So when looking through the apps in settings I found ZTE locker, which I assume is the lock screen app. I love this app and want to share it with my other devices. Would it be possible to export it and install it on other non-zte phones?
Does anyone know if there is a replacement or a way to activate the Settings Widget? I have no idea why Samsung would remove it from Androids default widgets. Several 3rd party apps available but they vary in their capabilities.
Tnx
Pixel or Nexus 6 or Galaxy S7
Unfortunately the settings widget is gone. I don't think that there is a way to activate it.
Is there a free screen lock widget that locks v20 yet allows reopen with fingerprint rather than pin? I have tried several and they either don't really lock or require pin to reopen. Thanks!

Are you using nova launcher?
no
Screen off
but will it work with fingerprint? most require pin for some reason.
Why use a widget? Can't you just double knock to screen off and lock?
Only way for it to work is for it to set a timeout where it shows a blank screen until the phone shuts itself of. Ever since mm it has been this way. You can however double tap the notification bar to put it to sleep and still use fingerprint to unlock.

I need to disable. it since phone sometimes opens in holster by itself.
Yeah if you use LG's default launcher, you will be able to simply use Knock Off/On and unlock with your fingerprint. If you are using a different launcher then i believe you need root to be able to allow it to use double tap to lock without using admin. (Using admin to lock makes it require pin usage and not fingerprint).
Nova Launcher has such feature which is why I asked.
You might check out C Locker. It even has profiles where it won't lock when on specific BT or WiFI, or location.
As stated above, if you are rooted, you can get this working fine using Nova launcher (I'm currently doing that via Tasker but there are other apps that can do it too).
If you are not rooted then you may be SOL for now until changes are implemented on Google or LG's end (unless you find an app that is using the black screen/timeout workaround).
I also miss Gsam. Totally inaccurate in V20. Due to security changes in Nougat I'm told
Picked up one of these phones for my new teenager, thinking I could lock everything down well between an applock app and norton family app. But I can't seem to get rid of the google search bar on the home screen and can't lock the google app in the menu. And neither of these google search capabilities are monitored by norton family.
What can I do to uninstall/disable/lock this google search app?
I installed nova launcher, but the google app is still available in the menu, and the applock app doesn't see it (since it's native?).
So far I discovered I can hide apps from the drawer in nova launcher, but the app lock apps I have won't let me lock the nova settings (doesn't appear in the list of apps). I also installed a different keyboard and locked the system settings.
Is there a way to lock the app drawer or nova settings?
Setting up a MDM policy for our Samsung Galaxy S8 phones. The policy includes app control so I wanted to add in the default weather widget that is available on the phone but can't find the App ID to whitelist it.
