Hi,
Question, just did a clean install and setting up my phone.
Before i reflashed my phone I could tap on the padlock on the lockscreen to enter my pattern to unlock the phone but it doesn't work anymore.
I always have to swipe up before I can enter the pattern.
If I remember correctly, it was a setting (or a combination of settings) to get it work but I can't remember...
It was working on both 8.1 and Android P DPx
Any ideas?

It is working for me. I'm on stock 8.1 rooted ROM. I actually always tap on the padlock instead of swiping as sometimes when swiping up I need to do it 3-4times until it unlocks the screen. It's easier just to tap on the padlock. However I don't use any pattern or fingerprint security... ?

After updating to 3.2.8 I have issue unlocking the phone. Using my Fingerprint used to unlock it but now it just turns on the screen and asks me to draw the line and underneath it it says 'emergency'. (it does not say that it didn't read my Fingerprint)
Any idea what to do?

I've seen no such option to set or remove it (and it used to work before the upgrade)
Sometimes it does unlock and sometimes just turns on the screen and sends me to unlock via pattern (again, it didn't fail to recognize my Fingerprint)
Edit :
The issue was with Nova launcher, I had to go to 'advanced settings' and give it root access so it will be able to open the phone normally without asking for pattern

I suggest to clean flash again
So my roommate was drunk and set up a lockscreen swipe password and can't remember it. Is there a way to get past it without a full reset? Tried using Android device manager but not working. Any help would be great. Phone is also unlocked and rooted. Thanks

You might be able to delete locksettings.db in recovery. That should clear out the pin. Used to have to do that on 6p after a restore.
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
The post above me or flash this in twrp

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?

This works great in my Redmi Note 5, AEX Oreo 8.1! Thank you!!
Just one question: What if I want to get back the normal lock screen system? (If I install the zip file)

Just set pin/pass/pattern
Prior to rooting, I had set up smart lock. Now I've rooted with Magisk and Smart Lock will not work. When I go into settings, it asks for my unlock pattern, but will not open the smart lock settings menu. None of the devices or locations will unlock the phone either.
Has anyone rooted with Magisk and have smart lock working?

I had this issue one time before. I had to disable trust agents, reboot the phone, then enable them again followed by an additional reboot. Maybe this will work.

Wrong thread... sorry!
Hello,
I use the password management capabilities of chrome & brave with synchronisation and auto-fill.
In order to have access to passwords a screen lock has to be set. So I have setup one with a pin.
And on all my other Android devices this works without issues but on my mi pad 5 not.
If I access the password settings in Chrome or Brave and edit a password and try to copy it the browser freezes and i'm directly set back to the lock screen.
Auto-Fill works most of the time but if I have for the same page several logins and I try to access e.g. the second one I'm also set back to the lock screen.
Has anyone else this issues and knows a way how to fix that?
ROM is MIUI 12.5.5 Global Stable
Thanks!
Same. I think it's just the pin, cause the other unlock method works without problems
