[Q] Pattern Unlock:/efs/cryptprop_lockscreen.patterneverchosen&cryptprop_l ock_pattern
I am trying to figure out how to programatically pattern lock and unlock the Note 2.
I found this thread that uses Locale to control the pattern lock and unlock for Samsung:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110307
However, the files: /efs/cryptprop_lockscreen.patterneverchosen and /efs/cryptprop_lock_pattern_autolock are not in this location. Any ideas where they are or what replaced them in the Samsung Note 2?
I found this little jewel that may unlock the pattern lock, but I cannot seem to find sqlite or sqlite3 in /system/bin or /system/xbin. Any idea where Jelly bean puts it?

Trying to bypass pattern lock on Samsung S Plus I9001 while usb debugging is off by default.
How is it possible to bypass the lock.
Hello,
I was given a Galaxy Wonder to repair, the problem is the kid who's phone it is, forgot the lock screen password/code nor did he have a google account on the device. And the best part, is he want's the data!
I would backup and flash the device, but adb commands requiring root privileges won't work directly - it complains that "adbd cannot run as root in production builds"...
I got ADB up and running and installed "su" (root privileges in shell).
I've tried many suggestions with changing and deleting entries in the "data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db" file on the device.
There are no more references left in the "system" or "secure" tables to any kind of "locking". According to many posts the lock screen should not be present after reboot or it should be anything random (or nothing).
Also, I've deleted the gesture and password files from /data/system/...
Nothing has worked to remove the screen lock. Please help.

I'm working on disabling the lock screen and I'm running out of ideas.
I can find it using ES File Explorer and I can kill tasks - can anyone figure out what I need to do to get rid of the annoying lock screen?!
Could I sideload an update that would essentially make Lock Screen.apk an empty app?
Greetings dellow xda dev's, I am currently running a Tmobile galaxy note 3, with the newest stock odexed FOL1 firmware, rooted, running twrp 2.8.5.0, I hav been installing apps and setting things up all day as a recent problem has forced me to factory reset my phone. Due to the way I use tasker to lock my phone (using secure settings to set a password) and restoring the old tasker profiles, my password appears to have been corrupted in some form or another as I have entered it a bunch of times and it won't unlock, claiming that the password is wrong. I have spent most of the evening looking at exploits and bypasses but none seem to work with my phone, there is no password.key file in the data/system folder, and deleting the gesture.key doesn't help. Using android device manager I can send a message to my phone and 'lock' it, but there is no unlock option anywhere on the screen; until I hit the home button and it simply sends me back to the normal lockscreen, and whatever new password I punched in with the manager doesn't work. I have tried several flashable zip files (lockscreen security bypass and pattern password disable), I have also tried everything mentioned in :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2620456 that article, as well as poking around in adb and in twrp's file manager, as well as some old lockscreen vulnerabilities (sadly copy and paste do not appear on the emergency dialer or the password field).
I am rather desperate to get my phone unlocked without a factory reset, as I just barely recovered from one recently, and need my phone for work tomorrow morning. I do have some tasker and autoremote profiles running that will tell my phone to setoff an alarm through tasker, and that will alert my phone to when my tablets battery life is low, but I don't know if either of those will help. I do not have any trusted bluetooth devices that can unlock the phone, nor do I ever seem to find a password reset/forgot your password option after typing in my password.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated and tried come morning before work.
In MIUI it only has the option to use the lock screen PIN to encrypt the data partition. I know I can change the encryption password to something different manually, as described here
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-manually-change-your-android-encryption-password/
However when MIUI boots it only seems to allow users to enter a numeric decrypt password. I prefer to use an alphabetical or alphanumeric, as I find it less confusing using one PIN (for the lock screen) and an alphabetical or alphanumeric password for decryption and they're also longer and thus more secure than a 4 digit PIN.
Is there a mod for MIUI that will allow me to enter a alphanumeric decrypt password at boot?
Is no-one else bothered by this? Does everyone just use the same PIN for decryption and lockscreen? This seems like bad practice because if someone sees you enter your lockscreen PIN, they will then be able to unlock/decrypt the phone even after it is turned off or the battery runs out.
I've also found with the Note 5 the decrypt PIN screen on boot is very dim, making it more difficult to enter the PIN that it needs to be. My Note 4 isn't like this. I have Redfox Recovery on my Note 4 and OrangeFox on the Note 5 but I wouldn't have thought that would be causing this.
