Ah. Replacing the lock screen and such is not at this point supported. You may figure out a hack to do what you want, but we can't guarantee it will work on future versions of the platform or even across devices.
The disableKeyguard method was original introduced for very specific situations such as showing the in-call screen while the device is locked. It has a lot of problems, and is becoming deprecated -- we have been introducing new window flags that provide a much better way to interact with the lock screen for the uses that disableKeyguard was originally done for. Also you will start to find that the method doesn't work in some situations. For example starting in Froyo it will not work when a device admin is requiring the user have a lock screen, since disabling uncontrollably (not using one of the newer window flags) would conflict with the security the admin is enforcing.
