i'm running viper... which still has the sense lock screen with the ring you need to pull. is there any way to disable the lock screen?
i'd like to replace it with this "invisible lockscreen"...

it works - but i have to pull the sense lock ring before this one takes affect. i think it's a nice way to see you widgets on the lockscreen

I just tried renaming /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk and that seemed to work.
You'll need to mount /system rw (I used adb remount).
Now, instead of the HTC lockscreen I have, what looks to me, like the standard Android lock screen (dunno what that's called).

Really! Wow... I may try that!
I don't even know what the standard android lock screen looks like...
thanks that worked! now my invisible lock in my OP works
thanks!

I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to get a lockscreen that is part of the system, not an app. I have tried 4 3 different apps and non of them work right. They all freeze the system when i use the power button to put it to sleep, i get a white screen and nothing else. Please don't suggest any apps that is not what i asked this question for. I want a lockscreen that is part of the franework.
There is a screen lock in settings. You have the options of pattern, PIN or password. You will find it in Location and security settings.
No I know about that one. I mean a slide style lockscreen. Like on most android devices

no hope for original one, you may install WidgetLocker to re-enable it.
i tried widgetlocker and everytime i use the power button to put to sleep and then try to wake up all i get is a blank white screen. i dont get it.
Are there any ways to install another lockscreen but not by using apps (making them native, I don't like the way it works in widgetlocker app). I have root, CWM and so on
To be honest I want puzzle lockscreen like it was in Vibrant.
*Ripple lock
it's on the marked and xda .

But unfortunately this is still an app superimposed to the original home screen or lock screen (which sometimes appears...)
Also the notification bar remains visible!
Original lock screen can't be actually replaced, but only hidden.

That's why I dont like those apps.
And why are there tons of lock screen in Vibrant Roms/i9000/Captivate and difficulties with i9100? What is the principal difference?

Besides home button unlocks the screen. Even with enabled and disabled notification bar.

+1 on that!! I hate the lockscreen so much, I'm using AntiLock to disable it. Apps like WidgetLocker or RippleLock are no proper alternatives because they either unlock with the home key, or have 5 seconds limitation, show the Samsung lockscreen underneath and such.
Just like you, I wonder what's taking devs so long to come up with alternatives. Why is it more challenging on this phone than others?
Guys,
I'm using WidgetLocker and enabled the Root Helper option, and also disabled the default Lock Screen. (In Advanced menu) and also checked Disallow WL suspend.
With these setting the defualt screenlock is only displayed for 1-2 sec when I restart the phone. but that's all.
Previously I also encountered the problem that I had to unlock the WL and then the stock one but now only WL is running.
I don't like lock screen in widgetlocker and in gingerbread itself. I like puzzle one or the one from ripple lock, but it doesnt work properly
Is there any way (add on app or otherwise) to be able to turn off my phone manually with the power button and have it not lock (so that when I turn it back on the screen is on where I left it without the lock screen). And where I can manually lock if I want.
Ideally too something that won't automatically lock (just turn off) when the screen delay is reached.
This is driving me crazy!
There is an app for that, it's call No Lock. I used to use it on my Desire HD running CM7 rom. I don't know if it will work for sense tho.
No Lock works great... I have it on my 3D.. and used it on my Evo4G, and my wife has it on her Shift 4G. Just be careful with it because the volume up/down buttons will also turn the screen back on, but you'll never need to worry about the lockscreen ever again if you run that app.
Thanks, I just installed No Lock. It is okay, but I would really like something that includes a simple widget to lock the screen -- like I could just press it and the built in lockscreen would lock the phone. I realize I can use the included widget and turn off No Lock and then the phone locks, but it just seems like an extra step.
Maybe use the widget and put a shortcut to screen off next to it?... Or somethin like dat

You could use Tasker and make a widget that you can run that will turn off No Lock, and then lock the phone / turn off the screen
I am new to Android and I have enabled widgets on the lock screen, however I do not know how to choose what widgets to put on the lock screen. Can anyone help explain to me? Thank you!

while looking at your lockscreen, slide to the right, you'll see a giant + sign, click that and add widgets from the list it gives you. You can also get rid of the widget on the main screen if you aren't a fan of it (the circle clock).

Very true you can get rid of it, but how do you restore it? I ditched mine the other day while making hasty moves and now I want it back but can't find it anywhere,its not in the list of lock screen widgets. Help is appreciated

I also cannot find a way to restore it other than turning off widgets in settings, lockscreen settings window. But shortcuts don't seem to work then.
Hey guys. Just wondering if there's a way to change the lock screen clock style w/o rooting. Seems most apps don't do anything.
I have Nova + Rugo for home screen. Would love something for the lock screen.
Thanks!

you can change to layout between veritcal and horizontal, but that's about it. You can try some lockscreen replacement apps. Not as secure, but they give you options
