Yo.. Is there a way that when i unclock my phone wint finger that phone will go in the lock screen, and not to main screen? TU
Wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose of using imprint?
I want a way to lock the phone using imprint, vs using the power button.
With the official android stock image that is not possible, I've already asked on the google product forum.
Otherwise you should search a rom and from what I can read here, the "pure nexus" rom makes it possible!

I figure I will bring this up again. I am posting this in dev because I think this is the only place/way for a potential solution.
The Evo is the only that behaves this way--when the pattern lock is enabled, the HTC lock screen (or AOSP lock screen, if the HTC is removed) still pops up before the pattern lock.
There are plenty of tools out there that disables the lock screen, but they do not solve the problem. Using the menu shortcut on the HTC lock is still not a good solutino.
I simply want the Evo behave like my Epic, N1, an other Android phones, where the slide unlock goes away when pattern is eneabled.
How?
I'd appreciate some help.
Thanks.

By enabling the lock screen gesture on my evo running CM7 it disables the slide to unlock and unlocks immediately after you put in the pass trace. so i'm not sure why this is needed. definitely in the wrong section. should be under Q/A

yea probably...
Thread moved to Q&A.
I'd like to bump this, I'm having the same problem. I've done some searching and as he said, I can't find any *real* solution to it. Some suggest apps but that takes out the lock screen altogether. When I hit the power button, I want to do swipe and be in. This is really a pain in the butt so hopefully we can find some answers.
Does anyone know of a way to get rid of the htc lock screen? Or if the non sense version of "Android Revolution" uses the standard android lock screen? I know it sounds petty, but it is my biggest pet peve about sense branded phones. Any help would be appreciated.
I use an application called No Lock. It has a widget that you can switch between having the screen lock on or off. Or you could just switch it off from the within the app.

53, there are 'themes'/'skins' you can download which have various lock screens. I personally prefer the look of liamstears(blue), which you should find works fine if you're using RevolutionHD ROM. There's a link to liamstears theme in the 2nd post of the RevoHD thread.
Actually, if you're feeling adventurous, you can create your own theme (there's a thread on this forum somewhere about how to do it)... I believe you're just looking to change the lock screen look, rather than getting rid of it completely, right?
I was given Widgetlocker by a friend (He gave me a 10$ Google Play Gift Card) yesterday. I noticed that Widgetlocker doesnt have a Pattern or Pin Lock option on it, and I get my stock lockscreen on my Galaxy S3 immediately afterwards, which seems incredibly redundant.
Don't get me wrong, the application is great, and I haven't had any issues aside from this so far.
Is there any way to force Widgetlocker to use a pattern or pin lock? Or alternatively is there a way to add a camera shortcut on the stock touchwiz lockscreen?
You probably have to disable the stock lock screen for it to not show up after, or maybe a setting on widget locker, and I think the only way to get a camera shortcut is to use ripple on stock lockscreen

Well that bites. I suppose I will live without it, Its not like it takes me more than 1-5 seconds to draw my pattern/pin anyway.
Its really like that for a reason.
If you can access the camera w/o using your pin/pw/pattern, it makes using the security features pointless.
From camera you can open gallery/messaging and from there you can get to your contacts and dialer. So if someone stole or found your phone they'd have unsecured, easy access to most of your stuff.

I use lightning launcher ultimate (which has lock screen) and after clicking an app, it displays the stock pattern screen, then takes you to your shortcut, thereby security is still useful, choppy!

Actually WidgetLocker works this way too.
Enable pin/pattern on phone and ensure the option in Widget Locker to disable the stock screen is not checked.
Completely remove the swipe to unlock button and don't replace it. You'll have a blank WidgerLocker lock screen with a clock.
Long press and add apps and widgets. Change security to lock screen immediately. Power power button. Click a widget on homescreen. You'll be prompted to enter the pin/pattern! You have access to all your apps on the locker screen, with pin/pattern security simply by disabling the slide to unlock button. You're welcome (albeit months and months late.)

I realize this thread is old but I feel compelled to contribute my .02 for the benefit of those like me who's search for help on this topic leads them here.
It seems to me the OP is simply pointing out the fact that Widgetlocker doesn't offer a PIN or pattern unlock feature like those found in most other lock screen replacement apps. IMHO this a CATASTROPHIC omission by the devs of what I believe is an otherwise-outstanding app! I mean it -- I LOVE this app! The fact that something so simple and avoidable is keeping me from being able to use it pains me gravely. To be clear, yes, it appears WL can be set to give deference to system PIN/pattern security as mentioned in another post but someone please explain to me how doing this doesn't defeat the point of installing the app in the first place!
I agree that there are potential security concerns in having lock screen shortcuts bypassing the pin/pattern lock; I however disagree that such a thing necessarily "makes using security features pointless." Let's be frank. Some of us have much bigger security concerns than worrying about who might be snooping through our pictures or contact lists, but even in the event that such things are the aggregate of one's sensitive "stuff" there are ways to achieve essential functionality without turning over the keys to one's deepest, darkest secrets. One could, for example, simply download a basic camera app without a gallery link, or a standalone dialer app with a null (or decoy) contact list. With a bit of hackery one needn't even give up the comfort or utility of full-feature apps in this regard. Failing this, there are still plenty of other apps one might want quick and unfettered access to which do NOT pose an inherent security risk (i.e. music player, flashlight, weather, stopwatch/timer, calculator, universal remote, fruit ninja, etc.). What's the point of having shortcuts/widgets on the lock screen if you have to unlock your device to access them? Why not just use the shortcuts/widgets on the home screen if you're going to go to the trouble to make an effort commensurate to that end anyhow?
Hello,
The lock screen on my phone is much less bright than the home screen. I know this is supposed to happen, but is there any way to disable or change this so that my lock screen is the same brightness as the home screen? It would make reading the clock in light much easier. I've tried a few lock screen replacements but most of them include a "swipe to unlock" or don't work too well with the lockscreen music player and notifications.
Additionally, if there's a way to make the pattern lock dots invisible, that would be nice.
Phone I'm currently using is a Samsung Galaxy Fame.
Thanks!
Sir,
Please stand by until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.
For more questions about that or reply to the thread you must register an account on XDA.

Hi guys is it possible to change lock screens ie with go locker or something similar, im downgraded and rooted, many thanks

Kind of?
I downloaded it using Mobogenie and the custom lockscreen does work, but the bottom bar pop ups and then after you unlock or use one of the options it brings up your Amazon lock screen
So you can have a fairly nice lock screen, then have the navigation bar popup, then unlock it, then have to unlock again. This is all I've found so far
I used Next Lock Screen by Microsoft. It's in the play store. It's perfect because it let's me use the auto hibernate (non root) feature without leaving my phone totally insecure. It's also kind of cool with all its features. I can't speak on how it affects battery life. I don't use my fire phone at all. I just installed my apps and wait patiently for someone much smarter than me to get root on 3.6.8
