Lock screen app with security pattern & notifications / apps on one screen (one gesture unlock)

Can anyone suggest a lock screen app that has notifications & some app "quick links" (camera, etc.), but also allows you to set a security swipe pattern - and does not require an extra gesture to unlock?

Everything I've found puts the swipe pattern on a separate screen, so that you have to do the usual swipe-right, and then the security pattern to get into the phone. Either that, or the pattern is on the main screen, but there's no way to access things like the camera without first swiping the pattern.

What I'm looking for is something that has the ability to do the swipe pattern from the main lock screen, but still lets me put low-security notifications / apps on the main screen as well.

I think the real issue here is that you don't understand that there are two different screens you have when you put in a security code or pattern. You have the Lock Screen which is really an Ironic name considering with out the Pad Screen it doesn't lock anything. Then the Pad screen which gives you the ability to tap or swype the code or pattern in. Its because there are actually two different screens that you will have trouble finding what you want.

Thanks for the reply. At this point, I would settle for disabling the (questionably named) Lock Screen, even if it means giving up notifications and apps, and leaving the pattern entry screen only. Unfortunately, the apps I've tried (No Lock and AntiLock) don't seem to remove the Lock Screen on my phone.

Interestingly, there's a thread on google code (https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79889) about a zillion posts long with people complaining about this very problem in Lollipop... suggesting that it wasn't a problem with previous versions.

My previous phone was running a custom ICS ROM, and I got used to it working the "right" way. My new phone is ironically running JB, and seems to want to force me to swipe unlock + pattern unlock no matter what I do.

Try CM Locker?

I did, briefly. My memory is that it had the same issue - two screens to swipe my way through to get into the phone. You don't know of a particular setting in CM that gets around this, do you?
