Did a quick google search an this seems to be something built into stock android,
long story short, before an update we could unlock directly to the pin screen, now we need to swipe then enter in the pin. Any work around?
Also Hi I'm TheOmNom, I work in celluar sales

I have been searching but have not come up with an answer. Is there a way to use numbers to unlock the phone instead up the pattern unlock?
thanks ,
Closest thing I know of on 2.1 is using the "pattern lock" buttons as "pins" you just press them instead of swiping.
DarchDroid has it.
On Froyo/CM6 there IS an option to use a number pad pin. So it depends on what to run
Thanks for the info. I am getting ready to flash CM6 rom.
does anyone know how exactly, when your phone is locked, to skip the left-to-right swipe and go directly to the unlock pattern?
Sometimes, when the screen is dark, and i press the options button, it goes right to the unlock pattern... but i can't figure out how to reproduce the behavior reliably.
thanks, guys!

NOT POSSIBLE, i want that too
well... thanks for the reply regardless. I don't know why it works every once in a while.
is not possible to have unlock pattern first.
Ok bad title i know, what im asking is is it possible to replace the use of PIN when i have the fingerprint scanner enabled? Currently if you have fingerprint scanner enabled it makes you use your PIN if you use not to swipe your finger.
I would love it if instead of PIN i could use the Visual Pattern. Idk how possible/not this is, but it would be great if able.

You can enable the pattern lock, by setting it. The secondary unlock method is determined by what the user set last (pattern/PIN).
I will try this thanks!
Awesome worked just as described.
Whoops - I misread the above post, but the same works. I had the same problem with the pattern lock, and ending up switching back to the PIN.
Thanks for the tip: worked beautiful!
PS I hate PINs
Anyone know of a simple way to add a screen lock to the Nexus player similar to a phone where you can enter a pin to gain access to the device? I see the parental controls, but that still allows you into the device. Would be cool to have face recognition or voice recognition to unlock nexus.
Thanks,
It really depends on whether the apis are there or not. Try side loading next lock screen
Love the fingerprint unlock locked-screen feature. However, it has it's drawbacks. Can only be activated via - PIN lock. How you set up a pin,and after that it gives you the option to use fingerprint as well.
My question is : how do i use fingerprint only!? No more pin just the finger.
Best part about fingerprint is that you don't have to use the physical button. if the screen is off / locked just hold finger and it opens.
Also. I am now using Action Launcher 3. Super launcher. But it does not allow the function to unlock via fingerprint. Does anybody know if this works ? Where is the setting ?
The pin is used to unlock your sim card, the fingerprint is used to unlock your phone's system. If you don't want any pin code, you can either remove the sim card (well, it will probably be a little bit annoying when you want to call someone ^^), or set the pin code to blank. I don't even know if this is possible, actually.
As phones usually ask pin code before system unlock (fingerprint or other), you probably cannot have a third app that would allow to use fingerprint as pin, as it would have to start before the system. Unless I miss an idea, I think you can't do what you ask.
Figured that it has an automated backup just in case the finger is not recognized . You either get the pin or the pattern. Never just the fingerprint. There is no way around this.
Another question: how do i get the list of apps to go in one single page. Right now With ZenUI launcher there are a few pages. Action launcher 3 has one page (option). ..Is there any way to do this with ZenUI ? I got back to the default launcher from Asus cuz of the fingerprint. it's kinda cool to have it. Even tho Action Launcher 3 is amazing.
What's the problem with Action Launcher? I'm using it with fingerprint unlock and it works just fine.

Clearly you only assumed things only from the setup screen.
OF COURSE in this phone we only use our fingerprint to unlock the screen. No buttons, No pins, No pattern.
If, that is IF, the phone can't recognize your fingerprint for 5 times in a row (because of wet finger, wrong position, dirty etc) it will then requires a pin or pattern unlock. This is why the setup ask you for your pin/pattern first.
