[Possible solution] Disable lockscreen on sensation

So i was thinking of disabling the ring lock screen on sensation so that when you turn on the screen, it takes you to home right away.
For now, there is no such an option to permanently disable it. But i realized that a lot of third-party software have this ability. For example, if u try Go SMS PRO, it gives u an option to pop up a window when you get a new txt which bypasses the lock screen, meaning that you will not see the ring lock screen when the phone is turned on.
So i am sure there is a way to tweak the sensation to get rid of the lock screen. At the very least, we can trace how GO SMS does this and make a small program or patch out of it....
but is there any one who knows how to do so?

Wait for CM7

Isn't there widget called "No lock" or something like that.... I thought that worked, not sure though, I do like that ring lockscreen.
Try this ?

I remember uninstalling a lockscreen on a sensless Rom thru titanium backup. Try it out but make sure to back it up first.

Correct. I've been using No Lock since my HD2. Works great.

I just turn it OFF using Elixir 'Lock' switch and then using the 'Lock Screen Widget' to soft OFF & can use volume or power button to turn ON

no lock works fine. but im wondering how much battery it drains while its running in the background....

Ders is a way to disable it. Go to system/app and look for htclockscreen.apk and rename it to htclockscreen.bck this disables it and give u the orignal android lockscreen and if u wish to go back to sense 3 lockscreen simply rename the .bck back to .apk

but i dont want any lock screens at all

I just downloaded the No Lock app and trying it out. It seems to work great for disabling the ring lock screen, at least it seems like I have found some a way to not have to fight to unlock my Sensation right now.

Does it also remove the PIN lock screen as well? I just want to get rid of the unnecessary ring screen, but still want security on my phone.

I just tested all three methods of security and yes with the pattern, pin, and password the No Lock disables all of them. So when you are using No Lock your device will not lock in any way unless you doable No Lock. Or if you use the lock widget it will look your device but it ask for administrative rights first.
Now there might be another app out there that will disable just the default lock screen but still allow you to use the pin, pattern, or the password. But if you still want some security you can try Smart App Protector (app lock). It is on the Android market and it is free. It allows you to lock any application you want to be secure with a pin, pattern, or password. I am about to test it out myself.

If you're using Android Revolution HD there are files you can flash to disable it

I tried No Lock, but nuked it after trying it out.
It had the function I wanted but had a bad (for me) sideeffect.
On incoming call, I reached down in my pocket and one or two of my
sausagefingers accidentally denied the call while picking the phone out
of my pocket. Everytime.
My Alzheimerbrain just could'nt remember to pick up the phone gently-ish.
So I'm doomed to be semibound by phone.

Security override?

I have my corperate emails linked with my phone which requires me to have my screenlock password enabled for it to work. I hate having to put in my code every time I look at my phone. Is there any way to bypass this security requirement, like tell the server that I have this feature enabled when it is not? Thanks.

Have you tried the app No Lock? It's free in the Market. Basically it disables the lock screen. It's been a while since I've used it, but if I remember correctly you can still have a security password set. No Lock just never lets the phone actually lock. You can enable/disable it easily with a widget on your homescreen.
I used to use it because I wanted to be able to wake the phone using the volume keys. Since I found a mod to allow that and still have the lock screen enabled, I stopped using the app.

Look I'm the android general forums. They have a way to bypass it, but mind you that if your IT department finds out you can get into trouble for it.

The no lock app prevents the lock from turning on if the screen goes black due to inactivity, and suits my need perfectly. I can push the power button and the lock comes on. Thanks for the help and advice.

[Q] Bypassing Pin Unlock for certain apps from lock screen

I have a screen-unlock pin set up on my S3. I also have 4 apps with shortcuts on my lock screen. I would like to be able to access one (or all of those apps) from the lock screen without entering my pin to unlock it (specifically camera, camcorder, and/or sound recorder) in case speed is essential (get the quick pic, record an event suddenly, etc), but then not be able to get into Android without entering pin.
For example, I'd like to take a picture, so I hit the power button and the screen turns on with the lock screen showing. I then tag the Camera icon. It immediately goes to the camera, which I can then use. But, if I try to access the Gallery from the Camera app, it would prompt me for my pin (unless I launched the camera while the phone was already unlocked).
Is there any way to make that happen?

Bump.

Won't work without some serious coding effort. Even with WidgetLocker it will prompt you for your pin if you put a shortcut to the camera app to the lockscreen.

yarg...am I the only one that would appreciate this feature?

The Lock Screen Style for Productivity not working

I have the T-mobile HTC One S and I notice my Lock Screen Style for Producivity is not working.
I got upcoming appointments, miss phone call and new email and none of them show up on the lock screen.
I have no data plan on mine and I use the Wifi. I dont know if that is the problem or not.
Anyone have any clue?

Rooted or not?

Did you enable the productivity lockscreen under personalization?

The phone is not rooted.
OK, now I did a test and I call from another phone and I can see on thte lock screen I miss the call.
I guess it is working.

All of those things should show up on any lockscreen...just saying

I'm using Hi App Lock. The only problem I have with this app is quite often it is not functioning after the phone is restarted. Other than that it is a fine app.
