lock screen using a softwere button - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi Everyone
im using nova launcher and i want to use nova action widget to lock screen and as you know this action needs the administrative Permissions to be activated for nova
So why if I used this feature phone forces me to use pattern instead of finger print? simply when i put my finger on the sensor screen lights up leading me to the pattern screen
any ideas to have this feature without losing the use of finger print ?
thank you

[REQ + Q] Stealth Pattern Lock Screen? Or Trailless Patterns?

I use the pattern lock method and was wondering if there is one, or if someone can develop one where it doesn't show the trail as you move between the dots. I find that when it shows that trail, anyone within 15 feet can see your lock pattern.
So a mod where it's exactly the same Pattern Lock feature but without any green trails.
Or better yet, a completely invisible Pattern Lock screen!
I couldn't find anything on Market.
Wow I rock. Uncheck "Use visible pattern" in settings and that answered 1/2 my question.
With some of the custom roms like cm7 you can disable any sort of unlock widget and use a gesture to unlock. You can build any gesture you want. Swirls, squares, zig zags.
So when you go to your unlock screen it just has an empty screen with your background and you swipe around and unlock

Lock screen widget?

Anybody got any idea?

Swipe the clock widget to the right, then swipe back to the clock/unlock screen. Then you will be able to long-press on the clock and remove it. Then you'll see 'tap to add widgets' and you can choose the calendar.
Yeah, Ive tried that, It just does this lol.
Try it without Knock Code (with swipe).
Yip, Tried that ... Same thing ..
Trying to work out what the arrow at the bottom is for, it dont see to do anything.
I never even used to have the knock knock cope option, I updated my phone via the support tool, I have the knock know code but cant change the lock screen widget. I mean even when im on the lock screen i used to be able to swipe right to start the camera and now i cant even do that.
I'm thinking something has been changed in the update, Can anybody on the same build as me confirm they can still swipe from the lock screen to start the camera app and change lock screen widgets? ... Its definitely different than before.
Try using swipe lock screen and lock your device. Then wake the device. Swipe down on the clock. Then press and hold the widget. You should then have the ability to remove it. If you have no other lock screen widget, you will end up with a huge + giving you the option to add another widget. If this doesn't work (it should), reboot and try again.

It wont budge, Before if i had a pin code at the lock screen set i could just swipe the pin code area down, It then ask me for my pin, I could then long press the clock and a option to "remove" would be at the top of my screen, When the widget area was blank i would see a large + sigh, I could tap this and be given a number of widgets i could put there!
The clock just wont budge now no matter what i try!
Same Deal Here
Ever since the update, it seems I can't remove the default clock widget either. Swiping down does bring up the arrow (just as it used to) but it won't stay on long enough to long press the clock (as soon as you take your finger off it goes back to normal). I'm going to do some experimenting with WidgetLocker, see if I can't get it back to where I want it (obviously figuring this out would be ideal, but I'm starting to wonder if it's possible anymore. I've seen articles about enabling widgets, but haven't found what they're telling me to look for).
Edit: Got it figured out. It turns out I had somehow turned off the lockscreen widgets & disabled the feature through Secure Settings.

Don't know if you've been back to this thread but changing Secure Settings settings worked for me.

You get the bubble effect when touching the lock screen only if you don't have any security on the lock screen. So if you use Finger Scanner, or Pattern or Pin etc on the lock screen, then the bubble effect is switched off.
Go test it out, try setting "Swipe" to unlock, bubble effect will return.
ok will try this option thankyou for the tip sir.

Fingerprint reader to unlock & display notifications

I'm on the latest RR, 5.3.8. Finger print function works, but there's no addition settings available to do other things once the phone is unlocked (gravitybox added some additional functionality, but no xposed in 7).
I've tried several apps that let you configure additional functions to the finger print once unlocked. The entry i'm using is 'toggle notifications'. This works, but seems to add significant lag when unlocking the phone, requiring at least 2 taps to unlock.
Any thoughts or suggestions for achieving this? Ideally it'd be nice to do a slow double tap - first to unlock, second to toggle the notification without having to move my finger from the back to the front.
hello try to download the NExt lockscreen in Play store..work wonders for me...
Is this app similar to widget locker from years past?
I don't know if I want a full blown lock screen replacement. When I did have widgetlocker instsalled, i used the same apps as were on the home screen. Layout was very similar. Really all I want to do is use the fingerprint reader as another button. It's far more convenient to tap it once unlocked than to move fingers to the front of the phone to swipe the status bar down.

Fingerprint with Swipe screen lock

Is there a mod or method to enable the fingerprint scanner with the Swipe screen lock? I want to use my fingerprint to wake and unlock my phone while still using the Swipe style lock screen (no pin or pattern).
