I always hate that swipe to enter your pin thingy, always disabled it on my other devices. So stupid to have to double unlock a device.
How can I get rid of it on the S8?
1) You can try going into settings>lock screen & security and set screen lock type to None.
2) Additionally you can enable Unlock with Home button in display>navigation bar settings and if you just press Home button, it will go to home screen(if you have no lock set)
3) Why not add a fingerprint(s) and just put your finger on it and it will take you directly to home screen.

Hi, is there a way or an app I can use to trigger the device lock manually? I don't mean the simple lock where the screen is disabled. I want the windows lock screen with the password. I set the device to lock after 1 hour of inactivity but I want a way to manually trigger it anytime.
You can use the lockscreen app here and set to lock on Suspend. Then pushing the power button will lock.
Alternatively, you can set the Call End key to activate the lock, so a long press on End will also lock the device. Go to Settings\Personal\Buttons and go the End Key tab and choose appropriate setting.
Thanks for the reply. I tried the End Key but it only works if you disable the auto-lock when inactive setting. And when it works, it only does a screen lock without the PIN entry. I would like to lock the screen with the pin entry
Basically, I wrote a private app that generates a different hex number each time it's run, and you have to use a certain algorithm to determine the answer, then input it in binary with a mini-keypad and press the unlock button. That way I can just show anyone what I'm putting in because if they get the phone, they can't use the same code unless the same random number is the same (its seed changes based on currentTimeMillis() / 1000L) Anyway what is the easiest way to make this Activity launch like the regular pattern lock when I turn on screen? also I don't have a lockscreen by default, not an issue. It has to prevent pressing home/back and has to launch without any delay. thanks
doctor there's a bump in my thread what should I do
this is a very good question
the closest i came to finding an answer was the android lock screen src
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=pl.../internal/policy/impl/LockScreen.java;hb=HEAD
Yeah, I cloned the entire source, but it was way too complicated for me to find what I needed. Also, what is the difference between these 4 things?
Keyguard - ?
Lock screen - the screen that has the 'slide to unlock' widget depending on your phone/rom
Unlock screen - the screen where you draw pattern, pin, password, etc.
Wake [lock] - ?
I only have 4 softbuttons, volume +/-, and power on my device, and only power makes the screen come on, which shows WidgetLocker then the pattern screen. Both of which hide the softbuttons unless I hold down power, then it shows power off, airplane, and silent options and the softbuttons panel pops up. This doesn't allow me to press home to bypass pattern/widgetlocker, thankfully.
Halp my thread seems to have a case of severe bumpitis. Is it lethal?
How do you make the home screen automatically lock so when you press the power button a fingerprint shows on the bottom of the screen so you have to either use your fingerprint or swipe up on the screen and put in a pattern to open the phone?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Settings > Security > More lockscreen settings
Is it possible to get the phone to go straight to the screen with the pattern lock instead of having to swipe up beforehand?
There's an Xposed module that does it
I noticed that if I press the home button to wake up the phone, it'll go straight to the pattern unlock screen.
Hi, im starting to use smart lock to use wifi/bt device to unlock my phone (LineageOS 17.1)
works great, but it unlocks to the lock screen, so a swipe is needed. is there a way to unlock directly to home screen when a smart lock device is connected, while keeping the lock screen when no device is connected (default behavior)?
if i enable "unlock directly to the home screen" in the options, power button goes directly to the numpad for unlocking, instead of the default notifications lock screen
i would like to keep the lock screen with notifications but unlock directly to homescreen with smartlock. it is possible?
thanks in advance!
