OK, I understand the reason behind making it a "long" pause, but atleast for me, I enter my 'digits" in much faster succession. If I knoew which framework that needed the editing for that, I might just go in and do it myself 
[MOD] avlock[11], a real, system-level lock screen replacement (fixed 04/22/2010)

Turn on lock screen pattern on your phone
lock your phone
turn on the screen
*poof*
Its like magic
I've spent the past couple days cleaning up the sources and getting this better integrated into the Android system as a whole. I added the PIN lock as an option in the system's Settings, and also added back the original "drag" lock for users who prefer it:

Also, disabling the "Use visible pattern" option works now.
In other words, the source should be ready for integration into other projects/ROMs, even though it still uses CM as a base.
Code is available here (I'll also update the first post):

I'm currently a bit reluctant to release a new update.zip with the most recent changes because I had to modify a couple resources in framework-res.apk. The concern is that someone will flash a theme (or something) on top of my mod, then will be unable to unlock the screen or spin into a boot loop. Even though it is totally fixable by the user, I'd rather not cause problems for anyone. However, I may reconsider and push a new update.zip later today or tomorrow, after a bit of testing.
And yeah, I agree the delay should be configurable. I'll look into adding that soon.

Cool -- please let me know if you have any problems. I just started toying with git yesterday... I'm pretty certain I pushed everything to github correctly, but I'm not 100% sure. A confirmation would be great.
builds fine looks good.
here is an update.zip with your latest, from git, built against latest CM Source, from git.

You could roll it into an XDAndroid ROM for your particular phone, but a true WM app would be a complete reimplementation of the concept.

1avlock[10] is a (the first?) real, *system-level* lock screen replacement for Android (CM 5.0.6).
it replaces the standard "connect the dots" behavior with pin-like mechanism. patterns can be arbitrarily large, and nodes can be repeated. also, there are no numbers -- just circles. definitely not for everyone, but i think some people may like it.
here's how it works:
http://files.clangen.org/avlock/avlock.m4v
if you want to try it you must have CM 5.0.6 installed, then:
1. reboot to bootloader
2. nandroid backup <-- do it. seriously. just in case.
3. flash avlock[x].zip
4. reboot
5. if you don't have a lock pattern already, set one: Home > Menu > Settings > Location and Security > Set Unlock Pattern
faq:
q: what happens if something goes really wrong and i can't log in?
a: i've been tweaking this mod for a long time and you shouldn't have any problems. BUT IF YOU DO:
* restore from nandroid backup made in step 2 above
OR
* if you know how to use adb, just delete the file pattern file and reboot:
adb remount
adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key
adb shell reboot
q: what files are replaced by the patch?
a: framework.jar, framework-res.apk, android.policy.jar, Settings.apk
q: why not just distribute this as a simple .apk file?
a: this is a system-level mod because it replaces system-level components. it cannot be distributed as an .apk.
changelog:
avlock[8]:
* initial release
avlock[9]:
* added tactile feedback
* reduced login delay
avlock[10]:
* disabling "Use visible pattern" works now
* better integration with system and Settings.
* re-added drag lock option.
avlock[11]:
* added the ability to specify a pattern timeout
use at your own risk. i am not responsible for any damages caused by this software. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!
caution: if you update your rom, install a theme, or flash another mod that replaces framework.jar, framework-res.apk, or android.framework.jar, you may not be able to log in upon reboot (or even spin into a boot loop). either (1) make sure you disable your lock screen before flashing or (2) rm gesture.key as described in the faq!
