Hi,
I want to remove/disable the default HTC Lock Screen.
I know that there are apps in the market for this, but the apps disable all lockscreens.
What I really want is when I turn on the screen i want to see the unlock pattern. Now when i enable the unlock pattern I have to pull down the lock screen of HTC and then i can unlock the phone of the pattern.
I tried to remove htclockscreen.apk but this didnt help for me. I used visionary for root and removed/froze the file with titanium backup and i also tried root explorer. Both without succes
Can anyone help me with this?

bump! anyone got an idea?
Same problem here, any ideas how to change this?
As far as I know the only way is to root/HBOOT and do custom ROM (Modaco Custom ROM ie.).
But in some way the custom roms achives this, so it must be possible without flashing a full rom...
In the themes and apps section there is this exact same thread. Some people are saying to rename the htc lock screen apk file using root explorer. That way it uses the stock lock screen because it can't find htc's one.
nope, this shows then the standard slide-to-unlock screen

Hello,
I like the AuraxTsense them a lot but love the stock lock screen.
I have been trying to use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686567&highlight=lock but ended with endless loop bootscreen.
Also tried botlock but ended with two lock screens one after another.
Anyone have an idea how to do it ?
Thanks,
Nir
Uninstall "HTCLockscreen.apk" With an app like "SystemApp Remover".(didn't find any free alternative...) PM me if you want a link...
I think(quite sure) S-OFF is required.
If I understand you correctly, you want to use the "stock Android lockscreen" with AuraxTsense? You can use "Widget Locker" from the Market for that.

Yeah, Widget Locker is the way to go if you don't have S-OFF, OR: as EleCtrOx666 said, delete the HtcLockScreen.apk and reboot your phone.
My phone is S-OFF.
I don't feel like buying specific software for something that I am not sure working.
Does anybody have an idea how to do it\ test it without buying anything ?
Nir
Just unzip the .zip file of AuraxTSense, go to system/app and delete or rename HtcLockScreen.apk to HtcLockScreen.bak, for example and flash the Rom.
But keep in mind that you cant turn off the alarm from the lockscreen any longer as long as you use the regular alarm.

UPDATE: See post #9 for Gesture unlock and skip the GoLocker lock screen page.
Sorry if this is already posted, but I would just like to point out how I got a pattern unlock working.
1. Download NoLock
2. Disable stock lock screen security
3. Using Es File Explorer or root explorer, copy org.jraf.android.nolock.apk from /data/app/ to /system/app/.
4. Restart
5. Install Go Launcher from the market.
6. Open Go Launcher, then go to menu - preferences - visual settings - go locker - then select go locker enabled.
7. Configure go locker security under security lock
8. Use go launcher and open No Lock, then click the big disable button.
Another way to install no lock is to use titanium backup and change no lock to system app.
The problem with that is, on restart, there is no notification or menu bar. To work around this:
1. Install SwipePad from the market
2. configure one of swipepads slots for no lock
3. On reboot, drag swipepads hotspot to the center, select no lock, then enable and disable locking.
Hope it helps!
By the way, you have to be rooted to read and write to /data/ and /system/
Thanks for this! I found this and tried it on my Nook Tablet and, low and behold, it works as well. Although do you know if there's a way to disable the first lock screen so that only the pattern lock is enabled?
Yea, you just have to get no lock from the market, follow step 3, or you could use titanium backup to change no lock into a system app.
Tell me if that doesn't work.

Well I did that already and it disabled the stock lock screen but not the primary GO Locker screen...does No Lock require any permissions changes?
Thanks!

That is very annoying, yes, but I haven't found a way (yet...)

I was using this method for a while, but found it possible to get around the screen lock when you first boot. Sorry, don't remember the exact procedure, but it was definitely possible. I gave up and went back to the stock locker.
Yes, it doesn't work on first boot, so if you are really concerned about security, you should not use this trick

Ok, I have found a solution. You have to grab the updated GoLocker apk, version 1.23 and install it onto the device. Now, if you look under Settings-Security Lock and check the option Password unlock, it will now skip the lock screen page. Also, you have the option of using a gesture or a pattern.
This seems like a great idea. Going to give it a try as soon as I figure out my root problem...
What issues are you having?
Hi all!
I'd like to ask the question in my title: Is there a way i can remove a system app (for example SIM toolkit) without rooting?
I was thinking if i can somehow use ADB with root privileges and remove system apps through recovery or fastboot!
Thanks in advance!
You would have to do it with root and then remove root again - kinda pointless tbh
you can go to settings, appd, all.. pick the system app that you want, then press disable. but you cant remove them without root.

Tbh this is what i'm doing for all apps that i dont want.
The one that really gets on my nerves (and is the reason for this thread) is sim toolkit which can not be disabled this way!
Just a quick question: why do you want to remove the apps? If it's just because they clutter up your app drawer, or something like that, wouldn't it be easier to simply install a launcher and hide the apps?
That's the method I use. If I can't see them, then they don't really bother me.

sometimes(not always), just because you dont see them doesnt mean that they arent draining your battery or using your ram. at least facebook isnt a system app on a nexus :silly:
Pretty sure you cant get rid of sim toolkit, it will just get installed again, I think its coming from the sim card.
Use twrp file manager and delete stuff in the system/app/ folder.
Sim toolkit is not a drain. I'm not sure why you want to remove apps or why you don't want to root. Messing with /system can prevent you from being able to use ota update.

NEED HELP IN REMOVING THE DEFAULT LOCKSCREEN
I was thinking If we could Remove the default scroll LockScreen and prot the Xperia one
Yes, you can remove the default lockscreen
The default loackscreen you talk about is none other than the keyguard of the navi launcher. Yes, I do agree that it is quite a bit irritating to always swipe up every time you unlock your screen.
To remove this, the fix is simple:
1. You need to first root your device.
2. Open build.prop from /system [Use Root explorer app from the play store]
3. Search for navi keyguard support in the following lines, and change that particular value from 1 to 0.
You will now have Android's default lockscreen on your e7. Cheers.
Oh, and if you want to take it a step further and delete the keyguard, you can do so, with Titanium Backup.

Did you realized, that freezing navikeygurad disable the "Home-Button"?! You also cant enable the Kitkat standard lockscreen - everything you done is commonly disable the lockscreen - so on my device, using kk 4.4.2
The home button works perfectly.i'm using jelly bean!
i use this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ccs.lockscreen
does the job...
"RSGI_PT" how you turned off the default launcher keeping the home button working on KiKat?
Yes, work but you configure new default launcher?
I installed a custom S5 rom on my S5 active. Everything works good.... but I would like to remove all fingerprint apps because on my settings the fingerprint item is present... and I dont want that
Could someone help me to resolve or fix the problem
Thanks in advance
You shoud just delete the "FingerprintService" app to get rid of it, i dont know which rom are you using but at least by that way you dont have an useless service for you running background. You can use any app that you like to delete system apps(I use SD Maid), or you can delete it manually, this app is here:
"/system/priv-app/FingerprintService" just delete this folder, reboot and its gone. The fingerprint will still shows on settings but will not be running in background anymore
