I like to keep my phone locked, but it would be nice to be able to skip right to the camera app by pressing the shutter button. Anyone know of a way to set that up while leaving all non-camera apps in a locked mode? I realize i could also leave the main lock unlocked and use an app locker like Seal, but the ones i've looked at don't have an option to unlock all locked apps for a period of time after entering a passcode, which makes using apps cumbersome.
Your device should already do this as default behavior...?

You have to hold it down. I wasn't aware of this until Blue pointed it out to me.
I think he means when you have a pattern lock. He wants to be able to go straight to the camera with out having to put in his pattern, but still have to use the pattern to unlock the rest of the phone..I want to do this too.

Okay, yep, you are right - I was responding as I was waking up and making some coffee, didn't pick up on that.
Not sure how to make this work, other then re-writing the passcode part of the system to have an exception for the camera.

Exactly.
Or if I could find an app locker that can remember an overall unlocked state for all apps for given amount of time.

are you talking about settings, security, lock phone after,(then you choose how long you want the phone to stay unlock)?

No, I'm looking for an app locker that would let me globally unlock any locked apps for a period of time once I unlocked one.
Any Rom not based off the Stock DS Rom losses that awesome trick. Roms using HTC Sense can have the camera asigned to a quick launch. ICS is a slide to the left with the unlock ring.

Those options don't bypass a pattern or passcode lock, which is what i'm asking about.

Is there any way I can bypass the 'rung unlock' procedure on my Sensation? Once I've unlocked by pulling up the ring, I then use the pattern unlock (to safeguard my phone) - so I almost feel as though I'm unlocking twice!
Also, after the phone goes to sleep after timing out, is there an alternative to pressing the power button at the top to awaken it? My power button is stiff under my gel phone case, so it's sometimes difficult to wake the phone up again. Something on the screen would be ideal.
Thanks in advance guys.
All this features are available on CM rom, hopefully it won't take long before we see functional build, it's impossible on sense rom to use this advanced things...
As a new Sensation user, I would also like to see the ring removed. It'd be better if I didn't have a PIN security screen, but I do, which means it takes longer to get into the phone.
You can install an application named Battery Indicator which has an option named disable lock screen.
Very basic, but it works.

Thanks for the help - I haven't (and would rather not) try a pirated version.
I tried a few free apps yesterday that said they'd do the same thing, however they removed not only the ring screen but also my PIN lock screen. Does the app you suggest only remove the ring screen? If so, I'll buy it.

I'm not sure if I get your point, but you may try the pirated edition, and if you like it, uninstall it and buy it
You won't loose anything doing so
But I think it removes the PIN screen too :/

How come the notification bar is accessible while the phone is on the lock screen? Is this part of ICS or something HTC did? I am using stock lock screen with no password. Any way to disable this?
The notification pane is available when the phone is locked, but not while it is locked and secured. If you want to stop this, put a pin/pattern lock on (which you should have anyway...)
This is a feature of ICS.
This is about the 12th Android phone I have had.. the other 11 did not allow pulling down of the notification pane when on the lock screen, whether there was a security pin or not.
Thanks mesasone, thats what I needed to know.
A nice feature, at that. Recently noticed it myself. Running ICS AOKP on my old old Evo. Will be getting a one x variant (Evo 4g lte on sprint) in about 2wks (release day).

It's an ICS feature.
Can this "feature" be diabled. My phone keeps on getting unlocked and changing settings while in my pocket but I don't want to have a pin?

The above link is dead when I tried it last.
Has this Question been answered. I am having the same problem. I do not want a PIN or Dots, only the "Swipe" while locked. And while Docked, the Volume Buttons, and the Notification Bar can be dealt with, which allows accidental settings to be changed on the Lock screen.
I have found "Volume Locker" to control the volume, to always have it set to High no matter the volume keys inputs, and now am looking to disable the notification bar while on the Lock Screen.
Any help would be great, how is this not an option inside of Sense.
My beloved HTC HD2 is dying, so I ordered a new, no-contract phone. The Samsung Galaxy 2 4G seemed the best of the available options.
I've tried, repeatedly, to adjust "location and security" settings for "set screen lock" to NONE; however, it just won't take. I've tried setting a code, which does set, and then telling it none, but every time I turn on the phone, it wants me to swipe the screen to get to my apps.
Is this stupid thing part of Gingerbread? Part of Samsung? Fixable? (How, please?) Or am I stuck with it?

Bummer.
Thanks much, though.
Use either free NoLock from market (a little glitchy) or Delayed Lock (paid but more reliable.)
I'm fairly sure that in CM7 you're able to bypass the lock screen via settings. I can't remember exactly, and I'm on CM9, so I can't go and check.

Factory reset its an option too (of course you will lost data but use this as your last option)
don't think factory reset will work... everyone has to swipe the screen to get to the homescreen.

i used the elixir widget
search for it on the gplay store
Look up ScreenModeWidget (all one word) in the app store . very simple
I have it in the apps list.
But in settings / security / screen unlock there is no selection like "face unlock".
Do I miss something, how do I use that?

I don't think the TF700 supports face unlock. Don't know why. Sorry. I haven't found any app for it either on stock, or am I just using my shortcuts too much? Mmmmh, should give the app list some TLC, I guess...
It was running on mine fine. I even showed it to my wife. She was impressed.

I thought I saw that too, but Face Unlock is no way to be found now, so where is it?
Not much of a loss, it's easily deceived, even by a printed picture of yourself.
Maybe they are waiting for the updated face detection. It waits for you to blink your eyes before it actually let's you in. Its suppose to be a work around for the picture thing.

I want to use fingerprint scanner without having to also input the pin code. Is this possible?
It is only when you reboot, and haven't seen a mod like that for the lat two phones.

Under security you can change it so you don't have to type pin in when you boot phone up

Correct. I want to use the fingerprint security without having to use the pin.
It seems to me that the fingerprint scanner is rather useless if you still have to use your pin, or pattern.

This is only after a reboot, there you have to type your pin one time, I afterwards just the fingerprint.
For the complete use if fingerprint you have to wait for a custom rom that has is built in.
If also noticed that after a certain amount of time you have to type pin in I remember seeing it saying something along the lines of you could stop pin after reboot but I think that might have been the s8+ I don't have to type pin in if I turn off the u11
.
My fingerprint scanner works fine and I only need to use the pin on reboot.
I however also use Extended Controls and have a Lock button on there. When I use that I have to put in my pin with my fingerprint.
I think its something to do with the way the apps "lock" the phone as I believe other people with other phones have a similar issue as well.
When the phone locks itself or if I push the power button to lock it, fingerprint works fine by itself.

I now have that mod in my ROM
So, after reading a little more online, it appears that Android's unlocking with fingerprint only will NOT tolerate any other app input. I may have to give up on my beloved AC Display app, which would display notifications briefly. I also use Gravity Screen app, but it has a setting that (hopefully) makes it more compatible. I've never rooted a phone before, and I'm not thrilled with starting now, given the hassles of OTA updates, etc.
We'll see what happens . . .

Revoke admin right to nova launcher.
Also in nova advanced settings choose timeout lock instead of root method.

I know this but it take 5~10 seconds to really turn off screen because of Android security.
During these seconds... If you touch soft buttons screen turns on.
Very annoying

Yes, with this program it will take 5 seconds to fully turn off the screen.
...and I confirm you have to be careful with home and multitasking buttons, but with time you will get accustomed to.
This is the 1st smartphone I am keeping full stock (messing with them since HTC Windows mobile devices) and as of now this is the best program I have found...
I am missing long press home button to turn off the screen, like OnePlus devices
