Running Go launcher and locker on my SGS2 running VillianRom 3. I have a pattern lock enabled too.
Oddly what I turn on the phone instead of sliding to unlock and enter my unlock pattern if I press the home button the phone goes to the home page and bypasses the pattern lock security.
DOes anyone else get this at all with Go launcher and Locker?
Home button?
Patten doesn't even apply...
It just normally unlocks without patten and i had even setted it two times
I use MiLocker more Lockscreens and home button fix... It works and look beautifully. GoLauncher look nice too but not so good theme

Yes. I get this too, on stock ROM. I think, home button is closing the application, since Go Locker is an application.
Just disable the home button to see if that fixes it
Try setting Go Locker as your default launcher rather than Go Launcher.
There is a home button fix in go locker settings. However you have to keep redoing it when the theme gets an update.

Any info how to make the default froyo lockscreen in portrait ?pls advice
I had to buy WidgetLocker
Lock 2.0 will also force lockscreen to portrait.
Full version
Demo version
LockBot also uses portrait.
Free version
Paid version
I played a bit with LockBot free and it works better if you use something like NoLock to turn off the phone's built-in lockscreen. I'm not using a security lock.
I like LockBot better from the few minutes I tried them out.
Edit: the free version of LockBot has no ads and has three lockscreens you can choose from. It also allows unlocking form the menu button. See attached images for Lockbot free lockscreens.
To choose a theme in the free version open Lockbot from the app tray. Tap My themes. Then hit the menu key and then playlist. In the free version you can pick from the three themes pictured in the attachments. The ones you select will rotate. Select only one if you want the same lockscreen each time.
How do u get lock 2.0 to so lock screen in full mode?

That's my current setup. I changed the backgrounds for the lockscreens to pics of my 3 year old grand kids.
LockBot works with the PowerAmp lockscreen widget, except with the direct unlock setting in PowerAmp. So when I am running PowerAmp I have to unlock twice, which is how I had it setup with the stock lockscreen.
I have widgetlocker, but it irritates me how the first time I try to wake my phone up, the stock lock screen is there and the phone immediately shuts back off. I'll try nolock when I get home, thanks for the info!
Edit: Worked like a charm.

Hi,
Widget Locker is really good however the Home Screen bypasses the security. Howevr you must use the inbuilt lock for it to work. But note, if you have a widgetlocker background for example black then when you go to unlock it you will see your homescreen background which doesnt really fit in? if you know what i mean?
LockBot Pro was really good and my preferred choice however that too bypass security. Even though it has its own Inbuilt Lock. Pressing the Home gets rid of it...apparently it say's its fixed but you can still press the Home and you're in....
---
I downloaded Lock 2.0 which has a inbuilt Lock 4 Digit Pass. Which is what I want however I can't move the slider down. ?? the background pictures shows correctly but then the slider is like half way down the screen.. does anyone have a idea how this works??
Thanks
I didn't like NoLock because the volume and camera keys bring the phone back to life.
I found Screen Mode Widget Lite overcame that problem.

never faced an issues with widgetlocker
hi guys, I'm using samsung galaxy s2 with Widgetlocker for screen locking, but everytime i reboot my phone, widgetlock requires me to unlock twice to see the home screen, i found once i reboot to the lock screen, the first time unlock screen is in tool mode(with menu button activate), then i unlock this screen, the second time unlock screen is the real unlock screen(with no button activate). i want 2 skip the first tool mode screen once i reboot, anyone can tell me how 2 do that?
I'm using WidgetLocker too, you can select the option to override the default Samsung lock at boot, however, you will still see the default Samsung lock for a few seconds when rebooting the phone, but it will go away pretty fast and WidgetLocker will replace it.

