Is it possible to disable the Lock screen altogether, or at least disable it when connected to your home wifi network? I've tried the "Unlock with Wifi" app but it doesn't seem to work on the S2

Eh? Ripple lock just added a 2nd level of lock (the opposite of what I'm looking for), and the 2nd link pointed to some irrelevant search results. Am I missing something??
No Lock ain't bad but no it won't unlock when connected to WiFi.

I already tried No Lock but it doesn't stop the default lock screen from appearing (the one that you have to swipe to get rid of)
???
^Right.
Delayed Lock is also there.

the second link with all the search results was for you to actually go through and see what other people had the same problem as yourself...rather than waiting to ask for people on here to reply for you i thought i do the search for you and see what comes up, and you can see other peoples opinions and recommendations that they left on other peoples threads thats all..
apologies for the first link just thought if you try that it might of helped...what about widgetlocker
Edit: forget about widgetlocker that wont do it for you...
Check the search result link that i gave you and just read about what other people suggest in the other threads

Hello,
The lock screen on my hero has the curved grey bar with time, date and operator on it. The problem is, the operator name "Virgin Mobile" won't fit. For some reason it wraps "Mobile" to another line and you can only see the tops of the letters.
Any way to change the look of the lock screen (for instance, to the stock Android lock screen)?
Or alternatively, can I remove that lock screen completely, since I use the pattern unlock as well, and it's annoying unlocking the lock screen then having to do the pattern lock as well?
Thanks in advance.
Until somebody techy give you a proper answer try this. Press menu twice to get past the curved bar lock screen (one to wake up & the other to unlock)

I haven't tried anything like that myself yet but there are two posts over in 'themes and applications' section which might be helpful for you, here and here.

I downloaded Flyscreen from the market place last night & it was pretty cool, It puts twitter, facebook, calender, sms, rss information on a new look lock screen. If you want to read about it first check the link out
http://www.myflyscreen.com/
Are there any ways to install another lockscreen but not by using apps (making them native, I don't like the way it works in widgetlocker app). I have root, CWM and so on
To be honest I want puzzle lockscreen like it was in Vibrant.
*Ripple lock
it's on the marked and xda .

But unfortunately this is still an app superimposed to the original home screen or lock screen (which sometimes appears...)
Also the notification bar remains visible!
Original lock screen can't be actually replaced, but only hidden.

That's why I dont like those apps.
And why are there tons of lock screen in Vibrant Roms/i9000/Captivate and difficulties with i9100? What is the principal difference?

+1 on that!! I hate the lockscreen so much, I'm using AntiLock to disable it. Apps like WidgetLocker or RippleLock are no proper alternatives because they either unlock with the home key, or have 5 seconds limitation, show the Samsung lockscreen underneath and such.
Just like you, I wonder what's taking devs so long to come up with alternatives. Why is it more challenging on this phone than others?
Guys,
I'm using WidgetLocker and enabled the Root Helper option, and also disabled the default Lock Screen. (In Advanced menu) and also checked Disallow WL suspend.
With these setting the defualt screenlock is only displayed for 1-2 sec when I restart the phone. but that's all.
Previously I also encountered the problem that I had to unlock the WL and then the stock one but now only WL is running.
I don't like lock screen in widgetlocker and in gingerbread itself. I like puzzle one or the one from ripple lock, but it doesnt work properly
don't flame me....maybe a stupid Q.....but still a very annoying use problem, that I can't figure out:
meny times In a middle of texting/browsing or using an app....I'm disturb by something else......and the phone goes to standby>>>>....OK?
The problem is : that when I wake it up....I have to do all the way to the specific last app/sms
is there a way to customise that wake up ? so it will take you directly to your last action?
We need more information, are u using a third part lock screen, I use widget locker and if the device sleeps with an app open, when I unlock, the app is still running.

yes I use widget locker & and yes the app is still running >>> that is not the point :
My problem is that I have to brows few screens to get there
for example if I read an article?....and the screen turns off?
I have to open my browser again and find the icon first >>>>> instead of getting right back to the original article >>> when I turn the screen on
think that you are on windows and the screen goes to sleep ?
you are moving the mouth......and ? landing to the same place
simple no ?
I can't figure it out how to apply that on my phone
Take widget locker off, personally I don't see the benefit of such things.
You touch the home button and have the options on the lock screen to call etc. But with the likes of no lock, when you touch the home button, it will open at your last app, or your home screen where you can text call from, same thing! Yes?
Anyway I posted this today, quicker and will have the result you want...

U may have changed a setting somewhere, because whatever screen was active on my phone when the screen turned off would also be active when i unlock the device. And when I say active, I mean if I was on a webpage and the screen turns off, when I unlock, the webpage is the first thing I see

The benefit of widget locker is that it provides me with the type of lockscreen that I want on my device, and the benefit of Android is that I actually have that choice, just as you have the choice to not use it as you don't see the benefit...

I thought of that - but it is bugging me since day 1 >>> and at list 5 rom changes...and 10 kernel changes too.
You tell me that at your phone >>>> when you are on a web page and the screen turns off >>> sliding the unlock button on the "W.L." will bring you back to the same page ?......????? and you don't have to press the browser icon first ?

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.

Just in case you haven't found this yet:
Under the display settings, you can enable weather on the lock screen. I don't ever remember seeing that setting in Touchwiz before. Now I'm wondering if my Skyrocket had it.
Nice i didnt see that. For anyone wanting to tone down the insane haptic feedback you can adjust the vibration intensity under sound settings

The Skyrocket does not have it. Since I use a pin on my GNote I never get to see that unlock screen either but it is cool!

I refuse to use a pin lock for that exact reason. That's one of the things Touchwiz was missing that I really wanted.
The new lock screen on the Note is kind of funky. If you swipe fast, you don't even see an unlock animation. It just unlocks. You'd have to hold your finger on the screen to even see the lock icon.

That is what I used to think till I had a co worker lose her phone. Her life is still screwed up from the punk who found her phone and all the contact info in it.
I use a PIN and SamsungDIVE so can remotely wipe it if I lose it or it gets stolen.

It seems to work on the international version. Samsung Texas support had no clue.
I have registered a Samsung account on line and added the account to my phone as per instructions.
The Remote Controls and Find my Phone functions on the web site are not operational. The instructions for setting up the G-Note have some menu items that are not on my phone.
