I recently flashed the latest version of Cyanogenmod on my g tablet and I love it. Everything works great except one thing...
There's no lock screen that appears when I wake it up or turn it on. It skips the unlock gesture, and the lock pattern that I set. I don't care about the first unlock so much as the second, since this thing has my google account information in it.
Has anyone run into this? I've checked every Cyanogenmod setting and regular Android setting I can think of:
CM Settings: Lockscreen Settings: General: Style Options: Rotary
: Lockscreen Gestures: None checked
Locations & Security Settings: Screen Unlock: Use Visible Pattern: Checked
: Change Screen Lock: Pattern set
Any ideas?
ETA: I should also add that the tablet doesn't seem to go to sleep on its own. I've changed the setting for screen off to 5 minutes.
Have you tried Settings --> CyanogenMod Settings --> Tablet Tweaks --> Disable Lockscreen?

Face palm. Thank you. I didn't think to look there. That was the problem.

Hello, all!
I recently installed MiLocker with a nice five-way app ring, and have it tweaked to use Dolphin HD instead of the standard browser, etc. Looks great, works great! I have noticed, however, that it disables the standard Android security lock (i.e., pattern, PIN or password). At first, I thought there was something in my Tasker profile or the CyanogenMod settings causing this, but I've ruled that out. It appears that MiLocker not only replaces the Android slide lock, but also the security lock.
Does anyone know if it is possible to use MiLocker in conjunction with the Android security lock? In other words, I would like the MiLocker screen to be displayed when the phone wakes up, I select the app from the five-way ring, and then my usual pattern lock comes up. As it is now, using MiLocker disables access security on the phone, which I don't like.
This is on an HTC Desire Z running CM7.
Anyone? It appears that MiLocker simply prevents the phone from locking at all, since none of the CM settings related to display and security lock are honoured (like lock delay).
I'm running CM 7.2, I have a pattern lock on, under CyanogenMod settings >> Lockscreen >> Unlock Options I have Skip on Security enabled, and finally, I'm using Widget Locker.
With that out of the way, I was wondering if it was possible to have a camera shortcut with Widget Locker that allows me to use the camera without having to input the pattern lock beforehand. Every time I drag to the camera I'm prompted with the pattern unlock, which is annoying. Is there a way to have the camera be unaffected by the lock? I'm even willing to build CM 7.2 with changes to the source code, although if there is an easier way, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks in advance!
I use an app called "app protector pro" and it works great. It allows you to select each app to lock individually.

Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is a way to automatically switch between pattern and slide to unlock based on location? I know there are automation apps out there, such as tasker and setting profiles. I tried the LITE version of setting profiles and it does have an option to disable the lock screen completely, but not to switch between pattern and slide lock screens. I'd like to have a slide to unlock while at home, but have it change to a more secure pattern unlock when I leave home.
My guess is that this would be difficult because whenever you manually change between slide to unlock and pattern it asks you for your pattern, i.e. it doesn't seem to store your pattern if you ever disable it. I haven't tried tasker because it doesn't have a free demo version, but I would assume that if tasker (or another automation app) does have this ability, it would have to somehow store your pattern so that it can re-implement it, making it possibly insecure?
I'm not sure if there is a custom ROM that will do this. I'm currently running 4.0.4 plain vanilla rooted and unlocked on Verizon LTE Gnex.
Thanks!
In case anyone else was wondering about this, I found a way to do this:
You can make this work using tasker (paid app) in combination with an app called secure settings in the market (free). you need busybox installed, it will check. works perfectly, i have tasker automatically switch pattern lock off when i'm at home (based on cell towers) and automatically turn it back on when i leave home!
nice
I see that this thread has been dead for a little while, but I found it through a Google search since I'm looking for a non-root alternative to Secure Settings on my new, non-rooted phone. I'm currently using Llama, which is a free, location-aware automation app in place of Tasker until I root my new phone. Llama works with Secure Settings, but I can't try the pattern unlock switch since it requires root.
I can confirm that Tasker will switch from pattern unlock to swipe unlock automatically with Secure Settings. I set pattern lock as the default, and had Tasker switch to the swipe unlock if I was connected to any Wi-Fi network, but you could specify which network if you wanted to. In this case, Llama might work better if ask you want to do is automate based on location. Llama has triggers other than location, but it's primary focus is location based triggers.
Just an addendum to this, but when you disable pattern lock, the phone will revert to whatever the last lock method was. If it was "None" the phone will turn straight onto the homescreen. If it was "Slide" you'll see the side to unlock keyguard.
If you want to change this, go into Settings > Security > Screen lock > Slide then repeat but choose Settings > Security > Screen lock > Pattern. This effectively sets the 2 lock types the phone will toggle between.

after discovering the world of custom ROM's i've found the RR rom, witch is wonderful for me.
after using a couple of versions of RR i've stumbled upon one tiny small sort of "lock breach".
when you wake your device from sleep the lockscreen appears with the "slide to unlock" (apple please don't sue me for using this phrase)
there is a possibility to slide down the toggles statusbar and from there you can open every app that is there and then the screen unlocks.
it is not such a big "lock breach" but sometimes when my phone is in my pocket there's a situations that this is just unlocking my phone
and causes to randoly starting apps becouse of the lack of screen lock.
the question is: does it should be like that or it's just something that the dev's just didn't noticed?
I have the same on Stock Samsung ROM. I just assumed it did this as I have not included any security (e.g. PIN code or Pattern lock)
Does it behave the same with these enabled?
EDIT::
If you enable any security on Stock, the Notification bar doesn't pull down at all

don't know about stock, had stock ROM only for couple of hours.
also tried with pattern and PIN and can't pull down the bar.
maybe it should be like this.
but still is there a way to lock this bar even with the slide lockscreen?
Hello,
I have trouble with control center. I have installed "Where's My droid" premium and "Smart lockscreen protector" apps. It's all great, but now there is another problem. When you lock your screen, you can still swipe down control center with all those (Wi-fi, Brightness, Auto rotate, bluetooth, Mobile data) options. So basicly, it means that phone thief can easily turn off Mobile data and I woun't find my phone. Meybe there is some solutions how to turn it off or something?

If you set a secure lockscreen, this should not be an issue.

I didn't quir understand you.. How can i set secure lockscreen?
Set the lockscreen with either a passcode, pattern lock, PIN code, face unlock, etc. Most phones have the settings in the Settings app under its own Lockscreen section or in the Security section.

I understand that, but thats not the case.. I have already lock screen with password. Thief cant get to my phone unless he enters right passcode to unlock phone/screen. I'm talking about the command central. Anyone can swipe down the screen from above and turn off the mobile data, wifi, etc. I have checked all lock screen options, but haven't figured ir out. For example here is article about iOs, but no androids. I can't post link, but you can type in google "how to turn off command center on lockscreen" and open 3rd website.
Sorry, should have tested that before I suggested. I could have sworn it used to be that way, but never use passwords so not entirely sure. Only thing I can think of to resolve would be a 3rd party lockscreen that has that option.
Is this issue was not resolved since 2015? I have exact same problem. I have face ID and fingerprint access controll, but still can swipe down with lock on and disable wifi, bluetooth and data. I Noticed this problem on MIUI 11, but still is a thing on MIUI 12 on Xiaomi Mi 9 SE
