since u r rooted you can install a systemapp remover application and use it to uninstall the launcher completely
or you can just download a launcher replacement (say: apex,go launcher ex) and set defaults to it
as for the lock screen you cannot remove it but you can also download a replacement (say: widget locker,milocker)
and set it as default
i hope i`ve answered you questions
You can go to settings.. Security and set screen lock to none.. If that's what are you asking.. Technically you can't remove the lock screen.. But you can disable it
Need some help, I have flashed several roms and kernels and now I can't change optiones for my lockscreen. The weather does not work, can't change the clock position, I've reflashed the stock rom (4.0.3 UHLPE) and nothing works.
What can I do?
ty guys

Download widget locker from market it has a variety of lockscreens and extras.
Mod the lockscreen without root? Nah... you root access to replace system files.

if you are not rooted, most probably you will see two lockscreens.
anyway, lockscreen alternatives are; widgetlocker, lockbot, lockit etc......
Does anyone know how to replace the standard lockscreen on a rooted stock 2.2?
I have Widget Locker but now and again the original screen pops up and it can be a bit of a pain sometimes.
Thanks.

in my opinion, the reason you see 2 lockscreens is because of android system 5 second rule. any lockscreen other than stock one, will have to wait 5 to initialize. however, in widget locker you can bypass this rule. turn on home helper option in behaviour, and make sure 5 sec bypass is checked. if it is unchecked, check it.
hope it will help.

This is an issue with htc sense roms. on aosp roms like cm6 or cm7, the original lock never shows up with the 5 second root bypass rule activated.
Try Lockbot Pro..it has a variety of Lock screens to choose from like Eclair style, iPhone, Froyo etc....it shows up only one lock screen though..and you ve an option to unlock the screen using any hardware button not just power button, nifty feature
For not visualizer 2 lockscreen you must use no lock
I downloaded a launcher from an APK and my atrix's original launcher dissapeared.
what can i do.
thanks!
go to the market and grab a home launcher switcher like "home switcher for froyo", etc..
use that to switch between original launcher (motoblur) and your new one. You can also make one of them your default.
No like it literally isnt in my phone.. if i dont have a downloaded launcher its just a black screen and i cant access anything haha
is the only option a hard reset?
You might be able to get it back by flashing the service SBF of 1.83... it doesn't wipe the user data.

This happened to me when I first got my atrix and installed launcher pro. Not sure how to fix it as I rooted and installed gingerblur anyway which removes the default blur launcher and uses the default gingerbread style launcher
I upgraded from Overcome v2.1.1 to v2.2.0 and it is no longer possible to set the lock screen wallpaper. In the Screen setting when I select the Lock screen wallpaper it sets the Home screen wallpaper instead.
Anyone else have this problem?

Nope, this problem use to be in resent versions but solved in 2.2.0, for me at least.

I would but I don't have enough posts to be able to reply in that section.
The lock screen wallpaper can be set if I select an image from the gallery. When I did that it set the wallpaper but the device crashed and reboot itself when I rotated at the lock screen.
I did have Widgetlocker installed when I upgraded the Overcome ROM. I'm guessing it may have screwed up something with the Screen settings menu. I've uninstalled that app but it made no difference.
Look issues in @alterbridge post:
"Unable to set lockscreen wallpaper from android 3.2.2 launcher (use the TW launcher patch if you require this functionality)"
My question is:
Are you sure that you install twlauncher patch?

It is possible to set the lock screen wallpaper from the gallery so I probably won't use the twlauncher patch.

Have you got this solved?
i believe the patch will definetely solve this. I had this issue with lock screen in 2.1.1 version and I had to install the patch and it worked fine after that but what didn't work was the calendar, social hub, ebook and facebook videos on facebook app. even though i applied the patch available then.
I am still looking for solution to the above and tonight I am upgrading to 2.2 . fingers crossed - hope it sorts out all the above.
experienced the exact same issue that you mentioned.
cant change the lock screen picture and when try to change from settings>screen> it changes the HOME screen BG.
This is a complete wipe OC 2.2 rom install.
I didnt want to apply the TW launcher patch and had no choice as I want to be able to change the lock screen graphics. After the patch it works fine.
But i want it to work without TW launcher.Any one would know if it is possible to remove the TW launcher patch and revert back to original OC2.2
btw the OC2.2 is perfectly smooth!!! love it and Big thanks to the dev team.
I must be missing because I can't find where the option is to change them. Looked in personalize/lock screen

I think the stock sense lockscreen is trash. Check out widgetlocker on the google store. I had this installed on the old evo, and reinstalled on here. I have ~15 shortcuts on my lock screen. Most of the apps I use all the time.

I'm fine using the stock one just want to put the camera app on it, but can't find where I would change that.

This is a big maybe since I only played with it for about 2 minutes before getting widget locker installed. I believe the lock screen icons mimic the same icons present at the dock when not locked. So if you add a camera down there, it should show up in the lock screen too.

I think it automatically puts whatever apps are in the dock of the default sense launcher on the lockscreen. I am using GoLauncher, but I changed the apps in the default launcher and they now show up on the lock screen.

Thanks That was it. I don't like that, it should have an option to put what you want even if its different than the dock.

I was just having this same problem and found this thread in my search. All my shortcuts were right except for one and I could not for the life of me figure out why. No matter what I changed it would not change. Soon as I read this post I switched back to the default launcher, changed that dock shortcut, changed back to ADW launcher and Bam! Problem solved! Thanks!

So, by this reasoning...you could go to the stock launcher, put 4 things in the dock...change back to ADW and change the dock and keep the lockscreen icons?
EDIT: Yup...sweet.

Yes AS LONG AS you don't kill off Sense launcher because upon reboot since the stock launcher doesn't run, the lockscreen cannot read the icons. So you can but you'd be wasting resources by having two launchers run at the same time.
Hi All,
Just curious if anyone can advise on what seems to be the BEST settings to use on Widget Locker on the SGSIII so that you dont run into issues with the stock lockscreen showing up first and then Widget Locker kicking in and other issues like those that I have had with Widget Locker over the past years on my devices?
If anyone can be of assistance I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks... :fingers-crossed:

First of all you can turn off stock lockscreen in Settings/ Lock Screen/ Screen Lock set it to none... You didn't mentioned are you on ICS or JB? For me Widget Locker worked perfectly on ICS but on JB there are some problems (like immediately unlocking without me scrolling unlock) and I am not the only one that have issues.

I had this problem but managed to fix it. However, your phone must be rooted. In the widget locker settings go to advance and HomeHelper. Tick everything ON, select your HomeHelper's Launcher and tap "Select System Home". Chose WL HomeHelper and tap Always. Go back to Advance settings and tap Root Helper. Tick on first three options. Your Widget Locker should work fine now.
PS. I found this solution somewhere on this forum but don't have a link.
I am on Dark Paranoid JB... Thanks for the responses. I will try these and see what happens...
