Root [Verizon] How to remove certificate screen lock requirement

WebTard · Jun 28, 2014

I have searched the forum and Googled for an answer, but have only been able to find out dated similar questions.

I have a Verizon Galaxy S5, rooted with towelroot and running Android 4.4.2. I use PDANet+ with a FoxFi key to create a WiFi hotspot.

The biggest nag that I have, is that the security certificate required for FoxFi requires me to have either a PIN or Password screen lock, no pattern lock like before. I hate screen locks (personal choice, and I understand the risks, please no lectures on that).

Does anyone know how I can remove a certificate's requirement for a screen lock, since I have the phone rooted?

Thanks in advance,

WebTard

There is no way to remove it that I know of. Also, you are in the wrong section.

Here is the main S5 section.
Samsung Galaxy S5 - Android Forums

Rooted section.
S5 - All Things Root - Android Forums

I'm going to move your question to the root section of the s5 so others whiny your device may be Ogden more assistance. Thank you very much Dais Flaque.

3. Type the new password on your phone and it will unlock.
4. Now it should let your change the lockscreen to anything, and foxfi will continue to work

Still working after restarting phone and using Foxfi

This is worthy of bookmarking and keeping to the top.
I got trapped into doing a Factory Reset before anyone figured this out.... bummer deal and totally unnecessary.
