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.

Thanks for the suggestion!
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.

Anyone know how this can be changed? The motion of having to drag the wallpaper off the screen is pretty lame.
I've been searching for this.
Edit: Adding a lock pattern overrides this or you can look at getting one of the lock screens from the market.
Its the same as the infuse minus the puzzle... Which i miss
.sorta.
Use widget locker?

root will do it. I bet if we just delete their lockscreen.apk it'll default to the standard android pull-tabs.
Also, yeah, worst lockscreen EVAR. It's like they didn't even try, lol.
software can, and will, be hacked. no worries.
I personally like the lockscreen. I even had it on my epic 4g by choice.

There's one called Agile Lock that mimics the sense 3.0 lock screen pretty well, plus lets you put any widget you want on it! I've been using it since yesterday and no wake locks/force closes anything weird. I got the paid version, not sure about the free version.
But yeah, I hate the stock lock screen.

Yeah, only the paid version allows you to change the widgets but you can accumulate points on the free version to unlock the feature...at least that's how it was when I last used it

Really? I hated the fact that the pin didn't override the lock screen on my Photon.
Why would I want to worry about accidentally activating the screen (the purpose of the lock screen) when I already entered a security pin?
The lockscreen is better then the one on the 8 lock mod on the epic..

I have to agree, that ugly swiping off the wallpaper really seems like they didn't even try. The default Android lock screen is much better.
I went out and bought WidgetLocker just because it was so bad.
i just wished we could at least change the picture
i love the shortcuts for missed notifications
try:
Settings
Display
Screen Display
Lock Screen Wallpaper
Lets you choose whatever you want!
I used this as my lockscreen wallpaper LOL:

ive searched a good bit so if its in the open i apologize. does anyone know if its possible to completly eliminate the stock lock screen or point me to some directions showing how? i know i could just use this that or the other lock screen app but i just really wanna know if its possible to delete that lock screen. thanks in advance, veritas
Try "no lock" in the market

thanks for your reply. i was trying to use the new golocker that the go dev team had released and i noticed nine times outta ten when i woke the phone id have to slide the stock lock out the way and then slide the golocker next. i tried the no lock app but i guess it works to good as it disabled both lock screens. it would b nice to have golocker only. but thanks for the advice.

If you have the lockmod then you can go into the lockscreen settings and set the style to "none".

what 10 second rule?
Its when u shut the screen and immediately wake it again there is a delay bc of android os limitations so widget locker has to wait like 3 seconds before showing.
I mixed up the 3 second android rule with the food fall on ground 10 second rule.

I used to have an app on an iPhone that allowed you to just TAP anywhere on the lock screen to unlock rather than having to slide the slider bar.
Looking for something similar for this device. I want to be able to tap ANYWHERE on the lockscreen to unlock it.
Widgetlocker allows a "TAP" on a single very small spot on the lockscreen but not "anywhere" to unlock. Close, but doesn't quite get the prize.
Also, is there a way to have the lockscreen stay on longer then it does?
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Try "tap tap app". It uses your proximity sensors, you can just swipe your fingers over the sensors. It's not the same as using the lockscreen but similar

Thanks, but the feature mentioned above does not support codes so it does not work when the phone is locked.
Do you have a GS3?
Why not try adding the camera app to one of the shortcuts on the lockscreen?

This is why:
1) Faster camera launch.
2) You don't have to enter a password every time you want to take a picture yet your phone its still locked/secured.
3) If you want someone else to take a pic, you have to stop and unlock the phone first or give them your password.
4) When the shortcut is on the lock screen, you have to enter the password before allowing you to take the pic. You'll miss the moment.
5) With Windows 7 and Crapple you don't have to unlock and could quickly launch the camera. Also, all the pictures you take at the moment are visible w/o unlocking.
It would be a good feature to have on the GS3.
Would be a great add on

of course that would be an inconvenience if you have a password on your phone (which i understand most people do.) i on the other hand do not as i dont let my phone out of my sight. i use the shortcut but thats just me and like they say to each his own right.
I would assume if you have a pin unlock code or something else it would be there no matter what app you use

There is an app for this but it requires having a dedicated shutter button on the device.
May I ask how you plan to take a picture without having some sort of GUI?

If memory serves me right, that has a dedicated camera button. If you really really really want this feature, you could remap the home button to function as your camera button, then run the navigation bar that appears in galaxy nexus devices and devices without hardware buttons
Can't you make a tasker function for that

You can wait for Android 4.2 since this functionally is now built into the lock screen.

Yes it does but I didnt have to use the button to do it. You pushed the unlock button, then slid the lock ring onto the camera icon (assuming you had it on your lock screen) and you could take a picture. You would see the 3 sec preview of it, and then take more pics. If you tapped the small pic of the last image, and it would take you to the pattern/number lock. That way someone couldn't see your pics without the pass.

hi all
is it possible to completely replace the stock lock screen with another ?
i understand you can download lock screen replacements from the play store but they don't actually replace the lock screen, on may occasions if you lock and unlock within 1 to 2 seconds, the stock lock screen appears.
is there any way around this ?
There is no way around this unless you use a custom rom or what not. Just use the lock screen replacements on the market.

Why don't you just totally disable the stock lock screen in settings and then use a 3rd party lockscreen?
