I have a rooted NST with Mod Manager, I checked the box to remove the swipe screen savers but it still shows up upon booting the device. Is there anyway to get rid of this first swipe?

Not sure about this because it may yield the same result, but there has been past mention in the forum of "No Lock" (PlayStore). This supposedly disables the lock screen and awakening would default to a press of the "N" button. Is that what you want?
Anyway, the PlayStore tells me that the app is not compatible with the NST although the Android level required is 1.5 and higher , so you'd need to get it elsewhere and sideload it to try it out. Clearly some forum members have gotten some version to work in the past.

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).
So here is what happened. I downloaded the full version of titanium backup from the app market and proceeded to follow the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Bloatware to get a faster, more clean stock rom. I got to the "Home" item and checked in the normal applications menu from the home screen to see if there was a "Home" app of sorts. So I went ahead and froze it and kept going through the apps. Long story short I eventually found out I could not access the home screen and in my nerd rage I rebooted the phone only to find it would not go past the boot screen because it didn't have a "Home" to launch in to.
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance.
if you can launch the voice command by double pressing home or long pressing search, say "market" and it will launch the market, where you can download a home launcher.

Hey thanks, that's a start! I found that I can get past the "red eye" boot screen if you will by sliding my invisible lock slider over. From there all I have is a black screen and then the notification blind. Unfortunately, your suggestions of accessing the market arent working for me. I had previously mapped my double press home to the dialer, and the long press search errors out giving me a "Connection Problem" pop-up with the options to speak again or cancel. I also notice that I am in flight-mode...

If you are comfortable with using adb, you could probably push an apk into /system/app
If you dig through the development sub-forum I am pretty sure there is a link to the stock system archives. You could push the original blurhome.apk

I have just learned how to do basic adb functions while rooting a co-worker's Milestone, so that won't be a problem. I'll try transfering that and see what happens. Thanks for the tips guys.
It's fixed now! I ended up fixing it by going through the Advanced Task Killer (Froyo edition), clicking on titanium backup, and hitting switch to option to go back into titanium. Thanks for the help
Alright guys, I've been looking around a lot on the kindle fire forums and haven't seen any way to remove the lock screen, but I've seen people asking how to. I apologize if this was posted already, but I haven't seen it.
It's very simple, you need the app "No Lock" (It's free in the marketplace) and Titanium backup.
1) Install No Lock, if you try to enable it, it will force close.
2) Go to Titanium backup, Select the "Backup/Restore" tab on top, and find No lock on the list.
3) Hold down on No lock, then select "Force close app" (Not sure if that's really necessary), then select "Convert to system app"
4) Enable No lock, and it should work just fine.
I did notice, when you reboot the kindle, your notification bar goes missing, to get it back, just disable no lock, then enable it again.
Nice discovery.
I might have to try that next time I switch back to watch Netflix.

Yea I wasn't 100% sure it wasn't posted before, I got the idea from another thread that asked how to do it.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
You can use galaxy locker 3.3.2 on aptoide for exemple.
like seaweedopm says :
Okay, so after johnnydowngrief mentioned the name of the lock screen and version number I went looking for it. I found it but wanted to test the functionality before I posted the links.
First, I found the installer at:
http://m.donvito2021.store.aptoide.com/app/market/com.lockscreen.galaxys4/332/4238918/Galaxy Locker
When I ran the app, I received the normal rate this app and remove ads prompts. I was also prompted to update to the latest version of the lockscreen. Before I was able to proceed with the update, I received a message that the "Galaxy S4 Lockscreen has stopped." Fortunately, the lockscreen app's configuration was still up along with the prompt to download the update. So, I accepted the stopped message, accepted the update prompt which began to download and then received another lockscreen has stopped message. Again, the important parts of the app continued to function, specifically, the update continued to download and the configuration screen stayed open. I received the lockscreen has stopped message a few more times before the update finished downloading. Once the download completed, I ran the update - overwriting the current version - and opened the app. This time it opened without receiving any stopped messages. The configuration options all appeared to be in order so I exited the configuration and turned off the screen.
When I hit the power button a new screen appeared with the default lock. I unlocked the screen and it showed the same background. I ran my finger across the screen and noticed an animation occur (one of a couple animations offered in the lockscreen configuration). It seems that I still need to find out how to disable the default Kindle lock. There is a menu item to do so in the lockscreen configuration however it brought me to a page that enables the creation of a PIN to unlock. In normal Android tablets this is the area you select "none" but not in this case.
Has anyone figured out how to disable the default Kindle unlocker?
It's probably also worth mentioning that without a physical home button, is there any reasoning behind assigning the Galaxy S4 Lockscreen as the default launcher? The Kindle is so fast I didn't notice a difference between either option as I have with some lock screen applications on other tablets in the past (GO Locker).
In addition to the link above, I also found a xda user who is apparently offering mods for this lockscreen. His forum post is at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44812287&postcount;=3
P.S. I have a 2nd Kindle Fire HDX 7" for my girlfriend and when setting it up using the same steps as above, the download failed. If this happens to you don't worry, it isn't hard to fix. I simply forced it to start again manually through the menu options on the lockscreen's configuration page.
and like johnnydowngrief says, you have an another thread tutorial here :
Follow this tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2101564. It worked for him.

A few days ago, I noticed that my home key and recent apps buttons on my S7 Edge stopped working. I was able to fix that with a simple reset a few times, but not any more, as both the Home Key and Recent Apps button no longer work at all. The only one that works is the back button.
I've searched the problem and have tried things from deleting recently installed apps to attempting to reboot in safe mode, but nothing has worked. Here is some more information about this problem, and other weird things my phone has been doing:
- I can seem to properly restart into safe mode. When I reboot with the safe mode button sequence, the words "safe mode" appear on the bottom left, until I am prompted to enter my password, and then they disappear.
- A lot of things in the Settings menu appear to be locked, so I can't change them. For example, I cant uninstall apps from the application manager anymore (the uninstall button does nothing). I can no longer change the "lock automatically" setting under lock screen and security>secure lock settings, as the only option is for the phone to lock immediately.
- I even tried a temp solution of downloading apps which allow for button overlays on the screen (e.g, Simple Control) , but itwont work because the phone won't let me turn the "service" on under Settings>Accessibility. When I try to turn the service for the app on, it says "Simple Control and secure startup can't be enable at the same time". However, if I got to Lock Screen and Security > Secure Startup, I am unable to change the option to "do not require password when device powers on". This may because my phone has an enterprise app on it which overrides certain security requirements.
- not rooted or anything like that
Any help would be appreciated.

Yes that is probably the cause of your problems. Has it recently updated? Ask the developer of that app...
