Hi guys,
I am running MIUI 1.8.19 and have only one issue, whenever I set a screen unlock pattern under "Settings -> Personal -> Personal Password -> Pattern" it lets me set a pattern easy enough but when I unlock the phone from the lock screen, the pattern only appears the first time. Then anytime after that I lock it again it will never ask for the pattern again.
I wonder if anyone else has seen this issue and if there is a fix.
Many thanks
Atanu
Just tested mine, but i'm running 1.8.5. Works fine for me, so maybe you should try that one.

Hello everyone,
A couple days ago, I went into the settings and added the unlock pattern screen to my phone. I was hoping to add this AFTER the slide screen, so when I saw that the slide screen was gone, I decided to remove the unlock pattern screen. Now that I have done that, when my phone tries to boot up, it's still telling me to draw a pattern, even though I went into settings and removed the pattern unlock setting. As a result, when I go to draw a pattern, it doesn't recognize anything and says incorrect pattern. Now I can't access anything in my phone. Does anyone know what I may be able to do to correct this situation?
BTW, I'm using FREEX10 Beta 3.
There is an option to hide the dots, but you still have to draw a pattern - have you tried using you pattern over what might be the invisible dots?
No, I can't even access the settings to change anything regarding the pattern setup at this point. But I did not try that...not sure it would make a difference anyhow? Thanks for the response though!! Anyone have any other ideas? Or will I be forced to restore my 2.1 backup? Don't want to do that quite yet until I know that's my only option.
Well I messed with it some more. Seems like you can draw the pattern, but you just don't see the pattern trail. So apparently, my pattern was still working, I just happened to check off the box with the visible pattern. Stupid me, I feel like an idiot now.
Right...so somehow a really long time ago I managed to root my HTC Hero while adb did not even work properly (couldn't use most of the commands). Either way....I now have Froyo 2.2.1 special edition flashed with ADW launcher but I can't see the slide to unlock screen. The same happened with Froydvillain 1.7.2 with LauncherPro.
It doesn't matter what button I press to wake my phone up, it never shows the slide to unlock screen. I've searched through all the settings on both and haven't found anything. Maybe i'm missing something. maybe it just is an error. Please help me find a suitable solution How do I get my slide lock back?
PS: my biggest problem is not having slide/lockscreen music controls. I use bTunes to get around that (controls before pattern unlock shows) but it lags.
-edit-
I found a setting I overlooked but hats not completely what I wanted. Settings -> Location & Security -> Set up screen lock and disable it or set to none. Now I get an slide to unlock but fr security reasons (obviously) I want slide to unlock and then a pattern.

"slide to unlock lock screen with pattern" on Modaco forums (since i can't post urls)
slide + pin is a possible. still hoping someone finds slide + pattern
Hi all,
I have MIUI 1.11.11 downloaded from miuiandroid dot com
Is there a way to disable the lockscreen but set a pin or pattern lock? In other words, I'd like to unlock the screen only with a pattern or pin, rather than by first sliding open the MIUI lockscreen and then entering my pattern.
I tried these two apps:
'No lock'
which doesn't work on MIUI and a pattern, and
'Intelligent keylock unlocker'
which unfortunately drains my battery.
I can't yet post links as I am a new user but these apps can be easily found on the market.
This seems to be a common question but I couldn't find an answer...
Thanks!
Same question here. I'm running the latest MIUI 1.12.1. I want to use the pattern code, but not want to pass first by lock screen.
Thnx.
Me too, same problem. any suggest? thank you!
Same problem here. I cannot believe that they made it to work that way, and there's no solution for it.
You used to be able to set it so when you do the pattern unlock it doesn't do a massive line across the screen showing everyone exactly what your pattern is.
Can't find it any more. Anyone help?!
Settings -> Security -> Select pattern
After the setup there should be an option to hide the pattern. At least i've got one.
Ah yeah, thanks maddd.
My confusion arose because I'm using the face unlock, and when it asks you for the backup method (pattern in my case) it doesn't give you the option to hide it!
So you have to tell it to use pattern, hide it, then change it to face-then-pattern.
Bit of an oversight if you ask me.
It doesnt? Well thats not very smart. But if it works this way, I learned something too
Hello!
I have a very specific question and don't know where to start looking.
When i look permissions for a specific app, then there is sometimes something like this: disable your screen lock
Does this mean that the app can disable screen lock and activate itself through lock screen?
I think if your screen lock is pattern based then it won't come through and when it's swipe based then it will work.
I want one specific app to be able to prompt itself through pattern based screen lock.
if i would use CyanogenMod and someone would change something in the code then it would be doable?
Funny thing is, that in Samsungs official android 4.1 it worked that way (and was in their words "a bug").
it's not working in andoird 4.3 anymore: bug fixed i guess. but i loved that bug.
AFAIK, only camera is able to bypass pattern or password lock.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the app is Estonian mobile personal idententification tool called mobiil-id
you can legally identify yourself in banks that way
when my screen security if set for pattern and when i try to authenticate somewhere, pin query comes through screen lock and i enter pin and phone does not unlock itself at all and goes back to sleep.
but when security is set for pattern, then i must unlock screen manually to enter pin. i can hear beep sound though.
probably should try to find some cm programmer who knows if there is a way to manually make some exceptions.
there is a possibility to compile your own cm and then deploy it. if it were some minor change, then i would do it myself with some help.
i know it's kinda security breach, which i'm willing to take.
