Is there a way to completely disable the slide to lock screen everytime the screen times out?
It tends to get annoying time to time and also since I use a Folio case, I would like to just open the cover, press the power and it be ready to use.
No and this will not been changed.
I installed another options which lock and screen off with the sensor but still the screen lock pop-up.

look into the market for app called ( Keyguard Disable )
No lock from the market is the best, or if you flash cm7 there's an option to disable it.

I am using Antilock-simple and serves the purpose....
like natious, no lock works great for me.
I believe some of the other apps stop the tab from sleeping

Gonna give no lock a try...thank you for the suggestions
Glad i found this thread. Just installed No Lock and glad
yea, i download no lock as well, i like the icon and simplicity of it. Works great.
Agree with you all-i've been using no lock since I came to Android- simply the best.

Lockscreen
Hey guy's I've found that nolock does work, but it also shut off the availability of any other Play Store alternatives. I found that freezing or deleting the sprint OMADM.apk will disable stock and also alow any after market lockscreens such as holo's to work, only thing is the pin or password, or face unlock.
I want to completely disable the regular slide lock, and use pattern lock only. I downloaded the "No Lock" app from the market but this disables both the slide lock and the pattern lock. I want to remove the slide lock and retain the pattern lock. The slide lock provides no phone security if someone walks by and picks it up, and with the pattern lock enabled you have to do do both it and the slide which is kind of a pain in the ass. My old Samsung Moment didn't need to do both...I could just pick one or the other. Any suggestions are appreciated.
With just pattern unlock enabled you don't have to slide to unlock too..I have pattern enabled and I'm not sliding as well..no need for a separate app

I've been unable to come up with that. How do I disable the slide-lock? Everytime I enable the pattern lock, I still have to complete the slide-lock and then do the pattern as well.
Which ROM?

Just stock right now. I do have the device rooted but I haven't had a chance to get recovery installed and go to a ROM (Just got it friday)
Ah. Try a custom ROM. That may get what you want.

I'm on cm9 if that helps lol

CM9 still has the same issue as far as having to pull the slider across the screen and entering the passcode/pattern. The only other option available on CM9 is the keyboard slide unlock, but I don't think that will help him either.
I don't think there is a way to get to the pattern/passcode screen without pulling the slider across the screen first to let the system know that you want to unlock the phone. Pressing the unlock button on the top of the phone still takes you to the screen to pull the slider. As far as I know this is standard for not only stock android, but all of the ROMs as well.
I use the app NoLock from the market to disable my lockscreen (stock ROM), but enabling pattern lock forces me to use the lockscreen as well. I wonder why the one is dependent on/tied to the other.

That is a complete lie because here I am without the slide to unlock..not trying to start a war but all I know is I had slide to unlock on..kept having the phone slide open in my pocket so I switched to a more secure lock. (Pattern) and now all I have to do is the pattern unlock..unless my one phone is a freak among freaks, you are wrong

Wow, okay. My comment was based solely on personal experience with the android software. I'm not a dev, but I've been rooting my android and using custom roms since the Original G1 came out, and I've never seen an unlock screen that doesn't have a slider. I'm not calling you a liar, but in my experience, Custom ROM or stock, I've always had to drag the slider across the screen to get to the pattern unlock.
I removed my pattern lock because I hated having to both pattern and slide. I imagine there is a file somewhere we can edit to fix this. Anyone know what files/apk controls the lock screens

Well, would you mind explaining how you got it to work like that then? Obviously I've never seen it work like that, and the OP can't get it to work either.
My previous phone, a Samsung Moment didn't require the slide and pattern lock both together, I could enable either one stand alone. It was a custom rom and was 2.3 based. Other than that I don't have much more info...
Instead of No Lock, try No Lock Screen. Similar functionality. I used it when I just had Go Locker. By default, one would have to unlock go locker, unlock android slide unlock, then enter the pattern. No Lock Screen effectively removed the default lock screen and kept the pattern.

I go into security..hit lock or lockscreen (or whatever its called)..then change to pattern..put in my pattern then voila I'm done..I don't do anything special its just what happens..its what happened on all my other phones too so idk what you guys are doing different
/Droid3
Any progress on this? I'm using default CM9 as well and face the same issue. However, on some ROMs which are based on CM9 I do not have to slide and use pattern together.
Same issue here
This has annoyed me A LOT since i bought my Droid 3. For what i read, it is embeded inside motorola software, that slide to unlock feature cannot be removed. We are used to see Samsungs, where the its possible to set the only unlock mode to pattern or pin... well... not in Motorola. And after a while you will notice that even the apps that are made to remove the slide-to-unlock sometimes fail. So, to solve this, we would need someone with A LOT of knowledge on programing and Motorola APIs, maybe even have to mess with the kernel... =(
Can you skip the slide lock screen after you set up a pin/pattern lock?
With a secure PIN/pattern lock in place, the initial slide lock screen seems redundant. I want to eliminate even a single step that is unnecessary.

Let me bump the topic. I just bought Motorola and I have corporate mandated PIN. The lock screen is really annoying and redundent.
Are you both using the stock rom (Gingerbread, Android 2.3.x) or ICS?
In ICS (.215 leak) I currently have only a pattern set up, there's no separate slide screen anymore. So an update to ICS may solve this problem.

