With pattern lock enabled. You have to first swipe to show the dot grid and then enter your pattern. The pattern grid is also smaller and I found this annoying.
To fix this, I noticed that if you set a pattern and then enable face unlock under Smart lock, it will show the big pattern grid directly.
It stays like this even if you then disable the face unlock.
Notifications are still visible.

If you set a security pattern, then the custom rom's show that, instead of showing the lockscreen with data, and show the pattern only when you slide to unlock. That's how Sense does it.
Without that, what's the point of the lockscreen? You have to turn off security to make it useful.
Or does any Rom do it right?
The point of a lockscreen is exactly that. To lock the screen. If you set a pattern lock that becomes the lockscreen. Having to slide to unlock and then pattern unlock is redundant.

In cm7 you can adjust 2 layers of lockscreen settings... for example my Evo is a blank screen when locked.. you can draw on it any way you want but unless you draw the correct shape it does nothing... but that still doesn't unlock it.. I have it set so the gestures only turn on flashlight and sound.. etc... to actually unlock you have to press menu and then your greeted with a full keypad not just numbers...
I use the pattern lock method and was wondering if there is one, or if someone can develop one where it doesn't show the trail as you move between the dots. I find that when it shows that trail, anyone within 15 feet can see your lock pattern.
So a mod where it's exactly the same Pattern Lock feature but without any green trails.
Or better yet, a completely invisible Pattern Lock screen!
I couldn't find anything on Market.
Wow I rock. Uncheck "Use visible pattern" in settings and that answered 1/2 my question.
With some of the custom roms like cm7 you can disable any sort of unlock widget and use a gesture to unlock. You can build any gesture you want. Swirls, squares, zig zags.
So when you go to your unlock screen it just has an empty screen with your background and you swipe around and unlock

So basically when i try to set a password or pattern lock and i go to the lockscreen it doesnt even pop up, it just unlocks and goes straight to the homescreen. I have Nova launcher installed if that matters, everything else is stock. I've been having this problem for a while now
i have normally have the swipe pattern lock screen on my s6...but seems like for the s7, it requires me to swipe the screen before it takes me to swipe the pattern password....is there a way to disable that first swipe screen??? its pretty annoying
Is there a mod or method to enable the fingerprint scanner with the Swipe screen lock? I want to use my fingerprint to wake and unlock my phone while still using the Swipe style lock screen (no pin or pattern).
