hey guys,
any of you found an app to replace the swipe unlock for the unlock pattern, rather than having both?
not urgent as this is the best phone I've ever had, but would be a nice touch.

You're right... but it's such a shame don't you think... really no need for the swipe, if you have the pattern....
I thought that was the case...
May look into how hard it will be to create an app to do it
The swipe unlock can be replaced with iphone/hero/donut/eclair style unlocking using the lockbot app. So I think an app should be able to solve this (However I'm not capable of making suck apps).
there is a free app called "No Lock" which simply disables the lock screen apparently. If you have the pattern lock underneath this then i guess you would just get that.
i haven't tried this, but just came across it by accident and it reminded me of this thread
Thanks for that, but no luck
It disables both the lock and the unlock screens (if that makes sense)
It is quite handy if you are at home and have the phone on a table and having a text conversation where you keep turning the screen on and off, but not quite what I wanted
I wonder if this is something that could be built on top of to give us what we want, I will email the Dev of this app and see what they say about it.
I will update when I know more
Right then guys, I have had a response from BoD
I sent them this:
Good afternoon,
I have downloaded the no lock app for android. It is great app, however, there are quite a few users of android who would like to see an app that would remove the lock screen but keep the pattern unlock screen or pin screen etc. Im hoping you are open to suggestions, and as you have created the app to remove the lock screens completely (which is pretty much halfway there), I was wondering if you were thinking of creating an app capable of this?
If you are and would like beta testers, I'm sure i could get a few volenteers together to do so.
Thanks,
To which they responded (very quickly too):
Hi!
Unfortunately there is no way (that I know of) to do that currently.
I hope you'll enjoy the app anyway.
Have a nice day,
So.... It looks like they are not aware of how this can be done, IF it can be done, which is a shame.
Thanks sungrad for pointing the app out though
no probs sorry it wasn't much use
it exists in the security settings in the phone (pattern lock ) just enable it

I have the pattern unlock enabled.
The problem is that to unlock my phone now I have the swipe (with the triangle and the curve) and the pattern unlock. I want the pattern unlock to replace the swipe unlock, rather than be requested as well as the swipe unlock.
It's only a minor issue I have, but it does get annoying when you are using it a lot (text conversation etc)

it is really annoying but i have an idea the application mananger if we could know its name we could deactivate it like what they do with htc devices they deactivated htc sense
nobody has a solution for that?
Not exactly what you're after but there are widgets that toggle the unlock pattern off/on. You could toggle the unlock pattern off when texting so you only have to do the swipe. SwitchPro Widget has this feature but I haven't tested it with X10.
EDIT: Found this. It may be what you're after http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.brandongoodman.smartlock
Bump? I just wonder if anyone found a solution to this? I would really want what the OP states
just wanted to add... be careful with the "pattern lock" ... it literally disables your phone after 5 wrong pattern tries. I nearly did a system wipe just to unlock it.. Luckily for me it accepted my email account with "null" for password to re-enable it
I had that no lock app and it looked nice and handy but it messed with the pattern and slide default unlock when I went to uninstall, all I wanted was the pattern but no matter what way I set it,the swipe unlock would always be there, after loads of reboots and setting/unsetting a lock pattern it still did`nt work, this is after I uninstalled, after I dont know how many reboots even when I had the pattern enabled the swipe would come up first then the pattern, sometime only the swipe, it worked itself out, so be cautious of it....
Hello,
I set my phone up to use the screen lock pattern option but now I cant seem to get rid of it. I was having problems with NoLED and thought the screen lock was interfering with it so I disabled it but even now when I turn my screen off and on it asked for my pattern. I have to put it in but it no longer seems animated.
Obviously this would be a bug and what I need to do to disable the screen lock now?
Whew! You gave me a bit of a scare just now.
I hadn't set a lock pattern yet, so I did to test this for you. Sure enough, I got the same thing as you.
Set a lock pattern, then un-set it by selecting "none" in the Settings/Security/Screen Unlock section. I was still getting the unlock pattern even though it was supposedly non.
I managed to turn it off by going through the set a new pattern process, then setting it to none after confirming the new pattern. Give that a try.
The other thing you might try is to switch it to a pin and see if the pin can be turned off. (I haven't tried that.)
A 4 day NS user and I didn't even know about noled. What a cool idea to fix the annoying no led problem. Thanks for leading me to the app.

Yeah it is, worked well until I added a few more apps. So if you dont have many apps it works well. There must be a conflict somewhere but cant be bothered trying to figure out what other app is affecting it, still might be the phone lock as well. It could also be gingerbread, NoLED might not be updated for it.

