On the new nexus one it is possible to use a personal "sign" to unlock the phone like doing an L with the finger on the screen instead of just slide the slidebar...
Do you know if anything approching exist on the HD2?
Search for ThrottleLock.
Does anyone know how to make ThrottleLock your primary unluck app?
ThrottleLock has some problems. First I had to unlock the normal way, then throttlelock appeared. I don't want to unlock 2 times everytime.
Also, one time the HTC unlock app and Throttlelock were fighting when someone called me, the phone lost his brains and didn't let me unlock. I was unable to pick up the phone. It's a phone above all damnit

First I'd better cover myself - yes I have searched first and not got the answers!
I'd like to be able to lock my phone so that someone who comes along to try and use it is prompted with a password. Sounds simple, doesn't it?
However, I don't want to be prompted to enter a password every time I turn it on. This means I need to be able to choose to lock it or not when I feel like it. Having to set a password and unset it each time is a real pain.
The old solutions to make this easier - Picture Password, Kai's lock tool etc don't work at all on WM6.
The new, great slidy tool that looks like iPhone doesn't do it either.
Does anyone else have this feature or a workaround? It sounds so simple and it's what I do with my PC all the time. Thanks.
some older pda's had fingerprint readers for that purpos
need to know if anyones knows knows how to write a program or script to unlock stock 6.5 slide to unlock on touch pro with a finger swipe simulation...
not giving up huh? might not need a simulation or anything like that. you just need to know what the lock process is and kill it, or there might be a command line switch that can be run to stop it too. when i was trying this i was unsuccessful. and i can tell you, just changing all the registry values that flip during locking does NOT unlock it, but it does screw up your caller ID lol
well i tried all that i can...i dont think that it is a process...think it built into the main shell...
it is, check your email. i was playing around with that program which lets you view the processes on your phone from the pc and no new processes are launched when the phone locks
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....
I have searched everywhere and I cannot find how to stop the normal unlock method and ONLY use the pattern to unlock the screen. I don't like having two unlock screens and I would like to use the pattern unlock. Is this possible without being built into a rom? I would prefer to remove the necessary files from the phone instead of installing new apps but anything is better than nothing right now.
On my hero i attempted to remove the sense unlock screen only to be greeted with the vanilla lockscreen.
I also tried using screenmodewidget but it disables both the lockscreen and pattern unlock.
Yeah, apps like "No Lock" do the same thing. Ugh.
Is this possible within a custom rom? anyone?
Id like this also, the pattern screen is a much sleeker looking screen than the standard unlock
it really makes no sense to have both
but no one can tell me how to make it just pattern lol

LOL, i didn't realize that it showed the htc thing still. it shouldn't. it should just be the pattern showing when you turn the screen on.
sorry, until someone actually writes a 2.1 ROM for this phone (i think the only reason someone hasn't is because the 4g kernel stuff hasn't been released yet, even tho 2.1 aosp has), you may be stuck with that...
weird tho...i don't think my girlbuddy's incredible does that, and it's sense too...
here's a quick work-around to kind of have only pattern lock. So when the normal lock screen comes on, just hit the "Menu" key and that'll go away, now you have just the pattern lock. This way it seems quicker for me.
BTW, i'm using the nonSense ROM, so it comes with standard Droid lock with the lock on left and speaker on right.

Might be nice except....

I looked around, but couldn't find an answer to this. Sorry if this has been asked before; you can close this and point me in the right direction if so.
Is there a way to change the backup/failsafe after the face unlock without redoing the face unlock? What I mean is, can I change from a pattern to a PIN without resetting the entire face unlock? Or can I change the pattern or PIN without resetting it?
I ask this because I have had problems with people going through my phone in the past, so the combination of a new job (with lots of confidential emails, etc.) and crazy girlfriends has made me want to make my phone as secure as possible. While the face unlock + blink keeps it pretty safe, I want to change the backup pattern/PIN from time to time. People see me enter it when the face unlock fails, or once or twice I've had to give it to someone to use my phone when I was across the room or outside or something. Once someone has this pattern/number, the face unlock + blink security measure can be bypassed very easily. Since I do the Improve Face Matching a few times to make the feature better, I'd prefer to not have to redo this every time I need to reset the backup pattern/PIN.
Thanks.
(edit: bump)
Bump...
Bump. I'm guessing this isn't possible considering it's an old thread that has yet to be answered. Either that or it's in the wrong section LOL.
Maybe so, but I really want it answered.
