Possible to remove the "Lock Keyboard"

Hello Guys..
I was wondering if it is possible to remove the "unlock keyboard" screen? Because when you also use the lock pattern, u have to unlock 2 times - that sux... Much better just to remove the standard lock and only use the pattern?

No Lock keeps all the buttons active so the phone turns on in your pocket etc. Not a solution...............................imho

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

[Q] Where are the Lock Screen Settings?

For the life of me, I cannot find where the lock screen settinsg are on the SGS3. Anyone let me know?
Thanks!

settings
security

Yes there are some lock screen settings there but in terms of changing what apps appear on the lockscreen and other type settings it appears that AT&T in their infinite wisdom has decided that's too many options to worry about. Don't want to confuse us users or anything.

Wow...so the reveiws I saw about adding/removing widgets to the lock screen is a moot point for us AT&T folks now...awesome.
How about modifying the apps that are available on the lock screen?

Maybe I'm blind or maybe someone smarter than me can figure it out but I think the only answer is we need root and maybe even need a custom rom to fix (I like to think of it as unbreak).

Shortcuts turn it on then press the word shortcuts
Voila.. You are welcome

Also, this is where you can turn on an information ticker (news/ stocks only right now it appears), weather, and dual clocks for those who travel out of their time zone.

Is this on an AT&T branded S3? Cause I don't have any menu option "Shortcuts" on mine.
OK nevermind, I figured out why I can't see it. I had Swipe lock with secure lock checked off since I have secure lock turn on automatically every time I hit the power button. Didn't think there was any point in having to swipe twice, once on the dandelion and once on secure lock, but I do see occasionally see the lock screen when it times out without hitting power. Once I enabled swipe lock with secure lock Lock Screen Options went from a greyed out option (which I thought was a header) to a clickable one.

Thanks -that did it

It would be really cool if the camera shortcut would bypass the pattern unlock too. Either way, it is cool as soon as it unlocks the camera appears.
Has anyone tried the text shortcut where you bring the phone to your face and it calls them?

You can change the apps on the lock screen. Settings> security> lock screen options>shortcuts then follow the directions on the screen. I don't think you can have more than four apps on the lock screen, though.

It works from contact view, but it doesn't seem to work from Google Voice text, or messaging text. I'll keep messing with the settings to see if I can get it to work as in the european unboxing event.

[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

[Q] Remove Emergency Call / Add Swipe

2 questions:
1:
Is there a mod to remove the Emergency Call button from the lockscreen?
2:
Is there a mod to enable swipe before unlocking - ie: The lockscreen looks the same as if it had no security until it is swiped which then shows the pattern unlock screen?
This would usually enable lockscreen notifications / music player controls etc to be shown without having to unlock. The S3 had these mods..
If theres a way to do it manually, I could also give that a go I guess...

I have no button on my lockscreen for Emergency Call, regardless of whether it's active or not...? If you mean it's set as one of the shortcuts, you can change those to whatever you like.

This is what I mean. If you don't have this coming up i'd find that odd. It doesn't come up if you have lockscreen security disabled.
And following on from this - after pressing the power button, id like to have to swipe before this screen pops up

OK, that would be why then. I just have swipe to unlock.
