I was running lineage os 14.1 then i enabled secure startup (5x5 pattern) and it worked fine on this rom
now when i flash any other rom, it comes up with 3x3 pattern to start the device and there is no option to change that to 5x5
so i want to remove this. i even flashed lineage os back and i set up 3x3 pattern this time, still the phone doesn't start unless i enter the old 5x5 one.
no, that pattern will be created when you device gets encryption! so no way to avoid that in Android oreo
I solved my problem Mee to faced the same pattern problem but not the 5×5 I have set a 3×3 pattern and every time I reboot and go-to recovery and even changing custom ROM or miui ROM the pattern show so I fixed the issue doing steps
1)flash the miui ROM
2)go-to settings, additional settings, privacy
3)find the encrypt device using lock screen password
4)enter old pin and create new pin to encrypt and reboot
5)it asks the pattern to decrypt enter your new created pin
6)after reboot again go-to (3)option and disable it
7) hence solved
I hope it helps??

I just rooted my brand new 1+3 and put CM13 on it, with TWRP recovery. I haven't set any sort of screen guard or fingerprint yet, since I'm not sure if that will end up encrypting the disk as well.
I've seen other posts about how people could not use the recovery because it prompted for a password - and typing the PIN didn't work for them. I have already taken a nandroid backup of the original OxygenOS, and saved it elsewhere (i.e. not on the phone). So if I go ahead and set a password, will it cause any problems later, if I have to use the recovery? Is it better to stick to a PIN instead of the pattern lock?
Edit - now when I go into recovery, the log says 'successfully decrypted with default password'. What's this default password? If I set a screen PIN, will it change to the PIN, or is it something else? Will setting the PIN/fingerprint prevent me from mounting data as I can now?
I have not used the password to the type of pattern, but suddenly twrp ask for the type of pattern, so I can not decrypt the data from sdcard, please help

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,
I have Mi 9 SE with global rom v 10.2.2.0(PFBMIXM).
When I go to system settings->Additional settings->Privacy->Encryption & credentials, it shows that my device is encrypted. But in the past on other xiaomi phones I owned there used to be an option "Encrypt Device with lock screen password" which is missing in MI 9 SE.
So, in the past the phone used to ask for lock screen password during boot and only then then system/data disks would be decrypted and phone would start booting. Now this is not happening because the phone is using whatever device default password it has for decrypting the device during boot up. So I have following questions,
1) Can someone with above version of global rom confirm that they also do not have "Encrypt Device with lock screen password" option?
2) Can we also confirm if China and EEA Roms are also missing these options?
3) Is there any possibility of somehow enabling the "Encrypt Device with lock screen password" because I would really like to use my password for encryption rather than some device default password.
Many thanks in advance for your help
There is no way doing this and it's this way on all ROMs.
Hello guys,
I haven't used my Moto maybe for a year or two and after I turned it on, I have seen the Moto logo and then this screen appeared. I've had to put my security pattern into that little square which was quite tricky and after that my phone turns on normally.
I think I haven't seen this screen appearing before, does it have something with Twrp or Magisk and how can I turn it off? I have Android 8.1 and it is really annoying to put the pattern into that little sqare which is the same size as my index finger.
Thank you
Wish you all the good
Jakub
You would either have to format data to remove encryption or change your lockscreen from a pattern to a pin
This is the boot level encryption on your device - it has nothing to do with twrp or magisk

Yes I understand, but why it is so minimalistic? Couldn't it to be set up as a regular size pattern?

No idea why it is that small. Maybe a mismatch in bootloader/kernel/rom firmware versions - try changing it to pin restart and then back to pattern again.
Or Flash the latest retail firmware via fastboot and start with a fresh device
