[Q] I can access my "top menu" while in locked state - HTC One X+

When my phone is locked (I need to drag my "locker" at the bottom upwards to unlock it) I can still access my "top menu". This is causing me to open up my phone when laying in my pocket, and its very disturbing.
Can I change so that I cant access ANYTHING on my screen while still locked?
Im having my phone rooted with insertcoin 5.0-5 (ROM)

I don't have my phone in front of me to verify this, but I believe if you enable any type of lock screen security, it will prevent the notification pulldown.

Ah, okay, but that security is to for example have an PIN code or something before enter the phone right? Will try it anyhow. Taking more tips if anyone knows how to make this work without this security enabled. Thanks for answering!

[Q] Is it possible to change PIN lock screen appearance?

hello
i checked out widgetlocker and other lockscreen apps.
but the always juwt add another layer rather than modify the actual security screens.
i use the pin method to protect my phone.
and i do not want to first have to swipe away a screen to get to it.
but i would like to place a thing or two on the pin lock screen.
e.g. contact information in case the phone is lost or the ability to directly call someone without unlocking the phone.
(e.g. rather than just being able to call emergency numbers i would add a "call emergency contact" feature)
i was wondering if anybody could tell me which file contains the necessary pin screen layout information, i.e. which file would need to be modified to achieve this?
hope someone can help me out
or does someone know how to activate emergency contacts on the lock screen?

Well, you can put your contact under the "Owner Info", and it will show up on the PIN unlock screen (I use PIN lock myself). But as for having an actual shortcut/button to call a number, I have no idea...
already set the owner info, but that's not quite the same.
especially as it does not appear when you are charging or when the sim lock is shown.
i know that "ice_isenabled" should show the extra "group" and then show an additional button on the homescreen.
but it doesn't seem to work on my samsung.
motorola owners seem to be able to activate it...

Hmm... I do have the "ICE - Emergency Contacts" group, and I have some people in that group, but I didn't know it's supposed to enable an extra button/shortcut. I just checked, and it doesn't seem to work for me either...

Could it be something specific to a Moto custom UI (MotoBlur, or whatever it's called)?
which firmware are you using?
maybe you can see the group and add members but "ice_isenabled" isn't set yet?

[Q] How to remove remove slide to unlock screen with finger print unlock?

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.

[SOLVED] Turn off suggestions from settings in Nougat?

I really don't need to dismiss "on body location" yet one more time. Is there a way to turn off these things that appear unbidden at the top of Settings?
I'd like to stop these annoying messages too. Anyone know how to turn them off?

It took me awhile, but I think I've come across the solution.
First, you need to set up some kind of screen lock (not just swipe). I just used a "z" pattern. Next, tap on that annoying nag at the top of settings. This will lead you to some blah-blah. You need to enable this useless feature (which probably does not work on the NT anyway....) and then reboot.
Return to Settings>Security and look for "Smart Lock". Disable on-body-location. Now go back to your screen lock setting and return it to what it was (swipe, in my case). Reboot.
So essentially you need to enable the feature, reboot, disable the feature, reboot, and you're good to go.
Go to Settings and if the nag is still there use the three dots to banish it. It's gone for good :laugh:
That worked. Thanks a ton for the tip!

Updated replacement (insurance) phone upon receiving. Gesture unlock no longer option

So my S9+ took a tumble and was unresponsive. Luckily, I had insurance. So when I received the new device, I set it up, let everything restore that was available for restoration, and took the latest update (screenshot attached). Now my absolute favorite way to unlock a phone out of all the phones I've owned, was the gesture unlock. Not pattern, gesture. What am I missing here? I can't believe they would remove this amazing feature, so I must be missing something. Thank you!!
Anyone?
Gesture unlock as in the option for "swype" as a lock screen type?
Swype for unlocking the phone is present on my phone (G965U). If your using a 3rd party lock screen try disabling or removing it. If you have some sort of app/configuration that requires secure lock it might have disabled swype to unlock.
Otherwise maybe try factory data resetting the phone or else reflashing the update using odin?
No, not swipe to unlock, that's still available. Does no one remember gesture unlock? Like mine was up down up down up down left. Just swipe those gestures to unlock. How does nobody remember this?? Gf confirms btw, so I know I'm not crazy lmao
Do you mean this?

Gesture (singluar) unlock as I remember it was simply swiping your finger up the screen to unlock it. What your describing sounds more like a pattern unlock method.. Where multiple swipes in a specific manner will unlock the screen.
Looking on my phone there is a pattern unlock option. Is this option present on your lock screen > screen lock type settings?
** Edit - Never mind, the previous poster found the setting in question.

Unlock phone when opening dual-screen cover

I'm hoping this is an easy settings fix. I've searched online and in settings without success.
I have a pattern screenlock and use smart unlock. If the phone is in an unlocked state (because of smart unlock or a recent unlock) and I open the dual screen, it still shows a lock screen that I have to swipe away. Is there any setting (other than removing a lock altogether) that would enable activity as soon as I open the dual-screen, without having to swipe away the lock screen?
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried the Smart Lock options?
You can keep it unlocked while you have certain devices connected like a smartwatch or wifi signal.
Thanks! I actually am using smart lock. The device is unlocked, but I still have to swipe the lockscreen away, although I don't have to enter my pattern. I was hoping there would be a away to simply open the cover and, if it is already smart unlocked, that it would just pick up where I left off instead of having to swipe first.
