The new Gingerbread pin/password input seems painfully slow compared to the old one. Typing the numbers/letters seems to give more lag. Even so, when you go to set your password/pin in the settings that screen is blazing fast compared to the actual input. I would assume this is due to that new wallpaper fading and shadowing effect.
Concerning Widgetlocker. I have root which let's me unlock the system slider.
Onto the questions:
- Is there a way to change the security input screen?
- Is there a way to change the wallpaper shadowing effect?
- Is there a way to not see the system slider screen at all but still have a security pin using Widgetlocker?

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.

Has anyone worked out how to change the icons on the bottom of the lock screen yet?
I will be surprised if Samsung left us no way to change these but I guess it may require a file hack
Settings/security/lockscreen options/shortcuts.
Settings - Security - Lock Screen Options - Shortcuts
You can change them from there
Thanks for the quick replies guys, can't believe I didn't see that there!
is it possible to have shortcuts with the Pattern unlock lock screen?
I would like to have shortcurts to the Camera and Dialer while still have security provided with a Pattern unlock.
Is this possible with a completely stock (no rooting no anything) S III on Verizon?
Or do I need to install one of those lock screen apps? I'd prefer to remain completely stock for now if possible..

If you had shortcuts of any kind, that would kill the security.........
I wish Google would implement their Touch Gesture Actions From A Device’s Lock Screen idea asap... providing shortcut functionality without sacrificing security would be better than those 3rd party lock screens.

Not sure about defining shortcuts. but i used pattern lock and if I hold finger on screen, rotate to landscape, then swipe pattern, it launches camera.
if i have a missed call or text there is a circle on the lock screen with the qty and if i swipe off that circle then enter pattern it takes me right to that app (missed calls or messaging).

I don't care about security for the camera or dialer.
I know there is the camera motion shortcut thing but I like the clickable widget better. I want to have the capability to define widgets on the lock screen like you can when you don't have any security. But I want it with the pattern unlock. I guess this is not available out of the box? And needs a special app?

I would like the same thing... you can get it on the standard swipe to unlock so why not the pattern lock... I have tried various lockscreens but their not without their flaw...
Widget locker.. has lots of customisation and you can add custom sliders and widgets but... its buggy prone to crashing and takes a fair bit of tweaking to be secure (ie if you dont select correct setting you can unlock with just the home key) , sometimes have to unlock twice and it always request superuser access even when the phone is in standy ... so drains battery more than it should.
Go Locker - didnt like this at all just didnt seem secure... first version could be bypassed easily... plent of themes though if security is not a priority.
Hi,
Is it possible to create a lockscreen replacement at the application level that replaces the device's security lock, whether it be PIN, passphrase, pattern or face unlock, or potentially a new method? I know it's possible in the framework level, and have done it before, but I'm just wondering if it's possible to do it at the application level.
So far the few lockscreen replacements that I've tried only implement a slide gesture unlock lockscreen UI, and falls back to the device's security lock after that.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Anyone?
Hi. I just installed Cyanogenmod 13 (Marshmallow 6.0.1) to my LG G2 (D802, International edition from Finland). Here is some issues that I have with it.
- there is far too much scrolling involved in navigating trough the settings menu. The line spacing between options is much larger than it was in stock Kitkat 4.4.2. Is it possible to somehow reduce the line spacing and in this way get more options to fit to the screen and reduce the need to scroll up and down...? Changing font size does not affect line spacing. Changing LCD Density under Display settings does, but it makes everything smaller and I only want to reduce the line spacing.
- is it somehow possible to get clock, status bar, pattern lock and camera button all to the same screen? Pattern screen has nothing else than the pattern in it.
- when in silent mode and all animations off, the camera app (snap camera) does not do any kind of shutter animation (even white screen for a blink of second). Is it somehow possible to enable a white screen shutter animation? In current situation I am not always sure after pressing a button if the phone did or did not take a picture.
- currently the gallery shortcut in Snap camera opens AOSP Gallery. IMHO in AOSP Gallery it is too difficult to delete pictures/clips. Is it possible to change the shortcut to point to Google Photos Gallery...?
- do you happen to know if it is still somehow possible to get Chrome tabs to recent apps. I liked that feature but Google has removed it recently. I wonder if there is way to use it even in newer Chrome versions...?
- any recommendations for using Facebook messages on the phone? I hate Facebook messenger app.
- any tweaks for maximizing deep sleep and battery life are welcome (I already disabled location history)