I just tested this on stock .217 ICS. PIN lock screen unlocks directly, not through slide screen.
I haven't tried pattern or face unlock, but if it works for PIN, I'd be surprised if it didn't work for the others.:fingers-crossed:
Looks like the problem might be solved with ICS in general (two data points... .215 and .217)

I tested pattern, pin, and face unlock this morning on the 217 ics and all three seem to be bypassing the slide to unlock now. This was a huge bug for me on older builds of Android. It's nice to see it seems to be finally working.
I've got Widget Locker installed and it's extremely better than the default lockscreen. The only issue is the delayed and sometimes inoperable "auto swipe" feature. It likes to work if it isn't in landscape mode.
Is there any way to remove the stock blur lockscreen and replace it with Widget Locker without using easy-wake?
Edit: I'm using Maverick v4.5 if it makes a difference.

But that will also remove the pattern lock from stock. (right??)
I tried numerous apps and hacks to remove the stock lockscreen while remaining pattern lock. There's one app that does it but there's always a delay or glitch.

It's pretty standard procedure for touchscreen devices, isn't it? My iPad makes me swipe to unlock then type in my lockscreen passphrase almost all of the time, as does my iPod Touch.
I prefer it this way, actually. Muscle memory always has my thumb poised to swipe to unlock, and it's easier for me for the procedure to be consistent rather than different when the pattern lock time has passed. It's also easier when I need to tel my wife what to do when we are driving and I get a text message...

No it's not normal. Entering your password/pattern lock already unlocks your phone - there's no need to do a swipe before that.
If only widgetlocker had it's own built-in security features

My phone makes me do it twice. I have to swipe, then put in my pattern lock. Or vice versa I can't remember, it drove me nuts so I removed the pattern

Close, but this removes the passcode/pattern/password lock. Its almost the same as using the easy wake option without hardware buttons waking the device.
It might not be possible but I'm looking to keep the passcode if it is.

Even with widgetlocker it's still a bit buggy/glitchy. Pretty often the stock lockscreen comes up for me or it flashes for 1sec. Very annoying.
Also when you draw your pattern wrong it will always show the stock lockscreen.
I wish there was a way to JUST remove the lockscreen blur slide screen, without removing the security features
Widget Locker bugs out on me too. It sometimes seems to skip the lock screen and auto swipe on my pass code screen, pushing a bunch of numbers.
Either way, I'll just SeekDroid my phone for security and use Widget Locker until I find a better solution.

Hey XDA'ers,
I just picked up my N6 a few days ago.. I've been on Nexus devices after I gave up on the Galaxy S3. Never looked back! (Except for my CM12 LG G3 )
So here is my question to you all. Has anyone created or integrated app/code that once your face is recognized, unlock to home screen without a swipe? I was comparing the iOS finger unlock with my fam this weekend and it would be nice not to swipe up even though your face has been recognized.
If its not implemented, I can donate some money for someone to create something like that if plausible. Maybe a bounty if others are interested.
Thanks for taking a look!
Is that not the default behavior when you select face unlock as your security? I haven't used it in a little while however I am sure that is how it works. Turn on phone, look at it, boom home screen.

Nope. I use face unlock right now. Once it recognizes your face, it allows you to swipe up. It didn't automatically unlock.
Couldn't this pose a risk of unlocking when unintended? Perhaps you just want to see notifications on the lock screen quickly and see if you actually want to unlock and act? Or what about changing the track in the lock screen music player?

I see your point, however if someone were to make an app or bake it into a ROM, there could be a "hold off for __ seconds" before it checks for a face and goes to home screen. For instance, you could make it zero if you want immediate unlock, 10 seconds to check notifications. And if you didn't want to unlock and just check notifications, you would just hit the icon so it stays locked until you swipe up at that point (how it is with 5.0 at the moment.

Then I would be too impatient when I want to skip the lock screen and just swipe anyway - defeating the purpose. Swipe is faster than wait 10 seconds to auto-unlock.

I think it just makes sense! If you don't want it, simply deactivate the feature, right? I'm starting my developing classes later thus summer. Maybe I'll be able to cook something up if nothing shows up by then haha.
Thanks for your interest guys, but it looks like not many are interested :/
+1 definitely would love someone to fix this
Bump because I want this, I can't figure how to do something like this with tasker.
What I want:
Condition: Lockscreen locked with pattern, trusted face enabled and triggered.
Scenarios:
1. Notifications present? Remove pattern but allow me to swipe to unlock when I'm ready. (Current behaviour)
2. No notifications? Go straight to homescreen without any interaction as soon as my face is detected. (New behaviour)

I've been trying every combination of tasker and secure settings I can think of, but there's no way I can detect when smart lock is triggered with the built-in settings.
http://nelenkov.blogspot.com/2014/12/dissecting-lollipops-smart-lock.html
I read that, and there seems to be a per-user trusted flag that's edited by smart lock, if tasker somehow could read it, we could trigger actions with it.
There problem is I don't know where the flag is or how to read it, I'm a bit out of my league here, maybe you are more knowledgable in this matter.
Take a look at the Stock LG G2/3/4 ROMs, this is their default Face Unlock behavior. I came from the G2 and am having withdrawals, partially because of this feature.
