I installed MIUI on my Desire but didn't like the fact that there was no way of using Pattern Lock only - it was only standard lock OR standard lock + pattern lock.
So I came back to CM7, installing newest nightly after full wipe. The problem is, that now I have exactly the same issue with CM7 where I can either have pattern lock after regular lock, or just the regular sliding lock.
What is wrong and how to fix it?
SOLUTION:
I forgot there are two separate Lockscreen settings screen in CM7. It was enough to disable the main one in dedicated CM Settings.

I've tried running some other lock screens because i hate the stock one. none of them work. They work for awhile and then suddenly you'll use the new one and the stock one will be there after words so essentially the phone is double locking.
Anyone know a way to fix this so i can use a different lock screen and not have it double lock.
I use lock 2.0 its $2 on the market and i never had the double lock issue. If you use a task killer make sure that you exclude it
I find that if you install NoLock from the market and enable a pattern lock it disables the stock lockscreen, at least in my experience.
if you just enable a pattern lock it will disable the default one
I use widgetlocker.
It's $2 on the market, and development is active on it.
It works very nicely too, and allows you to clutter your lock screen with widgets. lol

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I just got this and installed it and within the first hr i had 2 lock screens anyway around this i really want this working i cant stand the oem lock screen.
If you're still looking for a fix, try out GOTO Lockscreen. I switched from my NoLock idea to it, it does a good job of keeping the crappy stock lockscreen away.
It has a nice rotary slider with shortcuts at intervals on the slider, and a couple of other nice features. I think you would like it.

Does anyone know of a widget that can toggle the lock screen pattern on or off? I tried this one called Fantasy LockScreen which doesn't work on Froyo 2.2.
Code:
market.android.com/details?id=com.curvefish.widgets.fantasylockscreen
try widgetsoid, it has a toggle for pattern lock along with many others.

I have Widgetsoid and the pattern lock widget doesn't do what I want.
Basically I'd like something like an auto-rotate on/off setting but for the lock screen pattern. So, if I'm at home, I'd toggle the lock pattern off and toggle it back on when I go out (as long as I remember).
i think extended controls in the market does this....i've never used it but the option is there to enable and disable the lockscreen pattern
Thanks planedoc, I tried Extended Controls but the lockscreen pattern widget doesn't work in 2.2. Google disabled access to toggling that option in the Froyo update.
'No Lock' works with Froyo - it simply overrides the screen lock.
Or DelayedLock is under development - it overrides the screen lock for a predefined time interval.
DelayedLock does allow 2.2 users to override the lock screen pattern/password, although it does bother me that now every button on my phone will wake it up leaving it prone to accidental pocket presses.
There also doesn't seem to be a way to retain the slide to unlock, but only disable the pattern/pass lock from what the dev said.
The app's built-in simple slide lock feature is nice, but not very attractive coming from the Sense UI screen slide lock. I posted suggestions in the dev's original post about DelayedLock.
I actually found another app called "Extend Lock Time" (for Sense only?) which allows you to specify a longer screen pattern/password timeout in seconds. It's very simplistic - could use a UI update to make changing values easier - but will work for now.
I have been using lockpattern onoff which i got from the market. Im using it on cm7 om my nexus and works great for me. I dont know if this is what u were looking for or not. It should work on 2.2 cuz i was using with rods miui rom and worked for me.
LockPattern OnOff doesn't seem to work with the stock Sense ROM (UK version) on 2.2 for now... hopefully someone will find a way around it.
I like using the Pattern Lock feature and think this is sufficient when unlocking it.
When I enable Pattern Lock I still have a swipe to perform before, so I have to swipe and then do the Pattern Lock. Is there anyway to remove the swipe?
Thanks.
CM7 based roms should have an option to disable the lockscreen when lockpattern is enabled. Works in HyperSensation, not sure about other roms.
Don't think it's possible on the stock however.
Is there any possibility to see screen with pattern request just after I turn on screen? Because now the first thing I have to do is to pull ring to the center of screen and only after that i can finally draw pattern.
Can I somehow skip the screen with the ring?
I'll be appreciate for any solution
Could you specify on what ROM are you?
Is the lockscreen stock or through 3rd party application - like GoLocker or widgetlocker?
I'm on CM9 and I go to System settings->LockScreen->Screen Security->Screen Lock->Pattern - draw pattern and that is it.
Of course I could
Now I'm on Android Revolution HD 6.6.7 and I don't use any of 3rd party app. I have stock lockscreen (Sense 3.6)
today I do not have access to Sense based device.
I will check tomorrow (will have access to 3 different Sense based devices), but I'm guessing that this could be Sense limitation, as on the lock screen you have dock with icons for quick access... could be, if have lock screen without them, then pattern would be brought up instantly...
BTW, you can check it by yourself right now
If I don't use lock screen shortcuts pattern request still don't brought instantly but thanks for trying to help
Look, here is similar thread- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673508
seems that it is not possible on Sense ROMs
In CM7, when pattern lock screen is selected, the default slide lock is disabled. However, in MIUI GingerBread, it doesn't, which caused double lockscreen.
How can I edit (or replace) MIUI lock to behave like CM7?
