My Phone reboots by itself after a day since last boot, when I slide the unlock bar the screen freeze up an then reboots, after that, works fine for a day or two. Any idea what might be wrong? I got zapX rom with black glass theme.

Same thing happens to me.

Mine did the same. After a factory reset, no more problems. I hesitated a while knowing I would have to reinstall apps, but it was well worth it.

my phone does the same, its done it on OTA 2.2, flyX, apeX and Fission 2. motorola describes it as the phone going into a 'state of panic'. only solution i've found so far is to use 'no lock' so that i have no sliders, however now the screen comes on whenever i hit a button

I unfortunately can't recreate this. :S
But I wonder, if No Lock appears to alleviate the issue..
For those that want the lock screen, would something like WidgetLocker to turn off stock lock screen, and use WL's lock screen instead still resolve this?

Actually tried widget locker today in combo with no lock and that is working because its still not using the default lock screen. Been a good 12 hours now and reboot proof. Annoying but is a working work around.

Doesn't widgetlocker have an option to disable the stock lockscreen? Figured you could use it instead of no lock.. (??).
Maybe I'm wrong.

Any Solutions to this? How do you go about doing a Full Wipe, When I do the Factory wipe in recovery the problem still occurs.
Do you have to do something more where you un-root first?

[Q] Is it possible to get rid of the slide to unlock screen?

So is there anyone that has developed something that will allow you to get rid of the unlock screen completely? I think it would be nice to just be able to hit the button and not have to slide the screen every time.

i havent used this app so i dont know if it works or not but it does what you want.
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock&feature=search_result

I use Battery Indicator Pro. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.darshancomputing.BatteryIndicatorPro
The free version can't disable the lockscreen.
Just search for "disable lockscreen on the market.

Awesome! Thanks you guys!

On CM7 there is a feature for disabling the lockscreen.

Except that it re-enables all the time. (Issue 2121 on the Bug Tracker).
Been waiting a long time for this to be fixed.

I know there is a app that uses your proximity sensor to detect if the phone is in your pocket, and if not it will unlock your phone when you press the power button.
Going trough my app list now.
Edit:
Found it, it's called Intelligent Keylock Unlocker

I found the same, BUT!
Disabling instead from the recently added 'Tablet Tweaks' menu means it stays disabled. No idea what's wrong with the other disable methods, but this one works. Yay!

Now i can reconfigure my Power Widget as i don't need that particular toggle switch any more!

Theres an app on the market called no lock. all it does is gets rid of the lock screen. I was using battery indicator pro for it but hated the notification that was always there.

Slide Closed to Lock

Any options or mods to lock the device by sliding the gamepad closed?
Or to customize what app opens when the gamepad is slid open (I don't want the stock games app).

I know you can turn it off so it doesnt open anything when you slide the keypad open, go into the launcher and then press menu/settings and uncheck the one and only option, if you do this, when sliding to unlock it will just take you to your homepage.

Awesome. Didn't know this. Any way to make it not unlock if you slide it open?

Thanks!
Anyone know the solution to the first question?
Locking the screen when the phone is slid shut?
Edit: Screen Tools is supposed to be able to do this but for some reason it doesn't work.

Someone actually cares?
OK I'll TRY to update Screen Tools to support the Xperia Play.

WOW. Never in a million years would I have thought the dev would drop by! Hi! =)
FWIW, it worked on 2.3.2 but now on 2.3.3 it doesn't work.
-my phone is rooted
-I did hit the Grant Permission button
-the app shows up checked under the list under Admin
-"Enable Screen Tools 2" is checked in the app menu screen as well
With all the above, nothing happens when I slide the phone shut. Otherwise your app works great. Disables lock screen etc.

By default, the phone enters in horizontal state when the pad gets opened.
hatcyl, if you need anything, whistle ^^

App updated, don't worry this users the official API so it should work with anyone.
I added a function to lock on navigation closed (DPAD), so Xperia Play users should check that option.

