Hi, I've seen a lot of video's out there that featured an unlock screen where you would drag your finger through some sort of square maze to unlock your screen. The pattern you need to make seems customizable.
Is there any way I can get this unlock screen in an 1.6 rom? It looks pretty cool!
Here is a screenshot of what I'm talking about:

that is in all roms, goto setting then security, then set unlock pattern
Do'h.. just found it.. thanks.
I thought it was simply an unlock screen though, not a security measure..
Now I have to press menu as well as make a pattern to unlock.. not sure if this is what I want
Quick question there is any way that i can change the unlock screen that instance of using a pattern you can actually use a combination of numbers to unlock your phone(like normal phones that you enter the unlock code)?
I have been searching but have not come up with an answer. Is there a way to use numbers to unlock the phone instead up the pattern unlock?
thanks ,
Closest thing I know of on 2.1 is using the "pattern lock" buttons as "pins" you just press them instead of swiping.
DarchDroid has it.
On Froyo/CM6 there IS an option to use a number pad pin. So it depends on what to run
Thanks for the info. I am getting ready to flash CM6 rom.
does anyone know how exactly, when your phone is locked, to skip the left-to-right swipe and go directly to the unlock pattern?
Sometimes, when the screen is dark, and i press the options button, it goes right to the unlock pattern... but i can't figure out how to reproduce the behavior reliably.
thanks, guys!

NOT POSSIBLE, i want that too
well... thanks for the reply regardless. I don't know why it works every once in a while.
is not possible to have unlock pattern first.
I am sure this has been dealt with, but I have tried so many searches and found nothing that could help me.
I cannot find any setting anywhere to keep the screen locked even when the keyboard slides out, and sometime sin my pocket the keyboard slides slightly but enough to turn the screen on and unlock the device.
What can I do? do I have to replace the basic lock app?
please point me in the direction of existing threads if you know of any or solutions.
cheers

Yes I would like to know that
I solve it by also using pattern type screen lock (in security settings with immediate lock on after) thus even after sliding, the HTC default lock will be unlocked, but the pattern will be required to completely unlock the phone...
If I'm not mistaken, HTC designed the Desire Z and the G2 to unlock when the keyboard is opened. Naturally, on paper, this would make sense given that you could just slide the keyboard to go right to typing. However, as stated before, if you put the pattern lock, then it shouldn't be able to unlock even when you slide.
if you have a pattern or PIN lock it won't unlock when opened.
Now. There is a nice elegant solution that I didn't think of.
And there I was trying to be simple and all I needed waas added security, thanks guys.

i find this more convenient this way as i can just slightly tilt the keyboard-screen flip to unlock the phone right away.
Replace your springs in the hinge so it will close tightly and not open in your pocket

Also, using pattern prevent accidental unlocks when the screen slides along some material that it respond to. I don't use the pattern for security but as additional screen lock because the default lock is just poor
So I set up a Pattern Lock. I really like it.
only issue is having to still do the slide down lock AND then the pattern lock.
I cannot find the setting to turn off the slide lock.
what have I missed?
If you rooted your phone and installed a ROM like Cyanogenmod ... you'd have the option to unlock by using the trackpad instead hitting the power button and then slide down to unlock.
