hi, sorry if this is a NOOB question but i did try searching and couldnt find an answer
i have installed ICS alpha 4 its looks great but if i boot with my SIM card installed its asks for the SIM pin - BUT it doesnt show the keyboard so i cant enter the pin number.... if i boot without the sim installed it going straight through but i still have some trouble disbaling the hardware keyboard... i hope i explained that right...
so long msg short... how do i get the keyboard to show on the lockscreen so i can enter the SIM PIN ??
i hope someone can help as ICS alpha looks amazing
Hi, i did have the same problem.
Reading through the ICS rom thread i found the solution to be disactivating PIN control while using a standard rom or by putting your sim in your phone and turning the option off.
Then ICS boots without asking SIM again.
Hello,
I used for following trick:
- Go to lock screen by taping Back button on pin entering screen
- On lock screen tap clock in status bar to get popup window and tap setting icon
- On setting window - activate airplane mode and reboot
You will get into ICS without entering pin. Then use "Messages" app to get text entry field. In the status bar you will see small keyboard icon. Tap it and turn off HW keyboard. Now you should get on-screen keyboard and could switch off airplane mode and will be able to enter pin.
Regards.

Hi all ... I edited my dock and added the Gmail icon. It randomly disappears on me. It isn't consistent when this happens, eg. most re-boots it stays, sometimes its gone. Sometimes just looking at the phone part way thru the day and its gone. Any ideas?
Is there anyway to remove the swipe to unlock screen? I had a Vouge with Android ROMs and it was two presses of the power-on button to unlock. Much more convenient. Thanks in advance for any help on these!
It seems that if you change a dock icon to a 3rd party app, it won't stay. Anything installed originally in the phone will not disappear.
Hello,
Basically, I set an unlock pattern on my SGS i9000 - and I've forgotten the combination. It's not the swipe lock screen it's the standard keyboard one.
I've heard that it's possible to reset it to your gmail account, but I can see no option to input your email or reset it? any ideas
thanks
if you try it more than 5 times it should come up with a "forgot pattern?" prompt at the bottom right next to emergency call
'You have incorrectly entered the unlock pattern 55 times' I've worked it right up to that, and I still see no forgot pattern box?
Something is wrong with your phone. I just tried it and after 5th failed attempt a popup appears saying to try again in 30 seconds and a timer appears top left of the pattern. Bottom right is the forgot pattern link.
See if you can boot into recovery and clear cache, not sure if this will help but it's what I would do. Maybe a reboot will straighten things out.

I am on AllianceROM XXLSC and I have this weird issue with my lockscreen. I have pattern unlock but randomly my lockscreen starts with swipe (even though that secondary option is disabled) and once I swipe it I only get 1/3 of the pattern (i.e the left 3 dots). I have to restart in order for it to get normal. I can't unlock my phone this way. Is anyone else having this issue? Any solutions.
I do have the ink lockscreen installed but I dont use it.
I did a full wipe and installed... still get this issue
HELP!
Hi xda developers,
is there a way to change or modify the wallpaper that is used on an encrypted HTC One after you boot and before you enter your PIN / password to continue the boot process (decrypting storage - green android on black background) and the regular lock screen shows up?
I would like to put some owner information on that first screen as well, because it is the one and only screen a user sees on an encrypted device after (re)boot when the PIN / password is unknown.
Thanks!

It's called boot animation, you can change it easily by rooting ur phone.
Another solution, you can install an app called "gotya" that displays whatever text you want when a wrong pin code is entered, and also takes a picture of the person entering the code via the front camera and sends it to your email adress with location info also.. It's meant for when you loose ur phone or when it gets stolen..
Search "gotya" in the play store.
Hope it helps
Thanks for your immediate answer!
The app "gotya" is a neat idea, but has a different use case. When you reboot you don't have any network connection and it does not work with the device / storage decryption dialog either.
The bootanimation could be used to show some owner information, indeed. But actually I am looking for the wallpaper that is loaded right after the bootanimation and before the regular lock screen.
This is the boot sequence on an encrypted HTC One:
1) boot animation (with incredible loud sound..)
2) "decryption lock screen" (has only one lock symbol to be pulled up, uses default wallpaper, the glass skyscraper face on my device)
=> pull up the lock symbol
3) device / storage decryption dialog ("enter password to decrypt device storage")
4) green android on black background
5) boot animation (with incredible loud sound..)
6) unlock SIM card screen (SIM pin)
=> enter SIM pin
7) unlock device screen (device pin / password)
=> enter device pin / password
8) home screen
If you exit the unlock SIM card screen (step 6) or the unlock device screen (step 7) with the back button, you will get to the "regular" lock screen. This screen's wallpaper can be changed (though not in the "productive lock screen mode"...).
However, I am trying to change / modify the wallpaper of the lock screen in step 2). The owner information should be placed on this screen as well, as you can't skip step 3) without knowing the Android decryption password (which is your device PIN / password by default).
Hi friends. Just got this wonderful device and decided to unlock it.
After unlocking I'm not sure if it's me but there seems to be a delay in touching an icon and it activating. For example, I press the app drawer icon from Nova Launcher and it takes about a 0.5 second delay before it actually triggers and opens. Am I simply noticing a delay which was always there? The delay is also present when inputting the pin in the lock screen.
Also I am now unable to activate the mini screen feature that normally activates when I swipe to the soft nav buttons.
So two problems I've noticed since unlocking the bootloader. Will greatly appreciate any help. Thanks!
Update: OK the delay somehow disappeared. Response is pretty snappy right now. All I did was uninstall and install new apps
Update2: OK what; even the mini screen swiping on nav bar gesture works again. Not sure what happened but all issues have been resolved
