I really like the way iPhone has setup there lockscreen. When you press the home button you get the Side to Unlock screen after you side either it goes in or asks for a pass code. I was wondering if there is a way to do that on the sgs as well?
Like have the default Android lockscreen when you first press home, you slide it and then it asks for prin/pattern.
Reason i want this is so i can see my messages and song track on the default android lock screen and still have have it locked with a pattern. Plus its annoying to enter a pattern in the car while driving and changing songs so i can set the timeout of the pattern to like 15 minutes.

Does anyone knows if the password prompt after waking the devise can be changed? I had my corporate email set on my Nexus and the password prompt is annoying me every time i would like to change it like to prompt after 5 or 10mins is possible.
Are you on CM6? There are new settings to control the lock out time.

Yes I am on CM6 where are these settings? I been all over but can't find them.
Edit: Found the lock out time, what I like is to avoid the time it takes once locked to ask for password.
I am looking for this as well.
CM Settings > User Interface > Screen Timout Delay
"How long to delay before enabling screen lock when screen times out"
.......
Alternatively you can use the Power Controls widget and choose the "Screen lock" to do it manually.

I think we may be talking about two different things.
I have a pin lock set up. After the screen turns off its quite a pain to type in a 7 digit number each time. I'm looking for a way to continue to keep the slide to unlock screen when the screen turns off, but to delay the actual pin/pattern lock for x amount of minutes

The slide to unlock and pin are joined at the hip. You can't have one without the other. (this was stated by android team member and it will not be changing anytime soon as it's a security issue).
If you use the settings I pointed to you can delay the lock combo altogether for X amount of time. Use the top for when the screen turns off by itself, and the bottom one for when you manually press the power button to turn the screen off.
(I know this because I use a pin code as well, and I just tested it)
I supposed you could pester someone over at CM and they'll look into decoupling it.
You can download an app from the market to disable/enter your password for you if you dont like having to enter it everytime you wake the phone. I personally use an app called Lockpicker so i dont have to type in my exchange email password everytime I wake my phone. Just a suggestion.

I like your suggestion, because our Draconian IT policies force us to use a password after wake always. I will look for the app now.
Thanks a lot.
Edit: this doesn't work with Froyo. Bummer.

I see. I tried what you suggested and it is what i was looking for. I just have a habit of turning off the screen with the power button and never configured the second setting. Thanks for pointing that out!
I have a XT860 from Bell and since yesterday when I unlock the phone with the upper button the screen open and I see the lock-screen less than one second and it switch automatically to the home screen.
The sliding lock-screen works only when I set a lock, (pattern, pin, password)
My phone is rooted, and I uninstalled some apps with Titanium Backup but nothing significant...
I want it to work as it use to do, but there is no option like I used to see in CM7 to mess with the lock-screen timeout or whatever it is...
I would do a factory reset.
Yeah this might help but I want to figure out why this happen..
The lock-screen works well when there is a lock pattern after it.
But I don't want it.
And without is not fun when the upper button is pressed by inadvertence.
Hi Guys having had Samsungs for a while I am a little out of touch with sense and need some help. I have setup a pattern unlock because I need some security however because of this if I press the power button it shows me the shortcuts for quick unlock and then I have to put my pattern in.
On my old note 2 I could press the power button and it would allow to enter my pattern straight away I don't want to have two screens, I then turned off the lockscreen which means it just comes up with plain black screen and my pattern to unlock - problem solved or so I thought.
That was untill I enabled lock screen controls on poweramp which will now not work unless I have a lockscreen setup but that means two screens to unlock. All I want is to go straight to my pattern and be able to change tracks when locked. It can be done because the TV remote does this can anyone help me please.

You need to go to settings and change your luck screen to none. It will work then pattern only.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Yes I have done that but then the mp3 controls will not work with poweramp and it presents a plain black screen which I can live with but would ideally like a separate wallpaper and I need the controls
Can Anyone help me with this
Stupid question, I have been forced to use a lockscreen on my Z3C for security purposes, however i would like when i change my wallpaper for my homescreen and lockscreen to change simultaneously.
I know on iOS devices, when you apply a wallpaper you get the option for home, lockscreen or both.
Is there a way of doing this on the Z3C that im just not seeing or did sony/android just omit this feature entirely?
Settings-personalization--wallpaper for home screen.
Settings-personalization--lock screen for lock screen.
or
from a picture you hit the 3 dots on up right corner and use as.
the option like iOS i think there isn't,you just have to make the same thing twice
thanks punkyd but i know those methods, i just wanted a method to do both at once.
This has been bugging me as well
Screen Locker is an app that allows you to lock the screen. It locks the screen in a way that prevents someone from trying to press buttons and touch the screen to change what you want to show them. They can still use the power buttons and some devices the home button is not consumed, but they still shouldn't be able to exit the app you locked them to.
Once you activate the lock, which is done by swiping in from the activation window, you can then pass your phone around to all your friends to show them that funny picture, hilarious Facebook post, or incriminating text without them trying to delete it, look at other content, exit the app, and pretty much anything you don't want them doing.
Its very simple to use as well:
1. Configure your options and settings as well as unlock pattern
2. Adjust where you want the activation window to be
3. Leave the app
4. Tap the activation window till you feel a vibration then swipe into the center of your screen
5. Share your phone
6. Enter unlock pattern and profit!
I have a couple ideas for the future of this app. I will let you guys play with this one then I'll get your feedback and go from there.
One thing I was thinking is long pressing the activation window to "hide" it allowing you to touch whatever might be under it. There will be a notification allowing you to re-show the activation area again.
Please email me with any recommendations or issues.
If you leave a one star rating, explain why. I cannot improve anything without any constructive criticism! Thanks!
