Other then turning off sense is there anyway to turn off the sense lock screen, but keep the Android one on... I tried no lock but it got rid of both lock screens...

I, too, am interested. While I love almost everything about Sense, I much prefer the standard Android 2.1 lock screen.
I wish we could use the mp3 toggle and quick message views at glance on the vanilla lock screen tho =/. I hate being in the gym and having to unlock to change a track.
Give it time someone will port over. Right now I think the DEVs are busy trying to get full root. It will come after that. I don't think it will stick until then.

Installed vanilla lock screen by removing the htc sense one and loving it. Only problem if when my alarms go off when the screen is off I can't turn the alarm off. Any ideas for a solution?
Thanks

I believe you have to uninstall the HTC Clock and use the Vanilla clock instead. This is what i did to get it to work on the Fresh ROM. Not sure if there is another way but this is what worked for me and after installing fresh 3.2 i havent put the vanilla lock screen back on since it doesn't show the music app when its locked.
The world clock doesn't work well with the vanilla lock screen. You have to download a theme from the fresh updater that removes the world clock and adds the vanilla clock.
yea just go to Fresh's website geekforme or do a search for vanilla lock and he has a set of choices for you
here you go http://geekfor.me/hero/fixes/bugfixes-requests-lock-screens/
So whats the big deal with the vanilla lock screen? Everyone seems to like it so much better then senses. I don't use the music app, so i don't have a need for that functionality.
i jsut like how it looks i like having the 2 slides (one for silent one for lock and like the side to side vs the down.
overll it functions almost exactly the same except for cosmetics. so it is really a personal prefrence
I figure I will bring this up again. I am posting this in dev because I think this is the only place/way for a potential solution.
The Evo is the only that behaves this way--when the pattern lock is enabled, the HTC lock screen (or AOSP lock screen, if the HTC is removed) still pops up before the pattern lock.
There are plenty of tools out there that disables the lock screen, but they do not solve the problem. Using the menu shortcut on the HTC lock is still not a good solutino.
I simply want the Evo behave like my Epic, N1, an other Android phones, where the slide unlock goes away when pattern is eneabled.
How?
I'd appreciate some help.
Thanks.

By enabling the lock screen gesture on my evo running CM7 it disables the slide to unlock and unlocks immediately after you put in the pass trace. so i'm not sure why this is needed. definitely in the wrong section. should be under Q/A

Thread moved to Q&A.
I'd like to bump this, I'm having the same problem. I've done some searching and as he said, I can't find any *real* solution to it. Some suggest apps but that takes out the lock screen altogether. When I hit the power button, I want to do swipe and be in. This is really a pain in the butt so hopefully we can find some answers.
Maybe an odd question.
Is it possible to have the slide to unlock screen available if you use a patter to unlock the screen?
I know if you use a pin the slide to unlock still shows.

Not on an aosp rom, no. On a sense rom you can. Just remove the htclockscreen.apk, and you'll be left with the vanilla unlock screen. If you have a pattern enabled, it still comes up after unlocking the slider. (Again, only on a sense rom)

I agree. I like having the lockscreen and pattern unlock. That way I can use music controls on the lockscreen, and still keep my phone locked with the pattern.

I'll see if I can't get it added as a feature request for CM.
Try widget locker. Any widget you can add to the regular home screen can be added to the lock screen, including music controls, etc.
I have mine set up such that all the apps I normally use are available from the lockscreen. This way, don't have to multiple tap to get to them.
Don't mind the duplicate calculators..

Does that cause any lag? When I tried widget locker a long time ago, it lagged. My phone on wake up.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
The only lag I notice is when booting, and possibly the first wakeup after sleep after a reboot. There after, it seems to wake up relatively fast (1/2 second?) Is it an instant wake, no, but I can live with waiting a split moment to have the functionality of not having swipe then tap, or swipe then tap twice to get to something.
Like you, I tried it some months back and thought it was a piece of garbage. I was reluctant to try it again, but got spoiled with CM7's multiple sliders on the lock screen. Having returned back to sense for other reasons, I missed that functionality.

