Evo owners, does the initial slide down to unlock screen bug you too? I don't like having a pattern lock and this annoying slide to unlock screen. Is there a way of removing it?
Before I get a genius response of, "just remove your pattern lock," I need it. I work with children. Don't want them going through all my information.
So I ask, is it possible? Any info is greatly appreciated.

Try the app "No Lock" in the App Market.
No lock takes out the pattern lock

No Lock does remove the slide lock, but it also disables the pattern lock. Thanks tho. I'm sure someone knows how...

If you're not rooted then you can try Widget locker, lets you customize your lock screen to your liking.
If you're rooted then must Rom comes with themes that included custom lock screens...

I am using Richards 0.5 froyo build and I was wondering if it was possible to get the swipe to unlock/sound screen with the pattern to unlock set? So you wake it, swipe and then you put in the pattern. If you use a passcode you can do it that way.
Anyone know if that's possible? Hopefully you know what I am talking about!

Alright so I'm dumbfounded
I removed htclockscreen only to find out that I get the aosp lockscreen
How can I skip the slide lockscreen and go straight to the pattern unlock?

I believe that you have to have a lock screen and there is no way to bypass it. Then again, I could be wrong because man is fallible.
edit: I am using MIUI right now so it is not possible for me to check... apparently, according to these guys it is a HTC thing... wouldn't take that as gospel though.

I can bypass it completely. But I can't cut out the slide to unlock
If I knew where the aosp lockscreen was located I could try ripping it out, but I don't know where to look. I'm afraid its embedded somewhere in the framework

That would be interesting. Apparently it has been tried before, but because the results are no where to be found, it's probably not possible. Then again, there are people much smarter than I am who are trying this. That post was from about 2 weeks ago, so who knows....
Bypassing completely is easy, but doing what you want apparently is difficult. My roommates continuum does it without a hitch apparently... I am starting to believe it is an HTC problem.

Gotta love HTC tho but the weird thing is, and where I got the idea. Was from my touch pro, I could accomplish this but it was a aosp Rom. I'm running a z Rom currently

Found a few apps on the market. One was called no lock
Seems that none can skip past the slide to unlock screen and go to pattern lock or pin lock. They just go straight to OS after you press the power button.
I found out why they do this
Because the pin/pattern lock is tied to the factory reset so to down the chances that u wipe the phone in ur pocket they put a secondary slide to unlock

Anyone know how this can be changed? The motion of having to drag the wallpaper off the screen is pretty lame.
I've been searching for this.
Edit: Adding a lock pattern overrides this or you can look at getting one of the lock screens from the market.
Its the same as the infuse minus the puzzle... Which i miss
.sorta.
Use widget locker?

root will do it. I bet if we just delete their lockscreen.apk it'll default to the standard android pull-tabs.
Also, yeah, worst lockscreen EVAR. It's like they didn't even try, lol.
software can, and will, be hacked. no worries.
I personally like the lockscreen. I even had it on my epic 4g by choice.

Patience guys ... enjoy this beastly device until root comes ... then it'll be perfect ... at-least you guys got it today lol

There's one called Agile Lock that mimics the sense 3.0 lock screen pretty well, plus lets you put any widget you want on it! I've been using it since yesterday and no wake locks/force closes anything weird. I got the paid version, not sure about the free version.
But yeah, I hate the stock lock screen.

Yeah, only the paid version allows you to change the widgets but you can accumulate points on the free version to unlock the feature...at least that's how it was when I last used it

Really? I hated the fact that the pin didn't override the lock screen on my Photon.
Why would I want to worry about accidentally activating the screen (the purpose of the lock screen) when I already entered a security pin?
The lockscreen is better then the one on the 8 lock mod on the epic..

I have to agree, that ugly swiping off the wallpaper really seems like they didn't even try. The default Android lock screen is much better.
I went out and bought WidgetLocker just because it was so bad.
i just wished we could at least change the picture
i love the shortcuts for missed notifications
try:
Settings
Display
Screen Display
Lock Screen Wallpaper
Lets you choose whatever you want!
I used this as my lockscreen wallpaper LOL:

Anyone notice quite a lag between hitting power and the screen actually turning on? I just plugged the phone in, and it was MUCH faster to turn on. When I unplugged, same lag. I will test more when its fully charged.

So I just installed JB and I got really souped because I thought they added slide unlock with pin, but unfortunately it seems that was just for the first boot up. Is there anything that would offer this kind of functionality? I'd like to be able to easily star the camera app without having to unlock.

Is there a way to change lock screen styles based on location? (Maybe through something like Tasker?)
My 1 year old daughter has learned how to unlock my phone with the swipe lock screen, so I have changed it to facial recognition, which has adequately secured it from her.
However, when I'm not at home, I would prefer the ease of the swipe unlock.
Is this possible?

I couldn't find definitely that it will allow you to change unlock method based on location (everything else is listed and it's hinted at several places) but you might give SmartShift Lockscreen a try. You can find it here on Google Play.

Thanks for checking. That appears to be a lock screen replacement.
Ideally, I'd like to use the stock lock screen and just update the settings.

In that case I would check out Secure Settings App which is available through Google and has a thread here at XDA.

Thanks for the suggestion!
Couldn't figure out the facial recognition. However, I figured out how to toggle between requiring a pin and not, which should suffice for keeping my phone protected from a toddler accessing it.
