Default [Q] How do you remove the default lockscreen?

I have looked around the Droid 3 forums but cannot find it, perhaps my search skills just suck right now.

How do you remove the default Motorola lock screen? I use widget locker and every now and then I have to unlock the phone twice. It's pretty annoying. Anyone know how to do this?

I have rooted and ran the script to remove bloatware, as provided by mr. psousa. I need to donate!

And I know it says you're supposed to post Questions in the Q&A section... but I don't see one for the Droid3! Just 4 sections... general, accessories, development, and themes/apps.

There should be an option in WidgetLocker to disable the lock screen.

Thanks, I'll poke around in there more. I thought I saw that option awhile back (before I was rooted) but didn't know if I should look for something that wasn't there.

Edit:
Only saw the "replace lockscreen with Widget Locker when possible." In the past before I rooted it would sometimes make me swipe both screens but so far since rooting it hasn't asked me to do the default screen... let's hope it stays like this!

You can flash a different ROM. CM7 or CM9 (pre-alpha), or Liberty all have customizable lock screens. I had the same issue as you before I flashed to Liberty 2.0

There are root options in Widgetlocker, 'replace lockscreen with root access', or something like that. Not sure where the option is, don't have it installed.

That's the best way. I think its under advanced settings. I never had to double unlock
