Hi Guys,
Im using MIUI (excatly now MIUI Mint Berry 1.10.28) and i would like to use pattern screen unlock security, but it doesnt work. :/ Every time when i set a pattern variation and unlock the screen, my phone lost this setting. I mean the pattern unlock appear once and after that i have to set it again.
And this problem also was in another MIUI roms.
Thanks Ur helps and sorry for my english
I'm using the same rom as you and the pattern unlock is working great...
Have you try to flash the Rom new, or download it again and flash it again maybe it works i hope

Have you tried wiping data? and photos are on your sd card/internal storage, which is not your system, data, or cache partitions.
or if ur phone is rooted then there are a lot of tutuorials to tell you how to bypass it
Hello,
I have Moto G 2nd Gen with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop, unfortunately by mistake I created pattern unlock and now I'm not able to remove it, I don't want to keep pattern unlock want swipe unlock, when I try to change it it only shows three options Pattern, Pin, and Password no Swipe or Non options are there.
Friends can anyone help me and guide me to remove pattern unlock.

Do you have gast user activated? If so, disable it, maybe it helps.

Step 1: Go to Settings >> Security
Step 2: Device Administrators. See if anything other than Android Device Manager is checked. (If something is checked, it's possible it's forcing a higher level of security.)
Step 3: Uncheck it if there is. And check the screen lock options again.
Still got nothing? No problem.
Optional Step 4: Go to Settings >> Security >> Clear credentials.
I've added screenshots for each step. (Don't worry, I've already cleared my Credentials, that is why that option was unavailable in the Screenshot. But you'll get yours.)
Voila. You are done.
Give a Thanks, if it helped.
Many Many Thanks Theroxstar Bro,
Step 4th worked for me and now I have enabled Swipe Unlock in my Moto G 2nd Gen, Once again Thank You Bro for helping guiding me

Delete (or rename) the following files inside /data/system (note that probably not all of them exist for you, simply delete those you can find):
password.key
pattern.key
basically any .key file in that folder
Using TWRP file manager (its under advanced)
Thanks man. Problem is, I could only see my device on PC if phone was started via twrp. If not, device shows on PC when plugged in but won't show any files.
I have booted phone into recovery, seems that it will let me do that. Is that any help?. Mrs has just come back from work.... Gulp!
Ohhhhh maaaaan. You are the don!!!!!. I'm in now, you sir are a star!. How can I now get the phone back to having password?. Have I buggered it as I deleted the files??

nope just open settings, security and choose a new lock method. might be a bit buggy, if it asks you for an existing pin whilst setting the new lock screen either enter anything or leave it blank. then set your pin hit thanks if i helped

Hmm. Not going so well now. I'm doing the following:
Security> screen lock. 'Confirm pin'. I enter a pin, then either a) press 'OK'... Screen goes back to 'security & fingerprint' screen. Shows 'screenlock none'. Or, if I try to previous then press forward arrow on keypad (rather than pressing OK), it goes to blank screen with left facing arrow at top of screen saying 'choose screen lock'?.
I've also noticed that in security & screenlock screen, it shows 'finger 1' under fingerprint list. Like it still has a fingerprint saved.

Yeah the fingerprint will be saved, i cant remember exactly how i did it (i'm not doing it on my phone as my bank already hate me for being rooted and registering android pay like 20 times a month) - if i remember i enter a pin, then choose either pin again or none, and after none go back to pin. I think that worked, but don't hold me to it - it's easy to recover i just dont have a device in that state to try. I could teamviewer your phone if you want me to and sort it haha. Just have a mess around to see what happens, one combination of that should work. Basically android still thinks you have a pin, but it's physically not there.

Haha, ta bud. I'll have a fiddle with it
Tried every combination of fiddling that I can. Wondered, if I dirty flash copy of OOS 4.02 over current ROM, would it sort it?. Would I lose root & unlocked bootloader etc if I do this?

I'll shoot you a pm if I run into more probs in my quest to pimp the phone . Its all a learning game lol. Opo3t is certainly blowing away my modded n6 so far lol and I'm still only using the standard ROM. Can't wait for some of the nexus devs to make it over to the one+ with uber quick ROMs/kernels

Hello,
I lose the lock and unlock sounds, because I tried to change it by adb comands like an old post that works on others devices I have, creating media folder and put the files here, and using the correct commands.
But now, with the unlock sounds buttom on (sorry for my bad english) I hear nothing while lock and unlock my phone.
Anyone can help me with this?
Many thanks for your attention.
