Hi,
Ressurection Remix rom, has a very beneficial feature, of hiding "Power Menu" on a PIN locked phone's lockscreen.
which helps in the time of theft, as the thief will be UNABLE to switch off the phone quickly, & the crucial time, of tracking the phone, is not wasted.
Can this be achieved by editing build prop file ?

Every phone can be switched off by long pressing the power button, it doesn't matter if power menu on lockscreen is disabled and enabled. This feature is helpful only when someone don't know regarding this....
And this cannot be enabled just by editing build.prop.
Hope this helps you.

When the device is hard rebooting, one can easily go to TWRP and then he can delete lockscreen pin/password key and access to whole phone.

You can use GravityBox( xposed module ) to enable this feature. In GravityBox under 'Power Menu' tick the check box for 'disable power menu on lockscreen'. If you don't want to use xposed then you have to wait for custom rom's. I don't think you can achieve it by editing build.prop file.

Hello, i have a question to you. Eariler i used viperDHD rom and there is a mod, where i can set function "hold back to kill app". Next i change rom to SVHD and it really faster and better for me, but i can't find that mod/app. Is there any chance to this function on this rom?

If developers option are visible then scroll all the way down and click last option which is "Kill App Back Button". If not visible developer option then click on build number for 7 times until it says "No need,you've already unlocked developers settings".
I think after that you may able to kill app by back button

Unfortunately, this rom doesn't have that option, or i can't see it. Maybe some flashable zip or something?
Hey people,
Today I update my M8 to Lolipop version and now when i go to security and go to remove lock screen password I can't!
The first 2 option are unavailable(Lock screen and no lock screen) and it says "it is disabled by administrator encryption policy or credential..."
Help plss
Anyone has the same ploblem?
Help
Thanks
Hope this works for you too.
I faced the same problem and here is how I solved it for myself.
Go to Settings
Under Personal select Security
Scroll down to Credential Storage
Select "Clear credentials (Remove all certificates)"
Once this is done, I managed to gain back the first two options of "Lock Screen" and "No Lock Screen".
Hope this helps you!

Wrong device, wrong ROM. I doubt anyone in this section can help.

Hi fellows,
So i bought that S810 beast and i am fully enjoying it
Only one of a sudden, i found a bug which i thought it might not be that annoying, but it turned out to be freaking me out
I can not remove the lockscreen protection back to the normal slide lockscreen for an unknown reason that i failed to discover.
It says,
Disabled by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have nothing in the administrators, my internal storage is not encrypted and i haven't touched that credential thing!
So i guess that the only way out is to "clear the credential storage"
Now the question is, is there any way out of this problem rather than factory reseting the phone or clearing the credentials?? If not, then can anybody tell me what are the side effects of deleting the credential certificates ? AFAIK it affects VPN stuff, which i never used on my phone and i am sure i won't use it! Are there any other side effects?
P.S. I am not rooted no need to void my warranty, yet
Thank You!

AcDisplay, Greenify, Android device manager only
Nothing special

Try removing AcDisplay from your device.
Might be AcDisplay indeed. Have you tried to remove it?

Well this issue was there before i install the apps
Only android device manager was there once i detected the incident
However i will try to remove them and see if there is anything changed
You could also reboot into safe mode, see if that solves the problem (which would indicate that an installed app is the source). To go into safe mode, press and hold the power button until the power menu appears and the touch & hold 'power off' until prompted to reboot into safe mode.

Navigate to /data/system/password or gesture (Pattern) and delete that entry depending on what type of password you have, reboot done.
If you are unable to get into the phone you will be able to do this using the file manager within TWRP.
PS: Not 100% if it'll fix the isse due to an app locking down the phone but it certainly removes the pin / pattern or password from your phone, so should work.

Ah i see, sorry mate, then no you need root access to be able to see lower level files.
In all fairness, I would say to back up your data and flash another ruu / rom, or even factory reset the device and be careful what you install, I'm assuming that it's something to do with an app you have installed or an email which needs to lock down your device.
I would do that, back up, wipe and go lightly with the installing of apps until you find the culprit, if that doesn't work then I would flash another RUU.
But I imagine it will.

As a workaround, i used smart lock
I set up home as trusted place and turned on body detection

Nice one.
click thanks instead of saying it fella Glad you're back up and running.
Actually it turned out to be even better with Smart Lock options like trusted devices "when connected to my bluetooth speakers/handsfree" and trusted place "put my home address here" and also turned on the "body detection"
In this way i am prompted to type my PIN only when needed :good:

Hi,
I know that in order to use fingerprint unlock one must set a password/pattern/pin as a security backup, but:
I want to use the fingerprint to unlock only because this is a faster operation then double tap to wake and then swipe away the lock screen.
I know I can simply disable the lockscreen but I don't want to.
I want to be able to unlock using fingerprint or using swipe to unlock. Without security.
Is there an app or a mod for that?
I already searched but couldn't find anything related.
Thanks

I believe Resurrection remix has this feature in built. Although it's not advisable to use it, for instance if your fingerprint scanner stops working you wouldn't have any other means to access your phone.
Thanks for the response

Yes I will - I'll just swipe to unlock.
And last time I checked (a few months ago) every ROM not based on OOS loses the good camera quality, so I'm sticking to OOS based ROMs
if u r rooted use es explorer or a file manager delete/move files to another folder on ur sdcard for backup purposes, those should not delete the fingerprint, u can still use ur fingerprint to unlock the device. ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP THROUGH TWRP 1st
data/system/gatekeeper.password.key
data/system/gatekeeper.pattern.key
data/system/locksettings.db
data/system/locksettings.db-shm
data/system/locksettings.db-wal

Amazing!! I just LOVE android!
I don't understand how come this is not a feature - quick unlock the device using fingerprint, but without security (so that you could also get a lockscreen unlock without pin/password etc.).
Thank you!!

lol honestly it was something accidentally stumbled upon
u can download FingerprintEnabler xposed module and it will stop from needing the security code on reboot, u can just use the fingerprint sensor from the start without having to delete anything.
I'm looking to use the finger print sensor with any persons finger print just as a sensor to unlock the phone will these steps do that?
Great!! But, if I want to get back the normal lockscreen?

Hello,
I was wondering if there was a way to enable the Advanced Power Menu in MIUI 11 on Android P allowing you to quickly reboot to bootloader, fastboot, recovery for instance.
I know I can do that from MIUI update screen or if rooted from Magisk Manager module page, however that option is very handy to quickly reboot to what we want.
That option used to be in the developer options, but it is not there anymore. Maybe it is hidden somewhere?
Or would you know any other way to enable it?
Thanks in advance,
Regards.

No built-in solution AFAIK. You still need a root for that.
There is a magisk module out there that do that thing, but I forget that module.
Or mod your systemui, but that will take some time.
Another alternative is use Reboot Xtream, small apps that do its job. But still, it requires root.
