[Q] Replacing the lockscreen on 2.1? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since SE gave us another propietary lockscreen with no integration again, is it possible to change it to a more "stock" lockscreen without say, LockPro, which doesn't work 100%?

I've managed to use widget locker lockscreen for mine, and it works great, so theres a very good chance lockpro would work too

Lockbot also works perfectly.

What about GOTO? The latest release fixed much bug releated to the delay of showing up. And hey... it's the most beautiful replacement

I always come up with double lock screens when using Widgetlocker/LockPro with the X10, which isn't helpful at all
Any fix for this?

With 1.6 yes I had this problem but with 2.1 the problem went away...

Happens to me on 2.1 also.....
Possible to replace stock android lock apk over SE one?

Looks good, I paid for a different one called ripple lock which is also nice...... only problem with these is you sometimes get a double lock issue where the main lock screen pops up first they have supposedly found a fix for it in the paid versions, and also some you have to unlock to end a call which is annoying. The double lock still happened to me a few times with ripple lock even after the fix. Would be nice if some bright spark could make the image a complete replacement I.e delete the old lockscreen altogether or explain how to, sadly I'm not that bright spark though.

Well, this is not a replacement, just an lockscreen app.

I can confirm that. I had weird behaviour in general with agile lock and i had to ditch it for Ripplelock which comes from the same developer until they fix those bugs.
Having a sense 3.0 based lock screen though is imba

My phone acted weird too. Good idea, bad coding...
It is because, as I said before, this is not a replacement, but an app. I dont think that is a good idea to use one app as lockscreen, because things can be weird, like phone calls or alarms.
I use Ripple lock(paid) and its great,no probs at all,is has lots of space for customization...recomend
Does any one have problem with unlock animation...after 1.2 update I cant set any animation,I try to reinstall,rebote but nothing. Any one with same problem?
I tried agile and it worked for me .. I'm using CM7 stable and not having any problem at all with the app .. I'm not getting the double lockscreen except when the phone is plugged in to the charger .. customizing the 4 shortcuts is working as well same with changing the background ..

I downloaded the one on the top (XperiaLED rablexModL5 en.apk)
No small widget and no issues with widget.
I think YOU are the problem, not your Arc or any of this programs
yes, you´re right After rebooting my arc everything is fine! Don´t know what was wrong but now it´s perfect!

Well, it is possible of course, but I see no need cause the new version brings nothing useful for us.
In fact I'd suggest they DON'T update as the new version shuts the LED off when the screen turns off, which is stupid and annoying. This version works perfect.
This is running superb on my Arc S and it looks just like the SE on/off widgets.
Does anyone know of a similar widget to toggle auto-sync on/off? SE supply one to toggle data off but that means I can't then manually update.

I used Android Flashlight befor and now I use your mod. Very thanks!
Using it on Ray, this is fantastic. The fact that there was no torch app that looked anything like the stock buttons was driving me mad. This solves the problem.
Thank you!

Sorry, here's a screenshot of the lock screen....
You running stock, or a custom ROM?
It's just a google search widget on lock screen.

I figured out that AccuWeather, which I have installed, has a lock screen you can use and somehow I enabled it. Not sure how, but the lock screen is gone now.
I am running AOKP with Nova Launcher.

[Q] Xperia U Zperience ROM Lockscreen

Sure, I could post there, but since I'm not allowed to do so, I expect that maybe someone who uses this very same ROM knows or understands how to use stock lockscreen or something so that this doesn't happen.
Thank you.

it is a framework problem and you can fix it if you get a alternate framework. At present a fix is there but you will loose all the animations and the great texture
If you need lockscreen back and not the texture then flash Part B of the small apps addon
jatinrungta, thanks for the explanation. I will try that.
Besides that, I am very happy with your ROM, congratulations!
Nevertheless, just to be sure, you do acknowledge that that problem (keypad slightly out of the screen to dial the unlock PIN) does exist? Do you think in a near future you'll be able to fix that?
Thanks

Yes I agree with you that the problem exists and it is a framework problem as I already mentioned
I do not know the answer to your question as it is not my framework
Great that you liked it
Now if your work is done can you please request mods to close this thread
Hi
Did as you said (copied PartB.zip to internal storage and flashed it via CW), now I have rebooted a couple of times and used it, and, although stock "look and feel" has returned and my problem of PIN screen lock is gone (cool), I am seeing the message that appears on the screenshot attached to this post all the time. It causes the UI to restart itself, making the wallpaper go black and status bar to disappear temporarily.
Can you help me with it?

[MOD] Screen Tweaks

Requires Xposed Framework!
Hey guys,
this is the first project I'm sharing on here, so be gentle
After stumbling across the Xposed framework one or two ideas came to mind and I made a module out of them:
Hide the "Swipe to unlock" text from the lock screen on my Xperia Z1c
Enable the CRT off animation
Prevent the screen from turning on when unplugged from the charger
The first two things work nicely on my Xperia Z1c, the third however I could not get to work.
APK and source for the first version are attached.
I don't know if this is of much use for anyone else, but I would be glad if someone could help with the third option.
Update v2:
The third option works now, the new version 2 is attached.
If activated, the screen will not turn on when connected to (or disconnected from) either charger or dock.
Update v3:
I uploaded a new version (attached) which adds the following options:
Hide the camera icon on the lock screen
Hide the carrier label on the lock screen of some Xperia devices
Hide the sparkles effect on the lock screen of some Xperia devices
Update v4:
I uploaded a new version which adds an option for disabling the analog clock face above the list of alarms on some Xperia devices.
Update v5beta2:
The new version adds preliminary support for Lollipop (untested).
You're welcome to try it and give feedback.
The module can also be found on the Xposed repo: http://repo.xposed.info/module/net.feichti.screentweaks
You say the "disable screen on on unplug" doesn't work, I haven't had a chance to check yet, but I've looked at your code an found the following
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as i can see on line 56 on ScreenTweaks.java, you are getting a value as a string from pref and checking if it equals "on" or "off". Why not just save a boolean?
secondly, line 39
mPrefs = new XSharedPreferences(MY_PACKAGE_NAME);
Don't you need the file name as well? Again, sorry if I am wrong about this
Otherwise, sounds like a great mod, will try it now
Hey hamzahrmalik, thanks for your reply.
The setting on line 56 is for the CRT animation, and it's that way so I can select to not do anything (don't change system default).
The other thing is correct, because I want the default shared preferences for the module package.
Well, looks like I was looking in the wrong place.
The setting for not turning on the screen works just fine if I connect a charger, but I was always testing it with the dock, which is something different.
Dock aware don't-turn-on coming soon...
thanks for work
any chance to disable the "stars effect" under the finger while unlocking?
maybe also remove the camera icon?
I have tried this on xperia z1 and it does not work

Dear Pezo,
Thank for the work, the crt-off works perfectly on my Xperia Z1c and it looks very nice!
The first option doesn't count for me because i dont use a lockscreen. The third i wil test later today and report the result.
:good:

Okay...thanks anyway for your mod/help!
Tryed clean install on "PureStock" and here its working flawless! Returned to clean "Monx" and it happens again, maybe its rom releated! :fingers-crossed:
Does hiding the camera icon also disable the swipe camera shortcut from lockscreen?
