WidgetLocker disables Kindle Fire's stock lockscreen but doesn't have the security lock. Go Locker has the security lock (pin or pattern) but does not disable the stock locker. No ideal solution?
Have you tried using something like No Lock from the market to disable the stock lock screen?

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.
Using Go Lanucher EX with Go Locker, which provides for a different lock screen. Problem is the stock screen also come on so I have to go through 2 unlock screens..
Tried different things but no luck to total disable the stock one from launching.
I used NO LOCK from the Android Market. Very simple, very effective.
Thanks, that works great when just using the stock version only. But the stock screen still shows up when the go-locker version is enabled. Locks like an issue with the go-locker app..
Ya that's a issue with GoLocker, I'm using Widget Locker and doesn't show the stock lock screen at all. Plus they have the Sense 3.5 lock screen so I have the shortcuts
Problem my be resolved. I reported and after getting updates to Go Launcher and Go Locker, problem no longer happens.
Just an FYI - the "four key" go-locker widget has 4 shortcuts also. very nice..
I'm kind of obsessive as to how perfect things are, so here we go.
With WidgetLocker on my N4, if I have a lockscreen with WidgetLocker, then the default pattern lock, before the pattern lock shows up, it flashes to the home screen, then the pattern lock shows up, which bothers me.
Is there a way to fix this, or as a workaround, an app that automatically locks every app/shortcut with a pattern lock?
Thanks!
I just discovered, after setting smart lock with both trusted face and place, that if I lock the screen using an app (LockScreen for example, which I have set as a Nova shortcut), when I turn my screen back on smart lock will not work...
The same happens if I use the Greenify hibernate + lock screen shortcut. Has anyone had the same problem and found a workaround? I'm really used to lock the screen with a shortcut but I'd also like to use smart lock
Thanks in advance!

You're manually locking the phone which over rides the smart lock functionality. No work around at this time, that I know of.
