I'm looking for app which allows to make the screen off (via e.g. double tap) without locking the 5X.
Without locking 'coz Imprint is associated with a PIN code, so using applictations like Screen Off and Lock requires re-enter a pin code.
This is annoying and time-wasting.

I posted this in General, but have not had any responses.
I am currently using the stable CM10 and am wondering if there is a way to separate the screen unlock (simple swipe etc) from the security lock (pin or pattern) features.
I would prefer my screen to turn off after a few minutes or with power button, and then when reactivated require a swipe (puzzle lock etc) to access apps. The idea on this is preventing accidental app activation in a pocket etc, but having quick access to slider short cuts.
However, I would like it to require a secure pin or pattern to access after a longer preset time (some longer time out). The idea here is my phone is found or stolen from me, users can see my info on the home lock screen but cannot access anything else..
Is this possible?
Thank you ,
Don
This is all based on the stock ROM, but I would be interested to hear if it's different in any of the custom ROMs that are available.
So, if you set up a fingerprint, you also have to set up a PIN, Password, or unlock Pattern. After the first fingerprint unlock after boot, it requires this extra security, and then stops requiring it until after some timeout has passed, or until a number of failed attempts at fingerprint unlock. It is also then super easy to accidentally unlock the phone by literally touching it in the wrong spot.
I would like to have my phone require both a fingerprint and a PIN, Password, or unlock Pattern. "Something you have and something you know" and all that.
Is there an Xposed module that would do this, or a custom lock screen that could be installed? Thanks for your help. I've tried searching about this and have not found anything helpful.
Fingerprint unlock is treated as a lower security level than password/pin/pattern.
When you boot, device doesn't really require both (just turn the screen on and slide up and the security you chose will be promted)

Hello all,
I'd like to use the fingerprint to lock only specific apps without having a lock screen active.
With other smartphones I can do it, with the P2 seems to be impossible.
In order to activate the fingerprint security, I have to record some fingerprints and that's ok. Then I select the single apps I want to lock.
But, if I disable a lock screen the digits scans are deleted, therefore the fingerprint app lock feature stops working.
In other phones when I disable the lock screen, the app lock function keeps working (fingerprints scans are not deleted).
Is there any workaround ?
I only manager to get partial workaround - I set option that the phone will lock itself after 30 min and I used simple PIN to use it quickly if needed and also I use smart lock so it will not lock that often...
Hi all.
I keep having issues with screen unlock.
First it would only unlock via fingerprint and not using pin.
To test a little i then selected pattern + fingerprint and now it doesn't require either except on first boot up. I can simply swipe to unlock. However, if I scan a non registered finger it says "no match".
I'm not connected to trusted devices...
Any ideas what causes this behaviour? It shouldn't be due to removing stock bloatware, right (Samsung, Google, FB apps)?
Many thanks!
It sounds to me like you have one of the "Smart Lock" settings enabled. These override the pattern and fingerprint settings when specific conditions are met: the device is on your body, the device is at home, or the device is within range of your smartwatch.
They should really be called "Smart Unlock" settings. You can find these settings under "Lock screen > Secure lock settings".
Sort of an old thread, but I'm also facing issues with the unlock screen lag. Somehow it is related to the battery saving: since it slows down the CPU, apparently the system doesn't have time to "process" the unlock pattern (or PIN, same problem; and hang me if that process should take longer than a couple nanoseconds), and the screen goes back to black before the unlock is successful. As a temporary workaround, I've disabled battery saving, and now at least I can unlock with pattern or PIN. But the real problem must reside somewhere else. It's not acceptable that an operating system takes that long in processing the unlock.
Hello, I'm running a Samsung S4 Mini (I9195) with LineageOS 18.1. Smart Lock isn't cutting it for me, I don't use GPS, I only have BT on when listening to music. I want to have the ability to unlock and lock the lock screen at my leisure, to make it stop asking for my PIN until I press-hold the lock icon on the lock screen to make it ask for PIN again.
I used to be able to do that, by setting up a system profile that sets the lock screen to not ask for PIN when it is activated. After having encrypted my phone via the option in the Security settings menu, I can't do this particular thing. Amusingly, I can still remove the PIN from the phone entirely and make the lock screen stop asking for one that way, but that requires going into settings, disabling the PIN, and then setting it up over again when I want it back.
So can I still set whether the lock screen asks for PIN easily somehow? Is the only way to do this to undo the phone's encryption? I could do that easily enough, all partitions have been backed up in recovery just prior to encryption.
