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).
I'd like to jump straight from the lock screen to certain apps (ie camera, email). Some downloads (and MIUI) allow this.
But all those I've tried also compromise security by allowing immediate access without pin code or pattern.
S, my question - do any quick-app-access lock screens also allow for pattern or other security, to prevent thieves getting in to my phone?
try widget locker!
it is AWESOME!
you can have password\pattern after the slider, another useful thing that u can place widgets on your lock screen
Question about widget locker does it cause battery drainage I recall someone before saying it did?

No problems with battery drainage here. Been using WL for months
Widget Locker requires two steps.
I would like to see app shortcuts and security unified by drawing app icons in my security pattern.
Come on.
Hello,
I just installed a Jelly Bean rom (Vicious) on my galaxy nexus and for the most part everything works great. One "feature" that drives me crazy is that enabling any security (PIN, pattern, face unlock) disables the slide to unlock screen. The problem is that I really like the ability to use the camera (by sliding to the right) without having to punch in my PIN code and unlock the phone... Does anyone know if there is a setting or mod that allows for sliding before security?
Thanks much! Nick
Try widget locker - it lets you add both sliders to load apps and widgets of your choice to your lock screen, then once you slide-unlock you get to your pattern or pin unlock screen if you have one.
I have a fairly minimal set up but apparently you can do some fancy stuff with it - they have their own user forums.
Available in play store,$2.99.
If you want something free there's a couple of other apps that do something similar although with fewer options (not tried by me).
Hi,
yesterday I became 5x owner and I read everything about problems with unlocking with FP If you use "lock sreen app for it".
But that's not problem, since my phone is rooted and I can use one of solutions.
My question is ...
Is there any solution to use JUST fingerprint unlock, without having PIN code/pattern. Why?
If you press power button to get lock screens on and than tap on notification (SMS, email) you have to put PIN. And that's annoying.
If i use FP unlock than you came directly on home screen and in you have to open taskbar to see notification...and that's annoying too.
Or maybe same question from the other side. Is there any solution to open notification from lockscreen without PIN code/pattern, BUT with fingerprint on.
I also noticed that form ambient screen I can double tap notification, but again, PIN code/pattern ...
Thanks for help!
Even I wanna know a solution to this.

Tap the notification on the lockscreen. When the PIN entry appears, do the fingerprint thing and it will take you to the app that was making the notification. It works, but is kind of awkward.

oh jeah, i realized ... Thanks. Really awkw.
Is there no other more elegant way? I don't want the damn PIN at all.
I just want a pure stock way not to use the power button so much (not gravity screen), which is what I thought the FP was all about.
I guess I could use a really simple pattern...so it's super quick. Annoying though.
Why is it that we are still having to adapt our behaviour to technology? That is the opposite of good HUI design.
Start with No LockScreen
Use Secure Settings App to set PIN/PassWord
Set up Imprint
Use Secure Settings App to disable Pin/Password

I'd thank you, but I'v used up my thanks for today (!!). So, a cheery "thanks mate" will have to suffice.
I do wonder a few things though.
1. Does Secure Settings need root to do what you suggest? I'm not rooted.
2. The closest thing I can find is the Keyguard Disable, which is a legacy feature and presents a warning that it may make my device unstable and it therefore not recommended. Is this the correct setting for my n5x 6.0.1 April?
3. I couldn't see any obvious option in Secure Settings to set a PIN or Pass.
Thanks.
You can delete all the files with .key extension in system/data folder using file manager in TWRP. It will give you fingerprint+no pattern as you want it to be.
are there any news on this topic? Im really interested in using my fingerprint sensor without setting a pin. I tried the method with secure settings app, but I cant find an option to set a pin with the app. I also tried to find my files with .key extensions in my system/data folder but there werent such files. gururoop said I need to use file manager in TWRP to do so, I dont even know what TWRP is.
Any other ways to get this accomplished? Did you find a solution tedrogers61?
You need to be rooted to delete the files. You only need to remove /data/system/locksettings.db
hmm well okay. Im actually not so happy with rooting my device. No other chance to use imprint without setting an additional pin/passwort?
Simplest way to use set unset PIN/PASSWORD in Secure Settings is by temporarily adding a home screen shortcut (via launcher widgets/shortcuts). The process of creating the shortcut brings you to the screens for selecting the actions (Dev Admin actions). Secure Settings needs to have Device Administrator permission. Once you are set up if just delete the shortcuts. No Root required for this.
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.
