Root Anyway to remove lock screen?

Of course, do a nandroid backup first.

There's a way to remove the lock screen. There's a patch or an app or something that removes it. Then just leave the pattern enabled and hopefully it'll work.

If not, do do a backup and then try this:

Then, go to /system/app/lockscrn.apk
(At least, I think that's the file name. That's the right location though.)

Hopefully if you do that, and enable the pattern thing it'll work.

--OR

Install a vanilla rom and use the pattern thing in that. Still gotta do the slide and the pattern, but it's a lot faster IMO. I recommend TaintedVanilla (look over at xda).
