In case anyone wants a honeycomb lock screen appearance:

works well on the atrix (i suggest resizing the text in the app's settings)
I've been waiting for this! Thanks

Works OK, but no fingerprint scanner support, and it actually bypassed my having to input an unlock code also. In other words, using this lock screen means no security.
I tried it a little while back, it unlocks very slowly. Looks kinda cool, but takes a few seconds usually to actually complete the unlock for some reason.
One thing that really annoys me about my X2 is the fact that when it's idle and I want to use it, I have to first slide my finger left to right to unlock the screen, and then put in my security pattern to use the phone. It's a little redundant and stupid to have to do both. Now that I"m rooted, is there a way I can remove the initial left to right swipe screen unlock?

There's a free app in the Market called No Lock. I have it, and it works great!

Ah that's right, someone mentioned that before but I wasn't rooted at the time. Thanks.
EDIT: Actually that takes both things off, I only want the initial sliding unlock removed, I still want to enter my pattern...
I found AntiLock which does what I want but is kind of shoddy... it shows the home screen for a split second before making you enter the pattern, and there's no emergency contact button down below. There has to be something else out there.

I use No Lock; put MIUI on my wife's nook color and No Lock was bundled with it. Seems to work well.
No Lock doesn't do what I want though, I still want some security in the form of the pattern lock. I just don't want the stupid left to right swipe screen, it's pointless.
I have the stock 2.3.6 rooted on my gNote. Is there any way to remove or disable the "Swipe screen to unlock" screen? I have Go Locker installed which has a nicer, configurable screen but for some reason the stock "Swipe screen to unlock" appears so I have to swipe it, and then swipe again on the Go Locker screen. I tried AntiLock but that didn't seem to resolve it!
The only way I found to stop the default swipe screen was to install No Lock. However, that might disable Go Locker from running as well. Try it though. Hopefully it works out well for you.
I use Widgetlocker. It's pretty cool. You can use multiple unlocks to go directly to an app and more customization.
Works for me.

I had a custom rom'd Skyrocket and Infuse for some time so I don't remember the stock behavior. The 'extra' lock screen after Widgetlocker's lock screen was bugging me as well. There is a lockscreen timeout setting in display/settings that I don't remember seeing in my other phones. If you exceed the threshold timeout period, then you will get the lock screen to enter your pin/pattern. But if you are within the timeout, then you will get the regular 'swipe' screen instead. I've tried a couple of WL settings including the one that says 'auto swipe' but that screen remains.

If, by any chance, you have the JKay Deluxe Setting option on your custom ROM, then, you also need to select no lock option on that (Golden Android app).

Yeah, WidgetLocker can't swipe that screen for you yet, but I found if you set it to IMMEDIATELY lock so the lock (pattern, pin, whatever) is always shown, you only get WidgetLocker followed by the lock. If you don't want the lock every time you turn on the phone (like myself), Delayed Lock will fix that, I have it set to "5 minutes after power off".
However, I've noticed a few times I've unlocked and the lock did NOT show, so I'm paying closer attention to it. I've twiddled a few settings in Delay Lock, maybe that'll help. This setup worked perfect on my Nexus One.
I've changed my lockscreen multiple times, and it always defaults back to the key/slide one..
Anyone else encounter this problem?
No I have changed mine to face and pattern and it hasn't messed up so far

Mine doesn't always default back to this one - although I've noticed quite frequently (often while charging) that instead of getting "locked" and required PIN access, often it will just require a simple slide to lock..
Slightly different issue here. I use pattern unlock. Sometimes when I tap the power button to wake the device the home screen will appear instead of the pattern lock screen. When I tap a shortcut to do something, the pattern lock screen will appear.

