Hide Guest Mode App would be peferct... Or an app to lock the status bar.... If I use guest mode and lock my status bar WITHOUT actually locking my phone, it would be like having a "stealth" device. We should have the ability to have guest mode without our "guest" being able to change or have access to other profiles... The perception of having a phone WITHOUT a lock screen or security code on it is my idea of a perfect app/option!

I'd like to turn the lockscreen security off in areas where I feel secure doing so. When i'm out taking public transportation or any other areas with any risk, i'd like the ability to easily turn security on.
Right now i'm using Xposed Framework with GravityBox 2.6.1. I'd prefer there to be a quick settings toggle that enabled/disabled the lockscreen security but didn't see that option in GravityBox (would request it in the thread for it but it looks like I can't until I post more here?).
Does anyone else have a setup similar to what i'm trying to achieve?
"No Lock Screen" app doesn't seem to work. Currently using "Toggle Lock" which does work as a widget but the size of it is so small at 1x1 (have to resize to enlarge but ends up taking too much space). Also the problem with toggle lock is if you close the Toggle Lock app in the multi-tasking in seems to break this setup.
EDIT: Toggle Lock has issues too after awhile it still asks for unlock randomly when launching apps/notifications
I used Tasker combined with Secure Settings (both on play store) to achieve something similar. When I'm connected to my home wifi, my password is disabled. When I'm connected to no wifi or any other wifi, my password is enabled.
I know this isn't the same as having a single press to toggle the password on and off, but since you can create a tasker task to do this, I imagine it can't be that hard to use Tasker App Factory to make an app that toggles the password on and off. Then just put that app on your home screen and you should be good to go.
Thanks! I'll look into that. The toggle lock app seems to have problems.

Thanks! I tried and it seemed to work great at first (no issues with closing the app by mistake). Then i noticed later on how the phone would be unlocked yet accessing text messages from the notification bar would request the password.
What I ended up doing was setting a shortcut for Nova launcher 'Activities' > 'Settings' > 'Unlock selection' ChooseLockGeneric. This allows me to get to that settings page quickly and directly but I have to manually set up the password each time. Works though!
My problem is that I've set a few system profiles and one of the settings is causing "issues". I've set a few profiles to disable security in the lockscreen (remove pattern) and in CM 12.1 this changed the pattern to swipe to unlock but in minimal os it completely disables the lockscreen. Is there any way to fix this?
Why don't you just change the lockscreen security to 'swipe'? You don't have to use profiles for that...

Because I don't want to use swipe when I'm out and about. What I did is set some profiles (a few disable sound too) to disable the pattern lock and gps when I connect to certain networks (e.g. my house, friends house, etc) and another one activates gps, sound and the pattern lock for security measures (the gps is for android device manager).
Another bug I found is that for some reason when I lock the phone, wi-fi drops the connection (I've already check the settings and keep wi fi on during sleep is set to always).
Hi guys I found this cool app on the Google play store by James Fenn it allows you to modify the status bar without root it might not work flawlessly but it does this is job this does not work in the lockscreen and live/scrolling wallpaper screenshots below
FEATURES
Center Clock option
Carrier Name
Battery Percentage display
Headphone Indicator
Minimal battery usage I tested it
Material design works in most application
Custom color adjustment for applications
Quote from James Fenn Below
"The actual status bar is only hidden under the replacement; touch gestures are not overridden, and the standard notification panel is still shown. It needs a lot of permissions in order to obtain the information needed to display in the status bar."
Permissions:
- Accessibility Service: used to attempt to get the status bar color of the current app if the 'status bar coloring' preference is enabled.
- Notification Access: used to get the icons of the current notifications.
- System Alert Window, System Overlay Window: used to draw the status bar above all other apps.
- Battery Stats: used to find if the battery is charging and what percent it is at.
- Network State, Phone State: gets the type and connection of the phone network, and if airplane mode is enabled.
- Wifi State: finds if wifi is enabled and how good the connection is.
- Bluetooth: find if bluetooth is enabled & connected or not.
- Location Services: finds if GPS is enabled.
- Alarm: find if an alarm is set.
This app is and will remain ad-free and with no "pay to unlock this feature" popups. All I ask is that you provide some feedback about what I can do to improve your experience with this app.
Current Issues
Heads-up notifications dismiss keyboard
Yep.
Resize LinearLayouts for multiple icons
Since the LinearLayouts currently only take up half of the status bar (or half the status bar minus half the width of the center layout, if there are any centered icons), it is possible for them to run out of space and get cut off on small screens. A warning for this would probably be a good idea...
Backup SharedPreferences to file
Does what it says. It would be a pretty useful option, but a bit impractical where updates are concerned.
Data and signal icons are shown incorrectly
They usually (I've had a few occurrences where they do actually work properly) refuse to disappear when airplane mode is enabled or when wifi is turned off. No clue why.
Needs support for dual sim phones
I've created an IconData class for it [here](https://github.com/TheAndroidMaster...s/status/data/icon/DualNetworkIconData.java), but it doesn't seem to be working properly.
Notifications don't dismiss properly below android 4.3
Notification listener api isn't available, listens for notifications through the AccessibilityService but cannot detect when they are dismissed - temporary solution: remove all icons when the notification panel is opened.

yep i contacted the dev about that hopefully he finds a way to implement it
Some issues I have experienced:
- the bar displays the homescreen wallpaper on some apps. On main apps like Settings, Phone, Messenger etc. the app colour displays properly but on many third party apps the background colour is messed up
- does not work on the lock screen
I have uninstalled it for now

Hi All,
Hope you are fine. I am using LOS 14.1 and realized something. I can access things on Status Bar when screen locked. I can enable WIFI (select any Access Point from list, etc.), enable Cellular Data or other things. How can i prevent this?
If my phone locked, someone shouldn't access the Status Bar things.
I couldn't see a module which has this feature.
Waiting your experiences.
Thank you.
Have a happy holiday.
Hi there. I found a solution (a friend advised).
Download GravityBox for your Android version. I am using [N].
Status Bar Tweaks->QS Management->Status Bar QS Tiles->Marked WIFI and Cellular Data and rebooted. Thay are still visible on Status Bar while screen locked but i can't access. You can only tap.

It's been a while since the MIUI 10 Global update and no solution to this issue. Is there a way to hide status bar or disable pull down option, for e.g. via ADB? It's serious security flaw but since the update (months ago) nothing has been done.
I don't understand how is having status bar on lockscreen is serious security flaw? kindly please i would like to know. also it is been long that i have not been on MIUI so little unaware.
A far as i remember about notification shade pull down, if you want to turn off notification shade pull down then you can turn them off in under settings > notifications & status bar.
Nah, they turn that off in the newest update, so even when the phone is locked, you can pull down QS and turn options off and even edit all the tiles without the need to unlock or type your PIN.
Just image your phone gets stolen and mobile data and GPS can be turned off immediately.

Okay got it, thanks for explaining.
I always kept this feature on as i found useful to turn on off toggles without password,pattern or unlocking device.(well this is might be just me)
