Disabling the Lockscreen, but keeping the Pattern Screen Lock?

[Colchicine]

HTC Rezound, rooted with SlimRom ICS installed.

I have a pattern "screen lock" set on my phone. This is different from the slide-to-unlock "lockscreen" that everyone encounters on their phones. If I have a patterned screen lock, I fail to see the need for an extra repetative step with the lock screen. How do I get rid of it altogether but keep the pattern lock? When I hit the power button, I want only the pattern screen lock.

Apps like No Lock are not accomplishing this.

I also have a problem that when I get a phone call, it will ring but to answer it or to see who is even calling me I have to slide-to-unlock and then input the pattern to unlock it, then it will show me. By then I've missed the phone call! This is idiotic to me.

That's got to be a rom issue, just tried it on my SGS2 root w/ AOKP and it works like it should. If I select slide to unlock then it just does that, not both. Are you running widgetlocker?

That's the trick, I don't want Slide to Unlock... AT ALL. I only want the pattern lock screen.

Not using Widgetlocker, but the ROM did come with Apex Launcher.

That's ODD. If you select Pattern lock, there shouldn't be any slide lock anymore. Probably a ROM issue? This only happens when you have an additional lockscreen like Widgetlocker or Go Locker apart from the default lockscreen.

If it still is of interest: I found a workaround with mentioned "GO locker" in combination with "No Lock":

* Install "No Lock" and disable SENSE lockscreen (and Pattern) altogether
* Install "GO Locker" and activate Pattern Lock.

Works for me. The Pattern Screen is actualy quite like the Sense Pattern

Cheers!

Great!
So what you're essentially doing is using the pattern lock through the launcher instead of through the OS directly?

I've got a few other problems with this ROM anyway, and plan on switching to more popular and supported ROM.

I don't know for sure, but Go Locker might work without Go Launcher as well... didn't test it, though...

I figured after a little fiddling one can even skip the "No Lock" step, you don't need it! Make sure "Go Locker" is listed and activ in the administrator's menu (Sense Settings->Security->Administrators)
