clean "swipe" lockscreen with pattern-lock beneath it?

Alright, before i had restored and flashed goldeneye 4.3 rom, i was rooted 4.2.2 stock. i had it set so that my phone wouldnt technically lock (via the pattern lock) until 5 min after the phone was idle. thus if i were to let my screen sleep, or tap the power button my phone would unlock through the unsecured swipe method within that 5 min window. ...
now since i flashed 4.3 goldeneye im not sure if its me or the rom but i cant duplicate however i enabled that feature before:silly:
ive tried playing with settings>display>screen timeout, but upon hitting the home, itll just bring up the screen from where it was rather going to its default "swipe" lockscreen. Im also running "gotya!" security app, and i want to have the pattern lock enabled for that reason. any ideas or recommendations? i really enjoy hitting my home button and seeing a clean lockscreen picture but then having the security beneath it:good:

Assuming your on stock 4.2.2 TW it should be Settings --> My Device --> Lock Screen --> Secured Lock Time
If your on a custom ROM it should be in Settings --> Lock Screen --> Secured Lock Time
I imagine yours is currently set to "Instantly with the power key or when the screen times out" if you move it to 5 minutes it should do what I understand your wanting. The phone will lock with a pattern after 5 minutes of inactivity, but will unlock by a general swipe if used before that threshold is passed.

heres what ive tried and all my rom enables, settings--screen lock/pattern-- "lock automatically--1 minute
with this setting i used to be able to lock with the power key, and if i would then wake the screen, within that 1 min window, 4.2.2 would prompt me to the nice simple unsecured swipe lockscreen. but now 4.3 will instantly "pattern lock" it....and lets say i uncheck that "lock instantly with power key" box, ill sleep the screen w the power key, go to wake it and itll open up right to where i left it bypassing any lockscreen or swipelock

Better yet, can we do it for not just patter but even with a passcode.
When you want to have work email most companies want to have Administrative policies enabled forcing use to at least have a pin for security.
Any way even with a AOSP or new TW 4.3 custom roms we could without creating a passcode I think a pattern would be enough.

Odd, I don't know how to help any further then what I posted above. Hopefully someone else can solve your problem. Best of luck! I'm curious myself now.

figured its the rom, im using widgetlocker now, and completely removed all its icons and enabled "back button unlock" feature while keeping the stock pattern lock behind it. same concept but im running an app to compensate

Awesome, glad you where able to get it to work!

[Q] Disable swipe lock, even when using another lock screen?

I use the PIN lock security. When I turn off the option "Power button instantly locks", and when I power on and off my device within the "Security lock timer" interval, the swipe to unlock screen is presented.
"Power button instantly locks", when I disable that, I don't want ANY LOCK SCREEN until I'm past the "Security timer interval."
Can someone please help? I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants this. I'm on the latest Verizon stock, rooted, with a few mods.
Many kind thanks.

Fingerprint Scanner uses

Really liking the fingerprint scanner and it's position on the Mi A1 - much better than the one under the power button on my former Sony phone
That said, i'm wondering if there is a way to make it lock the phone as well as unlock - I like being able to use it as the swipe for notifications, but would be great to Unlock -> swipe (see notifications) -> hold for locking...
Thoughts!?

Did u even Google and try before asking? This was my first hit. https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...anner-do-almost-anything-with-tasker-0175015/

Thanks. So what happens when my banking app wants my fingerprint and I have that set up?

Should work, just don't press it to long. You should be able to set a custom delay before screen off.

So I can't make this work. Tasker seems to have two options System Lock or Lock. Lock is some kind of manual lock screen, so seems System Lock would be what I want.
However, System Lock seems to be a core level lock that then doesnt allow me to unlock with fingerprint, but needs the pattern...
Is there some other option I'm looking for here?

Screen off? Device should autolock itself seconds later.

Doesnt seem to be a screen off option, only change the display timout (min 7 seconds, so that wont work)

How to instantly lock Nokia 5 without using power key

Hi everyone,
I have recently been facing problem while locking and unlocking Nokia 5 (Android 7.1.2). I have used "Screen Lock & Off" to instantly lock Nokia 5 without using power key. As I hate using power key every time. But while unlocking with fingerprint, it ask me to enter PIN/password (whichever is used) every time. I dig out the problem and found that its security issue whenever we use third party lock screen app, this will happen.
My question/request is that "Is there any way I can instantly lock Nokia 5 without using Power Key?" like "Screen Lock & Off" does. Or I have to go as it is by entering PIN/password every time (which is too annoying ofcourse ).

Did you find a way to solve this problem?

1. You can use Nova launchers double tap to sleep future. There are two options and if you use the correct one it lets you to open the lock screen by finger print, it does not require the pin every time.
2. Option is to use Greenify. This only works if you assign the long pressing the hone screen for Greenify. This has two options for locking the screen too, you need to choose the correct one.

How to bypass lock screen when trusted with smart lock?

Is there a way to bypass the lock screen when using smart lock when trusted? What I want to do is double top on the AOD screen which then takes me directly to the home screen and NOT the lock screen where I have to swipe in again. Any ideas?

I have also been looking for a solution to this. While I have not been able to completely bypass the lock screen here is a workaround which minimizes when the lock screen appears.
Settings --> Lock screen --> Secure lock settings --> Lock automatically I increased the time from 5 seconds to 30 Minutes (which is the maximum value)
When away from my trusted places I use the power button which locks my phone immediately based on the 'Lock instantly with power key' setting
Hope this helps

I used Gravity Screen for this purpose a few years ago. I don't know if it works with this phone but you can try it out.
I also is able to turn on your screen as soon as you pick it up. And bypass your lockscreen ofc.
