Since installing the latest version of Omega(v33) for the i9505 I've been unable to use a pattern lock screen, instead the option is grayed out like below
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I haven't encrypted my device and there isn't any administrator set
I've attempted to clear credentials like below, but after clearing credentials the button (clear credentials) doesn't go grey.
And still can't set a pattern lock screen as described earlier
What's going on? How do I fix?

Well it's an app or a setting that is causing it. But it's hard to say what is causing it.
My suggestion would be to do a full wipe. That would be the easiest method.
Agree with the wipe
In my experience, something in the framework or security settings can cause that. Full wipe and if you are running some kind of AOSP lockscreen disable it. Also watch out for xposed modules that are tweaking your lockscreen.

I had the exact same problem. Do you have an exchange email account for possibly work on your phone? The new upgrade will only allow for PIN or Password if you have an exchange account. I had a long, long wait with technicians before it was apparent.

Hi!
Does someone know for the application which could lock phone so others couldn't use it when you're not around?
User interface would be like lock of the safe.
Example:
This would me great.
i'd like too
s2u2 has a password lock on it so that even if someone soft resets your device, they can't access it without the password.
http://www.ac-s2.com
Throttlelock has a cool feature where you connect the dots in a certain pattern to unlock the phone. You can change the grid size, and of course the path to unlock the device.

I personally use S2u2 with no password set, but if theres a time I need to lock the phone from prying eyes, I can launch ThrottleLock manually.
I know about s2u2 and throttle launcher...they work nice but i would like safe looking user interface.
Then use the built in one.
Use it for years now. I made it lock the device after 5 minutes, so noone can use it even if I loose it once
Btw: The built-in one is the only one which locks at boot and also in a way it can't be unlocked without the password or hardreset (afaik)
Currently I am wondering if there is a way to disable the way the phone automatically locks the phone out via PIN code every time you hit the standby button, without disabling the unlock screen via slider function. So in other words the only way the phone will ask for an unlock code is when you first turn the phone on or when the time threshold in the security settings is reached.
The reason I am looking for this is because I have the phone recovery tool installed on my phone and I would like the ability to remotely lock the phone, however I don't want to have to input my PIN code EVERY time I put the phone into standy especially since I already have throttlelock installed on the device, but still want to retain the keyguard slider unlock function whenever the standby button is pressed.
Have you tried:
Settings
Security
Then input your desired settings?

Does anyone know why this is installed by default on jb 4.3? I came across it while browsing through the installed apps section in titanium backup. Google apps policy 4.25. If you look it up in the store its says its an administrator enterprise app. I'm assuming its part of the new security stuff in 4.3. Another strange thing is that its not enabled by default. It has some pretty wicked permission privlesges. I went ahead and froze it for now.

AFAIK it's only used if you have an account Google Apps For Business account. GAFB account admin can set up and force his employees to install this stuff on their devices in order to use their accounts at employers domain. You don't need to affraid - admin can only remove content connected with accounts he administrates, so [email protected] is still 100% private (yeah I know, Google and privacy... good joke ), but [email protected] can be controlled by him anytime and anywhere.
And yes - unfortunately employer can track you via GPS all the time, make fake calls (which turns volume to 100%, no matter what), wake up your phone, etc.
Summing: it's safe until your employer is not a dck.
P.S.:
You can track your device and make those fake calls too: https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager
Hi. I don't know if this is the correct section to post this. What I'm basically looking for is a way to stop the lock screen showing the "Enter Backup Password", and stop making it that little bit duller when on fingerprint mode.
I would like it if there was an option to make the screen exact same as the normal swipe lock, but not lock unless there's a fingerprint.
Does that make sense lol?

Wrong section...there is a Help section for question....
If I understood correctly, you wish to remobe the Backup password text as well as the dialer when you have fingerprint mode active?I don't think you can do that without root...
Hi,
is there some option which will leave phone unlocked for specific time after last use ? Like when I am in dark room face recognition does not work and I dont want to put finger or pattern everytime that message comes. IPhone has app called Mesalation for that and I am so used to it.
So basically I want to leave everything ON but I want to be without security stuff for a specific time every time after I lock the phone. Leaving screen on for specific time is not an option, I lock it everytime with a button.
Thanks
There is something like this in Settings>Lock Screen and Security>Secure lock settings. Uncheck Power button instantly locks and set auto lock delay to the amount you need.

Wow that was fast and accurate ! Bravo !
I have Croatian language on it so translation is in half the cases idiotic like this one. This phone has more options to set the phone for your needs than HTC U11 and iPhone 7 combined.
Thanks a lot !
