Hey there, new to the forums here. I was wondering if any of you guys new a way to have it so that when I wake the device (note 3 running cyanogenmod 11) , it would be ready to put my pattern In rather then having to hit the lock icon right above the home button every time I unlock my phone. I know its possible, because that's how it was before, but I messed with the keyguard. Apk file it might not be like that anymore (even though I did make a backup and restored it so really it didn't make a difference) is there some kinda check box I need to rick somewhere? Any help would be appreciated.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. That kind of defeats the purpose of having a pin or pattern unlock. But if you're on Android 5.x you can use smart lock, settings, security.
You could also try asking your question here,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2595464&page=633

hey guys,
any of you found an app to replace the swipe unlock for the unlock pattern, rather than having both?
not urgent as this is the best phone I've ever had, but would be a nice touch.

You're right... but it's such a shame don't you think... really no need for the swipe, if you have the pattern....
I thought that was the case...
May look into how hard it will be to create an app to do it
The swipe unlock can be replaced with iphone/hero/donut/eclair style unlocking using the lockbot app. So I think an app should be able to solve this (However I'm not capable of making suck apps).
there is a free app called "No Lock" which simply disables the lock screen apparently. If you have the pattern lock underneath this then i guess you would just get that.
i haven't tried this, but just came across it by accident and it reminded me of this thread
Thanks for that, but no luck
It disables both the lock and the unlock screens (if that makes sense)
It is quite handy if you are at home and have the phone on a table and having a text conversation where you keep turning the screen on and off, but not quite what I wanted
I wonder if this is something that could be built on top of to give us what we want, I will email the Dev of this app and see what they say about it.
I will update when I know more
Right then guys, I have had a response from BoD
I sent them this:
Good afternoon,
I have downloaded the no lock app for android. It is great app, however, there are quite a few users of android who would like to see an app that would remove the lock screen but keep the pattern unlock screen or pin screen etc. Im hoping you are open to suggestions, and as you have created the app to remove the lock screens completely (which is pretty much halfway there), I was wondering if you were thinking of creating an app capable of this?
If you are and would like beta testers, I'm sure i could get a few volenteers together to do so.
Thanks,
To which they responded (very quickly too):
Hi!
Unfortunately there is no way (that I know of) to do that currently.
I hope you'll enjoy the app anyway.
Have a nice day,
So.... It looks like they are not aware of how this can be done, IF it can be done, which is a shame.
Thanks sungrad for pointing the app out though
no probs sorry it wasn't much use
it exists in the security settings in the phone (pattern lock ) just enable it

I have the pattern unlock enabled.
The problem is that to unlock my phone now I have the swipe (with the triangle and the curve) and the pattern unlock. I want the pattern unlock to replace the swipe unlock, rather than be requested as well as the swipe unlock.
It's only a minor issue I have, but it does get annoying when you are using it a lot (text conversation etc)

it is really annoying but i have an idea the application mananger if we could know its name we could deactivate it like what they do with htc devices they deactivated htc sense
nobody has a solution for that?
Not exactly what you're after but there are widgets that toggle the unlock pattern off/on. You could toggle the unlock pattern off when texting so you only have to do the swipe. SwitchPro Widget has this feature but I haven't tested it with X10.
EDIT: Found this. It may be what you're after http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.brandongoodman.smartlock
Bump? I just wonder if anyone found a solution to this? I would really want what the OP states
just wanted to add... be careful with the "pattern lock" ... it literally disables your phone after 5 wrong pattern tries. I nearly did a system wipe just to unlock it.. Luckily for me it accepted my email account with "null" for password to re-enable it
I had that no lock app and it looked nice and handy but it messed with the pattern and slide default unlock when I went to uninstall, all I wanted was the pattern but no matter what way I set it,the swipe unlock would always be there, after loads of reboots and setting/unsetting a lock pattern it still did`nt work, this is after I uninstalled, after I dont know how many reboots even when I had the pattern enabled the swipe would come up first then the pattern, sometime only the swipe, it worked itself out, so be cautious of it....
Hi,
I got some trouble, no program can unlock the keyguard on my Ace.
I use Tasker with Secure Settings, and stuck on a job, when the phone should awake itself and unlock the keyguard (aka "slide to unlock" screen), but nothing happens.
Also tried other programs, such like No Lock app, with fail.
In conclusion I think is something wrong with this rom,
I hope for some help if anybody sees this, who know that rom.
Notify the developer maybe or sg...
Thanks in advance!
ps: I hope this is the right way I use this forum, not sure if wrote on the right place.

Hi, it probably is the dalvik vm error, it has been corrected in vo-1's 26 march rom. I don't have time to update the end rom , so I suggest you use his rom or another of the newer roms based on vo-1. You can probably get away without wiping data since they are the same base.
workaround
I've found a nice workaround, and therefor I can keep my beloved The End rom.
Just had to check the unlock with Menu button option in CM settings, then simulate the keypress with Tasker. Works like a charm.
In every other aspect this rom is perfect for me so far, I don't want to change it.
I looked around, but couldn't find an answer to this. Sorry if this has been asked before; you can close this and point me in the right direction if so.
Is there a way to change the backup/failsafe after the face unlock without redoing the face unlock? What I mean is, can I change from a pattern to a PIN without resetting the entire face unlock? Or can I change the pattern or PIN without resetting it?
I ask this because I have had problems with people going through my phone in the past, so the combination of a new job (with lots of confidential emails, etc.) and crazy girlfriends has made me want to make my phone as secure as possible. While the face unlock + blink keeps it pretty safe, I want to change the backup pattern/PIN from time to time. People see me enter it when the face unlock fails, or once or twice I've had to give it to someone to use my phone when I was across the room or outside or something. Once someone has this pattern/number, the face unlock + blink security measure can be bypassed very easily. Since I do the Improve Face Matching a few times to make the feature better, I'd prefer to not have to redo this every time I need to reset the backup pattern/PIN.
Thanks.
(edit: bump)
Bump...
Bump. I'm guessing this isn't possible considering it's an old thread that has yet to be answered. Either that or it's in the wrong section LOL.
Maybe so, but I really want it answered.

Hey guy, I got a galaxy s blaze recently and just rooted it today. I came across the problem of my home screen showing through my lock screen, no matter what type of unlocking method I use- whether it be passcode, the normal swipe to unlock, or the patter, it always shows through. It worked fine before, but I booted into CWM recovery on accident and when I rebooted to get out, it was like this. The pictures should help you guys understand what I'm talking about if you don't already. Please use noob friendly language, because I am a noob (although I hate to admit it...). Thanks for the help (first post by the way)
I believe there us a setting under display that allows you to use a picture for the unlock screen

I had the exact same problem until I went into the options and chose to use my wallpaper as my lockscreen image.
Thanks, I figured it out. Also, does anybody know how to make it so then when you lock the phone is requires you to slide to unlock and then prompts you to put in the passcode/pattern?

I believe that requires a change in the frameworks but not sure

If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button it doesn't bite lol
This happens after you fix permissions, if it happens again just change to a new wallpaper/ lock screen wallpaper and it will be fine.

Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.

Good luck
There is no way around the double swipe from what I have seen. I have used Lollipop on my Nexus 4, Note 2, and Moto G.
