:
adb shell
settings put global LOCKSCREEN_AD_ENABLED 0
settings put secure lockscreen.disabled 1
locksettings clear
locksettings set-disabled true
exit
Interestingly, after a reboot LOCKSCREEN_AD_ENABLED goes back to 1 and lockscreen.disabled goes back to 0, but the lockscreen stays disabled.

This will work until amazon sends another update that breaks root if on stock rom. After, you'll have to do these steps again after re rooting.

This shouldn't be in development, it should go in general.
For some reason I'm not able to get to the data/data/com.android.settings/files point. It should be easy to get to, but it's not.
I'll keep looking. I'm fairly new to all of this.
I found this in another thread...
1- browse to "/data/data/com.android.settings/files"
2- change "wallpaper" permissions to be writable
(in ES file explorer: if the directory is empty make sure you checked "root explorer" and "mount file system" in the settings)
Unfortunately it would not allow me to make these changes.
This is my guide for changing and keeping wallpapers on rooted stock with any launcher...
Step 1: change your wallpaper to what you want it to be.
Step 2: hurry to your computer (without turning your fire off).
Step 3: connect your fire to your PC.
Step 4: go into KFU and go into extras, then choose lock wallpaper.
Step 5: you are done! Good luck.
Is "KFU" Kindle Fire Updates? If it is, I don't even have an "extras" folder.
KFU is Kindle Fire Utility, you can download it in the development thread of this forum

Temporary insanity. I knew that.

Retail Demo Mode - RDM

I was contacted by a user who discovered a 'secret code' that applies to the FireOS search bar (Unified Search). When you type it into the search bar, you enter retail demo mode.
Code:
;demo
There are several major problems with this once you enter it. One: you can't get out. You can resell the device when you're done, but one of two things happen: On the fire 7: it powers off your device, reboots it and erases it. Then it reboots...into a logo loop. Fire HD 10: When you resell, your screen is blocked by an amazon logo overlay. It just sits there. You can reboot and the overlay remains. You can't disable it through ADB on either of them it doesn't do you any good, because you stay in demo mode. I forgot to mention the countless demo apps it tries to download. This code also worked on the HD 8, but I didn't go past the splash screen. Only way out is a factory reset via recovery.
I got a screen cap of the debugging menu. There is an application version have never seen before. Is this the retail mode application version? If not, what is it? No the device is not registered.
Code:
1.1.906.0-tablet_424010

Yes I think it is the retail demo application (see attached)
In the secure settings table, there is a setting called retail_demo_mode. I once changed the value to 1. The tablet itself worked fine, but most of the settings were missing and all of the app icons on the home screen reset to alphabetical order. All I did to reverse this was go back into Settings Database Editor and change the value to 0. No problems after that, other than my neatly organized apps that got rearranged.

[ROOT] Enable ALL Lock Screen Lock Options

I have been trying to find a way to reactivate the full options for the lock screen. There is a way to do it with root access, by editing the settings menu...I just haven't found a way to do it yet. With that said, I have found an Activity Launcher that runs with ROOT access and have also installed it into /system/priv-app. In doing so I have been able to find the settings to enable ALL the lock screen lock options. In addition to the PIN number and SLIDE to lock methods, you also get to:
- Enable lock pattern
- Enable lock password
- Disable lock screen
In order to activate these options, you have to be rooted. However, these are items I believe reside somewhere on the Secure Settings level (system, secure or global). Amazon just does a good job of hiding these settings and the launcher application is the only one I have found that is able to access these options. If you don't have root access, you can still visually see the settings fragment. I do believe this feature can be enabled without having a rooted tablet. If the right fragments can be found, the activity could possibly be launched via ADB or ADB shell. It's also possible another activity and intent type launcher can perform these actions.
1. Download, install and open 'Activity Runner' from the play store.
2. Scroll the list until you see 'Settings' and tap on it. Scroll down the list further, until you see the SECOND 'Unlock Selection' item. It will be in listed as red and the fragment/activity/intent below it will say '.ChooseLockGeneric$InternalActivity'. Tap it.
3. Profit!! :highfive::good::victory: These tablets are so much fun to 'hack.' Thanks again for following everyone! :highfive:

Do you know what the ADB command is?

Not yet. This launcher won't tell me the fragment so without that I can't tell what the intent is aka android:action. I'm going to have to search the source code for this one.

Just ran the unlock method on my 5th gen, installed the revamped Fire OS rom and Magisk. Now trying to remove the lock screen. Got Activity Manager from the above link but cannot find the option for the lock screen (other than the pin/password) and do not see "Unlock Selection". Any ideas? Is it maybe under a different category on this OS?
Thanks for this!

[MOD] Enable/Disable Gesture Line | Hidden Settings | No Root

Enable/Disable Gesture Line
I found a hidden setting to enable/disable the "gesture line" which is shown in the bottom of the screen when using screen gesture mode instead of navigation bar.
Tested on latest Xiaomi.eu v12.1.2 stable firmware (Android R) but I think it may work in other MIUI firmware versions, maybe in other MIUI devices too.
Requirements
Properly installed ADB/USB/Fastboot drivers on PC
Enabled USB debugging on phone
How to
Open any command or terminal window, and use below commands:
Disable
Code:
adb -d shell settings put global hide_gesture_line 1
Enable
Code:
adb -d shell settings put global hide_gesture_line 0
Screenshots
Enabled

This is because of the Launcher. Xiaomi decided to build this feature within the Launcher. Now since you can't install the xiaomi launcher by apk on stock rom, this feature isn't available. Unless you install weekly or beta xiaomi.eu
Doesn't this setting is here: Settings > Additional Settings > Full screen display > Hide full screen indicator?

[TIP] How to Enable 2 Button Navigation on the OnePlus 8 (no root)

Presumably this also works on the OnePlus 8 Pro. Here's hoping it also works on Oxygen OS 11.
If you search under Apps and Notifications, you may notice that the OnePlus 8 still has a hidden "2 Button Navigation" App installed. That's because it's still capable of using it, even though there's no option to do so in Settings. You can enable and disable it using adb commands.
You must enable Developer options to access adb commands (Tap build number in About Phone until it tells you that you are a developer. Go to Developer options and enable "USB debugging").
If you are on Windows, download the minimal adb fastboot zip here, then extract it to its own folder and click cmd-here.exe to use adb commands.
Plug your phone into your computer. Type "adb devices". Make sure only one device appears (your phone should be the only android device plugged in . If your device appears, check your phone to see if its asking permission to use debugging over usb, then grant it.
The following command will enable the 2 Button Navigation Bar:
adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.twobutton
To disable the 2 Button Navigation Bar:
adb shell cmd overlay disable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.twobutton
It's as simple as that. :good:
Swiping up from the Home button brings up Recents, and tapping the Home button goes Home, like it should.
If you are using a third party launcher, you may have to swipe up and hold to get Recents to appear while you are on your Homescreen or App drawer.

}
If Oxygen OS 11 still has this hidden app, then these commands should still work after updating. I would also disable 2 Button Navigation before upgrading to Oxygen OS 11 from 10, just in case. You can enable it afterwards as long as it still exists.
Does it work for Realme/color OS too
