I Love one thing about iphones..
their lockscreens, not the lockscreen but the pincode idea they have.
i don't like typing my password in and pressing OK it takes too long, i'm just trying to unlock my phone...
The Android Style one where you slide across the dots is okay, but It gives away my password and all my friends know my pass lock thing lol
Is there any way to get the same iphone thing??
Use CM7 and check the quick unlock function in the lockscreen settings in the CM settings?

I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to get a lockscreen that is part of the system, not an app. I have tried 4 3 different apps and non of them work right. They all freeze the system when i use the power button to put it to sleep, i get a white screen and nothing else. Please don't suggest any apps that is not what i asked this question for. I want a lockscreen that is part of the franework.
There is a screen lock in settings. You have the options of pattern, PIN or password. You will find it in Location and security settings.
No I know about that one. I mean a slide style lockscreen. Like on most android devices

no hope for original one, you may install WidgetLocker to re-enable it.
i tried widgetlocker and everytime i use the power button to put to sleep and then try to wake up all i get is a blank white screen. i dont get it.
Hi Guys
Ok this may sound like a silly question but is there a way to have both the slide to unlock screen and also pin code screen?
The reason i ask is i like to have my phone protected so need the pin code but then i like some of the slide to unlock screens some people have posted and with the lack of notification led i'll hit the power button to see if i have mail or just check the time but would like to see a funky screen (i know sad)
Cheers
go into settings,location and security.there you will see "screen unlock settings".Choose whatever option you want.

Yes but if you put a pin onto your screen, the lock screen goes away and the phone is unlocked after entering the pin.
Yup just like giga502 said, if you set a pin code then the slide to unlock will be replaced
i would like to have both, could be a pain but does anyone know how to get both?
I doubt its possible to get both unless you root your phone and install custom rom.
Hey Guys
Managed to get both slide and pin screens
Downloaded WidgetLocker and this gave me the option
Cheers

I have added this option in my upcoming mod...
First you will see the glass or aosp lockscreen then the unlock screen.
But yes you need a kh3 rom with a cwm kernel to apply my mod.
Look for JKay Deluxe in theme and apps thread.

Coming from Nexus One so AOSP/CM were what Im used to.
Im currently running quick sense.
ADW as my launcher.
Just a few questions.
1. Is there a way to remove the PULL RING lock screen at all ?
Or at the very least change the shortcuts ?
I have pattern lock but Im used to going directly to that when waking.
2. Are there any modified APKs of the messaging app ?
Lack of customization isnt made up by its high res UI and slick design.
Handcent and GoSms are nice but not high res so Im caught in between
3. Anyway to turn off home screen rotate ?
4. Contacts. Im very lost here.
Can I sync JUST the Facebook contacts I also have on my Google account ?
Seems like its all or nothing.
I like having say "brenda's" FB status and profile pick...but not her sisters jane and diane who are also FB friends.
5. Is there a way to enable track skip for the volume buttons ?
If Im listening to music Im used to being able to press Vol up/down to change tracks.
So far love the camera..light bleed is there but hasnt irritated me (yet)..very heavy/bulky...but great screen and Audio seems FAR better than my N1 so far. Battery life went from wtf ? to oh..pretty good with Quicksense.
Thanks!!

1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1323703
2. Only the third party ones from the Market. I may be wrong though.
3. My home screen doesn't rotate. Maybe try Settings > Display and check/uncheck Auto-rotate screen.
4. Confused here. Do you want your Google contacts AND your Facebook or just your Facebook? Or do you want to sync certain Facebook contacts.
5. You can swipe your finger across the screen to change tracks. That's about it as far as I know.

Thanks for the response.
1. Will that give me the ability to bypass entirely ?
Currently
Powerbutton > Pull Ring > Pattern Lock
Power Button > Pattern lock is my goal.
2. ok
3. Thanks I realized I needed to do the same in ADW as I reinstalled yesterday.
4. I want all my Google contacts. But only SOME Facebook contacts.
There's only a few FB folks I want to call/text.
5. Hmmmm....

