Hi, I'm new to the AOKP rom. I was using CM10 and I thought I'd give AOKP a try as it's a smaller rom and seems to have a lot of other functions. But one function I don't seem to be able to find is to have lock screen widgets before unlocking the phone. I.e. A swipe and then type in your pin or draw your pattern etc. to unlock. It was an option available in CM10 I found it quite useful because it was quicker to get to the Camera etc. I have looked through the settings and can't find it. I've looked on quite a few forums and haven't found anything to help this. I have searched the forums and couldn't find anything but maybe I used the wrong words or something so I'm sorry if this has already been asked. Can somebody help?
Thanks JYC
me too!
I too am also having an issue finding this option (both swipe & pin lock security)
Any help in the right direction would be appreciated, even if it's not possible!
Ps I just moved over to Build 5 from Build 4

I have same issue. I can't figure out how to use pattern swipe with the lock. If I use swipe then I get no security pattern.

Hi there,
I was wondering If anyone out there knows of an apps to locks the phone. Im new on this and what I'm looking for is something to replace the unlock swipe screen that came with the phone. I want something like a numeric keypad as a lock / unlock application.

thanks
Do you want a different option for a pattern lock?
I searched and didn't find anything. My brother has a numeric lock for his Nexus, but that's a CM feature.
I don't think they're out yet. If you find one in the market chances they won't work because of TouchWiz and you would have to be rooted.
Thanks for your quick response to my question.I am kind of new on this and yes what I want is a numeric keypad instead of a pattern.
once again thank you !!
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.
Apologies if this is the wrong forum, or has been asked before but I couldn't find what I was looking for.
I spent quite a few hours making my lock screen just the way I like it except for a couple two things I can't sort out. Is it possible to remove the Home, Back and Task button from the lockscreen and add a hidden slider or pattern unlock? I'd like to keep the lock screen as clean as possible while still having some security.
Thanks
I have been lurking on this site for a while. Let me say thank you to all the developers here, its incredible that you would take time out of your life to help other people with our miniscule problems that we bring upon ourselves.
Anyway I recently upgraded from cyanogenmod 9 to cyanogenmod 10 on my Samsung infuse 4g. In the 9th version, there was a section in the system menu for developer tools. In it was a bunch of options but the one i am concerned with is the cursor. Actually i cant recall what it is called but when enabled, it shows a little circle wherever the screen is being touched. I love that feature and i figured it would still be in the 10th version but i cannot find it. I dont know what to search for to find information so i had to create this account and ask.
Okay i was playing with the settings and i found this.
Settings - Lock Screen - Slider shortcuts - drag the dot to a new location - activities - Dev tools - Pointer Location
but when i lock the screen and then unlock it and slide the dot to the icon, it just brings up a kind of app. the one in CM9 was global and it was different, it didnt track the touch, just showed it...
found it (?)
okay i found how to enable it but its hidden like a *****
Had to set Dev tools to the slider icon, then save, lock the screen, unlock it, slide to the dev tools icon, and the developer options is THERE. WHO PUT IT THERE?! How were we supposed to get to it? The dev tools contain many useful features. I use the long press back key kill app feature, and some people might use the max background processes to free up memory. You can change transition animation timing, and lots of other things. IDK why they hid it away on CM10 unlike CM9.
Anyway thats where the dev tools are. Question answered, maybe it will help someone else.

Go to settings - About Phone - And press on the "build number" for 7 times.
You will get a message saying "You're now a developer" or something.
And the Developer Options menu should be available in settings.
Hi. When I received the phone, out of the box security was not enabled and I was able to unlock the screen only by sliding the pad lock UP on the lock screen.
This worked well for me as I could read all notifications while locked, without unlocking the phone.
I then tried out the other security methods including Pattern. Didn't like it and wanted to go back to slide to unlock.
Under Security there is not a Slide to Unlock option.
Now, if I leave it as No Security, anything unlocks the screen, even a tap.
How do I get the original pad lock Slide to Unlock feature back?
A hard reset?
Sorry if this has been answered before, I did a quick search and didn't find a thread.
Thanks.
Set it to wallpaper lockscreen. Personally I use productivity so my messages go on lockscreen
Btw option is under settings / personalization / lockscreen type

Same Issue
Hello I am currently having the same issue with my lock screen. I hadn't even realized that switching the lock screen type was the reason, but it makes sense. Did you find a way to fix it? The above poster's method did not work for me.
Thanks for putting this problem in words!
So it looks like this is an issue that happens whenever you have an accessibility setting enabled as described here. This goes for any accessibility settings... Can someone confirm if this still happens with other Sense ROMs or if this only happens with stock?
