Bar, Select More+, Select Sounds & Display and change the Screen
Timeout to: Never and then reboot the Kindle.
Custom Locker Step 6: Once the Kindle is back to the desktop, open No
Lock which is found in the Kindle Apps, select "Locking disabled".
Custom Locker Step 7: Using Google Play Search for MagicLocker Main which you can find here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.lockscreen.magiclocker - Download and Install Magic Locker Main
Custom Locker Step 8: Be sure to enable Superuser on ES File Explorer.

mobi.lockscreen.magiclocker-1.apk from /data/app to /system/app.

/system/app. Long press and Choose Permissions (on Root Explorer) or
Properties (on ES File Explorer). Change the Permissions to: Owner: Read
Write Group: Read Others: Read - Click OK to apply the Permissions.
Custom Locker Step 10: Using Google Play Search for MagicLocker Theme -
Download and Install a few Themes that interest you. I use Starry lock
screen and Jelly Bean lock screen.
Custom Locker Step 11: Launch MagicLocker Main, click on Next, Next,
Next - You will now see a popup, click Next and choose Clear Defaults
until it Grays Out, click on the picture of a house (Home Button), you
will be asked which Launcher to Use, you choose MagicLocker Main
<Select Default>.
Custom Locker Step 12: Launch MagicLocker Main, sometimes you are taken
to your regular Launcher App, if this happens repeat Step 11. Select
"Lost Robot Music" and click Apply. Next MagicLocker applies the Theme
and asks if you would like to Customize it, answer Yes or No depending
on your interests. I selected No so we can move on. You can always
customize it latter.
Custom Locker Step 13: Next MagicLocker will show you an example of the
Theme. Unlock it by pulling down the circle in the Android Picture.
Custom Locker Step 14: Now we need to customize the way MagicLocker
reacts when you unlock to the Left which is a Phone Call and when you
unlock to the Right which is a SMS Application. Unlock straight down
just unlocks the screen.
Custom Locker Step 15: OK, lock the Kindle by depressing the Power
Button for 1 brief Second until the screen turns black. Depress the
Power Button briefly again, you will see the lock Screen. Unlock to the
Right, next you are asked which is your SMS Software, I use Go SMS Pro.
Check the Box to "Always use this application". Unlock to the Left, next
you are asked which is your Phone Software, I use Google Voice and
Groove. Check the Box to "Always use this application".
Custom Locker Step 16: Next, let's install the Themes. Find the name of
the Themes you downloaded in Step 8. In this example we picked Starry
lock screen and Jelly Bean lock screen. So go into the Apps. Find Starry
lock screen, click on Starry lock screen and select "Install this
theme". The installer will process and you will be back at the
MagicLocker main Theme Menu. Exit MagicLocker, then go to Apps, find
Jelly Bean lock screen, click on Starry lock screen and select "Install
this theme". The installer will process and you will be back at the
MagicLocker main Theme Menu.
Custom Locker Step 17: Now we need to let MagicLocker know what is your
Default Launcher, so launch MagicLocker, find Preferred Home Launcher,
click on Preferred Home Launcher and select your Launcher, we use Nova
Launcher Prime.
Custom Locker Step 18: Let's eliminate the Ads from ever appearing
again. Open either ES File Explorer or Root Explorer, navigate to
/system/app find the dtcp_apk.ap, long press dtcp_apk.apk select Rename.
Rename dtcp_apk.apk to dtcp_apk.old.
Custom Locker Step 19: Reboot the Kindle.
Custom Locker Step 20: Whenever you reboot, the Kindle Fire Framework starts before anything else, so you
may see the Kindle lock screen at Reboot
IF
you do not let everything start. If you can not wait 5 to 10 minutes,
unlock it and let all the services start, usually 10 minutes is
sufficient. Once you unlock it, you will notice there are no more Ads!
After 10 minutes No Lock Service kicks in and disables the Kindle Fire
Lock Screen. We have attempted to play with the start-up timing and
ended up with Framework missing, so Amazon was smart when they thought
out this function. Also, the service that controls the lock screen is
part of the same group that displays the Kindle Framework when you
unlock it. Finally, if you do wait 10 minutes you will never see the old
Kindle Fire Lock Screen!
That is it! Next we will offer you a solution with the stock lock screen
but you will need high resolution photos to make it function properly.
Be sure to look at our new Backup and Recovery Software for the Kindle
Fire Series:
