I wiped my Folio 100, installed the FolioMod v1.3d, and from here I installed a lot of apps, and changed a lot of settings, one of them is the screen lock (PIN)...
Now I want to turn it off, but the screen lock option under Location & security is missing, so now I can't turn off tor change he screen lock pin?
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Is there any way to change a setting or something so that the phone never locks by itself? I hate when I leave my phone sitting for a moment and then it locks by itself.
Also, when the phone is locked and then you press the home button, the screen stays on for ages - is there any way to change it so that it only stays on for 5 or 10 seconds (like an iPhone)?
Cheers
You should be able to go into settings/personal password (or similar) & set "screen unlock security" to none/disable personal password security.
Yes. Get an iPhone (You walked into that one). In all seriousness, it's been a while since I've run stock on my phone, but from memory you *should* (not 100% sure tho) set the screen timeout in the display settings to 15 seconds or similar.
Hmm there was no setting there... I've already got lock screen turned off but that doesn't make a difference..
Is there a way to do it with a custom ROM? I need to get a deodexed ROM anyway so I can run Jkay's theme.. any suggestions of which ROM to run?
In hyperdroid there is an option to change how soon the lockscreen activates after the screen turns itself off via screen timeout, as apposed to when you turn the screen off via pressing the power button.
This may also be the case in newer stock roms, I am not sure.
Its in
Settings > Timeout (Under "Screen unlock settings")
Also in
Settings > Display you can change the scree timeout delay (aka how fast it auto turns off)
just put a long cooldown on the lock? swiping of an image is not that bad is it?
Maybe I am missing something obvious, but I am unable to apply lock screen security in any of the nightly builds of CM10.2. I have cleaned flashed them all and none of them work. I go into lock screen settings and when I apply the patter/pin/face unlock it goes through the process, but back in the options it remains as Slide. How do I enable lock screen security?
Edit:Just tried CM10.1 and it does the same thing. Driving me crazy!
Figured it out. My profiles were preventing me from changing it.
Help! In trying to get my swipe lock screen to self-actvate when the screen turns off, I've managed to make the problem worse.
I made it PIN lock, intending to return to Swipe after testing. Now there are NO options for locking except PIN and no obvious way to clear it. I've read all kinds of suggestions, none of which worked. Surely this is not a "feature"?
Edit: Oh, duh. I can't believe this isn't documented somewhere. So you just go to the settings menu under Lock Screen and it says PIN. You touch that and it asks you to confirm your PIN. When you do you are presented with all the options again (including Swipe). Whew! Now if only the #%@#$ thing would engage when the screen turns off like it should!
Hey so my v10 sometimes doesn't allow me to unlock my phone with my fingerprint and I have to manually enter my password. Is this a problem for anyone else or just me? I have changed the fingerprints and changed lock screen from knock code to pattern but neither helped.
Yes I get this too. I know it will force manual entry after reboot but I experience this throughout the day from time to time. Its inconsistent.
Do you use an app to put the phone to sleep? There is a known issue in Marshmallow where fingerprint unlock will not work if the phone is put to sleep via an app rather than the power button.
I do double tap the status sometimes to turn the screen off but I don't think it's that. And no I don't use an app to turn off the screen
I have a new F1 which has been set up with PIN, Face and Fingerprint unlocking. Screen timeout is set to the default of 1 minute, and all other screen lock options are set to default. The problem is that the phone does not always lock when the screen is off. Sometimes the phone will be unused for 30 minutes or more but the screen lock will not have activated.
It's running Android v8, with a software update downloaded yesterday (12/8/19).
Has anyone else had issues with the screen lock not activating?
