Anyway to make this happen with native 4.1.1 lockscreen function without rooting?

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I use 4? Not sure what your problem is?
PIN number is always 4 digits
Not SIM pin in lockscreen settings u kan chose swipe, password, pin among others. Before jellybean you could use only 4 numbers now you have to use 8.
Same on my coworkers updated S2

Is it a policy applied by your exchange server or something like that?

Nope not likley. becouse it was that way out of the box.
If you go to lockscreen settings and chose pincode as unlockfeture dosent it say that you have to use 8 numbers?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
see? I used 4 digits and it allows me to continue if I wish! And ofc, I set it by 4 digits and try it on lock screen and it works!
Maybe something messed with your device adminstration in your Security options .. idk

You could also take look at JKay Deluxe. Here you can use the quick settings button called 'Secure mode'. When Secure mode is disabled then you don't need to enter a pin code. But your phone still thinks you use a pin code!

Anyone is using the widget locker lock screen replacement? How did you resolved "swipe to pin" that is not working on the razr stock lockscreen so I can skip the stock lockscreen and go directly to the password dialog??
Thanks
Sent from my XT910 using xda premium
Do you have root?
Under root helper in advanced you can change it to the DROID bionic and it will auto swipe the stock lock
Yes I have - I tried all the possibilities in the root helper but the swipe is not being done correctly (if i am fast enough to swipe the locker screen an then the stock lock screen to see the password dialog, i can see that it swipes over "qwertyuiop" but its a wrong place because the unlock ring is much lower on the screen...) :-(
Sent from my XT910 using xda premium
I just tested it on mine and it swiped the lockscreen just fine
May I ask you what is your setting and which type of the autoswipe you picked in the menu? Are you on stock 2.3.6?

Ya I'm on stock 2.3.6 .181, I have the ICS lockscreen style look. I picked the MotoBionic under the Advanced - Root Helper - Autoswipe Pin. Also just put in a password in the security & lock.

Strange - I have the exactly same setup but I can't bypass directly to the password prompt...- the ring in the middle of the screen remains untouched..
What do you mean by " Also just put in a password in the security & lock."?
Sent from my XT910 using xda premium
I put a password in the "location & security", I used the password setup...are you using the pin? I noticed with the pattern I didn't need to have the auto swipe to use the pattern lock
I am using standard password - not a pin or swipe geasture...
Strange....strange..... :-(

hi guys
on my s3, when i look at all homescreens i have, my phone talks in a male voice saying "open homescreen page edit, and then from there when i click on any of the homescreen it says "work space and then..." the page number
how the hell do i disable this guy talking i dont want him, i dont know how this even happened
Remove all accessibility services (e.g. Lightflow) from the Android settings. It's a known bug.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Ive heard using go launcher gets around this
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
it was light flow that did it, uninstalled it as i dont wanna use any other launchers, thanks for the help. I there any led notification app i can use that doesn't have this problem?
Not if you have to add them as an accessibility service. Again, this is not Lightflow's fault. Any app added as an accessibility service causes this behavior.

Im using wanamlite's latest version running 4.2.2 version samsung based.
Today two pages appeared somehow and only one of them is editable,and i cant delete it..here are the pics:
The problem is that the tab that cant be edited is the one that appears when unlocking the phone and it have small clock etc(tried editing in settings,didnt work) any solutions?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Its a 4.2 lock screen. I dont think you can remove the clock from it. If you can, i've missed it but I have looked.
If its a clock widget, you can just hold and move to the trash bin.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
the problem is that i cant remove it from there(in the picture without that pencil icon) but on the other tab i can !
someone?
I think that u can only resize the clock widget. You may be able to remove it from the settings under lock screen. Hope this helps.

Galaxy S5 Tips and Tricks Thread!
So there seems to be one of these thread for every device on XDA so why not start one for the new Galaxy S5!
Here is a few things to start off,
Missing the menu button? If you long press the new recent apps button it opens the menu!
To access developer options, navigate to settings/about phone and tap the build number 5 times!
Once in developer options, Samsung has left in the ability to switch to the new ART runtime which may give you a performance boost!
Most people should know this by now, but to access the kitkat easter egg, go to settings/about phone and tap the Android version 5 times.
cTo access recovery/download options, its the same as its been since the S2, hold down either volume down for download mode or volume up for recovery and hold the home button while pressing the power button.
There are many flagship apps that Samsung (for some reason) has decided not to ship with. Make sure to go to the Samsung store to install them. The S5 does support S Note, S Translator, WatchOn and many more!
Also, check out the Galaxy Deals section for specials on premium services such as Evernote Premium.
You can change the layout of the settings between grid, list or tab view but tapping the menu on the top right.
If anyone has any more feel free to post them!
Anyone try running ART? Thoughts?
What is the difference between ART and the Dalvik Cache? Why does ART improve performance?

For anybody unaware, Samsung has been giving a 50% off discount on accessories from their website when you register your phone, and sometimes free cases, but this time it's the discount. I plan on ordering a wireless charging kit, with the 50% it should come to about $35
You should add the tip of how to disable the magazine from the launcher by disabling it in the home screen settins

How did you get Shealth to work? This has been confirm by several other people that once you install Xposed framework, SHealth will force close. I have also tested many things including clearing data, uninstalling etc. and it still force closes.

No, but they may spam with you newsletters and deals and may need to unsubscribe. No downside to it really

Nope not at all, you may just get updates and stuff through email from Samsung but thats pretty much it.
I upgraded my phone to Lollipop. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I know I HATE the colors. They are HORRIBLE... I want dark colors... I love black backgrounds with white lettering... not the other way around like it is.. yuck...
Anyways.. I put a Pin lock on my phone for a few but I don't want it locked anymore. I tried to change the phone lock to NONE but the NONE selection is light grey color and I am unable to choose NONE as an option. I included a screenshot. Can someone PLEASE tell me how I can fix this?? Please & Thank You

Do you happen to have an Exchange account set up? I know with my company the policies are to require a password or PIN to unlock the phone.
No I don't have that kind of account.
Does anyone have any help they can offer me for this problem I am having...
Read the 1st post in this topic and it will explain..
I don't want a lockscreen on here anymore but I am not given the option to use either "none" or "swipe".... they are greyed out and I can't choose it...
Please help me!!

You've set something up on your phone that has administrator rights and has disabled a bunch of stuff. Trust me, I know, I have a corporate phone and see the same screen you attached to your post. Check your accounts, delete work email or exchange account...
I have no work email on my phone or exchange accounts. I was always able to choose to not have a lock screen until I upgraded to lollipop.

Do you have FoxFi for tethering? It requires a security certificate to be installed and acts as an administrator on the phone to enforce a modicum of security.
Go to Settings|More|Security Then click on Phone administrators. clear anything that is checked. then reboot the phone and try to remove the lock screen.
Let us know what happens.
I don't have anything installed for tethering. I went to settings/more/security/phone admin... and there is nothing checked.

Two options from a quick Google search. Amazing what you can find.
1. Remove any guest accounts. Verizon/Samsung removed this from our phones, so skip to item two.
2. If that doesn't work, delete certificates.
Settings / Security / Clear credentials - Clear all credentials.
Will deleting the certificates ruin anything on my phone??

No, it's the recommended solution found in a Google bug report thread. They will be restored, but you will, according to what I read, get your lock screen options back.
It worked!! I love u... thank u so much!!
