Make sure you watch as this lockscreen is SICK! =D
Double tap off is the best thing on the Stock lock screen
This app cannot be double tapped off though
The app also has some serious issues actually locking the phone. Sometimes my lock pattern will come up, most of the time the phone just unlocks without the lock pattern...
interesting....
Anything not stock will always have these security issues, there's always a workaround where anyone can access the phone. or if you wake the phone the 3rd party lock will not even load fast enough to be secure, phone just unlocks.
Stock or nothing,:good:
Bruh I know.
It gets annoying sometimes, but I like the simplicity of it.

hey guys,
any of you found an app to replace the swipe unlock for the unlock pattern, rather than having both?
not urgent as this is the best phone I've ever had, but would be a nice touch.

You're right... but it's such a shame don't you think... really no need for the swipe, if you have the pattern....
I thought that was the case...
May look into how hard it will be to create an app to do it
The swipe unlock can be replaced with iphone/hero/donut/eclair style unlocking using the lockbot app. So I think an app should be able to solve this (However I'm not capable of making suck apps).
there is a free app called "No Lock" which simply disables the lock screen apparently. If you have the pattern lock underneath this then i guess you would just get that.
i haven't tried this, but just came across it by accident and it reminded me of this thread
Thanks for that, but no luck
It disables both the lock and the unlock screens (if that makes sense)
It is quite handy if you are at home and have the phone on a table and having a text conversation where you keep turning the screen on and off, but not quite what I wanted
I wonder if this is something that could be built on top of to give us what we want, I will email the Dev of this app and see what they say about it.
I will update when I know more
Right then guys, I have had a response from BoD
I sent them this:
Good afternoon,
I have downloaded the no lock app for android. It is great app, however, there are quite a few users of android who would like to see an app that would remove the lock screen but keep the pattern unlock screen or pin screen etc. Im hoping you are open to suggestions, and as you have created the app to remove the lock screens completely (which is pretty much halfway there), I was wondering if you were thinking of creating an app capable of this?
If you are and would like beta testers, I'm sure i could get a few volenteers together to do so.
Thanks,
To which they responded (very quickly too):
Hi!
Unfortunately there is no way (that I know of) to do that currently.
I hope you'll enjoy the app anyway.
Have a nice day,
So.... It looks like they are not aware of how this can be done, IF it can be done, which is a shame.
Thanks sungrad for pointing the app out though
no probs sorry it wasn't much use
it exists in the security settings in the phone (pattern lock ) just enable it

I have the pattern unlock enabled.
The problem is that to unlock my phone now I have the swipe (with the triangle and the curve) and the pattern unlock. I want the pattern unlock to replace the swipe unlock, rather than be requested as well as the swipe unlock.
It's only a minor issue I have, but it does get annoying when you are using it a lot (text conversation etc)

it is really annoying but i have an idea the application mananger if we could know its name we could deactivate it like what they do with htc devices they deactivated htc sense
nobody has a solution for that?
Not exactly what you're after but there are widgets that toggle the unlock pattern off/on. You could toggle the unlock pattern off when texting so you only have to do the swipe. SwitchPro Widget has this feature but I haven't tested it with X10.
EDIT: Found this. It may be what you're after http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.brandongoodman.smartlock
Bump? I just wonder if anyone found a solution to this? I would really want what the OP states
just wanted to add... be careful with the "pattern lock" ... it literally disables your phone after 5 wrong pattern tries. I nearly did a system wipe just to unlock it.. Luckily for me it accepted my email account with "null" for password to re-enable it
I had that no lock app and it looked nice and handy but it messed with the pattern and slide default unlock when I went to uninstall, all I wanted was the pattern but no matter what way I set it,the swipe unlock would always be there, after loads of reboots and setting/unsetting a lock pattern it still did`nt work, this is after I uninstalled, after I dont know how many reboots even when I had the pattern enabled the swipe would come up first then the pattern, sometime only the swipe, it worked itself out, so be cautious of it....
Just curious, how many of you guys use the lock screen? I for one, since the day I bought my inspire, disabled the lock screen. I simply have no use for it.
How about you guys?
I use the app "No Lock", works perfect for me.....
Bounce between Widgetlocker and the Sense 3.0 lockscreen. She lives in my pocket and needs to be restrained when I'm not paying attention to her. Touchscreen & all that.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using the power of the dark side.
I bounce around with mine. Sometimes I like it, sometimes not. But I same as you use no lock to rid myself of it. Most times I don't feel i need a second screen to go through just to get to my apps and stuff
I have the rotary unlock and a PIN after that. I figure that with my phone rooted someone who doesn't know what they're doing messing with settings could really cause problems and some apps have my credit card info so i like to have it locked, it's pretty quick to unlock.
Disabled it the hour I got it and never looked back...
I use Executive Assistant as the lockscreen and disable the regular one
I never use stock 2.2 sense lock, only 3.0. I like widgetlocker, but I'm running cm7, so i use default on the lens setting. looks great.

