Disabling the Lock Screen

None of the apps I've tried from the Market have worked, so I'm wondering if there's a file somewhere I can either change permissions on, rename to a .bak file or some other form of hackery in order to disable the lock screen. If anyone knows how to do it, I would really appreciate the tip!

You have provided little info on what ROM you are using to know what you are trying to do and what apps you have tried.
I used nolock without any issues on the stock ROM.

He's trying to make it so he no longer has a ... lockscreen? Lol
@OP, I haven't been able to do this either.
@krelvin, do you have your wallpaper locked? I'm stock, but rooted, and what not; no lock crashed on me when I tried it last.

Yes. It is locked by having changed the permissions of the wallpaper files, don't recall right off hand what the location was.

I've used nolock on my KF without any issues. I had it working on my phone (Dinc), but a new management policy from work stopped it from working.

I like the idea but just tried nolock and get force closing on 6.2.0

I'm sorry...I'm using the stock ROM. I also tried NoLock, but it kept force closing once setting it, and wouldn't work. Since you got it to work, I'll try it again, maybe clearing data once I install it might help.

nolock doesn't seem to work well on the fire--- its redundant to use with cm7 and ics---- I had trubble with no lock on stock/modaco/biffs

Location for locking wallpaper:
Use Root Explorer...
data/data/com.Android.settings/files
Then long-press the Wallpapers file, select Permissions.
Check mark like this:
X BLANK X
X BLANK X
BLANK BLANK BLANK
Click okay
Next time you want to change wallpapers, you have to go back and change the permissions back to change and then again to lock.

CM7 has an option to disable the lock screen.

Try widget locker. The new release has support for the kindle fire. I purchased today and I can safely say it is working 100%. Give it a try

+1 to this. Its in the tablet tweaks. Plus there is the amazon kindle app, in the regular Android market not just the amazon one and that takes care of all the ebooks you have. Maybe you should flash CM7!!?? Its freaking sweet! So so much better then the stock Rom....

amazing battery life

Just few quick tips that will help you get amazing results:
1. get the app called Autostarts from the market
2. in the app kill after reboot google maps, talk and social hub(you can find it on scond line in the application from the possible options.
3. Get Titanium
freeze wifi sharing manager and wifi manager.
You are done
Enjoy!

Have you tried dl'ing anything from the market after doing this? Because in the help section it says you might not be able to dl anything from it if you disable Google Talk.

Why not just log out from Google Talk instead?

O-o-ps!
I just realized that I've madeb a mistake:
I was meaning google voice but not google talk.
SORRY!

Elaborate on point 3 please.
What is wifi sharing manager and wifi manager?

You can stop most, but not all services by going to Settings, Applications, Running...

I think the point is to have it done automatically every time.

Exactly! You can stop them manually but they will reappear again. With the program mentioned above you can do it for good - google maps, google voice will not longer drain the battery without need. Tiatanium will take care for wifi sharing manager and wifi manager - yet another big, big battery drainer that won't affect the phone in any way

Thanks for the tip. I got the program autostarts but I am not able to manually disable google map and voice. I just see several lines of google services framework. Is this it?

Time to do some testing. I already had autostarts on another recommendation, but was lost on what to do with it.
I have found that using a very (very) minimal homescreen on a black background, using a dark profile for all apps that have the option, and turning wifi off when not needed, I can get at least 2 and a half days out of one charge with light use.
Going to see if this impacts my numbers any. Thanks!

The trick of my recommendation is that the phone is folling in deep sleep when not in use and by that way you can almost double the battery life, of course if not in constant use. To be sure that you are doing alright go get frkm tne market Battery monitor widget, install the widget and if you are running at about 50mA in sleep mode you are just fine.

found quite a number of Autostarts, but didn't see the one mentioned.

Is there a fool-proof way to ensure data is not turned on?

My data charges depend on the usage and it's very expensive. Sometimes, somehow my data is accidentally turned on. Is there a fool-proof way to ensure that that never happens? Is there an app that ask me to confirm if I am sure that I want to turn on data?

Go on settings
Press "more"
Go on "mobile networks"
And if data enabled is unmarked that means its off

I don't want to always go through those steps to see if it's off.
And, it doesn't really ensures that it never gets turned on.
Is there another way?

Of course it does, why won't it?
Also if u don't want to go through all those steps u can use widgets

I can just press data enabled and it toggles on/off
Also next time post in the q&a section

But if you really really want to make sure pop out your sim and that should work trololol but seriously those widgets work! I used them before :thumbup:

Airplane mode... haha that will be sure you wont have data charges!!! lol

I'm guessing you could make a null APN and simply select it, that way your device shouldn't be able to use data until you choose the right APN.

^^ This will definately work.

Quick settings by dragging the top nav bar down.
And just press the mobile data icon if it is on to turn it off.

What about using Tasker or Llama to set up an event to disable mobile data if it is on?

Blocking mode not disabling LED notifications?

Used blocking mode on my S3, S4, and now the S5. For some reason the blocking mode on the S5 does not disable the notification LED. The option to have it do so is just not there. Is anyone else noticing this? Any way to fix this?

Seems like a stupid thing to remove. That LED is as bright as the sun in my dark room at night!

I was hoping it would allow text messages for those in the allow list. My phone calls ring through, but texts do not.

Yea, the only thing I can find is going into display and insert LED notification, check the box in there to shut off notifications

My blocking mode isn't working at all. I do have a separate app that handles my ringtones, but even fb notifications go through when Blocking Mode is on =\

Same here, even after ANE2 update! Any ideas?

any hope to get this changed now that we have root?

The only way to get this working for me was with GravityBox.
You have to set the time to turn off and on notifications, like at settings menu, but that actually works.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-gravitybox-v3-1-5-tweak-box-android-t2554049

You can disable led in Blocking mode by editing table "system" in "/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db" and setting
Code:
dormant_disable_led_indicator 1
So set that and reboot to apply.

Can you give step by step instructions on how to edit the system table?

Thanks for checking. I did try that but it's not working. It hasn't worked since I first got the phone. Searched Google and didn't find anything and haven't seen anyone else post about it here.
It's strange that its never worked and I have no idea what would be causing it to FC.

If you're using a task-killing app,it is likely the culprit,ditch it & don't look back.
If not,check the following:
Go to SETTINGS > APPS > QUICK MEMO+ & ensure that all app permissions are enabled.
Also,go to SETTINGS > BATTERY & POWER SAVING,tap on BATTERY USAGE & scroll down to Ignore optimizations & choose QUICK MEMO+
Other than that,the only other recommendation I have is to clear all the app data from QuickMemo+ & try again.

Very odd, I've got nothing.
Outside of a factory reset or device replacement, I'm stumped.
May be an effort in futility, but, I'd drop this on an AT&T associate in-store,see what they come up with.

I appreciate your help. It's just one of those little things that irk me. I'm very happy with the phone and everything is working great so no need to return it. Not sure about AT&T (just switched) but if it's anything like Verizon going there would be a complete waste of time.
I'm coming from the 5x and prior to that, quite a few years if rooting and custom ROMs. Like I said I'm very happy with this device but I wanted to try and take advantage of as much of the stock software as possible, since I'm so used to customizing my phone to the exact same setup for so long.
I'll live with it, and again thanks for your help.
