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.
Post screenshot.
I guess this could go in the Apps and Themes forum but I thought I'd stick it here in case the issue is broader than me thinking it might be related to CHT removal.
Decided to uninstall CHT 1.7 (and Advanced Home Tab 2.2.4) after getting fed up with lag/freezing/etc, and now I have three problems on the home screen:
1. The top-left part of the calendar (day, date) widget seems to be the same size as the CHT version, i.e. smaller than the default one, and therefore sits 20-40 pixels away from the rest of the calendar. EDIT: it won't even let me launch the calendar or alarm by pressing on it (or any area of the widget)
2. I can no longer scroll the apps to reveal the additional 6 below the 3 that sit at the bottom of the screen. EDIT: this has just started working.
3. The 'Menu' button no longer works on this screen either - it flashes upon touch but nothing pops up - so I can't access any quick links etc.
Can't find anything on the forum search or elsewhere.
Also, CHT may not have uninstalled properly because it won't disappear from the list of "removable" apps. Does this mean it's left some legacy code that is forcing the calendar to mis-display, etc?
Thanks

Decided to reinstall CHT 1.7 along with the editor and see what happens. Running only one screen of apps (4x4) to see if this makes it more stable.
make sure you turn off sense before uninstalling....

Ok - so do I go to settings > menu > all settings > today > items > check Windows Default before uninstalling ... and then uncheck it after reinstalling?
Thanks
yup that's the one.....
check default, uncheck sense, soft reset, uninstall, reset, start up sense again.
Not guaranteed to work but its worth a try....
hope that helps.....

I'll put this out there just in case anyone else gets into a pickle like I did earlier today!
If you decide to install Cookies Home Tab, then install Advanced Home Tab, only to discover that the version of CHT is a lot newer than the version of AHT you thought you had....
Sense really gets messed up, so much so, all you get is white background and no response, to *anything*.
I managed to get my beloved HD2 back from the brink of certain hard reset by:
Attempting connection to my laptop (Win7) using ActiveSync (thankfully it was set to that as default!) and attempted the uninstall of AHT through Mobile Device Center.
This appeared to go ok, except MDC did close unexpectedly after the uninstall.
I brought it back up, and it was still installed. Ok, plan B.
Plan B:
Just before the SIM card PIN entry screen (I'm guessing this screen pauses the boot up just enough) you can open the start menu, this allows access to your programs.
I used Total Commander to launch CHT installer (I always keep cabs on my SD card) which attempted uninstall and failed on a few files (as Sense was still switched on, switching it off wasn't an option due to not being able to get this far until now).
I then managed to get into the Windows Settings via the Start menu, and disabled Sense before rebooting. My god, it was slow booting that time!
From here, I reinstalled CHT and CHTE, uninstalled AHT and all is well!
Hi
My home buttom was disable by some apps. it's not working anymore
i can use homebutton to wake up the phone or going into recovery.
but can't use home button to get out of apps or in the homescreen
anyone know how to enable it again? thanks
sorry for my english
Factory reset.
I'm just curious here as I've been on android a long time and never seen an app that disabled the home button.What app(s) did you have that disabled the home button? I'm afraid avetny may be right but before you do a reset uninstall the offending apps if you've not already done it.

I know this is an option. but i prefer not, if i can have another option.
thanks
my last option like avetny is factory reset. done. work. i know it's a software.
but for krabman question. I don't know what's apps cause it.
but I was playing. change my android id apps and go locker at the time.
I guess one of those apps cause the trouble. more or less. change my android id was the last use before I restart the phone.
Hey guys, I will try to find include as much info as I can. I have Google play loaded on the device. I tried to uninstall an app and the icon remained, trying to uninstall it again gives me a pop-up about the app files do not exsist. Ever since then if i install an app from either the play store or the Amazon app store they will not show up on the main screen. The apps are there and I can remove them via settings. I have tried a hard reset as well as reinstalling the initial app that caused the problem. When I do that the app icon works again but no new apps show up still. If I uninstall it again it does the same thing as the first time, the icon stays.
I was hoping there was something running in the background i can clear the data for or something to fix this. I do not know enough about it to tinker around with it. I have some stuff downloaded from Google play that i cannot backup. A factory reset will lose the data on those accounts so I am trying to avoid it.
If you have any suggestions I will gladly try them, thank you in advance for your help
Mine is doing the same today, I've uninstalled it but the icon remains on the screen. I've also tried others that I've installed from Google play, all behave the same.
Are new apps that you install showing up? I cannot get any new app to appear.

