I'd like to build a custom screen unlocker with my own unlock method (no sliding). I have different ideas, so let's just assume I'd like to reimplement the 4 digit pin unlock method at first. I've found some hack solutions, which open an app on pressing the power button. But they can't disable the home key, so I can access the phone without knowing the pin number. Some other sources claim, it's not possible without writing a custom loader. So how come, there are so many apps on the store that offer exactly this feature? Can someone please direct me in the right direction?
Here's a quick tutorial on the lockscreen and modding it https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...9tYXP_u6bjzJIbTAg&sig2=cB_b61mZVFOpOScg_w31Bw

hi guys, i can't seem to find the settings that would unlock the phone as soon as you enter the pin without punching the enter/return key. sort of like the iphone. once it recognizes the correct pin, it just unlock the phone.
thanks

I don't believe Moto stock has it -- it's a Cyanogenmod feature, and there may be an xposed add-on that may do the same thing (requires root though).
As pinoymutt said, that isn't the way stock Android works. You have to press the enter key on a stock, non-rooted Android device. If you root, you can get any xposed module that allows a 'quick unlock', which bypasses the enter key as soon as the right PIN is entered. It's also a feature on some ROMs, but not on bone stock Android. I wish it was though, I'm using a pattern unlock solely because of this.

Gravity xposed module has this feature
I just want to root my phone and stay on stock rom, but according to the guide I will need to enable OEM Unlock, which asks me for an unlock code. How do I acquire that code (if any vendor sells it please PM me)? Thanks.
Toggling "OEM Unlock" in Developer Options asks you for an unlock code? This is the first I'm hearing of this. What software version are you on?
I'm on 6.0.1. I have actually tried many different things since the post. I followed this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/wip-axon-7-root-bootloader-unlokced-t3441204) and right now I have a partial root that allows me to do some stuff, but not others. For example AdAway can't change the host file and I can't change the permission of it either.
Not Android version, I mean the build version. It starts with A2017U, and there are numbers and letters after it.
As for making changes, you need to disable system write protection. Check Step 8 in this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/newbies-guide-to-unlocking-rooting-axon-t3496234
It is probably asking for your lockscreen unlock code. I had to use my pattern unlock to ok my choice to enable unlock.
There is no need to request any unlock code in any case. Just follow one of the many guides here. eg. http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-stay-t3461165
Coming from GNote 3, totally new to LG devices.
Locked Verizon G6 V988T has Google FRP lock, trying to remove it.
After going through frp unlock process and getting to file manager, bringing up settings I am getting a reduced version of settings. Options are wifi and data only; and if you click more there's only bluetooth and hotspot. And that's it. So I have no way of enabling install from unknown sources, so that I can install slide.
When I use the other method where in chrome you search for a business number, hit call and it brings up the dial pad so that you can dial service menu, there's no response. Even dialing imei does not bring the imei ID number. Seems this is disabled too.
I have no idea what software version is installed currently but it seems those two options/routes have been disabled/blocked. So my thinking is to downgrade to 7.0, follow the FRP unlocking procedure. Then install TWRP, root it.
I cannot properly ID the correct older kdz file for this phone.
1-Can you guys confirm if my steps are the way to go in order to be able to unlock frp, and,
2-a link to the correct kdz version for this phone?
Took a while/couple of tries but mission accomplished.
Good day
i come to you with a story that many of you might have heard,
Good friend of mine passed away last weekend in a motorbike accident his funeral was today 11/17/2018
His wife asked me today if i can help remove the Patten lock of his phone as she wants to get the photos of the daughters play of the phone
she knows his Patten lock for all of his other phone but this one is different for some reason, because she knows everything the steps i have tried is as followed
1. Samsung account to remotely unlock the device ( S8 was not registered with the account ) only the S4 that was stolen many years ago
2.Google find my device i don't see an option there
3.looked thru all 5 email account including the outlook account nothing there ( We played online together as well)
things i know because i have been at this all day
( I have Googled this ) all my phones are rooted and have a custom recovery
His phone was never Rooted, no custom recovery, i highly doubt he had OEM unlock usb debugging etc
please can someone point me i the right place or help me if its even possible
thanks all for taking the time to read this
PS. The lock Screen does not have a option to use the gmail via recovery, again thank you all
Go into download mode (vol down, bixby and power on at the same time) to check if he really never had OEM unlocked.
It's a worth try it.
If he had, you could easily flash TWRP and recover the files.
If not it's a tough nut to crack.
I will brainstorm a little bit.

Thanks for the quick reply i have done that, OEM is locked
Okay then, we need a different angel of view.
Did you try common numbers out of his life?
Such as birthdates, special events from children/wife, banking pin, something like this?
The other method would be to reflash the firmware via odin, unlock OEM, flash TWRP and then recover the pictures with DiskDigger Root Access.
The problem in this method is, that it isn't guaranteed that it works.
I consider this as the last chance, if everything else fails.
You wrote that you don't have any restore options in pin menu.
Is there anything else that could help or that you can tap?
Any Options or so?
A diagnose from far away is not that accurate of course and really would like to help.
I have this phone and forgot the pattern now I cannot unlock it. It is already on my google account from before it was locked but it looks like there is no way to unlock it without the correct pattern. I tried google's device manager but I don't see any unlocking options although it does locate it and I can make it ring. Is there a way to root this phone over adb and then remove or change the pattern lock?
