Maybe an odd question.
Is it possible to have the slide to unlock screen available if you use a patter to unlock the screen?
I know if you use a pin the slide to unlock still shows.

Not on an aosp rom, no. On a sense rom you can. Just remove the htclockscreen.apk, and you'll be left with the vanilla unlock screen. If you have a pattern enabled, it still comes up after unlocking the slider. (Again, only on a sense rom)

I agree. I like having the lockscreen and pattern unlock. That way I can use music controls on the lockscreen, and still keep my phone locked with the pattern.

I'll see if I can't get it added as a feature request for CM.
Try widget locker. Any widget you can add to the regular home screen can be added to the lock screen, including music controls, etc.
I have mine set up such that all the apps I normally use are available from the lockscreen. This way, don't have to multiple tap to get to them.
Don't mind the duplicate calculators..

Does that cause any lag? When I tried widget locker a long time ago, it lagged. My phone on wake up.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
The only lag I notice is when booting, and possibly the first wakeup after sleep after a reboot. There after, it seems to wake up relatively fast (1/2 second?) Is it an instant wake, no, but I can live with waiting a split moment to have the functionality of not having swipe then tap, or swipe then tap twice to get to something.
Like you, I tried it some months back and thought it was a piece of garbage. I was reluctant to try it again, but got spoiled with CM7's multiple sliders on the lock screen. Having returned back to sense for other reasons, I missed that functionality.

Thanks for the response. I may consider giving it another try.
If you plan on using this with cm7, keep in mind, actual widgets on the lock screen only work with the standard system theme. With other themes, the widgets disappear after a reboot.

It's stupid little bugs like this that annoy the crap out of me. So much for final I can't stand the green, so I just have shortcuts on the lock screen. In fact, I could almost tolerate the green, but it changes the theme of the status bar pull down widget to a light grey instead of a more black.

Yea, I saw that yesterday.
Hi I love the new "slide" lock screen. I love sliding the round "thingy" to unlock the screen or to get to the camera. I used to use the locker widget on my sgs2 but I want to stick to stock android as much as possible and getting rid of all those "addons" is a joy ;-) now the only thing that bothers me is that I can't lock my lock screen with the "slide" lock screen and put a pin in case I loose my galaxy nexus...(I know that sound cheesy) Can someone give me a hint? I do not want to use an extra plugin for this simple feature to work...
Cheers,
Silentbob

If you use an app like WidgetLocker you can set it up so that widget locker is your main lockscreen and you can make it look exactly like the stock lockscreen. Then if you enable pin unlock you can make it request for a pin after you unlock with widgetlocker

I'm confused here. Blur did this on my DX and it drove me crazy because no functionality from the slide lock screen other than vibrate adjustment. Does the OP want to have the slide lock on top so that it's possible to use the slide lock features on ICS? I would imagine with that a pin lock below, those features would still require pin lock entry. Perhaps I'm confused with the work flow that the OP wants.

Thank u for the time you have taken to write this help full comment.
Hi to all and thanks for your feedback. I think there is some need to better explain the reason I would like to use the swipe to unlock feature and at the same time have a pin lock.
I need a quick way to access to my camera app from the lock screen. I take a ton of images this way and I love the feature of the iPhone where you can take images from the lock screen very quickly but u need a pin to enter to the springboard. I hoped that this would be possible with stock android. As I asked in my first post I don't want to install the Lockscreenwidget. It has way to many options and some times it does not work. So now I hope that my intent is better understandable.
Thank you very much

I figured that's what you meant. Yeah, it would be a nice feature if you snap a photo or adjust the volume without entering the homescreen. Alas, to my knowledge, that functionality doesn't exist with a PIN. It's the app market for you my friend, and maybe Seekdroid in case you lose your phone and want to wipe it (assuming you are paranoid about security).

