[Q] Samsung S5 G900A Lock Screen shenanigans - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

I have the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S5 G900A and am experiencing odd behavior related to the lock screen.
1.) "Screen Lock" method, once changed, doesn't take effect until reboot
2.) All "Screen Lock" methods reverts to "Swipe" to unlock after unlocking once.
3.) To change "Screen Lock" method back I have to goto "Settings -> Sound and Display -> Lock Screen -> Screen Lock -> <method type>" then reboot and again after unlocking once it reverts to "Swipe" method.
Potentially relevant history:
Phone is rooted using Towel Root
Xposed is installed
Applied this fix for S Health by editing build.prob from “ro.securestorage.support=true” to "“ro.securestorage.support=false”"
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
UPDATE : n/m figured it out.
At the bottom of the screen w/ the lock screen settings there's an option to set when to activate the lock screen and by default this was set to 10 min's and I just had to change it to be instant when press power button or whenever the screen timed out.

Issues with smartlock!

I'm wondering if anyone struggling with Smartlock as hard as I do
I have deodex OC4 rooted! First time I was setting up new device I came from NG3 - ND3 down - Towelroot - OC4 deodex. Smartlock didn't work for me at all (I tried all type of combinations fingertip, pattern, code, pin and trusted devices/places/on-body didn't try trusted voice), really nothing worked! At the same time I had all these options in smartlock menu. I was suspecting that gps works too slow/bad/inaccurate and can't detect trusted location immediately as I try to unlock my S5. So Itried TopNTP app, something went wrong (apparently) and my cell stuck in a bootloop. I had to downgrade to NCA with Odin - Towelroot - OC4 deodex again. But this time I might installed/updated apps differently and trusted devices/trusted voice/trusted places work like a charm with the pattern lock! BUT I don't have "on-body detection" option at all and it's a nice one. Stupid touchwiz and locked bootloader are killing me. Please help!!!
Offtop: I got my old LG G3, loaded Cloudy 2.3 (mostly stock ROM) and all smart-lock options and any combinations work 100% without any issues at all!

[Q] reactivation lock option missing

I just got a hand me down Samsung galaxy note 3 from my mother. I've been trying to root it, but have been unsuccessful. I've tried kingroot, towelroot, and odin. Odin seems to be the one where someone has solved the problem I'm initially having, but made me find another problem. The initial solution was to unchecked the reactivation lock option in the security settings., but that option is not available.
I did do a successful factory reset and activation after I received the phone.
Has any come across the missing reactivation lock option, and found a solution?

Unable to disable developer mode. Also, lost OS update notification.

I recently enabled developer mode on my Mi 5 running stock V9.2.1.0 NAAMIEK.
Am unable to disable developer mode again though. When I toggle the mode, it switches off fine.. but appears switched on whenever I enter the developer settings again.
Also, I saw a notification for an OS update before I did that.. but it doesn't appear anymore.
What's causing this?
Thanks
Earlier whole factory reset was required to remove the option. Easy fix : Open Settings > Apps > find Settings > Clear data. Reopen Settings, developer options should be gone.
P.S. Developer options doesn't void your warranty, so if there is an ota update you will receive it. Check whether Automatic system updates is enabled in the Developer options.
