The spinning homescreen carousel thing is pretty irritating... when I unlock I want to be able to use my applications immediately.
No.

You can use the apps immediately, just touch the screen or press a capacitive button.

Is it just me, but unless you use a password or gesture to secure your phone, then the lockscreen is redundant. Is there a Metamorph or .apk to remove it? I mean, tapping the top power button to wake, and THEN swiping the screen is super redundant
I was wondering if anyone knew of an app that would lock the screen rotation. Now, this isn't just a widget i'm looking for. I was hoping that you could lock/unlock screen rotation with the camera hard key. That way, you wouldn't need to see the notification bar or go back to the home screen or slow down the homescreen with a widget. You just hit the button, and it locks. Easy.
In case somebody wants to use widgetlocker but doesn´t because you can unlock by pressing the home button:
Set the LCD Density to 319, that doesn´t destroy the backgrounds in S-Memo and everything else seems to be unaffected as well. But - for whatever reason - widgetlocker doesn´t unlock with the home button any more.
Why don't you just go into Widgetlocker advanced settings, select 'Homehelper', activate 'Homehelper Component' then activate 'Homehelper block home'.
Then the home button will no longer unlock the phone
Widgetlocker now works properly with the right settings to prevent home screen unlocking.
Density has nothing whatsoever to do with it, I wonder whether you updated to Widgetlocker recently or reinstalled/retried it recently because the home button behaviour was fixed a couple of updates ago.
I would have loved to see if home button did not wake up the screen.
I know about Homehelper, I am at 320 right now, Homehelper is on, there are no updates available for Widgetlocker and the home button unlocks.
Ok, forget what I wrote, reinstall fixed it.
Hello,
Is it possible to assign the return key to lock the screen?
I can not find the option.
On Desire HD it was possible to assign the research key.
Does anyone know how to change which apps are shortcuts on the lock screen? Currently, I can drag the lock ring right to unlock, up for phone, left for camera, and down for text messaging. I'd like to replace the down shortcut with Google Voice.
I am running the JB soak test with root.
Thank you!

I asked the same question at androidforums in the Photon Q section there. From the answers I received (or lack thereof), my guess is that they can't be changed without changing the lock screen altogether. Apps like GoLocker (which I believe requires GoLauncher EX also be installed) or WidgetLocker (a paid app) will do the trick, but if there is a way to do it with an out-of-the-box phone, I have yet to find it.
Since I'm here, I'm wondering, does the Photon Q have the ability to turnt he lock screen off? as in, you can set the phone's home screen or whatever you were last doing to come up when you hit the power button to turn the screen back on, instead fo going tot he lock screen. I would assume that ability is retained, but since Moto apparently changed the lock screen, I wonder if they removed that function thoughtlessly, as some are known to do.

yes you can set the phone up in JB to have no lock screen. Hit power button and return to last screen viewed.:good:
So I would like to have a lockscreen similar to the standard swipe to unlock (without pin). My problem is that I have mandatory encryption on my device, so it requires a pin lockdown within at least 14 minutes. But when using this option, powering on before 14 minutes goes straight to the home screen instead of a simple swipe with no pin. I would like a swipe requirement so that my phone wont go ape in my pocket while I am playing golf. Since disabling the home power-on is not an option, I was hoping there might be a secondary swipe to unlock app out there. Anyone know of such an animal?
Nevermind! Found an awesome app called widget locker that does exactly what I needed!
