Thanks Josef.
Need to hide or remove lock button because our users may accidentally press the lock and creates trouble if the app will force to front screen that cover the unlock screen. When this happens, users don't know how to unlock the unit.
I hope there is an utility that could install direct.

Hi
I recommend you make your app a kiosk mode app, so the user cannot access anything else accidently or not. That willbe now much easier than finding and hiding the lock button on the home screen (as I dont know any code that already does that).
I have found one post at xda developers where the lock button is removed by changing the themes settings.txt. I currently can not verify this. But if so, that would be easy to implement.

I am sorry, I cannot find it any more. It was talking about a themes folder and changing the settings file in there.
Sorry
