Because there is no fingerprint sensor (argh! really?) I now need to use a PIN to unlock.
For some reason the PIN keypad on the lockscreen is so small! Makes it hard to easily type in the PIN for me.
Is there any way to make this keypad larger? The screen is so big and the keypad is about the size of the one on my phone!
Thanks for any ideas.
A very good question!
Did you ever find a way?
I have a Note9, so i take out the stylus to type the code when i need to unlock but that is a pain in the butt!

Hi there,
I was wondering If anyone out there knows of an apps to locks the phone. Im new on this and what I'm looking for is something to replace the unlock swipe screen that came with the phone. I want something like a numeric keypad as a lock / unlock application.

thanks
Do you want a different option for a pattern lock?
I searched and didn't find anything. My brother has a numeric lock for his Nexus, but that's a CM feature.
I don't think they're out yet. If you find one in the market chances they won't work because of TouchWiz and you would have to be rooted.
Thanks for your quick response to my question.I am kind of new on this and yes what I want is a numeric keypad instead of a pattern.
once again thank you !!
just want to confirm whether it's possible to make the pattern unlock screen a bit bigger? like with out the unlock screen date and time widget. it does take space off from the screen a bit making the pattern unlock a bit small.
it would be really great if it would be possible to resize to like how it shows on the attachment with the emergency call button below it.
just only want to know if it's possible
I have looked all over the internet and all through XDA and I have either not seen it or it isn't there. I am currently running NOVENA on my i717 and I am using the PIN lock. I really liked on other ROMs how I could just type the password and it would automatically unlock. I was wondering if this was a mod that I could put on the phone myself or what I need to do!
Sorry about another Quick Pin Unlock to the series of questions. :laugh:
you mean to tell me that adding an extra click by pressing the OK button after entering your PIN is such a hassle that it warrant a new MOD ??
Think of it as an extra character ... ie. instead of my usual 8 characters... I now have 9... etc
that was hard !!
I wasn't saying at all that its any hard work or anything, because obviously hitting one extra button isn't that hard. I just liked that if you entered it correctly it would just unlock. Personal preference is all. :good:
This option would allow much easier single handed operation(for right-handers at least) due to the OK placement.
I am enjoying the use of SwiftKey Flow but have a question regarding the lock screen. Instead of the normal number keypad, I get a larger keypad that includes parentheses, commas and other keys that I do not need. Am I missing a simple setting to change the keyboard back to a standard numerical keyboard when I want to enter a PIN? Thanks.

I believe this was by Swiftkey design, I myself do not like it either, the numbers are too small, up on their website where you vote for changes, one of the ones in there is to remove the lock screen portion. A lot of people don't like it.

Yes, I discovered this today. Very annoying on the HTC ONE. I think they are using some sort of calculator key layout since it does not just have numbers, but adds operations and parens. I voted for two items on the Swiftkey site related to this issue. I think I will have to turn off Swiftkey until they fix this.
So I enabled a PIN lockscreen to add a little security to my Z3 Compact but it resulted in the device becoming far more secure than I intended. The pin I chose was simply "1234" input with the standard english qwerty keyboard on the device, when I try to unlock the phone using the numerical keypad on the lockscreen however it tells me that the pin is incorrect. I'm currently locked out of my phone and don't know what I can do besides resetting back to factory state, which I don't particularly want to do! Any help would be much appreciated!
