So, i've been searching the forums for an hour or so, trying to find a definitive answer for d2g...
I want to completely get rid of the system slider lock when using a pattern lock & widget locker
when i use mylock or no lock, widget locker crashes, and doesn't work anymore.
rooted/fission
any ideas?
just gonna poke at this again, still looking for a solution, not turning anything up
no lock works on my d2g just fine, try a reinstall? are you using the widget?
as far as im aware, i dont think anything exists to get rid of slide lock AND still have a pattern lock. at least thats what i read when i had my droid incredible.
It would be great to just hit the power button and enter pattern to unlock, but i've yet to find anything that works
ps i am also running fission
yea, exactly... that's where i'm at... not even sure if anyone is even working on this

I dont think anyone is working on it (not entirely sure), but it would be great if someone created an app, hell I'll even pay for it, it would be useful as the motorola one is laggy

hate it.
have missed lot of incoming calls due to it.
is there an app to remove it or replace it with something else?
Idk if they replace it, but have you tried lockbot or lock2.0?
i got a post on general with the same question.
I saw a "shake phone" apps on market awhile ago but i forgot what it call.
Maybe you can answer calls by flip/shake it.
try "no lock". It works fine on my X10

this works.
thanks.
also has a widget to quick enable disable the screen lock
BoD No Lock
BoD No Lock Works perfectly to remove the default lock screen and re-enable it when required, and best of all its free and simple and come with a nice GUI widget.
Doesn't solve the problem at all, calls are still being locked.
While i don't mind unlock the screen if i am not receiving calls so it doesn't click any "widgets" on the screen. I think it is worse then not using it.
Shall we start a petition for it? I rather have this fix then having 2.1 or 2.2 android if this persist further.

ya i noticed...the calls still need a 'swipe' to answer.
locale actually have a LP plug-in.
It said to "remove" default LP but i doubt it would work since if no lock doesn't work, it might not work on call as well.
I realize that trackball wake is a system level change but I would like to have an app that still uses the original lockscreen but simply allows the nexus one to be woken with the trackball. Nothing fancy. This would be something that I would think would be popular with alot of phones if done simple and doesn't become a battery hog. All lockscreen replacement apps utilize this feature so it should be usable on froyo. Hopefully someone can whip up something for us missing trackball wake. Thanks.
well, cyanogen has this built in. though if you want froyo, your not going to be using cyanogen yet.

Good idea. Missed it on Desire rom too, but I dont like 3d party lockscreens.

Yeah I know but im thinking its possible to use the stock lockscreen still. It may run smoother that way. And @neok, yes it would be for froyo or ANY phone and/or rom. And truthfully, I may not use it once the real trackball wake gets updated but I would know where to go once the next update breaks trackball wake again. Ya know?
Shameless bump. Any devs out there want to chime in?
+1 to this.
+1 for this
Did you try No Lock ?
There's an app that does exactly what you said, "lockbot 2.0"
I am assuming u mean lockbot free and pro. Its alright, still a little buggy and its not the true original lockscreen. Its still a replacement afaik. The simpler the better I think. Anybody want to drop in to let us know if its possible or not?
Have you tried Widget Locker? It's what I've been using until CM6 comes out...
Widget Locker does not work well. It's slow to respond or just doesn't work at all most of the time (on Froyo at least).
what exactly is wrong with using No Lock for this? it lets you use the trackball to wake the phone in froyo.

Yes, but some of us don't want to wake the device to the homescreen. I prefer wake to the lockscreen, then taking a quick glance to see alerts and time. If I feel like unlocking then I can, if not just put the phone away. I've found "mylock" is a decent workaround for now, though not quite to my liking. Same with flyscreen, with all Widgets and updating turned off

Try this for now. My lock and another freebie widget called No Lock. When using advanced mode of My Lock And the No Lock widget set for locked, power button only will wake to the lock screen. Trackball is disabled. I use this when listening to music with phone in pocket when walking/working out. This way trackball doesn't wake the phone display. With No Lock widget set for unlocked, locking is disabled, so pushing any physical key/trackball wakes to home screen. This works for me till we get get trackball wake working.
this would be a cool app!
Any updates on this thread?
I was trying a great lock widget WigdetLocker lately on my evo froyo. But I noticed one thing I dont really like, hope it's just me not how to setup correctly, hope you guys can help me out.
I realized the app i was on before lock, it's gone after unlocking. For example, I was commenting some friends status on facebook, maybe have to leave for a min, then widget locked my screen, then i came back, and unlock the phone. it just leaded me back to home screen. it's really different from what i used to before i installed widget. I mean, unlock the phone, sense just directly backed to the app before phone locked.
So it's just me, who didnt setup correctly, or it's some con the widget has for current widget. Anyone can provide some help please?
screen timeout .. look in there in settings ......

I checked, there is no something i can set there to fix my problem.
I didnt say something wrong with screen timeout. The problem I have now is that when I unlock the phone(under widgetlocker), it cannot bring me back to the screen i was before i locked phone, or phone automatically locked.
i also have widgetlocker running on my evo and it takes me back to whatever app i was in before the the screen turned off. that is how it worked for me right away, i didnt have to change any settings to get it like that. if i were you i would try uninstalling the app then installing it again and seeing if it performs properly after that
I tried uninstalling this program but the skull unlock screen is still on my phone.. how can i get it back to the factory unlock screen.
UPDATE...
SILLY ME... it was a different app
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.
I am looking for a lockscreen app that supports alternating low and high security measures.
The lockscreen should allow me to start i.e. camera app without any security. But if I were to open gmail app or to unlock phone, I will be required to unlock it with password/pattern.
I'm using SGS2 (I9100 on stock ICS 4.0.3). I've spent a couple of hours investigating but could not find such an app.
The fact that I could not find one baffles me as I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants protection, but not at any cost. Using more than 10seconds to unlock and start camera and waiting for it to open, have made me lose many Kodak-moments. The alternative is to have quick access with no security. So the option with quick access to some apps without security would be great.
+1 For this. I'm sure it's out there somewhere, but I haven't found a way yet. Seems like an obvious feature.
+1 been looking for the same thing today. Cant believe samsung didnt leave in the ICS lockscreen!!! Sure this has direct access to camera without unlock code.
I found widgetlocker but this isnt going to bypass a lock if active.
The most annoying thing is that if you press the sleep button it always locks straight away despite setting to 10mins or whatever.
If you find anything please let us know.
Cheers
