Right...so somehow a really long time ago I managed to root my HTC Hero while adb did not even work properly (couldn't use most of the commands). Either way....I now have Froyo 2.2.1 special edition flashed with ADW launcher but I can't see the slide to unlock screen. The same happened with Froydvillain 1.7.2 with LauncherPro.
It doesn't matter what button I press to wake my phone up, it never shows the slide to unlock screen. I've searched through all the settings on both and haven't found anything. Maybe i'm missing something. maybe it just is an error. Please help me find a suitable solution How do I get my slide lock back?
PS: my biggest problem is not having slide/lockscreen music controls. I use bTunes to get around that (controls before pattern unlock shows) but it lags.
-edit-
I found a setting I overlooked but hats not completely what I wanted. Settings -> Location & Security -> Set up screen lock and disable it or set to none. Now I get an slide to unlock but fr security reasons (obviously) I want slide to unlock and then a pattern.
-edit2-
"slide to unlock lock screen with pattern" on Modaco forums (since i can't post urls)
slide + pin is a possible. still hoping someone finds slide + pattern

Hey, i was wondering if any of the devs here know of a way to make the phone go directly to the pattern unlock screen when it wakes. I really hate how enabling pattern unlock makes an extra step to unlock the phone (i.e. unlocked with the regular sense lock screen, then drawing the pattern). I can't be the only one who this bothers.
I used to have an epic 4g and when pattern unlock was enabled, the stock lockscreen would simply get disabled so there was only 1 step to unlock the phone. Does anyone know if this would be possible with a sense rom.
Also, ive tried disabling the sense lock screen all together (It then defaults to the AOSP lock), but you still need to slide to unlock, then enter the pattern.
Thanks everyone
I am looking for this as well. AntiLock app might work but I haven't tested it yet.
Hi guys,
I am running MIUI 1.8.19 and have only one issue, whenever I set a screen unlock pattern under "Settings -> Personal -> Personal Password -> Pattern" it lets me set a pattern easy enough but when I unlock the phone from the lock screen, the pattern only appears the first time. Then anytime after that I lock it again it will never ask for the pattern again.
I wonder if anyone else has seen this issue and if there is a fix.
Many thanks

Just tested mine, but i'm running 1.8.5. Works fine for me, so maybe you should try that one.
I came looking for porn, didnt find it, but figured while I was here I could ask a question:
Let me first say I sync my phone to my works Exchange and they force some security settings on my phone, like the pincode to unlock the phone. On my Desire HD and GalaxyII I had WidgetLocker installed so I could control Spotify without unlocking the phone and typing the pin.
On the Razr it kinda looks like the standard lock screen would let me add widgets to it, but I cant figure out how so i started using WidgetLocker on this as well.
However, when I am in the widget locker screen and "slide to unlock" it just takes me to the standard "lock screen" and i must slide again and enter a pin code.
I assume WL have disabled the lock screen on the Desire and Galaxy, but cant on this?
Any ideas?
All i want is to be able to control Spotify without typing the pin and unlocking the phone, so if you have any other suggestion on how to get this done I would love you long time for it
Download the free app "no lock". It should take care of your issue. I use WL on my RAZR and have the No Lock app set to disable the stock lock screen. Works great.
At least for me, the hardware button is more than enough accidental turn on protection. Is there anyway to turn off slide to unlock?
When I had my Droid, I remember there were several methods available to do this; but I don't remember what any of them were called or if they are compatible. I know that GoLocker (the GO lock screen replacement) is NOT compatible, at least when installed through the Market.
Try the No Lock app from the market.
After setting up a security pin I have no slide to unlock on my device. I hit a button it asks for the pin i set i type it in and it goes straight to whatever was last on screen without asking me to slide to unlock,
Hi. When I received the phone, out of the box security was not enabled and I was able to unlock the screen only by sliding the pad lock UP on the lock screen.
This worked well for me as I could read all notifications while locked, without unlocking the phone.
I then tried out the other security methods including Pattern. Didn't like it and wanted to go back to slide to unlock.
Under Security there is not a Slide to Unlock option.
Now, if I leave it as No Security, anything unlocks the screen, even a tap.
How do I get the original pad lock Slide to Unlock feature back?
A hard reset?
Sorry if this has been answered before, I did a quick search and didn't find a thread.
Thanks.
Set it to wallpaper lockscreen. Personally I use productivity so my messages go on lockscreen
Btw option is under settings / personalization / lockscreen type

Same Issue
Hello I am currently having the same issue with my lock screen. I hadn't even realized that switching the lock screen type was the reason, but it makes sense. Did you find a way to fix it? The above poster's method did not work for me.
Thanks for putting this problem in words!
So it looks like this is an issue that happens whenever you have an accessibility setting enabled as described here. This goes for any accessibility settings... Can someone confirm if this still happens with other Sense ROMs or if this only happens with stock?

Can't seem to find a fix for it though, hopefully with 4.2.2