Thanks for that, did the same as you and turned it off. NoLED seems to work properly again. Looks like the lock affects NoLED.
Using the latest nightly builds of Cyanogenmod I believe I now have one of the most secure lock screen one could come up with.
It basically involves using a picture of a real PIN lock screen as a background for the lock screen. Then enabling only a gesture to unlock the phone.
This fools the person trying to get into your phone into attempting to enter a PIN code when the real way to unlock is to draw your specific gesture on the phone.
I have attached a picture you can use to do this. On the one I actually use I even added a block of text that tells them who to call if they find my phone so I might get it back.
If anyone wants more specific instructions on how to do this, let me know.
The ONLY drawback to using a gesture lock screen on cyanogenmod is if someone calls the phone. In that event, you need to "slide to unlock" and the phone is then left unlocked. Oh, and no real emergency call, but who needs to do that?

LOL niceeeee
i'll definitely try this on my iPod
emergency call is pretty important.
Awesome idea, just did it to my phone.
From my fist to your face, enjoy.
Good idea. My gestures a star

Okay really not one of my friends is that smart, nor my parents
And I have like 6 gestures on there, on sensitivity 10 so no there's no way ;]

You learn to wipe the screen alot when using the pattern or gesture unlock. But again, the numeric buttons still make them think it's a PIN and not something they draw.
Hi, those of you who use WidgetLocker Lockscreen by TeslaCoil Software app will notice than every time when you unlock your phone from the replacement lock screen, you will see that the phone will flash the default lock screen for a very short period of time (less than a second, but this can be really annoying), but it will generally be able to bring it to the screen where you enter your password or pattern. However, sometime it will fail to bring you to the *"simplified version" of the lockscreen, and will just bring you to the default lock instead.*(I mean "simplified version" because unlike the default lockscreen where you can also have the option to use the Emergency Call Option, they only give you the pattern lock or the password lock. (Those who use this software will know what I mean!)). And here's an idea that comes out of my mind: Can we actually disable the default lockscreen while using the WidgetLocker application?
And one more question: Sometime even WidgetLocker brings me to the right lockscreen and I draw the right pattern, it will just simply say that the pattern is not correct and I need to enter it for several times before it accepts it and sometime after many failed tries, I even need to wait for 30 seconds before trying to entering it again. Can someone also fix this problem? Thanks a lot.
My device Atrix 4G ME860 HKTW version is rooted, so feel free to give suggestions that involve root access
In case anyone is wondering the best combination of settings I've found is:
Face unlock - Slide to unlock
Smart lock screen notifications - On
Wake up device - On
Now go to Notification management, Batch management, hit the 3 dots:
Hide content notification - On
Now enjoy notifications whenever you pick up your screen. Swipe up to unlock or swipe notifications away. If anyone else picks up your phone, they can see notifications but not content.
Hope you find this useful.
I don't recommend using AOD ... as of current firmware, position of everything is totally static. Could be susceptible to burn in.

OMG, thank you very much dude.
I go to turn off now !!
That can't be right? I am sure I remember seeing mine move?
OK after placing a ruler on the text I can confirm the text does move. It moves down a few pixels every minute jump until about half way down the screen, and then back up again every few minutes.
+1, it does move just like Samsung AOD
I like your setup! I had auto face unlock before but it's actually useful to be able to see the lock screen a lot of the time (like a 'whats new' screen).
I find that whatever lock screen notification access setting I use, notification content is restricted on the lock screen until I show my face. Is this a known bug? Or am I doing something wrong? At the moment I can't even, for example, let my friend skip a track on Spotify from my lock screen.
Go to Notification management, Batch management, hit the 3 dots:
Display all notifications
Does this help?

You're indeed correct.
It moved so slightly that I didn't notice.
@Kruzkal Thanks for posting about this, very useful indeed.

I'm facing this problem too, i have all APPs and even notification settings to show content on lockscreen but they don't show up. What's the trick in here??!! I'm wasted of going around on this 1000000 (sub)menus for the solution but nothing, it doesn't show the content on lockscreen.
Is this related to face unlock? Or is it something else? It's my first Huawei phone, i'm still trying to figure out everything to make this beast run as i want.

For me:
Settings -> security & privacy -> face unlock -> "smart lock screen notifications" set to OFF. Else enabling face unlock breaks notifications.
On a related note, I've also disabled Huawei's power optimisation nonsense with the batch mode. Oreo does a good job of managing background stuff by itself and this nonsense just breaks everything.
i have the same problem as above....ive tried everything....very strange!
My smart lock screen notifications is set of off btw
No app notifications are showing on lock screen

Ok so I posted this problem originally and the solution suggested by stevo_125 worked for me!
Basically you need to do two things:
- Turn off smart lock screen notifications in Face Unlock
- Turn on show notifications on lock screen from the three dot menu in notification management
Then go back and make sure they are still both set correctly.

Both are there..its very strange..i went through all the menus so many times
must be some kind of bug
The only thing which is killing me, is that you are not able to read the whole notifications in the unlock screen.. Just a few words.
I've just asked to support and they told me "not phone features"
