Hello everyone
i've been trying a lot of roms lately mainly searching for a stable smooth jb rom. i've found a good amont of them but a lot of them seem to have a simmilar problem: the pattern lock on the lockscreen is a lot smaller than it should be. it's the normal size when I set it up in settings but when i lock my phone and unlock it again, it's like this:
the distance between the dots makes it very hard to actually unlock my phone unless i completely focus on it which is quite frustrating. is there any solution for this annoying problem?
X D face me
No

Noticed that SGN will unlock if certain apps with the 'heritage' style Menu button are open when the screen turns off.
The XDA app is one such example.
Phone can be unlocked by pressing the Menu soft button rather than using the correct Unlock Slider gesture.
I'm not currently using a pattern or face lock, so as a security issue its negligible, but has anyone else noticed a similar 'gap'?

Yes, but this only happens with slide to unlock which isn't exactly security

This had been noted before...
as joshnichols189 noted when the real security is active this doesn't unlock.
The only marginal concern is that it doesn't remain locked and your ass starts dialing
That's a good point.
Any 'true' ICS apps such as Google developed ones don't suffer from this.
Presume its a hangover for 2.x app compatability?
Back to a proper lock screen then...

Sometimes my screen rotate when in browser or an app that supports rotation the accelerometer lags behind a bit
Anyone else had this ?

It has to do with the animation speed mostly. You can adjust that in developer options.
I have them all off.

if you are talking about that 1 second delay that's normal.
Nope

"Why havent you rotatated"

Can't say I've seen that. How annoying.
On the Galaxy Nexus??? well that's a surprise.

I'm pretty surprised to see people saying that they have not experienced it. It's one of the worst bugs with the phone and lots of people are experiencing it:

I'm on 4.0.3. Maybe that is why.
yeah I know that problem. experienced it mainly allot in the browser

If you need to tap the phone to get the accelerometer to work, then it's probably faulty and you should ask fro an exchange/repair.
But if you are just experiencing a small delay, that's apparently a feature in ICS to prevent accidental rotation. At first I found it incredibly annoying but it actually works in preventing unwanted rotations.
Galaxy Nexus CDMA stock 4.02 here. It has definitely been a problem for me. It takes a good 2+3 full seconds to rotate for me. Lucky for me i spend 90% of my time in portrait.
VZW GN and yeah I got the same thing. Its really annoying but I cant tell if its more or less annoying than having the screen accidentally rotate...
Either way this should be something we can control in the developer options, like give us a time delay before screen will rotate.
Is there a way to change lock screen styles based on location? (Maybe through something like Tasker?)
My 1 year old daughter has learned how to unlock my phone with the swipe lock screen, so I have changed it to facial recognition, which has adequately secured it from her.
However, when I'm not at home, I would prefer the ease of the swipe unlock.
Is this possible?

I couldn't find definitely that it will allow you to change unlock method based on location (everything else is listed and it's hinted at several places) but you might give SmartShift Lockscreen a try. You can find it here on Google Play.

Thanks for checking. That appears to be a lock screen replacement.
Ideally, I'd like to use the stock lock screen and just update the settings.

In that case I would check out Secure Settings App which is available through Google and has a thread here at XDA.

Thanks for the suggestion!
Couldn't figure out the facial recognition. However, I figured out how to toggle between requiring a pin and not, which should suffice for keeping my phone protected from a toddler accessing it.

Every time I try and use the pattern locksscreen it just looks too small and the circles look squashed.
It was fine on oaspx.
And its also fine on the pattern settings when you set it to be in with.
Is there any way of fixing it?

By the way I mean the green circles that say you've got the right pattern, not the small dots..

Are they layered on top of each other or anything? Or just closer than you're used to? It may just be a change in design. Or is anything else in the UI smaller? If so, that could be a DPI change.
There's just jagged edges on the circles so I'm guessing it's a resizing issue
It's fine when im setting the pattern so I don't know why it's not the same on the actual lock screen

You probably need to take that up with the ROM dev then.
When I go landscape on my lock page it shows home and lock screens. Trying to poke in my code to unlock the screen fails to detect pokes 2 out of 3 times. Simply not working well and more complicated than the previous build. Anyone else having issues?
When u was on 4.3, it was quite smooth. Didn't have this problem.
