Hi
Just got the Sprint Marshmallow update.
I have two questions:
1. Is there ANY WAY to get back to the lollipop type lock screen? I hate having to swipe AND put in my pattern. Why should I have to do the extra swipe step? I can't see why anyone would intentionally decide to code something to make it more difficult.
2. I have had custom lock screens since I have had androids...but thanks to this dumb update...anytime I turn my phone off and back on, it loses my custom lock screen and back to the default. I
Any way that I can turn off my phone and have my custom lock screen too?
Thanks for reading!

Hi guys,
I realized that the lockscreen is doing nothing in the sense of the security on the S2. I am using a lock pattern and sometimes when I get a text call, or press the sleep/wake button a couple times, I can unlock the screen without the pattern. Anyone else notice this?
I read about this a while ago, some bug with TouchWiz 4.0

Yup, I noticed this also... on my 2nd day... I was *informed* that if I truly wanted to SECURE the phone 100% with PIN/PASSWORD/Pattern, I would have to choose LOCK immediately, otherwise, every other swipe the phone can be unlocked without it... EXACTLY like you experienced it.
Just change it to IMMEDIATE and you should be fine...

You want to set the Lock Timeout to Immediately (to clarify things) Located in Settings->Location and Security->Timeout
Hey guys - I have a lock screen question I'm hoping you can help me with.
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S4 (AT&T) with stock (but rooted) Android 4.2.2. I have the lock screen set with a pattern unlock. I set a 3 minute delay on the unlock (i.e. it won't ask me to unlock via the pattern until 3 minutes have passed since the screen turned off). However, when I turn the screen on during the 3 min period, I get a different unlock screen that just asks for a swipe to unlock. What I want is: if past the 3 min period, it should go to the pattern unlock, but if within the 3 min period, it should just open back up to the last screen I was looking at.
I previously used CM9 and it behaved as desired. Does anyone know how I can achieve the same thing using the stock rom?
Thanks for all your help.
I was wondering if there was a way to do this. You wake up your phone, it's locked. You hold the sleep button and the phone goes straight to the home screen.
Or even better, you wake the phone up by holding the sleep button and the phone idles on the lock screen for a second and then jumps to the home screen (similar to iPhone's new fingerprint scanner, but without the scanner). Maybe the lock screen can have a fake pin lock to mislead people using my phone.
I've been waiting for this for years but I don't think anyone's developed it. Would there be a way I could do it with Tasker? Or maybe there's something on xda that I can download for it to work? I am rooted with a Note 3.
Also, if there are any other revolutionary new lockscreen's out there, let me know! I'm not into the whole typing a password to unlock because everyone sees the password anyway. Plus it's tedious. Any ideas?
Hi
i got this simple question :
in kitkat, i had the pattern lockscreen as soon as it opened.

Me too, it's so annoying!
Can't see anywhere in the settings to turn it off.
I was trying different lock screen settings apks on my G3 and like a dummy I forgot to make a backup of the original. Does anyone have the apk that I can install to get it back to normal? I'm running Lollipop 5.0.1. I was trying things to see if I could get the weather effects back on my lock screen and the different lock screen unlock effects that I had before. Sadly, nothing has worked. Please help me. Thanks in advance.
