i have a problem with my x10.2 days ago i installed a program that changes the lock screen.but after one reboot it didn't work anymore (i do the unlock method but it didn't show my home screen and lock program cant unlock screen) and i cant use my phone.plz help me
What lockscreen did you use?
i think the application name is lock 2
im on wbs CM6 and the main reason is because of the cyanogenmod option that lets you set a pin number to unlock the phone
i want to go bak to my optimized 2.1 but i couldnt get a working pin lockscreen (lockbot offers the option but it is easily bypassed by pushing the menu button)
iff there is an app or a mod to enable the pin lock from cyanogenmod on the stock 2.1 please throw it up
Hi guys , I have problem with my GSII , the pattern lock seem to be missing from the setting menu ( setting -Location and security ), I don't know may be because I installed Go Locker and may be because I messed around with the Go Locker setting ( Lock "Home"key ) option? even I uninstalled the Go Locker still the option for the pattern lock is missing from the setting, any solution ? thank you in advance .
( Sorry for my bad English )
In location and security is there the option to set up.screen lock?

No the option of pattern lock has gone from Location and Security menu( I don't know how ) have a look at the screen captures below , thank you for your reply .
Anyone have the solution for the disappearing of the pattern lock screen on the setting please help ( see my previous post ) , I've been searching for the solution but I couldn't find anything .
If you don't have any mods installed and running a custom ROM, the fastest way to get it running again would be flashing the custom ROM again.
Be sure it's not a full-wipe rom.
And perform a backup before you do anything.

Thank you , I just backed up and did the factory reset , and everything's ok now
Hi.
Very annoying... I've got properly root'ed SGS3, with stocked ROM.
Originally I have all available Security - Lock Screen settings interface which allows me to use it NON-protected Lock (so unlock by swipe with no PIN).
However I have installed corporate Root CA (Certification Authority) certificate in the device, also just standard stock settings interface under Security. It asked me that it will set security settings on Lock Screen to require PIN. I was so stupid to tell "Yes". It installed the certificate and indeed it made me to set PIN. But, because I am using WidgetLocker-drawn Lock Screen with sliders etc, it is awful that default ugly PIN-require unlock screen interfere with this.
I noticed that however I do not need this Root CA cert - because I removed it (also via regular settings under Security section), rebooted device and corporate e-mail works perfectly without Root CA added to the device.
I removed cert but it has NOT unlocked Security - Lock Screen settings back.
I checked under Certificates UI - my corporate Root CA cert is not there at all, so all original stock, but now I cannot set PIN-required OFF back as it was originally, all UI is locked telling me that it is limited by administrator, encryption policy or certificate store. How to UNLOCK it back to stock configuration??
I know bad methods very well of course (WIPE and FLASH), but what about lass bad methods? Because I did not touch anything beside regular stock settings UI so dream to expect there's good method of returning Security Settings/Profile to "LOW" or In-Secure back as it was on stock...
Big thanks.
SOLVED!
Settings - Security - Remove Credentials (at the certificate section).
Helps immediately. Lock settings UI get unlocked, swipe available again.
Sorry & thanks.

hi people, looking to your advice and suggestions.
I was on Android 9 Miui 10. Last night I did a dirty flash to Android 10 Miui 11. There was no issues during this process and the phone booted up fine with no loss of data.
Steps I took -
1) Disabled Magisk modules
2) Removed all screenlock and Google and MIUI accounts
3) Made a Nandroid backup before flashing
Today morning, I tried to set up screenlock on Android 10 MIUI 11. Added the pattern lock, and added a fingerprint. Strangely when I tried to add one more fingerprint (for my left index finger), it asked me to set pattern lock again. Well I set it again, and added the new fingerprint. Same thing happened when I set the face unlock. I added the pattern lock again. But, the patternlock never turned to ON status, even though fingerprint and facelock was showing ON.
When I tried to lock the screen and to test it out, I was able to unlock with swipe (with no pattern, fingerprint or face unlock required). I haven't set any smart unlock as well.. I thought perhaps a reboot will help, but now I'm stuck on a soft bootloop ( the phone boots upto to the lockscreen and reboots before I can do anything )
Is there any suggestions on what I can do ? Please advise. Thanks in advance

Fix
Managed to fix it my myself. FYI
1) Boot TWRP Recovery click Advanced> File Manager> data> system and delete 6 files (ref : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/remove-lockscreen-recovery-t3530008)
1.access_control.key
2.access_control_password_type.key
3.locksettings.db
4.locksettings.db-shm
5.locksettings.db-wal
6./data/system/users/0/settings_fingerprint.xml
Bootup was successful
2) After bootup, you might find it difficult to set the screenlock password (won't take affect). Follow this -
In a web browser (on any device), log into Gmail with the account you used when setting up your phone.
Go to https://myaccount.google.com/intro/find-your-phone
Press "Lock your phone"
Enter "abcd"
Your phone's screen is now locked. Unlock it with "abcd"
You can now change your screen lock.

Hi there,
Good that you resolved on your own.
Also, this bug can be resolved this way. Try to setup second space. If you are already setup earlier with a password then follow the other member guide until the removal of locksettings db files. Then reboot and try setup the second space.. while setting up it will request to setup the password or pattern for first space and finger prints for second space. Once done move to first space and setup the fingerprints there for first space.
Just making a note here.. so somebody can make use of it in need at desperate hours...
I have spent sometime to figure this bug in the first space but setting up second space solved the bug.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