yup, i see it too, but the problem is after it overrides the default lock screen, i have to unlock twice to get to the home screen. btw, i'm using go launcher, i tried using ADWlauncher and LauncherPro, no this problem, it may caused by the launcher...
I'm using Easy-wake mode in WidgetLocker which disables default lockscreen. If you don't wanna use that just go to WidgetLocker's advanced settings and disable stock lockscreen, first option from the top
I'm getting the same problem easy wake mode doesn't help - you reboot the phone, it goes straight to widget locker as normal, then u unlock and it drops into tool mode, then u unlock from tool mode, to get to the launcher. However I have noticed that once you get to the launcher nothing displays - oh and something else, when you get to the tool mode it is only then the app requests superuser permission. Very strange.
I'm using Go Launcher Ex as well....
And something else I've noticed that after all this happens, when you deliberately go into tool mode, the menu button no longer works so I now can't get to the settings to submit a bug report
Infact I've had to uninstall and go back to the main lock screen for now until this is fixed...
I have no problem with WidgetLocker, but i gotta agree there are so many settings in it and if you don't choose them correctly WidgetLocker doesn't work the way you want. Even though i can understand English pretty well, i'm having troubles figuring out which option does what
I recommend you go in settings > manage app, delete all the widget locker data, delete widget locker, then reinstall.
With default settings, and my screen lock deactivated in settings, it behaves as expected.

Are you rooted?
hi, how to set WidgetLocker as default?
when i press the power button, i always need to unlock for 2 times. 1 time for widgetlocker, and 1 time is default screen lock..
Having the exact same issue. I am also using GoLauncher, so maybe there's the problem??
It is very frustrating as I really like this lock screen replacement.

Same here using Go Launcher that's why i use Go Lock screen now pretty slick with Sense theme even though less tweakable...
Try WL Beta 2.2.2+
Using WL 2.2.1 on rooted SG2 never had this issues so far on any firmware. At moment Im on kj3 Dutch. Search in XDA there is a beta WL came out last week or so you may want to try this.
I'm using GoLauncher and GoLocker, and sometimes the standard lock screen appears, and then after I drag that away the GoLocker lock screen comes up! I downloaded the app 'NoLock' which fixed the problem perfectly, until I restarted my phone and now the standard lock screen comes up every time I lock my phone!
Solution??
Thanks!
PS: yes, I have GoLocker set as default lock screen...

I didn't have much success with GoLocker.
Give MagicLocker a shot (free)
I actually really liked Widget Locker the best but it is a paid app
I'd also make sure I only had one installed at a time to ensure permissions you've allowed were not causing conflicts.
I have tried several apps that does that but nothing met my expectation.
I settled with the stock one.
Download a jkay theme or supported theme and choose the no lockscreen in its settings.. that's what i use and the stock lockscreen doesn't come up on start up.. or you can also try disabling lockscreen in the security settings..

Go locker needs to have go launcher installed. Just don't remove go launcher, but use whatever wish as default and try.
To use Go Locker you must have Go Launcher installed.. You can also use other lockscreen launchers like WidgetLocker, comes with a variety of themes too!
well, the problem is, when i turn of the screen and press any buttons it unlocks automatically when under nova launcher, but when i switch it to Go Launcher, the Go locker works perfectly, pressing home button or any buttons dont unlock or go to the default page on my phone,
when i set up my default launcher to Go Locker, it also sets the default to Go Launcher, i dont know how to make it run smoothly, and if i set it to nova launcher and activate the Go Locker, when i press the home button it bypass the Go Locker and go to my default page, it sucks
Once you get your CM10 desktop how you want it, how do you lock it. On CM7 you could lock all the widgets and icons. I can't find where to do this in CM10.
Depends on what launcher you use. I don't think the default Trebuche has this function. If it does, I couldn't find it so I use other launchers instead (I go between a couple and haven't decided which one to go with yet... At the moment I'm on ADW).
Looking under settings for CM10. There should be a lock screen option under launcher.
You can select how to lock the tablet from there.

Are we talking the same screen locks here? I interpret the OP to be about locking how your home screen looks so you don't unintentionally move apps and widgets around. Not the lock screen that kicks in when you turn off the device. Is there really an option for that when using Trebuchet launcher? Must look when I get back home to my Tablet!!
