How to change the lock screen. - XPERIA X10 General

I don't know if this has been posted or not but I've found an application that allows you to actually override the main X10 lockscreen.
Go to this link (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?7t273fpch1zet56) and download the app (It's called GOTO), add it to your SDCard and install the app on your phone. Open the app, chose your launcher and enjoy a new lockscreen.

What's the app called?

Edited first post. It's called GOTO. Click the link to download it.

great thanks
tho I like ambient time unlock screen that thing is wow

Nice idea I guess, but I always end up going to the Gmail icon whenever I try to unlock my phone. So I uninstalled it.
Also it showed me the wrong time

You can get that without the application but the original lock screen will still be there.
Go to Security>Set Unlock Pattern. Only downside is as I said, the original SE lock screen is there.

Has anyone else tried this on a resolution other than 240?
On 195 the unlock bar is not scaled right.

weirdness on the slide lock

Greetings all.. After installing the Dusk theme, my phone no longer automatically locks when the screen times out. I have to hit the lock button. Any thoughts on this??
The stock lock feature is a part of TF3D. If you're not running TF3D as your Today screen the lock timeout won't function.

I do like S2U2...I've had it on several of my devices but the Imagio is such a memory hog as it is I think S2U2 just adds a bit more bulk than I would prefer. I also tried speedbooster to help but that caused more problems so I had to uninstall.
Other then the text message tap option not working the device runs pretty well...a little sluggish at times but nothing a clean ram won't fix. Just wish I could find a way to fix it!

ZOMG. This is definitely a step in the right direction.
I'm going to contact the developer and find out if I can get the code to the lockscreen disable portion of the app. Would love to see if I (or someone with actual Android programming experience) could tweak that into something that disables the swipe lock but can keep the pattern lock enabled.
-edit-
Email sent, though BIP's developer is out of town this weekend. If anyone knows of any other apps that accomplish this, I'd be interested to know.
lock 2.0 disables it, as well as the app "no-lock".
problem is, even with the new version of battery indicator, every app ive tried the stock slider still manages to come back someway somehow , battery indicator seems to be the best solution so far, and im wondering if its lock 2.0 that somehow brings back the stock slider.

Hey have you ever been able to receive a response from the dev?
If you are seeking a "new" lock screen, or the "no slider" look.
I highly recommend Widget Locker.
It has a root bypass of the lock screen "5 second rule" which starts up the "old" lock screen.
I bought the app, used the root bypass option, and i havent seen my old lock screen yet.
They even have a keypress unlock, if you want a very simple lock screen, and you can hold your back button down for .5-2sec or so to unlock.
Though, I dont use the pattern lock, so i have no idea if it works in combination with this or not?
Edit: Disregard, I didn't realize the age of this thread D:
Sorry for resurrecting such an old thread. Funny thing is that I actually did start using WidgetLocker and I DO sometimes get the stock lock screen before it starts, so I was looking for a way to completely disable the stock lock. There are some apps out there that remove the stock lock but it causes every hardware button to wake the device up, which is no good. (This includes battery indicator as I just found out)
Yea, thats no good, it kinda defeats the purpose of having some sort of alternative lock screen when it wakes up on key press like that
I'm not sure why, but i have never got the lock screen to pop up again, unless i kill widgetlocker myself.
Well, if you indeed find out how to get rid of that lockscreen, i would love to know, it would be nice to not have a app constantly running pretending to be an alternate lockscreen, you know?
I am using the Extended Controls app from the market.
With it you can enable & disable just about everything the X10 uses (including the lock screen).

Enable / Disable fingerprint lock screen quickly via app or widget

I like to leave my phone unlocked 90% of the time.
Does anyone know if there's an exposed module out there that will let me quickly toggle between the swipe (or no lock screen) and the fingerprint lock screen?
Doing it through setting is a PITA when you've got to enter your alternate password every time.
I would like to just be able to lock the phone on a one time basis.
That's a nice idea. May be someone will make it in future..
But for now I think, there's no app or mod available yet.
I think the no lock home xposed module may be suitable for you but it cannot be set to time ulnock only wifi connection, bluetooth device or cell signal. I hope I could help.

Hello,
It's not what you need but a good alternative is to use FingerSecurity from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...fingersecurity-fingerprint-lock-apps-t2818896
which has a widget on/off.
You can set any app to protect (settings as well) by fingerprint security and just active protection by widget.
So your phone won't be locked, but any app of your choice will
Best regards
Franky
someone mentioned before about nfc wearable's for locking and unlock the ngc rings are pretty cheap
would this help:

This is the closets thing I've found that works. Just wish there was a way to "select all" instead of locking app by app.
The location or NFC ones don't work for me...

You really don't need to secure all apps.
Settings, gallery, sms, mail, file manager, all that can explore your phone, really easy to do.

It's a viable solution, just not the most elegant.
I would rather lock the whole phone, but this does the job for now.
Wonder how hard it would be to make something like that?

