Ok, I installed S2U2 and since the default lock is still on I had to restart to get back in my phone. I am wanting to disable the default one so I can use any other one. What suggestions do you people have?
Look here:

hello all...i had a quick question regarding throttle lock...the reason im using it is as an alternative to s2u2 bc that is a battery hog on my tp2...i was wondering if anyone knows through experience whether or not throttlelock will consume less battery power...also, is there a way to get it to lock whenever u put the phone into "sleep" mode (pressing the top power button to shut off the screen)...thats really the only thing i want to use it for...for example, when i press the top power button and the screen goes off, how do i get throttlelock to be whats on the screen when i "wake" the phone back up...it seems to me that the only options are to have it activate once u restart (power off and on) the phone or by pressing the throttle lock icon...i would find it very more useful if u could use it like s2u2 (turn screen off and tada!!! theres throttlelock)...can anyone help???
try smartlock. It works with the 6.5 lock and adds the functionality of locking when the phone is powered down. Search for the cab and there are instructions on what box to check to get that functionality.
will smartlock work with 6.1?
I tried s2u2 and also found that it seemed to use more power (based on readings from Homescreen++). Using throttlelock doesn't seem to have much noticable increase at all.
As for getting it to lock when you turn the screen off and wake try the following ...
Go into settings > Lock > Change 'idle time before lock' to '1' then click ok to save settings. Then exit the config go back in and change this back to '0' and 'ok'/save.
It works on my xperia as your wanting ... e.g, turn off screen using button on top, turn on and I need to enter the sequence to activate. I can't find the thread that I read the above solution on at the moment but if your struggling I will see if i can find it.
Throttlelock seems to be ok for me. It does not take much RAM, and does not consume that much power. I do have the lock thing to 0, and throttle lock comes up whenever i turn the phone on.
I used to use smartlock, but for some reason it doesnt work on the build i have!

I realise this is probably a daft suggestion but you do have autolock switch in the config?
Are you using 0.7?
Heres a link to the Throttlelock website wiki explaining the functions.
Might be of some help.
I'm having some trouble with the incoming call feature but apart from that it seems pretty stable.
I've tried the other options but the pattern unlock does it for me

Do you mean the sim pinlock?
On mine the simlock asks for the password when i start up and i use throttlelock as a general screenlock.

it's the pin lock for the whole because i use exchange mail, it's a security pin that everytime the phone goes to sleep, i have to enter it in. i did find a fix for this, it's in the reg file.
i was wondering if the pro2 has a lock screen(connecting coordinates thing) like on the android phones?
yes there is, it called throttle lock, it's free so you can find it simply on the internet

thank you very much
I tried it and it seemed to lock up my phone. I was using the keypad lock that came with the phone, and it wouldn't show the home screen after unlocking. Had to remove throttle lock using active sync anf then the remove programs app. Does anyone have any ideas how to correct?
solution
Use this lock it works flawlessly in tp2 and locks your phone after stand by

You cant use both the lock screen. You have disable WM and use Throttle, or use Throttle and disable WM.
I installed the cookies editor and was messing around with the lockscreen options. now I cannot get my default lock screen back. the one that is supposed to be my default is now a tiny unlock button at the bottom left
bump i guess

Remove
Take cht off, then see if lockscreen is ok? if so, reinstall cookies, & don't make same mistake again,, lol
first thing that comes to mind is to install S2U2 (in the end you might even decide to keep it, so problem solved altegether), and have it set to disable the standard lockscreen, then after softreset, uninstall it,and it *should* re-enable your stock lockscreen

ZOMG. This is definitely a step in the right direction.
I'm going to contact the developer and find out if I can get the code to the lockscreen disable portion of the app. Would love to see if I (or someone with actual Android programming experience) could tweak that into something that disables the swipe lock but can keep the pattern lock enabled.
-edit-
Email sent, though BIP's developer is out of town this weekend. If anyone knows of any other apps that accomplish this, I'd be interested to know.
lock 2.0 disables it, as well as the app "no-lock".
problem is, even with the new version of battery indicator, every app ive tried the stock slider still manages to come back someway somehow , battery indicator seems to be the best solution so far, and im wondering if its lock 2.0 that somehow brings back the stock slider.

Hey have you ever been able to receive a response from the dev?
If you are seeking a "new" lock screen, or the "no slider" look.
I highly recommend Widget Locker.
It has a root bypass of the lock screen "5 second rule" which starts up the "old" lock screen.
I bought the app, used the root bypass option, and i havent seen my old lock screen yet.
They even have a keypress unlock, if you want a very simple lock screen, and you can hold your back button down for .5-2sec or so to unlock.
Though, I dont use the pattern lock, so i have no idea if it works in combination with this or not?
Edit: Disregard, I didn't realize the age of this thread D:
Sorry for resurrecting such an old thread. Funny thing is that I actually did start using WidgetLocker and I DO sometimes get the stock lock screen before it starts, so I was looking for a way to completely disable the stock lock. There are some apps out there that remove the stock lock but it causes every hardware button to wake the device up, which is no good. (This includes battery indicator as I just found out)
Yea, thats no good, it kinda defeats the purpose of having some sort of alternative lock screen when it wakes up on key press like that
I'm not sure why, but i have never got the lock screen to pop up again, unless i kill widgetlocker myself.
Well, if you indeed find out how to get rid of that lockscreen, i would love to know, it would be nice to not have a app constantly running pretending to be an alternate lockscreen, you know?
I am using the Extended Controls app from the market.
With it you can enable & disable just about everything the X10 uses (including the lock screen).
Is it at all possible to remove the T-Mobile screen lock? I want to use a pattern lock and not have to double unlock my screen. Thanks in advance.

what T-Mobile screen lock..?
are you talking about the lockscreen?
It's not T-Mobile lockscreen, it's HTC's. A regular lockscreen. You probably got confused, because it shows the current cellular carrier.
You can remove it by removing HtcLockScreen.apk from /system/app/.
You need root for that.
And I don't remember if the AOSP lockscreen that will appear, when switched to pattern lock, won't show the unlock arrows first. I didn't use it for a very long while.

If you want to stop using it completely, don't worry bout rooting your phone if that's your only issue. On the Android market there's a few lock screen replacement apps, that override the HTC one. Lock 2.0 an widgetlocker are the two in recommend the most, preferably widgetlocker, bit more options with it.
If I helped, give thanks, if you please.
