[Q] Pattern lock with Google Device Policy? topic

I currently have a Sony Xperia Z2 with Stock firmware (rooted) and ExistenZ rom, with Xposed installer.

I have google apps device policy installed for my work email which enforces a PIN lock, which I am not a fan of. I can install the "Keyguard Disabler" module which basically resorts to a non-locked lockscreen, but I really want the Pattern Lock back.

I have tried the exchange security bypass but it doesnt work for google apps policy.

I want pattern lock!

Any ideas people?

Attempting to remove cynogenmod cannot re lock bootloader or reflash recovery topic

I was having issues with my version of cynogenmod (apps crashing, random reboots) so I decided to downgrade to an earlier update of it. While doing this my phone restarted I guess corrupting whatever was on there. It won't boot and gets stuck at the HTC logo. I can still enter HBOOT, so I tried reflashing ROMS in CWRM from there this was presenting errors also, so I used CMRW to clear out the partitions on the phone. I then thought reflashing to recovery would help it didnt I now cant enter recovery at all it just goes to fastboot. I also tried to flash a stock recovery ROM, that also did nothing. Trying to lock the bootloader also throws an error "FAILED status read failed <no such file or directory>". So im stuck as to what I can do from here I just want to put it back to stock and forget CM until more stable releases are out. I hope I haven't made a brick, any help is appreciated.

[ 4.3 and 4.4 ][HOW TO] Enable Lock screen rotation topic

Hello guyzz... you can perform a simple trick described below to Enable Lock screen rotation. To do this ROOT is required.

1. Open the file manager on your Android device
which supports root file system access. I prefer Root Explorer.
2. Navigate to the following folder:
/system
3. There you will find a file named build.prop. You
need to edit it, so open it in your favorite text
editor. Again, I will use the built-in editor of the
Total Commander app, as it is powerful and
supports many useful features.
4. Add the following line to your build.prop file:
lockscreen.rot_override=true

Tip: Before you add the line, check if the same
parameter is present in the build.prop file, but with
the value set to false. If it is present, then modify
the existing line and set it to true.

That's it. Now reboot you device. The lock screen will
respect the gravity sensor right after reboot.

Lolllipop: No incoming screen when lock screen notification disabled topic

I personally don't like lock-screen notifications and hence I disabled it in lollipop. However, it has a weird side effect, now it wouldn't show any incoming call screen when the screen in locked. Instead, it rings, I have to unlock the screen, click on a small call window to know who is calling or to answer the call. Not sure if this is G3 specific implementation or true with all the lollipops - in either case it's very stupid though technically correct.

Lock screen replacement on CM12 topic

I've been running CM12 for a while now and the only thing I dislike about Lolipop is the lock screen. I really miss widgets and apps on my lock screen. I installed C Locker (Pro) which I had used on a different phone running KK and it works much better now on Lolipop. It is very customizable, I am using transparent clock/weather widget, calendar widget (Scrollable) and a number of app shortcuts. The only gotcha was I had to delete the Android guest account otherwise when I would unlock it would go to the Lolipop lock screen. You can setup up a lot of gesture actions, and click on the lock button turns the phone back off. Mine is probably gaudy and way too colorful for most but that's how I like it :D

Lock screen notification topic

Hi, is there any way to control what notifications appear on the lock screen? It's now either show or don't show at all (without a password).

Basically what I'd like is for notifications icons to still show on the lock screen status bar, but not show the notifications on the lock screen itself. I used to be able to do this on Kitkat.

On that note, any way to add lockscreen widgets?

Thanks.

[APP][ROOT][4.1+]ScreenOff - Soft Screen Off(Respects Smart Lock Feature) v0.1 topic

Hi,

Important : Requires ROOT and also the presence of 'Swipe Up' Gesture (generally used to trigger 'Google Now' in 4.1+ devices )

This is a simple App that emulates the click of Power Button.

Handy when u want to reduce wear and tear of the physical button or if the button is not working.

Currently the following method of Trigger are available:

- Using the Swipe Up Assist action which usually opens the Google Now App

Following are planned to be added:

- Shortcut
- Widget
- Tasker Extension

Advantage over other similar apps in Market:

The usual 'Screen Off' 'Screen Lock' Apps that are available to turn the display off and lock using a widget actually put the device to sleep immediately. This makes the 'Smart Lock' feature introduced in Lollipop not work. Also this makes the timeout period set in the 'Automatically Lock' security settings to not work.

Since my App uses shell commands (and hence the need for Root) to emulate Power Button press, both Smart Lock and 'Automatically Lock' settings work. :)

Note: Have tested it only in my Nexus 5 device.
AFAIK should not cause any problems in any device since nothing dangerous is being used. But still the usual disclaimer : ' I am not responsible for any damage done to your device, hand, home etc... LOL :p'

Smart Lock feature on the leaked lollipop roms topic

The title says it all.

Moderators, if I posted in the wrong section, please direct this thread to the proper one.

So one of the biggest features that I've looked forward to when Lollipop was announced was the smart lock feature, especially the trusted face one. I was so giddy when I finally got to test it out when I tried CM12 build, though it didn't function as well the way I saw it perform on my friend's nexus 7. I was so excited to try this out when lollipop was leaked both to the Note 3. I was utterly disappointed though that it was missing. I've tried beckoning the few developers who have cooked up ROMS from the leaked lollipop.
So I guess this is me beckoning everyone else who have the means to try and figure out if Samsung simply buried the feature or not and if it is possible to bring it out.
