[Q] Lockscreen ?!?! - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Is there anyway to get/flash a 4.2.2 lock screen without Samsung retarded customizations? I want one like on my rootbox rom where I could have widgets and a pin code set up. I do want to keep my current rom, and all the other Samsung stuff for now... is that possible?

You can change it a little if, while the lock screen is up, push and hold then slide down until the box appears. Tap the pen in lower right and ...profit

Default Slider Lock Vanished

I have posted this before a couple of days back on another thread so sorry.
Just wanted to know if there is a reg key that i can modify to get HD2 slider lock back.
A little background to the problem, i installed Cookies Home tab and now my slider lock is gone(the one that comes default with HD2). It may not be related to CHT as the folks on the other thread suggest. when i try the soft key lock button on right hand side bottom it used to lock my phone and i had to unlock it using the slide lock. Now it still gets locked but the home screen still remains and an unlock shows up at the bottom left hand side, which on tapping presents me with an ugly out of the place unlock screen and on tapping it again i am able to unlock it.
I am tempted to do a hard reset coz i like the default slider lock, however i want to give in to tweaks and try things before jumping for the extreme. Any suggestions/ bright ideas appreciated.
Thanks
P.S. I tried S2U2 but i kinda miss the default one and uninstalled it.
Sorry guys i figured out what was wrong and i have the default slider lock back!
the reason it was disabled was, my setting> lock > display was set to windows classic.
I changed it to windows default and the lock is back.
Thanks.

[Q] anyway to turn off the screen but delay the locking of the phone?

I would like to set a password/pin lock on my phone. but i haven't done so because it's annoying having to re-enter it every time i wake up the phone. I don't mind the downward swipe to unlock the phone too much. I'd prefer keeping that as opposed to forgetting to enable it and accidentally turning on the phone in my pocket.
But a pin/password etc lock i only want to kick in after the phone has been idle X minutes. This way if i am texting with someone i dont have to keep re-entering the password every minute.
I know this has been asked before. I looked around and found one or two apps that sorta do it but seem to have bugs.
Anyone know of an app that will do this?

Cyanogenmod my friend.
CM 6.1 RC2... It's built in. You can set it from 15second to 30minutes.
Good Luck.

i don't really want to have to go to a new rom just for this feature. Although that is a very cool feature to have.
It seems like most of the screen toggles, delays, and controls stopped working with froyo.
It's not quite what you want but you can get some control with "No Lock". No Lock toggles the pattern on and off - when it's off you can use power or volume to activate the phone. I toggle it off when I'm at home and turn it back on when I leave.
Another useful tool is "Lock screen widget" - it let's you lock or turn off the screen by tapping the widget. I find it much simpler that hitting the power button.
actually, i feel like an idiot. The rom i use already had this feature in there. I just didn't see it because it doesn't become visible until after you set a password. And i never bothered setting a password because i didn't want to set one until i could control when it kicked in.
Although this really sounds like a feature that should basically be standard with android.
On a sense rom, go to settings/security and then u will see a option "lock phone after". Change to the desired preset time and your set. Like if u select ten minutes, the phone will lock after ten minutes of the screen being off.

yea this is a standard andrid feature no ened to switch to CM for this. Its funny i love CM but a lot of people just take it to far lol. I see the same switch to CM posts all the time for standard run of the mill on every rom feeatures .
CM rocks but for those using it and keep telling every one to switch learn the features it ACTUALLY provides that arent provided by eveyr other rom. There are several really great ones.

[Q] Force-Disable Rotation-Lock from lockscreen?

Ok... So, is there anyway to force rotation-lock to turn off on a Nexus 7 with Android 4.2.2?
Reason: I cracked my screen from the bottom left of the screen to just shy of the top right corner. The lower section, below the crack, is not responsive to touch... and the dots I need (I use the pattern pass) are on this side because I can't flip the tablet.
How This Happened: I turned on rotation lock with the tablet upside down to keep it there... But then my Nexus 7 decided to restart randomly and keep rotation-lock on but coming back in the default orientation, aka the wrong way that I need it to be.
So, can anyone help?

40 people, no help...
Well, if anyone knows how to:
a.) bypass a pattern lock
b.) backup a Nexus 7 without a pass
c.) Just plan force the rotation-lock off
You should be able to reset lock pattern, as if you forgot it, supposed you know your google account password.
Then you can draw a new pattern not using the bottom dots.
What mttca said.
Probably the easiest way. Just put in the incorrect password enough and I think a "forgot password?" dialogue or something like that pops up and it asks you to manually sign into your Google account you have associated with the Nexus 7. It should then have you reset your password or something like that.

[REQ] Two-way slide screen lock

Hi guys,
I got CM10.1 VJ 6.1 (Android 4.2.2) on my Desire.
Recently I started to look for a screen lock, that would be the same style as the default one in this ROM (pretty much an ICS/JB default style), and would unlock the device after sliding in two ways - for example, I press the power button, the lockscreen appears, I slide on it upwards, and then back downwards, and the device unlocks. Same for sliding right, and then back left (and so on). An animation is optional, but not essential. Is there anything that could suit my needs?
The reason I want this is that with the default slide unlock I'm getting some weird pocket unlocks, and the pattern unlock sometimes gets frustrating. I don't want my device to unlock in my pocket, but I still want to have a quick way to fire it up when needed.
Cheers.
PS Sorry if I missed a thread about the same thing, I searched a few times and found no good results.

Disable "second" lock screen in EUI

I hate lock screens so I disable them. If the fingerprint reader were better I'd seriously consider using it to unlock the phone, but it isn't.
My problem now is the "second" lock screen on this phone. Not sure if this is an andorid thing or an EUI thing, since I haven't used android 6.0+ before.
Essentially, I need my home screen to appears when I click the power button. Is that possible? If so, what setting am I missing to disable this screen with the time and camera icon on it?
What is this SECOND LOCK SCREEN?
What issues are you having with Fingerprint? Mine has worked flawlessly.
You have already disabled the block screen on the phone?

So it turns out its just the regular lock screen. The best I can seem to do is set the auto-lock to 30 minutes - this is the maximum time out. This is better, but I want NO lock screen. Does anyone know if this is possible? Some setting I am missing?
I dunno about the fingerprint reader. I'm no apple fan boy but I have to use one for work, and the fingerprint reader on apple devices is far superior, so I'm spoiled with my expectations. The better solution for me is to just get rid of the lock screen.

Ahem the FP of Le Pro 3 or any Android phone out there is far superior because you can unlock the phone even if the screen is off.
Can't find a setting either; if set to none you still have to slide up the lock screen. Other phones I've had remove it all together if set to none.
Finger print sensor on mine seems fine, so i just use that.
Freezing 'System Interface 6.0.1' in Titanium gets rid of lock screen, but has some serious side effects.

This worked for me:
After pressing Power or scanning Finger Print the ``Second Lock Screen´´ pops up, don´t slide to unlock or press any of the icons or ads, instead look for three little pale white dots on upper left corner of display, (they are hard to notice with some wallpapers, specially the included on the phone wallpapers) almost like the ones in some browsers to deploy a menu, press that, and the Locker app should pop up asking you if you want to disable it, press Disable and that should do it!
If you can´t see them try setting a lock screen wallpaper that has solid dark colors on the upper part of the screen.
I don't understand the problem but I've been using this for 1 year
