[Q] Pyr-O-Ice 1.1.3, Security lock

I would have posted this in that one help thread for pyroice, but it's about a month since anyone used it...
I just have a quick question. Since i believe 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 when i press the back button to wake it up, it now goes straight to the pattern unlock.
This used to happen with the menu button wake, and back would go to the slide to camera or pattern. Basically, now i don't have that basic lockscreen at all, whichever way i wake up the device.
any thoughts?
thanks!

Its just how it is. Menu/Back is a instant unlock. Using Menu when the phone is locked unlocks it(If screens on). I belive using the Lock Button will unlock to the Ring. But basic lockscreen is lost when using any protection. Just how ICS is.

That's how Android has always been.

Interesting... i just could have sworn that back in an earlier version of 1.1 i could press the back button, then slide and it would ask me for my pattern. regardless, thank you!

The menu button unlock was taken out in 113 on purpose. Phone would unlock in your pocket.

Home screen button needs to be reprogrammed

I've been on a variety of roms and I believe I was on liquid smooth or blackbean (both 4.1 versions) and changed the home button to unlock the phone and on home page to open the camera. Now im on synergy 147 and the home key functions have carried over after a clean flash. I don't want the home key to turn the screen on, I wouldn't mind it opening the camera when unlocked but being it's trying to open the aosp camera it just says application not installed. I can't remember what rom I was on when I changed the settings so I can't just rehash it and change them back. Can anyone tell me how to remap the home key duo that it does not turn the screen on and so it will open the stock tw camera or not do anything (single press while on home page) without switching roms? Or if not what rom I can flash to change these options back at least. I don't know why it carried over from a clean flash
Edit: forget the camera part I realized that was part of nova launcher from when I restored my backup homescreen, but still can't figure out how to get the home button to not wake the phone although I'm prob still missing something stupid to fix it

Can the lock screen app shortcuts be changed?

Does anyone know how to change which apps are shortcuts on the lock screen? Currently, I can drag the lock ring right to unlock, up for phone, left for camera, and down for text messaging. I'd like to replace the down shortcut with Google Voice.
I am running the JB soak test with root.
Thank you!

I asked the same question at androidforums in the Photon Q section there. From the answers I received (or lack thereof), my guess is that they can't be changed without changing the lock screen altogether. Apps like GoLocker (which I believe requires GoLauncher EX also be installed) or WidgetLocker (a paid app) will do the trick, but if there is a way to do it with an out-of-the-box phone, I have yet to find it.

Since I'm here, I'm wondering, does the Photon Q have the ability to turnt he lock screen off? as in, you can set the phone's home screen or whatever you were last doing to come up when you hit the power button to turn the screen back on, instead fo going tot he lock screen. I would assume that ability is retained, but since Moto apparently changed the lock screen, I wonder if they removed that function thoughtlessly, as some are known to do.

yes you can set the phone up in JB to have no lock screen. Hit power button and return to last screen viewed.:good:

Lockscreen not showing on power button press*?

Hello,
After a few days of using the phone, I installed Lightning Launcher and set it as default. I got some bugs with the lockscreen (i'll explain later) so I reverted back to the Xperia original launcher.
Now, after not using LL, I still have that same issue. I'm pretty sure it hasn't anything to do with LL or anything, but I prefer mentionning it just in case.
(tl;dr)
Whenever I press power button, it is supposed to immediately scan the fingerprint. It doesn't anymore and instead of the normal lockscreen I have a completely blank screen, only with Back and Home button.
Finger is not scanned, I can't swipe in any direction BUT, if I press the Home button, lockscreen shows up (it slides from the left side), as if I already swiped to the right.
That's pretty annoying when the purpose of fingerprint scan is to immediately unlock
Got any idea ? Somebody has the same problem maybe ?
EDIT:
Okay my bad. I uninstalled LL completely and the problem didn't show up anymore. I reinstalled because I remembered it can also be used as a lockscreen, and i disabled that in its settings. I'll check if problem continues but if not, I'll come back to inform about it.

Camera bypasses security

when you activate the camera on a locked phone and hit the back button it takes you to the home screen without asking for pin or fingerprint. Anyone can reproduce the issue?

Not mine, back to lockscreen.
Using full screen gestures, no physical buttons.

I also get sent back to the lockscreen

Have you updated to the latest firmware? I'm also running Nova launcher if it changes anything. It takes me back to the last used screen not to the home screen.

Also not working for me
EDIT: I'm using stock launcher with google feed. Might be nova launcher then

do u use smart lock?

On body detection and voice. No location or devices.

I've just disabled the body detection and it solved the issue.
