[Q] Android Lockscreen - General Questions and Answers

Hey there,
Probably a stupid question but when I add a pattern lock to my phone I lose the default lock screen.
When pressing the unlock button:
Without pattern lock - there are two sliders, unlock and sound on/off
With pattern lock - it goes straight the enter pattern thing.
I want to have a pattern, but also have the sliders, how can I do this?
Cheers!

I don't think you can.

i don't think you can either.. guess you must make a sacrifice

[Q] Bypass lockscreen and go to pattern lock

Is there a way to bypass the swipe up lock screen after initially turning the screen on and going directly to the pattern lock screen? Annoying to have to unlock twice. Automatically did this when enabling pattern lock on my previous phone.
Any apps for this?

if you disable the sense lock screen you will have my problem... where there is still a 'slide to unlock' screen to which you cannot get rid of either... you can try a program 'antilock' and set it to skip the lock screen... but it kind of swipes the screen for you and you still see the screen then it dissappears
painful i know but this kind of just how it is
As above there isn't much you can do about it with the stock sense rom. Sense just isn't designed that way. Rejoicing the sense lock screen replaces it with the aosp one and also breaks the alarm clock.
On the other hand Cyanogenmod lets you disable the lock screen when pattern lock is enabled and many other lock screen customizations. If you aren't into rooting your phone its not really an answer though.

Thanks guys. I am rooted, but no mods for this yet...
I too would like to remove lock screen so it can go straight to lock pattern. if you remove htclockscreen.apk you cant see who is calling you until you unlock screen. I think I read somewhere its because there no aosp roms out there for the sensation yet.
cant wait for cm on sensation...

Look in the edit build promp thread in dev section set the associated press menu to unlock string to true ans reboot.. Then just press the menu button which will rid the slide to unlock page almost instantly thereby allowing for faster access... I find it the best work around for now

is are a way to disable the regular HTC lockscreen but...

I want to enable pattern lock but I want to disable the HTC lockscreen.
Right now if I enable the pattern lock and if I wanted to unlock my phone, I still see the regular htc drag circle to unlock before it goes to the pattern screen. So I'd basically have to lock screens that I have to unlock.
Is there away around this?

[Q] Pin lock with selection

One thing I can't figure out... when there is no security lock enabled on the device, you get a lock selection screen when you unlock.. (ie.. camera, email, txt shortcuts).
If you enable PIN lock or anything else, that selection screen doesnt present itself and only goes straight to the main screen.
Anyone know if there is a way to combine these 2 features so you can still have the selection screen but have it secured with PIN?

[Q] Jelly Bean Lock Screen - Allow slide and pattern?

I just updated from Gingerbread to Jelly Bean. In GB I had the pattern set on the lock screen. After I input the pattern, it would require me to swipe to unlock. At the time I thought this was annoying that I had to do both.
With Jelly Bean, the lock screen shows the weather and calendar as well as allowing me to swipe in different directions to access different apps. I love this new feature. However, I also want my phone to be secured so I would like to have the pattern security on. Ideally when pressing the power button I would be presented with the "slide" lock screen with the calendar/weather and choice of sliding a direction for apps. Then when I slide to unlock or go to an app, it would ask for the pattern security before letting me in. This would allow me to secure the phone and entire directly where I want to go. It would also allow me to quickly see the weather info or calendar without entering a pattern first.
Does anyone know if this is possible to do? I love the slide lock screen options, but I feel the need to secure the phone with a pattern/pin/password as well.
It pretty much works just like you described. The only exception being that after you enter the pattern lock you don't have to swipe.

I know, but I'd like to have the swipe screen there first. That way I can swipe directly into an app and/or see the calendar/weather before I have to draw the pattern. So when I press the power button, I'd like to be presented with the swipe screen first, then after swiping to an app or to unlock, it would ask me to supply the pattern/password/pin. That way, I would get the advantages of the swipe screen and the security of the pattern/password/pin.
I'm just wondering if there is a way to force it to work like this, but I'm guessing there isn't.

Simple idea to have Pattern Lock AND retain Quick Launch shortcuts

Hey guys
So I was torn between pattern lock for its security, and quick unlock for its ability to quickly launch apps from the unlock screen.
I thought of a simple idea to integrate the quicklaunch into the pattern lock.
The idea is this- if you hold your finger on the last dot of your unlock pattern, a quick launch menu would appear. If instead, you quickly release after you swiped your pattern, the phone would unlock.
Now I know that we can't just hack the main lock screen, but I wonder if this could be implemented as a type of widget that could be then used on things such as WidgetLocker.
Anyone have any thoughts or ideas on this?
