Hi all
Just got me new Essential phone and need a little help.
1) Is there an easy way to change the horrible hollow letter font to something less crap?
2) Is there a way to turn off the lock options (pin, password, pattern etc) only keeping the fingerprint reader?
Thanks
You need a second or back up pattern, pin or password if fingerprint fails. So no.

Where can I find out get other options?
Not sure what "password inf fingerprint" means.

Typo.
You cant have only the fingerprint reader, a pattern, pin or password is needed to use the fingerprint reader.
Ok thanks.
Do you know how/where I can get a different font?

Hi,
Just wondered, is there a way to have a pin on the galaxy s, but also still get the lock screen before the pin screen appears.
At the moment i found a nice lockscreen, had it all set how i like it, but then when i set a pin code i only get a pin screen when i unlock the phone.
I hope you follow what im asking?
Anyone able to shed some light on this?
Could you be litle more detailed with your question????

I know that! But i dont want to go back to Miui. I find stock ROM with a good kernel responds and works better with better battery life IMO.
My question is this:
Set lock screen works great
Then set PIN and you ONLY get a PIN screen and NO LOCK SCREEN at all.
I hope that makes sense?
No one at all?
I use Locale with Password lock plugin they just working as you need, only password/pin requested, no screen unlock action required.
Ops, sorry, I was wrong. It also needs a screen unlock before the password/pin.
i have a lockscreen pattern set up on my iconia but dont really need it.
i may be being dumb but i cant find any way of disabling lockscreen security.
can anyone point me in the right direction please?
duh, cancel my silly request. i spotted how to do it.

"Settings", "Location and Security", check mark out of "Configute lock screen", "redraw".
You'll have to confirm your current pattern for it to take effect. I just tried it because I've never done it myself.
recently, i found i could not click the lock button at the bottom of the lock screen anymore.
it is not the power button ,but the small lock icon on the screen

You mean the 'lock' icon placed right in the middle-bottom of the lockscreen?
If it's so, that is never supposed to happen. That icon is there to swipe up and unlock the screen.
Please let me know if I understood wrong.

yes, you are right. I mean that icon, and i think i did not descripted exactly.
if i turn on the "smart lock", and press the power button. The lockscreen might be lighted,and the 'lock' icon should be a "open lock", i can go to the main-screen without the password. Then i can click the 'lock' icon to make it closed, and need the password to go to the main-screen.
Do i descripted clear？

Yes, I just gave a try to Smart Lock, that I have never used before. Did you try resetting Smart Lock? May be try it once, and let me know.
By resetting, I mean to add your desired trusted attributes again, and also the PIN/Password/Pattern lock.

If nothing works, you can always reset your device back to stock, and try again. Sorry, I do not have any more ideas on how to solve this.
EDIT: Just a wild guess, remove the lock from PIN/Pattern/Password, back to Swipe or None, and then again set the lock. See if this helps.

Why would you want that???
Pin lock is just a backup if the fingerprint unlock is not working.
When you put your finger on the homebutton it's scanning your finger and unlocking your phone, it's not a lockscreen bypass, at all.
Your phone is working like it should, a mod can close this thread

Not actually miss understhanding , maybe I couldnt explaine good.
I mean when Im using fingerprint to unlock on my phone.When I wake the phone with power button if I dont use my finger to unlock when I slide up .. phone unlock.. if I dont use my finger how phone going to unlock pin already setted.
I must be cant unlock but if I dont use fingerprint to unlock.
I think you have smart lock option ON. Turn it OFF in settings-->security&fingerprint.
Also it is hard to read your English, please translate it from Google Translate and then paste.

Wow, you got some amazing decrypting skills
I'd like to keep fingerprints to use with App Lock and such but without using the lockscreen. Any way to keep them?
I also want this, so it works like a password for apps
but I don't like to unlock my phone at all, just swipe on the lockscreen
I searched a lot, found another thread someone wanted this too
but nobody understood him, they thought he wants only Fingerprint without pin?
but why is it not possible to use Fingerprint (and backup pin or password) ONLY for applock, and not on the lockscreen

In addition to the FP, use on body detection and face unlock.
That should reduce if not eliminate the need to unlock the phone manually.

But then I can't swipe on the lockscreen, there's no lock at all, so if I was previously in whatsapp I would be instantly online, instead of just reading messages on the lockscreen

Try using the app No Lock :

I don't use the FPR,or,any lockscreen for that matter,so,IDK if this will work.
I used it on other phones where you had to use at minimum a swipe to open & it bypassed that requirement,perhaps it'll do the same in this situation.

It was only a suggestion.
I don't mind a lock screen on my phone.
I want my phone to lock.

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it, but still have to swipe to get in. I'm not sure of other OS' but TouchWiz allowed for it. I'll write OnePlus Dev's to hopefully include it on an update. Also, native rear flash notification since we don't have a led for it.
