is there any way i completely remove the screen unlock ring
There's an app in the the play store called "no lock"

This does work but it seems to be hit or miss sometimes with my phone. After a few hours of inactivity the ring unlock is back. The other major downside is that this method leaves you with no screen security as you cannot enable a pin or pattern lock.

It looks like android kills it due to memory leak.
But I advice to install widget locker or go locker from market, they are heavy customizable and working good with sense disabling stock lock screen

Does anyone know how to disable the vanilla slide to unlock screen but keep something like the pattern lock on??? I've tried no lock from the market, but my pattern lock wouldn't come on. It's kind of retarted to have to slide to unlock the screen and enter a pattern lock. Thanks for any help.
btw, I'm running Calkulin's v.1.1 ROM.
Thought I'd try one more time to get it to the top? Anyone? Thanks.

Doesn't he have the zip file on the 1st page of his thread?
What thread are you talking about? I,m a search dummy, I can't find anything about this stupid lock. Are you referring to Calkulins thread?

I got the zip, flashed it and how I have the older slide left/right lock, still I have to do that before I get my pattern. Ugh this is a pita lol. I just want the single pattern lock when I turn my screen off.

on CM6
the PIN and PWD option presents the user with the SlideLock...then the SecurityLock then the desktop.
the ZigZag option presents the user with the PatternLock then desktop.
I'm not running CM6....are those settings found in that rom? Is there no other way to just get the patter lock and no vanilla lock???

I know you can use switchpro to disable the lock screen but I've never tried it in conjunction with the pattern lock so I don't know of it would do what you're looking for but it's worth a shot.
I use switchpro, I'll give it a go and post back.
*edit- Yep! It does exactly what you're looking for So use switchpro to disable the lock screen and when you hit the power button to wake the phone up it goes directly to the pattern lock

Is your lock screen the Sprint slide-down lock or the standard/vanilla lock? I ask because, with Switch Pro, it either unlocks both, or enables both (with the Sprint HTC slide-down lock).
Thanks.
didn't worked on Xperia x10 =(
Just wanted to add that disabling the lock screen with switch pro is awesome. I can't believe I never found that before.
Also, if you want to have ur volume buttons wake ur phone, try widget locker. Enable widget locker, then enable any hardware button wake, then use switch pro to disable screen lock then disable widget locker. Bam, volume key wake w/o lock screen, pure awesomeness.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!
i'm using the standard rom
since i've installed launcher pro to get rid of motoblur's home, the screen doesn't lock screen anymore
it just turns off backlight, but any hw key awakes it and i find it unlocked
i already checked in settings and screen timeout is 30 and screen lock is enabled
That is not typical. Not sure what other settings to look at, but never known launcher pro to disable the lock screen.

Same here.
i've seen it happening from time to time
it seem that after the phone is on for a couple of days, the screen lock stops from kicking up after screen blank
if i reboot the phone it will work again
it never happened before, when i used the standard motoblur desktop
I've been having the same problem, as of a short while ago.
I notice that it happens when you manually lock (for me by pressing the Galaxy S power button) the phone while you're still in an application.
Every time it happens, I have to go and reenable the pattern lock.
Can you only drag down the notification bar on the screen lock if you don't have an unlock code/pattern etc? I see numerous people saying you can drag it down but mine does not and I can't find an option to activate it.
Thanks.

no, not if you have a screen lock enabled afaik
if you have a screen lock delay, you can do before the time is "up"
Thanks, shame there isn't the option to enable it with a secure pattern etc also.

i know.
if you use something like widget locker and missed it (both on the play store) you can show notification numbers for calls texts, emails and any other app. you can then tap the notification, it'll ask you the passcode and open the correct app
I have been trying to get Widget Locker working on my One but have hit an issue. I am thinking I may not be able to fix this without Root but I wanted to run it by the community to verify.
I have my phone linked to an Exchange server that forces a 4 digit pass-code onto the device. So from the default lock screen I swipe up and then get the keypad to unlock the device.
Widget Locker replaces the main screen and 60% of the time when I unlock the device it takes me to the keypad directly.
The other 40% of the time is the issue. When I unlock from Widget Locker it takes me to the default screen where I would swipe up. From this point I can ether swipe up and unlock or shut off the screen. When I try again it usually works perfectly.
Is there any way to get consistent behavior from Widget Locker without root? What I would expect would be to unlock and be taken to the keypad 100% of the time.
I would love to use widget locker, but I always get a 3-7 second delay with turning on my phone. Sorry I can't help you.

Go into Settings and set the HTC lockscreen to none. It forces the phone to only use WL, and you never see the stock lockscreen. Works for me,

That kills the security on the phone. We need to have ether a pin or password unlock to secure the device. Even without it I would want a pattern unlock at the least to keep it somewhat safe.
I expanded my search a bit and this seems to be a common problem on phones that have any sort of lockscreen security. What I cant understand is why it does work some times, but not others. It does not appear to be a timing issue but I cannot narrow down what else would randomly (apparently random) trigger the stock lock screen yet work other times.

No, it doesn't. The HTC lockscreen and the Security lockscreen are two different things. You can have the HTC lockscreen set to none, and still have the option to unlock with any of the various lock methods(i.e. PIN, Pattern, Face Unlock, etc...) I know this is true because I use it everyday. I use WL, have my HTC lockscreen set to none, and still have to enter a PIN to unlock my phone. And have no delay when using WL once the phone is booted.

And I am an idiot. You are completely correct. I am trying it now, thank you.
Edit: Working like a charm. If anybody else is having this issue the setting is under Personalize, lock screen style.
Thanks again!
Is anyone else experiencing issues with the fingerprint scanner on the Verizon variant?? It works fine most of the time but occasionally, I'd say 1/3 of the time, it says "Pin required to us Fingerprint". Any ideas on what this is?

Are you using something like Nova's gestures to lock the phone? I discovered that locking by any means other than the power button will cause a pin/pattern to be required the next time it's unlocked.
I am. So you think anything with admin rights to the lock screen is the issue?

Basically. Just having apps in the Device Admin list shouldn't cause it, but it one of them performs an action like locking the screen, it triggers a PIN unlock.
Awesome thanks so much for the info[emoji106]

Believe after the first time when the phone is rebooted, you have to put in the pin. Not sure if randomly after that a pin is required. If not mistaken, there will be a message on the screen if you read it really close.
Any solution to this yet?
i had an issue like this with my HTC10(unlocked on VZW) i just added another(i.e. the right thumb again) finger at the angle i normally tried to unlock it with and it now works flawlessly.
The issue was using Nova launcher gestures to lock the device.

So are you looking screen with power button now? I've raised the issue in the Nova thread, hopefully this can be resolved.

Yeah I just use power button now. It's not a big issue but just a little inconvenience

Just gone back to sense but can't get double tap to unlock working! Tried clearing cache, removing Nova...

From what I understand, I don't think this is something Nova can fix. I believe it's a security measure within Android that disables the fingerprint unlock when locked by anything other than the power button.
Does your fingerprint sensor had issue like litle "klik" when you press it down? You need to put your ear to hear, but i need to know is this normal or my sensor is broken?
