Hello,
Initially i did not have any security but now i wanted some security for phone. So I put in a pin code security, only problem now is lockscreen pull down menu is not working. Any one have any suggestions for getting around this?

That won't work if you have security enabled lock screen. Kinda defeat the purpose of having a lock screen.
Reset with Google account.

I have my phone setup so I can use a gesture in cm 6.1 to unlock the screen. As a result, I have android screen lock security disabled and I have cm disable the sliders.
Now here is the issue:
The phone can still be unlocked by simply flipping the keyboard open. The only way to disable this as far as I know is to enable android screen lock - which in turn means after providing the unlock gesture I again have to provide a passcode or pattern.
Can someone please advise on how to prevent the keyboard open from unlocking the screen without enabling the stock android screen lock security. It would be much appreciated.

I don't believe this is possible. No app, setting or otherwise I've encountered is able to keep the keyboard opening from unlocking the device. Your best bet would be to google search something like "disable unlock when keyboard flipped out G2".
I found the solution. Used the screen off app posted in the g2 dev section. Made a tasker profile to launch it on keyboard open and display unlocked. Relocks the phone if anyone tries to unlock with kkeyboard.

I've recently bought the 4g touch and installed the starburst rom and I've found that if I have any kind of security setup (pin, password) that none of the lockscreens seem to be enabled. As soon as I wake the phone up it throws me straight into the pin/password screen. Has anyone else ran into this type of issue before and have a fix? Any help would be appreciated because I'm at a loss for solution and even google isn't helping me unfortunately.

I am not sure if this is how it is supposed to function or not, but I can confirm that this is the same behavior I experience. If you select "None", then the pin lock doesn't even come up. I have to select sgs2 and it will then show my lock screen... but yeah, if you select anything else with a lock setup it does not show that lockmod. -Grand
this is the expected behavior. otherwise you'd have to unlock the phone twice everytime once for the pin then once for the normal lockscreen.
i've never used a pin on any of my phones is the dual unlock normal/what you were expecting ?

My previous two phones, HTC Hero and Evo 4g both had the lockscreen show up, swipe to unlock, and the pass/pin screen show up. I suppose I figured that was default behavior for most phones. To me it makes the most sense to me to have the lockscreen, swipe to unlock, then show pin/pass screen since it would allow flexibility of music controls/phone/sound without having to log into the phone and provide some basic security.
I just got a Note 2 for AT&T, I rooted, flashed Team Asylums slim and fast ROM, and everything was been awesome until... I decided to set up a pattern unlock, and did. But I lost my lock screen shortcuts so I decided to remove the pattern. When I go into setting and enter my patter again I only have the option to enter a new pattern, a pin or a password -- the none, slider and face option are grayed out **see picture below** Any ideas?
Is your device encrypted?
No I do not have it encrypted and it is not an administrator issue, I think it is related (aside from my stupidity) to a VPN app (open VPN for android) that I started setting up but deleted before I finished. I'm guessing it left a security certificate in the system that is preventing me from going without a secure lock screen. I think it is time to swallow my pride/factory wipe and stop goofing around with settings I don't understand.

Hey Guys,
Got my H815T variant today. Extremely happy with it thus far!
Just had a question for other owners.
I was trying to setup lock screen shortcuts, however whenever I selected it and configured it, they never showed up on the lock screen. I am using the 'swipe' security method.
Anyone else have any difficulties with this?
Cheers,
Kevin
Whirlpoolian?
There should be shortcuts on there by default. Were there any when you first used the device? If you've picked them from the lock screen settings then they should appear.
Might be a pain but hard reset might be the only thing i can think of that may work.

Mine didn't show up until I did a full power off/on after changing them around. Was thoroughly confused as to how to use them for a bit lol....
If you have any kind of lock screen security enabled, you won't be able to use lock screen shortcuts. The Shortcuts menu item under the Lock Screen menu won't show up if your lock screen security is set to anything other than 'None' or 'Swipe.'
I have recently installed Marshmallow to my G3 and have noticed that on the lockscreen when using the PIN lock, there is an ugly grey box around the numbers. Is this the same for other people?
The other thing is I have noticed the "NONE" and "SWIPE" for the lockscreen are greyed out. I have cleared the Credentials within Security > Certificate Management screen and my phone is not encrypted at all. Has anyone got any ideas of how to resolve this?
Disable Pin Lock and the other options should then be available.

Hmm, I tried that and fail to see what I have missed.
Close to doing a factory reset now which is not ideal.
