I went into Security and selected None to disable the lock screen and it doesn't seem to work. I was able to do this on my DroidX and it worked fine. Any other options?

I recently flashed the latest version of Cyanogenmod on my g tablet and I love it. Everything works great except one thing...
There's no lock screen that appears when I wake it up or turn it on. It skips the unlock gesture, and the lock pattern that I set. I don't care about the first unlock so much as the second, since this thing has my google account information in it.
Has anyone run into this? I've checked every Cyanogenmod setting and regular Android setting I can think of:
CM Settings: Lockscreen Settings: General: Style Options: Rotary
: Lockscreen Gestures: None checked
Locations & Security Settings: Screen Unlock: Use Visible Pattern: Checked
: Change Screen Lock: Pattern set
Any ideas?
ETA: I should also add that the tablet doesn't seem to go to sleep on its own. I've changed the setting for screen off to 5 minutes.
Have you tried Settings --> CyanogenMod Settings --> Tablet Tweaks --> Disable Lockscreen?

Face palm. Thank you. I didn't think to look there. That was the problem.

Anyway to disable the sense lock screen?
I have set a pattern lock and prefer to not have to drag the circle across the screen and then pattern unlock. Ideas?
I think you can turn it off in settings but if not try no lock from the market

Can't seem to find any option for it. Looked under just about every area I can think of.
Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is a way to automatically switch between pattern and slide to unlock based on location? I know there are automation apps out there, such as tasker and setting profiles. I tried the LITE version of setting profiles and it does have an option to disable the lock screen completely, but not to switch between pattern and slide lock screens. I'd like to have a slide to unlock while at home, but have it change to a more secure pattern unlock when I leave home.
My guess is that this would be difficult because whenever you manually change between slide to unlock and pattern it asks you for your pattern, i.e. it doesn't seem to store your pattern if you ever disable it. I haven't tried tasker because it doesn't have a free demo version, but I would assume that if tasker (or another automation app) does have this ability, it would have to somehow store your pattern so that it can re-implement it, making it possibly insecure?
I'm not sure if there is a custom ROM that will do this. I'm currently running 4.0.4 plain vanilla rooted and unlocked on Verizon LTE Gnex.
Thanks!
In case anyone else was wondering about this, I found a way to do this:
You can make this work using tasker (paid app) in combination with an app called secure settings in the market (free). you need busybox installed, it will check. works perfectly, i have tasker automatically switch pattern lock off when i'm at home (based on cell towers) and automatically turn it back on when i leave home!
nice
I see that this thread has been dead for a little while, but I found it through a Google search since I'm looking for a non-root alternative to Secure Settings on my new, non-rooted phone. I'm currently using Llama, which is a free, location-aware automation app in place of Tasker until I root my new phone. Llama works with Secure Settings, but I can't try the pattern unlock switch since it requires root.
I can confirm that Tasker will switch from pattern unlock to swipe unlock automatically with Secure Settings. I set pattern lock as the default, and had Tasker switch to the swipe unlock if I was connected to any Wi-Fi network, but you could specify which network if you wanted to. In this case, Llama might work better if ask you want to do is automate based on location. Llama has triggers other than location, but it's primary focus is location based triggers.
Just an addendum to this, but when you disable pattern lock, the phone will revert to whatever the last lock method was. If it was "None" the phone will turn straight onto the homescreen. If it was "Slide" you'll see the side to unlock keyguard.
If you want to change this, go into Settings > Security > Screen lock > Slide then repeat but choose Settings > Security > Screen lock > Pattern. This effectively sets the 2 lock types the phone will toggle between.

Has anyone had any luck disabling the stock lock screen in sense 5.5? I had been using widgetlocker with the lock screen copletely disabled through settings but that option seems to be missing now. I've tried disabling the HTC lockscreen apk through the settings menu and also freezing it through titanium, both methods did nothing to remove it. I know it's nit picking but I don't like how the lock screen will appear briefly sometimes before widgetlocker overrides it. More annoyingly my alarms can't be turned off from and oddly when they go off widgetlocker doesn't allow me to unlock. This happens with calls from time to time as well. Any help would be appreciated.
