Default [Q] Lock Screen

I have looked, but since I'm not even 100-percent that "lock screen" is the thing I'm talking about, I wasn't surprised not to find the answer I am looking for.

I've updated my Streak on ATT to 2.2

Baseband Version
GAUSB1A131800-US

Kernel Version
2.6.32.9-perf

OEM Version
GAUSB1A131800

Build Number
12821


I miss the old lock screen (if that is indeed what it is called). I like having the network info, battery charge state, and other info right in front of me when I press the power button to turn the screen back on. Also, I don't really like the swipe to unlock "feature" of the 2.2. Is there any way to revert to the 1.6-style lock screen. Oh, and if it isn't called a lock screen, what is it?

Thanks

Do you use this with an exchange server that requires a password to unlock? If not, then Widget Locker is what you want (I think). It is a paid app ($2?) that lets you completely customize the lock screen with any information you want on it.

I didn't keep my 1.6 long and I don't remember what that lock screen had on it, but I think widget locker is the app for you.

I mainly miss the battery percentage when I press the power button. I don't want to go through all the hoops to see how much battery I've got left... that's my biggest gripe. Sure I can see it when I'm charging, but I want to see it anytime I press the power button and end up on the lock screen.

I would love to get the old lockscreen back, too! Isnīt it somewhere hidden within the Options like the old WLAN & Network settings windows is?
