I am trying to figure out a way that, using either a passcode or a pattern, one could enter one passcode to unlock normally and get to their home screen, while another "correct" pattern would take them to maybe an alternate, stripped down home screen, or a home screen with an alternate background and potentially icons. Any ideas? Thanks!
Nobody has any ideas here, huh?

Hello everyone,
A couple days ago, I went into the settings and added the unlock pattern screen to my phone. I was hoping to add this AFTER the slide screen, so when I saw that the slide screen was gone, I decided to remove the unlock pattern screen. Now that I have done that, when my phone tries to boot up, it's still telling me to draw a pattern, even though I went into settings and removed the pattern unlock setting. As a result, when I go to draw a pattern, it doesn't recognize anything and says incorrect pattern. Now I can't access anything in my phone. Does anyone know what I may be able to do to correct this situation?
BTW, I'm using FREEX10 Beta 3.
There is an option to hide the dots, but you still have to draw a pattern - have you tried using you pattern over what might be the invisible dots?
No, I can't even access the settings to change anything regarding the pattern setup at this point. But I did not try that...not sure it would make a difference anyhow? Thanks for the response though!! Anyone have any other ideas? Or will I be forced to restore my 2.1 backup? Don't want to do that quite yet until I know that's my only option.
Well I messed with it some more. Seems like you can draw the pattern, but you just don't see the pattern trail. So apparently, my pattern was still working, I just happened to check off the box with the visible pattern. Stupid me, I feel like an idiot now.
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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
I came looking for porn, didnt find it, but figured while I was here I could ask a question:
Let me first say I sync my phone to my works Exchange and they force some security settings on my phone, like the pincode to unlock the phone. On my Desire HD and GalaxyII I had WidgetLocker installed so I could control Spotify without unlocking the phone and typing the pin.
On the Razr it kinda looks like the standard lock screen would let me add widgets to it, but I cant figure out how so i started using WidgetLocker on this as well.
However, when I am in the widget locker screen and "slide to unlock" it just takes me to the standard "lock screen" and i must slide again and enter a pin code.
I assume WL have disabled the lock screen on the Desire and Galaxy, but cant on this?
Any ideas?
All i want is to be able to control Spotify without typing the pin and unlocking the phone, so if you have any other suggestion on how to get this done I would love you long time for it
Download the free app "no lock". It should take care of your issue. I use WL on my RAZR and have the No Lock app set to disable the stock lock screen. Works great.
Hi everyone! I was wondering if there is any way to hide your original Home screen according to the password (PIN or Pattern).
For example: your main PIN-password to unlock your phone is "1234". When you put the "1234" password it unlocks your phone and shows you the main Home Screen of your phone.
But if in the Lock Screen you put another PIN (let's say it would be "5678"), your phone will also be unlocked but it shows you a completely different Home Screen.
That would VEEERY useful for people who have kids or wife also using their phone. These people could simply tell their Phone Password to their wives and kids without being afraid of having them seeing any "improper" content.
Does anybody knows if this existis?
Peace!
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
