I noticed that the problem where you can wake and unlock your phone with the Menu key is in 6.1.1.
I'm using 6.1.1 stable with A2EXT enabled and a modified 1020 gapps (new market).
I tried asking around on the cyan IRC channel but no one was answering me. I figured I'd post here and get some feedback before I go report it. It looks like (from searching) that there's no open issue about it.
It's only really an issue when you only want to use swipe gestures/lockscreen gestures to unlock. (Which I want)
I know, you can just slide the keyboard to unlock it, but most people don't think to do that.
Anyways here's hoping to there's a workaround/fix if not I'm reporting.
Thanks!

By swipe unlock gesture you mean the slide to unlock sliders on the lockscreen? Because the menu to wake and unlock has been there all along, but if your regular slide to unlock lockscreen ISN'T working then you have a problem. But since I didn't have that problem when I used 6.1.1 I would assume it's an individual issue and suggest a reflash. However, the menu unlock isn't an issue. I believe you can disable it in cyanogenmod settings, under user interface or something rather.

No, not the jogtag unlock.
Swipe as in you go into CM Settings/Input settings/enable swipe gestures and build a gesture to unlock.
I suppose Swipe is the wrong word, Lockscreen Gestures?
IE I draw a fish to unlock my screen.
You can assign apps to this too. I Draw a V to change sound mode, Lambda (Greek L) for Torch, Gamma for Gmail, etc.
I've reflashed mutliple, and I stress multiple, times. As I said in my first post the option to unlock is unchecked. Meaning it shouldn't unlock but it does.
I even tried flashing 6.1.1 without the A2EXT package and it still does it. I really think it's a 6.1.1 thing. I've download the rom on multiple occasions, from both the teamdouche and cyanogen servers.

Hmm. I know what you're talking about, because I did the same thing, unchecked in it CM settings, and it still unlocked the phone, but I guess I just didn't care since I didn't have gestures or unlock patterns enabled or anything. It might be a bug.

I got this app up and running just fine, however, I do have a slight concern that I need help on.
My regular lockscreen is coming up after I slide to unlock using WidgetLocker....so I have to slide twice...I've searched Google, XDA and looked at all the WidgetLocker settings but cannot find anything. I have also tried two different lockscreen suppressors but no go.
Help, anyone? Sorry if its a repost and I couldn't find the exact thread that dealt with this, if any.
TGIF everyone
Found this on WidgetLocker Site:
Can I use the Android 2.2 PIN/Password lock?
Yes, but on non-Sense devices it will not be as seamless as the pattern lock. After unlocking WidgetLocker you will see the stock unlock screen, and after unlocking that you will see the PIN/Password entry. On HTC Sense devices the middle step is bypassed, but I have not yet found a way of doing this on other devices. I am looking into the manner.
Question answered..I think, but if anyone else can post if they have disabled the Android lock, I would appreciate it.
(Using stable CM6 at the moment, non-sense)
Have you tried looking in "advanced" and unchecking "retain system keyguard" in widget locker? I believe having this option checked would induce the behaviour you are experiencing. I would test it myself on my phone, but my lockscreen settings are completely bastardized. I manually removed the sense lockscreen so things behave not as planned but exactly how I like.
Disable the lock completely,app called no lock.

Death : I have that option unchecked already.
Gmaine : I tried 'NoLock' and another 5 star rated..or very close to 5 star rated app which I forgot the name to. Any particular order this goes in? Because I just have WidgetLocker running, and downloaded 'NoLock', enabled it, locked screen, unlocked and saw the same 2nd lockscreen after WidgetLocker's...
Nope no order,i was on a sense rom tho and the no lock did the trick for me.

Well, I just heard back from the main developer - it is a known issue.
I know this has been discussed already, but I couldn't find a solution. I found a patch to enable menu-to-wake but I also want the menu-to-unlock feature that was present in 2.1. I want to be able to turn on & unlock the device by simply double pressing the menu key. The ROM I'm currently using (LeeDroid 2.2f) has trackball-to-wake and trackball-to-unlock, which is very handy, but finding and pressing the menu button is much easier.
So at this point I can already wake my device with the menu button, but I can only wake it with the trackball or by swiping. Any ideas?
Nobody knows?

Thanks for the link, however I couldn't find a solution for Froyo. Menu-to-wake, dpad-to-wake, dpad-to-unlock - these all work. Menu-to-unlock - still no answer...
Old thread, I know...
Just stumbled across this... I have a sort-of solution that I used. If you're willing to give up the HTC lock screen for the stock Froyo one, you get back menu to unlock. You also get the slide to switch vibrate/ringer.
But you lose the HTC text message preview and music controls. (I use PowerAmp for Lock Screen music and there is an SMS popup app for dealing with the messages, but I've never used it). Also - the big caveat - if you set an alarm with the HTC clock, you won't be able to shut it off unless you pull the battery, so you need another desk clock - I used Alarm Clock Plus.
Anyway, just go to /system/app and rename HtcLockScreen.apk and HtcLockScreen.odex to something like HtcLockScreen.apk.bak and HtcLockScreen.odex.bak and reboot. You'll get the stock Froyo lock screen and should be able to press menu to unlock or use the slider. (At least this is how it worked on my Incredible, but probably worth a shot on the Desire).
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.

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.

Im using the stock lockscreen on zf2 (which sucks coz i cant customize it), nova 4.0.1 launcher.

Not happening with me... I tried doing everything but it returns me to the pattern lock page only... i even tried to see if notification bar/quick settings open up but they don't... I am on Nova launcher prime 3.3
Doesn't do that for me. I also use a pattern and clicking back from the navbar or the back button drops me back to the pattern. I'm on the latest firmware and using Nova Prime 4.0.1.
Unrelated, but I love the Smart Lock option from the Security options in the settings. Allows you to specify safe locations for the screen lock so you don't have to keep unlocking it when at home etc.

I'm wondering if any custom ROMs have the following features:
-Double tap to wake, that works alongside fingerprint scanner
-swipe selection (I was an Android user a few years back, don't know if this tweak is still around)
-lockscreen pattern unlock in which you can change the dot grid size
Thanks in advance!

I think all of those are available, but not sure they are all in one rom. I am currently running the AquariOS room with great great results. Head over to the thread and look at the OP. Also look at the Flash Kernel and installing the TWRP zip is the way to go. @Badger50 is running almost the same exact setup as me so he would be another source of help. I'm going to be away for a couple weeks but if your starting from scratch, I would ask about what you are unsure of after reading a lot.

They all pretty much have DTTW, as do all the custom kernels.
Swipe selection?? Explain in what context you mean...lock screen, notifications, recents???
Grid size adjustment?? Not that I've seen or noticed. Then again, I don't use it.

OK I found an app that sorted swipe selection.. basically I meant cursor control using a swipe on the keyboard!
So yeah are there any ROMs that allow you to have pattern lock with a larger grid.. so there are more than 9 dots?

Ah, Swype keyboard is what you meant. You'll likely need a keyboard that allows that feature like Swift, Swype, or Smart keyboard. That's another feature that I've never used or liked. Heck, I still use the t9 method since I'm old and like 2 letters on my keys. As far as the pattern grid, no, there is no adjustment on Aquarios rom that allows you to increase the number of dots. However, I bet there's an app for that. What isn't there an app for anything these days
