[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_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"
}
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.

[Q] Don't laugh! How do I disable the damn lock screen?

Guys,
Very annoying problem on my Verizon HTC One M8 (1.55.605.2).
Sorry for the noob-like question, but I want to disable the lock screen and I can't seem to disable it. I know, I know ... It sounds ridiculous, but I'm wondering if the last OTA update disabled the feature. I'm not rooted, yet. Part of the process is to disable lock screens and while trying to do so, I can't. Grrrr....
I go to Security, Screen Security section and just below that I'm supposed to see the "No Lock Screen" option. What's up with that?! Any advice and/or workaround would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm on the same update, no root, no S-off (yet). Settngs > Security > Screen Lock > No Lock Screen is there for me, does what it advertises.

You don't see this when you click on screen security?

Yes, I see the options, but the top three are greyed out for whatever reason. I'm ready to reset the damn phone. I have no clue why that changed and it's probably something stupid I did while playing around with the phone. :silly:

Did you setup the phone to synch with an Exchange server? If so, that is likely the cause.

Oh Shiznitz! That was it! I confirmed by resetting the phone and when setting up the access to the corporate email, it greyed out the options. Interesting. Thanks for that little nugget of information.

Great app use it daily

I concur. I use it every day as well.

Dear Rick, thanks for the cool app, just let you know that on my new Note 5, I can not import the fingerprint indicator from internal memory even i saw it, but nothing happens when I choose, the indicator unchanged. Can u keep a little bit attention on that? Thanks again Rick

Hi. I got one other report about this. I am not sure if the person was using a Note 5 :$. Could you contact me via email? You can find my email address on the about page in FingerSecurity or on the Play Store page

Very good app, I use it daily since I had the Galaxy S5

Hi Rick,
Really digging this app. There is one minor annoying thing that is happening. When I turn on my screen the application looks to jump to the top of the notification list. When it does that it moves everything down, which causes a bit of shutter on my lock screen.
Have you heard of this? Also, PM if you want a video for this great application.

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.

Wtf? It looks like a wallpaper...
Maybe something to do with wallpapers or themes? Any wallpaper apps loaded?
Try in safe mode.

no wallpaper apps. I'll try setting a different theme, but I'm sure it's the default theme.
I'll google safe mode and try that. thank you for your help. I thought someone might recognize this as a setting.

I found the setting that was causing the problem. searching "screensaver" in settings found a selection for screensaver when docked or charging. I changed it to "none".
thanks for your reply!

Yay! Lol, Samsung's are notorious for their hidden settings. Sometimes in plain sight but others required a double tap on unmarked menu items
edit: I'm aware it's an LG. Koreans are sort of krazy in general... look at their graffiti
