Default Double lock screen

Is there any way to disable the sense lock screen since I'm using pattern lock?

I would think not. The sence lock screen is just so if you accidentally wake your phone in your pocket, your leg/butt isnt touching apps and such. You added an extra lock with the security thing. Pretty sure you wouldnt want to have the sence lock disabled and then your leg/butt constantly entering the wrong lock code thus locking up your phone (as least i think that is what happens, not sure since i dont use the securtiy lock).

You're right on that one. If you were to disable it, you would most likely end up locked out of your phone at some point. Sure you can get back in with the Gmail password, but I have seen many cases where it still won't allow to unlock even with the correct name/password. Yeah, better to just leave that lockscreen on.

Ya but on all other phones I've used (N1 and Vibrant), if you used pattern lock, the standard lock screen didn't appear.