[HOW TO] Change the Kindle Fire HD and 2 Lock Screen Noob (Simple) Version

In this Noob Series we explore How To Change the Kindle Fire Lock Screen and Eliminate the Annoying Double Lock Screen. When you complete this Tutorial you will be able to have the Lock Screen look the way you want it to look. The software we use to replace the Kindle Fire Lock Screen is Magic Locker. We decided on Magic Locker since it is well supported and it offers several hundres Themes, so the Lock Screen can look the way you want it to look. If you do not like to work on the Kindle, our new software, Kindle Fire First Aide will automate this process in the next version - Production Version 4.2.4. You can obtain a copy of the software here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888 - Version 4.2.4 will Root your Kindle Fire, Install Google Play, Install Google Apps, Install this Custom Locker, Automated ADB Driver Install and an Additional 40 other Automated Operations! We attempt to keep this tutorial updated regularly - adding information from the end users experience. We have recently upgraded the storage servers to increase uptime, you now have two options for the downloads both are ad free. Option one is a Dropbox Storage Server and Option two is a Ubuntu One Storage Server, if one is under maintenance you may use the other download link. When you are done with the tutorial, please take the time to post feedback, this is very important to us - without your feedback, we have no way of knowing if we are doing our job. Finally, if you feel we did a decent job, please think about donating to us using the "Donate to Me" button - this is how we make a living, without your kind donations we would no longer be able to do this for a living.
If you prefer and are into your own custom Photos you may edit the photos in the original Kindle Fire HD and 2 Lock Screen. This requires a solid knowledge of Photoshop or some other picture editor like GIMP that can change the photo size to 1280x800. If this is your preference, move down to Post #2 below. Post #1 will allow you to do just about anything to the Locker and you do not need Photo Editor knowledge plus Post #1 supports over 1000 Themes.
Prerequisites:
1. Kindle Fire HD 7", Kindle Fire HD 8.9" or Kindle Fire 2
2. Rooted Kindle: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069117
3. Google Play: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069329
Custom Locker Step 1. Using Google Play, search for "No Lock". Download and Install No Lock - You may use this link to verify the software: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock&hl=en
Custom Locker Step 2: DO NOT Open No Lock, it will fail. Next, go to the Kindle, open up ES File Explorer or Root Explorer
Custom Locker Step 3: Be sure to enable Superuser on ES File Explorer. Navigate to /data/app, find org.jaf.androidnolock-1.apk - long press on the APK, select Move or Move To. Next, Move org.jaf.androidnolock-1.apk from /data/app to /system/app.
Custom Locker Step 4: Next find org.jaf.androidnolock-1.apk in /system/app. Long press and Choose Permissions (on Root Explorer) or Properties (on ES File Explorer). Change the Permissions to: Owner: Read Write Group: Read Others: Read - Click OK to apply the Permissions.
Custom Locker Step 5: DO NOT Open No Lock. Pull down the Upper Status Bar, Select More+, Select Sounds & Display and change the Screen Timeout to: Never and then reboot the Kindle.
Custom Locker Step 6: Once the Kindle is back to the desktop, open No Lock which is found in the Kindle Apps, select "Locking disabled".
Custom Locker Step 7: Using Google Play Search for MagicLocker Main which you can find here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.lockscreen.magiclocker - Download and Install Magic Locker Main
Custom Locker Step 8: Be sure to enable Superuser on ES File Explorer. Navigate to /data/app, find mobi.lockscreen.magiclocker-1.apk - long press on the APK, select Move or Move To. Next, Move mobi.lockscreen.magiclocker-1.apk from /data/app to /system/app.
Custom Locker Step 9: Next find mobi.lockscreen.magiclocker-1.apk in /system/app. Long press and Choose Permissions (on Root Explorer) or Properties (on ES File Explorer). Change the Permissions to: Owner: Read Write Group: Read Others: Read - Click OK to apply the Permissions.
Custom Locker Step 10: Using Google Play Search for MagicLocker Theme - Download and Install a few Themes that interest you. I use Starry lock screen and Jelly Bean lock screen.
Custom Locker Step 11: Launch MagicLocker Main, click on Next, Next, Next - You will now see a popup, click Next and choose Clear Defaults until it Grays Out, click on the picture of a house (Home Button), you will be asked which Launcher to Use, you choose MagicLocker Main <Select Default>.
Custom Locker Step 12: Launch MagicLocker Main, sometimes you are taken to your regular Launcher App, if this happens repeat Step 11. Select "Lost Robot Music" and click Apply. Next MagicLocker applies the Theme and asks if you would like to Customize it, answer Yes or No depending on your interests. I selected No so we can move on. You can always customize it latter.
Custom Locker Step 13: Next MagicLocker will show you an example of the Theme. Unlock it by pulling down the circle in the Android Picture.
Custom Locker Step 14: Now we need to customize the way MagicLocker reacts when you unlock to the Left which is a Phone Call and when you unlock to the Right which is a SMS Application. Unlock straight down just unlocks the screen.
Custom Locker Step 15: OK, lock the Kindle by depressing the Power Button for 1 brief Second until the screen turns black. Depress the Power Button briefly again, you will see the lock Screen. Unlock to the Right, next you are asked which is your SMS Software, I use Go SMS Pro. Check the Box to "Always use this application". Unlock to the Left, next you are asked which is your Phone Software, I use Google Voice and Groove. Check the Box to "Always use this application".
Custom Locker Step 16: Next, let's install the Themes. Find the name of the Themes you downloaded in Step 8. In this example we picked Starry lock screen and Jelly Bean lock screen. So go into the Apps. Find Starry lock screen, click on Starry lock screen and select "Install this theme". The installer will process and you will be back at the MagicLocker main Theme Menu. Exit MagicLocker, then go to Apps, find Jelly Bean lock screen, click on Starry lock screen and select "Install this theme". The installer will process and you will be back at the MagicLocker main Theme Menu.
Custom Locker Step 17: Now we need to let MagicLocker know what is your Default Launcher, so launch MagicLocker, find Preferred Home Launcher, click on Preferred Home Launcher and select your Launcher, we use Nova Launcher Prime.
Custom Locker Step 18: Let's eliminate the Ads from ever appearing again. Open either ES File Explorer or Root Explorer, navigate to /system/app find the dtcp_apk.ap, long press dtcp_apk.apk select Rename. Rename dtcp_apk.apk to dtcp_apk.old.
Custom Locker Step 19: Reboot the Kindle.
Custom Locker Step 20: Whenever you reboot, the Kindle Fire Framework starts before anything else, so you may see the Kindle lock screen at Reboot IF you do not let everything start. If you can not wait 5 to 10 minutes, unlock it and let all the services start, usually 10 minutes is sufficient. Once you unlock it, you will notice there are no more Ads! After 10 minutes No Lock Service kicks in and disables the Kindle Fire Lock Screen. We have attempted to play with the start-up timing and ended up with Framework missing, so Amazon was smart when they thought out this function. Also, the service that controls the lock screen is part of the same group that displays the Kindle Framework when you unlock it. Finally, if you do wait 10 minutes you will never see the old Kindle Fire Lock Screen!
That is it! Next we will offer you a solution with the stock lock screen but you will need high resolution photos to make it function properly. Be sure to look at our new Backup and Recovery Software for the Kindle Fire Series: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888

