REQUEST: Go Straight to Pattern Unlock, Disable MenuMenu

I can tell by all the lock screens and mods such as this that this may be doable. I bought the phone a day after launch and immediately wanted this:
Disable Menu-Menu to unlock
Disable the HTC lock screen (pulldown style - I hate this)
Most importantly - Only the END key should power the phone (not MENU) and it will go straight to the pattern unlock.
Please and thanks. Currently on DamageControl v2.05.

Awesome idea. The only reason I don't use a pattern is because it's a pain to go through 2 lockscreens if your phone locks itself while browsing the web or something.

Go for it!! Let us know how it turns out...

I would pay $10 to disable menu to unlock. I found an app on the marketplace that did it once, but it was very buggy and caused more problems than it solved.
I would also like a keypad (as in, numbers) instead of pattern unlock.

I'm running Freshhh 2.0d with the Vanilla lock screen, and flipz has made it to where menu, menu will not unlock the phone. Pressing menu does turn the display back on, but you have to actually swipe on the screen to unlock. I have been using it for a day or two now, and I have to say that it works great. My phone doesn't randomly unlock in my pocket anymore, and I don't have to use the security unlock to keep it from doing it!!! Thanks flipz!!!

A lockscreen with numbers like on the iphone and the palm pre would be nice. i dont like the pattern one.

Strange.... I am running the same Vanilla Lock Screen from Geekforme/Fresh on Damage Control v.2.05 and Menu Menu bypasses the lock screen and Menu (once) powers the display with the Eclair style lock screen.
EDIT: I see what you're talking about now. That's nice, almost perfect, now all I want is the Eclair lock screen disabled too and to go straight to Pattern!! So close!

Yeah it took me a second to find it lol. On 6.1.2 the option was in a diffrent location and on 7 RC2 I had to look for a good minute to find out where that settings new location was.
Moreover. I love the guesture lock and its on only thing I use. I hae guestures for everything. I am still getting use to the guesture feature for texting. I just cant ever remember to use it lol.

[Q] Volume Button Wake

I'm looking for a simple app that allows the the Atrix to be woken up via the volume buttons.
I know that there are several other apps, but they all center around removing the lock screen, or replacing it. I *want* the lock screen, I just also want to be able to use the volume keys to wake the phone up.
Is there ANYTHING out there like this? Just this SIMPLE function? I'd even use a bloated app if it allowed me to use the stock lock screen.

Just try widget locker. You can customize it so it can be simple like you want it.

I gave it a try, and it *almost* works like I want it. I use the fingerprint to unlock, and if you have both the pattern and the fingerprint set, it appears as though after the device wakes up you still need to swipe the screen. This is a hassle. Maybe I'm missing something in the configuration? Also, it appears that WidgetLocker is laggy as hell.

I specifically said that I *WANT* my lock screen.
I only need the ability to wake up the device by pressing a volume key.

I'm not sure why you are upset?
I asked for an application that allowed me to keep my factory lock screen, and NoLock does not do that. If you have "NoLock" enabled, then the volume keys wake up the phone... they also UNLOCK the phone. If you disable "NoLock", you have the lock screen back, but the volume keys do not wake the phone.
Maybe if you had actually read the post, you would have realized why I responded the way I did.

I know there's an app for it. But I can't remember.
One thing is if you have tasker set context volume buttons, task screen on.

I cant find any way to choose the volume button in tasker context. any helpful suggestions?

I'm just starting out with Tasker, and man are there some endless possibilities. I also can't find any references to the volume buttons. Any help would be appreciated.

Me too, that would be perfect.

For now, you caa use "anyunlock" on market. This tool is not stable if you use with advance task killer and fast reboot. This is shorterm solution with me!

This app right in the FAQ section says, "Can I use the standard Android Lock Screen", and the answer from the developer is no... Still not what I'm looking for.

Any luck finding that?

WidgetUnlocker now allegedly supports the finger print scanner of the ATRIX. I have found it unreliable at BEST.
I'm waiting for another release to see if the capability gets more stable.

The problem with wu is that it's canceling the slide to answer and that renders it useless.

Nolock will prevent full lockscreen but allow to bring out of sleep mode via either volume buttons or power button. The timed sleep mode in settings will put phone to sleep.

[Q] Is it possible to get rid of the slide to unlock screen?

So is there anyone that has developed something that will allow you to get rid of the unlock screen completely? I think it would be nice to just be able to hit the button and not have to slide the screen every time.

i havent used this app so i dont know if it works or not but it does what you want.
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock&feature=search_result

I use Battery Indicator Pro. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.darshancomputing.BatteryIndicatorPro
The free version can't disable the lockscreen.
Just search for "disable lockscreen on the market.

Awesome! Thanks you guys!

On CM7 there is a feature for disabling the lockscreen.

Except that it re-enables all the time. (Issue 2121 on the Bug Tracker).
Been waiting a long time for this to be fixed.

I know there is a app that uses your proximity sensor to detect if the phone is in your pocket, and if not it will unlock your phone when you press the power button.
Going trough my app list now.
Edit:
Found it, it's called Intelligent Keylock Unlocker

I found the same, BUT!
Disabling instead from the recently added 'Tablet Tweaks' menu means it stays disabled. No idea what's wrong with the other disable methods, but this one works. Yay!

Now i can reconfigure my Power Widget as i don't need that particular toggle switch any more!

Theres an app on the market called no lock. all it does is gets rid of the lock screen. I was using battery indicator pro for it but hated the notification that was always there.

After unlocking how do I get it to go immediately to my home screen?

After unlocking my phone with my password, it goes immediately to my phone keypad. How do I change it to go immediately to my home screen instead? I've searched through my settings multiple times and in the user guide and have searched online and I can't find anything. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance!!

Are you using the stock launcher?

Sorry to sound dumb, but ... I have no clue. How can I find out?

When swiping the lockscreen do it in the center, if you swipe close to the left it will trigger the phone shortcut and it will launch the phone app
