Hi there everyone!
I've got an ad-supported G4 that has been upgraded to Nougat, so no non-ad ROMs for me, it seems.
Before I continue, I loathe ads. Like, really, really despise them. Why in the hell did I buy an ad-supported phone then? Well, my daughter bought it for me to replace my 5x which is super awesome of her and why I can't get rid of it
With the help of this forum, I found whether I could unlock and replace the ROM(no, because it was upgraded to Nougat) and whether I could pay Amazon for the privilege of not having to be assaulted with fullscreen and swipe ads on my communications device(no.). I also looked into settings to see if I could disable the security lock screen completely(no.).
So what I've begun doing is double-pressing the power button to go to camera then using the home button to get to the desktop. I was also asked if I wanted a "shake" to send it to the camera as well, which got me to thinking: is there any way to customize what a "shake" does? Could I set it to send to desktop instead of camera? Perhaps through an app? I didn't see anything in the settings.
Any help on this or another manner of getting around the lockscreen without seeing it would be greatly appreciated!
PS: I know desktop probably isn't the right term but I can't think of what is ATM
