removing the stock lock with root access

[solefalcor]

I'm looking for the apk in system/app that is the lock screen for kindle fire 2. I followed the tek that installed unlocker then locker of choice, but on start up it goes to stock lock first and then to lock of choice after locked again. I want my kindle to go straight to android lock on start up incase It's ever stolen. Does anyone know how to do this?

I seem to recall there being an option in the replacement lock screen app that disabled the built in lock when it was enabled. I might be wrong. I think kindlefree had an option to remove the built in lock.

EDIT: Kindlefree is handy, but doesn't disable the lock screen, just the ads.

Appreciate it. That's precisely the tek I followed. It pretty much works except on start up. On start up it goes to the stock lock first then one you open it and lock it again it goes to the lock you installed. I just feel it leaves you vulnerable on startup should your device get stolen.

Also I followed a guide to remove ads on the kindle lock by changing a certain apk in system/app to a bat . I was hoping to find the apk that is the stock lock and too change it to a bat. But that apk May control more than the lock

I ended up bricking my device by making what I thought were simple changes so make sure you have backed up your partitions.

I'd say create an unlock password on the kindle (system lockscreen) itself, to protect you on first boot.

Also, it's probably systemui.apk that controls it.
