CM12 / Android 5 Lock Screen Question

Hey,
Just a quick question in regards to how the lock screen behaves in CM12 / Android 5.
Currently when turn my phone's screen on i'm simply presented with the swipe to unlock pattern:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
However My Dad's Moto G just got the Lolipop update, when he unlocks his phone now he has to first swipe up to unlock the phone, then enter his unlock pattern.
My question is for anyone who has used CM12 / Android 5 on our OnePlus can this be changed to simply show the swipe to unlock by default? I dislike the "dual lock screen" that always used to bug me on Android 2.2 / 2.3.
Cheers.

I have the same worry, I have versions 5.1 CM 12.1. (on 4.4 it worked normally)
If you say that earlier it was better then apparently from 5.0 to 5.1 they changed
A bit of a sensible ...: - /
I was looking for ways (without interfering with the system) but I did not find one.
It may be possible if the lock screen changes from other applications or modules

I do not know if it will help, but recently I uploaded custom rom deodexed Stock 4.4.2
on galaxy s5 (... in andku 4.4 there is no unlocking effect ...) I did not have the possibility to upload the viewers onto the lock screen and I found on XDA reworked file "Keyguard.apk" which is located in "system / priv_app / Keyguard.apk "
After uploading widgets work ...
You may have to decompile the "Keyguard.apk" file in 5.1 android and change the command entry in some "xml" or "smali" file, but you have to know a bit ...: /
The second option is to replace Keyguard.apk in android 5.1 with a file of 5.0 (but you need to look for the exact model of the phone, odex / deodex etc.)
The third option is to look for patches on XDA ...

Hi, I recently got CM13 android 6.0.1 and in the options I found "show directly pattern" functions that work (on another AOSP android 6 it was also this option)
So, as I said before, change in files or change of romu

Miui 10 for mi4 chinese

Hi My Xiaomi MI4 recently has been showing notification of UPDATE available TO version MIUI 10. Should I update it ?
I've heard it doesn't change nothing at all. and beside it once you update to it, you can't downgrade to previously version.

It may slow down the phone. But it will also give new looks and better features. Also, there is always an option to downgrade if you can use your laptop and spend some time to install any custom rom. (Will also void the guarantee)

It's a good choice to update to MIUI 10.

I've tried the lastest version of MIUI for cancro(MIUI10 8.9.13) for nearly one year. Before Febuary, 2019, I tried the PixelExperience(based on Android 8.1) and its new features & mini size touched me(I can use my face to unlock by Google Smart Lock. And 16GB isn't enough nowadays). But finally I missed the convenient settings and stability of MIUI, and Android 6.0 can still running most of the apps.
Of course, I have deleted some useless system apps(for me) like Mi Video\Mi Game\Mi Browser. In this case, I installed MX Player and Via(also Google Webview Core). To make the ROM better, I also changed the theme(bar, lockscreen), fonts(changed to MiLanPro by an app[because Magisk doesn't work on this ROM]), launcher(with a good icon package) and wallpaper. It doesn't slow down the phone. Just try it!

🤔 👉 Xiaomi Redmi's - com.miui.securitycenter and other spyware

On my donut MIUI phone which I continued to use for quite sometime after AT&T phone was messed up and the latter's warrenty wasnt quite honored the way I wanted it , I noticed strange things happened when i started using MIUI ( that would be since 2 months , before that I was on a Custom ROM that supposedly had a VoLTE fix , which never worked and pushed me to stock ) . Here are some of the ' ghosts' responsible for haunting my phone which otherwise seemed to have a fair build and hardware
-- MIUI cleaner --> status disabled -->
Q ? can I throw it out completely without bootloop​
-- Booster - same as a
above
--com.miui.securitycenter
Here's another post I opened here on this. You cant throw it out . Q ? If you cant throw it out what can you do it make it in effective .
. Do we make changes in the boot image and how
All this is the remnant after I debloated MIUI safely much as I could
Am i just plain paranoid because this is a Chinese phone ? here's my A
It deleted my entire WhatsApp data folder /data/data/com.whatsapp . ​logcat gave me confirmation its some MIUI un-invited crap
It did the same to my Youtube folder
Later on it revoked all permissions i granted to a bunch of apps e.g. contacts and storage denied to Whatsapp and you could only see Phone #'s instead of names
Whats happening can someone explain ?
It erratically without any logic starts killing apps that are left to run in background. ( MIUI optimizations were turned off notwithstanding it all this happened )
It appears to 'inject' any app you install with facebook ad services
and yes this is an original stock ROM I d/l from official MI site
my phone is redmi 8a and this is MIUI 11.03x w/ TWRP & magisk

Update LG Wine Smart from Android 4 to 5 or 6?

Apologies for posting here but there is no forum for the LG Wine Smart (D486). Mine currently has stock 4.4.2 KitKat. Aw remember that? LG update app no longer functions correctly as it was shut down in 2020.
Is there any way to update this to 5 or preferably 6? There is an app I need that isn't compatible with Android 4.

You have to find
1. A Custom ROM suitable to phone ( specs: 1 GB RAM, 4 GB max storage )
2. If found, a Custom Recovery suitable to phone to flash the Custom ROM found

Many thanks. Sorry for the questions but if you were me, where would you look first?
Alternatively I wanted to make it clear that this phone officially shipped with Android 5.1 later in its life. I just happen to have an earlier 4.4.2 version. Where might I find the official 5.1 ROM and flash it?
Edit: I have found some options that I will try at http://lg-roms.com/lg-firmware/lg-h410/h41010d/2879

I'm not having any luck @jwoegerbauer . It turns out 4.4.2 was the latest official ROM for this phone.
Would you be able to assist a little? If you were me, where would you look first (as in URLs) to get a custom Android 6 ROM and recovery?
I'd like to update to Android 6 or higher. All the apps I want to install require Android 6+.
I'd just need to make sure it can recognise input from the LG Wine Smart D486 keypad.

Any universal root that works on all phones? (Stuck rooting LG H486 KitKat)

I have exhausted every root method that might work for the LG486 and nothing works properly. The most I can get is super user appearing in the app list but not properly installed. It wasn’t a very common phone so it’s understandable that there is no working route.
My end goal is to edit edit build.prop, so that android 4.4.2 appears to apps to be android 6.0. I need to install a certain app on the phone.
All the options found via Google for root either do not work or lead to broken file links. I have also tried Universal options like Kingo Root and Androot but they don't work at all.
Is there any universal root that I could try which is supposed to work with any phone?
Or is anybody able to help me route this phone? I’m happy to pay for assistance. Thanks.

Simply editing build.prop doesn't help, IMO, because the files that make the Android OS ( read: libraries ) mostly changes from SDK version to SDK version, means apps compiled for Android 4.4.4 may not working properly on 4.4.4 onwards, and reverse.

Probably won't... but might. I'm open to other solutions if you have any.

This oldie might work for rooting it...

Probably some pop ups will emerge if you fake that Android version...
And that app you wanted to change probably has some reason why it needs be that 6+ ...

Unfortunately this only half worked on the LG D486 (Wine Smart).
SU is installed but reports "There is no SU binary installed"... and RootChecker confirms not fully rooted. I can't edit root items such as build.prop.
However on the download boot screen, it did say in small red text, "ROOTED" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Is anyone able to help fully root the LG D486?

Okay, you tested it already... maybe you should try it by hand then...
To see what's happening... lglaf.py might work if send_command.exe doesn't...
