how to change and personalize the screenlocker ?

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.
edit :links ok

Fix the links please. They are not the full needed links they get cut off with the ... in the middle

System UI Tuner not working

Hi All,
Just got my Nexus 6P from Google UK to replace my HTC One M8 GPE (Been an amazing phone. made better by GPE)
Anyway, I've enabled developer options, but can't for the life of me get System UI tuner to work, the settings symbol just wont spin at all, tried holding it for 2-3 seconds, 5 seconds and 10 seconds.
Also tried this on my HTC One M8 GPE, Nexus 9 and wont work on them either?
Any thoughts? got developer enabled on them all.

Took several tries for me to get it. Hard to see it spin with my fat finger on it.

it wont spin at all on any of the devices, I can hold it down so my finger is fully over it or I can hold it down so only part of finger is on it, but it wont spin.

Got it working, turns out you have to have animations turned on in developer settings for it to work.

I still want able to get the System UI Tuner to show up in settings after enabling animations. I don't know what else to try.

Never mind I got it to work. I had to turn off developer settings. Restart phone then use the normal method of turning it on. It worked fine after I did all that.

How did you disable the developer settings?

Go into Settings>Developer Options
And at the top there is an "On/Off" toggle. Then restart your phone. And do the method of enabling the "System UI."

Tried to get System UI Settings. . Nothing worked until I read posts above. But I also suggest that if you have shut off animations in Developer Options - return them to the default 1.0 so you can see the gear spin. Reset them after you get the System UI options.

I've got an updated to nougat p9 and it doesn't work at all

What I heard system UI is for the Google phones.

yureka is frequently getting locked after new official update of cm12.1

My yureka is frequently getting locked after updating cm 12.1 .i cant do anything cz screen goes blank and then it get locked and wallpaper get changed to its default wallpaper and theme says it is customised. I traid safe mode but its not working. Any suggestion or tips ..?? Pls help....

[Solved]:
Usually it happens to everyone who upgraded to cyanogen 12.1 recently, even I had this problem and got the solution too.. Upgrading OS needs to take effect on GUI of the previous verson, so you have to reset your phone!
Do as follows:
> Take the data backup from your device,
>Go to settings, and reset the phone to the factory defaults!
>Done!

If this problem is solved by just factory resetting than why YU is ready to exchange the device for just this issue. I am also having the same problem and when I connected customer care the said that we will replace your device

Hey I have got a solution for this . Go to your device settings and then Privacy. Then go to privacy guard. There are three dots on upper right corner. CLICK ON THAT AND SELECT SHOW BUILT IN APPS. Now search for Google play services and hold on Google play services. Scroll downside and search for auto start and keep awake. Turn them off. But keep sure that (keep awake ) is enabled.
If it help you please thanks me.

I tried factory resetting but after few days it went back as it was . It doesn't help. Tjen on YouTube i found a solution its working .....
First i turn off double tap option that includs double tap to wake up and double tap to sleep then i removed all Google accounts and cyanogen account . And after that i cleared all the data of play store and play service .and then after rebooting i signed all my account back and my phone is working well till now....
And thanx for ur support guys....

Weird Additional Lock Screen On My S8

Hi Guys,
I have Iris and fingerprint and lock screen pattern set up as my unlock options. I used to just use one of the three mentioned and go straight in to my home screen. However this morning the phone has been presenting an additional swipe to unlock screen. I cant find anything in the settings to disable this and it's very annoying.
Any one know what it is and more importantly how to get rid of it?! Image attached.

Do you happen to have Smart Lock Enable?

Nope it's not that, Smartlock puts a small padlock on the standard lock screen.
I've tried disabling smartlock and I can confirm ts not related to that.

you have an app that is acting like the lockscreen, find it and remove it

Might be power saving or performance mode

That was my assumption as well - has to be a 'google' app but I cant seem to locate it.
I've flicked performance mode off and it's still present.

It has to be another app. Probably an app that has additional stuff on it you didn't know about. My mom and dad's phone had an additional lock screen due to a cleaner app they installed. I was like wut.

That's without a doubt a third party lock screen

Had the same issue
It is a third party app
I had one called ManFIT
I uninstalled it and was good to go

Definitely an app that you recently downloaded or one you have that updated. Work for tmobile we get this all the time with old people that let their kids download anything. It's a free game/theme/file cleaner/battery saver/virus cleaner/emoji keyboard. If it's an app you need for something else you can revoke certain permissions for it to get rid of the fake lockscreen.

I have the same issue
I'm having the same issue and it's extremely annoying.
As soon as I use my fingerprint to unlock my screen I'll hit the button to close out apps, and it is first in the list, and it's called "lockscreenplugin" and has a picture of what the android system apps is like (little green monster)
But I cannot figure out how to disable it as it's not listed in the apps in settings (even showing system apps)

Once you unlock your screen and your stuck on the swipe one......in the top left corner I noticed 3 dots, I tapped it and it said turn off now......see if that helps

The three dots in the top left of this annoying screen lock is the answer! I got this new lock screen yesterday and it's been driving me crazy; it even shows ads for Lyft and Facebook. I had to touch the area of the three dots about six times before a pop-up message appeared, asking if I wanted to disable it. Then it asked again if I was sure. Afterward it is completely disabled. THANKS!!!

No three dots

I'm getting this annoying lockscreen as well. However there are no three dots in the top left. I have an ad in the middle of the page and a notification bell in the top right corner.

"OK Google" from locked phone no longer working

This seems to have started up recently when the screen is off and I can't quite figure out if its tied to the Google Play Services version or not. I'm on the latest beta of Google / GPS and it doesn't seem to be working on Oreo.
Curious if this has happened to anyone else?
I'm on GPS 11.9.73 and I think it ties more into that

Doesn't work here & seems to have been removed from settings

Google Assistant settings are accessed from the Google Assistant app. And, even though it's set to unlock the phone on hearinh "OK Google, it doesn't. Just brings up the unlock keypad

My settings still does say screen off as well.

Go to security/smart lock and see if trusted voice is in the menu. There may be an app not playing nice with smart lock. If greenify isn't set up right it can cause this issue.

It is in the menu and brings me to my screenshot from above. No Greenify or any doze/power saving changes
Edit - annnnd out of nowhere it starts working again 3 hours later

It should look like this: see attached. Not sure what's causing it but that's possible your issue.

Annnnd, also out of nowhere, it's working here, too.
Interesting, too, it that the "Settings">"Smart Lock" page is no longer blank:

A lot of the setting don't seem to work for whatever reason. Like limiting background processes just..doesn't.

The only fix there is for this is to turn off smartlock by going to setting, security, and trust agents then turn it off and restart the phone then re enable the smart Lock