There is already a feature request for this in CM. look here:

Thanks for the response. I may consider giving it another try.
If you plan on using this with cm7, keep in mind, actual widgets on the lock screen only work with the standard system theme. With other themes, the widgets disappear after a reboot.

It's stupid little bugs like this that annoy the crap out of me. So much for final I can't stand the green, so I just have shortcuts on the lock screen. In fact, I could almost tolerate the green, but it changes the theme of the status bar pull down widget to a light grey instead of a more black.

Yea, I saw that yesterday.
I'm looking for a Galaxy Nexus rom that can be set up to behave like this:
When I turn on the screen, I should get the slide-to-unlock screen. So a single swipe would unlock the phone.
BUT if the screen has been off for more than 10 minutes, AFTER the slide-to-unlock screen I'd like to get the pattern lock, so I have to draw my unlock pattern to unlock the phone.
That means I'd get two lockscreens after each other when the display has been off for more than 10 minutes, but just one lockscreen if the time was shorter.
(This is exactly the way in which HTC Sense worked by default on my old Desire.)
Im currently running rooted stock Jelly Bean, and I'm using Tasker to implement this behaviour. But this is not the most elegant way... so I was wondering if there is any rom that can be configured like this WITHOUT using Tasker...
Interesting request. I've got Tasker setup so it will disable lock pattern while I'm connected to my home wifi. Does the trick for me.

So far that I've seen, no ROM does this by default. You need to download an app like go locker or widget locker. That's at least what I was told. I posted the same topic here a few days asking if it was possible to do on a system level w/o an app. Only real answer I got was that, yes it is likely possible, but hasn't been done yet.

Ive actually done the same, in addition to my 10 minutes delay.
Still, the task sometimes just doesnt work and the pattern lock doesnt get reactivated as it should... not sure why.

So Ill stick to Tasker for now I guess.
Problem is, it only works reliable when I set the Tasker task to "keep device awake", but then it just eats up the battery...
Most of the time, it also works if the "keep device awake" setting is disabled, but not always...
I wonder why Android doesnt offer this by default, as HTC Sense did. I think it makes perfect sense, since it combines the usefulness of the quick unlock actions (launch camera or google search from lockscreen) with the security of a pattern lock.

+1. I like being able to unlock straight to different apps, but don't want to sacrifice security to do so. Hopefully we start seeing this implemented into ROMs soon, or at least an option to check, in order to allow for it. Thinking about purchasing widget locker until then. :/

Yeah but then I would only have an option to unlock to certain apps while home. Where my brother could pick up my phone and do whatever he wants with it if I happen to set it down. Just as well, if I am out and about I will only have a pattern unlock and I can't open to anything but the homescreen. I want both all the time. Would be nice if I didn't have to spend money on widget locker to do so. Go locker is too much, everything GO is too much. Too over the top. From what I remember go locker always lagged on every phone I used it on too. It's not really that odd, or difficult of a request I'd think. Especially since it was stock like that on gingerbread. Guess y'all forgot since you had ICS and JB for so long. I on the other hand just got my Stratosphere (2.3.5) replaced with this and it was stock on that phone.... Also not that it matters, but what's with the little copy pasta there lol?
Just to update the OP and whoever else this may concern - this is now incorporated into BAMF Paradigm version 2.2.

Does ANYONE here know of any lock screens or methods to use custom Lock Screens that can draw(display over) The stock Samsung one? A few phones ago I used Floatify and the AVA lock screen. Made my notification at a glance life better! the newest notifications arrived. on. top! WOW. not at the bottom like some do now..................
So! Is there anyone who knows of one that can do this? Without disabling the stock lock screen and being unable to use fingerprint etc.
Try good lock. The app notistar within it might be close to what you are looking for
