Is there anyway to bypass the lockscreen security when launching certain apps from the lockscreen in CM10? I believe this is possible as I was able to go directly into the camera from the lockscreen on Sense based ROMs, then you are prompted for pin/pattern/pass as soon as you try to leave the camera app. I would love be able to launch the Camera or even Google Now without having to unlock my phone, seems to me that defeats the whole point of the quick access.

Is there any possibility to see screen with pattern request just after I turn on screen? Because now the first thing I have to do is to pull ring to the center of screen and only after that i can finally draw pattern.
Can I somehow skip the screen with the ring?
I'll be appreciate for any solution
Could you specify on what ROM are you?
Is the lockscreen stock or through 3rd party application - like GoLocker or widgetlocker?
I'm on CM9 and I go to System settings->LockScreen->Screen Security->Screen Lock->Pattern - draw pattern and that is it.
Of course I could
Now I'm on Android Revolution HD 6.6.7 and I don't use any of 3rd party app. I have stock lockscreen (Sense 3.6)
today I do not have access to Sense based device.
I will check tomorrow (will have access to 3 different Sense based devices), but I'm guessing that this could be Sense limitation, as on the lock screen you have dock with icons for quick access... could be, if have lock screen without them, then pattern would be brought up instantly...
BTW, you can check it by yourself right now
If I don't use lock screen shortcuts pattern request still don't brought instantly but thanks for trying to help

seems that it is not possible on Sense ROMs
Hi,
My phone should be secured with a lock screen (with PIN code), but I would like it if I can unlock certain apps (like camera or games I play) without having to enter the same PIN. To clarify: I should have a lock screen where if I press the camera icon it immediately goes to my camera app (without asking for a PIN), while if I use any other way of unlocking it should ask me for my code.
Googled a lot, but can't find such a lockscreen replacement and my S3 doesn't have such a function. If you do not know of such an application, is there a mod wich has this functionality?
Any help would be deeply appreciated!
On my other devices (which run AOSP kitkat roms), I can access my camera with my pattern lock still enabled. All I do is swipe the pattern to the left, and the camera UI opens. It allows me to take new photos, and review them, but doesn't allow me to access any photos that were taken before the screen locked (i.e. it's not a backdoor to get past the lock and look at all my pictures). I always loved this functionality.
On my vzw M8, I cannot replicate this functionality. If I swipe in the same way, I just get a blank page where a widget can be added. Looking through the available widget options, I don't see anything for the camera. I even installed Google Camera just to see if that would make any difference, but no.
I know that the M8's gesture functionality allows something very similar (long-press vol-down while screen is off to launch directly into camera). I'd love to use this, but the gestures are all-or-none. Since I find the other gestures problematic (double-tap to wake, for example), I have all my gestures disabled.
So is there currently a way to replicate the AOSP locked-camera functionality on this device? Or do I simply have to wait for an AOSP rom?
For what it's worth, I'm running Skyfall 1.3
EDIT - story of my life... I figure something out just a few seconds after asking a question, even though I've been trying to figure it out for days.
Turns out I can swipe down (i.e. to hide the pattern lock), which causes the camera icon to appear at the lower-right corner. Then I just need to swipe up on that icon.
Nice work, Byron
Never mind. Didn't read your post close enough I guess. I see you know about the gestures.
One of the few things I like about iPhone is its integration of lockscreen and camera.
On an iPhone, I can swipe up on the lockscreen to open camera. I can also view photos that are taken during that session without unlocking the phone.
On CM13, I can also swipe up on the lockscreen to open camera, but I have to unlock the phone in order to access the gallery. What's worse is that if I keep the gallery opened when I lock the phone, I can no longer access the camera from lockscreen. When I swipe up the camera shortcut, the lockscreen will get stuck (i.e. no shortcut, no unlock pattern), and I have to turn the screen off and on again to unlock.
I think some brands actually implement lockscreen camera in the same way as iOS. I wonder if I can achieve the same on CM13.
Upgraded my Redmi Note 3 from MiUI lollipop 5.1.1 to SIimROM Nougat 7.1.2. My phone is rooted with Magisk & also has systemless xposed.
First, I want to disable quick settings pull down from the lock screen. I'm able to use every toggle on my quick settings screen without the PIN code. Wouldn't want to allow that without the PIN. Gravitybox Nougat doesn't seem to have an option to disable that.
Second, on MiUI, whenever an app accessed my location, I also got a notification that displayed which app was using location. This doesn't seem to be the case on AOSP Nougat, all I get is a location icon in the status bar, but have no idea which app is accessing my location. That isn't of much use, is there is a root app or an xposed module that can display which app is accessing my location?
Third, the max volume on my ROM seems to be too low, I can't hear most YouTube videos I watch without keeping the phone very close to my face. Which mod would be the best to increase system volume? I don't care about other equalizer settings & all that, just want a way to increase max system volume.
Fourth, when I first setup a lock screen on my ROM, it seems to have encrypted my phone. But when I turned On accessibility service of an app, I no longer see the secure PIN screen that was asked before at boot. Some searching made me realize that turning On accessibility disables encryption, don't know why this is the case. 4 of my apps need the accessibility service to do their tasks, is there no way to have the accessibility service enabled while also keeping the phone encrypted? There must be some workaround....
