Lock screen

I would like to get rid of the slide down bar and go straight to the pattern lock screen. Right now i have to slide down the bar and put in my pattern lock which is frustrating.

Protecting your phone with a screen lock
Protect your personal information and prevent others from using your phone without
your permission by setting a screen lock password, a PIN, or a lock pattern.
Your screen lock will be asked every time your phone is turned on or when it’s idle for
a certain period of time.
1. From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings > Security.
2. Tap Set up screen lock.
3. Tap one of the following:
Emergency calls can be placed at any time without requiring a PIN. See “Making an
emergency call” in the Phone calls chapter for more details.
None Disable the screen lock you’ve previously created.
Pattern Set a screen lock pattern by following the onscreen instructions.
PIN Set a numeric password of at least four digits.
Password Set an alpha-numeric password. Tap the text field to show the onscreen
keyboard, then enter your password.
152 Security
4. On the Security screen, tap Lock phone after, then specify the idle time you can
allow before the screen is locked.
Changing your screen lock
1. From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings > Security.
2. Tap Change screen lock.
3. Enter your current screen lock to confirm that you want to change it.
4. Choose a different screen lock type, then enter your new pattern, PIN, or
password.
Or tap None if you don’t want to use a screen lock.
Forgot your screen lock pattern?
If you’ve forgotten your screen lock pattern, you have up to five attempts to try and
unlock your phone. If this fails, you can unlock your phone by entering your Google
Account user name and password.
1. On the unlock screen, enter your lock pattern.
2. After the fifth attempt and you’re asked to wait for 30 seconds, tap OK.
3. If the display goes off, press the POWER button to turn the display back on, and
then press the bar on the lock screen and slide your finger down to unlock the
screen.
4. Tap the Forgot pattern button in the lower right corner when it appears.
5. Enter your Google Account name and password, and then tap Sign in.
You’ll then be asked to create a new screen lock pattern. If you no longer want to do
so, tap Cancel.

I agree. Of course the above post doesn't offer any help....but hopefully a hacker will someday. Maybe an option isn't provided immediately because when the phone is locked, the slider works as an ANSWER/DECLINE when the phone is ringing? I don't know...seems like it would have been obvious to give users the choice to disable the slider.

theres an app you can get from the market called "no lock" and that will disable the slider lock for you

No Lock will negate the pattern lock or password though which is what he doesn't want including myself. Google or the Mytouch line should allow you to turn this off.

Anyone figure this out yet? I would LOVE to get rid of the "slide lock". It probably has something to do with uninstalling the themes from the phone but of course that option isn't there since its riddled with T-Mobile crap.
