I like the idea of having a security pattern lock on my phone, but what I hate about the X10 (or it's an android thing) is if I do the security pattern I still have to slide the slider over to unlock the screen. Is there a way to configure this so I just use the unlock/security pattern as my unlock screen.
You guys understand what I mean?!

alot of custom ROMS, you don't have to slide anything if you have pattern/password/PIN lock on. when you wake the screen you are greeted with whichever security feature you chose and you enter your pattern/password/PIN and you're in

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.
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?
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...

Hello
yesterday i saw my friends galaxy s and when he wakes up the phone from sleep he only "use" the unlock pattern and then open the phone. But with my DZ i get the HTC sense lock and then the unlock pattern draw...i just want the unlock pattern without htc sense lock before is that possible?

Not sure if this is what you are talking about, but maybe try the No Lock app from the market...
hmm let me explain this I get the standard lockscreen display before I can unlock the phone, so it goes:
On/Off Button -> Lock Screen -> unlock pattern
i want it to go On/Off Button -> Unlock Pattern
is that possible?

Did you try the app I suggested? I think it does exactly what you are looking for...
There are also other apps on the market that disable the keyguard.
yes i did but it remove all unlocking...even the unlock pattern...i just want to remove the sense lockscreen not unlock pattern

Ah sorry, I forgot it did that (I use WidgetLocker now to actually replace the lockscreen). I also don't run Sense, so there's normally no lockscreen anyway when pattern lock in enabled.
Looked online and seems like it is a common complaint among Sense users. No good solutions appear to exist from just my quick searches (short of switching to a different). Maybe someone else will have some ideas...
k thx for ur answer i hope someone have a solution
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...
