You do realise the phone comes stock with both a pattern unlock and pin security unlock screen as an option ?

I do and i am using it.
The standard android screen lock is missing the ability to delay the lock (like in the HTC devices).

[Q] Slide to unlock+face unlock???

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).

How do put a lock on "slide" lockscreen?

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

Options, security, use PIN unlock code.

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 just realized OP's name... how do you remember it O.O

Set it up when tried to set VPN network, it' one of pre-requirements for VPN, now can't get it off.
Any advise? Really appreciate!!!

I dont believe the above will work under the situation described.... for security reasons, the phone demands a security lock screen if you do things like add a cert...
I am currious s well if you can somehow diabable that with root but on stock roms.
thanks!

Face Unlock???

Sometimes when unlocking the screen I see a face unlock icon but there is no setting for it that I can find. Am I maybe missing something? I have a 1045 on 9.0

Hi Mate, i'm using TA-1050, i found this in Security - smart lock - trusted face. I'm on Android Pie and it works well.. Hope this helps.

Face Unlock doesn't work on my TA-1016
Is that normal?