In fact, I'm really stupid.
The solution you need is here, in front of us
Just protect your home launcher by fingerprints, and use widget on/off on home screen.
When active, and when you'll screen on, your launcher will be protected, so your phone will be "locked"
(Only thing you need to do is to come back on home screen before screen off, if not, last open app will appear if not protected.)
Enjoy

2nd Screen Questions

Is there a way to have the date/time (and maybe battery %) on the 2nd screen when the screen is *on* ? I can only see if as an option when it's off.
I also tried the music controls, but while it shows Spotify the controls don't work for me.
And dangit, I still can't put a Phone shortcut (not an app shortcut) on the favorites (a Folder Organizer shortcut in my case pointing to a folder of apps).

While the display is on, time, date, and battery percent is kinda useless on the second screen. I don't see the options. While the main display is off, its a good idea, and that's why LG made it available.
Spotify works great for me with the main screen off and on.
You cannot move the info to the second screen unless you're viewing something like media or playing some games. To put a shortcut up on the second screen you'll need to leave one shortcut blank, and then create a shortcut of your choice to the home screen and drag it up to the second screen and drop it. You cannot put entire folders on the second screen though.

I have a few apps that run in full screen (like Kindle*) where I'd like to be able to put up the date/time. Not sure why LG *wouldn't* give us the option to have it there if we wanted it. I mean, to me, the signature thing is just silly, but I realize that some people may like it.
Will try a reboot shortly to see if Spotify kicks in.
I know I'm only 1/2 a day into the phone, but so far the 2nd screen isn't doing what I imagined it would. I'l also pretty disappointed in how notifications work on it. Would like to have the entire bar be the notification w/summary & just stay there until I dismiss it.
Likewise, when the phone is off and I get a notification, I just see an icon. There a way to get a summary or something without turning the phone on, or should I go back to Dynamic Notifications (the app) ?
While not the only factor, the 2nd screen was the main reason I picked the LG over the Pixel XL.
*Kindle - I haven't checked in a while to see if there is a way to disable full screen. Need to check settings for it.

I agree. I would rather take the date and time than the signature.
LG should set a limit with the 2nd screen display. My 2nd display gives me a short summary of my notification with screen on or off for a second or two.
Your spotify issue isn't related to the phone its the latest version that has a crapload of bugs I suggest downgrading to 6.2 to fix it. It isn't the phone, try pandora or google music and you'll find they work fine.
Follow these steps to downgrade:
- uninstall Spotify
- make sure auto update in playstore is disabled or it'll automatically update you back to 6.3
- enable the ability to install apps outside of the playstore (I suggest disabling this setting once you've installed 6.2)
- go to http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/spotify-ltd/spotify/spotify-6-2-0-1028-release/
- download the apk for ARM architecture and install it

Read my post above you.. Go to second screen options and select "more" and then toggle the slider. This allows for the time and date to go to the second screen when in full screen.

Wow, don't think I would have discovered this trick myself, THANK YOU - this one was VERY important to me !!!
(You can get an entire folder if you cheat - I use Folder Organizer & make a shortcut to a "Home" group that I put a Shortcut to using your method. This home group has 20 shortcuts, including 5 "sub-folders" and 15 favorite apps. Subfolders are Tools, Internet, Multimedia, Games & Apps. Some of those folders have sub-folders as well. Then you can use this same "Home" shortcut in other places as well.)

I was thinking perhaps in some Hidden Menu settings via dialer,IDK?
It looks like it does it on it's own? When I look at it he didn't play with any setting and it did that

Yeah,that's what I'm trying to figure out,perhaps it's model-specific?
One wouldn't think so,but,ya never know.
The only other thing I can think of is he's got an app installed that enables this,if it's not a hidden menu item.
I'm gonna look around in there,see if anything jumps out,I'll post again if I find something..................
@Tidbits
I figured out what's going on:
If you make your "signature" long enough,it will scroll as shown in the video,but,it only makes one revolution & stops.
At least the functionality seems to exist for an endless screen roll,perhaps someone with the capability will develop an app to expand on this.
Has anybody tried playing games like Traffic rider and notice that the 2nd screen doesnt work? I mean if i tap on it, it just shows the time any notification icon. No quick settings or previous app option?

Any way to keep fingerprints without Lockscreen?

I'd like to keep fingerprints to use with App Lock and such but without using the lockscreen. Any way to keep them?
I also want this, so it works like a password for apps
but I don't like to unlock my phone at all, just swipe on the lockscreen
I searched a lot, found another thread someone wanted this too
but nobody understood him, they thought he wants only Fingerprint without pin?
but why is it not possible to use Fingerprint (and backup pin or password) ONLY for applock, and not on the lockscreen

In addition to the FP, use on body detection and face unlock.
That should reduce if not eliminate the need to unlock the phone manually.

Try using the app No Lock :

I don't use the FPR,or,any lockscreen for that matter,so,IDK if this will work.
I used it on other phones where you had to use at minimum a swipe to open & it bypassed that requirement,perhaps it'll do the same in this situation.

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it, but still have to swipe to get in. I'm not sure of other OS' but TouchWiz allowed for it. I'll write OnePlus Dev's to hopefully include it on an update. Also, native rear flash notification since we don't have a led for it.
