[REQ/IDEA] Secure Lockscreen

Hey guys, i got an idea for an interested dev. I dont have a android phone yet, but I've been lurkin around here for a while and have learned a lot from all you guys.
Now, i for one know people who go through others phones. Needless to say, it is annoying. I have an idea to con these guys out of there snooping.
Its a lock screen app that implicates both that we know already, the standard bar swiping one

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and the combo one
I was thinking maybe we could get an app that let you swipe the bar, like if it was going to open it, but then act like if nothing happened. To actually unlock it, you would put the combo in invisibly, either by swiping through specific sectors, as if the screen were a grid.
This is my idea to you devs for a safer phone.

I like this idea. Would be a good April fools trick too.

hahaaha, i know right. just hope a dev is willing to do it.

Can't imagine it would be that hard since both items are already built.

Hmm well on cyanogenmod you can just hide the "dots" on the Pattern-lock. I use it currently. My current background is black, so that's why it's all black. It's just an extra security measure. Anyone without an android phone wouldn't really know what to do considering it doesn't even show the "Incorrect pattern" message (which you can turn on or off).
Note that this is the normal pattern lock with just everything hidden (except for the cyanogenmod message at the top, which can be turned off/changed to something else.) There's no slide-unlock then pattern-unlock, just pattern-unlock.

Weird Screen Glitch When Unlocking Via Pattern Lock

Have encountered this twice with my replacement One S (first one had a weird refresh issue that I haven't encountered yet with the replacement). This is all using the stock Sense launcher with pattern locked enabled.
Basically coming out of a screen off situation I unlock via the ring and then get the pattern screen. However, everything is smaller and shifted far to the right so I can't see all of the dots and therefore can't unlock. Only solution is to restart the phone.

Just curious if others have run into this.

Just happened again.
Figured out a workaround to not have to reboot the phone. One of my lock screen shortcuts is the camera. When this happened I went directly to the camera from the lock screen and back to the lock screen and all of the dots appeared this time.

Are you rooted, bootloader unlocked, or running a dif recovery? I have been using the gesture unlock since day one and have had no issues like what you describe. Perhaps a factory reset may help?

None of that. Stock out of the box. I'll monitor it and see if I can determine if it is specific steps that lead to it since it doesn't happen that frequently. Hasn't been happened at all today.

This happened with me too, on my stock phone. It must be a bug that has to do with the camera unlock feature, I just stick to bare pattern and it works for me.

I have the exact same issue with my stock HTC One S. I don't use face unlock just the pattern.
Thanks for the camera thing work around, I was getting tired of rebooting my phone.

Question, when you open the app drawer and start tapping "Menu" on top right rapidly, does the UI start glitching?

It's happen to me as well, I'm using the face unlock now to avoid reboot. I'll try the camera work around.

I occasionally get that as well but turning the screen off and on again or even going in to the emergency dialer and backing out usually fixes it. I've never had to reboot because of it. I use the camera for security with a trace pin backup.

What is WearPIN?
WearPIN is an Android Wear app that adds extra protection to your Android device or tablet by changing its PIN every time you want to unlock your device. It also allows you to instantly lock your device if you've left your phone unlocked, which is very handy in case you give your phone to your friend who starts messing around with things or you accidentally forgot to lock your phone in a hurry and don't want any one else to touch or use it. (This will only work if your phone is in range of your Wear device)
How it works:
First, activate the app on your phone!
How to unlock:
Open the WearPIN app on your Android Wear device
Enter the PIN shown on the screen on your Android device
That's it!
How to lock:
Open the WearPIN app on your Android device
Tap "Lock my device"
That's it
What if my watch is disconnected or away from my phone?
WearPIN includes an emergency unlock feature. In case your watch is disconnected or away from your phone, you can unlock your device using a recovery PIN. The default recovery PIN is 123456 but you are given an option to change it when you set-up WearPIN for the first time.

You can simply use Album my friend.. Go to settings /display/turn off Image enhancement. And then open album and open any colorful image. Then take a screenshot of it. Again go to settings and turn on Image Enhancement then open Album and see again the same image.. Take a screenshot of it.. Then compare both image.. U can feel 100% different my friend.. If u don't see any different means sure that ur DRM key is not restored correctly...

hm. but then should the screenshot with no enchancement also get enchanted when i look at it to compare?

Is it possible to set a Main Home Screen?

Hello!
My friend just got his Xperia Z5, but we can't find a way to set a main home screen on the phone.
Does anyone know how? Or it isn't possible?
Thank you!

This?

Cool. Didn't know about that feature.

My account is new, so I need to post like 10 times to post a screenshot... >.<

But, it doesn't show that icon "home" on his phone.
That's really strange.

You have to hold your finger down on the home screen to enable "edit" mode. Notice all the icons and a red X on them to delete?

Yes, but the home icon on the top left corner doesn't show on the phone. Only the "X" on the top right corner.

And you're using the standard Sony Launcher, right? Not Nova Launcher or something else? Seems strange that this would be in one region/carrier firmware but not another. I'm on Customized DE and it's there.

His phone is a Swedish Xperia Z5. I thought that would be the same for every single Xperia. I don't know if the region would matter. Can you confirm this? Using another Launcher would fix it?
On another topic, does your phone have the inicialization music when you turn it on? Is it possible to turn it on or off? Because his doesn't have any of those.
Thanks!

I couldn't say what other launchers do and I only have one region to test (Germany). Sorry.
Phone makes no sound on startup/boot.

My phone are a swedish one with nordic firmware.
I can set home screen as shown in the picture, also there are no sound then booting up the phone.
