[Q] ROMs S5 style - Unlock with PIN Password

Hi guys,
Recently i installed the ROMs Phoenix 9.4 and Imperium 10.0, both with S5 style. Both works fine, but one thing not. I configured a PIN Password in my phone, but after reboot the system, the unlock mode is set to Slide Unlock (without password), if i wait the screen turn off or lock the system and try unlock, then the PIN Password is required.
This happened in the two ROMs.
Have a way to fix it?
I would like the password was required at first, immediately after the system becomes available.
Sorry for my english, i wrote with some help of Google Translate.
Thanks!

Did you find a solution?
I have the same issue. It used to work but at some point a few ROMs ago t stopped working.
I was told it was the kernel but I have tried 4 and all with the same result, basically the PIN lock does not activate untill 30 seconds or so after the phone boots up.

No, I have not found a solution. A partial solution was to activate a Pattern Unlock.

Did you change the time for secured lock screen? Go to Setting>Lock screen and click on "Secured Lock Time." Change the setting to Instantly lock after screen off.

it is, but still not solved

Go into recovery mode and then perform "Clean Cache Partition"

i didnt mention a thing : when i wipe data+cache+dalvik.... the fingerprints stay even without samsung or google login

Solved: What to check if your unlocked bootloader became "permanently locked" again.

Hi,
My bootloader was suddenly locked again after
I had an unlocked single sim 6553, running E6533_32.1.A.1.185_R5C
The phone had survived several reboots and behaved well as a rooted phone.
As the phone was intended for my wife, I then did a factory reset and followed the wizard to copy her settings from her old phone and set it up,
I wanted to try out a battery saving app "2 Battery" with root access, but found that super-su wasn't there any more (assumed removed during factory reset).
Powered off phone at 30% battery intending to reboot into TWRP.
Phone would only boot into flash mode. I tried all possible button combinations and also tried fully charging. Phone was completely stuck.
As flash mode was allowed, I used FlashTool to re-flash all of E6533_32.1.A.1.185_R5C, using same image as before
Tried reflashing the patched kernel (as above) using fastboot, but got
"downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.523s]
booting...
FAILED (status read failed (No such device))"
Looking at the service menu security setting screen, I saw that the BL remote status was "Locked" with Allow unlock = "No"
I tried loading different roms, without wiping, all with same result and was about to wipe the phone...
Then I read in a BL unlock thread that you can't unlock the BL if "Find My Xperia" is ON!
So I turned it OFF and Hey Presto!
Status is now unlocked again!
If anyone else has similar problems, I advise to check this setting first. I could save you a lot of time and trouble!!

Remove swipe to unlock, having pattern to unlock

Hey,
This "feature" is from Android, but having pattern to unlock the phone, why I have to swipe to unlock to see the pattern to unlock the phone? :silly:
Any hack for this?
