This is my first ever topic on the forum, here we go !
I have a few ideas and suggestions about the lock screen on the Mudita Kompakt.
The first of them is an aesthetic suggestion for the lock screen. Maybe it’d be nice if we had the choice between our own pictures and some pre-made lock screen ? For example one with just the Lotus Flower, very simple ?
The other one is kind of a mix of things I’ve read : In addition to being able to set a PIN code that is less than 6 numbers, it would be really great if there was a way of having the fingerprint unlock without necessarily setting up a PIN code along with it. Having one or the other would be nice.
Is any of this making sense ?
TLDR : Having some factory lock screen designs could be real nice and would allow users to keep a minimal look ; and choosing the screen lock method between PIN code only, fingerprints only or both would make the use of the Kompakt a little better !
Thanks to the Mudita Team for the hard work, I can imagine it’s a lot to take in, and I’m super stoked to see the progress !
You can’t set up fingerprint without setting a pin. It’s a protective measure.
If your finger print scanner gets damaged or just stops working one day, how are you gonna open your phone if you didn’t set up a pin?
For the pin length I do agree, I’m used to 4 pin numbers. They’re safe enough for me.
For me personal, 4 or 6 digits don´t matter. But a customizable Lock Screen I would appreciate. At the moment the lock on the side just needs to go (I know it is kinda cute, but it destroys the aesthetic somehow…)
First time poster here. Coming from a Light Phone 2 (in conjunction with a Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra >= 5 years old with Unpluq installed) and the Mudita Kompakt feels like a blessing for me. This is what the Light Phone 2 (and even the 3) should have been!
I’ve sideloaded only a few relative apps for me (whatsapp with disabled notifications, tasks manager, banking app, 2FA app and my workout app). Really dig the battery life but also the rest of the device. This could very well end up in selling my good old trusty Note or at least in further minimizing it/downgrading it to a dump phone and use it as a camera (for on vacation) instead!
Now…back ontopic! I would also really appreciate it when we could upload our own designs for the lock screen. For me, that would mean a picture… but a logo image instead (e.g. with my company logo). That would be awesome!
Wanted to throw this here for anyone else who might prefer pattern to pin. Pattern functionality still exists in the systemUI, the option was just removed from the settings menu. It can be enabled with the following adb commands:
settings put secure lock_screen_allow_pattern 1
settings put secure lockscreen.password_type 131076
locksettings set-pattern --old <your_current_pin> 123456
This has been working without issue for me. Just be cognizant of the visual latency.