Same issue happening on my Fire HD 10. No newly downloaded apps showing on home screen, and icons for uninstalled apps are grayed out. Tried clearing the home screen cache, but no luck.

This might be somewhat related. Please try the following trick to see if it helps:
(1). Settings --> Apps & Games --> Manage All Applications
(2). Swipe left in order to display "ALL" applications and then scroll down to select the application named "Home Pages"
(3). Tap "CLEAR CACHE" and then "FORCE STOP"

Clearing the data and cache for the home screens did finally work for me! I had to reorganize all my apps on the home screen, but not a big deal.
huge thanks for that.

Thanks! I had the same issue today, and I did the above steps twice for it to take hold. All fixed now! :good:
This was driving me nuts. This is the solution! No way I would've found it on my own if I had a million years. Thanks!
Cant uninstall app, this app has no icon its just blank. Theres a blank slot in the device administrators as well it can be checked and unchecked but has no information about it. Just blank if anyone can help it would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
cant create folder shortcut
Sorry to wake this thread up, but I can't seem to create a shortcut to a folder on my sd card on the fire hd8 tablet for kids. I have downloaded many different file explorers, have used them to create a shortcut, they say the shortcut has been created and is on home screen, but the folder shortcut never shows up on the home screen. Any help please....
I'm not sure when this issue actually started but when I tried to edit my Smart Lock settings today, I found I couldn't get into the Screen Lock settings at all.
I have a LG V20 US996 unlocked & rooted running software version 10n. When I try to access Settings -> Display -> Lock screen, I get "Unfortunately, Lock Screen Settings has stopped.". Here's what I've tried thus far based on articles I've found around the webiverse:
Cleared all of the cache & rebooted.
Cleared all the user certificates under Certificate management.
Cleared the data for the following packages via Titanium Backup followed by a reboot:
com.lge.lockscreensettings.overlay 1.0
com.lge.provider.lockscreensettings 7.0
Lock Screen Settings 5.50.160811
Rebooted into safe mode using the default launcher and still couldn't get into the Lock screen settings.
I currently have a passcode set. Clearing the above package data did not remove the passcode. I also use Nova Launcher but somehow I don't think that's the issue since I wasn't using it in Safe Mode.
This issue is making me a tad nervous as I'm afraid I'll boot or try to unlock the phone and it won't let me. I'm all ears for any suggestions I could try short of resetting the phone to defaults.
Thanks!
I'm having the same issue. Nova launcher also. Tried all "fixes" mentioned as well.
Figured out my issue, not sure if it applies to you as well.
I ran a logcat and found that the lockscreen settings showed an error looking for weather settings. I previously froze the LG weather apps. After unfreezing the 3 weather apps, lockscreen settings work once again!
Good luck!
Holy crap, it worked! I had frozen it with Titanium as well. Unfreezing it made all the lock screen settings work again. How obscure and annoying is that?
Thanks!
Pistacios solution fixed the problem. Unfreezing the LG Weather apps (with Titanium, in my case) fixed the problem.
Awesome! Glad I helped. I came across your post when I had the problem and decided to dig deeper and that's when I found the answer.
Lockscreen wallpaper can still be changed with the apps frozen, just do it thru the gallery with the "set as" option, but just about everything else needs those apps active. I just unfreeze, change settings, then refreeze them.
