getting rid of *slide down* unlock screen - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

does anyone know how i can get rid of this slide to unlock screen. which is completely useless?

you can set a screen lock, or download a lockscreeen replacement
Only one I can think of offhand would be "Lock 2.0"
-Cheers

Widget Locker is what I"m using, disables to the HTC lock and replaces it with either stock android or some other design of your choice, its a paid app though

U temp or perm root. Sounds like u but perm root

I'm having trouble here. I don't have the odex file, and I'm getting read only error on adb/shell, and file explorers just don't do anything. Running Iced Glacier, S-OFF.

ya i did a perm root with visionary

now we need one for the normal HTC lock screen

I use a widget pack called Switch Pro from the market. It's a paid app but VERY customizable. One of the widgets toggles the screen lock function so that, when activated, the home screen appears with the push of any button. No lock screen at all. Very handy. There's also a "screen always on" toggle which can be customized with a timer.

How to change the lock screen.

I don't know if this has been posted or not but I've found an application that allows you to actually override the main X10 lockscreen.
Go to this link (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?7t273fpch1zet56) and download the app (It's called GOTO), add it to your SDCard and install the app on your phone. Open the app, chose your launcher and enjoy a new lockscreen.
What's the app called?
Edited first post. It's called GOTO. Click the link to download it.
great thanks
tho I like ambient time unlock screen that thing is wow
Nice idea I guess, but I always end up going to the Gmail icon whenever I try to unlock my phone. So I uninstalled it.
Also it showed me the wrong time

You can get that without the application but the original lock screen will still be there.
Go to Security>Set Unlock Pattern. Only downside is as I said, the original SE lock screen is there.
Has anyone else tried this on a resolution other than 240?
On 195 the unlock bar is not scaled right.

[Request] Stock lockscreen in Sense build

I love the Sense rom, but the default lookscreen is unusable if you put your HD2 in the jeans pocket.
I wonder if is possible to have a Sense rom with the default froyo lockscreen instead of the standar one.
I tryed many lockscreen apk from the market, but they didn't work, always have crash or the default sense slider to asnwer a call (and that is the real problem )
I think that is a common problem for many many HD2 users, and a good solution could be appreciate from everyone.
Could some developer try to realize a Sense rom with the original Froyo lockscreen?
Thank you and sorry for my poor English
its easy... get root explorer, go to root>system>apps
then search for HTC Lockscreen.apk and delete both the apk file and the supporting odex file, reboot your phone, and youre done.
EDIT: warning, however if you use your phones alarm clock, the built in HTC lockscreen has the dismiss, and the snooze button built into it, so once deleted, you will not be able to turn off the alarm, you will have to either shut down the phone, or pull the battery and reboot.

You right. But with all this trick you always have something not working.
I would like (and I think I'm not the only one) to have a Rom with all working.
how about searching for a replacement lockscreen with a slider that goes from side to side,like s2u2/iphone so it won't unlock in your jean pocket?
check this one out! http://www.appsbeyond.com/apps/screen-suite
For me deleting "HTC Lockscreen.apk" solve 50% of the problem. It solve only the default lock screen, but when you get a call, the "Call LockScreen" left as it was (up to down).
After some playing I found that deleting the "HTC" apk and installing "Full Screen Caller ID" from the market solved 98% of my accidental phone answers
there must be an option to use the stock call lock, without installing apps which cost money or have the permissions to services with cost.

I think that the problem is the sense lockscreen apk, if you do not delete it you always have some problem with lockscreen.
I wonder if deleting the apk I'll go back with the stock froyo slider also for answering or not.
Thank you
Install ""DIY Lockscreen" from the market. One of the options is to have the stock lockscreen (called 'android jog' there) and it's great and far more responsive than sense

[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'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.

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.

Slide Closed to Lock

Any options or mods to lock the device by sliding the gamepad closed?
Or to customize what app opens when the gamepad is slid open (I don't want the stock games app).
I know you can turn it off so it doesnt open anything when you slide the keypad open, go into the launcher and then press menu/settings and uncheck the one and only option, if you do this, when sliding to unlock it will just take you to your homepage.

Awesome. Didn't know this. Any way to make it not unlock if you slide it open?
Thanks!
Anyone know the solution to the first question?
Locking the screen when the phone is slid shut?
Edit: Screen Tools is supposed to be able to do this but for some reason it doesn't work.

Someone actually cares?
OK I'll TRY to update Screen Tools to support the Xperia Play.
WOW. Never in a million years would I have thought the dev would drop by! Hi! =)
FWIW, it worked on 2.3.2 but now on 2.3.3 it doesn't work.
-my phone is rooted
-I did hit the Grant Permission button
-the app shows up checked under the list under Admin
-"Enable Screen Tools 2" is checked in the app menu screen as well
With all the above, nothing happens when I slide the phone shut. Otherwise your app works great. Disables lock screen etc.
By default, the phone enters in horizontal state when the pad gets opened.
hatcyl, if you need anything, whistle ^^
App updated, don't worry this users the official API so it should work with anyone.
I added a function to lock on navigation closed (DPAD), so Xperia Play users should check that option.
