Hey, I am looking for a way to always keep the "slide unlock" always on even when using a pattern/PIN/password lock. I am using CommRom 2.1 and I like it. Is there a way to add this to this ROM? Which other ROMs include this feature?
Why?
Because it enables direct to dial, direct to messaging, and (with CommRom) a custom message to appear in case my phone is lost, like my email.
Thanks.
I want the exact opposite and I am running CM7, I have to slide to unlock and then type my PIN in.
Hi, i want to use a face unlock that works this way:
After pressing the power button, i must slide to the wanted direction (unlock, sound off, phone,camera). After that, the phone must get the image of the user face to unlock and give the option to unlock by pattern (in case there is no light,etc.) and then it goes to the direction.
I'm using the ICS face unlock which is just like this, but it doesn't have the option to imediately unlock by pattern and sometimes the screen wher eshould be the front camera image just stay blank and it goes to the pattern...
I downloaded an app called Facelock for apps, butit recomneds that the user disable the phone screenlock andthis way i wonthave the slide option.
Anybody have a suggestion??
Please, the ICS facelock isn't working all the time...
The method with slide to unlock is redundant and annoying. How to remove slide to unlock?
I'm in the same boat.. every time I try to turn on fingerprint unlock, I still have to slide to unlock.. I'm missing something here..
I don't get it. When you have finger print as your unlock method there is no slide to unlock. They are mutually exclusive, you can't have both.

I have experienced the Slide to Unlock screen when I have a paired bluetooth device that I have listed as trusted. I think this is what these guys are talking about, and it is annoying. I wish it would just unlock to the home screen.
I think you should upgrade to latest firmware, i never got slide to unlock screen when i use finger screen function!
Look attachment!

Slide to unlock shows when you use the smartlock feature to keep your phone unlocked. It's there to prevent you from butt dialing someone.
Go to secure lock settng > secure lock time and set it to instant.
That way every time u lock your phone it will ask for finger print and will unlock right away

This man probably has it, your phone will not go to the lockscreen when fingerprint security is checked unless you enabled trusted devices and are near one. It should in that case simply go to the home screen as it does on most devices when similar schemes are enabled but it instead switches to swipe to unlock making the whole thing not only pointless but more work then never enabling trusted devices at all.
Its either a bug or stupidity, hopefully they get it changed.
Make sure you don't have any trusted bluetooth devices set up. If you do, you'll always have to swipe whether fingerprint authentication is enabled or not.
Aha!

Ha- that actually does work as a workaround, but sorry... What I want (and think OP is after) is to just turn off the swipe.
If the phone if unlocked, show me the home screen.
I want to take the risk of the buttdial!
Use case- pick up unlocked phone, press the side button, see home screen. Not swipe to get to home screen.
Don't know if that's a feature request or a rant or just a bit of both.

I tried to use No Lock Home module for Xposed instead of built in Smart Lock. But it doesn't eliminate Swipe to Unlock either.
I had my S6 set up to just require a pattern to unlock. Worked fine for the first 6 months I owned it. But since I allowed Samsung to upgrade my software, a swipe is needed before it will allow a pattern unlock. This happened to my wife's phone too. Thanks for the ****ing annoying "upgrade" Samsung.
Hi all, just a quick question about the lockscreen finger print scan. When I set up my lockscreen for when I use it, every time I set it up, I have to do the finger print scan for extra security, I have a finger print saved from when I set up my phone ( I just recently got it). My question is, why can't I use the finger print that I have saved on my device, instead of always having to do it each time I activate my lockscreen? Thank you for any and all replies.
Are you asking why you have to place your finger on the scanner every time you want to unlock your phone?
That's simple. Placing your finger on the scanner is faster and less complicated than typing in the password or PIN every time you want to unlock it. It's a security feature. If you didn't have to put your finger on the scanner then ANYONE can pick up your phone and access its contents. The reason you "save" a fingerprint is for the phone to know that it's you trying to get in and not some random person.
There are a few ways you can avoid placing your finger on the scanner.
1. You can disable the security lock altogether. This leaves you vulnerable to unauthorized people looking at your phone.
2. You can set up a trusted location such as when you're home. This will make it so you don't have to place your finger or use you PIN, pattern or password to unlock. I would recommend this if you live alone or you don't have anything to hide from a spouse or partner.
Frankly, if you have to press the power button to activate the screen, it takes less than a second for it to read your fingerprint and unlock.

Hi
After update MIUI to 12.5, I normally use an application (screen off and lock) to lock the screen, since double tap doesn't work.
Turns out that after the update when I lock the screen through the app, I can't unlock with fingerprint saying that "device locked by admin" and I have to use the pin to unlock.
Anyone knows how to overcome this?
Thanks in advance.

