after discovering the world of custom ROM's i've found the RR rom, witch is wonderful for me.
after using a couple of versions of RR i've stumbled upon one tiny small sort of "lock breach".
when you wake your device from sleep the lockscreen appears with the "slide to unlock" (apple please don't sue me for using this phrase)
there is a possibility to slide down the toggles statusbar and from there you can open every app that is there and then the screen unlocks.
it is not such a big "lock breach" but sometimes when my phone is in my pocket there's a situations that this is just unlocking my phone
and causes to randoly starting apps becouse of the lack of screen lock.
the question is: does it should be like that or it's just something that the dev's just didn't noticed?
I have the same on Stock Samsung ROM. I just assumed it did this as I have not included any security (e.g. PIN code or Pattern lock)
Does it behave the same with these enabled?
EDIT::
If you enable any security on Stock, the Notification bar doesn't pull down at all

don't know about stock, had stock ROM only for couple of hours.
also tried with pattern and PIN and can't pull down the bar.
maybe it should be like this.
but still is there a way to lock this bar even with the slide lockscreen?
Hello,
I am using ICS 4.0.3, and have a problem with pattern lock (or pin lock) and screen off/on.
The problem occurs when I use any of the unlocker (examples of such unlocker: Nolock, Unkeylocker...).
The unlocker temporarily unlocks (so upon screen off then on, no pattern nor pin lock should be asked : this
is handy when I am at home, since there is no risk). The unlocker works well, but if I pull down the notification bar
and click on one of them (e.g. Gmail notification, SMS notification), then the pattern/pin lock is presented ! .
Howewer if the unlocker is set to Off (as if it does not exist), no problem pulling down the notification bar.
Of course at home I would like to have unlocker set to ON (so no pattern/pin lock presented upon screen off then on),
AND no problem clicking on the notification line (no pattern/pin lock presented).
The problem did not occur with Gingerbread.
Is there an explanation or better a solution to this problem?
Thank you.
Edit: the problem is seemingly due to unlocker application running with ICS:

On .290 and prior firmwares, you could access the camera directly from the lockscreen without unlocking via your password/pattern/etc.
I just noticed that I can't do anything on the lockscreen now that I am on .136 without unlocking the phone first.
I recall there was no actual limit to the number of apps you could add to your lockscreen before - for example, I had it so that when you swiped right, the camera started - but when you swiped left, it went to my GMail widget.
Sure, when I tried actually opening an email from the widget, it would prompt me for my pattern - but I could view the subject lines and first lines of each email without any problem.
I now can't seem to do anything - nor can I find a setting to enable it.
Has anyone else noticed this?

I have a Nexus 4, unrooted, stock, running Android 4.4.3. Is there any way to access the camera app from the lock-screen when using a PIN to lock the phone?
This is my personal phone, but my employer requires a PIN lock (with a very short timeout) in order to access my work exchange server. It is annoying to have to enter the pin each time I want to take a photo. Once the PIN lock has been enabled there is no way to access the camera or any widgets from the lock screen. All of the applicable settings are greyed out in the security settings menu.
I have done enough searches to know that this is not possible without rooting, but I am not clear on whether or not it is possible if I root the phone. If so, what is the easiest path to add a working camera icon to the lock screen?
When my phone updated to 4.4.3, for a few days there was a camera icon on the lock screen but it did not work. No amount of swiping, dragging, or tapping could get it to work. Then after a few days the camera icon just disappeared.
Thank for you help!
Hello,
I have trouble with control center. I have installed "Where's My droid" premium and "Smart lockscreen protector" apps. It's all great, but now there is another problem. When you lock your screen, you can still swipe down control center with all those (Wi-fi, Brightness, Auto rotate, bluetooth, Mobile data) options. So basicly, it means that phone thief can easily turn off Mobile data and I woun't find my phone. Meybe there is some solutions how to turn it off or something?

If you set a secure lockscreen, this should not be an issue.

I didn't quir understand you.. How can i set secure lockscreen?
Set the lockscreen with either a passcode, pattern lock, PIN code, face unlock, etc. Most phones have the settings in the Settings app under its own Lockscreen section or in the Security section.

I understand that, but thats not the case.. I have already lock screen with password. Thief cant get to my phone unless he enters right passcode to unlock phone/screen. I'm talking about the command central. Anyone can swipe down the screen from above and turn off the mobile data, wifi, etc. I have checked all lock screen options, but haven't figured ir out. For example here is article about iOs, but no androids. I can't post link, but you can type in google "how to turn off command center on lockscreen" and open 3rd website.
Sorry, should have tested that before I suggested. I could have sworn it used to be that way, but never use passwords so not entirely sure. Only thing I can think of to resolve would be a 3rd party lockscreen that has that option.
Is this issue was not resolved since 2015? I have exact same problem. I have face ID and fingerprint access controll, but still can swipe down with lock on and disable wifi, bluetooth and data. I Noticed this problem on MIUI 11, but still is a thing on MIUI 12 on Xiaomi Mi 9 SE
