Does anyone know if there is a way to mod the PIN lock so that when you enter the correct PIN it will unlock instead of having to press OK?
Dwitherell had done this for Tweaked note 2. I'm sure he will do it for note 3 once he starts work on it. We hope soon. I believe he ordered it already.

I just install Wanam Xposed and enable quick PIN unlock. It worked perfectly.

I can set a lockscreen pin but it will never lock? any idea why and i was wondering if they got rid of the apple side bar tool on this rom.
After setting the PIN, did you choose the option to lock immediately or wait 5 seconds?

i dont no why i post anything. i already figured it out. it was something to do with the shake options i just disabled it. but now i cant use my slide unlocker to unlock or slide to use phone.
If you set a PIN or set a pattern to unlock the phone, I don't think you can use the slider to unlock the phone.

I can't do it but figured if I made a challenge out of it than maybe it would get done.
A "REMOVAL OF THE
EMERGENCY CALL BUTTON " from the pattern or pin code lock screen
Yes it's obvious why it's there and why not to remove it but this is what we do

I usually protect my phone via a 4-digit pin that is always requested when display wakes up.
Is there any way to unlock the phone after the 4th digit has been correctly entered, without having to press th OK button also ?
This may sound a stupid feature (enter four digits instead of five) but it may result very useful when you only have one hand available.
Other phones, with stock (i.e. Ascend P7) or custom roms (i.e. Galaxy S3 with Cyanogenmod or AOKP) offered such feature, but cannot find in in the G4.
Many thanks

I found this but it needs to modified to work for lollipop. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279039
Thanks man will give it a try.
I just can't understand why we need to press ok first to unlock our phone....it's such a stupid design
I use GravityBox via Xposed to enable unlock without pressing ok. Easy fix if you're rooted and can use Xposed.

At least for Verizon, your PIN can be 4 digits or more (up to 16). So my guess is that this is for security reasons.
Let's say, for discussion, your PIN is 11111 (5 of them).
If I was trying to guess your PIN, I might start by just hitting a whole bunch of 1's. If the phone is only waiting for me to get it right, then as soon as I type 11111, it automatically unlocks. But if I have to enter a PIN, and then press OK submit it, this process gets more difficult. If I enter 111111 (6 of them, instead of 5), then press OK, it stays locked.
Admittedly, this explanation doesn't work if the number of digits is fixed at 4. But if you have the option to use a longer PIN, then it makes sense, to me, as a security measure.
Alternately, you might consider using Knock Code. This lets you select a pattern (for Verizon, 3-8 taps) on the screen. But it can be entered even with the screen off (it will detect the proper code, then automatically turn the screen on and unlock). You don't have to hit OK, and you can also enter it anywhere on the screen, if the screen is off. So it's good for doing 1-handed, even if you aren't looking at the screen. You don't need to hit any particular items on the screen, just make the proper pattern.
After setting up fingerprint unlocks, why do I then need to enter my pattern?

You probably set it so that you need 2 step authentication to unlock the phone. Funny thing is, I can't seem to find that settings. I'm pretty sure that setting is there when you first set up fingerprint scanner.
Try removing fingerprint unlock and redo the whole process again.

You should only need it on first boot OR you setup secure boot in security settings.
Correct PIN/pattern code is still needed to unlock on first boot or - on an already booted phone - if the fingerprint isn't recognized after the third try to unlock. In addition one can always decide to unlock via fingerprint or PIN/pattern, as this is running parallel.

Do you have some sort of gesture to lock the screen? Like you can if you use Nova Launcher. If so disable that. Should work normally afterwards.
I am coming from a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+. I use the pin as my lock screen security and the Samsung phone had a setting wherein it would automatically unlock the phone on entering the correct pin. On my P6Pro, I need to do one extra step of hitting the enter key. Is there a setting or any way to by-pass it?
I use the pin more than fingerprint scanner by habit.. especially after checking some notification. I know the by-passing the enter key might not be good security but I like options.
Any help?
How would it know when you make it to the end of the pin? You know it doesn't have to be 4 digits, right? Mine is 7 digits. Or do you want it to actually try the pin after each digit is entered? (very bad)
Most 3rd party ROMs have this option... I also prefer it to just unlock when the pin is correct without hitting enter but is obviously not as secure
No way to bypass it yet, but it won't surprise me if eventually there will be a way, even on stock (rooted). It's only annoying for me after a reboot or when/if there are random forced checks on the lockscreen, since I use the fingerprint reader otherwise.

I dunno. I've used it that way for years and never had a problem. I mean if I enter it wrong now and think it's right then I have no way of knowing because the characters are masked. So I still end up hitting enter. Also the device only accepted max six digits.
This is a feature of GravityBox that I miss.
