Hey
I have really good idea for the unlock pattern, but don't have the skills to make it
so I would like to give the idea to you
When you put an unlock pattern you can't mute the phone, but with the regular "slide to unlock" lockscreen you can. Now my idea is to make a second pattern to mute your phone or think a bit further you just could launch apps with a sepcific pattern
Would like to see some day this type of unlock screen
THX Oli
lock screen gestures already do that.
they're built into CM.
i don't know about outside of CM though.
edit: ohhh! wait, never mind.. i read wrong.
that could be neat!
i think that would be super neat except with exchange set up you dont get the option to use the unlock pattern(which I love), just a number pad if your exchange requires security
I thivk you miss understood me
you still keep the normal pattern unlock screen
but an aditional feature with that you can set up an additional pattern in the same unlockscreen so that you could just set that up to mute your phone or just launche an app
sorry for my english xP
This is a really coool idea. I hope someone does this soon enough.
I know what you mean and it would be great, I just couldn't use it because corporate security only allows pin unlock in exchange server
i have this working using gestures.
Using CM goto CyanogenMod Settings > Input Settings > goto the last line... Disable unlock slider.
Before u do that in the same Input Settings there is Lockscreen gestures... there build a gesture to unlock phone (and watever else u wanna do like launch an app etc)
lock the phone and try unlock. It works fine. Just dont forget the gesture to unlock
Its actually better than the ordinary unlock .
haha i guess the OP hasnt ever used cyanogen ROM? all this is built into cyan, very nicely i might add too!
I think he would rather it be a part of the pattern unlock screen itself.
Possibly like this (O = part of pattern X = untouched)
Unlock:
OOX
XOX
xOX
Going from top left to bottom.
Volume control:
XXO
XOX
OXX
going from top right to bottom left.
Each pattern controls a function that normal sliders would, but keeps the cool pattern unlock and security of it.
I myself would love something like this as it would be more accurate than the cm lockscreen gestures.

I agree with my preposter. I made the same experience that it sometimes is hard to get gestures working because of it's inaccuracy...

Just as the title states...
Anybody out there know of a PIN number lock screen or PIN lock app for our Eris phones?
In the latest Handcent 3.1 app ... they have added this feature to SMS/MMS for protection... And I FREAKIN LOVE IT!
Would love to see this security for everyday use for unlocking...
Anyone can walk up and "slide" open my phone at will... which sux!
Not sure if it is available in Sense based ROMs/Leaks, but CELB has the option to turn on a PIN lock in Settings -> Location and Security -> Enable PIN lock. I haven't used it so I don't know much about it.
Alternately, I know Sense/leaks have the unlock pattern option, located in the same place, it will keep people out too.
The PIN setting in CELB 2.7 isnt really a PIN unlock. It is the same dots/circles as the pattern unlock, only instead of dragging over the dots, you just punch it in like a pin would be. I guess it is actually added protection since people wont be able to guess patterns like they would with numbers.
Is there anyway I can get rid of the slide to unlock and go just with the pattern lock? As of now I have to have the slide to unlock and then have the pattern unlock which just seems pointless to have two unlocks...

Yeah, I don't understand why that is like that. When you enable the pattern lock the slide unlock should be disabled.
Yes, they seriously need to resolve this. I do not have any security turned on now because I refuse to do two different things to unlock my phone. Come on verizon/motorola!

I think it's perfect as it is. Set your security settings to enable after 10 minutes, then it wont annoy you.
If your phone went straight to pattern, you wouldn't have access to the quick slide-to silence, media player controls, (if you use a custom lock screen, other shortcuts) and you'd have to enter the pattern every time it turns the display off, even if just due to you reading something on the screen.
Sussed. Took me a while to get familiar with my Dext to come to the same solu
tion. Good to find a forum for such..am old and mid-tech tho want to learn.
I've never used the pad lock deal you guys are talking about, but there is a free app called "No Lock" that will disable the slide to unlock. I'm pretty sure it would probably take you straight to your password screen.
This is another thing Motorola changed with their version of 2.2. Stock Android takes you directly to the security screen if you have it enabled
Stock Android goes straight to pattern unlock. That's how it should be on this.
Hey Ppl....
I've found a file called libphonelock.so under /system/lib/
Maybe if you remove it with the TB, that it remove X10i lock screen?
anyone as know it?

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).
Normally I use Widget Locker, so I'm not sure how this all works...
I've set a pattern which comes on if the phone is off for 3 minutes. When that happens, first I have to swipe down and then also put the pattern in.
Can it not be set to one or the other? Simple down swipe if before 3 mins, just the pattern if longer than 3 minutes?
I've looked through options but I can't see any way to set it this way
Same problem here, my samsung galaxy s doesn't have this double lock issue
Yeah, me too.
I mentioned it to HTC Support, they said they'd pass on the feedback.
If they get enough comments they might do something about it!?

If you enable the pattern lock, you need to go through with 2 locks...this is the way it has been since 1.6. If you disable the pattern lock, its just the Swipe all the way.
looks like the Swype will stay ON whatever you do.

Nope, not on standard Android. On the N1 you press the power button and get the pattern lock.
Maybe it's always been like that on HTC Sense... not necessary though.
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...
