I have no idea what I would have done to cause this but I seem to have lost the option to customize my lock screen shortcuts from the lock screen settings menu. I know I had the option even earlier today but now it's just gone. I've been running SkyDragon 0.0.5 for weeks now and I can't think of anything else I would've changed that would have made the option disappear. I should probably also mention that I'm running Xposed with the lock screen disabler module but I've also been running that for quite a while. I can still see the lock screen shortcuts that I had previously set up, but now I can't change them.
Anyone have any ideas?
Anyone?

hey everyone. I have a question. I searched but didn't see what I was looking for in this phone forum. I got the N2 on Friday, came from the epic touch. I was running Easy Profiles on the e4gt and wanted to use it again on the N2. Well, I am still am for sound changes. But one of the main reasons I use EP is to disable the lock screen when I was at home and enable it when I was not at home. I know jellybean broke EPs capability for this. So... my question is... what else can I use? I don't mind using a widget but the auto changer with EP was awesome! (and once they fix it, I'll go back to that primarily I'm sure) I've tried no lock and no lock screen. neither disable the lock screen. I've tried all 3 apps with my systems settings as slide to lock, lock with pattern and no lock. it's just not doing what I want it to and I'm at a loss. if I set the system lock to any type of lock, no lock and no screen lock wouldn't keep it unlocked when it was engaged. if I changed the system settings to no lock, the 2 apps wouldn't lock it. easy profiles has 2 different options with the lock screen and I've tried multiple variations with that too. does anyone have any suggestions? ideas? apps to try? I am currently downloading a few ROMs to try out but I'm thinking it's a jellybean issue and not a stock rom issue.
I was in the exact same boat and loved EasyProfiles.
I started using Tasker yesterday and checked out: http://tasker.wikidot.com/profile-index
I still at noob at it but managed to disable the pattern keyguard.
Now I think it is a JB limitation but Tasker ability to disable kerguard stops once you chose something in the Notification bar.
Check it out, what they say about it true. Tasker is awesome and I'm only now learning how great it is- like automating talking SMS when in the car. EasyProfiles couldn't do that.
thanks. I'll look into it again. I downloaded it last night but uninstalled because I didn't see what I was looking for and didn't have the brain capacity to figure it out!
Try this for starters:
Profile "Unlock wifi" - State -> Net -> wifi connected
Task "Unlock"- Display -> Keyguard -> off
I used that to work yesterday and will play/learn more today.
Like I said though, accessing the notifications makes it lock again so I toggle the wifi off/on to make Tasker disable keyguard again.
I installed secure settings from the market, disabled everything but pattern lock in it. then went back to easy profiles, set locale app as secure settings and so far it's working.
Hello,
My Galaxy Note 2 has been doing something strange the last few days.
The swipe to unlock screen comes on in addition to any other locking screen lock mode (pattern, pin). Even if I disable "With swipe lock" under settings/Lock Screen.
The swipe screen also ignores any settings under "Lock screen options" and always comes up with the default shortcuts and camera. Which means anyone can get to my email, browser or camera without unlocking the phone.
This seems like a bug. Anyone else encountered this?

similar issue
i had similar problem... the lockscreen image used to flash often.... on my stock rom...
anyways.... its not happening now on JoelDroid N2 V3
It turned out to be some stupid Homebase app that installed itself along with another app. I'm not sure which app was the offender since I uninstalled a bunch at and haven't reinstalled them all yet to figure out which one it was.
Before installing the new Kit Kat upgrade, I had no password and was able to press the top power button to awaken or sleep the home screen without also having to swipe the little "lock" icon upward. With the new updated software, I now have to swipe the little lock every single time. So now I have two steps to complete before accessing my phone. Does anyone know how to remove it?
The first two options in the settings / security menu.
No Lock app

I have no screen lock at all on those settings and I still have to swipe to get to my home screen. This was removable in the previous update.
Huh? Set the first option to what kind of lockscreen you want pin pattern etc. Then put a check on the second option. This should bring up the security screen when the phone first wakes, then once you enter your pin pattern etc it should go straight to your home screen.

I do not want to have to swipe the "lock" icon. I never needed to before and now with KitKat I do. I'm wondering whether there is a way to remove that little feature.
These are my current settings.
I have no pin or lock, yet I still have to swipe the little lock up before accessing my home screen. Is there a way to go straight to my home screen without having to swipe the lock icon up?
That is very strange. I have the same settings for mine, screen lock none and the bypass lockscreen on wake box checked. When my phone is off and i hit the power button it goes straight to my home screen, no lock swipe involved.
Are you rooted?

Ditto. There must be something messed up with his rom or some app interfering with the settings.
There is also a setting for skipping the lock screen in the Sense 5 Toolbox so you could try that too if you're rooted and have Xposed.
No i think the reason it does this for me is because i have sense 5 toolbox and never realized it was an always on option. If your rooted, and dont want xposed or sense 5 toolbox, i made a flashable zip that will remove the lock screen.

Well then either root, or as stated in an earlier post try no lock from the market. Its free and does not require root.
2 days ago I started getting a strange lock screen on my S3. I noticed it when my alarm went off in the morning. There was a plain black and blue lock screen. When I swiped past it, my alarm showed up. When I dismissed my alarm, my normal lock screen showed up (complete with the normal unlock pattern dots.)
This new lock screen doesn't show up all the time. Maybe 2-3 times per day. I think, but I'm not sure, that it's being triggered by the phone going to sleep. Turning the screen off and on only triggers the normal lock screen. The new lock screen never overrides the default lock screen - it's just over top of it. Also, it looks like if I disable lock screens altogether in settings, the new lock screen goes away.
I've uninstalled all launchers except Lightning Launcher and TouchWiz. LL's lock screen is a separate app that I do not have. I've uninstalled all lock screen replacements that I know of (I only had Widget Locker). I checked the list of recently updated apps to try to figure out if it's a new "feature", but nothing. I've checked the list of running apps, along with apps that automatically start up on load and I don't see anything strange.
Does anyone know of a way I can determine how to figure out what this is? I'd like to get rid of it.
I'm running StockMod ROM 4.3 (rooted). A screenshot is attached.
Thanks.
Hi!
Does StockMod ROM come with the Active Display feature? Because what you are seeing might some kind of Active Display...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2450697
I didn't see Active Display, but I did notice that Dynamic Notifications was enabled. Not sure when or why. I turned it off and I haven't seen anything pop up since. Hopefully that was it.
Thanks for your help!
I have good lock installed and haven't had any issues with it. Today in the morning I noticed my lock screen clock widget is gone. No idea why. I know I switched my Samsung theme yesterday but that was it. Switched back to default theme and same ****. Haven't touched any options in settings so no idea why it happened. I still get notifications in lock screen.
I even tried to disable lux but didn't do anything.. tried shutting down phone etc
