Sorry, blood sugar was low and I got all Drama Queen and stuff. Thanks for being cool.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cmlusco:
I dont know how many other people out there use androids built in vpn, but i hate the fact that you are required to use a security screen (pattern, pin, password) to do so. I have found a way to bypass this if you are rooted. This has only been tested on the stock kk rooted ota. However i would think it is the same on almost any stock based rom.

This assumes you already have your vpn and a security screen setup and working.

Go to the market and download a root capable data base (db) editor. I use SQLite Editor which is a paid app, but im sure there are free ones too.

Open the db editor. SQLite Editor sorts it by the app (in this case Android System) the data base is associated with, others may not work this way and may require you to navigate to the db file directly (/data/system/locksettings.db).

Open locksettings.db and select the locksettings directory. Look for the line that says "lockscreen.password_type". Under the value colum it will show some random number. Select the line and edit the value to be 0 (zero). Save if required by your db app, and restart your phone.

When it reboots you should no longer have a security lock screen only the swipe up screen. When you go to settings - more - vpn, it will still say you need to setup a security lock. Hit CANCEL, and it will show you your list of setup vpn's. Select one and connect. Boom working vpn with no pattern, pin, password screen required.

To undo this just go to settings - security - screenlock, and setup a new lock pattern, pin, or password.

You can also disable the swipe up lock screen by editing the "lockscreen.disabled" value in the locksettings.db to be a 1 instead of a 0.

Where did you get stock kk rooted?

Sent from my HTC One
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cmlusco:
I was already unlocked and s-off, so i ruu'd took the kk ota and then rooted it. But i believe santod has his thread in development where you can download the stock rooted kk rom.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ebackbone:
an alternative method

An add-on alternative update for relevancy. Using Samsung Note 3 4.3 MJ7 stock rooted.

Firstly, thanks OP for a nice clear guide for all on how to do this theoretically.

This is an alternative for those who aren't able to purchase SQLite Editor:

1. get a good freeware SQLite editor like for example SQLite Studio @ w w w sqlitestudio.pl

2. copy following files from your phone to the PC using some form of file explorer or whatever methods you can think of

/data/system/locksettings.db

/data/system/locksettings.db-shm

/data/system/locksettings.db-wal

3. open up the editor, load the locksettings.db and modify like what OP has mentioned

4. you will notice that the new saved DB is going to be a single file instead so just replace this file back into your phone and delete the OTHER files

5. reboot and done.

:highfive:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] improfessional:
Alternative method

found it on another forum

The process does not require rooting its more like a bug

worked on my i9300 with 4.3 firmware

1. Add a VPN

2. Lock the device with a pin

3. Enter the pin wrong 5 times

4. Press OK to the message that pops up

5 Press Forgot Pin

6. Sign into your Google Account

7. Select pin lock

8. Press cancel.

and now u got unlocked screen with working vpns
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Hirishiolo:
the method works, but after I reboot, when I enter VPN screen is aks me for "password for credential storage"... how can I solve? thanks in advance
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ziogref:

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cmlusco:

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] pajenn:
worked for me initially on samsung mega (jellybean), but after reboot i'm getting the 'enter password for creditial storage' issue and pressing cancel doesn't solve it.

is there any other solution?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Clauu:
In 4.4 there is no such file

/data/system/locksettings.db

.. any ideas?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mlord:
Try a different file manager.

It failed like that for me with ES File Explorer,

but worked when I used SM File Browser.

---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 AM ----------

Tap on the "QUERY *" button to see the file contents.

---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

What I do here: just type something.. anything, doesn't matter. At least one character.

Then on the next screen, where it asks to set up a lockscreen, just Cancel.

This seems to be necessary once per boot -- any password, different time or the same, works.

After that it lands me on the VPN manager screen, all functional.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] pureskull:
Well I kind of messed up. I tried to open with SQLite but it would give me an error 14. So i decided to try to open just like that using ES Explorer and edit it like regular note(SQL is totally different I had no idea). Anyways i didnt edit anything but now i cant set a pin or any type of security on my phone. When i try to set up a pin it still shows a swipe and when i try again my Note 3 freezes and get an error message saying settings stopped responding.

Any idea on how to fix this? Im rooted and im running the latest firmware 4.4.2 if that helps.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] argrr101:
I'm also stuck on having to input a password... :(

Is there a way to revert??

EDIT: Okay, to get it back to normal just go to Security and set up a password. Then when you go to VPN everything should be normal again. *phew*
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Tomyk89:
I can confirm that this works on rooted CM11 android version 4.4.4 and it works great! I didn't even need to restart.

The SQLite app is the way to go for anyone wondering. It is worth the $2.99

Can't find setting

I have tried this a couple of times, once on a custom rom and now on my stock t-mobile lollipop installation, newly rooted. I find the locksettings directory to be empty. Am I missing something? I can't stand this dumb requirement to have a pin lock. I have tried all kinds of trusted locations, etc. to try and make the phone stop locking all the time but I can't get it to stop.

