Can anyone help with this.
I have updated the rom on my mda vario, but subsequent to doing this I cannot disable the password. I go to Start > Settings > Lock and then once i have put the pin in can see the password settings, but they are greyed out and as a result i cannot disable the pin/password so my device keeps locking after a time of no use. Any help, please????
Hey guys - I had the default locked screen setup on my phone before doing any type of modifications. I then installed Calkulin's 1.5a. When the phone gets locked, it shows the same 9 circle drag to unlock design. It doesn't matter what I draw it'll become unlocked. How can I delete this since the unlock option is now missing from settings?
It should be, Settings -> Location and security -> Screen unlock settings -> Set up screen unlock. Then click none or other desired settings. If that's not there for you, you need to redownload the rom and reflash.

You have a pattern protection on your device, and you set the pattern you have selected to ask you for pattern when you start your phone up, reboot to system and remove pattern lock and then you should be fine...
Next time when you set an pattern select no thanks option as shown in the screenshot.
Ditto
If there's a pattern, it usually means you've got a pattern lock. Use the same pattern and it'll be locked.
Just use the same pattern that you use if you startup you're Android device. When you have no pattern, go to settings > locksreen > then remove pattern if not done already > set new pattern > there will popup a messege asking is you want to use a start-up password (or something like that) > No thanks. Should work now.
It is a good idea to have some security on the recovery but the interface is dodgy. It normally takes 2-3 tries because the screen can't seem to keep the touch and drag registered nicely.
See if this helps. This will remove whatever password you have set on your device.
Hello everyone, I'm a newbie to the OnePlus world.
So my question is: how can I disable the password that is required before android is launched on my OnePlus 3 ?
I've searched accross xda but I found nothing, sorry if this has already been answered.
In the beginning I found it very useful, but once I removed Google Keyboard, I was not able to enter that password.
I want to use a modded google keyboard (with number row), and on the xda thread, the dev ask to remove the defaut Google Keyboard.
Regards.
Go into Settings > Security & fingerprint > Screen lock and remove it (choose None).
Once the device is set to none, go back into Settings >Security & fingerprint > Screen lock and choose PIN. It will ask you here if you want secure boot (enter a PIN to start device) or not use it. Just choose the latter.
EDIT: If you have fingerprint set up, you will lose it during this process
Another option is to just switch between password, pin or pattern. You still get the option of not to set on boot, but this prevents the fingerprints to get deleted as they do when switching to swipe or none.
Thanks guys the problem is now solved, I've selected PIN with NONE as option for boot.
I can't do anything else because would like to remove the google keyboard.
To do so you will need to wipe your /data but its possible through twrp for excample. Simply after hard reset chose not to require password after boot
I'm confused as to why Google Keyboard is required for entering a password. Can't you just set your other keyboard to be the default?
Hi
How do I use fingerprint to unlock my Mi Max 3 please ? I am on the latest global stable.
In Setting > "Lock screen & password" use "Set screen lock" to set a password. Then in "Lock screen & password" use "Manage fingerprints" > "Add fingerprint" and add 1 to 5 fingerprints. After this you should be able to unlock the device with a fingerprint. But don't forget your password, because sometimes you need still it.