I love it. I use the sliding tab lockscreen with the four tabs. I use it quite often.
I definitely use mine (Widgetlocker). I place everything I might want/need to see on it. Currently I have an icon for the app Screen Off and Lock, and the following widgets: Watchdog, CurrentWidget, SetCPU, Next Alarm, and MissedIt (unread counts). I disabled interactions for everything except the icon for Screen Off and Lock (I set the timeout for the lockscreen to be 30 seconds, giving me plenty of time to look at my device information. I use the Screen Off app to turn it off as soon as I'm done).
Do you use a passcode lock on your phone? If so is it a pattern or password based. Why or why not? I've just been wondering lately. It's becoming more of a hassle not having a reliable timeout for putting in a password.
I wish you could set the passcode lock to come up only every hour and until then it would use the regular lockscreen that can take you directly to texts/missed calls etc.
What do you prefer?
I used pattern lock for a bit when I first got my phone. Then I realized you could see the pattern left by the grease on my fingers. Also very easy for one to watch you and replicate. Same with pin, as far as one watching you. If someone gets ahold of your phone physically, they have access to your sdcard and internal with adb. the only security I use at the moment is, holding on to my phone.

I use the non visible pattern lock and Sim lock.
I'll sometimes disable the pattern lock if I'm using my phone heavily but make sure I enable it when I'm done.
I'm a secret squirrel kinda guy. You just can't pick my phone up and read my emails, text, contacts and browser history.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Juice Defender give you the ability to set seperate screen off and lock times? Its full of many other usefull tools as well.
I don't use the locks personally, seems more trouble then I'm willing to deal with. I have the app setup to lock and locate it remotely via SMS if the need be. Besides, what's the worst that could happen other then someone seeing all the porn I have on here.

Juice Defender's lock timeouts never worked right for this specific phone. I looked into it a while back and went with Unlock With Wifi. It worked very well in Froyo in the early versions of the app but with GB and the latest versions it locks on its own randomly even though it's been more than 15 minutes (my timeout at the moment).
Lockscreens are just a hassle :/.
I stopped using the pattern lock when I realized that Odin would get rid of it. I'm sure almost everyone has a friend that knows about how to root phones, so if it's lost, the lockscreen doesn't provide that much protection.
Aside from security, it also doesn't let me use my music player on the lockscreen! It was quite annoying to unlock > access music. Now that I'm using the MIUI lockscreen, it's just turning on the phone and pressing the button.
Btw, for those that might not know, pressing the unlock button twice will open up your music player on the MIUI lockscreen! I found out a few weeks ago! XD
Yes I use the pattern just bcuz it looks cool. Lol. I just wish u could also put one of the EDT tweaks lockscreens and the passcode so i could use the MIUI lockscreen :/

Is they're a shortcut or something I can place on my home screen to disable smart lock? Normally I want it unlocked with my smart watch, but when I'm at work I leave my phone on the desk when I go help patients. But I don't want my nosy co workers to go through it. Do I want the pattern lock to always be on at work. Any thought? Did I miss anything in tasker?
No answers in 24 hours probably means that people (like me...) don't understand the question. I don't use Smart Lock myself, since I prefer to have total control of my device, but surely the entire point of it that if you walk away from it out of Bluetooth range then it locks itself? So your co-workers can't go through it (and what sort of people do you work with anyway...?)
Am I misunderstanding? Have you tried leaving your Bluetooth watch far away to see if the phone can be opened without the Bluetooth connection or password?
No it works correctly I'd i walk far away. But I work at a hospital and a patients room is sometimes is very close, so it will still be unlocked if I leave it at the nurses station. I've never seen anyone try to go through my, phone, but I'm paranoid though lol. I just need to find an app or maybe secure settings app to disable smart lock with a shortcut on the home screen
You can tap the lock on the bottom of the lock screen to lock the screen despite smartlock being on.
But then I have to do it every time I unlock my phone. The power button doesn't lock it
Just for clarification this is what I'm looking to toggle on and off. Can't find it in tasker or anything, so for now I'm just used any cut to take me to security settings.
I can't be the only one wanting this, right? I am someone who doesn't use screen lock. I like to just quickly swipe to unlock my screen.
But sometimes at work when you keep your phone on your desk and want to go to the toilet, you want to quickly lock the phone just in case. Or you are charging your phone and need to step away for a minute. You want to quickly lock it up, and quickly unlock it again with a PIN. Android (and Samsung) do not make this easy, because going through the Settings page to enable and disable the screen lock is troublesome. It takes quite a few steps. I just need an app (or even widget) that quickly toggles a phone lock. It doesn't even need to use the Android system's screen lock.
There are plenty of apps that let you lock down individual apps. But I can't find one that locks down the whole phone just like the stock screen lock. I can understand this is not easy to program, but I think it is possible. Because I see apps like this that can keep you in the lockscreen until a certain time limit.

If Android Pie had a quick toggle for changing screen lock type (e.g. PIN / swipe), that would be perfect. I can't believe the developers haven't considered this. I mean, they even made a toggle for flashlight...
I don't want to use a custom launcher because I really like Samsung's One UI, and I don't want to install something like Tasker because I don't want to give it excessive permissions or root my phone.
Does anyone know of an app or a method to achieve what I described?
