Android 7.1 / Lineage 14.1 lockscreen settings - General Questions and Answers

Hi. Yesterday upgraded VZW Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V) to lineage 14.1. Overall quite pleased with it. But it's missing some critical security / lockscreen setting in the GUI.
Specifically lockscreen delay time value + toggle for power button to lock. or not lock By default power button locks and timer is set to min or 2. I need to adjust these settings. Preferably 30 min delay and no lock on power button.
Look around on play store for app to give me back these familiar settings from my stock VZW android 5. Didn't find any.
Does anyone know an app that can do this and/or the appropriate terminal commands to adjust these settings? (I use pin security option)
Thanks!

Disabling Android Lockscreen

Trying to have only WidgetLocker as a lockscreen. Deleted the Sense lockscreen but can't seem to disable the Android one. Coming from AOSP it had an option to disable that didn't wake the phone with any hardware button press as I use volume rocker to change songs while biking. Here's what I've tried:
- WidgetLocker disable lockscreen wakes phone up with any hardware button press
- Security - lockscreen - none doesn't disable the lockscreen when opening notifications, at least. Haven't tried when phone's been off for a minute.
- NoLock seems to be the same as WidgetLocker option
- Can't find .apk for Android lockscreen in Titanium. Is it an actual system app or in the framework?
I'm fresh out of ideas. Small annoyance but would like to get rid of the extra swipe to open my homescreen.

[Q] Lollipop Lockscreen

Hello.
On my nexus 5 I always remove the Lockscreen.
Yesterday I updated to lollipop, so i deactivated the lockscreen but when I changed the user, just for a try, automatically my nexus changed the lockscreen and now i've not the option in the setting to set it off.
How can I do?
just enter guest profile. go to profiles -> remove guest. you should go back to your default profile and have the option enabled again. worked for me.
when phone is charging on lock screen not showing how much time left from full charge. Do you know why?

Toggleable Pattern/PIN Lockscreen?

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.
(GS5 Neo, rooted, stock 5.1.1)
I've found something I can work with. Using shell commands I can emulate touches to activate/deactivate this:

Upgraded to AOSP Nougat from MiUI Lollipop, need help to perform the following tweaks

Upgraded my Redmi Note 3 from MiUI lollipop 5.1.1 to SIimROM Nougat 7.1.2. My phone is rooted with Magisk & also has systemless xposed.
First, I want to disable quick settings pull down from the lock screen. I'm able to use every toggle on my quick settings screen without the PIN code. Wouldn't want to allow that without the PIN. Gravitybox Nougat doesn't seem to have an option to disable that.
Second, on MiUI, whenever an app accessed my location, I also got a notification that displayed which app was using location. This doesn't seem to be the case on AOSP Nougat, all I get is a location icon in the status bar, but have no idea which app is accessing my location. That isn't of much use, is there is a root app or an xposed module that can display which app is accessing my location?
Third, the max volume on my ROM seems to be too low, I can't hear most YouTube videos I watch without keeping the phone very close to my face. Which mod would be the best to increase system volume? I don't care about other equalizer settings & all that, just want a way to increase max system volume.
Fourth, when I first setup a lock screen on my ROM, it seems to have encrypted my phone. But when I turned On accessibility service of an app, I no longer see the secure PIN screen that was asked before at boot. Some searching made me realize that turning On accessibility disables encryption, don't know why this is the case. 4 of my apps need the accessibility service to do their tasks, is there no way to have the accessibility service enabled while also keeping the phone encrypted? There must be some workaround....

Screen security (silly?) question

Hi,
i'm on OOS 5.1.6 with unlocked bootlader, official TWRP, and root via Magisk, also got xposed and a few modules (greenify being one of them).
Now the noob silly part: how comes that even if i set fingerprint security for lockscreen (with PIN security behind), if i turn off the screen via power button, and then wake it up (after more than 5secs!) with button again, i am presented with a lockscreen with no security and i can simply swipe up the lock icon and enter the phone?
I'm for sure missing something really obvious here, OR one of my modules (GB, Greenify) might interfere with the security?
Just to be clear: fingerprint unlocking WORKS flawlessly, but if i use the button it just shows the small lock icon that i can simply swipe-up.
Thanks!
Maybe you have enabled face unlock?
Do you have smart lock on? Trusted place or similar, smart watch etc. If one of those are on, it will let you unlock just with a swipe.
And the default time for this lock is 5 sec, see the settings icon right of display lock in settings - security
Thanks guys, i had for some reason Smart Lock enabled, and specifically trusted places (Home) taken from Google Maps. I could not disable it (well i could, but it reverted back as active) until i found under 'Trust Agents' Smart Lock (Google) and disabled it.
Weird.
