Another Lock Screen idea

Hello guys
is there a possibility to make a programm to lock a screen just as you would do on your PC after pressing win+L?
You know, there would be an (customizable) icon in the middle of the screen with currently logged in user and you would tap the icon a nd type in some password....or some gesture like circle or triangle or whatever...
There could also be a possibility to change backgrounds (just like you had a program for win Logon Loader)...
What do you think?
I personally don't like Slide to unlock since I am used to it from my ipod touch - but I don't like having it on blackstone...kinda sucks...
apple is apple htc is htc!
So what do you XdaLords think of such a lockscreen?
Thanks

hi, you know, if you press long the "shut conversation" button, then it locks the screen. it's the original lock, doesn't look so nice, but it's very efficient.. otherwise, the lock idea with the gesture is quite good, something like in winterface.. don't know, perhaps someone knows something similar greets^^

I dont have blacsktone yet...
I just had an idea based on communication here in the forums
ooooo i am so lookig forward to have one...hurray

I use sensorlock. You just spin the pone clockwise and it locks using g-sensor. Anticlockwise unlocks it.

stunning
Guys, this program is simply stunning !!!!!!
why dont HTC release this with the phone in the first place!!!!

Lock screen replacement

Hi, i got a desire this week and am very happy with it. But there are some small quibbles, and one of them is the Lock_screen of Sense. It sucks, because it opens the screen whenever i dump the phone in my backpocket
I found Lock 2.0 on the Market, which i really like. Is there a way to replace it with the System Locker to get rid of the "home button opens anyway"-symptom?

I don't really like Lock 2 as it good some big bugs. (Like many buttons can skip it.)
WidgetLocker is much better:
You can change between different locks (Desire, Iphone and more)
But widgets on you lockscreen. (And do so that you can't interfere with them, so that they don't bother.)
Actually locks the phone, like the normal lockscreen. (or use settings to change what button"s" you wan't to wake on.)
10/10 best replacement.

I love the fact that you can have many different lockscreens with widget locker, BUT i don't like it when i unlock the phone, i see sense then i see the lockscreen i want. There is a small delay in it.

[Q] Menu to unlock on Sense Froyo?

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).

[Q] screen lock

Hi,
Is there a way to make a personal screen lock.
I'd like to have a screen lock like this
Thanks in advance
Sorry for my english

Get WidgetLocker...it allows you to add widgets to your lockscreen. It also allows you to change the way you "unlock" the phone (example, instead of "slide down to unlock", you can make it like the iPhone [slide your finger to the side to unlock])

I'll try it right now! Thanks for the fast reply ;-)

There are also some other apps to change the lock screen - try searching appbrain or market for "Lock".
The app "Lock 2.0" from Android Apps (filed in Appbrain under Entertainment) allows you to replace the lock screen with a custome one - I personally didnt like it too much, but I think that's what you wanted...

[Q] Lockscreen + Security Screen = Bad Design!

Dear Sirs,
Here's something which, as far as I can see, hasn't been addressed by any ROM:
WHY are the lockscreen and security screen two separate things in Android?
Okay, hear me out.
You're a security-conscious chap, so you want to protect your phone with a pin number / password / pattern. So you set it up. BUT! You hit the screen-on button, and the lockscreen comes up. You swipe to open the lockscreen, and only then does the security screen come up, with its prompt asking for a pin or whatever. So you enter that, and then finally you can get into your phone, after an assortment of keystrokes, rendered all the more annoying by the extraneous lockscreen. What's the point?
Having a security screen, under these conditions, renders the lockscreen completely extraneous, and it is 'design inefficient'.
Why (oh why) is there not an option to remove the lockscreen and have just the security prompt screen? This would appear to be a extremely simple and logical feature to offer.
I hate to bring up iOS (which I hate), but with iOS the security screen is the lockscreen. And additionally, once you've entered your pin, iOS will open up without you having to press "OK"!
It just seems like this is an area where Android isn't at all well thought out. Is there anything that can be done about this?

There are apps that can do this (No lock, alot of others), and CM7 has that feature built into it.

I'm sorry to say that they do not.
All the apps that do this, including 'No lock', remove the lockscreen along with everything else, so any security is also removed.
Where in CM7 is the option to switch off lockscreen but retain the security screen?

Hey 314, good call on CM! 'Disable lockscreen on security' is exactly what I'm talking about.
Now, if only all the other ROMs could provide that, we'd be cooking.
Next: to remove the need for the ridiculous 'OK' following pin entry!