This was not funny at all i have to say,my wife is absolutely crazy because of this issue and think´s the whole phone is ruined because of this,okay..
Isn´t it anyone out there who has a solution for this or do we really have to wait for another update to come before we can have the fingerprint to work again because i really hope they going to fix this for us or?

Same here on mi 10T
I have learned not to update MiUI, as the updates rarely fix old bugs and ALWAYS introduce new bugs. Best just sticking with what it came with until a custom ROM comes along and then leave the MiUI crap in the past.
Problem is 3rd app lock method.
Here is solution:

I use NOVA LAUNCHER and I have same problem after 12.5 update. So I changed LOCK method in NOVA and it works.

So easy but still so difficult to figure out...
This was really good to learn about i have to say,thank you very much for your help!
I solved this issue after updating my Mi Note 10 to MIUI 12.5.1 by switching from 3rd party screen lock / turn off app to an official built-in widget simply called "Lock" (go look for it, it should be near the top in Widgets section when you press and hold empty home screen area).
To remove unofficial screen lock app you must first revoke admin rights, of course, otherwise its ghost will keep reappearing after each uninstall attempt.
I simply like stock MIUI Launcher, so using 3rd party ones to solve this was unacceptable for me.
if u guys are just talking about turn off screen without using side button, then there are some options present in miui...
1) [if u r using button navigation] setting> additional setting> button shortcut> turn off screen> choose as ur choice
2) You can also use the quick ball, 'setting> additional setting> quick ball' with quick ball u can use 5 shortcuts like home, menu, lock, clear cache, ss etc
3) the widget option... Just like d789 said
And 'double tap to wake or turn off screen' option is present in the "setting> always on display & lock screen"...
Thanks, I overlooked that buttons shortcuts in Settings can be configured to lock the screen as well (e.g. long hold Back or Home on-screen button).
Yeah, double-tap to wake or turn off screen is also very useful feature I use since day 1.

For me this doesn't work.
I use Nova and always have.
In Nova I go to "Gesture and Inputs" change the "double tap" to "screen lock".
I then choose "Accessibility" and add Nova.
After that if I double click nothing happens. If I remove Nova from accessibility and then double tap it asks me to use device admin or accessibility. I use this way on every single mobile I use but on 12.5.3 I can't pick accessibility as it refuses to do anything when Nova is added.

Thanks, I didn't know about that.
Now the only thing for me that is still broken is the fact that I can't use gestures with Nova launcher.
To everyone who's still facing this issue. This fix helped me and a lot of others as well. Try it out.
It's a rare but annoying glitch in MIUI, you can easily solve it:
1. Go to TWRP -> File Manager
2. Browse to: /data/system
3. Delete file "locksettings.db"
4. Reboot.
You will need to set the lock screen password/pattern again, if you had any before.

That's a bit harsh. We have had Redmi 4 prime, 5 plus, note 7, 8, 10 and mi 11 lite and I have not had significant issues during upgrades.

Do not follow this! It has hung my Redmi Note 8 - hung at "Just a sec..." not responsive. Still trying to recover the phone!

Dear friend, my phone is Redmi Note 7 Pro. I had no issues after doing this. It worked perfectly for me. So, as I saw this forum thread before fixing my phone, I just shared the information I knew. Not everyone will get the same result from this, because not everyone has the same phone. So, whether or not you didn't get the expected outcome, you shouldn't tell others to not follow this. It's their choice, not yours. Maybe atleast some of them will find it useful than you did.

Thank you very much.
This works for my RN10Pro using MIUI13.0.6, change the lockscreen setting in Nova, from admin to accessibility.
I can't double tap to close home screen anymore, but there's still home button in the lowest middle to do that.
The most important thing is, I can directly go to home screen just by touch the fingerprint button.
Thanks for your advice.
If you guys are talking about the fingerprint button then i suggest you just use the gestures that are provided by default of the settings since there nust be a spatial consisting of failure of recognizing the algorithm of identifying user by fingerprint method or they just didn't implement the algorithm that is stored inside the operating system of the phone.
So gestures is the only way to go you can apply gestures by using monetary apps that may give access to other gestures like slide down to view user statistics or usage and slide up to reveal system settings but i couldn't blame the operating system though for having not enough gestures but I'm also. Thankful that they have custom gestures so i wouldn't imply to an app that can be placebo or popular in playstore who knows it can be money cashgrab(just stating the fact that i had to cancel so many subscription on a gesture app)
