Hello XDA community,
Is there a way to lock spesific apps under pattern, pin or fingerprint different than the one used to unlock device and other apps? I need to do this through settings without installing a new app.
I am under global rom 7.5.2.0.
Thank you...

That functionality might have been ripped off from the rom you are using.
You could try widget locker from the play store. I don't know if it has any password options tho, never used it.
Also, try searching "lockscreen" in the market.

It requires adb and that usb debugging is enabled on the phone ?
a factory reset will also remove pattern lock, But lets not go down that route just yet. Ill keep scanning for the app and let you know :good:
EDIT: The app (ironically) is called Screen Lock Bypass https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.thomascannon.screenlockbypass.fix
I guess there is an other option of unlocking with your backup pin

yes this app do work as you need to login to playstore and install the app from there.. the paid app works..
or if was rooted, then can do a nandroid backup and then do a factory reset and restore using Titanium backup
You can use samsung dive to unlock your phone

Hi XDA, I'm new to this, and I finally decided to use XDA since I've found lots of use out of it. In search for a good android support community I think I found one. I have a nexus 6 with smart lock enabled. Usually you can push the little lock icon on the lock screen to lock your phone with the pin even if you are at a trusted location or connected to a trusted device etc. I used to use this a lot, but it just stopped working one day. Unfortunately I don't know when or what could have caused it. I am not aware of any setting that toggles it and I don't get any error, just no response when I click it. Although I don't think its the cause, I am rooted, I have twrp, tasker, and titanium backup with nothing important frozen. I would really appreciate the help and would like to avoid wiping my phone to fix this. If that's what I need to do then so be it, its really annoying though!
Thanks,
Buggy687

Are you using a smart watch for smartlock? do you have tasker disabling bluetooth?
Thank you for your reply. No i do not have a smart watch (anymore) and I disabled tasker and restarted to see if it had caused any issues.

Hi,
For some reason, the camera app does not open on the lock screen anymore. Instead, it now prompts me to enter my password, after which it opens the app. How do I fix this problem?
Thank you!

The solution is remove your password. Then it will open the app directly.
This behavior is normal it SHOULD ask for a password before opening the camera app because if not anyone could look at my photos and use the phone.

Hi,
Thanks for the info!
Is there a reason why other android devices (ex. Nexus 5) allow access to the camera from the lock screen without having you enter the password? I remember that you could have access to the camera, even if you had enabled some kind of security lock.
Thank you so much!

Incorrect. Even with password the camera app should open with the twist/slide option but when you slide to open gallery then the password is asked, that's how is working.
How do I remove password protection when I want to start the camera from the lock screen?

Hi, is it possible to use the fingerprint with apps like bank, paypal, etc. without set up a password or an unlock pattern?
Thanks for your response.
No the Device needs to be secure before these apps will allow it as an option