No. But there should be something on the Market to disable the lockscreen. I have a power control widget that has the option to disable the lockscreen when selected.

Currently, there isn't a way (that I am aware of) short of removing the contact from FB to prevent them from showing up. Alternatively, consider setting up groups such as Work, Friends, Class, Clan, Gang, Homies... whatever. I use the People widget on my homescreen with twelve or thirteen frequently used contacts and rarely need to go through my contacts at all. And with the People widget it also shows their latest FB Status, tweet, e-mail, missed call or sms. Maybe that helps?

Why not run Beastmod then?
It kills all Sense... Seems like you don't want Sense features since you are using ADW. Why run a bulky ROM for features you don't want?

Giving Sense a try. Im really just waiting for ICS , I figure Id give sense a fair shot before ditching it for an AOSP ROM.

I came over from an iPhone 4. I love Sense. Beastmod is cool but I like the weather clock and other features of Sense so I rock the Quick Sense. I want some ICS goodies too!!!
I've been through them all...sense is new to me only because I alway go aospfrom the get go.

Its pretty slick....just wish it was more customizable.
"1. Is there a way to remove the PULL RING lock screen at all ?

Yes - you can customize which icons are on the lock screen - you get at them from the 'personalize' icon on the home screen - lock screen - settings - and can assign any app to the lock screen.

But to do this yo have to be using the SenseUI launcher while trying to customize, then you can switch back to whatever. I learned this the hard way while using Launcher Pro

Heya,
not sure what u mean. I have GO Launcher EX on my SGSII and STS but I cant find anything like desktop lock. Do u mean the standard lock screen with pin code or pattern code?

At the home screen (ermm ... I think that's what you call it), press 'menu'. You can see in the 'more' options ... there is a 'lock screen'. Once you choose to lock it ... you will not be able to move/delete/add icons etc until you go back to the same option to unlock it.
It is pretty important to me as my boy will sometimes go mess around with my icons etc. lol
I m using adw ex and there is a desktop lock function
Running beans19 and I wonder if there's an app or launcher or something that I could let an app work when phone is locked under pin or pattern.
I want the camera (just camera not gallery) to be able to open even if phone locked.
Is there a way to do it...??.. Btw I don't want to switch r0ms

Have you tried the app Widget Locker? It allows widgets to display on the Lock screen and has lots of options.

You can put any widget or icon you want on it. So, yes you can address camera icon. There's a free version, just give it a try.

On beans you can still use the tw shortcut on the lock screen (hold a finger on the lock screen and rotate the phone) this will launch the camera app. Although I'm not sure if it works with a lock code since I only have the swipe to unlock feature active.
No I'm not happy to see you, it's just a Note 2 in my pocket

Actually, this might sound like a cheap way out, but it was pretty cool, there was an ios7 lockscreen app that worked really well (only thing was sometimes home button unlocked the phone) but you can slide up for camera without having to enter a pin. The app itself lets you enter a 4 digit pin with unlock automatically.
The reason for this, is, unlike ios, if you went to your camera app, and pressed the home key, you can bypass the security. An android limitation unfortunately. Ill try to find the play store link
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appershopper.ios7lockscreen
PS- when it says accept or decline for the freeware app crap, just decline, still works anyway!

I like the app its perfect but you can unlock with home button like you said and when you take pic inside camera you can look at gallery.
Otherwise yes that's what I looking for but with more security.

Again, unfortunately its an android limitation if im not mistaken so theres no way around that. I would try that with some type of extra lockscreen security. Not many people would try pressing the home button though maybe, but then again I never usually lock my phone because its always in my pocket. And I watch anything I dont want to see in incognito mode
What I did in the past (for 10 minites experimenting) was that amd widget locker under that lockscreen, so after unlocking with that app, I would go into widgerlocker and my lockscreen was just a blank screen with the time. I downloaded a clear slider and put it in a small corner so that no one would know where to unlock my phone exept me really. But then again I never tried with the camera app so I couldn't tell you for sure.

The guy did update for the app and it says it fixes the home button unlock but it obviously didn't. I wish he makes it work somehow.
