Question Is it possible to remove the "Swipe screen to unlock" text? - Samsung J710F

[rezaking886]

Hello everyone
I was wondering if there is any way to remove the "Swipe screen to unlock" text from my Samsung J710F's lock screen.
Android version is 8.1.0
Samsung Experience version is 9.5

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Android Central! It's highly unlikely, short of installing a custom ROM. @mustang7757 might know better, but this is a pretty old phone ...

Welcome to AC!
So you want read texts on your lock screen? You have password, pin, biometrics set-up on the lock screen?

I have a pin, although they keypad appears only after swiping the screen.
Before swiping the screen, though, there is only the clock, a text that says, "Swipe screen to unlock," and the wallpaper in the background. I was wondering if it's possible to remove the text and let only the clock and the wallpaper background be there on the lockscreen.

thanks in advance

Not in the stock software, no.

Is there a way to modify the stock software?
I've read something about editing a "framework-res.apk" in some other thread, though it was said that there is a bootloop risk

Is this after the phone reboots?
I wouldn't try modify the stock firmware unless you know what your doing as your not going find lot of help on a older device.

nope, it's just always there; a text at the bottom of the lockscreen that reads "Swipe screen to unlock"

Hmm unfortunately I can't test this because I have newer Samsung devices that changed over Android versions on Android 14
