Change start up/splash screen?

Is there a way to change the default splash screen? The one when you hit the power button but before you unlock it?
 
i think youre talking about the lockscreen wallpaper. and yes, go to settings > display > screen display and you can change it there
 
Can I just get rid of it?
I would like to go straight to my home screen when I unlock my phone.
I really don't want to root it.
Thanks
 
Just went from my N1 (from when it came out for AT&T) to the G S2.

The splash screen is ok.. just a extra step to get to the main which is kinda no biggie.. but when I went to bed last night I notice that there is no swipe to mute the phone from the splash screen (unlike with the N1 from the splash screen you could mute the phone or turn it off right there at the splash screen).

Anyone else miss that little function instead of diving into the phone to mute it?

Other than it is a amazing phone (Got one for my wife a few weeks ago so it was my turn) and you really do get your $$$ worth. Now off to get a case for it.

you can download widget locker from the android market, it lets you choose from several lockscreens and most of those have the slider that will put the phone in vibrate or silent mode. its also very customizable, well worth the $2
 
The Elixir widget you can download for free does have an optional widget switch you can press to disable the lock screen, so just hitting the power button will wake the phone up.
 
I'm ok with the lock.. but once it is unlocked, if it turns off due to "timeout" and you hit the on button before it relocks, it doesn't go to the main menu. It goes to a useless blank screen that you have to swipe away.

Is there any way to do away with this?

i too went from an N1 to an S2, and love the phone....both actually. wish the S2 had notification lights like the trackball color on the N1.

you can also mute the S2 by turning it over when a call comes in, or like others have said short press pwr button.
cheers
