Okay, so I have been scouring the Internet in search for some kind of special pattern lock delay. I had this ability on a custom ROM quite some time ago. I think it was on CyanogenMod 7. Basically when your phone goes to sleep and you wait to turn it on in 30 seconds you get the slide lock, but if you wait past 30 minutes, you get the pattern lock, password lock, or pin lock.
I'm actually surprised that most ROM's don't have this ability. Would there be a app or custom ROM that has this ability?
I'm running (cm_toroplus-userdebug 4.1.1 JRO03C eng.burnsra)
AOKP's newest JellyBean nightly has a "wait to lock screen" option that disables the lockscreen until your "timeout" timer is up even if you lock manually.
For example; if you let your screen shut of on it's own...it takes a while for the lockscreen to re-enable.
That's the closest that I know of. Others might have more options.
Basically all roms I've had have had that feature I've had cm9 cm10 aokp and paranoid android

The feature that I mentioned?
I wouldn't doubt it.
But that being said and to keep the thread relevant to OP's interests, that really isn't what he's looking for...but a small step in the right direction.
I remember the CM7 setting...and it was exactly like he explained. You could disable the PIN lock for a set amount of time.

I am running cyanogenmod 7.0.0 stable. Is it possible to set up the phone where you have a standard lock screen and a security one? I have it currently set that if its left inactive for 10 or more minutes you need a lock code to unlock it. I want to put another lock on it so when i just turn the screen off you need the rotary unlock to open it. Is it possible or is it just one or the other?
Thanks,
!Matt!

As far as I know, it's not possible. It's one or the other. I'm not sure if you may be able to get what you're looking for by using Widget Locker, but you could try. When I tried it out back in the day on a Sense rom, it slowed my phone down horribly though.

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.

Yea, I saw that yesterday.
Just got the Nexus and I guess I'm just used to being on gingerbread for so long. I used to be able to see the unlock slider option and I had the choice between Unlock/Camera/etc. I can do this now, but when I do, it just unlocks. No security at all. If I set a pattern/pin/pass it just goes straight to that and completely bypasses the slide to unlock option. I'd like the option to unlock directly to my messages, gmail, camera or Google search. So I'm looking to be able to see the normal swipe to unlock with the 5 or so different options and then be taken to my pattern screen to confirm. I googled this and the only way I have seen people "fixing" this is to install third party applications such as go locker or widgetlocker, etc. I am wondering if there's a way to do this naturally on a system level without downloading an app?
Model: Toro
ROM: ParanoidAndroid JellyBean
Kernel: Francos kernel
Thanks in advance...

Possible? Very likely it is. Has it been done yet? Not that I know of. All I have ever came across are apps like Widgetlocker.
I'm looking for a Galaxy Nexus rom that can be set up to behave like this:
When I turn on the screen, I should get the slide-to-unlock screen. So a single swipe would unlock the phone.
BUT if the screen has been off for more than 10 minutes, AFTER the slide-to-unlock screen I'd like to get the pattern lock, so I have to draw my unlock pattern to unlock the phone.
That means I'd get two lockscreens after each other when the display has been off for more than 10 minutes, but just one lockscreen if the time was shorter.
(This is exactly the way in which HTC Sense worked by default on my old Desire.)
Im currently running rooted stock Jelly Bean, and I'm using Tasker to implement this behaviour. But this is not the most elegant way... so I was wondering if there is any rom that can be configured like this WITHOUT using Tasker...
Interesting request. I've got Tasker setup so it will disable lock pattern while I'm connected to my home wifi. Does the trick for me.

So far that I've seen, no ROM does this by default. You need to download an app like go locker or widget locker. That's at least what I was told. I posted the same topic here a few days asking if it was possible to do on a system level w/o an app. Only real answer I got was that, yes it is likely possible, but hasn't been done yet.

Ive actually done the same, in addition to my 10 minutes delay.
Still, the task sometimes just doesnt work and the pattern lock doesnt get reactivated as it should... not sure why.

So Ill stick to Tasker for now I guess.
Problem is, it only works reliable when I set the Tasker task to "keep device awake", but then it just eats up the battery...
Most of the time, it also works if the "keep device awake" setting is disabled, but not always...
I wonder why Android doesnt offer this by default, as HTC Sense did. I think it makes perfect sense, since it combines the usefulness of the quick unlock actions (launch camera or google search from lockscreen) with the security of a pattern lock.

+1. I like being able to unlock straight to different apps, but don't want to sacrifice security to do so. Hopefully we start seeing this implemented into ROMs soon, or at least an option to check, in order to allow for it. Thinking about purchasing widget locker until then. :/

Yeah but then I would only have an option to unlock to certain apps while home. Where my brother could pick up my phone and do whatever he wants with it if I happen to set it down. Just as well, if I am out and about I will only have a pattern unlock and I can't open to anything but the homescreen. I want both all the time. Would be nice if I didn't have to spend money on widget locker to do so. Go locker is too much, everything GO is too much. Too over the top. From what I remember go locker always lagged on every phone I used it on too. It's not really that odd, or difficult of a request I'd think. Especially since it was stock like that on gingerbread. Guess y'all forgot since you had ICS and JB for so long. I on the other hand just got my Stratosphere (2.3.5) replaced with this and it was stock on that phone.... Also not that it matters, but what's with the little copy pasta there lol?
Just to update the OP and whoever else this may concern - this is now incorporated into BAMF Paradigm version 2.2.

Preface: I've asked about how to disable capacitive backlights on stock TW ROMs, and now I independently found half of the answer.
By looking inside EpicParts.apk from CM-based ROMs, I obtained the position of soft key "device": /sys/devices/virtual/sec/t_key , and by modding the file "brightness" under it, capacitive key backlight turn off.
However, on TW ROMs this never persists no matter how I set the permission / owner, while on Incredible S, after modding I can mod the permission to r--r----- to prevent system from reverting this setting.
Plus, on pre-CM10 era ROMs, "Epic 4G Settings" is there but even if I disable the backlight, it always light on for a wee second every time I unlock, which is pretty annoying as I use onscreen keys heavily.
Digging further into CM10's EpicParts (which can totally turn backlight off, regardless of unlock), it seems that it creates two files under the folder, "touchleds_disable" and "touchleds_voltage", but I don't know how this behaves, nor can I imitate the behaviour.
So... it'll be appreciated if anyone can explain to me how EpicParts (of JB) works and how I can reproduce its effects. Thanks all

I don't really have an answer to your question but I have a question for you lol. What you did disabled the lights completely? Like even the little flash they give when they are pressed on? They're just completely off?

Yes, that's the effect I'm looking for, and by now only CM10 and PA 2.5+ can do that; however, if I choose to disable them completely, the "Recent Apps" view will automatically pop up randomly, and I dunno why
