[Q] Lock Pattern only at first boot?

Hi,
I was wondering if it was possible for my phone to only ask for a lock pattern when I first turn it on, then revert to slide. If that is possible is there any way to lock it so it asks for the pattern when I want?
Thanks.

As of stock I don't think that's possible. Various custom roms like CM7 give you the option of adding timeouts to the pattern lock.
Or you can always default to using the simcard lock if you just want to stop the phone from being used without your permission.

You mean adding a pin to unlock the simcard would prompt only on first boot?

hope someone can help you

I think Tasker with Secure Settings can help you. With the two I have it set so that when I log into my home wifi I only have to put my lock pattern in once and out then reverts to the slide lock. I'm sure you could mess with the profile and set it up how you want.

Yep. It'll only trigger again if you go to airplane mode and back. Or when you reboot again.

Widgetlocker bypass, Stock pattern bypass

I don't mind the password pattern, since it protects my phone, but is it possible for my camera to bypass the thing and just go straight to it and require no password? Because when I do press camera, it automatically turns my rotation to put in the password and then takes a good 2 seconds to turn back to put the password in (since to rotated screen doesn't even allow password input). Like the iPhone, then ask for the password when I'm trying to exit out or look at the gallery, quick function type thing. Thanks in advance for viewing or answering or..anything! cheers.

No there is no way for the camera to bypass the lock but the lock still be there.

alright :/ thanks

LiquidSmooth 3.2 Help

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.

[Q] Where's the option to remove help from lock screen?

I would like to remove the text "Swipe screen to unlock" from the lock screen
First, if you don't know to do that by now you should turn your phone in. Second, isn't that an invitation to a thief

Well, if you really care about data theft you should have fingerprint or pass code to unlock turned on.
I don't see a way to remove that text, in any case.

Sorry I can't be more help, but at least I can confirm this IS an option. I know because I disabled that text on my Note 4. I specifically remember doing it last night as I was going through the settings on the phone. There was an option to disable the help text on the lockscreen. Unfortunately, I can't recall where that was at. You'll just have to go through your phone, in the meantime, or hopefully someone else will respond with a definite answer.

If you haven't already figured it out:
From settings goto Lock Screen > Show Information > Help Text is at the bottom.

I don't have the help option available

It's probably because you are running fingerprint scanner or password for the unlock method on your lockscreen. Change it to the swipe unlock method and I bet that option will be there. Then you can always switch back once you uncheck it. Let me know if that works.

You are correct sir! A shortcoming in the code IMHO, once you know how to unlock the screen, no matter the method, the aide should be able to be removed.
To clarify my earlier joke, an invitation to a thief was in relation to the word "swipe" to unlock... I know very punny.
Thanks again

Mi 9 SE OTG - is a mouse working?

Hey,
I broke the screen of my Mi 9 SE, seems the touch and fingerprint is also not working. But the device lives, I can hear messages incomming, charging makes a noise, programmed alarms work fine (but can't be stopped, d'oh).
I would like to guestimate my lockscreen pattern to unlock my phone and get adb + scrcpy back running. But can I connect a mouse via USB-OTG? I tested it on other non Xiaomi Phones, there it works. But I don't hear any noise when I connect the USB OTG with the mouse.
Cheers

I just tried with my otg and mouse is working normally
But it doesn't make any sound when I connect it

@mauriciotc17 Big thank you for the clarification! Could you tell me if I can click to get the screen on? Do I need to click somewhere on the lower part and "swipe" up to get the unlock pattern? This would help me a lot to do it blindly.
Cheers

Sorry for the late reply, actually yes, you can swipe in any part to get the pattern, but if you dont have the face unlock enabled it can be a little difficult to make the pattern

Ah, ok. Then I did everything correctly, but had no luck in hitting the pattern right. You are right, face unlock would have helped me here. With my new phone I did that now.
Thank you very much for your support!
Cheers
