Can any Llama users advise on how to use Llama to disable pattern lock when I am in "home" area ?
does this require root ?
I added the action "disable screen lock after unlock" when entering "home" area, but the pattern lock is still there.
any other way to achieve this, i just want to keep the pattern lock when outside my safe areas.
thanks
any info from Llama users plz !
seems that using "unlock immediately" option in Llama is working.
the Keyguard unlock option (without notification) through Secure settings also is working.
if notification is on then - when i touch the volume controls while screen is off, then it lights up - which is unnecessary.

i tried and does not work with pattern i think. im N7105 with 4.1.2
i think this is something to do with android o/s.
see this from "unlock with wifi" creator:

Why doesn’t UWW support face unlock, or lock patterns?
A: Because there is no official way to turn off face unlock and lock patterns in Android. It can be done for root users, but UWW does not support root operations at this time.
maybe this will works:

thanks for the info.
if not using the password lock, then the keyguard lock can be disabled by Llama at times.
but with password, it only works rarely.
maybe when i get rooted, then i will try this again.
using llama and Secure Settings, confirmed, the pattern lock will gone when im at home (previously just with llama action, doesnt work). but the no pattern lock stays when im in the office, so maybe need to modify others to use secure settings and enabling pattern lock.
now i want to disable the lockscreen completely, so when i press power mine will go straight to main desktop. i think this is possible too.
I use a numerical pin. To disable it, I use the Llama action "Screen Lock Password" and leave it blank for when I connect to my wifi. I have another event so Llama resets the pin to my desired code when I disconnect from my wifi.

I've had this set up on my phone using Llama for well over a year. It's as simple as installing the Secure Settings plugin and using its "Pattern Lock" action within a Llama event. Mine turns on the pattern lock when I get disconnected from my home Wi-Fi network and turns it back off whenever I am in my "Home" area and am connected to my home Wi-Fi network. (I added the area check just to be sure that someone couldn't easily trick Llama into turning off the pattern lock by setting up a Wi-Fi access point with my home network's SSID.)
I am pretty sure that you need to be rooted, though, because toggling the pattern lock is a privileged action. Whenever Secure Settings toggles my pattern lock, I get a "toast" notification saying root privileges were granted to Secure Settings.

that was good tip and it worked with secure setting with locale plugin in llama app
sorry to resurrect this thread (better than posting new i think).
yes i can disable pattern lock (havent try other lock method, i like pattern) when i am connected to home wifi.
but i still need to "swipe" the first screen to go into main desktop screen. is there a way to by pass the first "lock" screen (it says in the bottom "swipe screen to unlock")
using N9005 with Phonesis rom, rooted, at 5.1.1
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!
I'm sure there are a few of you that share annoyance about this. Here's an entire AOSP issue tracker devoted to it: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79889
I use an NFC implant to unlock my phone. It worked beautifully on 4.4.4 with Xposed. Lollipop brings NFC unlock with smart unlock, but after scanning an authenticated tag, you are presented with an additional keyguard that you then have to swipe. Even if you're simply using pattern unlock, you have to hit that little arrow at the bottom of the keyguard before you're presented with the pattern grid. Unlocking requires an extra swipe. Stupid.
With Secure Settings/Tasker, disabling keyguard/pattern causes the "Black Screen of Death" which renders the phone useless until reboot. As a result, I've stayed on KitKat.
Can a developer implement settings to disable that keyguard conmpletely? So if you're using standard PIN or pattern you're presented with the pin input or pattern grid immediately, or in my case, once the NFC tag is scanned it brings me straight to the homescreen?
Bump. Someone?
Bump
Wanting to implement this as well... xposed module that used to do it on 4.4 no longer works on lollipop
HI guys
I've just encrypted my S5 and enabled the fingerprint lock.
If i use the wrong finger to unlock it 5 times it pops up with an option to “UNLOCK VIA GOOGLE”.
Is there a way to disable this option and just have a option to unlock it with the backup password?
I take it from the lack of replies that this can't be done
Hi,
i'm on OOS 5.1.6 with unlocked bootlader, official TWRP, and root via Magisk, also got xposed and a few modules (greenify being one of them).
Now the noob silly part: how comes that even if i set fingerprint security for lockscreen (with PIN security behind), if i turn off the screen via power button, and then wake it up (after more than 5secs!) with button again, i am presented with a lockscreen with no security and i can simply swipe up the lock icon and enter the phone?
I'm for sure missing something really obvious here, OR one of my modules (GB, Greenify) might interfere with the security?
Just to be clear: fingerprint unlocking WORKS flawlessly, but if i use the button it just shows the small lock icon that i can simply swipe-up.
Thanks!
Maybe you have enabled face unlock?
Do you have smart lock on? Trusted place or similar, smart watch etc. If one of those are on, it will let you unlock just with a swipe.
And the default time for this lock is 5 sec, see the settings icon right of display lock in settings - security
Thanks guys, i had for some reason Smart Lock enabled, and specifically trusted places (Home) taken from Google Maps. I could not disable it (well i could, but it reverted back as active) until i found under 'Trust Agents' Smart Lock (Google) and disabled it.
Weird.
