I'm not a big fan of the EMUI lock screen player controls for Spotify (and a few other apps). They aren't formatted correctly and look bad.
I've tried replacing the lock screen with several different 3rd party ones to take advantage of their music controls.
If you don't disable the EMUI lock screen (in developer options), then it interferes with the replacement screen.
Disabling the original lock screen also disables the fingerprint (and face unlock) security features of the phone FOR ALL PURPOSES.
Trying to reactivate the fingerprint security or register a fingerprint actually just reactivates the EMUI lock screen and your back to square one.
I can sacrifice face ulnock, but losing fingerprint unlock entirely is quite annoying.
Does anyone know of a workaround for this?

Hi guys, i'm trying to use the fingerprint scanner but it seems after the first time i enable it and use it, it disables itself when i lock the screen again and try to use it. So after the first time it works fine, but then when i lock and try to unlock again it asks me to "swipe to unlock" rather than use the fingerprint scanner. so ultimately it changes to swipe unlock after the first time using the fingerprint sensor upon activating it in settings....is this an issue? im a samsung noobie btw
Did you adjust the security lock time out under the lock screen settings after you enabled the fingerprint lock?

goddamn it....secured lock time was set to 30 minutes
I figured it out! thanks for the heads up!
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,
I'm trying to make a task that opens an app when an NFC tag is read. Basically when I play piano I have a phone stand on the piano and I use an app called guitar tabs to bring up chords for songs that I don't know overly well. So I stuck an NFC tag on the back of the stand so when I place my phone on the stand it'll automatically unlock my phone and launches the app. So far works great I'm using wanam xposed to allow NFC tags to be read even with screen off, phone unlocks itself and launches the app.
However I have fingerprint lock enabled with smart lock too which is set up with my Gear S2 as a trusted device. While I can get it to unlock fine using secure settings > pass/pin lock thing set to disable (just seems to bypass the lock screen this way) I can't get it to re-able the fingerprint lock. It just leaves it as swipe lock. While I'm running a note 4 with a note 5 rom on 5.1.1 the secure settings > custom rom > Samsung fingerprint lock doesn't seem to have an effect on the setting. Is there anyway I can automatically enable the finger print lock again?
Hey guys, I'm wondering, does anybody knows how to remove unnecessary swipe on the lock screen after the face has been recognized.
I'm running 9.0 stable and face recognition works but it's really annoying to swipe up every time after the scan.
Thanks
It is smartlock and it works like this. You can not do anything . Nokia said they are implementing face unlock and for some time the China variant had it but now it was removed.
I read that some where it has been rejected over patent
"Face unlock"
I am trying to enable pick up to wake WITH face unlock. The lift to wake feature in settings works with face unlock, but it is not sensitive enough to use regularly and cannot adjust sensitivity. Third party apps in the app store pick up to wake work perfectly, but without face unlock. There are no settings in 3rd party apps to enable this. Please advise on how to enable pick up to wake with face unlock as I am trying to unlock phone without any buttons.
