Custom Rom for Media (no lockscreen possible)? - Huawei P10 Questions & Answers

Hi, I switched to an LG Velvet a few months ago, however, instead of getting rid of my old Huawei p20, I instead converted it to my dedicated media streaming device. Specifically, I use it exclusively with my CRT television as a means to stream 4:3 content from my server through the VLC app. Overall, I absolutely love it, however I have one minor issue that I hope to resolve. My problem is that despite the phone's settings toggled to disabled all sleep functions, the phone when in desktop mode/EMUI, when not in use for a prolonged period of time will display the lock screen on the actual desktop screen, while the phone itself will appear unlocked, meaning I'll have to physically get up and toggle/cycle the on button.
Using my bluetooth mouse does not seem to work for the lock screen either. I was wondering if there was any way to remove this screen entirely or a custom rom that is better suited for a streaming/desktop mode in mind. I rather like the EMUI GUI which scales pretty well to a 4:3 ratio, so anything similar, minus the lockscreen nag would be ideal. I've attached a screenshot of said screen.

Screen shot software

Anyone know where i can download some? Just want to take a screen shot of my Tilt.
Google for GetPDAScreen. It's software that you run from your pc while connected over activesync. I prefer it over most of them that you install on your phone and then have to tranfer the files back over to you pc when you want to upload them or something, but there are quite a few of them if you want to install it to your phone.
getpdascreen is probably is the best one, it doesn't need to be installed on the phone or your PC.
I use Ilium Software Screen Capture. Its free (well i guess it is since I've never paid for it). It does get installed on your phone. So, the disadvantage there is I can't take a screenshot of it when the key's are locked, i.e. my screen saver...
Update: Actually, I just noticed it has a "Timer" function, so it lets me take a snapshot on a delay, so I could just get a pic of my screensaver...haha

Thanks did the Illium software. It's not bad. I used to run software on my 8125 was really great can't remember. I will work with this. Thanks again. Pics for giggles...

You can also take a look at My Mobiler. It does a LOT more than just screen captures. You can navigate your phone from your desktop PC.

[Q] What do you do with your Google glasses?

I need some ideas.
Still figuring that out as i go..
At the moment, I mainly use my Google Glass to record stories from my older relatives and do in car video recording (had a gopro previously), like the notifications via IFTTT about when it is snowing or raining. Also get my google now alerts, email, txts, phone call alerts on it too. Also have been listening to my google music with it too while walking about and of course the navigation features are cool too.
I like not having to pull out phone; even though sometimes it's easier. Voice control is a bit weird to get used to initially but is pretty decent. My biggest geek use of it though is controlling my Philips Hue bulbs by voice with it. Some sample pics (vignettes = overlays of photo and glass display, very fun!).
Still a lot to be improved but now that more and more people have it; we are seeing new apps each week.

Multi-Tasking Glitch - Internet Browsers blacked out on the bottom of the screen

tI've been using my Note 8 for about a week and a half and I've encountered a really annoying bug that wasn't there on the first day.
When I'm in any kind of multi-tasking screen, any Internet Browser on the bottom half of the screen is blanked out. So for example, in the two screenshots below, I have Amazon and NewEgg open in Samsung Browser and Chrome at the same time. Whichever one is on the bottom is completely blanked out. If I switch which app is on the bottom, it switches which one will be blacked out.
In my phone, it looks black, but in the screenshots below it looks white.
Anyone know what this could be? Admittedly, it could be a lot of different things--I've been toying with Bx Actions, Bk package disabler / ADB, Nova Launcher, my settings, etc...
As it stands now, the rest of the phone works great, but I may have to factory reset my device.
It would also help if someone can tell me how to reliably create a bunch of restore points so I can move in iterations next time I set everything up.
Thanks

What launchers support landscape mode (with the dock at the bottom of the screen)?

I'm one of the few people who almost always holds the phone in landscape orientation; even when talking on the phone with Bluetooth... especially, with the large high-res screen of the Note 9. I'm able to do this with One UI (and also the older launcher on Oreo)... however, I'd like to try others with more customizations.
The first launcher I tried was Nova Prime. To my surprise, it now has an arbitrary limitation which does NOT allow having the dock at the bottom of the screen in Landscape mode... even if there's room for it. Instead, it puts the dock at the right edge of the screen... which looks really bad IMO. I used to be able to do this with Nova launcher, even on my old Note 4. Not anymore.. I've already confirmed this limitation with other Nova users who use a Note 9.
For those of you that are using 3rd party launchers (other than Nova), I'm curious if you could please confirm that you get the dock at the bottom of your landscape screen ...like the screenshot below. I'm thinking about Action Launcher.

Question Music Control Banner on Lock Screen Does Not Contain Fwd/Rwnd functionality.

Previously I had a Redmi Note 7 Pro in which I was able to fast forward or rewind songs in the lock screen by seeking the song playback bar on the lock screen just like in iOS. It was a comfortable feature. But now with the Xiaomi 11T Pro, I'm not able to find the functionality. I'm restricted to just play next/previous or pause the song. This issue is present irrespective of the music app I use (Spotify, Amazon Music). I'm not able to pinpoint whether it is a bug first of all. I mean, did Android scrap that feature? If not then is the issue related with MIUI or Android OS? One thing to note is that I'm able to use the functionality from the notification panel by swiping down when the phone is unlocked. It is a bummer that I have to unlock my phone each time to get to my favourite part of a song. It would be very helpful if someone can provide me with a workaround or a fix or a change in settings.
I'm attaching the screenshots where you can clearly see the difference below the play/pause button.
