Had a custom Stock LG ROM on my phone, decided I wanted something a lot lighter and faster so I went with resurrection ROM, everything went went fine during the install, wipe everything did the usual stuff, but pin lock doesn't work at all.
I set it up, but it doesn't work, when I go to change it the after entering my pin the settings just crash for the lockscreen security which is odd.
I think my pin is working but not actually being displayed?

Hi, I made this thread in a different section and haven't gotten an answer, so might've been in the wrong place.
I have for the first time rooted my HTC Desire. And for the first time also just installed a ROM, LeeDroid 3.0.6-R2. Everything works fine, so I think, but one thing.
I've set up my Exchange account to my work and entered a new pin code. The pin code works every time when the phone locks and I need to enter the pin to unlock it. But as soon as I go into Clockwork Recovery mode and then do nothing but restart the phone, it doesn't accept my pin code. After 8 failed attempts it wipes my phone automatically.
When it happened the first time I thought I messed up with the pin code. So I wiped the phone and started over (not reflashing the ROM), setting up Exchange with the same pin code. But it didn't accept the one I used previously. So I choose a new one, simple, 0000. Tried several times to unlock with the pin after the phone had locked. Then just now I rebooted again with Clockwork Recovery and just restarted the phone and it again won't accept my pin code.
I don't want to disable the policy and not have a pin code via some app.
Has anyone had this issue before? It's like my pin code isn't saved once I go into Recovery mode. But it still enforced the policy.
I've also tried just adding the pin code lock, without activating the ActiveSync, and that also gives me the same error. One time I managed to make it work. I set the pin, reboot normaly which worked ok, then go into recovery and reboot. It worked. But the 2nd time i went into recovery mode it stopped working again.
Any suggestions or help is appreciated.
TIA
I'd post this problem directly in the LeeDroid thread. You might try out another ROM, but it sounds like a ROM issue.

I had a similar sounding problem when I upgraded from LeeDroid 2.3d to 2.4.1.
The flash worked ok and all seemed good.
I then rebooted and was no longer able to enter the device PIN (not the SIM PIN).
I had been restoring all applications and all system data using Titanium backup.
Looks like not a good idea. had to re-flash. Just restoring Missing applications
was ok.
Could this be your problem?
I have done it a few times by restoring from Titanium Backup. But I've also tried just after I flashed the phone and nothing else but enter a pin code and it still wouldn't work after I rebooted from recovery.
I also thought about that I restored from Titanium. Perhaps the old accounts or something like that. I have now not rebooted my phone for a couple of days since I fear it will bugg out again.
I'm having a major issue with installing a new rom. I currently have the Cyanmod on my phone. I wanted to change to a new rom, So I did the normal steps and was able to install the new rom. However, once my device booted up, it ask for a encrypted password. I know I didn't have a encrypted password set previously, So I tried restalling, wiping everything, and etc. Here is the weird thing, whenever I reinstall my previous rom cyanmod everything goes back to normal. I'm able to boot up and I don't have an encrypted password. Anyone have any solutions for this?
Hi guys, I have a serious problem,my lockscreen is gone. In the settings it's set to 'pattern lock'.. And also I did not disabled it with other mods/apps.. Can you guys help me somehow? Or just how to unlock the sim card? (i know the pin for it, but its just doesnt ask for it, but its locked) more info about my phone in my signature.
So you're saying that you were just using it and everything was fine, and then all of a sudden there was no lock screen? Is your rom stock or custom? Did you do anything in /system with file explorer, etc.? Do you have Xposed? Did you reboot, and then it happened, or just lock the screen?
Its a stock rom. I didnt do anything, so that's why I dont understand what the heck has happened. I have xposed.
4 days ago my father called, the phone was in my pocket, and somehow I sent a message to him, and the lockscreen froze. I thought okay, imma reboot you now. And that since then I dknt have the lockscreen. If i lock the screen with the button and just pressing it again its like if there were no lockscreen, it takes my right back where I left.
So i'm checking out the permissions for the gesture.key and password.key, and they seem to have right permissions. (rw-------)
So I cut them out of there, I'm rebooting now, let's see what happens.
I saw the lockscreen for a second!!!!
Okay, I set up a new pin, now it's working fine!
So I changed from my old ROM to Dirty Unicorn, all went well, but no pin lock on the lock screen, when I try to change that the settings part of the lockscreen lock will crash, but it will ask me for a pin to access it, tried 3 more ROMS, same problem, I have now just tried Imperium and the problem is still here!?
I have never encountered this before, anyone know how I could fix this? Also my backups fail (can't access some folder or something) so I can't even restore to my version beforehand
Any and all help is appreciated
Edit: Just going back to DU so you all know what ROM I'm running now
Hey,
some days ago i went from 7.1.2 to 8.1. I haven't had any issues whatsoever.
For some reason tho it seems like there's something wrong since my bug isn't listed as known.
The first ROM i tried was RR 6.0, and i tried it 2 times with this ROM. Same bug, just like with crDroid 4.1 which im running now. I even performed a COMPLETE wipe and made sure to flash the latest twrp recovery.
Whenever I setup a displaylock (PIN/Pattern/.. except swipe which is default) the device freezes immediatly afterwards, becomes totally unusable so im forced to pull out the battery. Rebooting then takes me to the lock that was just setup but entering the code just freezes the phone again. There's no workaround so far - everytime it happend i had to go back to factory settings.
Since i need to setup a displaylock to install a certificate I could really need your help. Im thanking in advice :good:

furi
