[Q] Pattern lock and screen off with ICS 4.x - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I am using ICS 4.0.3, and have a problem with pattern lock (or pin lock) and screen off/on.
The problem occurs when I use any of the unlocker (examples of such unlocker: Nolock, Unkeylocker...).
The unlocker temporarily unlocks (so upon screen off then on, no pattern nor pin lock should be asked : this
is handy when I am at home, since there is no risk). The unlocker works well, but if I pull down the notification bar
and click on one of them (e.g. Gmail notification, SMS notification), then the pattern/pin lock is presented ! .
Howewer if the unlocker is set to Off (as if it does not exist), no problem pulling down the notification bar.
Of course at home I would like to have unlocker set to ON (so no pattern/pin lock presented upon screen off then on),
AND no problem clicking on the notification line (no pattern/pin lock presented).
The problem did not occur with Gingerbread.
Is there an explanation or better a solution to this problem?
Thank you.
Edit: the problem is seemingly due to unlocker application running with ICS:

[Q]Answer screen won't show over the pattern lock screen(Solved)

Thanks in advance
Edit: I've fixed it. Just reset the lock pattern.

[Q] RR ROM related to all ver.

after discovering the world of custom ROM's i've found the RR rom, witch is wonderful for me.
after using a couple of versions of RR i've stumbled upon one tiny small sort of "lock breach".
when you wake your device from sleep the lockscreen appears with the "slide to unlock" (apple please don't sue me for using this phrase)
there is a possibility to slide down the toggles statusbar and from there you can open every app that is there and then the screen unlocks.
it is not such a big "lock breach" but sometimes when my phone is in my pocket there's a situations that this is just unlocking my phone
and causes to randoly starting apps becouse of the lack of screen lock.
the question is: does it should be like that or it's just something that the dev's just didn't noticed?
I have the same on Stock Samsung ROM. I just assumed it did this as I have not included any security (e.g. PIN code or Pattern lock)
Does it behave the same with these enabled?
EDIT::
If you enable any security on Stock, the Notification bar doesn't pull down at all

don't know about stock, had stock ROM only for couple of hours.
also tried with pattern and PIN and can't pull down the bar.
maybe it should be like this.
but still is there a way to lock this bar even with the slide lockscreen?

[Q] Tripple Lock Screen

Hi,
I dropped my phone this morning and, believe it or not, when I switched it on there was a new (swipe) lock screen.
This new lock screen might be because of an application that's adding a lock screen, but I can't find out which.
So to test some suggestions.
I setup a PIN unlock (I need this for corporate e-mail)
I setup the swipe unlock
So when I know switch on my phone I have to
- swipe (because of the unknown lock app or something)
- swipe again (because of the swipe unlock I setup above)
- enter a pin (because of the setup above)
Ideally I only want the pin unlock, so when I remove the swipe unlock from the security settings, I'm left with
- swipe (because of the unknown lock app or something)
- enter a pin (because of the setup above)
I want to get rid of this unknown swipe lock.
I've gone through the apps I've installed (after I uninstalled a couple) and none of them should have a lock screen
Any ideas on how I can solve this problem
Thanks

It is possible to unlock the pattern screen without the pattern

I have a sunia, stock 5.1. It has pattern activated on the lock screen. Sometimes it is possible to unlock it without the pattern.
How did I do it?
I leave a notification on the lock screen, I swipe fast (from right to left) to dismiss it. Then I swipe from bottom to top and phone unlocks. Usually this has to be done in one fast movement.
Another way is having a music player notification (I tried with soundcloud). On the lock screen, drag from top to bottom. The notification gets bigger. Pull the quick settings panel a couple of times, then touch the notification and the phone unlocks without the pattern.
Can you guys try this and see and confirm it?

Lock screen calendar widget

Searching a way to show on the lock screen my next meetings.
Tried Next Lock Screen but even disabling the Emui lock password and magazine unlock the Next lock screen appear only at the second power button press and next I need to unlock also the standard lock screen, really annoying. SnapLock also have the same problem.
Does anyone find a solution to install widget or show calendar events on the lock screen?
