I've just updated Smooth Rom to 4.2.
On reboot my unlock pattern is 3x3 when originally 6x6.
Naturally I am now unable to unlock my nexus.
Is this know about and are there any easy solutions?
Many thanks for any help.

Sorry but I just have the 3x3 pattern and a star like shape at the bottom of the screen that I can drag to a white circle with google written on that does nothing so far!
Sorted it out by deleting the gesture key file using adb. Funny, there doesn't seem to be an option for a 6x6 unlock pattern now.

Maybe you fine people here at XDA can help me out. Got the latest CM and after setting my lock pattern the slide lockscreen disappears. Any idea how to get it back? Thanks in advance.

Disable the pattern. It only works with pin or nothing at all.
Hi All,
I finally made the jump and bought a Nexus 7 even tho we will most likely see a newer version in May. However it is still freakin awesome! I am running CM 10.1 nightly's but cannot expand the lock screen widgets. Is this possible? I love that new Dashclock widget for the lock screen but it will only show me two of my selected options before it cuts off because I am unable to expand the widget.
I use it on the Note 2 (also running CM10.1) and it works great. Anyone know something that I may have missed?
Thanks in advance
-Chris
I actually forgot how it's done. I remember I did it once on 4.2 but never again could I expand the widgets to maximum size again on 4.2.1 and 4.2.2
Hi there,
Have you tried Apex Launcher?
I dunno for sure, but maybe, and just maybe you can re-size and customize the lock screen widgets.
Hope this helps

I did! That's what I thought but looks like it's built into CM 10.1. but not in the grouper builds i guess.
Swipe down on the widget. From the clock

It doesn't behave the same way my Note 2 build does.Only thing I can do is delete or add widget. no re-sizing (that I can see or get to work) .
It really is strange then. Maybe if you pm your Rom dev for some q & a.

So I have preview messages in lock screen and status bar checked on. Why is it that when I click on the message in my lock screen this blank box appears that I can't do anything with? Never had so many questions about a phone considering I get so many a year. I've attached a picture for reference.

It's a built in function. For instance, once you click on the text, you swipe in the box below and your phone goes right to the text.

From what I've been able to tell, the swipe on that lock screen is actually a widget. The box that sometimes appears is the area where the swipe trail can be triggered.
Swipe down on the message notification, then you can click on the text message notification on the lockscreen.

that helps, although I dont see the point in bringing the box up. Not like it really matters where you swipe as it will unlock.

Its no unlocking the phone by swiping the box down. Its "enabling" the lockscreen text messaging widget that google implemented in 4.2, because by default samsung overrode the aosp lockscreen with its swip from anywhere.

So does that mean there's no way to get rid of this box that pops up?

That is correct, there is no way.
I guess it's been awhile since I used my s3 and it's just something I will get used to.
very simple to get rid of that box...... but it requires using a different messaging app that is the only way right now until roms are built
Is there any way to remove that? I just want to be able to switch it on and read without that stupid swipe to unlock "feature"!

Honestly Nookmanager is so easy anyone can use it. And from there it's simple to enable this option.
Hey guys!
I'm on CM 10.2 at the moment and was considering comparing the latest TW firmware. My biggest issue with TW in the past has been the inability to have multiple lockscreen widgets (and primarily a camera shortcut) while using a pattern lock.
Just wanted to know if that had changed with the release of 4.3 or if it's still the same?
Did a quick search but couldn't find anything conclusive.
If you're device is rooted! The just instal exposed framework! And download the module! Here it is works perfect!

Cheers mate.
I take it it's not officially supported in this update either then?
No it's not officially supported. I am not rooted but have got the functionality through the excellent widgetlocker.

Even with widget locker you can't access the camera without having to unlock the pattern lock though can you? Won't it just pop up the lock after selecting the camera shortcut in WL?

You can access the camera without unlocking. Just swipe right.

as far as i know its all the same, i use widgetlocker but in the short while i used stock it seemed the same as in 4.2
Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk
It really does work! Sweet!
Thanks guys!
When I first tried it I made a shortcut to the camera app. That doesn't work, you have to either swipe to the side or use the built in widget locker functions for a camera shortcut.
