So I noticed that gesture typing isn't allowed in password fields such as the Android lockscreen password, or other password fields on the internet like those sign-in webpages. I was wondering if there was a way that could enable the use of gesture swiping for passwords?
I'm currently using CM11 nightlies on my OPO, by the way.
It never has been allowed in those kinds of fields, and I don't think you can enable it.

Aside from Dashclock, any other way to get access to notifications?
I'd prefer to have a swipe down gesture ala iOS access to notifications.
Huh? You just swipe down from the top and your notifications are there.
What is this iOS you speak of?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That only works if your lock method is "Slide". If you have any form of password/pattern, then the notification shade is blocked as a security feature.
Speaking of which, if the OP wants that functionality, then either they need to set security to "slide", or if they still want slide notification AND password lock, then it kind of defeats the point...
Besides, dashclock doesn't really show much until you slide downwards to display the full list anyway so it's already sort of along the right lines!
May want to give this a spin; the option for displaying notifications on the lockscreen is pretty handy.

I use LockerPro Lockscreen. Banner notifications are similar to iOS and you can choose to use the banner notifications even while using the phone normally as well, which is cool if you use immersive or expanded desktop mode. Also has ability to add your own shortcuts/apps/widgets and then your whole app drawer as well.
Xposed with "notifcation mod" module does exactly that. Allow you to pull down the notification shade and even respond to the notification if the notification supports it. If the action requires additional user input then the pin screen is presented before the user is allowed to proceed. Works awesome and since it still forces PIN entry, I think very secure. Not private, but secure.

I really missed having Slim's lockscreen feature where you can shake to lock... I don't want to have a passcode on at all times but longer periods of time without my phone, i'd rather have a passcode automatically set.
I'm using PA and I was wondering is there a way to get this feature through something like xposed? if so, what's the module called?
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?

Wanting to implement this as well... xposed module that used to do it on 4.4 no longer works on lollipop
I think this is the right place to post, since it's a security thing, although it's nothing to do with hacking.
When I was on JellyBean (turns head and spits) and SlimKat I used Secure Settings and Tasker to switch the pattern lock on and off depending on my situation (I mean, I had Tasker and SS change all my sound, screen and radios settings at the tap of a scene button). Now that I'm on Lollipop I can't use SS. Is there a way to easily toggle a pattern or PIN lockscreen on and off? The stock lockscreen and 3rd party apps require the pattern or PIN to be reinserted TWICE to enable them. I want an app that remembers it and doesn't require it to be re-entered to enable/disable.

I've found something I can work with. Using shell commands I can emulate touches to activate/deactivate this:

Running Noble Rom 2.0 (based on Android 12 and One UI 4) on a Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos).
I doubt it is possible using the built-in functionality, so does anyone know of 3rd party software that would allow the lock screen (whether swipe, PIN, password, fingerprint, etc.) to be enabled ONLY when I'm not at my desk?
It could be a toggle tied to a shortcut/icon on my home page. It would be great if it were somehow tied into physical location, etc., maybe using Tasker or a similar Android tool.
Thanks.
Edit: Looks like it might be as simple as Settings, Lock Screen, Smart Lock, and adding my house as a "Trusted Place"...