My lock screen...
WARNING: Currently there is no known way to reset the lockscreen back to Sense (without wiping your device)! Only continue if you really want to remove the Sense lockscreen!
I'm sure you've noticed all the posts on how to install a custom launcher, or how to get back the stock lock screen. Sadly, a lot of methods on this require root. Well, while I was prodding around my One, I found a method of disabling the Sense lock screen. Here's how I (think) I did it:
1. Download a file browser (I recommend ES File Explorer)
2. Navigate to /system/app
3. Find "HTCLockScreen.apk" and copy it to /sdcard
4. Navigate to /sdcard and try installing the APK (you'll need unknown sources enabled for this).
6. It may or may not say that the installation failed. Ignore that and restart the phone.
7. Enjoy!
Now, this is what I think is causing the HTC lockscreen to be disabled, although I'm not sure. Post a response with your results.
~~~~~~~~
Now, for those of you who want the stock launcher instead of custom one (like Nova or Apex), here's an APK you can install to get just that: http://goo.gl/cwdtHO
Hope this helps some people!
Nevermind.
Shouldn't, in theory at least, when you try to install that APK, it is placing something in /data/, which is writeable, so when the APK that is in /system/ checks, it finds two versions, one which has the permission to override the default, and one who doesn't?
I could be completely wrong there.

How exactly would we go back to the Sense lock screen if we changed our mind?
I just tried, and yes. It does persist through reboots.

Yeah, I don't think you can really customize how this AOSP lockscreen works without setting it up beforehand. I would like to get the AOSP lockscreen with DashClock and pin unlock. I wonder if that's possible.

I've got an idea of how to fix that, just need to test it.
yeah this worked, but like the others, no customization available and I can't get sense back atm. Luckily I like this lockscreen better, just wish I could put dashclock in and add other widgets

I already restored my backup, but can you try hitting "Clear Credentials" in Security settings to see if it will then allow you to switch to no security for customization? I forgot to try this beforehand.

Customization worked for me. What I had to do was remove all existing widgets (swipe down from home screen > long press and drag to remove) **I think I had to do this twice** and then my lock screen was blank no clock just the lock icon with swipe to unlock.
Then go to settings > personalize and select the "widget" lock screen option, select settings and pick the widget you want. I used Chronus (CLock from CyanogenMod). I then locked and unlocked my device and the widget now shows on the screen.

Maybe an issue with you using the custom rom vs. me being stock?
Sorry about the Google Drive link, forgot you have to manually allow people to download. I'll add a new link soon.
Can someone take a screenshot of what it looks like on their phone after the switch?

From the lockscreen im using pattern unlock, tap on emergency call from emergency call page tap either navbar back or the hardware button back and your unlocked to the desktop
Im using the stock lockscreen on zf2 (which sucks coz i cant customize it), nova 4.0.1 launcher.

Not happening with me... I tried doing everything but it returns me to the pattern lock page only... i even tried to see if notification bar/quick settings open up but they don't... I am on Nova launcher prime 3.3
Doesn't do that for me. I also use a pattern and clicking back from the navbar or the back button drops me back to the pattern. I'm on the latest firmware and using Nova Prime 4.0.1.
Unrelated, but I love the Smart Lock option from the Security options in the settings. Allows you to specify safe locations for the screen lock so you don't have to keep unlocking it when at home etc.

Hi,
yesterday I became 5x owner and I read everything about problems with unlocking with FP If you use "lock sreen app for it".
But that's not problem, since my phone is rooted and I can use one of solutions.
My question is ...
Is there any solution to use JUST fingerprint unlock, without having PIN code/pattern. Why?
If you press power button to get lock screens on and than tap on notification (SMS, email) you have to put PIN. And that's annoying.
If i use FP unlock than you came directly on home screen and in you have to open taskbar to see notification...and that's annoying too.
Or maybe same question from the other side. Is there any solution to open notification from lockscreen without PIN code/pattern, BUT with fingerprint on.
I also noticed that form ambient screen I can double tap notification, but again, PIN code/pattern ...
Thanks for help!
Even I wanna know a solution to this.

Tap the notification on the lockscreen. When the PIN entry appears, do the fingerprint thing and it will take you to the app that was making the notification. It works, but is kind of awkward.

oh jeah, i realized ... Thanks. Really awkw.
Is there no other more elegant way? I don't want the damn PIN at all.
I just want a pure stock way not to use the power button so much (not gravity screen), which is what I thought the FP was all about.
I guess I could use a really simple pattern...so it's super quick. Annoying though.
Why is it that we are still having to adapt our behaviour to technology? That is the opposite of good HUI design.

I'd thank you, but I'v used up my thanks for today (!!). So, a cheery "thanks mate" will have to suffice.
I do wonder a few things though.
1. Does Secure Settings need root to do what you suggest? I'm not rooted.
2. The closest thing I can find is the Keyguard Disable, which is a legacy feature and presents a warning that it may make my device unstable and it therefore not recommended. Is this the correct setting for my n5x 6.0.1 April?
3. I couldn't see any obvious option in Secure Settings to set a PIN or Pass.
Thanks.
You can delete all the files with .key extension in system/data folder using file manager in TWRP. It will give you fingerprint+no pattern as you want it to be.
are there any news on this topic? Im really interested in using my fingerprint sensor without setting a pin. I tried the method with secure settings app, but I cant find an option to set a pin with the app. I also tried to find my files with .key extensions in my system/data folder but there werent such files. gururoop said I need to use file manager in TWRP to do so, I dont even know what TWRP is.
Any other ways to get this accomplished? Did you find a solution tedrogers61?
You need to be rooted to delete the files. You only need to remove /data/system/locksettings.db
hmm well okay. Im actually not so happy with rooting my device. No other chance to use imprint without setting an additional pin/passwort?
Simplest way to use set unset PIN/PASSWORD in Secure Settings is by temporarily adding a home screen shortcut (via launcher widgets/shortcuts). The process of creating the shortcut brings you to the screens for selecting the actions (Dev Admin actions). Secure Settings needs to have Device Administrator permission. Once you are set up if just delete the shortcuts. No Root required for this.
