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!

I love you, flip! [nohomo]
Paypaling right now. It's ABOUT time someone did this!
How can I disable vibrate/haptic feedback during unlock on the vanilla lockscreen now?

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).

...................

I use Widget Locker by TeslaCoil. While it's a couple of dollars, it will give you whatever kind of lockscreen you want, and you set it to wake with any hardware button. You can also set it to unlock with a second press of a hardware button, or only a specific button (including the N1's capacitive buttons). I've got mine to wake with any button, and unlock with a custom on-screen slider.
Plus, I can put whatever I want on the lockscreen. If you want it too look like the default screen? You can do that. Widget it up? Perfectly fine. I also like the ability to make your own slider. I've got mine set so the left->right slider is unlock, and the other one launches the camera app, for those quick-or-you'll-miss-it shots.
I used to use MyLock (one of the free betas that was uploaded before the app was abandoned), but WL is more stable. Probably because you can pin it to the notification bar so Android won't kill it from time to time when it needs the memory. Or maybe because it's not beta code. I don't know, I'm not a dev, I only know the basic workings of the OS.

This sounds interesting.
But we still need something to lock the phone without using the power button.
I will purchase your suggested app and put Mixzing widget and the lock screen wigdet on it to search through music without unlocking the phone.
Thanks

If you put Widget Locker in your status bar (or launch it from app tray/homescreen, but for this purpose the status bar works better), you can go down and click it to put it in "Tool Mode" which is basically where you add all the widgets and such, as opposed to "Lock Mode" which can limit interaction (if you set it up that way). Neat trick is that you can go into the settings menu->Screen Timeout and select "Use Timeout in Tool Mode."
So you pull up WL in Tool Mode, it times out in 10 seconds, which puts the phone in lock mode, so you never have to touch the power button if you don't want to.
Neat little app eh?

..........

What if we need security a.k.a a pin code on the lockscreen?
Widgetlocker doesn't have a code system itself, so you slide to unlock then slide again then enter your pin. Pretty annoying.
Any way around this?

I found a way to do do something like that you want. As i can see you have cm7 so you have the CM settings, I guess. There are 3 lockscreen settings which can do sort of what you want:
1) Go to ->Unlock options and enable Menu unlock & Disable unlock slider
2) Go to ->Delay and timeout and put screen timeout delay and screen turn off delay to max (30min i think).
So your phone after these setting will lock after 30 min of nonuse and will unlock by pressing the menu button without showing any slice to unlock!
Hope I helped...

[Q] CM10 Lockscreen shorcut

Hi everyone, I know we can add shorcuts in the lockscreen in CM10, but I'm trying to get a shorcut to toggle between silent mode and normal mode, just as the stock lockscreen, but I can't find the right option, can someone help me do this?
Thanks in advance!

Didn't find it yet, will let you know if i do.
On a side note, anyone managed to get both the "standard" lockscreen (ie : with the unlock/camera shortcuts and so on) and the unlocking via pattern (ie : have the normal lockscreen who pops the pattern unlock once unlocked) ?
Didn't find a way to do that.

I think it's settings -> lock screen -> screen security -> show widgets before unlock.

Yes, I've read somewhere that that option in particular wasn't working, I've tested it and it worked fine

Rooh thanx a lot it works.
I hadn't put together the "displaying widgets" option and the "stock lock" activation.
Soo i guess i'll now have to search a bit more to get the mute/unmute widget on the lock screen (and get rid of that silly google shortcut on it ).
edit : after a few search and tests :
- we aren't the only ones trying to get a mute/unmute button on said lockscreen, but i didn't find a solution
- it seems pushing and maintaining pushed the two vol+/- buttons at lock screen makes the sound control panel appear and interactive (as a "poor" substitute for the mute/unmute widget on lock )
- the camera app button "works" in the way it start the app... but it still requires to unlock the lock screen and phone to get to it (at least in my tests ).

I've tried a lot of options from "activities" and it seems there's no option to do that
What I'm doing is to disable lock security and while locked I can still roll the notification bar down (when no pattern, pin or password set, of course) and toggle from the switcher on the notification bar... I still think that the lockscreen widget would be better though...
Thanks for searching too
