Hey guys,
I am using device encryption on my Note3 with CM11.
I am forced to use pin/pattern unlock, but I really dont need it, because I use encryption for other reasons.
I think, there is probably a workaround to change security policy for srceen unlock, but I havent find it yet, can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
Mojo

Hi guys, so ive had a couple roms in the past on my nexus 6p like pure nexus which i believe kept the encryption of my phone and i very much loved that.
I am now on megapixel rom and when i set the rom up it never asked me if i wanted pin on startup i love the pin on startup AND the pin on TWRP and it decrypts data after the pin only! I would like to encrypt my phone again, how do i do that?
Could someone please guide me on the procedure?
Thank you IN ADVANCE!!!
AFAIK, you just go to Settings / Security / Encryption / Encrypt Phone.
If it says Encrypted under it, you're good to go. If you're encrypted and it isn't asking you for PIN on boot, certain accessibility services will disable the pin on boot.
I flashed March Update with MiFlash Clean all and Lock but I'm able to unlock the bootloader again with the developer settings disabled, that is a big security risk because someone with physical access to the device will be able to unlock the bootloader without permission and maybe decrypt personal data.
I have also noticed similar behavior recently. Great that issue is not specific to me only. Bad it exists.
Trying to help out a family member. She setup a pattern on her phone and forgot it....
Google search returns "dr.fone" but when installed it only shows options till GS3 IIRC
Samsung find my mobile doesn't help as location is off
She has no backup and doesn't sync with Google Photos.
Any idea how to remove the pattern and retain the data?
if you set pattern only to unlock the phone then there is no chance you forget pattern i am using finger,pattern & iris to unlock my S8+ there is no way to unlock your phone without correct pattern factory reset is only option to unlock if FRP ia not On

i've read that there is a way to sideload other firmware, like in videos such as below (xda wont let me post video because i'm new), but search for "ALL SAMSUNG WITHOUT DATA LOST Remove Pin,Pattern,Password In FRP ON,OEM Mode Part 2 to Part 18"
anyone know how to do this for s8+ ?

Hi,
I tried to change the pattern of my device, it seems that I didn't set what I thought and now that I restarted my system, the device (Android 7) is asking my for a pattern to let me turn it on, that I don't know.
Of course I'm the owner from this device, with my Google account and everything but I made a misstake and I don't know how to fix it.
What are my options now?, Should I restart the device with recovery options, wiping data user and that or what do I need to do?
Regards in advance.
Do you by any chance have TWRP installed? If so, there are certain files you can delete to remove the pattern.
Try it enough times and it should offer to unlock another way, then use your Google account.
And don't use pattern unlock... PIN an fingerprint are fine.
Hi
Does this device have encryption? It has the option but when you press it it doesn't do anything, is it always encrypted? I thought you needed a password/pin to unlock when a device is encrypted? I tried creating one and still didn't give me any more options.
Thanks
