[Q] NO Keyboard on ICS Alpha4

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.

Uhm let me see if I got this right:
For example you set face unlock, when you try to unlock the phone, the phone asks you for face unlock instead of the default unlock?
If that's the case, then yes. It's supposed to work that way.

u now using x z and it happens to u?
yeah i set for example face-lock mode, then the default disabled! and then i cannot return to default mode cause disabled by credentials and
i should factory reset it.
that default lock mode is not important but i thought it might be a problem or mistake by me!

Got it!
it s about Credentials that disabled swipe mode (default)
I removed credentials and then swipe became enable.

as in if you "clear credentials" at the bottom of that menu the default swipe unlock will return? does face unlock remain too?

it s about the level of security (in my experience)
if u choose high level for example pattern then the low level security will disable.
after i cleared all credentials all kind of lock screen return but for example my vpn connections losts
after that when i set pattern again and create vpn connections now i don have swipe again.
it seems logical rather than a bug.

Lock Screen Constant Slide Option

I have tried in my lock screen settings to change to pin or pattern but no matter what after I re-lock my phone I still get the option to swipe the screen and there is no pin or patter it goes right to the home screen. I am probably missing an option but there was no alternative options on my Galaxy S3. Any help guys?

Switch off screen lock disabled

Hey, I want to disable screen lock, but I can't.
I think it started when I tried the configuration of a VPN.
After that, I was forced to choose a lock and cannot disable it.
I erased VPN again, but still cannot choose the first two options without screen lock.
Any suggestions for solving?
Ah: I'm on CM10.1 20140725 unofficial Jena with 2.6.38.6 Kernel.
Thx.

Question pattern unlock?

silly question but I cant seem to find pattern unlock for lock screen option on x90pp? is it available? just wondering.
if so, where and how to set it? its a backup for fingerprint if i have wet hand or want someone to unlock etc..tight now i only see a passcode etc.

Press 'other password type' and choose 'pattern'