[Q] How to remove "2nd" screen on lockscreen? Widget? (Attached Screenshots)
With my new note 3, I noticed when I turn the screen on and pull the lockscreen down, another screen pops up with an accuweather.com widget attached to an "Upcoming events" calendar. At this screen, if you swipe from right to left, another screen is available with shortcuts on it. How can I disable this 2nd lockscreen? Many times throughout the day I swipe my screen to get into my phone and I end upbringing up this 2nd screen by accident.
Secondly, I have another issue with the lock screen. On my Note 2, I would get a notification... email, facebook etc. from the lock screen I would pull the notification bar down, touch the notification I wanted to look at and the phone would leave the lockscreen and take me to the notification. however, with the note 3, I'll do all of the aforementioned and nothing will happen. I have to swipe open the lockscreen and THEN I will be able to see which notification I selected. Is there anyway to correct this? I hate having to swipe the screen open to see the notification I selected from the notification bar.
I have forcefully uninstalled accuweather widget and 2nd screen is still there. I have disabled all widgets from the lock screen and its still there. I don't know what else to do. Any help is appreciated.

I don't know about your situation but if I swipe my "first" lock screen left to right, I never see the second screen.

1.) Don't you just long press the said lock screen widget and trash it? The only lock screen widget I can't seem to trash is the favorite apps but it doesn't bother me. I don't use it but it doesn't bother me.
2.) I also would like to see if there was a immediate work around with this but it is my understanding this is how the mop flops and it is what it is.

Literally the first setting under lock screen in settings is to disable this... Did you look there? Just click the on switch to off for multiple widgets...
As for notifications, it's to prevent pocket unlock, I don't think there's a way to disable it

you are correct. Usually when you want to get rid of a widget you will long press it and it will kind of pop off the screen and you can drag it to the trash can. However if you look at the screenshot I provided, that weather widget on my lockscreen if you long press it nothing happens at all. There's no way for me to get rid of it I have been playing with my phone for 3 days now disabling just about everything in the damn phone and it will not go away. I just want a regular old lock screen with no frills and nothing on it. just like the one I had on my note 2.

will you try something for me? From your lock screen, I want you to swipe it open but touch the screen just below the notification bar and see what happens. If I swipe it left to right in the middle of the bottom of my screen it will unlock the phone. If I swipe it at the top of the screen where the clock is it will swipe over to a different page that has widgets on it. I have went into my settings and into my lock screen settings and disabled everything even the widgets and it is still there.

Just tried it. Just below the notification bar and to the bottom of where the clock/weather would be, nothing happens when I swipe left to right. Below that, swiping left to right opens the lock screen as normal.

Check out these pics. When I swipe at the top of the lock screen like I asked you to do, you can see a WHITE BOARDER around the time. When I swipe that, my lock screen slides to the right and I see a widget. When I swipe at the bottom, the phone unlocks as normal. And as you can see, I have EVERYTHING turned off that would trigger that widget.

I doubt it has anything to do with being rooted. I am not but there's probably just a setting somewhere that's flicked on and shouldn't be.

Exactly. I don't like it and I don't want it. I don't want to be able to swipe to anything except to unlock my damn phone. Drives me nuts!
There's a simple solution to this. Don't swipe the top twenty five percent of your screen. That's the only part of the screen that has that issue. Swipe in the giant area on the bottom half of the phone. What you're asking for is to go back a version or two of android. The widget lockscreen is part of the operating system

That's not a solution.
so·lu·tion [ sə lsh'n ] 1.way of resolving a problem: a method of successfully correcting a problem or difficulty
My problem is that the screen exists. A solution would be to get rid of it or disable it from being available as a choice.
And, I am NOT asking to go back a version of Android. I'm looking for a workaround to remove that "part of the operating system" or disable it.
Surely, if one can manipulate an OS to be able to load different ROMs, Kernels etc.... it can be manipulated to remove the widget screen rending the lock screen a TRUE lock screen.
Go get an iPhone. They have useless lockscreens. The widget lockscreen is insanely useful, if you don't like that clock widget then put another one there, for instance I have a widget there to constantly be able to control my music and o have it set when I swipe the screen to the left my camera is right there. It's like that to make your life easier. I don't even understand why it annoys you, a "true lock screen" as you say would have you only swiping at one specific point on the screen, as long as you swipe anywhere but the upper part of the screen your phone unlocks fine. You were literally just asking to have a way to get into notifications without having to use the lockscreen, if you ask me that's not a true lockscreen either.

Not just you. I have it too. Very annoying. Completely stock, no root. I turned on multiple, but now when off it stays with the same widget as yours. Trick is not to turn it on ever.
