You're right, but that's the way it works for AOSP ROMs. OP is asking about a HTC Sense 4.1 ROM and it's lock ring lockscreen. That doesn't go away even with a PIN code/Pattern lock set. Each time the screen is turned on, the lock screen shows by default and I don't think there's any way to turn it off. The security lock kicks in after it's defined time, but the lock screen always appears on turning on the screen.
OP: Try asking in your ROM thread. AFAIK there's no way to disable the lock screen.

Good point, this rom does have the option to enable AOKP lock screen, but it will result in reboots upon incoming call

I'm sure that'll be fixed later. The Team Venom guys are extremely good.

[Q] Lock Screen

I have looked, but since I'm not even 100-percent that "lock screen" is the thing I'm talking about, I wasn't surprised not to find the answer I am looking for.
I've updated my Streak on ATT to 2.2
Baseband Version
GAUSB1A131800-US
Kernel Version
2.6.32.9-perf
OEM Version
GAUSB1A131800
Build Number
12821
I miss the old lock screen (if that is indeed what it is called). I like having the network info, battery charge state, and other info right in front of me when I press the power button to turn the screen back on. Also, I don't really like the swipe to unlock "feature" of the 2.2. Is there any way to revert to the 1.6-style lock screen. Oh, and if it isn't called a lock screen, what is it?
Thanks
Do you use this with an exchange server that requires a password to unlock? If not, then Widget Locker is what you want (I think). It is a paid app ($2?) that lets you completely customize the lock screen with any information you want on it.
I didn't keep my 1.6 long and I don't remember what that lock screen had on it, but I think widget locker is the app for you.
I do use it with an Exchange server that requires a password.
I mainly miss the battery percentage when I press the power button. I don't want to go through all the hoops to see how much battery I've got left... that's my biggest gripe. Sure I can see it when I'm charging, but I want to see it anytime I press the power button and end up on the lock screen.
I would love to get the old lockscreen back, too! Isn´t it somewhere hidden within the Options like the old WLAN & Network settings windows is?
Is this of any help?
Thanks! But sadly it isn´t! This was how the Lockscreen looked like, it has shown some infos about provider, calender, battery etc.:

will Loopy tweak help to keep it work after heavy use ?
I have no idea, but you can try it. I only now that this app have cause some issue when the phone is in Airplane Mode. (you can't connect to network)
Oh haven't checked this. But I won't use this lockscreen due to missing quick setting of sound / vibration .. but i could try to use it from status bar .. i will try once more xD thanks anyway

I made it with loopy tweak and excluded from task killer and even if i reboot the processes with FMR (great app) it's still alive only the airplane mode problem. I think the Pin insertion is included in standard launcher /lockscreen so it doesn't work but i don't need airplane mode LOL so everything 's good.

[HELP] Pattern Unlock appearance change

When I set the pattern in the settings menu, the dots are much smaller and cooler looking:
{
"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 when I actually unlock my phone using the pattern it looks like the stock ROM's unlock which is fat and ugly:
Is this because of the ROM or my theme?
Is there anyway I can get the dots from the 1st picture in my lockscreen?
Is there a way to remove the "emergency call" button removed? I know you can hide the clock/date through cm7 settings
I have CM7.1 by Grif with some ICS theme I found on the forum.
Sir, it's because of CM7.
All ROM's for ace which are based on CM7 usually have this problem.
As a workaround, you can try using apps such as "Go locker" from market.
PS - It is an app which will replace your current lockscreen with its own. Its customizable
First - you can modify you framework-res.apk, you can find that pictures in it and change it. The second solutions is to use unlock gestures:
You can find this option in the Cyangenmod Settings. Your lookscreen while look like this:
To unlock just draw you gesture, works perfectly for me .

Thanks. That's what I've been using as a replacement anyways.
Regarding lockscreen gestures, I noticed a sensitivity scale from 1-12. Does 1 or 12 mean I have to input more accurate patterns? Because I found that sometimes I can just randomly swipe the wrong gesture and yet the phone still gets unlocked.

I have set my sensitivity to 2, then higher you set then accurate you must draw you gesture, I am using only 2 because my unlock gesture is an X and It's really impossible to draw this symbol by swiping randomly.

Lock screen mod?

Hey guys,
Not sure if this is the right area, please feel free mods to move this post over to the right section.
Today I was at an event where taking pictures was very much needed. Not at all times however, so it meant a lot off "Phone on, lock pattern, camera, phone off, in pocket" etc. Unlocking the phone is slightly tiresome, however albeit essential for my workplace.
So! I've had a thought. Is there any current or possible modification(s) that can be made to the lock screen, when their is a PIN or pattern enabled, which could give access to certain apps straight from the lockscreen without the need to input the pattern or pin?
This would simply cut out the need to unlock the phone if all I need to so is shoot a video or picture. I also understand the need for their to be some form of extra security as a user could theoretically open the camera and then press the home screen and they are past the security however hypothetically speaking.. could this ever work?
I hope i managed to explain myself well enough there lol!!
Send from my i9100 ICS
There are plenty of lockscreens out there like milocker/magiclocker/widgetlocker that allow you to unlock straight to a camera/sms/phone, just don't think they work with a pin or pattern.
I use widgetlock from the market it can be customised to suit your every whim lol
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
milocker'm using now and it works pretty well that mentioned above are good options
Another vote for WidgetLocker here; it's really easy to add a widget to the lockscreen that launches your preferred camera app.
Brilliant lads thanks! Does widget locker allow lock phone generally with pattern/pin but access to camera without?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Yep +1 for wigetlocker from me.
Latest version is awesome compared to earlier ones.
I bought it ages ago and shelved it for jkay and go locker but I installed it again last week and it's really come a long way.
This was what made me take another look at it.

Just tested this - if you have PIN security set up then you still need to enter the PIN even if you're starting the camera app from the widgetlocker screen.
Hmmm.. might be time for me to look into some coding!

I just switched from Mi Max3 to black shark 3 pro.
For Mi Max 3, when I got notification while the screen was turned off. I got the information of that notification right away as in the picture. It's very convenient. Just glance at the screen and get information.
But for BS 3pro, when I got notification while the screen was turned off. It just make a sound and show only the black screen with fingerprint icon as I called "first lock screen".
I have to press power button or unlock it first to see information which is not convenient at all when compare to Mi Max3.
Is there any way to remove first lock screen? Please help.
And you can turn on raise to wake.

Thank you. But I still have to raise the phone. Is there any way to just "glance" at the information. 555
Already got used to the lazy way with mi max3.
how about always on screen. you can set it to recognise your face with face unlock and show your notifications or bring you straight to the home screen.
