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.

Does anyone know of a way to delay the pattern lock screen on Froyo on the Streak? Ie, be able to switch off and back on within a certain period without having to enter the pattern.

I'd love to know this as well. On my iPhone I had the option of delaying it up to an hour. I can't find a delay option at all on android and every app I've tried so far hasn't worked. (Extend Lock Delay, No Lock, Lockpicker)
https://market.android.com/details?id=de.j4velin.delayedlock&feature=search_result
I'm pretty sure Lockbot has this option. I used to run it with NoLock to keep the standard lockscreen at bay. There is a limited but usable free version of Lockbot on android market.
Hey guys,
New to the android world n I'm trying to get the hang of it so pls bear with me and my silly questions. Hopefully some of you may be able to help me with this question.
So as the title goes, I'm trying to remove the stock lockscreen slider since it seems to be kind of inaccurate everytime I slide to unlock. Sometimes it hits immediately but most if the time requires 2 tries.
I wish to replace it with something better but I don't know yet where to get the apk for it.
The phones rooted already and I am using sdx stock app remover. I am trying to figure out which apk I need to remove to disable the lockscreen. Does anybody know the name of the necessary apk file?
On top of that can I replace the deleted apk with a custom lockscreen? If possible, where can I find good ones.
I hope someone will be kind enough to help me. I really don't like the slider bar on the motoblur.
Thanks,
Aqua

I wouldn't mess with it until we get an sbf, but until then you can get a lock screen replacement from the market, there's lots of them like GOTO Lockscreen, Lock 2.0, FlyScreen, Widget Locker Lockscreen and many more Hope this helps
Cool! Thnx man. That helps a lot. I've been looking for an app to do so but never could find a good answer. I won't play around with the core files till things are clear. Thnx again.

Ehmm yea but that disables the security feature like the pin or pattern or Biometrics. What I want to disable is the screen lock slider.

get 'no lock' from the market
I'm with you on this, I would like to get rid of the stock slider and still keep my pin/pattern lock. I use widget locker so of course I have redundant screen locks whenever the security lock kicks in. 'no lock' on the market removes the security lock as well.

In my search for no lock, I ran across a few apps on the market that did this as well. Don't remember which ones, but if you search on 'no lock' a few of the apps that come up do exactly what you're looking for - you just have to put in the time and go through them...
The stock motorola slider and the PIN/Password security are all the same screen and cannot be interacted with separately in any standard manner. I'm looking into alternative ways of doing this, but they're very complicated even with root. Pattern is less strictly tied to slider, and already works better in 2.0 with WL 2.0.1 improving it more, but motorolas slider in front of the pattern is very difficult to deal with too.
Me personally I love using my fingerprint locker instead of the slider, it's quicker and more efficient. Just a quick heads up
I'd love using it too if it doesn't keep missing my fingerprint. Sometimes it could take up to 3 or 4 times to unlock. Don't know why.
So Im now using widget locker. Awesome app.

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.
Never really notice this until now.
Basically once i set a PIN code, everytime i wake up the phone it immediately goes into this PIN code screen instead of the lockscreen where you swipe right to unlock then lets you enter the PIN code.
Is this how it's suppose to work for the SGS2?
Apologies if this has been asked before.
That's a bug, but its there. No worries.

go into settings-location and security.there you will see "screen unlock settings".Choose whatever option you want but if you only want the swype screen option to unlock then select "none".
Ahhh ok ... hopefully it can be fixed soon by Samsung or Google!
I miss my lockscreen with the date and time info without unlocking but yet able to pin protect my phone, coming from dell streak.
Thanks all for the replies!
I like the shortcuts on the lock screen and off you get a message or missed call shows.
However if I put a security lock, pattern lock etc you lose this functionality.
On my previous HTC sensation XE you got a message it showed on the lock screen, you dragged it to open it and then had to do the pattern lock.
Is this not possible on the S3, do you have to have either the security but no lock screen notifications?
Cheers
This is absolutely possible on the SIII (something I've been waiting for since I got my SII)...
Go to Settings > Security then use whatever Screen Lock you want (not sure if it works with all of them, but I'm currently using Pattern lock).
Once you have set up your Screen Lock, tick the 'With swipe lock' option and this should give you the desired results
Another great thing I've been waiting for was the ability to disable 'lock instantly' when turning off the screen. A lot of very welcome 'minor' tweaks from Sammy that have made this phone an excellent upgrade!

It's there I've just found it thanks a lot. It appears AFTER you've set up the pattern lock.
