How to remove keylock???

Hello,
I saw here some threads where guys wanted to install a keylock,
but i need to REMOVE it!
I checked all menus and cant find how to disable it and it is pretty annoying when suggesting every time to unlock and then to confirm
This problem came from nowhere yesterday, i didnt install any new soft in the device recently.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
PLEASE! Anyone, help!
How to remove that annoying keylock? I should press 3 times now to unlock the phone instead of just 1 clock of power button.
Can anyone suggest to change smth in the registry? Where this thing could come off?
Multiposting wont help for sure.
Standard lock is in settings on personal tab, it's called 'lock'.
But I think you have something different. You probably use some additional software, because indeed, WM6.1 does not have any automatic keylock.

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).

Colorblind

Am i the only one with problems seeing the icons status in the notification ? I'm colorblind and wrote to lg support before the kitkat update and asked if there was a way to change it but he said that after kitkat it would be easier to see it but it is not.
Is a way to change it so i get and on/off icon or something ?
yeah go to accesibility settings in settings, general, you can change some settings there that might improve it for you
Solution for me...
Hello. I was having the same problem that you have, I'm color blind too. Fortunly I was able to resolve it. It's not perfect but works with me.
My phone is the LG G2 Mini Dual but I think it's the same for the LG G2.
Go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Accessibility settings shortcut and select "Invert colors".
Now, every time you tap the Home Button 3 times, it will invert screen colors. To disable this, just tap 3 times again
Hope this help you like it helpes me :good:

Drop-down menu available when the phone is locked !!!

Dear experts,
Today I got my Mi 9T. Still trying to find my way around, but... I find it PRETTY
ASTOUNDING, that when the phone is locked, I am able to swipe down on the
LOCKSCREEN, and I see all the icons for turning on and off of VITAL functions
like ringtone, wi-fi, mobile data...
This poses a SIGNIFICANT security risk, because anybody who steals the phone,
can turn off wi-fi and mobile data and then the Find my phone feature simply
won't work.
So, what is the solution to this ? I didn't find a way to disable that menu from
being shown in the lock screen...
Or maybe the Find my phone feature works when wi-fi and mobile data are off ?!?
Many thanks for your professional comments on that!
P.S .: I think it is like that on Samsung phones as well !!! WHY ?!?
I understand your concern, the drop down menu (aka Notification shade) can be dragged down on lockscreen and it is like this on every aosp kind off ROM....
But I am very sure that the icons CANNOT BE OPERATED unless you unlock the screen.
Try to turn off wifi and it should ask for password to unlock.
Can you check it out and conform it?
Settings -> Notifications -> Lock screen notifications* -> disable "Open notification drawer on the lock screen".
* the picture/icon on the left. It's not obvious it's a submenu (nor that there's such a critical setting hidden inside) because for no apparent reason they've decided to use a totally different design language here.
Thanks. Was great to read this, however I don't have this option... I only see apps, format and open notification shade... Nothing about the drawer
Any other ideas ?

That is the one. Notifications / Lock screen notifications / Open notification shade on lock screen - set it off and you won't see it on Lock screen anymore
I found it!! Was just too slow to report here. It is called "Open notification shade on lock screen" !!
THANKS A LOT to everybody !!

funny thing is to today I was looking up how to secure my phone as I still have access to a lot of things by just pulling down the drop menu so ja since when has security become so weak and its mostly on expensive androids phones that its happening I have a button type phone made by vodacom yet its security is more secure that mine it has the ability to set users on the hotspot which makes you think that you actually wasting on expensive when the main purpose is to be secure I also punched into to YouTube and I searched for secure yet all the results is lol how to unlock any android this is insane and I FEEL THAT BY ROOTING YOUR PHONE AND GIVEN AN OPTION TO CHANGE LIMITED ACCESS WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO AT LEAST HAVE MORE SECURITY ON OUR PHONES

No such option seems to exist on Asus Zenfone

[Question] How to launch the Torch/Flashlight from the lockscreen

Dear Experts,
I have a Mi 9T, global version. I would like to be able to turn on the Torch/Flashlight
very quickly, without having to unlock the phone.
I have read, that for this, I should swipe right when the phone is locked. This doesn't
do nothing on my phone.
Both when I just started it and even after installing the latest MIUI update.
Yesterday I tried to install 2 apps, that claim to have a lock screen widget, however
none of those works (meaning, I didn't find an option to enable a lock screen widget
in the settings).
Those were TinyFlashlight and Flashlight by 3.0.7 specifically...
Many thanks in advance!
Hi there, go to settings -> additional settings -> button shortcuts and set a button to activate torch. Personally I use double tab power button, very convenient
hey, you are GREAT !!! And a couple of hours earlier I just found that myself by just doing something else and I came here to say that I discovered it myself
However - the credit goes on you !! THANKS !!!
