ok, on lock we have shorcuts, some basic info, notifications. On home, notifications are 1 swipe away, and we have ambiences, and some basic informations. Not much happens on lock. Mostly I doubletap and swipe and swipe. So: Why not open directly to home? That would save us some swiping. But: Give us shortcuts in home, please.

There is a way to disable it and yes this makes scene, if you gonna use the home screen. It did it also that way before. Now I give up to use the home screen, so I use the lockscreen again.
ssh to your device, install mce-tools
pkcon refresh
pkcon install mce-tools
after this just run one command on the command line:
mcetool -M unlock
all done. After double tap you reach the home screen.
to go back to the previous state, just run once:
mcetool -M show-unlock-screen

A lock screen is there to lock. So you can enable a pin lock so that you will land on the lock screen and need to enter a pin before accessing the apps or notifications.
A lock screen is there to lock.
A slight correction. A lock screen is there to prevent an accidental unlock. Setting up a lock code is an additional layer but without a lock screen, a phone can be easily unlocked by accident in the bag or pocket since the power button sticks out.
You can set up the double tap to wake up the phone straight to the home screen instead of the lock screen as per @poddl's answer.

In case somebody missed it, double-pressing the power button skips straight to the home screen.

From the home screen you can reach with one swipe:
Could you explain why you need to swipe a lot to do something from the lock screen whereas everything is one swipe away? Thanks.
you are right... everything's ready from lock. I wasn't aware of bottom swipe. (as apps show no ''handle', which looks better, the feature is hidden. Also I missed the one tap to show first row) Still puzzles me home and lock are so similar, I'll try to disable lock. Probably I'll miss shortcuts soon.
danfin ( 2015-09-16 16:57:23 +0200 )editThe lock screen is there to avoid the phone does weird things in your pocket if for some reason it happens to be unlocked, or you forgot to turn off the screen before putting it there. Even the old keyboard phones had a key combination with a lock to for exactly that reason.

Yes the lock screen was good as i could with a half pull of an application see the infos like the time with big letters. I don't likebit with small letters
I don't lock my phone, you may think I'm stupid but it's my choice. As such the lock screen is useless, no matter what I want to do I will need to swipe away from the lock screen to do it. I know I can double click the power button to go to the notifications screen but I would like an option to make either the home screen or the notification screen the default when I open the phone with either the double tap on the screen or a single power button click.
People who use a pin code etc... may want the lock screen, that's fine. I'm talking about phones with no lock enabled.

Exactly, why would we ever need to land on that horrible lock screen. Are Jolla devs using the Jolla themselves?
Starting to wonder...
