Hi. Yes, I have looked but would like reassurance if possible. Does removing your lock screen disable your phones encryption? Thanks!

i'd rather it weren't there at all, if possible. Some setting where i can remove the 2 lock touch login?

Yes. Look in settings under security.
I need an app that will put the device to sleep but will allow me to reactivate it by touching the screen.
Is there one with this functionality?

Nope, haven't seen one yet. It probably fail one or both of the most important criteria: sensitivity and battery conservation. I'd suspect that, especially when the first has been met admirably, the second would suffer horribly.
Is activating the dock's waking functionality not an option? (I can't recall if you have the dock.) EDIT: that's somewhere under ASUS' customized settings panel on a stock ROM. I haven't seen functionality like that on a custom ROM, though -- I'll look around as well.
No I don't have a dock.
I need it when writing with super note.
I want to quickly deactivate and reactivate the screen.
But using the button and entering the pattern is to slow.
Maybe I will program it my own if possible.

Shutting it down is easy -- Turn Off the Lights does that, for example -- but it is the detection of which I am strongly doubtful.

I've just encrypted my Nexus 5 under Android 5.0 and I was hoping I could set a decryption PIN just for the startup boot process, and not every time I unlock my phone. I haven't managed to find a way to do this, though: it's possible to enable a startup PIN if you enable the lock screen PIN, but I don't see a way to simply enable a startup PIN.
My goal is simple: to secure my phone when it's powered off, while making it comfortable to use when it's powered on. Can this be done?
Thank you!
Not by standard. Not sure what affects using apps that turn the secure lock on and off will have. You can test them.

i'd say you want your phone to boot if you loose it (so you can track it), don't you think?

That's reasonable in most cases. But there are situations and circumstances in which the data privacy has a higher priority than the ability to track the phone. Anyway the question can be considered independently from its motivations: can I separate the encryption key from the lock screen key? According to issue 29468 and this discussion, it seems it's still not possible.

according to this:
http://source.android.com/devices/tech/encryption/
out of the box, no because the lock screen password/PIN/ is used to encrypt the actual encryption key (randomly generated)
thank you very much b/c indirectly you answered the question I had (the reason I was browsing this thread), namely the boot password thinggy (as I said I'd like the phone to boot, baring an exploit, it's well protected: bootloader relocked, long password, impossible to flash anything without wiping - I sign my builds cm-12 with my own keys, and I crippled the recovery to allow only signed zips-, and no adb -even in recovery- connection outside my own computer, I installed cerberus in the system partition without a backup script, the only way to get rid of it is to explicitly format the system partition, and above all I don't trust the phone ).
that said, it should be possible may be to fiddle with vold's sources to make it so (separate passwords, it shouldn't be too hard ) the only problem in the absence of an "official" solution (be it in AOSP or the flavor du jour Android) the user is backed into a corner : build his own ROM from sources.
Hey all!
first, i understand this is a security risk, but i am willing to take the risk.
Is there any way, including magisk modules or xposed plugins to have android pay working without having to enable a lock screen or trick it into thinking the lock screen is enabled?
Thanks on advanced.

I would love to figure this out as well. I hate the lock on my phone its such a hassle but I wanted to play around with android pay and I cannot do that without setting a lock.
I would recommend not even looking into this because a. There probably isn't a way around it and b. Nfc is stupid easy to take advantage of and is super insecure and all your accounts tied to the phone would likely be cleaned within a week of figuring this out

Use smartlock to stay unlocked?
Maybe this?
It's a workaround, not properly a module/mod
Answer: use a pattern and fingerprint, quite easy.
similar issue
I am looking for something similar and willing to pay if they can make me an app to install that accomplishes what I need.
I need apps to think that I have a lock screen set when in reality it is set to none or swipe only.
In want apps that support it to be able to use fingerprint even though a lock screen is not set.
Also the ability to modify or add finger prints without screen lock set.
I have similar to the same problem. I downloaded Google pay, then uninstalled it and now I can't not have a lock screen, which I find quite annoying, as I have never used a lock screen in the past
Anyone know how to keep fingerpint to unlock apps without using a lock on the homescreen?
Im not a fan of locking my homescreen but i like being able to use my fingerpeint to unlock banking apps instead of logging in with password.
It seems like you need a fingerprint lockscreen to keep the feature to unlock apps with fingerprint. They seem to be connected. Any way around it?
You could put the apps you want locked into the secure folder.
+1. It'd be great to be able to log into apps with fingerprint and keep using swipe or a pin code to unlock our phones. Anyone know of a way?

Thanks but thats just more steps to get into the banking apps.

For me… i dont like a lock screen. But i do like fingerprint for my banking apps so i dont need to type in my password.

Gotcha. I'm the opposite... still would like a lock screen but using the other alternatives..
Probably no way around it sense the biometrics on your device are a shared asset. It references what the phone identifies as you to identify you in the app. Its why you can have four finger prints that can verify you in the bank app but you only need one for the initial setup. And switching to none for lockscreen removes all biometrics.
