Does anyone know how to disable the slide lock????

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!

[REQ] Slide lock before pattern..

Some of you might think its a silly request but it just personal preference. I would like the regular slide lock to come up before entering pattern when enabled. So you would slide to unlock then enter pattern. Is this possible?
Any devs able and willing to do this would be awesome thanks =)

Wrong section and like you said its a personal preference and few devs are in the business of putting in a lit of work for a single person.

Oh thought since I was requesting a mod development section would be the right place, guess I was wrong.Sorry

No need to be confrontational. I agree I would like the slide to unlock before the pattern as well, mainly for the silent switch.

I actually would really like this. I set a pattern lock and expected the slide to unlock first and then the patter lock to pop up. But sadly I didn't get it. Is this possible?

I wouldnt use it but its a good idea

I think it would be great. I'd especially like it if they could have different time-out settings. That is, if the phone has just gone to sleep in the last ten or so minutes, just the slide lock, but longer than that then the pattern is also required. To me they really are two separate things -- the slide lock is to keep one from accidentally "butt dialing," while the pattern is to keep others from getting into the phone.

im just curious, how could this possibly useful?
if its just too put your phone on silent wouldnt it be easier to just unlock your phone and put it on silent? I mean it might be slightly more inconvenient, but think about how many times itll be more inconvenient to unlock and then pattern unlock your phone to use it vs how many times itll be more convenient to silence your phone w/o unlocking.
just want to know if you guys know something im missing here. I usually just put my phone i silent before i go into work/school but i use my phone many times a day while at work/school.

You can just use widgetlocker. Add a slider as the unlock theme then on phone settings select the lock pattern. Easy

Lock screen shortcut

Hey guys...
Just wanted to post this little find. I haven't seen it posted before, so I apologise if I missed that thread...
Try this...
Open an application with the settings button in the bottom corner.
Switch off screen
Switch on screen
Do you have the settings button in the same corner? Press it... screen unlocks
Shortcut or flaw?

Oh wow, never noticed that before. I can't think of any benefit of it so it likely to be a bug.

The online kitchen over at MoDaCo has an option to disable 'menu key unlock'. I'm assuming this is referring to this issue (if it is an issue) but I may be wrong.

don't get this option. is it something to turn on in Settings?

Did you also notice that you can access the notification bar from the lock screen?
Can't be a feature, surely?

That is actually a feature. Quite useful if you don't have a pattern/pin/face lock setup.

it is most definitely a feature, and was demoed at the first unveiling of the phone back in October.

Ahhhh... so it doesn't work if there is security lock on... I get it.. ty

Can someone explain what the purpose of the settings button is in this context? Is it just another way to unlock the screen? Why does it only appear in the given scenario?
Also, why do the back and home buttons appear when you drag down the notifications bar?
They do not appear to be functional, but can be pressed. I suppose the back button makes sense, as it dismisses the notification panel, but the home button does not appear to be functional.

I opened facebook, the menu button was there. I turned off screen, then turned it back on. the menu button was there on my lock screen but when I pushed it, nothing happened. phone did not unlock. I use pattern unlock.

More than likely, the menu button being on the lock screen is just a glitch that really shouldn't be there. The good news is that if you have a lock other than the slide lock (Pattern, Password, Pin, Face) the the menu button on screen does nothing.

It's already been reported to google as a bug. It only happens if you have an insecure lock method (swipe, or none).

[Q] Screen Won't Unlock

I am running the stock ROM, only rooted.
Sometimes when I try to unlock my phone, it acts as if I'm not even trying to unlock it in the sense that it doesn't even respond when I drag my finger across the screen. The only way to unlock it when this happens is to touch and drag an icon and unlock the screen that way (IE - open an app from the lock screen). I can then re-lock the screen and it will behave the same way again by not unlocking as if I'm not even touching the screen. The only way I have found to solve this where the lock screen reacts normally again is to reboot the phone.
The strange part about this is that in the developer options I enabled the show touches option thinking the digitizer just wasn't responding for some reason, yet I can see that touching the screen IS in fact working because it sees all the touch inputs. It just won't unlock. I can press the back arrow so it highlights the box I'm supposed to unlock inside and it still doesn't work. I just don't get it. It has done this since new as far as I can remember.
Anyone else?

I've got a similar issue, except mine is intermittent. Twice I've had the lock screen freeze on me. The only way to unlock it was to pull down my notification screen, set up a pattern for unlock, and then use that. Then I switched it back to swipe to unlock and it worked fine. I'm watching it carefully. If it starts happening more often, I'm going to request a warranty replacement.

Well, mine is intermittent as well. It doesn't happen every time by any means, just sometimes. As I said, I can pull it out of my pocket every once in a while and it does it. Do you have icons to launch apps from the lock screen? You should try that and see if it unlocks for you like it does for me.

I'm having the same issue. What ROM are you guys on?

This is still occurring and very annoying. I just got a second S4 as a work phone and it has not had this issue yet. As I said, it happened with the stock ROM, but currently I am using THIS rom. Happened again twice today.

Yea that happened to me to but since I rooted it and installed wicked v5 it's never done it again

This has to be an issue with the T-Mobile ROM, I am surprised I haven't seen other posts about it. I wonder if it's because most people have some kind of security on them and I only have the swipe to unlock with no effect? In any case, my work Verizon S4 has yet to do this, whereas my T-Mobile S4 does it at least once every couple of days.

The same thing happens to me as well. I got really frustrated, so instead to swipe to unlock I now have pattern.

LG G4 shortcut menu on unlock screen not displaying?

Hey Guys,
Got my H815T variant today. Extremely happy with it thus far!
Just had a question for other owners.
I was trying to setup lock screen shortcuts, however whenever I selected it and configured it, they never showed up on the lock screen. I am using the 'swipe' security method.
Anyone else have any difficulties with this?
Cheers,
Kevin

Whirlpoolian?
There should be shortcuts on there by default. Were there any when you first used the device? If you've picked them from the lock screen settings then they should appear.
Might be a pain but hard reset might be the only thing i can think of that may work.

Mine didn't show up until I did a full power off/on after changing them around. Was thoroughly confused as to how to use them for a bit lol....

If you have any kind of lock screen security enabled, you won't be able to use lock screen shortcuts. The Shortcuts menu item under the Lock Screen menu won't show up if your lock screen security is set to anything other than 'None' or 'Swipe.'
