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!

I am running cyanogenmod 7.03 on my Nook Color. I recently disabled the cyanogen settings / tablet specific / disable lockscreen option. I then enabled a pin based lockscreen.
PROBLEM: Now I can no longer unlock my nook color. Why? Because the buttons on the lockscreen are too large, get cropped off by the lockscreen, and I can't see the numbers I need to push.
What can I do to fix this? Please tell me my nook isn't bricked now.
eMMC or SD install?
If the former, you can (as a matter of last resort) wipe /data in CWM, but of course you'll lose _all_ configuration. I can't honestly think of a less intrusive way, unless you can somehow intercept the lockscreen before it has a chance to lock on boot.

Can you remote install a "no lock" app from the online market? I haven't used one to know if you have to select it or not but worth a try.
Only other suggestion is adb pull the build prop and change the lcd density to a smaller number like 140 to see if the lockscreen displays properly, turn off the pass lock then change the lcd density back.
The tablet was frozen, so I couldn't reboot it until the battery ran out completely and I recharged it. Fortunately, after that happened, suddenly the lockscreen size was normal and I could push the buttons again, yay!
Thanks for the helpful suggestions anyways guys.
I had the same issue but a hard reboot would solve the problem.
I am having a problem with the lockscreen on the One
I thought it may be using a different launcher, Nova. But I duplicated it when I went back to the Sense launcher I could see it
When I swipe up, it takes 4, 5, 6..or more times to swipe up the lock or clock to unlock
I can occasionally swipe the lock to the right and unlock it in a couple tries
Might someone have some suggestions as to the problem?
If so, great. If not, do you think a factory reset would fix this. I know how to backup the Nova page setup and settings, but I don't know how to back up the apps that are listed. How would I do that?
I've noticed with the stock lock screen, you have to drag stuff halfway across the screen. A quick swipe won't cut it. Not sure if that's what's happening in your case, but that frustrated me till I figured it out.
So I'm trying to use alternative lock screens like Picturesque and Next Lock Screen on my Nexus 6 running Chroma ROM.
This doesn't seem to be ROM specific.
I have a PIN, and I use Smart Lock with a pebble and locations for work and home.
On both lock screen apps, when I swipe to unlock I am presented with another lock screen, the stock lock screen, so I have to swipe a second time.
So Next lock screen - I swipe down to unlock, then I'm presented with another lock screen with notifications on it, where I have to swipe up to unlock (stock lock screen).
This is likely user error, but I can't figure it out how to only use 1 lock screen. Thanks for the help!
In android settings > security don't you just need to set the lock screen to none?

I guess without doing that only the 3rd party lock screen will be visible. Tried with go locker. Never had this duplicate luck screen issue. Though I used to have such issues with my galaxy s3 sometimes with a specific lock screen app.

That would work, but then I would lose all security on my phone (no pin unlock as a result of setting no lock screen).
This happened on other ROM's so I don't think it's specific to Chroma, but nobody else seems to be having this issue..?

Maybe you need a custom rom. Some have the option to turn swipe off when a PIN / Pattern is applied. At least on KK they did.
IMHO< The stock lock screen is too good to pass up so maybe not many people have tried. Or maybe some lockscreen apps seek to use root to turn off stock swipe (again they used to try)
I guess I'm going to hope this issue is fixed with 5.1.
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
After update to Android 9.0 with my P20 Pro (without factory reset). I found a problem with Magazine Unlock, it doesn't change randomized lock screen.
What should I do?
Thanks

Maybe your magazine unlock is paused. When your phone is locked try to swipe up from bottom of the display. There you will get resume/pause(||) option. Resume it. Let's us know if issue still persists.

Currently having the same problem as the OP. One moment it was working fine, and now it doesn't work at all. I have the magazine unlock setting on and ticked all the boxes and when I lock my phone it just shows the home screen wallpaper. I've checked the settings on the lock screen itself, there is a lock icon but when I press on it nothing happens. If I add my own images into the magazine unlock folder, they work fine and like the magazine unlock feature should work, but I really enjoyed seeing the random photos that would appear before. I honestly can not find a fix for this and I don't really want to factory reset my phone, so would really appreciate if someone has a work around for this.
Found the answer

You need to unlock your lockscreen wallpaper
Now, go to you lockscreen then swipe up from bottom
There are several settings there..
Press the locked icon
And you can change the time or another setting for your lockscreen wallpaper
So you can have your random magazine again..
Hope it helps you
I tried going through your steps DTsPro but sadly it wouldn't work. Like I said if I add my own pictures to the magazine unlock feature it works no problem and I can use the swipe up unlock/lock feature on the lock screen with those images, the moment I delete them and try to use the built in magazine unlock images, I just get a static image and I'm unable to select any of the icons on the lock screen settings however it says on wallpapers and themes that magazine unlock is selected... It is a very weird and somewhat annoying problem that I just can't seem to find a solution for, but thank you for at least trying to help
Same as me p20 I have problem as well. Magazine unlock, whatever I do it doesn't work at all. Any help plz
On lock screen swipe from bottom of screen. It will show couple of options. Don't let screen unlocked with face recognition or fingerprint. These options appears on the lock screen when you swipe from the bottom of screen on locked screen. There is a lock icon on these option, tap on it and unlock it. It will show message that screen will change everytime. Try these options with cool mind. I was not able to figure it out for weeks. But now I have and it work like charm.
simple solution as it might sound, but change your theme and keep going through the process untill it shows the pop-up msg asking you if you want to keep or discard Magazine unlock and choose to keep, Voiala it goes back again.
