Hi!
My Nexus 5 is running CM11 and the only lock screen security settings that work are "None" or "Slide". When I select "Pattern", "PIN" or "Password", I can set these, but after confirming them, the entry under "Screen lock" stays on "None" or "Slide", whichever was selected before. And when I lock the screen, I can unlock it by sliding or simply by pushing the power button.
The strange thing is that when I want to change the security settings again, the phone prompts me to enter the selected pattern/PIN/password, so it is stored somewhere. If I enter that correctly, I can change the settings again, but the results are the same.
I am running the latest nightly build, but the problem has occured for at least three months on every build I tried to change the setting. I've never used a different kernel or messed with the system by using xposed or something like that. Has anybody got an idea, where I could find the solution?
Regards,

I am using windows 6.5 which has this 'iphone' type slide to unlock, but it only goes on if i lock it through the start menu. On my stock telus rom it auto locked and had you tap 'unlock' and confirm, which was annoying but turns out useful. In my pocket my phone now seems to like to call people and take pictures, so I'm forced to lock it, which is fine, but i wish it would auto lock everytime i put it into standby, is there a way to do this, but not the pin # lock, the slide the bar lock screen?

There is a setting in the S2U2 that will enable the lock when the backlight goes off... also you can edit the registry so that the autolock will come up like it did on 6.1.
I assume you like the wm6.5 automatic lock when suspend. If that is the case download smart lock
http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2009/06...-of-your-default-windows-mobile-6-5-lock.html
and set the setting wm6.5 lock and and suspend lock. after configured, hold end key for 10 seconds to activate it first time.

I installed the cab, but i dont see the application anywhere, its not in my list of apps, nor can i find it through file explorer...any help?
If you installed Smart Lock it will show up in Settings>System>Smart Lock. I know took me a while before I figured that one.
i got it. but it never does anything...
goto the registry and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 1... that will enable the windows lock when you press the button at the top of the phone.
It is located at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd
Make sure your reset your phone after you make the change.
sorry, I'm new to WinMo, what's a program I can use to edit my registry
Resco file explorer has a great reg editor!

Hi AstronusX
Do you know where else smartlock can be downloaded from, mirrors perhaps?
The link posted wont allow me to download for some reason.
I got smartlock also and edited the registry settings but still nothing happens. Any ideas?
Map the top key to launch DeviceLock.exe in the Windows folder using this program:

It will still retain the screen shutoff function, but will also activate the lock.

I just installed smartlock without registry edit, and it works fine on my HD2.
(Only changed the settings in program itself). Maybe the combination the problem

Hi guys.
After having installed the removal of the lockscreen and uninstalled this on again i cannot find a way to lock my mobile. I tried the editing of H_x_x something, but this does not work. How to get it back to lockmode?
Can i add some app that can lock it?
I hope this is not somewhere else on the forum, i searched for it, but havent found anything. Im annoyed of my mobile calling random people from time to time...
Thanks

1) Go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 1

I will try that, but since it is already on 1, i guess it is pointless.
I was wondering whether there has been made an "app" that could tap to lock your device.?

My lock screen was gone to. I copied the manilla files of the original lockscreen before i relaced it.
Maybe this works.
Tap to lock you're device i used this. You can choose between: Sleep, Reset Or shutdown.

I have had this previously. Set it to 0, soft reset, set it back to 1 then soft reset again. It should now work.
I had this problem. Keep your finger on the power button until you are asked whether to lock, or shut down, select lock. After that your lock screen should work again.
Hi,
I would have posted this in the development forum in the appropriate thread, but I'm prevented from doing so due to silly forum rules.
Im using the CM9 nightly on my I9023, currently the 20120609 build. These nightlies have the custom lock screen which I would love to use with my own shortcuts.
Unfortunately, due to corporate rules I need to have the password lock enabled, which until recently prevented me from using the custom lock screen. But since a week or two the nightlies have a new option "Show widgets before unlock".
Enabling this indeed shows the custom lock screen, but selecting anything other then a direct-dial icon just presents me with a password prompt. If I then type the password I find that the application I had selected, such as the camera is running behind the lock screen.
Is there any way around this such that I can launch applications without typing in the password, such as make a picture?
Another issue is that I only get to use the custom slider lock screen 1 time, after that I immediately get the password prompt each time. Until I type in the password and then lock the phone again. After that I get one more use of the custom slider lock screen.
Honestly you probably don't want to be able to bypass the lock screen by simply tapping a widget or else it would completely defeat the purpose of having a lock screen since anyone who found/stole your phone could simply open an app from the widget then press the home key to get into your phone. I know it doesn't answer your question but I just feel like it's worth mentioning.
Hi,
I'm having many issues with my Blade S6.
Home key stopped working, unable to hold down and switch apps, no notifications appearing. I re downloaded the latest update in hope i would just be able to manually update but it promts "update package is not matching, please checK'
I did a factory reset from the os and recovery and still the same problems exist.
Any suggestions?
Long press on home will start google now, long press on menu button will start recent apps. For update, you are doing something wrong, but we need more info...
Try reading this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3018031 and use it for all questions.
Yes it has previously been working fine with those actions. Also now I can't bring down the toggle bar from swiping down from the top. Also I get no lock screen even though I set a password.
I have attached a screenshot of the update error. Maybe its a build prop error...my blade is from Australia
Hi, few days ago my standard Screen lock type = PIN&Fingerprits changed without my involvement to Swipe&Fingerprits. When I want to change it back to PIN&Fingerprints, it "works" that way that it can be changed in Settings/Lock screen and security, but in reality when I swith off or restart the phone, I can unlock the pohone with Swipe or Fingerprints, no PIN (the same is with Pattern and Password), i.e. only Swipe or Fingerprits is the unlocking way regardless what is set in Settings/Lock screen and security/Screen lock type. All updates incl.security are the latest ones. Any idea what is causing this? Thx
I think when you reboot the phone, it forces you to use a certain unlock method it deems most secure, all subsequent unlocks after that one should be the way you set it
