Whenever I try to swipe up to unlock my phone, the keyboard doesn't come up which leaves me unable to unlock my phone. What do I do?

Right...so somehow a really long time ago I managed to root my HTC Hero while adb did not even work properly (couldn't use most of the commands). Either way....I now have Froyo 2.2.1 special edition flashed with ADW launcher but I can't see the slide to unlock screen. The same happened with Froydvillain 1.7.2 with LauncherPro.
It doesn't matter what button I press to wake my phone up, it never shows the slide to unlock screen. I've searched through all the settings on both and haven't found anything. Maybe i'm missing something. maybe it just is an error. Please help me find a suitable solution How do I get my slide lock back?
PS: my biggest problem is not having slide/lockscreen music controls. I use bTunes to get around that (controls before pattern unlock shows) but it lags.
-edit-
I found a setting I overlooked but hats not completely what I wanted. Settings -> Location & Security -> Set up screen lock and disable it or set to none. Now I get an slide to unlock but fr security reasons (obviously) I want slide to unlock and then a pattern.

"slide to unlock lock screen with pattern" on Modaco forums (since i can't post urls)
slide + pin is a possible. still hoping someone finds slide + pattern
Hi, i want to use a face unlock that works this way:
After pressing the power button, i must slide to the wanted direction (unlock, sound off, phone,camera). After that, the phone must get the image of the user face to unlock and give the option to unlock by pattern (in case there is no light,etc.) and then it goes to the direction.
I'm using the ICS face unlock which is just like this, but it doesn't have the option to imediately unlock by pattern and sometimes the screen wher eshould be the front camera image just stay blank and it goes to the pattern...
I downloaded an app called Facelock for apps, butit recomneds that the user disable the phone screenlock andthis way i wonthave the slide option.
Anybody have a suggestion??
Please, the ICS facelock isn't working all the time...
When face unlock does not work on my stock ics LG Optimus L9 I just enter my pin and all is well.
I decided to remove face unlock and pin unlock and change to swipe to unlock. When I go into settings, I tap on lock screen, then on select screen lock. It asks for my pin, i enter it and hit next, it says "wrong pin"
I know it's not the wrong pin because I unlock my phone with it 20 times a day. I always use the same pin for years. It seems like a bug but it sucks because now I am stuck with face unlock.
Is there anyway around this or has anyone else experienced this problem?
thanks
Hard reset

Do a HARD RESET. It will solve your problem.
Samsung Mega: if i am typing a text or have the keyboard up at all, and the screen goes to lock, when I go to unlock the device, the keyboard is still there.. this has made it impossible for me to use a pin code to unlock the device as the keyboard hides the unlock keypad. this just started happening today and is very frustrating.. any tips? haven't installed any new apps or updates recently.
I'm hoping this is an easy settings fix. I've searched online and in settings without success.
I have a pattern screenlock and use smart unlock. If the phone is in an unlocked state (because of smart unlock or a recent unlock) and I open the dual screen, it still shows a lock screen that I have to swipe away. Is there any setting (other than removing a lock altogether) that would enable activity as soon as I open the dual-screen, without having to swipe away the lock screen?
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried the Smart Lock options?
You can keep it unlocked while you have certain devices connected like a smartwatch or wifi signal.
Thanks! I actually am using smart lock. The device is unlocked, but I still have to swipe the lockscreen away, although I don't have to enter my pattern. I was hoping there would be a away to simply open the cover and, if it is already smart unlocked, that it would just pick up where I left off instead of having to swipe first.
