So, I would have posted this in the dev forum... but I can't post there yet (10 posts needed). I would have posted this in the CM forum too, but it's down.
Anyway after I enabled and used the lock screen notification widget I lost my lock screen. It didn't prompt me for my pattern, I didn't have to slide anything. It just took me right back to the last thing I was doing.
I fixed it by disabling my pattern (or pin/pass, whatever you use) and locking it. The lock screen will come back and you can now re-enable your patter/pin/pass.
Hope this helps someone.

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

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
Apologies if this is the wrong forum, or has been asked before but I couldn't find what I was looking for.
I spent quite a few hours making my lock screen just the way I like it except for a couple two things I can't sort out. Is it possible to remove the Home, Back and Task button from the lockscreen and add a hidden slider or pattern unlock? I'd like to keep the lock screen as clean as possible while still having some security.
Thanks
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
Hi guys! Made a fix for this issue please refer to this thread.

Hi everyone,
first of all I want to say I'm new to xda-developers and also I couldn't find the GT-i9100 in the list for new posts so maybe this isn't the right place for this thread . in this case, sorry, maybe someone has a hint where to post it then
So here's my problem:
My phone won't enter lockscreen. Around three days ago it started to just resume back where I had left once I press the home button (the round one in the middle) without asking me for my PIN.
I had gotten the phone used, so I did a factory reset and afterthat I installed cyanogenmod, thus rooting it, but not manually - I guess the installer did that for me.
First I had a pattern as screenlock but after applying the full-disk-encryption it would only let me choose between PIN and passoword so I set up a PIN.
Then it just started to skip the lockscreen when waking up. I get still asked the lockscreen-PIN when booting, then the SIM-PIN, then the lockscreen-PIN again, then it boots, but when the screen turns black i can always resume by pressing the home button. Also, the power button just makes the screen black, but also without ever locking it...
What I tried so far:
Settings / Lock Screen / Screen Security / Automatically Lock set to 5s
Settings / Lock Screen / Screen Security / Power button instantly locks checked
Settings / Lock Screen - Widget Pager unchecked (i read it somewhere, can't find the exact source anymore)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/lock-screen-home-button-fixed-t1506317 --> also tried this method, also rebooted after applying every of these changes listed above
I hope this is not too much of a stupid problem because I missed something really obvious - although that would be nice
Anyways, i would really appreciate it if anyone knew a solution to this.
After all, full disk encryption isn't exactly useful if your phone is always unlocked...
Thanks in advance everyone!
