Pattern lock screen question

I'm running stock cyanogen lollipop on my OPO. When I set a pattern for the lock screen security, its annoying that when I wake up the phone, I first have to swipe up to bring up the pattern screen. Is this normal? Seems strange to have to do both everytime...

How can i set my lockscreen to pattern after a time limit but use swipe till then?

I understand we can use the time out settings in security to delay pattern lock for say 10 mins. But i want the normal swipe lock for that 10 mins instead of having a phone without lock screen. and after 10 mins of non usage it can enable pattern lock as usual. Any help or leads would be so helpful!

Forgotten pattern password

So I've forgot my pattern password and thought I could unlock it using my google password, I've had 100 retries and still no option to unlock using my google password. What can I do to unlock my phone will I never get the option to unlock it using my google password? Using lollipop as well, does lollipop not have the google password unlock feature?

Some help on unlocking the lockscreen pattern?

Hello everyone,
So i bought a Photon Q LTE online which was listed as the owner can not unlock the lockscreen and thats why he is selling it. As I receive the item, it is as described and i cant unlock it, it also comes to a point only asking for the gmail and the passport.
The reason I get it to reach the fastboot, recovery mode to do a clean installation. But the problem kinda starts here; I can get on the fastboot mode but the bootloader is locked.
I am wondering, what are my options to make this device useful again?

Thank you so much for your helps!

Forgot pattern and cannot recover- nexus 4 with android 5+ lollipop

Hello.

I've repaired a nexus 4 screen and digitizer but I got it back because my friend can't recover access from a forgotten pattern lock.
He is running stock android 5 lollipop and he doesn't get the email recovery option when he inputs wrong pattern. I've searched even in google support but I didn't find a solution to recover his photos.

My main concern is to recover files and photos!!! There isn't a reason to suggest a factory reset....

--Phone Status---
Boot loader seems unlocked "Locked state is marked as unlocked in bootloder in red letters"
USB debugging seems OFF: There is no android device listed in device manager. I only get a music player in disk drives which is empty.
adb devices command in bootloader recognises it
When entering to recovery I get the message "no command" along with the icon of an android under repair.
No dropbox no google+ photos backup

---What I've tried---
Android Device manager: Returns error that the phone is already locked and there is no need to apply new password.
Tried about 30 wrong patterns and it didn't came up the google mail recovery option.
Tried during a phone call to see the files but I only managed to turn on WiFi.

World First "Finger Print App Lock " with Number & Pattern - Beta Testers needed

Finger Print App lock - Unlock the lock 100% safe thru your fingers.

We use App locks to keep the application safe, I would like to take App lock into next leave of Finger print App unlock.

There are few phone in market has Finger print sensors - like One plus 2, Elephone p8000, UMI harmar, etc.. We wanted all the phone user should have a access to finger print sensor without the sensor, so we made the first app which can use the camera and act as a finger print sensor.

We made a simple application which can use the Camera Sensor and Un-lock the locked Apps.

If the Finger print is failed to detect, automatically the Pattern lock or Number lock will open and ask the password.

Unlock the app thru your fingers.
Finger prints are Encrypted by default.
Choose the option which way you want to unlock the apps ? Finger print ? Numbers or Pattern?

Requirement for Finger print - All you need a good Camera with Flash, I believe 8Pix Camera with Flash can do the real job.

If you wish to be Beta Tester for this amazing product, please mail me @ jacksparao@gmail.com help us to make more stable.

Thanks in advance.
