widget to lock the screen?

hi,
someone knows a widget that allows you to lock the screen of your android device?
on my nexus one i'd like to do it without pressing the lock button, so a widget button would be wonderful..
thanks

I would also like a widget that does this. In particular I would like a widget to engage the pattern/pin lock so that I can secure the phone when I need to, but not have the pattern/pin lock on all the time.

sure, it could have two buttons, one to normally lock the device, and the other one to lock it activatingthe security pattern..
no one knows something like this?
some developer here think it would be difficult to develop it?

Would love for this to be developed. I hate when I am streaming Slacker Radio or Pandora, when the phone goes to sleep and I want to skip a track I have to unlock the phone and put my pattern back in to get to the app since there is no option on the lock screen to skip. There are other apps that I use constantly that would favor this widget (if made ) as well. If I had a toggle switch to either enable or disable the pattern I would use it often.

Take a look at Screen Mode Widget in the Market. I've been using it since I first got my Droid a few months ago. Probably my most useful app on the phone because I HATED using the unlock key and then swiping to unlock all the time.
P.S. For the pattern lock, try the Lock Pattern OnOff widget available via the Market as well.

[Q] Widget to toggle lock screen pattern on/off for Froyo?

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.

Invisible lockscreen?

Some months ago I came across a lockscreen idea which didn't put a separate lockscreen on the top screen, instead it simply locked the visible screen as is, and allowed display updates to show as though the screen isn't locked. A simple gesture unlocks the screen. I thought it a great idea but could not disable my own phone's lockscreen to use this app. Now I can disable my phone's own lockscreen but now I can't find this app!
Help please?

Is this it?

(5.0) How to get rid of slide screen (pre-lock screen)?

How do we get rid of the slide up screen when you turn the display on? It seems that enabling pattern lock will enable the slide up screen to show up again.

I really don't think you can, it's a standard feature of Lollipop.