please delete. question was answered already once reread.

Thank you for this guide. I took the Golocker instead of the Magiclocker and it worked as a charm as well.
The only issue I still have, is the “star“ favorite button in the lower right corner. Although the “home“ button has been disabled within the locker software, the star is still active. Think, it's the same with Magiclocker, isn't it?

Yes, I am referring to the lower right soft key. But - I'm glad with it (honestly I'm used to it) and don't want to change the bar.
A possible solution is to empty the favorite function, but maybe there is another one...

Gave this a whirl last night. Sweet. Thanks for this tutorial. After following the instructions in the OP I waited at least ten minutes for all the services to start. I am finding during a reboot the Kindle lockscreen appears; no ads. Unlock and use as normal. It is after the Kindle enters sleep mode then the Magiclocker lockscreen appears and I never see the Kindle lockscreen. Is this functioning correctly. I may have mis-read but thought the Kindle lockscreen will never appear (presumed this to be true after rebooting as well).

There's a chance that on reboot the original lock screen will appear. You should see it when the dpi is below 180.

Way to still view offers without lock screen
This worked great for me thanks. I am wondering though if there is a way to view offers under the offers section with the amazon launcher, but not in the lock screen. I wouldn't mind knowing some of the special offers when they are books.
Thanks

Callum77,
Yes, we are aware of this problem. If you Open Magic locker before we instruct you to do so, it breaks Magic Locker. This is why we state to NOT open Magic Locker until we instruct you to open it. We use Nova Launcher as well, it works beautifully with Nova Launcher.
Please DO NOT open Magic Locker until you are instructed to open the application.

I am glad you used this thread with your preferred software. That is the idea, to spark someone to do something different.
I do have to say, Magic Locker will force the Kindle locker to diable, I am not sure if Go Locker will perform the same task. Post your results when done.
No, Magic Locker does not disable the Home button. Magic locker uses the Home button directly and routes your Launcher through Magic Locker.

nakedtruthishere,
I have been thinking about it, Go Locker will not work like Magic Locker. You see, Magic Locker manages the overall Framework, thus Blacklisting any application from attempting to lock the screen. Maybe you can integrate the Home button into Go Locker? Magic Locker leaves the Home button in tact.:good:

blklab49,
The Kindle Lock screen will appear on the first boot if you quickly unlock it, after this first reboot Magic Locker takes over and you should never see the Kindle Lock screen unless you quickly unlock it after a reboot. Magic Locker is a service, so it has to initialize which take a few seconds after startup. Having said this, if you reboot and quickly (1-2 seconds) attempt to unlock the Kindle you may see the old lock screen. After my first reboot, I never saw the Kindle Lock screen again, it is gone!
Thank you for taking the time to post your comments.

Double tap screen off like g3 with nova.

Not sure if anyone using nova knows this or anyone interested or anyone wants to get nova or whatever reason just likes to have this feature.
First step is install nova and prime (I think it requires this because we need the gesture)
Go to app store and download Screen off and lock by katecca. (You might wanna activate the app first) .
Once downloaded go to nova setting. Go under gesture and buttons. Select double tap. On the top tab select app. Scroll down to screen off (under s). When you first select it. It will have to activate the app first and just hit yes/activate it. (Unless you activated it first)
Once done..
You can now double tap anywhere to get screen off instead of the status bar.

Awesome! Thanks for the tip!

Thanks! Good find till a dev can get the wake/sleep working without issues!

Now if only the back button was on the right hand side so when I use the phone in my right hand I can reach it.

If you have greenify you can link doubletap to that also.

That's what I've been doing for a while myself... Double tap will Hibernate + Lock phone aka Sleep.
Works very well

how about the other way?

G3 allows you to open and unlock phone? with tap patterns. Would love❤ to see that on this phone?.

Works but really does lock the phone so Smart Lock doesn't function when you're in a trusted location.. anyone know of a workaround or an app similar that will work with Lollipop?

Validus ROM has double table status bar to sleep. You can download it on their google + page.

I know this thread is a little old. Is this still the best double tap to sleep method through Nova?
