tp2 native lock

AndroidTroll · #1 (**permalink**) 05-20-2010, 12:37 PM

i like the simplicity of the native wm 6.5 lock screen but i hate the fact that it requires a password. Is there anyway it can be set to lock when u push the power button and then turn it on to the slide screen and just slide to unlock and go straight to the OS with out getting prompt to enter a simple password? It wont let me set it up in the settings and requires to enter a password. Reg tweaks?

Do you have a PIN or password setup in Settings ->Lock?

I use the native wm6.5 lock screen (slide to unlock) and love it.

But I have to have DeviceLock_v1.6 running in background to allow for when I press the power button for the device to wake up to locked screen.

The OS doesn't do this by default.

This is what I use, once you install it, softreset and go to settings/system/Smart lock and check WM6.5 New lock. there ya go. its got several other settings with it and I have never experienced the SOD with it.

boredandtattoed.. you must be using a custome rom. Stock roms 6.5 always ask for a simple pin. But devicelock worked. I will try the other cab the next poster recommended just to see what it does. thxs everyone.

It does the same thing but give's you a few more options with it.

Boredandtattoed...... just realised that is you manually lock it, it indeed does not promp you for any password. But what I am looking for is for the device to lock automatically when it shuts of the backlight or when you manually push the power button. I just tried the other app called Smartlock. Did not work at all. But actually glitched my start menu. I tried enable and disable options and non did any good. So I will fall back to the first app that worked. Csdevcntrol is the name.
