I'd like to add a second lockscreen that should appear immediately after my phone is unlocked that displays a custom security question that must be answer correctly before the user can go to the homescreen and fully unlock the phone. Could someone please point me in the right direction in terms of how to go about doing this. I've googled and inquired on the android stackoverflow to no avail.

From the online articles and the encryption description i was left with the impression that i will need to enter the password only on boot.
Well appears that once encrypted the only active unlock options become, face unlock, pin and password.
All take too long for my daily use, and since you don't have to use the encryption password for unlocking (the phone is decrypted on boot) but other options like face unlock, why we can't unlock with the normal slider screen or at least pattern unlock?
Is there a way to go around it and enable the slider unlock on an encrypted phone?
p.s.
i know that decreases the security, but knowing that if i lose my phone, chances are the battery will die before someone digs into it, and they will need to decrypt it then.... is enough for my needs.
what version of the os is it? and yes you can change it. you have to go into settings >>security>> and should give you the option to change it. you just have to disable encryption. worst comes to worst...FACTORY RESET
the idea is to change it and still be encrypted...
it's 4.1.1
I guess encryption is not that popular among android users?

Hi.
Before my question I'll write about my experience because I am sure it will help many many people.
As many of you, I always ROOT my smartphones.
Nowadays, the new phones, they come with this new technology to avoid root and other things called " OEM Lock " under the Developer's Options.
Following every step provided in the root guide for you phone, the new step to enable OEM Unlock under Developer Options
is a must!
The only thing that they don't say is that you MUST leave OEM Unlock ALWAYS ENABLED during and AFTER the root, and not only during the root
process.
Not knowing that, what did I do? Right After rooting my Samsung Note 5 I disabled the OEM Unlock. When I restarted the smartphone, it got into something called FAP Protection Black Screen where you are not able to leave not even if you try to root the phone again with the img file!
If you get in the FAP Protection Screen, like I did, despair will take over, I promise! And Google will not help you!
Is there a solution?
I found one, but not in any Google Page.
You need to download the firware img file for your phone, exactly same model,
in my case it was SM-N920G (Samsung Note 5), and for your specific country. Luckily for my phone it was not so hard to find, just hard to download (1,7GB with average 15 kB/s speed!). You will find different versions, some related to a Phone Company Operator that your country has, other related to no operator at all (sure I chose that).
After you get the firware file, just use Odin with that file to flash the phone, just like how you did to root the phone, but now, instead of using the root img file with Odin Software, you'll use the firmware file. That will not only solve the problem and give you access to your phone again, but in my case the Operator Flag disappeared and the data and apps installed miraculously were intact! I was pretty sure I was supposed to lose everything, but that didn't happen!
I'm sure what I wrote above will help many desperate people out there!
Now, my main question here:
You can never disable OEM Unlock in your life, with a rooted phone, period! So, it's really dangerous to leave the developer options enabled, allowing anyone that uses the phone to change it, even if by accident. In my case, as another example, besides rooting my phone, I rooted my father's phone too (because it was previously mine). I'd like to avoid by any means that by any chance me, or my father, disable to the OEM Unlock.
So, my question:
If I disable the Developer Option in order to "hide" it, will the changes that I did inside it remain working perfectly? I'm afraid that if I disable the developer options, somehow, it might take every option inside it back to the "default", just like it was before I enabled the developer Options, meaning in this case, OEM Unlock would get DISABLED again!
Is it safe to disable the Developer Options when OEM Unlock is Enable and MUST Remain like that?
Thank you.
Lost a night of sleep for the same problem with a Samsung S8.
This should be added to *every* mod guide.
In my case was worse too...if you root the phone and wipe data, when you open first time developer option you'll find "OEM Unlock" disabled (but I assume it's enabled at bootloader level). So when I check / uncheck it I doom my phone to lock on next restart...
how to get to boot menu on htc u12 plus, smallest width setting got adjusted wrong in developer options and power got cycled, all I can see on lock screen are 1,2 and 3 cant unlock, any ideas?
Hello, my device (Redmi Note 8T, MIUI 11) has recently stopped accepting the pattern lock I set up when I got it first and I'm trying to bypass the lock screen. The problem lies in that I haven't got USB debugging activated nor Google's Find My Device. I'm almost sure I haven't forgotten the pattern, but I've tried multiple patterns similar to the one I remember. Is there a way of unlocking the bootloader or booting into TWRP without having to access to the phone's settings? I've been thinking of flashing Aroma File Manager and remove the system's files for the lock from there but I haven't found how to do it without unlocking the bootloader. Is the only way of doing this restoring the phone completely? I'm almost a complete beginner in Android modding and I appreciate any extra help, thank you.
I'm not a native English speaker so I'm sorry if I have committed any mistakes in my writing.

Why are you so impatient? Keep in mind that this forum isn't a 24/7 service you've paid for.
Anyway try this
Step 1: Log into the Google account synced on device in question by following this link: https://myaccount.google.com/.
Step 2: Visit Device activity & notifications. This should be available under Sign-in & security.
Step 3: Under Recently used devices, tap on Review devices.
Step 4: Select the device whose FRP lock you would like to disable. Next, click the red Remove button to disable FRP lock. Confirm the action on the pop-up.

When I try to do it with my dad's phone, I think he was not logged in gmail since day 18 September.
There is any other way to bypass lockscreen?? We could pay something if it's needed.
I've been trying codes since 1999 to 1970 (typical codes) , but now I only can to write 1 code every 2h
