Root Anyway to remove lock screen?

Is there anyway to remove the stupid slide down unlock screen and just use the pattern drawing? I am rooted so I was hoping with root there is a chance to do this.
 
Of course, do a nandroid backup first.

There's a way to remove the lock screen. There's a patch or an app or something that removes it. Then just leave the pattern enabled and hopefully it'll work.

If not, do do a backup and then try this:

Then, go to /system/app/lockscrn.apk
(At least, I think that's the file name. That's the right location though.)

Hopefully if you do that, and enable the pattern thing it'll work.

--OR

Install a vanilla rom and use the pattern thing in that. Still gotta do the slide and the pattern, but it's a lot faster IMO. I recommend TaintedVanilla (look over at xda).

A market app called "no lock" causes the device to come out of sleep directly to your home screen.

Free.
 
No Lock brings the home screen up by a press of the power button; no line to draw.

Those with accidental phone or app launching issues should not use No Lock in the "locking disabled" mode, obviously.

The app offers a toggle for locking to be enabled if, for example, you carry your device in your pocket or a tight holster.
