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

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

Is there a way to disable the sliding finger method to unlock? If i set the lock to none it just doesn't use either pin, patter, password or fingerprint, but the sliding finger always gets there.
on some other phones i have seen some apps but from what i have read they are not stable. When i hit the power button i want to go straight to the home screen.
Maybe there is an .apk i can freeze on titanium backup to make this work.
Have you tried NoLock from the market?
NoLock works well but I prefer Widgetsoid. It gives you a toggle for the slide lock, lets you add a button to any homescreen to lock the screen, as well as toggles for most other common activities, including ring, vibrate or silent.
i am testing nolock some people in other forums said they were having stability problems or that it stopped working. so far it works.
No lock 100%, and the widget works well (since I have security finger swipes) to toggle quickly on, or quickly off.
Not what you're looking for, but figured it's worth mentioning for anyone that might be interested: Widgetlocker gives the option to unlock using the back button. The slider seemed to generally work consistently, but the back button is a slight bit quicker and always works for me, which is why I like it. I personally like having a lock screen for just checking the time and such, though I can see why some people may not care to have the lock screen.
There seems to be plenty of adequate little homescreen button apps to lock the screen. but they turn it off at the same time. I want the option for both. I already have one that turns the screen off, now I want a different one that just brings up the ICS default lock screen (the one that shows up just after turning the screen back on or at OS startup - if you set it to have lock security).
I'll put em in the icon group on the home screen.
It's cos sometimes I just need to lock the screen while carrying the phone for a short while [and don't want to touch something while grabbing it by the screen], then easily [without having to press the power button] unlock phone again to resume using it once I'm done carrying.
IS there one that does this? Without having to be its own lock screen app - I really just want to keep things simple.....
Thanks for your help.
I found a solution even better than I had imagined myself! Hidden Lock Pro! even easier and better for my needs than I myself thought of: I press its widget icon to lock screen, it's a simple blank ICS background which is locked to prevent accidental pressing on something, then even better than the default lock security needs (cos it's only while I'm carrying it, in secure environments, that i ever need to use this temp lock function), and I have it set to 'shake to unlock' mode to simply go back to my work when ready! PERFECT for my needs above .
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,
I did search for lockscreens and didn't find anything close to what i am looking for. I used to use a Jailbroken iPhone and one of the only things I miss is this lockscreen system I had in place;
If I wanted to lock the screen and not have to put in a pin number to open it every time I just pressed the sleep button. However if I wanted it to have pin lock I just held the sleep button for a second.
It's so simple and saves so much time.
So I suppose if I had the standard lockscreen (I am Note 3) with a pin unlock, and the alternative being WidgetLocker (with no pin unlock) then i could just switch between the two. If that's possible, then it would just be a question of assigning widgetlocker to a button/gesture.
Do you know of anyway to achieve what I want?
Thanks, Chris
