Sorry, I'm not exactly sure what you mean.
But, if you go to Settings -> Buttons & Inputs -> Easy Wake Mode, you have the option of enabling/disabling.

I've disabled easy mode now. But when I press home key while widget locker is active it unlocks the phone...anyway to stop home key from responding while widget locker is active?

Ah, gotcha, I get what you mean now.
Unfortunately, I can't figure it out either. One of the menus in Widgetlocker says it has no control over what buttons wake the device because that is controlled by the Android OS, so it doesn't look like that can be changed.
However, I do recall that in VillainTweaks for VillainRom there is an option for disabling the home button for the lockscreen. I don't know if you're on VillainRom or if that option will work for Widgetlocker or just the stock lockscreen, but that might be helpful.

Hi,
You can disable the home key to wake up the device:

FingerPrint issue while using Lock Screen app

Hi there,
I'm using a Lock Screen app for ages now.
it's an app that turns off the screen without having to press the physical power button.
This one, for example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=wq.lockscreen
The issue started since installing the lock screen app and now I can't unlock the phone using my finger print, but only using the pattern. I tried several apps now and none of them worked for me. Only when I uninstall the app the finger print function works flawlessly..
Does anyone here came across this king of issue and found a solution ?
Thanks, guys !

There is a setting for "Smart lock and Nexus imprint" Says Experimental. Works every time for me.

It's a mm issue, not your hardware or software.
The confirmed workaround is use root and nova prime gesture to lock ie double tap/swipe down or up etc. Nova launcher prime is on a sale now too, double goodness

I'm using Nova for along time now, i know there's an option to add a gesture in order to lock the screen, but it doesn't work like any other app i've tried. I don't have root yet on my device, but Nova hasn't asked me for root either.

I'm not sure how it works without root. Give it a try though. It works the same as other lock apps except you're using nova gestures in the home screen.

That's the problem here, all other lock apps can't make it work.
Iv'e tried with Nova now, same issue :\

Any app that offers a real screen off without lock function (which wouldn't interfere with Imprint) needs root to do so.
Nearly all of the apps that provide a screen off function without root use the same API method which by design or oversight on the part of Google overrides both Nexus Imprint unlocking and Smart Lock settings on 5.x devices.
There is a Google Issue tracker thread here - star if this design decision/oversight irritates you - https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=191955
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iglint.android.screenlockpro has a working method but it is really just smoke and mirrors, not a true screen off action.
All it does is temporarily reduce the screen timeout to a minimum value (10 seconds) and sets a black screen overlay until the screen has naturally turned off. It works fine unless you invoke the shortcut and decide within 10 seconds that actually you wanted your screen on.
Nova can't do it with it's standard method either.

If you already use an automation app like Tasker or MacroDroid along with Secure Settings (I prefer MacroDroid) it's pretty easy to emulate the https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iglint.android.screenlockpro workaround and add some extra functionality to cancel the delayed real screen off if you decide you want to interact with the device in the few seconds after activating
Basically the steps are:
Use Secure Settings to set screen timeout to 1 millisecond (this actually results in a 7 second screen time out)
Set brightness to minimum
Set a 100% screen dim
Set Immersive Mode (MacroDroid doesn't support this natively dunno about Tasker - but there are apps that support this via intent so doable).
Reverse the above when the Screen off system broadcast is received and on whatever trigger event you like - I've got a proximity sensor wave to wake set up anyway via MacroDroid so just use that.

Fingerprint unlock without PIN-code set

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.

Disable HTC 10 Lockscreen

Is there a way to disable the HTC10 lock screen with the weather and all? I want to get something simple like Cyanogen mod

are you rooted or on custom rom...
if you are on either then you can remove htc lock and weather apps and it would default back to AOSP lock screen which is neat

You don't need to be rooted. You can use the Debloater app found here on XDA and disable the lockscreen and reboot

Hijacking this thread, since you seem to have experience with using this debloater app. When I tried it I couldn't get the stock lock screen while having any password and fingerprint sensor protection. It worked fine with just the swipe to unlock, but if I enabled any secure unlock it would just bypass the lockscreen. Any solutions to this?

whenever you remove htc lockscreen even if the fingerprint scanner it doesn't you would need to set your fp again... thats what we had to do...
security and set fingerprint again...
not sure if debloater does in any other way...

It's still the same for me. If I enable any kind of security (PIN or fp or both) the phone just bypasses the lockscreen. Really weird. Do I have to disable anything else other than the HtcLockScreen.apk?

Download any Terminal Emulator from PlayStore.
Open it and type:
su (allow root access)
pm hide com.htc.lockscreen
But it will disable WakeGestures too.
If you want them back check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/themes/xposed-htc-media-gestures-t3486376/page1

Thanks and with terminal emulator from phone or worked.
But after the reboot it shows no lock screen...I mean...neither the Marshmallow default one, which I thought should be there after disabling HTC lock screen.
So there's really no way to have a STOCK lock screen instead of the HTC one?

I used the same methode and I have the stock lockscreen.
I'm not sure what went wrong on your side.
Maybe try to disable and re-enable the lockscreen in security settings.

No, I mean, the stock lock screen is there, but isn't showed when I tap on the home screen like with HTC lock screen...the only way to show the stock lock screen is to press the power button... if I touch the home button the phone immediately go to home screen, when fingerprint is recognised...
This is how Nexus/pixel phone works?
If yes...well... everything is normal then...and I've done my job right with terminal...

Ah okay, now I understand what you mean.
This is one advantage of the default lockscreen. Unlocking the phone with fingerprint is much faster.
You have three options:
- Use power button to see the lockscreen
- Use double tap to wake to see the lockscreen (you need xposed for this)
- Use GravityBox. You can change how the lockscreen react after you use the homebutton (unlock the phone directly or just show the lockscreen - you need xposed for this)

For information, double tap to see lock screen...you know the module? I already have xposed with N-Ify module active...
Gravity box i know the module but never installed by now.
I saw that with Nexus 5X works the same, fingerprint unlock immediately, touch the sensor only vibrate (if fingerprint not recognized), power button show lockscreen.

on screen instant lock shortcut

Hi
I use nova launcher prime and am used to a shortcut on my screen to quickly lock the screen instead of using the hardware button to lock the screen. However since I have moved over to p2.. After I press the lock screen shortcut from nova the screen for goes black but the screen isn't locked... It is not till 10 secs later when the screen actually locks
I hate this feature as it stops me from putting the phone into my pocket instantly after locking. How to fix this? I have set up power button to instantly lock the phone after sleep.

It's not P2s problem it's Android's security feature. You'll need root access to instantly lock screen

But from quicktiles there is an icon to do it

Thanks yes i came across that as well... However it is really a total failure on Android part to not have anything built in to allow people to instantly lock... Isn't there any way to put a shortcut to the system icon on my desktop? In stock launcher or otherwise?
Unfortunately looks like Android is going the way of Apple with these silly restrictions becoming more n more common

Well it's a security feature which means they've probably found something wrong with putting a quick lock from 3rd party apps.

Use "Wide touch" found under Setting->Feature. You can assign multiple gesture into it.
