Running Noble Rom 2.0 (based on Android 12 and One UI 4) on a Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos).
I doubt it is possible using the built-in functionality, so does anyone know of 3rd party software that would allow the lock screen (whether swipe, PIN, password, fingerprint, etc.) to be enabled ONLY when I'm not at my desk?
It could be a toggle tied to a shortcut/icon on my home page. It would be great if it were somehow tied into physical location, etc., maybe using Tasker or a similar Android tool.
Thanks.
Edit: Looks like it might be as simple as Settings, Lock Screen, Smart Lock, and adding my house as a "Trusted Place"...

Does anyone know of a widget that can toggle the lock screen pattern on or off? I tried this one called Fantasy LockScreen which doesn't work on Froyo 2.2.
Code:
market.android.com/details?id=com.curvefish.widgets.fantasylockscreen
try widgetsoid, it has a toggle for pattern lock along with many others.

I have Widgetsoid and the pattern lock widget doesn't do what I want.
Basically I'd like something like an auto-rotate on/off setting but for the lock screen pattern. So, if I'm at home, I'd toggle the lock pattern off and toggle it back on when I go out (as long as I remember).
i think extended controls in the market does this....i've never used it but the option is there to enable and disable the lockscreen pattern
Thanks planedoc, I tried Extended Controls but the lockscreen pattern widget doesn't work in 2.2. Google disabled access to toggling that option in the Froyo update.
'No Lock' works with Froyo - it simply overrides the screen lock.
Or DelayedLock is under development - it overrides the screen lock for a predefined time interval.
DelayedLock does allow 2.2 users to override the lock screen pattern/password, although it does bother me that now every button on my phone will wake it up leaving it prone to accidental pocket presses.
There also doesn't seem to be a way to retain the slide to unlock, but only disable the pattern/pass lock from what the dev said.
The app's built-in simple slide lock feature is nice, but not very attractive coming from the Sense UI screen slide lock. I posted suggestions in the dev's original post about DelayedLock.
I actually found another app called "Extend Lock Time" (for Sense only?) which allows you to specify a longer screen pattern/password timeout in seconds. It's very simplistic - could use a UI update to make changing values easier - but will work for now.
I have been using lockpattern onoff which i got from the market. Im using it on cm7 om my nexus and works great for me. I dont know if this is what u were looking for or not. It should work on 2.2 cuz i was using with rods miui rom and worked for me.
LockPattern OnOff doesn't seem to work with the stock Sense ROM (UK version) on 2.2 for now... hopefully someone will find a way around it.
On my other devices (which run AOSP kitkat roms), I can access my camera with my pattern lock still enabled. All I do is swipe the pattern to the left, and the camera UI opens. It allows me to take new photos, and review them, but doesn't allow me to access any photos that were taken before the screen locked (i.e. it's not a backdoor to get past the lock and look at all my pictures). I always loved this functionality.
On my vzw M8, I cannot replicate this functionality. If I swipe in the same way, I just get a blank page where a widget can be added. Looking through the available widget options, I don't see anything for the camera. I even installed Google Camera just to see if that would make any difference, but no.
I know that the M8's gesture functionality allows something very similar (long-press vol-down while screen is off to launch directly into camera). I'd love to use this, but the gestures are all-or-none. Since I find the other gestures problematic (double-tap to wake, for example), I have all my gestures disabled.
So is there currently a way to replicate the AOSP locked-camera functionality on this device? Or do I simply have to wait for an AOSP rom?
For what it's worth, I'm running Skyfall 1.3
EDIT - story of my life... I figure something out just a few seconds after asking a question, even though I've been trying to figure it out for days.
Turns out I can swipe down (i.e. to hide the pattern lock), which causes the camera icon to appear at the lower-right corner. Then I just need to swipe up on that icon.
Nice work, Byron
Never mind. Didn't read your post close enough I guess. I see you know about the gestures.
Hey guys, I just got a Note Edge (loving it btw) and was wondering if there are any lock screen replacements with decent notification features (like Snaplock) that also allows unlocking by fingerprint? I quite like the look of the normal TouchWiz lock screen so something like the DashClock Widget would be perfect since it adds notifications by way of widgets instead of a whole lock screen replacement but I just found out that TouchWiz doesn't allow widgets on the lock screen apart from the default digital clock. Can someone offer some suggestions? Either a lock screen replacement that allows fingerprint scanning or some way to allow widgets on the lock screen after I root it. Thanks a lot!
Go setting....lock screen...under screen lock select finger print.

It's already built into the phone and works great for me. I also like how when using PayPal you can swipe your fingerprint to pay. Can't wait till you can lock different apps with the fingerprint, this would be super useful.

Sorry, maybe I didn't explain properly. I've already registered 3 fingerprints and they work quite well in the lock screen (a lot better than what I had read from some accounts prior to purchasing the phone). What I would like is to have notifications on my lock screen like what you'd get on an iPhone or through lock screen replacements like Snaplock or Next Lock Screen. The problem is, when I turn on one of these lock screen replacements in the settings, I get two lock screens. First the replacement lock screen appears with all the notifications and then after unlocking that through either swiping/pattern/pin (they don't support fingerprints), I get the system lock screen which allows me to use my fingerprint. Of course, I can just turn off the system lock screen but like I said, the other lock screen replacements like Snaplock or Next don't support fingerprints.

How can u set up paypal?
With the upgrade to Lollipop, you can now get notifications to show on the lock screen (Settings > Device > Sound and Notifications). Unfortunately, Samsung doesn't allow widgets to be used on the secure (fingerprint, PIN, pass, etc.) lock screens, so I am unable to put a weather widget on my lock screen. And since I have a corporate Exchange email account set up on my phone i can't opt-out of using a secure lock screen.
Like all of the other unfortunate AT&T customers that purchased a Note Edge, I got screwed over without the ability to root my device. I would really like to set my phone up the way I want it, as it should be.
And while i'm *****ing, why can't Samsung set up one of their Edge panels (briefing maybe?) to wake the edge screen and display notifications for SMS messages? Am I missing something, or wouldn't that be an ideal function to have with the edge screen? It's nice that they will allow sms notifications on the main lock screen now via lollipop, but why not put them on the edge screen where they should be on a device such as this?
If i'm missing something and there are ways to resolve my two complains please feel free to fill me in.

Thanks for that. I'm still trying to get my phone to update to Lollipop so maybe that will solve everything. I have a factory unlocked phone bought in Australia so from what I read, the update should've rolled out ages ago but it never seems to see it. Anyways, I'm downloading the update manually now via sammobile so let's see!

Totally agree with you. Even if we don't get whole text messages scrolled across the Edge screen, at least light up a few pixels there to show us there that there are notifications waiting. I have a cover that doesn't allow me to see the notification light next to the logo but has a slit cut out for the Edge so that would be perfect.
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.

I've found something I can work with. Using shell commands I can emulate touches to activate/deactivate this:

I've only recently come across from Samsung so I don't know if this is normal or not.
On my Pixel 7 Pro, when the phone is locked, I can still swipe down the quick settings tiles and use them without unlocking.
I can switch off Bluetooth, wifi, auto rotate, I can even open Google Wallet but that obviously needs a password to pay.
Is there a simple way to disable quick settings from lock screen?
