Lockscreen - Security Settings

[Surfer2010]

Hey Martin,

I'm new to this App. and i think it's great ... one of the best i've ever seen!
I'm playing around with the posibillitys there are and there are a lot ...
What I couldn't find so far is a way to change the "security settings" of my lockscreen ... I have to add, I have cyanogenmod installed, and there are options to switch back and forth between having no security (a wipe unlocks the screen) and security (3x3 / 4x4 /... pattern or pin to unlock).
Those can be switched by those so called Profiles you can edit.
Now I would love to change this security by your app ... at home just a wipe ... at work a pin ... or something like that.

Is that possible? Did I just not yet find it?

thx for your good work!

Hi,

Automagic only allows to Set PIN/Password and Reset PIN/Password but not to switch profiles in CM.
I see that you have already found the post outlining a workaround.
Perhaps I will find the time to add a profile switching action for CM based ROMs in the future. I'll add it to the todo-list but ROM specific actions usually have a lower priority since the action will only work a few users of Automagic.

You could also try action Execute Root Command and command

Code: Select all

service call profile 2 s16 Work

The last part of the command should be set to the exact name of the profile. The command is highly ROM specific so it might not work on your version of CM.

Hi

thanks for your very fast answer!!! I really appreciate it!

About the "Profile-Issue" i don't worry too much since i found a even better smoother way to do it AND having more options this way! (as i wrote on at the other post)
But the thing with the lock-screen (security) ... would be a great thing to change. Changing the PIN/Password as you mentioned does not what i would love to have ... or did i understand you wrong?
Home --> a whipe over the screen unlocks the phone/display ... so you have fast access
Away --> you have to match a unlock-pattern like this http://www.droid-life.com/wp-content/up ... screen.png

Is that in any way possible to accomplish with Automagic? Not sure if that is a special CM thing i don't believe so?! I don't want to change my PIN, but to make my phone fast-accessible (at home - safe surrounding) and kinda locked when i'm some place else (using a pattern)

Thanks again for your great help and your effort to answer and "please" everybody.
Great great app!

Hi,

You could use an action Set Lock Pattern State: Off to turn off the lock pattern in certain locations and otherwise turn it on.
Unfortunately Android does not support this feature officially so the action requires root and might not work on all devices.
You could also create two profiles with the desired lockscreen and switch between the profiles using the service call profile 2 s16 XYZ command.

The plugin Secure Settings also allows to turn off/switch most lockscreen using different methods.

Okay thx

how do i set/activate the "admin funktion" of automagic? because that's what the app is asking me to do if i want to

Set Lock Pattern State: Off

.

Thanks

... NEVERMIND ... found the setting ... but it won't chance the PIN-Settings in CM ... too bad but well there hopefully will be an option in the future
still great work this flow-architecture!
