Hey guys,
i've tried some of the new 4.2 JB Custom Roms (JellyBam 5.2, RootBox 3.6, ReVolt 3.2).
I like them all in general (except for that camrea issue, but i could fix that with AOSP Camera mod).
Now here is the problem and i guess its me:
When i change the security lockscreen to pattern or pin, the lockring with the shortcuts doesnt appear anymore!
This really bugs me. Where is the sense to select lockring apps (shortcuts), when everytime i turn the phone back on (wake it up), the phone directly goes to the pin/pattern. So it's like "unlock without swipe"!
I tried wiping, reseting and all of that in CWM, but the problem still appears.
What confuses me as well is the possibility to change the security options in the "rom controls" or the phone settings. When i change something it gets changed at both places.
Hope somebody can help me with this...
Greetz,

Erm.....maybe because via the shortcuts, when you exit the app you are back on the home screen, so no security! No point in having a secure lock screen, then having 5 shortcuts to by pass it!
Surely. But this way, anybody can access the phone.
If i have to swipe to get to pin/pattern, its secure.
And i can access some apps (via shortcuts on lockring) directly!
See my problem?

I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to get a lockscreen that is part of the system, not an app. I have tried 4 3 different apps and non of them work right. They all freeze the system when i use the power button to put it to sleep, i get a white screen and nothing else. Please don't suggest any apps that is not what i asked this question for. I want a lockscreen that is part of the franework.
There is a screen lock in settings. You have the options of pattern, PIN or password. You will find it in Location and security settings.
No I know about that one. I mean a slide style lockscreen. Like on most android devices

no hope for original one, you may install WidgetLocker to re-enable it.
i tried widgetlocker and everytime i use the power button to put to sleep and then try to wake up all i get is a blank white screen. i dont get it.
I recently rooted my TB and installed the latest CM7 ROM. The only thing that bugs me about the ROM is that when I unlock it after being idle for a few minutes, it always returns to the last app or email or whatever was open before it locked. I would like it to always return to the Home Screen, or Desktop each time it is unlocked. So far, I have not been able to find any setting to make this happen. I was hoping someone might be able to give me a hand with it.
Thanks,
Mark
you could always just download "No Lock" from the market & just use the power on/off button to turn the screen on/off. then you wouldn't have to bother with the lock screen at all. i use that no matter if i'm on sense or aosp. always hated the lockscreen b.s.
Go into cm settings, lockscreen, style options, custom starter app. Set that to be the launcher of your default. Adw is the current defaulted launcher unless you have installed another 3rd party.

You can disable the lockscreen in the cm tablet tweaks settings. No need for 3rd party app.
Thanks for the replies guys. I was hoping to keep the unlock screen appearance the same, without adding more options. I like things to look clean and minimal. However, if it's not possible, then I'll just have to deal with it the way it is.
Thanks,
Mark
Did you ever find a solution?
I too am used to returning to the home screen when I turn my phone on, not the last app I used. Seems like it would be a simple setting...

Hello,
I'm running the regular stock system (unrooted for the moment) and I'm having a small problem with my lockscreen (which is currently set to 'Productivity', but the issue persists across others. Any touch to the screen will unlock the phone and bring me to my homescreen, anywhere on the screen regardless of whether I hit an app or not. Furthermore, I can't open up the apps in the drawer with a drag as you are supposed to be able to do.
I got the phone a few days ago and everything worked fine until some point yesterday. I'm not sure if an app is interfereing with it and I've done the basic steps of rebooting, changing lock screens, adding a password etc. I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this problem before and if they have a way to fix it?
(Also, I'm running Apex Launcher Pro, but I tried just running Sense again and the problem persists)

This is also an issue with different roms...........
lockscreen targets don't appear when pattern security is used.
targets appear if slide is used but then my phone is unsecure
would rather not install a lockscreen app.
some other roms don't have this 'problem'?
is there an edit or something I can do?
Well, it should be. Think at this: If shortcuts appear, you can use any of them to open an app, pressing Home would show your homescreen and that's it, your phone is unlocked with no effort.

in a few other roms I tried they had a 'show (something)' before 'something' ?
This meant I had lockscreen targets which then opened to pattern unlock which then opened my target.
Hello,
Not sure what the actual term for these functions are: when the screen is off and you pick up the phone and swipe in any of 4 directions it will shortcut to homescreen, blinkfeed, last used app, ? and what you turn to landscape and press down volume it will go to camera.
Is there any way to change what these commands shortcut to? For example, swiping up to activate flashlight.
thanks
There is no way to change these sense functions without root - If I recall, even rooting you still can't change these options - just have to use a different launcher/rom
This is about as close as you are going to get to the answer you want..its a common feature among custom ROMs..its called screen off gestures..and yes you have to be rooted,and no you don't have to be s-off in order to root the device...its recommended to s-off if you want to do things to the firmware, but I'm not sure of your experience do I'll stick to your question...
The feature I screenshot is from Bliss ROM...
