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

ive searched a good bit so if its in the open i apologize. does anyone know if its possible to completly eliminate the stock lock screen or point me to some directions showing how? i know i could just use this that or the other lock screen app but i just really wanna know if its possible to delete that lock screen. thanks in advance, veritas
Try "no lock" in the market

thanks for your reply. i was trying to use the new golocker that the go dev team had released and i noticed nine times outta ten when i woke the phone id have to slide the stock lock out the way and then slide the golocker next. i tried the no lock app but i guess it works to good as it disabled both lock screens. it would b nice to have golocker only. but thanks for the advice.

If you have the lockmod then you can go into the lockscreen settings and set the style to "none".

what 10 second rule?
Its when u shut the screen and immediately wake it again there is a delay bc of android os limitations so widget locker has to wait like 3 seconds before showing.
I mixed up the 3 second android rule with the food fall on ground 10 second rule.

there are lock screen mods you can use on the android market or mods you can flash in cwm, and you can choose what ever lock screen style you want, i like the none option myself

Not understanding, did you follow what eao1991 said? Switching the style to "none" shows no lock screen at all.

Hey guys,
Is there a way to remove the stock lock screen from my phone? It's a completely stock GS2. I'm planning to root in the next few days, so if that's necessary I'm ok with it. I just HATE the stock lock and want to use widget locker. Unfortunately, when I simply install widget locker over the top, I end up with a redundant lock and have to swipe twice.
Any advice?
Try go locker app

I already know what lockscreen I want to use. I just need to get rid of the stock one.
When you say you have "redundant" lockscreens, do you mean that WidgetLocker comes up, followed by your security lockscreen, or are you not using any sort of password?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
He's talking about the static image that you swipe that unlocks the phone. I installed Go Locker and it gets rid of that except for the 1st time you power the phone on.
Install NO Lock from the market open it click disable. Then install whichever lock apparently you want and run it.
No lock apparently disables the stock
Lock screen.

Install the Juggernaut rom and you can pick from a few different lock screens. I haven't seen the stock lock screen since I installed Juggernaut a month ago.

Correct, widgetlocker comes up, then the stock galaxy lockscreen, so I have to swipe twice.

Thanks, I'll try it again. I installed no-lock, and it just removed widget locker, but it didn't even do that reliably, lol. I'll uninstall WL, run no-lock, and then reinstall and hopefully that will work.

Thanks for the recommendation. When I'm ready to go the custom rom route, I'll check Juggernaut out. I don't know why I'm hesitating about flashing, because I've rooted and ROM'd my last 4 android phones, but for whatever reason, I'm not in a big hurry to root my GS2. Other than the lockscreen, I'm pretty happy with it completely stock.
It appears as though installing no-lock and disabling the lock screen, THEN installing your secondary lock works. I've rebooted a couple times and still get the stock lock on launch (which makes sense, since both no-lock and widget locker are started after boot), but haven't seen it since then.
Solution posted above did not help me. I have installed No Lock, disabled lock screen, then installed Go Locker but even so there is sometimes situation when both screens appear - annoying! What do you recommend?
Try MiLocker which is like the MIUI locker. Used it on my G2 and it worked perfectly. I like the static lock on the SGSS2 so that's why I haven't gone back to using it. Its worth a shot and they have tons of different lock screens
*#7594# It does disable the stock screen lock for Samsung Galaxy Epic 4G Touch (Sprint) and also works for Samsung Galaxy Attain (MetroPCS)., I just tried it does not works on our Phone....
So I have an idea for a lockscreen but im not sure what to do with it... share it for a dev to find and possibly make? Or learn how to create it myself.. either way I havent a clue how to go about it... anyone have some advice?
can u share the idea i like to know
ok like a bunch of sliding blocks in from different directions that when you press and drag on them they can be slid away from screen.. and you "set the pattern" by choosing how many blocks and which blocks and in what order you have to swipe... so if someone for instance doesn't start on the correct block you can slide them around all day but it wont open... but if you swipe the correct say 3 in the correct order.. viola...
Instead of one constant motion like the pattern dots.. or a swipe lock screen.. you actually need 2 or more swipes...

No. That's degrading to his idea. He means more like playing the game "unblock me" from android market. But take that idea mixed with a lock-screen which i really like the OP's lock-screen idea.

Never responded... anyone else wanna take a stab at it.. or tell me how to go about making it myself?
I don't know how to code but the algorithm would be pretty simple
Assuming everyone starts with the same blocks in the same places
The specific combination of swipes would be needed to unlock the phone, dammit I can visualize this in my head but it's hard to put into words... I would also need to see what kind of layout u are specifically talking about, do u know how to code

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.

I recently upgraded to the LG Optimus G Pro and I love it and all, but while I'm at work when I get messages, my phone does all sorts of crazy things in my pocket because the screen comes on. I was wondering if there was a setting that I was looking over that would stop it from doing that? I'm trying not to root it because I know the bare minimum about rooting phones, but I did root my Galaxy s2 Skyrocket with youtube tutorials.

What things is it doing? I have the flip case and that keeps it from coming on and such. I think there is a pocket mode in the setting(I could be wrong about this though) check in display section or even under notifications.

Or go into the offending app that's causing you trouble and turn notifications off.

I think there are a few others who have complained about this as well. I don't have a texting plan (I use Google Voice), so I haven't ever experienced this. However, if there aren't any options in the phone settings, there may be another way.
I seem to be on this Tasker kick lately, so when someone has a problem that is related to the phone sensors or events, I tend to think "how can I fix this with Tasker?!" . As a result, I have made an app really quick using Tasker and have even included the project XML if you want to fiddle with it on your own. It does NOT require root. However, it will need you to install another free app called "Secure Settings" and give it administrator rights in your phone settings. All that the app does is wait for an incoming message and checks to see if the proximity sensor detects something in front of it. If it does, it turns the screen off. However, like I said, I don't have a texting plan, so I haven't had a chance to really test it. The app interface is just an "ON/OFF" button and a "Close" button. If it doesn't work, just turn it off or uninstall it. It is set to "OFF" when it is first installed.
Alternatively, you can play around with it if you get Tasker. I think there is still a trial period you can get if you aren't sure if you want to buy it. Let me know if it works or if you have any other questions.
I named the xml file as a .zip just to upload to xda. Just rename the file without the ".zip" at the end and then you can edit and/or import to Tasker.

Okay I just realised that there is an emergency call button on the screen when you have either pin, password or pattern unlock set. If you just have swipe, there is no emergency call button. Maybe this will help?
