[Q] Android Lock Screen on Boot only? - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone who used to have a Windows Mobile phone will probably know what I'm talking about here:
I'd like my phone to boot up to the Android Lock screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But then only use the regular puzzle unlock screen after that.
Basically, if my phone is misplaced/stolen and is then consequently restarted for whatever reason, whoever has it is presented with the Android Lock screen and nothing else. But I don't want to go through the hassle of tracing my lock pattern every time the screen turns off, which is all I can seem to get it to do

So you want it to come up to the lock screen that needs a pattern or key before unlocking on boot, but have a lock screen with no pattern or key at other times? I think you get either one or the other, though I could be wrong about that.

Yeah, that's what I'm shooting for.
The purpose of the code lock screen is to protect your phone from malicious use after it being lost/stolen/etc.
The purpose of the puzzle/glass lock screen is merely to protect the user from accidentally using the phone in their pocket, butt dialing, etc.
Ironically, it was a standard feature on WinMo phones so I guess I just assumed it would be available with Android.
Alternatively, if I could just make the Android Lock Screen launch at boot, that would also do, but I can't seem to find a way to add it to startup...

Um, just FYI, when the pattern lock is enabled, it will always display the pattern entry screen at boot, so you shouldn't have to add it anywhere. Aside from that I don't think there's a way to do what you want, at least not without some kind of ugly hack, or maybe third party utility, but then again there could be some simple trick I'm not aware of.
No offense, but what you want honestly kind of defeats the purpose of having the lock screen, because if you lose the phone, whoever finds it will have full.access to everything, as long as it never gets restarted. I'm surpised that Windows Mobile lets you get away with that, as that makes for an almost useless security feature. I've gotten used to having to enter my pattern every time, but what I would really like is to use a PIN code instead, a feature that doesn't appear until we get Froyo. I had that on KaosFroyo on my Eris, and I miss it.

there are many very practical uses for this feature
This is a good feature to have, it useful in cases such as when you're sleeping, that way if someone sneaks up to try to go through your phone they'll be greeted with the lock screen when it turns on. Or for me, we have a no phone policy at school, so in the even that it was taken from me i would like to be able to quickly shut it down thus locking it when they try to go through it later, which they always do, not much else goes on at my school so they got nothing better to do. i got to much stuff on there to have them snooping though it. I'd rather be able to just hand it over with it locked than have to refuse giving it to them and deal with all the crap that comes with that.

I need this feature too.
