HEllo, i have Reddmi note 4 global
With Lineage 14.1 + Franco KERNEL + MAGISK.v16
make ALL the WIPES BUT the unlock pattern he keeps asking me when turning on the device or in TWRP.
also my name appears...
What happens if tomorrow I want to sell it? I should give this information to the buyer..
I would like to remove this pattern forever, every time the device is started, and I even ask for it in the TWRP.
it's possible?
Try formatting the data partition. Format - not wipe.
PS: this will also wipe all data on your internal memory - so you had better have all that data backed up.

Hi, thanks to both, I managed to fix it, re-activating the fingerprint and disabling the start option. Then I turned it off again.
You have to remove the safe startup option.
Greetings and thanks.

Okey, my problem is this.
I have installed the phone locator beta from their website. Like the name says it's an app to see where your phone is if it gets stolen, wipe it through sms and do some other stuff. I did not manage to finish the application setup cause I got a phone call during the process. After that I'm locked out of the phone and the phone screen keeps shutting down. It instantly shuts back down after I turn it on. It stays on for like half a sec sometimes, sometimes less. I have managed to uninstall the application through adb to no avail. I have made a backup through recovery also hoping I will be able to restore it without getting the same problem.
But it appears that if I restore the data I get the same thing happening.
Other things I have tried:
Reflashing ROM. It's the stock one from Vodafone.
Reflashing CF-Root Kernel.
Trying to figure out which process I have to kill through adb. But I'm not experienced enough with this to do it.
Trying to remove everything about the app I find out. Still did not work.
Anyone has another idea. I really had a lot of data I don't want to lose.
Thank you.
Update: Solved in post 3.

What I would do is enter recovery mode. From there mount usb storage and transfer everything that's important to PC. Then wipe everything, format system, format sd card and reflash a ROM through CWM. Obviously mount again usb storage to push the ROM from PC to sd card. Maybe it's a little drastic but I can't think of anything else since I'm not a pro user or anything. Well, just an idea.
Hey thomas. Thanks a lot.
I think that's a great idea. At least it's something I did not try and might work well.
I just found out that you can enter usb storage from recovery, right now it seems I can only see the /mnt/sdcard partition. I will play with it a little to see if I can mount the other partitions before mounting USB. I think the application data is in /data/data am I right?
Okey I have managed to fixed it in the most stupid way possible.
I have noticed that if I leave the screen off for like 15 seconds then I get like 2 seconds window before the screen turns off again. I have managed to go to the screen timeout settings and it seems like the application changed that to a very low value as none of the defaults value were ticked. I have ticked the 1 minute value and now the screen stays on.
I have uninstalled the app and I'm really afraid to test it again I should probably make another backup in this state
Hey guys, i have installed a unofficial Cyanogenmod 11 kitkat 4.4 custom rom and i am very satisfied with it.
But today i was just messing around the lock screen options and i choosed a 6x6 pattern and applied it. But unfortunately after an hour or so i realized that i totally forgot the pattern i choosed. And now when i write the pattern 5 times wrong, it just locks for 30 seconds and i can try again but i cant reset it with my Gmail or anything like that, it just keeps locking for 30 seconds after 5 wrong attemps. Would re-installing the rom remove the lock screen? Or maybe a factory reset? Or can i just remove the pattern in any way? Any help would be appreciated!

You can always do a factory data rest and lsoe all your settings and installed apps.
Haven't experienced this before but a quick search led me here: http://null-byte.wonderhowto.com/ho...u-bypass-android-pattern-lock-screen-0138807/
Worth a try.
In the stock rom when you forget your pattern you can unlock via google account but unfortunately cyanogenmod doesn't have this feature, i also tried the command prompt solution but it didn't work, i got errors like "cant path to xx" or cant delete gesture.key because it doesn't exist, but anyway the factory reset did the job. Thank you guys!
A solution that worked for me
Well, I've logged into Google play, got into "device manager" and then selected "lock".
Essentially, it asked me to define a new password, and shortly afterwards ( probably after the push notification was sent) I was able to unlock with the new password.
hey guys please help me,
I got an Xperia Z from my Friend rooted and all that. he wants to lock that someone can wipe his system, so i flashed him twrp and locked it with an Password theme, whichs is working.
Problem is although it asks for an password if you boot into the recovery directly, it still wipes if i reset the phone with my normal settings.
can someone please tellme how can i rmove or disable or hide the Backup and Reset Tab in the Settings of the Xperia??
Thanks in Advance tho
You can set up a passcode/PIN/Pattern/etc to stop access to the Settings app itself, but have never seen a way to hide 1 specific thing in the Settings. If the phone is encrypted with a password, I think it requires the code before resetting, but am not 100% sure of that.
Hi there
Got a strange problem. I'm on PureX and I'd like to encrypt my phone for some important reasons.
I tried to encrypt my phone. I went into settings --> Security --> Encrypt phone.
The first thing which made me to think was that it didn't ask me for password to decrypt.
The second thing after reboot got strange screen in German which I didn't read becoz I didn't have time to that, clicked OK.
And... My phone wiped. Everything was wiped.
Does anyone know what am I doing wrong?
Hi all, I'm experiencing a strange issue but very annoying and I hope that I can find some help with the expert out there. I installed a MIUI 11 based rom and everything was almost perfect. I had to encrypt my phone because it's a company phone and they want encrypted phones. When I was prompted to to so I've followed few indication and the phone restarted and it stayed for ages with the boot logo apparently doing nothing...there was no signal of life but maybe it was just encrypting in the background and I didn't know...other times I encrypted my data I could see a timer but not this time. Well, as a matter of fact I've force restarted the phone and from that moment on all my problems started. After few seconds of bootlogo a message errore popped up saying that I had interrupted the encryption process and that I would have needed a factory reset to restart phone...and so I did...but no way, the same message was always appearing...tried also a full format, factory reset, repairing file system...NO WAY! still the same message. I was panicking...then I've decided to install an AOSP based rom and BOOM, the phone booted up and I had my phone again...Then, proud of this success, I've decided to retry installing MIUI 11; so I made a clean flash (formatting data including internal storage) and, WTF, after few seconds the same [email protected]#@#ing errore message that I had interrupted the encryption process and that I should have made a factory reset, that obviously didn't worked, exactly like the first time.
So, forgive my looong message, but what the hell is going on here??? How is possible that this stupid error message survives to all the full wipe I made including internal storage??? how the hell can I get rid of it? It seems I can't install any of the MIUI rom...tried a couple but same result...
please help...I very much prefer MIUI11 than any other AOSP or similar ROM...
thx

twrp ,Mount vendor, wipe vendor system data internal.
Try to flash latest vendor only first , then flash the whole rom.
This might help bcuz vendor makes phone encrypt itself.
