on demand lockscreen?

searched but couldn't find it so hopefully someone can help.....
i always have my phone right next to me but have my phone set up with a pattern unlock security for those moments that i leave it somewhere in a hurry and not worry about someone being able to get into my stuff but since 95% its right next to me i hate having to do the pattern unlock even though i can do the pattern fast i prefer not have too... so is there an app or shortcut so i can have my phone without a lock but for those quick moments that i need it locked i can activate it with just pressing that app instead of having to go into settings and manually setting it up again then remove it?

Not sure if there is an app specifically for that. Best I can think of is you might be able to set a condition using a app like tasker or impel. Basically, "if I press this button then enable this" I'm not sure how well or if this would even work but its worth a look I suppose.

I have been using no lock from the market.. It works great to flip your lock screen on or off. Works great on GB.. Flaky on ICS

I don't know of any particular app that does that but I just set my security settings to automatically lock with a delay. I generally leave it at about one or two minutes.

I am using NO LOCK right now on ICS and yea it's not perfect but I can keep the PIN CODE lockscreen and then use the app to disable it when I want.

Tried this and so far working great just what i was looking for. Hopefully someone can figure out a way for the phone to do it without having to install a third party app, but for now NO LOCK is working great. Thanks.

I did this but ill use it for a quick minute or less then it will shut off then at the time i turn the screen back on its locked and i have to unlock it and what i wanted was when suddenly i have to put my phone down and i want it to be locked with a push of a button without having to go into settings and setting it up . thanks either way as well.

Tasker will do anything you can possibly think of. Including this.

No Lock No Work But...
No Lock didn't work but a different app from the store call No Lock Screen works like a charm (for the exact problem you described).

hey @Ma$etas , do you found another app or way to solve your problem ?
Same as you, I need on demand lock screen, I lock when I want. I didn't want to unlock using pattern or pin every time I use my phone.
But, I need to lock it sometimes. If I left my phone on desk, when I'm sleeping and any other condition

No, i never did . I remember i tried a few apps but they all had one or other issue.
I gave up on looking for one and just manually set it up .

Best way to backup Face Unlock?

I recently trained the hell out of the face unlock feature and now it's working blazing fast and very reliable in almost every environment.
But since I don't feel like doing 40+ improvements to face unlock after every ROM I flash, want to back up the face unlock improvement pics.
Does Titanium Backup include this when backing up App+Data? Did someone already try this?

Didn't think people used face unlock. Ya, as long as you backup app data it should be in there. Titanium Backup has that feature.

Thx for the info! I also didn't use it, but recently thought I'd give it a try and when you improve recognition in different lighting it works surprisingly well, it unlocks a lot faster than i can swipe or type in a PIN. And it still offers at least some security compared to the simple unlock swipe (not the pattern).

There is an entry called Face Unlock in Titanium Backup, backing it up should do the trick.
I'm interested to know what improvements you have made to make it faster? Mind sharing?

Ok I'll give it a try, thank you!
I did nothing special, there's a built-in improvement feature since 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 i think. You find it under settings-> security AFTER you set unlock method to face unlock. It appears directly below unlock method and above owner information. It should say something like "improve face recognition" (dunno the settings names for sure, my phone language is german. But I think you get what I'm talking about).
If you tap it you can train the phone to recognize your face under different lighting, with and without glasses, shaved/unshaved and so on. Just keep improving until you feel face unlock works good for you. Mine is 100% accurate right now if there is enough light to see anything at all

there was a previous thread about this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25605137
still no definitive answer though, hopefully the Face Unlock in TB catches everything

You're not supposed to back up system apps/data in titanium though

That's the only problem for me, I use my phone too often when it's too dark to see anything. I tried face unlock for a bit but got annoyed with having to wait for it to timeout. The phone has a light sensor, they need to be using it to go straight to the alternate authentication method in low light.

Instead of waiting, just press the little lock button underneath your image while it is trying to recognize. It will immediately go to pin unlock.

I didn't know about that, I'll try it. It should still be automatic though, hopefully they'll fix that at some point.

Just wanted to confirm that restoring the Face Unlock data through Titanium Backup (restore Data Only) worked fine in restoring my trained face sessions after they were reset when I disabled the Face Unlock feature. As mentioned in that other thread, the file where the data is stored appears to be lockscreen.gal in the /data/data/com.android.facelock directory.

CyanogenMod 9.1.0 Hercules Backlight issue

hello i recently flashed this version of cyanogen-mod on my Samsung s2 and am having an issue. First of all, i used a non-touch CWM but it was confirmed to work as long as you use super swipe, so i did that and it worked no problem. However the back-lighting on my buttons will not come on. It is not broken because it sometimes works but mostly does not. i am wondering if there is a fix or a setting i need to use to get it to work.
Thank you

have you tried "settings > advanced > sensors" and checking the backlight and notification settings?

yes I have tried it, it fixes the issue but once I lock the phone and then unlock it it does not work anymore.

It's a known issue with any aosp builds such as cm or aokp. No one has gotten it to work consistently yet with ics or jb

i think ill just re-flash to dark-side evolution. can you please explain to me what the MD5 keys mean since there are like a few download mirrors and i an not sure which one to get.

i am having this problem on every version or CM9 past RC2 and CM10 i really would like a fix
i looked into this a little and it seems that it's a problem from the moment you turn off the screen until the first hard light timeout afte the screen is turned back on
Apparently the bug is also in Miui and AOKP

(Request) - NFC w/ screen off

I was wondering if anyone could please port this mod to GNII w/o breaking Google wallet
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709586
Having to turn the screen on everytime one uses NFC is quite the pain.

wouldn't that be some form of risk to your phone?

Sure it would be a risk but one I might be willing to take due to convenience factor. Yes, it's simple enough to just turn on the power and unlock the phone but sometimes when driving, I don't have the ability to safely power on the screen and then go through the motions of unlocking. It's not for everyone for sure but I am sure that there is a niche market that would love to have it.

I would be even be happy with just the lockscreen mod.

Yeah that is true, although you don't have go through any motions if you don't want to, there's always the option to select "None" in the Lock Screen settings so you just press the power button and no Lock Screen shows up at all.
As far as allowing nfc goes I think what would be a better option is unlocking with voice, but so far I personally have yet to see that, that would be better and a nifty feature imo.

Right now I use tasker to do this while at home, though I would still like the option to use nfc when screen off.

Just curious. Anyone considered useing the actual task to unlock from the NFC chip? Would issue unlock then whatever else you wanted it to do. Could be something simple if NFC could activate with power button even though its locked.

You can't trigger off nfc while locked because the process isn't on.

Correct
But since going threw the trouble to have the service on all the time. Isnt also just as feasible to activate the process under the same rules as the screen? As an option to not activate it permanently. Im aware of the conditions and rules that govern it stock but I was merely speculating another alternative while the hood was open .

No Slide with Pattern

I just flashed the latest version of Cyanogenmod 10.1 on my S3 and everything is working fine except for one thing. I can't get the lockscreen to have a pattern that shows up when I slide the lock. After I wake it up from sleep, it just shows the pattern and not the slider to access the camera, Google Now, etc. I was able to do in CM10 with no problem. Can anyone help me out?

It's the same on AOKP. You and I must be the 2 users that like pin/pattern and the slide lock. It may eventually get fixed. I haven't yet tried a 4.2 AOKP ROM yet so not sure if it got fixed with that update.

Also waiting for this fix. Its really annoying along with not able to pull down the status bar in full screen apps.
