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

yea probably...
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.
I am running cyanogenmod 7.0.0 stable. Is it possible to set up the phone where you have a standard lock screen and a security one? I have it currently set that if its left inactive for 10 or more minutes you need a lock code to unlock it. I want to put another lock on it so when i just turn the screen off you need the rotary unlock to open it. Is it possible or is it just one or the other?
Thanks,
!Matt!

As far as I know, it's not possible. It's one or the other. I'm not sure if you may be able to get what you're looking for by using Widget Locker, but you could try. When I tried it out back in the day on a Sense rom, it slowed my phone down horribly though.

Hi I love the new "slide" lock screen. I love sliding the round "thingy" to unlock the screen or to get to the camera. I used to use the locker widget on my sgs2 but I want to stick to stock android as much as possible and getting rid of all those "addons" is a joy ;-) now the only thing that bothers me is that I can't lock my lock screen with the "slide" lock screen and put a pin in case I loose my galaxy nexus...(I know that sound cheesy) Can someone give me a hint? I do not want to use an extra plugin for this simple feature to work...
Cheers,
Silentbob
Options, security, use PIN unlock code.

Yes that's exactly what I would like... is it possible?

If you use an app like WidgetLocker you can set it up so that widget locker is your main lockscreen and you can make it look exactly like the stock lockscreen. Then if you enable pin unlock you can make it request for a pin after you unlock with widgetlocker

I'm confused here. Blur did this on my DX and it drove me crazy because no functionality from the slide lock screen other than vibrate adjustment. Does the OP want to have the slide lock on top so that it's possible to use the slide lock features on ICS? I would imagine with that a pin lock below, those features would still require pin lock entry. Perhaps I'm confused with the work flow that the OP wants.

Yup, this works perfectly.
Its dumb to have to slide to unlock only to get to the code screen.

Thank u for the time you have taken to write this help full comment.
Hi to all and thanks for your feedback. I think there is some need to better explain the reason I would like to use the swipe to unlock feature and at the same time have a pin lock.
I need a quick way to access to my camera app from the lock screen. I take a ton of images this way and I love the feature of the iPhone where you can take images from the lock screen very quickly but u need a pin to enter to the springboard. I hoped that this would be possible with stock android. As I asked in my first post I don't want to install the Lockscreenwidget. It has way to many options and some times it does not work. So now I hope that my intent is better understandable.
Thank you very much

I figured that's what you meant. Yeah, it would be a nice feature if you snap a photo or adjust the volume without entering the homescreen. Alas, to my knowledge, that functionality doesn't exist with a PIN. It's the app market for you my friend, and maybe Seekdroid in case you lose your phone and want to wipe it (assuming you are paranoid about security).
i just realized OP's name... how do you remember it O.O

My lock screen...
Hi Guys,
Is it possible to remove the initial lock screen on the One X? The one with the "Pull the ring to unlock" by default. I know you can change it but I just want to get rid of it. Having both that and then my pattern is just too many steps and I want to keep the pattern.
Thanks,
Tom
Hi, first question is, can you change the lock screen sound? If so how? I'm not a fan of the sound that it makes, I want a regular lock sound, if possible.
Now my question about widget locker.. It makes the unlock sound before I unlock using widget locker. Is this because the phone is technically unlocked and then you are simply using an app? It does this on my Nexus 7 also :/
But yeah I want to use Widget locked to get 4.2 unlock screen. Anyone know?
