Hi, on my mi9t phone that I got recently, I have noticed that whenever I am on an app, go back to the desktop and try to move an app or folder, the phone asks for my finger print to "unlock the desktop". Now I am using Evie Launcher instead of MIUI10 so it could be a part of that. I have looked through the settings of both (Evie and original settings) and there is no sign of a desktop lock feature. Please help, as it annoys me each time I open my desktop! Thanks.

Check on the home screen of the stock launcher, hold your finger on the screen and there is an option that says "Block home screen design" check that option and see if It helps

I have enabled widgets on the lock screen (Settings > Security...). From time to time I can see a big + (plus) sign on the lock screen, and by tapping it I am able to pick up a widget. After unlocking and locking again, the widget is gone and there is no plus sign anymore.
Does someone know what causes the plus sign to show up or how to revoke it?

The + sign is showed when you swipe left or right starting from the upper right or left corner of the screen.
I don't know for the rest of your problem, sorry ^^
Widgets don't disappear, they're just on another screen of your lockscreen. Swipe left or right around your clock and widgets you added will show. It's stupid, and it takes more than one try at first, but it is what it is.
You are both right. Now it works, but it is kind of useless.
Thanks anyway.

Well, I decided not to use lock screen. Now, with press of the power button I have everything needed at my disposal with no limits.

Isn't that related to the theme? I don't have them either so I can't be sure.
I just installed cm-11-20141022-UNOFFICIAL-w7-LG-D415 and would like to customize two things on my phone.
1. I would like to close the messenger so that when I unlock the screen, it isn't the first thing I see. I like to open my messages when I feel it's time to open them and not have to deal with them until I'm ready for them.
2. I would like to kill Yahoo Weather. I don't want it running every time I reboot my phone. If I want weather info, I can use my browser to get the info.
As a first time user of CM; I'm very impressed. With a little more TLC on my phone; I'm sure I'll be a very happy camper because of it.
Thanks to all of you who put more than a few tons of effort into this,
Jim

It may be that you're not swiping straight across the screen. There are 5 targets on your lock screen, and it just so happens that the messenger app target is just above the home screen target. I've attached a screen shot of my lock screen targets as an example. If you press and hold your unlock icon, the targets will display. Just swipe to the target you wish to open. How fast or slow you swipe doesn't matter as long as you stay in contact with the screen, you're golden!
You can disable the Yahoo weather info on your lock screen with the following steps:
- Open SETTINGS in app drawer
- Select LOCK SCREEN
- select CLOCK SETTINGS
- select DISPLAY WEATHER
- select button to turn off
- Exit using the BACK ICON located on top left of screen. Don't use the back key or your change may not be saved. I have attached screen shots for reference.
Enjoy! The devs on this phone are extremely helpful!

I tried your steps for Yahoo weather and didn't see a CLOCKS SETTINGS in LOCK SCREEN. No problem because just disabling the clock app fixed the problem.
The "Hold and Swipe" is a nice feature. I wonder if it can be customized.
Is there an easy way to turn the speaker phone on?
Thanks,
Jim

jran0880's steps, #3 "CLOCK SETTINGS" should be "Clock widget". There you'll find 3 entries, "Clock and alarm", "Weather panel", and "Calendar events". Select either on of those to manage it's settings.
Also, jran0880 is correct. The messaging app does NOT automatically show when unlocking the lock screen.
The targets can be customized. In your lock sceen settings, there's the option to Slider Shortcuts. Choose that and swipe to the one you wish to change. Tap the icon to change it and select the app name to change the app. If the app you want is not listed, press "apps" at the top of that list to show all your apps.
The speaker phone is located on lower left of your in call screen. 2nd icon from the left.
I did a reset on the Lock Screen and that made things just "peachy keen".
As for the weather and lock screen, etc.; there's no Clock Widget when I open Settings, Lock Screen. If this helps, I installed the Pico-GApps. Not sure if that makes a difference.

Hi, I recently got my p20 Pro and have some gripes if someone can help.
1. I like to use blue light filter. I want to use it all the time. Problem I have is, phone seems to turn it on and off depending on ambient light. I don't want this. There is some setting in display about automatically adjusting display based on ambient light and I have switched it off but no luck.
2. I installed nova launcher (prime version) and am struggling to use it. I want to add apps to homescreen and also to the bottom of screen. I cant do that. When I long press on home screen, I get option for setting, wallpaper and widgets but I can't seem to add apps.
3. I think the answer to this is No, but is there any way to get notification on always on display?
4. Is there a camera shortcut that can be used to lsu ch camera quickly even when inside phone. My old S7 had a shortcut by double tap home button.
Any help please.
Edited to add 4th question..

I don't think there is a way to do this, other than use a third party app that does the same thing.

For Nova, you go into your main drawer and just hold down the app and then you can drag it to your homescreen
3. I think the answer to this is No, but is there any way to get notification on always on display?
No notifications on the ambient display, unless EMUI 9.0 as fixed this. However 8.0 and 8.1 do not have this function.
4. Is there a camera shortcut that can be used to lsu ch camera quickly even when inside phone. My old S7 had a shortcut by double tap home button.
The only quick action button you have for the camera is to go into its settings and choose the "ultra snapshot" option right at the bottom of the settings menu. This will give you the option of double pressing the volume down to take a quick snapshot and gets the camera activated.
Any help please.
Firstly.
Instagram app turns into dark mode automatically by itself and nothing can be seen especially if u go to setting options. It happens most of the time. I have to restart everytime this happens. Does it happen to you all?

I think AOD (Always On Display) has something to do with it but it seems that the option to change the custom text on Lock Screen is removed from OP10 Pro. If true, it is pretty stupid. I mean remove the text set during earlier OS versions and remove the option.
Now I have a text there which could be a wrong info (ex-wife and such) but no option to edit/remove it!
Any help please.
I think you are looking for this...
Settings; personalizations; always on display; display settings; display message.
Is that it?
First of all, thanks for replying.
I do not have Personalizations at all, under Settings. "Always-On Display" is found under Settings > Wallpapers and style > AOD. Under this > More Display Settings > Info does show some info that I can add/remove, but can't edit the message that was already set before OOS13
BTW I am on OOS13.0 (Android 13), v NE2211_11_C.20. No root, no magisk, no customization of any type!

Made an account just to post this and come out of my lurker hole.
To get Google pay option in the lock screen shortcut section available, I have to open "wallet" from the status bar drop down menu. If you open the wallet app this will not work.
Once wallet is opened from the drop down menu's icon, three dots on top right will have 1 option for lock screen settings. Click that and the first option is to change lock screen message text and the first toggle option is to allow wallet access from lock screen shortcut.
Here you can fix your text and or make that other setting available for use.
These lock screen settings are only accessible through this drop down quick menu that I have found and not the wallet app for some odd reason.
I accidentally set a "test" text to see where it would be placed and then couldn't get back to the setting and spent the next 8 hours trying to find it.
Hope this helps all who are as confused as I was.
Probably try Google Assistant application, by voice searching through it for "lock screen text" . It worked for me on Android 13 (OnePlus phone)

The issue is with the AOD custom text message, not the locksreen one.
