Once you get your CM10 desktop how you want it, how do you lock it. On CM7 you could lock all the widgets and icons. I can't find where to do this in CM10.
Depends on what launcher you use. I don't think the default Trebuche has this function. If it does, I couldn't find it so I use other launchers instead (I go between a couple and haven't decided which one to go with yet... At the moment I'm on ADW).
Looking under settings for CM10. There should be a lock screen option under launcher.
You can select how to lock the tablet from there.

Are we talking the same screen locks here? I interpret the OP to be about locking how your home screen looks so you don't unintentionally move apps and widgets around. Not the lock screen that kicks in when you turn off the device. Is there really an option for that when using Trebuchet launcher? Must look when I get back home to my Tablet!!

I'm using GoLauncher and GoLocker, and sometimes the standard lock screen appears, and then after I drag that away the GoLocker lock screen comes up! I downloaded the app 'NoLock' which fixed the problem perfectly, until I restarted my phone and now the standard lock screen comes up every time I lock my phone!
Solution??
Thanks!
PS: yes, I have GoLocker set as default lock screen...

I didn't have much success with GoLocker.
Give MagicLocker a shot (free)
I actually really liked Widget Locker the best but it is a paid app
I'd also make sure I only had one installed at a time to ensure permissions you've allowed were not causing conflicts.
I have tried several apps that does that but nothing met my expectation.
I settled with the stock one.
Download a jkay theme or supported theme and choose the no lockscreen in its settings.. that's what i use and the stock lockscreen doesn't come up on start up.. or you can also try disabling lockscreen in the security settings..

Running Go launcher and locker on my SGS2 running VillianRom 3. I have a pattern lock enabled too.
Oddly what I turn on the phone instead of sliding to unlock and enter my unlock pattern if I press the home button the phone goes to the home page and bypasses the pattern lock security.
DOes anyone else get this at all with Go launcher and Locker?
Home button?
Patten doesn't even apply...
It just normally unlocks without patten and i had even setted it two times
I use MiLocker more Lockscreens and home button fix... It works and look beautifully. GoLauncher look nice too but not so good theme

Yes. I get this too, on stock ROM. I think, home button is closing the application, since Go Locker is an application.
Just disable the home button to see if that fixes it
Try setting Go Locker as your default launcher rather than Go Launcher.
There is a home button fix in go locker settings. However you have to keep redoing it when the theme gets an update.

Curious to know if this Locker actually works? ive tried go locker but it seems to randomly come up late when turning on the screen, no idea why..itl show stock lock screen but then show my go locker one a couple secs later..kinda annoying. Does this widget locker do the same?
Did you delete the htc lockscreen when you had go locker installed?
i did not, how do i do that? using Titanium?
never mind i found it thanks for the help
I've used GoLocker and Widget Locker. Widget Locker is 10x better, more smooth and it almost literally replaces the new lockscreen. it has about 10 built in lock themes that are pretty standard, including Ice Cream Sandwhich, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb.
I definitely recommend it's purchase if you're looking for a new lockscreen. It's also super-customizable.
Sometimes you do still have that delay when it switches to the lockscreen, but it's not nearly as bad as Go Locker. usually the lagged lockscreen happens if you turn the screen off then turn it on right away. If you turn the screen off and wait a couple seconds, it grabs the Widget Locker screen completely when you turn it back on.
I love Widget Locker. Bought it launch for the intro price.

And if you have root access you can enable root helper which basically makes it so there is no lag, Definetly worth it in my opinion.

I never knew this. Just goes to show you how much I sit down and explore the application settings.

Thanks! I didn't know this either. I had stopped using WL because of the lag. Will test drive it again!
Coming from stock jelly bean on my Nexus I miss being able to go straight to Google Now with a swipe... if there was a way to add an additional icon to the lock screen for this purpose that would be awesome. Any ideas?
Put the Google Now (Google) shortcut in your dock. Not entirely the same, but works with a swipe
Thanks! This is my first sense phone, didn't realize whatever you put in there also showed up on the lock screen. Duh :silly:
Honestly, I think I will be adding a shortcut myself. I kind of miss my Gnex swipe up.
This is what I do that has worked well for me. I use Nova Launcher to bring me back to more of a nexus look. Because I do this, I set my camera and google icons on the dock of my sense launcher and those two icons show up on my lockscreen, and this way I also don't waste dock space on Nova launcher. Works like a charm.
Here are my home and lock screen to show what I am talking about
Holding the home button for a second opens Google Now... its not the same as swiping from lock screen but it works

This does not work from the lock screen though.

I agree, although I added two activities to the list. With Nova you can drop activities to directly access features of apps without opening them fully.
I use one activity from Handcent called quick compose. It opens a tiny window with a "to" field and a "message" field. Very handy. Also I use the toggle feature of TeslaLED to give me quick access to a flashlight.
Then using Nova I can have 6 completely different apps on my dock plus app drawer.
And today was payday so that rocks.

There is also Holo Lock for anyone who wants the stock JB lock screen, although it does not work perfectly...
I use apex launcher, much the same as nova. I have a Google search in my sense dock, so it shows up on my lockscreen.
It doesn't show up on my dock in apex. I set a gesture in apex, however, that store up items Google search. Makes it almost the same ad my galaxy nexus

I just updated my Nook Table to 10.1.3 and I'm using Go Launcher EX. Everything is working great but I have a question about boot-up. When my Nook boots up my security screen is in horizontal position. I use my Nook in the vertical position so I have to flip my Nook to horizontal to enter my PIN number. Once I enter my PIN and login my desktop will rotate to vertical.
Anyway to force Go Launcher EX to start-up in the vertical position?
Thanks!

That acutally depends on the particular ROM you're using. I'm using the current release of Jelly Beer, and it has an option in the settings for allowing the lock screen to rotate. I would assume the same for other ROMs, though I don't specifically recall it on any of the other ones I've tried out.
