So i know this has been asked a bunch but I havent seen an answer yet....I rooted the phone and changed the lockscreen to the slide lock instead of pull down lock however the incoming call lockscreen is still the pull down and i was wondering how to get it to the slide lock....
I only get the ICS lockscreen which is locked with a pattern so I have the risk of missing a call.
If I understand your question correctly, your lockscreen only works if you set a pattern? Depending on your ROM you can adjust the timeout for the lockscreen so that it locks right away vs. waiting a few minutes.
As far as getting to the dialer screen, you have to unlock it and open the phone app. More details will help though:
What ROM are you on?
Does the lockscreen work without a pattern/pin?
When someone calls you and your device is locked, what happens? Does it go to voicemail right away or does it show that someone is calling?
No.. I just get the ICS lockscreen when I receive a call, no answer-decline buttons. So I have to unlock the phone first before I can accept the call. This is because I have the sense dialler with the ICS lockscreen.
Is there an ICS dialler I can install to make the incoming callscreen showup in the ICS lockscreen?
I know what you mean, I installed the stock ics contacts and dialer app from the themes section and tried freezing the HTC dialer, didn't work and calls still come in on the HTC dialer. It may be part of sense?

Oh OK I understand you know. Sorry. You can try an app like widget locker which provides different style lock screens. That shouldn't interrupt your calls. It worked well for me.

If you're using something like leedroid tweaks to switch the lockscreen (at least over sense 3.6, that's all I've tried it on), there's no way to make calls show up on the lock screen. For now, at least, you have to unlock and open the app if you want to use AOSP lock screen on Sense (3.6 only? Haven't tried any other version.)
when theres a busy call, the phone goes to the lockscreen. i then have to unlock it to get back to the dialpad. how do i stop it from entering into the lockscreen after a busy call?
I'm rooted with stock sense rom. I dislike the sense "ring" unlock. Widget locker has let me change the lock screen but when I get an incoming call it is still the sense ring unlock. I used an app called nolock but it removes the lock screen completely so when I get an incoming call it behaves as if the screen was on.
Is there anyway to get a slide to answer or decline call like in ICS?
When I get an incoming call I have to slide a very long unlock slider, then the answer call slider, the trouble I'm having is the unlock slider is very tetchy sometimes I have to try 2 or 3 times, before it unlocks, is there a way that the screen can just display the answer call slider as other android devices I have owned, or is there an app that can help?
Ok found a solution it was caused by an app called "tiny call confirm" which I use to stop accidently dialling people when scrolling through the contacts or log list, there was an option for an incoming call confirm that was ticked,
