Hello dear XDA-people
I hope this is the right forum. If not, I`m sorry
I use my beloved Galaxy S10 with the official LineageOS20 ROM and, compared to 19.1, so far everything seemed to work perfectly.
For my lock-screen, I've been using a 5x5 pattern lock size for years. Since Google itself can only use a 3x3 size (which is important in case of my phone being stolen, breaking etc), I finally chose to change my lock screen back into a 3x3 size. Which comes with a problem i couldnt solve so far:
I can change my lock pattern size in the settings. But it doesnt change on the actual lock screen. It stays 5x5. But if I unlock my phone wth my fingerprint, and go into the settings to change the pattern size back, its 3x3. So my pattern size on the actual lock screen stays 5x5, even though I changed it into 3x3.
(Since I am not sure if my new pattern (made on 3x3) still somehow works on the 5x5 screen, I didnt try to make it work. I dont want to completely lock my phone.)
Did anybody have the same weird problem with the lock pattern size on LineageOS20 on the Galaxy S10? I`m using the latest Update, btw.
Kind regards

I love my newly rooted Aria... I do however miss my lock screen. I loved having the Aria lock, where you pull the whole lock screen down to get to your apps. With CM6 you get the slide bar to unlock. It's not terrible, but I'd really really prefer to use the old Aria lock screen... Anyone know if this is available anywhere or how I go about doing it? Thanks in advance...
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I BELIEVE that lock screen is sense ui and since sense (that sounds weird) is proprietary it cannot be added to CM6...there are however many lock screen apps that will allow you to choose something remarkably similar to the sense lock screen...widget locker is one of them.
Also, how did you manage to get the slide? When I unlock (bring my phone back from standby) it just shows me my visible dots for unlock pattern and once I enter that brings me to my home screen...

Hm, did you try just disabling your lock pattern? It's either in the CM6 settings or the ADW Launcher settings. By default after I rooted my phone the lock screen was a little slider bar, not like the iphone slider, it was a little tab on the left of the screen and when you hold it you slide it to the right. I ended up just disabling my lock screen completely but would go back to the old sense lock if I figure out how. I do remember reading somewhere that disabling the dot lock pattern will default to the slider lock screen, should work for you.
I think ever since CM nightly 37, my lockscreen is gone. No matter whether it's waking up from sleep, or reboot, my nook color never asked for password and anyone can access it!
I went to the setting -> location & security, the screen unlock option is still "change screen lock". Upon clicking it, I need to input my old password to change to a new one. However this is the only place that it asks me for password.
I tried disable password, then enable. No help.
I tried changing lockscreen setting in CM settings, no help either.
I'm running on CM7 stable now, and the problem is still there. Please help! I can't leave my nook color unprotected.
FYI, I used ROM manager for all ROM updates. The screenlock worked before.
It's a Tablet Tweaks setting, on by default.
Settings -> CyanogenMod settings -> Tablet tweaks -> Disable Lockscreen
Thanks. The lock screen appeared! However, it's at an unusual size, as large as a phone's screen. As a result I couldn't see half of the keyboard to input my full password. Is there a way to have a larger lock screen? Is it the set lcd density trick?

That I don't know. I've never tried adding a password lock, only using the various sliders/rotates on the lock screen.
go to spare parts, unclick compatibility mode

Cool. That solved it.
FYI, it was unselected. So I selected it, unselected, then reboot, then bingo!

I had the same lock-screen issue once I enabled it on CM7 stable. I simply rebooted and it fixed it.
what im trying to say is, can i have the glass lock screen and a pattern, and swipe the lock screen without the pattern , THEN have the pattern to show up? im on Continuum 5.6, thanks for any info.

shouldn't you be able to do that if you enable both the regular lock screen and the pattern unlock?
Another option is to get widgetlocker, with this you can customize lock screen and if you have the pattern enabled it will come up AFTER the lock screen, or atleast thats what it did for me.
yah i use to use widgetocker but no glass lockscreen and music controls.
on the newest version of widget locker theres an option for the SGS style which is more or less the glass screen and u can add the music widget onto it.
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. My Magazine Unlock is not working properly. I set it in Themes and it shows as marked in Settings-Screen lock & passwords-Screen lock style so should be working fine. Despite that it doesn't show any photos on lock screen and there are no controls when I swipe from the bottom of lock screen (I mean play, next and so on).
I tried to put some photos manually into MagazineUnlock folder on internal memory but they don't appear on lock screen. Anyone knows how to make it work again and update the photos?
I've recently updated to EVA-L09C432B170 via dload method. May that be the cause?
Same issue here.
After flashing via dload method (and even back to the old firmware) I lost magazine unlock.
Have also tried downloading the stock themes and selecting them, but even though it says selected under Settings, lock screen remains the same static wallpaper image with no controls after swiping.
EDIT: turns out only the 'Black Label' theme enabled MagazineUnlock for me. I previously had Default(MagazineUnlock) but it didn't work, despite the name. Also needs to be under System/Theme, not just under SDCard/HWTheme
Someone knows an answer to this? I have the same problem currently and have no idea how to restore the functionality of the magazine unlock. Themes are shown in the theme manager and some even with the addition of "(Magazin unlock)", but it is not working even if selected.
mine wasnt working until i pressed this button ( the highlighted one in the pic) after that it started working again

hi. i had the same problem, had to change the theme to obsidian, then magazine unlock started working again.
What worked for me guys, is this...
When you activate your screen and keep seeing the same wallpaper (not magazine), simply DELETE the annoying wallpaper that won't change. Also make sure there is no "Lock" on the padlock on bottom left corner.
Hope this makes sense and helps someone from going crazy trying to figure it out
