I've already used the search function and can't find an answer.
I've enabled the AutoLock feature through Advanced Config, I find it pretty useful . The only big gripe I have about it is as soon as it locks, it return automatically to the Home screen tab on TF3D (for example if I'm on the music tab, then it locks, when I want to unlock, it's back on the Home tab). Also, if I'm running an app (like Opera), it'll automatically become minimized when it locks, and when I unlock it, I'm back at the Home screen tab and have to maximize the app again. It's a minor thing but can get quite annoying.
Any reg tweak to prevent the autolock feature from minimizing any runnign apps and returning to the Home screen when it does lock?
i guess no one knows?
I need an app like the "Go to sleep" future available in CM roms in the power widget. I KNOW there are a bunch on the market, but they have a flaw: after i lock the screen with it and power the screen on by button, my wallpaper dissapears for 3-4 seconds then it comes back. Also i need a simple app that does only that (shortcut or widget, dosent really matter) and not having extra options, so the ram usage would be minimal.
The "go to sleep" future works well (no wallpaper problem, no ram usage), but i dont know how to create a shortcut on the screen for it, also is annoying to pull the notification bar all the time to push it.
Screen off and lock works perfectly for me. If you want no ram usage, go with the donated version.

I agree ^^^^^ ++1!
e-Sex.. All of the carpral none of the tunnel
i'm using Lock Screen App by Kenneth Cheng, but this isn't really good either - if u lock the screen u can't unlock it right after ....u have to wait 2-3 sec. I have tryed the Screen off and lock but it got stuck in the ram and that annoyed me. Anw, ty for the answers.
Well, I tried "Screen Off and Lock" by Katecca, "Lock Screen App" by Kenneth Cheng, "Turn Off Screen" by Marinelli.Tv. The best of them is "Turn Off Screen", although sometimes the lockscreen appear before the screen is completely off, there's no false sleep like "Screen Off and Lock" (this app always give me false sleeps). Currently, I'm using Elixir2, it has widget to turn off the screen, and the screen doesn't flicker, lockscreen doesn't re-appear, there're false sleeps, but very rare.
False sleep: the screen is turned off, but when you turn it on, the lockscreen appears for ~1 seconds and it turns off. Several pushs on power button is needed to make the lockscreen stays there to be unlocked.
yes, "Turn Off Screen" by Marinelli seems to do the job almost like the power-off button, ty !
Is there a way to exempt a lock screen shortcut from needing the PIN to open? I want to do this for Google Now and the Camera.
Thanks
Has anyone figured out how to disable / freeze the Screen Swipe Effect? I prefer using the pattern lock, but the screen swipe effect still comes on when my phone is paired to trusted device.
You can change the effect used and shortcuts displayed using options in General > Security > Lock Screen settings, but I can't find any way to disable the actual effect.
I keep losing Photo/Video opportunities on great moments, for two reasons:
My device doesn't let me choose which Camera app to open from Lock Screen's shortcut.
(only the native Camera app, which sucks)
I must type my PIN to be able to even open the native Camera app.
I keep telling myself that my next phone must have a way to be able to open my favorite Camera app straight from the Lock Screen, without having to type my PIN or struggling with the "swipe up" gesture to actually show the keypad (which many times doesn't display on first try). It's just frustrating.
Is there any device that actually does this?
And as a bonus question... why are all native Camera apps now forcing us to "swipe" to move from "Photo" to "Video" mode, which just slows down everything even more? Why can't the "Take Photo" and "Start Recording" buttons be on the SAME screen?
In the lower right corner of the home screen of my phone, there is indeed a launch icon of my native camera app. But I found that it doesn't work at all. I don't know why. :-(
It works for me. I put Open Camera there. However, it requires me to put the PIN.
I can also set up the Volume Down/Up key to open the Camera App, without PIN, but unfortunately that only supports the native Camera app, which sucks.
my phone has this feature when the screen is lock and dimmed black you can press VOL- button 3x and camera would open thou you still need to enter pin to view the capture images
