Is there a way to enable both the "slide" option and face unlock ?
What exactly do you mean by slide to unlock. Do you mean the one where you choose your own unlock pattern? Yes you can choose to have it use the unlock pattern if the face unlock doesn't work or you can choose a PIN unlock.
He means the default lock option where you slide to the right to unlock and to the left to go to the camera.. and no I don't believe you can
What would be the point of turning on face unlock if all anyone had to do to get on the phone was to wait for it to not work and then you just slide to unlock? Doesn't make any sense at all which is why it can't be done.

You aren't understanding the question.
He is asking for something like slide to unlock which then leads to face unlock..

Why would you want to do this?
Most likely an extra security measure. Or when carrying it your pocked that the face unlock screen doesn't turn on.

This would be great, but it would imply app tweaks for system apps like the camera .
The Razr has exactly that, and it's great, but the slide is not as cool as GNex is .
I would love that in my phone too, Slide, and then unlock. So if I slide to the camera, I can open it and take a quick shot without unlocking it (In the razr the camera app opens but the gallery is locked because you have not unlocked your phone).

I figure I will bring this up again. I am posting this in dev because I think this is the only place/way for a potential solution.
The Evo is the only that behaves this way--when the pattern lock is enabled, the HTC lock screen (or AOSP lock screen, if the HTC is removed) still pops up before the pattern lock.
There are plenty of tools out there that disables the lock screen, but they do not solve the problem. Using the menu shortcut on the HTC lock is still not a good solutino.
I simply want the Evo behave like my Epic, N1, an other Android phones, where the slide unlock goes away when pattern is eneabled.
How?
I'd appreciate some help.
Thanks.

By enabling the lock screen gesture on my evo running CM7 it disables the slide to unlock and unlocks immediately after you put in the pass trace. so i'm not sure why this is needed. definitely in the wrong section. should be under Q/A

Thread moved to Q&A.
I'd like to bump this, I'm having the same problem. I've done some searching and as he said, I can't find any *real* solution to it. Some suggest apps but that takes out the lock screen altogether. When I hit the power button, I want to do swipe and be in. This is really a pain in the butt so hopefully we can find some answers.
Hi I love the new "slide" lock screen. I love sliding the round "thingy" to unlock the screen or to get to the camera. I used to use the locker widget on my sgs2 but I want to stick to stock android as much as possible and getting rid of all those "addons" is a joy ;-) now the only thing that bothers me is that I can't lock my lock screen with the "slide" lock screen and put a pin in case I loose my galaxy nexus...(I know that sound cheesy) Can someone give me a hint? I do not want to use an extra plugin for this simple feature to work...
Cheers,
Silentbob

Yes that's exactly what I would like... is it possible?

If you use an app like WidgetLocker you can set it up so that widget locker is your main lockscreen and you can make it look exactly like the stock lockscreen. Then if you enable pin unlock you can make it request for a pin after you unlock with widgetlocker

I'm confused here. Blur did this on my DX and it drove me crazy because no functionality from the slide lock screen other than vibrate adjustment. Does the OP want to have the slide lock on top so that it's possible to use the slide lock features on ICS? I would imagine with that a pin lock below, those features would still require pin lock entry. Perhaps I'm confused with the work flow that the OP wants.

Yup, this works perfectly.
Its dumb to have to slide to unlock only to get to the code screen.

Thank u for the time you have taken to write this help full comment.
Hi to all and thanks for your feedback. I think there is some need to better explain the reason I would like to use the swipe to unlock feature and at the same time have a pin lock.
I need a quick way to access to my camera app from the lock screen. I take a ton of images this way and I love the feature of the iPhone where you can take images from the lock screen very quickly but u need a pin to enter to the springboard. I hoped that this would be possible with stock android. As I asked in my first post I don't want to install the Lockscreenwidget. It has way to many options and some times it does not work. So now I hope that my intent is better understandable.
Thank you very much

I figured that's what you meant. Yeah, it would be a nice feature if you snap a photo or adjust the volume without entering the homescreen. Alas, to my knowledge, that functionality doesn't exist with a PIN. It's the app market for you my friend, and maybe Seekdroid in case you lose your phone and want to wipe it (assuming you are paranoid about security).

I like the "ring unlock" because you have quick access to the camera but it isnt very secure, is there away to have the ring and when you slide to the unlock side it takes you to the pattern?
Yes, widget locker will give you that preference. You will need to purchase it.

I dont believe so at this time but I am sure that someone will create a MOD like the JKAY DELUXE they have for the SGSII. Until then I think that WidgetLocker may be a good alternative but remember... It is an APP and will constantly run and use RAM, etc so you have to weigh the pro's and con's...
Remember... The Force will be with you... ALWAYS...

i think that was there before too..
The whole point of a pattern or pin lock is too prevent the lock screen from opening unless correct input is provided. Whereas lockscreen widgtes take u directly inside..
If they were enabled with pattern/pin lock the whole idea of security would be defeated as anyone copuld open your phone just by swiping them. Its a logical enhancement and not a bug.
sometimes I want to see the widget without unlocking my phone. And how I want to unlock my phone is my choice, whether password or pattern or none. But I should be able to see my widget.

i widget is kind of a short cut. If you swipe it across it opens up the correspoding app and also unlocks the phone simultaneously. This cant be done in case of pateern/pin lock,

yeah i know there was a way. But on a non rooted stock device its not possible. And dont blame samsung. Its a development that will be done time i guess; similarly how it was done before :good:
can anyone suggest any good app which has face unlock as well as finger print unlock, i've seen many apps with fingerprint unlock and many apps with face unlock, i want both put together will be good. for instance, system level lockscreen password can be unlocked by fingerprint as well as face by smart unlock option. is there any option like that for applock?
Thanks in advance.
search for app lock fingerprint password on playstore. its an app by top developers.

I have tried a few including the cheetah mobile app but found fingersecurity to be the fastest and the most reliable.
But i don't really understand the need for dual locking as your fingerprint is unique and the only way someone can break into the app is if you allow them to set up their fingerprint in security settings. Or they will have to go thru a rather complicated process of copying ur fingerprint, which i don't think someone will bother unless u r Angelina jolie or scarlett johanson

i don't want dual locking system. i would like to unlock my phone by fingerprint when lights off and i want my phone to unlock itself when it recognises my face in the day light. this feature will let me just open the app and just look to unlock and no need to put in any password or even keep my finger print. I'm doing the same for my normal lock, in day light if i press lock/unlock key it automatically unlocks. but it is useless since i would press the fingerprint key to unlock. but for apps it would be nice if i open any app and it automatically unlocks for me alone.

I'm already using lockdown pro and this app allows me to unlock with fingerprint, but it lacks face recognition. which would be more interesting.
