I am interested if there is any app that allows me to toggle between different lock screen methods. I prefer none at home, slide at work, and fingerprint in all other circumstances. It is annoying to enter settings menu every time I have to switch. I was able only to toggle between none and a single lock mode. I need to be able to toggle between multiple lock methods. Any ideas are appreciated.

I have Cyanogen 7.03, and I have enabled a 4 digit pin in "Location & Security settings". The pin works fine, but I don't need the unlock slider anymore. At present time the unlock slider comes on, and then the pin. I am trying to figure out how to disable the slider but leave the pin screen enabled.
The best I have been able to figure out is to enable "trackball unlock" with "disable unlock slider" option in Cyanogen Lockscreen settings. I can double click the trackball to unlock, but since the slider is gone and the slider screen remained (it just shows the current time) the power button can't get past this time screen, forcing me to unlock with the trackball, but lock with the power button.
Interestingly, if I enable pattern lock instead of the the pin lock then the "slide to unlock" screen goes away, which is exactly what I need to happen when PIN lock is enabled. Can this be done?
Can someone help with this please?
Easy, settings<cyanogenmod settings<tablet tweaks<disable lock screen

Actually I'm not absolutely sure this is what you need but let me know
Edit: that doesn't work, it disables the pattern screen as well

It disables the pin screen as well, so that doesn't work.
Well I hope you find a solution. I was having that problem and ended up using an application lock app instead

Thanks. I switched to using a pattern lock in the mean time. It's not a bad alternative. What application did you switch to?
removing slider for only PIN entry
settings-lockscreen-unlock options-disable unlock slider
choose trackball unlock or menu unlock for the option to appear.
Hi guys
I realised everytime we off the screen, and when we turn it back on, no matter how long, the lock screen will be activated. And i cant find a option to set a time before it locks.
Any help on this? Im on stock rooted KF1

If let the screen turn off instead of lock then the lock after time setting in the settings is vaild. However if you lock the screen then thus setting is bypassed and the unlock screen will be shown after you unlock the phone. I use delaylock from the market to bypass this and have the lock screen disbaled for my custom amount of time no matter how the display goes off.

Sounds right. It isn't free.

Use no-lock to bypass the lock screen. Its best and free.
Market link - https://market.android.com/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock
widgetlocker is a good alternative, isnt free but loads of great options.
Guys up till now are there any apps or settings accessible so when i press the power button to off the screen but still doesnt lock it?
Tried widgetlocker alrdy but no such option
I dun mean bypass password screen btw.

Is it possible to have both a swipe lock and a pin lock? I want to have a pin lock if the phone hasn't been used or unlocked for 30 minutes and a swipe lock to avoid accidentally unlocking the phone. The pin lock is a requirement for accessing a corporate Exchange account.
It worked on my old Nexus One with CyanogenMod 7.2. But I haven't figured it out on my Nexus 4 with CyanogenMod 10.1 nightly
I'm sure this would be possible using tasker if you have any experience with that app. In fact tasker allows you to pin lock only certain applications which may come in handy for you. You should look it up if you haven't heard of it before.

I was able to set a pin lock with Tasker using Secure settings. But I'm not sure what will happen if I disable the pin lock and switch to Swipe lock a hundred times a day. Perhaps the corporate security admin will wipe my phone :silly:
Could it be solved by using another lock screen than stock?

Installing Widget Locker solved my problem :good:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker
Switch between swipe and pin (or pattern)
Has anyone found a possible solution?
I LOVE swipe lock, dashclock, and quick apps etc. But at work, I would prefer a pin. When I don't want the pin anymore, instead of diabling a lock screen all together, how can I set it to revert back to a swipe lock screen?
***side note unrelated (don't hate me) ****
share a related thread?
I have been searching forever for a way for Tasker to realize im driving and change settings etc because Im going say 20mph (even just for a few seconds) would indicate that I am likely driving.
*********thanks for not hating me***************
Here are some resources for lock screens:

Thanks!
IDEA: at location 1 --> enable pin at location 2--> disable pin
A toggle as listed above for random situations like a baseball game etc.
I hate pattern or code to unlock phone unless I'm out in public. Is there an app or widget that allows you to just press a button or two to switch these. So when I leave the house I can tap once or twice and switch from a no security swipe to unlock to a preset pattern or code?

Tried Tasker?
Look up app "Skiplock". When connected to wifi, the lockscreen will be just stardard swipe. When wifi is disable or wifi connection is lost (i.e, leaving home), the lockscreen will automatically turn to pin / password lockscreen. Root required for a pattern lockscreen. Finger scanner currently not compatible.

Which, unless OP has a rooted Dev S5, the app you mentioned is not a viable option.

OP asked for code or pattern lockscreen. I said that code (pin / password) lockscreen works, but only pattern requires root.
So I usually can figure out just about anything. But I can't find an app to turn my screen off without using the power button to save it without it requiring me to enter a pin after I use my finger print.
I am currently using Nova Launcher with the Double Tap to turn the screen off and it too requires a pin on unlock. Is there any work around this?
I'm using Stock+ by Tupac4u, not the N Preview.
Thanks!

I went through that too. Greenify has a setting that allows holding the home button to shut the screen off that works without a PIN to unlock. Some kernels have a swipe navbar feature that can be turned on with ex kernel manager. But currently I am using Ressurection Remix which allows programming long presses on the navbar. I believe Pure Nexus has a built in setting like this also.
GMD GestureControl (play store) works fine (root)
You guys are the BEST! Thanks a Lot!

Use the root option built into Nova. It will turn the screen off without locking it.
I'm using Nova's double tap to run a Tasker task to run a shell command "input key event 26" to turn the screen off. Then Franco Kernel's double tap to wake option to turn the screen back on.

Why just why the complications... in Nova launcher you got double tap to screen lock option and once you do the same first time.. it asks for the normal method and root.. with root you don't see the pin or pattern screen.. with normal you do...
If you are rooted you should be good to go with that..
