Since the WM phone lock had failed me twice by "forgetting" my password and cost me 2 hard-resets, I've decided to give it up for the S2U2 password lock instead. However, is there a way I can keep the default lock slider screen while using the S2U2 PIN lock? I know there's a tweak to get rid of the default auto-lock but I actually want to keep it and disable the S2U2 one.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

I decided to use the 'lock' icon...and set up my phone with a numeric lock. Now I absolutely HATE it....
Is there any way I can stop the phone from using the numeric lock?
Also, if I download and decide to use that sliding unlock program, will that override the numeric lock if there's no way the phone can stop using the numeric lock??

Goto start menu, settings, I think Lock is on the first screen to turn it off. If you use slide to unlock there is no input to unlock. just the slider.
Thank you very much!
Now....trying to figure out how to do the slide to unlock thing....
Copy the cab to your phone thru active sync or SD card. Soft reset after install. Then goto programs and start S2U2. You might get a error msg after install. Pay it no mind.
How do you use the new WM6.5 without setting a password?
On the demonstration videos of WM6.5 around the web, there is no password screen when they slide the lock. But I can only activate the lock when i also set a password.
Hopefully someone can help solve this.
I do not want to use another program when Microsoft finally implemented this feature in the new Mobile OS.

If you are trying to disable the default pin lock goto settings-Lock. Under password uncheck "prompt if phone unused for" thats all I did.

If you press and hold the hang up button you can choose lock phone - no password setting required
seems like you should be able to reprogram a key to lock..
SmartLock 1.7E
Hi all
Look for SmartLock 1.7E. You can set it to "Suspend Lock" which means every time the device is resumed from being suspended its locked.

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?

Fabulous, Works very nicely. What about removing the lock button on the home screen? Anyone know how to get rid of it? Maybe change it to something else?

how do you re in able the WM built in lock? i dont like the su2u and want my old lock back.
I am using a dot pattern for security to unlock my phone now so how do I make the initial drag/slide lock go away? I want the dots to show as soon as I turn on the screen, rather than having to slide unlock first everytime.
Thx
You can't do it. I managed to do it by keeping a titanium backup file of Settings Storage from version 2.1 u1. I restore it, set my lock pattern, and it completely disables the slide to unlock.
bummmer
is this still the case? no way to turn off slide to unlock and keep pattern?
Please help me...
I just bought the htc legend. I love the pattern lock screen which I set, so that i have to make a combination to unlock the screen, but as it is, the standard "slide lock sreen" is also there!!! How can I remove the slide screen lock so ONLY my pattern unlock screen is activated??
Please advice........
You can't. Sorry (It really annoyed me too)
Have you tried app called Nolock ? it works perfectly - removing the lock screen.. not sure about the patern lock though.

It removes pattern lock too
I guess it's needed to allow the "Lock phone after" x mins of inactivity.
I've however replaced HTC's with the AOSP one, have the sound button to mute the ringer
If you replace the HTC lock screen by another, that means we can disable it I guess...
When I was on CM 6.1, I just got the pattern code directly when I woke up the phone, no lockscreen !
You replace it so you can delete it right ?
I Guess I'm not helping, but i'm on one of the last ROM's (CM7 B2) and I only get the pattern unlock...
I don't understand why you would want no lockscreens at all (if that's what you're after)...
no just the pattern. So you don't have to slide down the lock screen and then make your code. It's an habit and it doesn't bother me much, but it's just a bit more quick without the slide lockscreen.
What ROM are you running now? Or is it the standard version of android?
I'm using BlaY0 B.07, sense based (otherwise there would be an option to remove the lockscreen).
What I don't understand though, is why can I replace my lockscreen, but can't remove it and keep the pattern code.
Or maybe the lockscreen I flashed (cryshop's, for sense only) is including the pattern code...
