Jelly Bean update ate my VPN profiles - Nexus S General

After the JB update my VPN profiles were all gone. I'm a stock-user with 27 low-permission apps so I didn't really expect this..
So in case you didn't upgrade yet and have valuable vpn-profiles.. back them up.. somehow.
Other than that the usual: no CRT on lock; lockscreen not waterproof (image of screen pops up when locking/unlocking)

V4.2 upgrade success

I just upgraded to v 4.2 from 4.1.2. The clock in login page looks very ugly - the hours and date are thick stroke and minutes are thin. Can it be changed?
In addition, there is + box on left of clock box. What is that? Is there any work instructions for v 4.2 on internet?
Suggest searching here... lots of lockscreen options ("Fixed Clock" is the easiest). "+" is adding widgets (long press)

[Q] Lockring then PIN/Password/Pattern

Hello!
I currently have a Nexus 4 on the three network. I am running Android 4.2.2, rooted and with a custom rom of 3.50 Paranoid Android.
I use a pattern for my lockscreen at the moment, but was wondering something? Is there an app with lets the phone have a lockring with the apps on it and then when you swipe to unlock it, you still have to do some type of security.
Basically I want the functionality of the lock ring (open apps quickly) while sustaining the security aspect of passwords.
Thanks,
Adam

I was wondering about this too. On my old HD2 one of the CM10 (i.e. JB 4.1) ROMs had this functionality so maybe CM 10.1 has it as well. I'd wait for someone else to respond before doing anything but if you desperately need this but want to retain all the features of PA then try out the PAC ROM which may well solve your issues.
Cheers. I'll check it out now
CM 10.1 doesn't seem to have it. I'll check pacman in a few moments.
did you figure out how to do it?
Nope. I couldn't find it at all. The best I could do is have a widget locker lock screen then a pattern lock. I'm not too bothered anymore

[SOLVED][Q] Lockscreen widgets disappear every other time

I am on the official CM10.1 RC2. I didn't flash anything else other than a fix for Wi-Fi ARP when in sleep mode, as well as an older radio to enable LTE.
What has been going on every since I flashed my first CM10.1 nightly (got the phone on May 2) is that every other time I wake the phone, the lockscreen widgets disappear.
This is a 100% predictable and totally consistent pattern. If I wake the phone and my lockscreen widgets are visible, then the next time I lock the phone and wake it, the lockscreen widgets disappear. If I wake the phone and my lockscreen widgets are missing, I can guarantee they'll come back if I immediately lock and wake it again.
I know it's not an Android 4.2 problem, because my sister's HTC One S doesn't have this issue and it's set up the same way.
To illustrate what I mean, these are the two states my lockscreen always alternates between:
Been trying to find an answer for this... maybe I'm not using the right keywords :/
EDIT: SOLVED - Turns out Lockscreen Policy was the culprit. I disabled both widgets and camera and that was causing cLock to disappear every other time. Allowing widgets while disabling the camera eliminated the problem. Hope this helps others in the future!
Make sure you don't have two lockscreen clocks. If so, delete one.

I don't think I have two clocks. All I can find in the settings is the "Clock widget" in the Lock screen section which is what I want to use.
Any idea where I might have accidentally placed a second clock if that's the case? I didn't download any clock or calendar apps - I use the stock ones. I did restore a lot of stuff from Titanium backup on my old phone, but I clearly remember that system settings wasn't something I restored.
edit: I checked Titanium Backup and noticed that the "Clock" app (not the cLock app/widget) had been restored from my previous phone which ran CM10, not CM10.1. I remember that on CM10, the clock was right-justified, not centered, and that is what my 2nd screenshot (the scenario I want to get rid of) is showing.
Is it possible that I inadvertently restored the CM10 lockscreen clock from my old phone? I hope that doesn't mean having to wipe. I really can't find anything in the settings that might indicate the presence of more than one clock.
EDIT: SOLVED! It turns out that the Lockscreen Policy app was the culprit. I had disabled both widgets and the camera in Lockscreen Policy because I don't want people messing with my phone as a joke (otherwise what's the point of a PIN...). Re-enabling the widgets while keeping camera disabled solved everything. I confirmed that disabling widgets in Lockscreen Policy would immediately bring back this problem.
Tbh, I'd prefer having the old CM10 lockscreen, without those side widgets or the camera, and the ability to slide to a ring shortcut before bringing up the PIN

[Q] Lockscreen animations after 4.4.2 KITKAT update

Hello there!
My problem is rather aesthetic, but id like to sort it out.
When i had a jelly bean installed on my n9005 and used an "animated wallpaper" (Phase beam) on my Lockscreen i had a nice light effect while hovering my finger above the screen, followed by a nice sound while unlocking.
The funny part is that it dissapeared after update to 4.4.2. and i get that ugly white padlock with a white circle to mess with, like on the stock android .
(but only on the animated wallpaper, while on static one i can still use the ripple effect and ink effect if i like..)
(N9005XXUENB3_N9005OXXENB1_XEO to be exact)
is there a way to get that back? or maybe there is an option im missing out? (im having air functionality ON)
please help me if u can, as i loved the way it looked before, and i really want to get it back :fingers-crossed:

Nope that doesn't work. FRP bug in the build. Why do you want screenshots? It is the same UI as Oreo for the most part.

Nice bro and tanks for your answer, you receives the update or you download the update? If you download the update it's universal for any device?

Only thing that turns dark is the pulldown and it doesn't change anything else, not even the apps which support dark mode. You still ha have to manually change those.
