CM 12.1 Lock screen woes - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

Help! In trying to get my swipe lock screen to self-actvate when the screen turns off, I've managed to make the problem worse.
I made it PIN lock, intending to return to Swipe after testing. Now there are NO options for locking except PIN and no obvious way to clear it. I've read all kinds of suggestions, none of which worked. Surely this is not a "feature"?
Edit: Oh, duh. I can't believe this isn't documented somewhere. So you just go to the settings menu under Lock Screen and it says PIN. You touch that and it asks you to confirm your PIN. When you do you are presented with all the options again (including Swipe). Whew! Now if only the #%@#$ thing would engage when the screen turns off like it should!

[Q] landscape mode bug with lockscreen

Hi All,
I found a bug and want to see if it only affects my rom or others. I'm running Resurrection 2.5.3 on a SGS2.
DO NOT TRY THIS UNLESS YOU WANT A CHALLENGE TRYING TO UNLOCK YOUR PHONE W/O THE OK BUTTON. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
If you want to try this and you have the pin lock on, i suggest using a simple pin number consisting of only 1,2 4 and 5. Also turn on the feature that automatically unlocks w/o hitting OK.
To repro the bug:
* lock your screen into landscape mode with auto-rotate turned off.
* let the phone lock.
*If you have the pin lockscreen enabled, when the display comes back up, you can only see the top left corner of the keypad. On my phone I couldn't not press the OK button after i entered my pin.
* I finally managed to unlock using adb and screen caster.
Anyone else experience this? I have to say it's really annoying. Took a bit of time to figure out how to login.

[Q] Unlocking your phone in different ways

I was wondering if there was a way to do this. You wake up your phone, it's locked. You hold the sleep button and the phone goes straight to the home screen.
Or even better, you wake the phone up by holding the sleep button and the phone idles on the lock screen for a second and then jumps to the home screen (similar to iPhone's new fingerprint scanner, but without the scanner). Maybe the lock screen can have a fake pin lock to mislead people using my phone.
I've been waiting for this for years but I don't think anyone's developed it. Would there be a way I could do it with Tasker? Or maybe there's something on xda that I can download for it to work? I am rooted with a Note 3.
Also, if there are any other revolutionary new lockscreen's out there, let me know! I'm not into the whole typing a password to unlock because everyone sees the password anyway. Plus it's tedious. Any ideas?

[Xposed][Module][Req] Custom lock for screen pinning?

I had this idea, and I'm sure its been thought of before. I did a lot a searching for something but turned up nothing. I noticed that with screen pinning, you can require your screen lock to turn off pinning. I think it would be much better if you could choose to have a whole separate screen lock to turn off pinning. I wouldn't know how to make a module for this which is why I'm reaching out to the community. Any thoughts?

Unable to use fingerprint sometimes on lock screen

Hey so my v10 sometimes doesn't allow me to unlock my phone with my fingerprint and I have to manually enter my password. Is this a problem for anyone else or just me? I have changed the fingerprints and changed lock screen from knock code to pattern but neither helped.
Yes I get this too. I know it will force manual entry after reboot but I experience this throughout the day from time to time. Its inconsistent.
Do you use an app to put the phone to sleep? There is a known issue in Marshmallow where fingerprint unlock will not work if the phone is put to sleep via an app rather than the power button.
I do double tap the status sometimes to turn the screen off but I don't think it's that. And no I don't use an app to turn off the screen

Question fingerprint button on the side

Hello,
I have a ZF9 for a few days and I can't get used to the fingerprint on the side. I often unlock it by mistake when I put it in my pocket.
You don't have a problem with that?
I didn't have a problem with other devices with a fingerprint on the side, I set to physically press it. It cannot be set on ZF9.
I'm unhappy about it

I have this problem to, its very gentleness
Same problem until found that you can unlock only by pressing the button unlock
and not only touch it
you goes to settings -> security & lock screen -> Fingerprint -> screen off unlock
and you have two options press or touch and press only
choose "press only"
well thank you!

I feel really dumb right now for not searching in there ... Thank you so much. Like most I had trouble with unintentional unlocks.
after this annoying problem I start looking all other settings for solution
Oh, this is so smart! I had the issue of my phone going weird places when I pull it out of my pocket sometimes, even with pocket mode enabled, and I didn't realize what caused it... Now I found the problem along with a solution in this thread. Thanks
Wooh, thanks, i thought it was an issue on my zf9
