I have my lockscreen set up as a simple swipe. No pattern or code or anything.
I have noticed that I can swipe down to get to the quicksettings, then press the button for the settings menu and from there I have access to the phone.
Not a major issue, just something I didnt expect to happen.
I believe it's normally like that. With a pattern or code, it doesn't allow you to proceed without the pattern or code.

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!
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).
This question has definitely been asked before but I haven't found any real solutions to the problem. How can I disable the swipe/drag to unlock feature without disabling the lock screen?
I've already tried NoLock and other 3rd party apps and while they have worked, they all usually disable the lock screen along with the swipe to unlock button.
I've found that when it comes to the Android OS, there is more than one way to do something. Since I have root, is there any file that can be edited to disable the swipe to unlock screen without disabling the pin code/pattern lock?
This has been bothering me for quite a while. I'm really hoping there is some file on the OS that I can edit and disable the swipe to unlock feature.
So, anyone know how?
How the hell are you supposed unlock the screen?? That's my question if your getting rid of the slider/tab what's going to unlock it? I'm lost your question makes no sense...

Enabling pin or pattern lock is suppose to disable the stock lockscreen.

What this person is asking is if there is a way to disable the screen with the time/date that says "Swipe screen to unlock". If you have a security lock screen with pin, pattern, etc or an application like "Go Locker," you still have the annoying "Swipe screen to unlock" that displays first. You have to swipe it on that screen, and then you are on the next Lock Screen to enter your pin, pattern, etc. It is two layers of protection. Many people are finding the "Swipe screen to unlock" annoying when they have a security screen that is also configured.
I just got a Note 2 for AT&T, I rooted, flashed Team Asylums slim and fast ROM, and everything was been awesome until... I decided to set up a pattern unlock, and did. But I lost my lock screen shortcuts so I decided to remove the pattern. When I go into setting and enter my patter again I only have the option to enter a new pattern, a pin or a password -- the none, slider and face option are grayed out **see picture below** Any ideas?
Is your device encrypted?
No I do not have it encrypted and it is not an administrator issue, I think it is related (aside from my stupidity) to a VPN app (open VPN for android) that I started setting up but deleted before I finished. I'm guessing it left a security certificate in the system that is preventing me from going without a secure lock screen. I think it is time to swallow my pride/factory wipe and stop goofing around with settings I don't understand.

Before installing the new Kit Kat upgrade, I had no password and was able to press the top power button to awaken or sleep the home screen without also having to swipe the little "lock" icon upward. With the new updated software, I now have to swipe the little lock every single time. So now I have two steps to complete before accessing my phone. Does anyone know how to remove it?
The first two options in the settings / security menu.
No Lock app
No Lock has been working for me: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock&hl=en
I'm rooted but running stock rom.

I have no screen lock at all on those settings and I still have to swipe to get to my home screen. This was removable in the previous update.
Huh? Set the first option to what kind of lockscreen you want pin pattern etc. Then put a check on the second option. This should bring up the security screen when the phone first wakes, then once you enter your pin pattern etc it should go straight to your home screen.

I do not want to have to swipe the "lock" icon. I never needed to before and now with KitKat I do. I'm wondering whether there is a way to remove that little feature.
These are my current settings.
I have no pin or lock, yet I still have to swipe the little lock up before accessing my home screen. Is there a way to go straight to my home screen without having to swipe the lock icon up?
That is very strange. I have the same settings for mine, screen lock none and the bypass lockscreen on wake box checked. When my phone is off and i hit the power button it goes straight to my home screen, no lock swipe involved.
Are you rooted?

Ditto. There must be something messed up with his rom or some app interfering with the settings.
There is also a setting for skipping the lock screen in the Sense 5 Toolbox so you could try that too if you're rooted and have Xposed.
No i think the reason it does this for me is because i have sense 5 toolbox and never realized it was an always on option. If your rooted, and dont want xposed or sense 5 toolbox, i made a flashable zip that will remove the lock screen.

Well then either root, or as stated in an earlier post try no lock from the market. Its free and does not require root.