Any help would be muchly appreciated.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] JOKERz:

nexus 5 - 5.1.1
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] matorola:
i'm on 5.1.1 with galaxy nexus as well. installed openvpn with vpn profile, set up "pin lock", downloaded locksettings.db and tried to see its content with sqlite:

BEGIN TRANSACTION;

there's no "lockscreen.password_type" string ...

[Xperia Z2 General] zzcool:
I've been following the z2 eagerly, ever since the first leak and i had a fear that it it no longer symmetrical, i have done alot of analyzing of pictures and videos and it to me seems like the top bezel is EVER SO SLIGHTLY thicker than the bottom meaning theres no symmetry.

I have a ocd like obsession with design and symmetry, which is why i choose the z series since the first z, it also to me sadly seeme the z2 has been more rounded than the z1 which to me is a slight dissapointment.

Second off it seems both the back glass and the metal frame has gotten a bluish hue, from what i have seen i liked the z1's gun metal grey frame i don't understand why they changed it infact more black would be nice too, other videos show it in a more premium like silver which i like alot so it is hard to judge as many videos look different.

A positive thing is that it seems they got rid of that ugly plastic strip inside the metal frame that the z1 had, it ruined the design for that phone in my opinion and i adore the design of my z1 just hated that plastic.

other than these microscopic worries the phone seems to be my absolute dream phone inside and out.
[Xperia Z2 General] mujj:
I think its the SONY branding, sensors, camera and the black stripe of the speaker bar that gives the impression of a greater bezel up top.
[Xperia Z2 General] ar216893:
Can't really tell you.

if you're really obsessed with symmetry, maybe you should bring a ruler when you about to buy it later
[Xperia Z2 General] zzcool:
heres the thing i took sonys official front press picture of the phone copied it put it next to the phone upside down it seems to check out :(
[Xperia Z2 General] Publicglutton:
OH Yeah..I.....can....see.........................Nah..:rolleyes:
[Xperia Z2 General] zzcool:
isn't it obvious unless i am completely wrong

that the bottom one is like 0.5 mm or so longer they would be completely centered with eachother as i flipped the phone unless i am completely missing something
[Xperia Z2 General] Akiainavas:
Looks like it is. Can't say it's a problem though. Xperia Z was the same and I only noticed it after a few days...
[Xperia Z2 General] Publicglutton:
zz, Taking a longer much closer look at your example image of the bezel , I think your right , it's very tiny difference...but it's there ;) .

It does not really bother me though, I'm much more OCD about keeping my phone in pristine condition, so as soon as I recieve mine it will be on with a front & back screen protector and case :silly:
[Xperia Z2 General] zzcool:
oh this is not what i wanted to know due to my obsession

and i am ocd about EVERYTHING i spent hours yesterday looking up pictures and videos comparing them to eachother to get the right look of the frame some pictures show it with a dark like blue which is ok other show it with a purple silver like hue which to me is a little on the girly side but i need to see myself before i judge the phone is so perfect that i am nitpicking the heck out of it

the other small tiny worry is that it seems they wen't back to the blue like black glass like the original z

i liked the blue like frame on the original z so chances are i'll like z2 aswell

but WHY would they touch the already perfect z1 design they only needed to add the thinner bezels speakers and screen and get rid of that plastic the design was perfect as it was

if they even dare putting XPERIA in big letters at the front on their next flagship then i won't even bother even trying to consider that it would entirely damage the phone beyond repair for me

the z1 was so perfect but i guess i can't expect them to mae a phone after my taste the omnibalance design was almost that

edit:it all makes sense now they only reduced the bezel at the bottom not the top

which means the top bezel is the same thickness as z1

it all makes sense now
[Xperia Z2 General] mujj:
But that's a good thing. Same size device, but more screen real estate :)
[Xperia Z2 General] JMonkeYJ:
I read that the top bezel has to be that size to fit the camera module (camera module is too large to fit behind the LCD and keep the phone thin). So it makes sense that they can't shrink it. Good investigating!
[Xperia Z2 General] shook187:
Why are we even talking about this subject? If the bezel was bigger on one side..... who cares?
[Xperia Z2 General] JMonkeYJ:
Because we are tech nerds obsessing over a phone. Come join the party if you want. :highfive:
[Xperia Z2 General] SuperMarioGalaxy:
The OP? What is the purpose of your post? OP clearly said he's obsessed with this. I answered the poll out of memory but now I see it, it really is a tiny bit out of symmetry. I will possibly do my own analysis.

To you, OP. The edges still have the plastic, its just in perfect alignment with the metal so that the curvature is perfect. This was one of my favorite improvements in the phone design. :)

PS. I suggest meditation and relaxation techniques for your ocd.

You can get your IMEI and Baseband back by 2 ways.

1 . Flashing a proper radio and hboot

2 . With Jtag like RiffBox And ORT Jtag.

PS: You see that your Modem Path is seeing OFF that means your Radio software is broken or Radio chip is dead.
