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.

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

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....
Stock Verizon G-Nex on ver. 4.0.2
Anyone else notice that when you have an app open that uses the menu button in the lower right corner next to the recent apps button'..................if you lock the screen with the app open, and later push the power button to unlock your phone..........the menu button remains on the screen and it will open the app if you press on it, without unlocking the phone!
This doesn't seem right.

I believe It only happens on the insecure slide to unlock. Its not great but tbh, its not really bypassing some lock down when anyone can just slide to unlock anyhow. Make sence?

I agree! Use a PIN and see if the same happens.
This only happens on slide to unlock which isn't secure anyways.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I understand. The security isn't a big thing for me, but it seems odd that the menu button is active on the lock screen.
Just an observation.

No. The app devs. If they update their apps for ICS, its a non-issue.
Ever wondered why only some do it?

So I am running ICS on my AT&T Ion and noticed that when the screen is locked, the notification bar will still pull down from the top and allow you to access settings or any notifications. It seems to defeat the purpose of having the screen locked. I don't remember if this was the case with the stock firmware. Can anyone confirm?
You are correct. Gingerbread (2.3.7) on this phone does not allow pull-down notifications from the lock screen.

For that very reason, I use unlock pattern. Another option is to use a different locker. Holo locker does not allow access to status bar.

The idea is that if you can quickly check an email/text without having to unlock each time. I guess some ppl found unlocking an annoyance, but at least you can disable/enable it
Sent from my LT28h using xda app-developers app
That is one of the features of ICS. All ICS roms and phones let you do that. Gingerbread never had that feature. So it's not just this ICS rom.:good:
And either way, it isn't a security risk either. If you have a passcode or pattern enabled, it has to be entered for the Notification shortcut feature to work.:highfive:
Is there a way to change lock screen styles based on location? (Maybe through something like Tasker?)
My 1 year old daughter has learned how to unlock my phone with the swipe lock screen, so I have changed it to facial recognition, which has adequately secured it from her.
However, when I'm not at home, I would prefer the ease of the swipe unlock.
Is this possible?

I couldn't find definitely that it will allow you to change unlock method based on location (everything else is listed and it's hinted at several places) but you might give SmartShift Lockscreen a try. You can find it here on Google Play.

Thanks for checking. That appears to be a lock screen replacement.
Ideally, I'd like to use the stock lock screen and just update the settings.

In that case I would check out Secure Settings App which is available through Google and has a thread here at XDA.

Couldn't figure out the facial recognition. However, I figured out how to toggle between requiring a pin and not, which should suffice for keeping my phone protected from a toddler accessing it.
