I agree. Android is about choices. Let me make the choice.

I also agree. As miljbee said on XDA: "I keep the keys in my pocket, like my phone. No need to put them in a locked case. It would be annoying to have to find the key to open the case so I can get access to the key that would open the door ..."

UGH, this is FRUSTRATING!  To use my phone on my company's wi-fi, they require installing a cert.  Even though THEY don't require me to have a PIN on my device, once I install the cert, Android forces me to.  iPhone's don't require this.

I found a way to solve the problem. If you have a certificate that is not
trusted by Android, when you add it, it goes in the personal cert store.
When you add a cert in this personal cert store, the system requires a
higher security level to unlock the device. But if you manage to add your
cert to the system store then you don't have this requirement. Obviously,
root is required to add a certificate to the system store, but it is quiet
easy.


Here is how to do it :
1 - add your cert normally, it will be stored in your personal store and
android will ask you a pin/password... Proceed
2 - With a file manager with root capabilities, browse files
in /data/misc/keychain/cacerts-added. You should see a file here, it's the
certificate you have added at step 1.

3 - Move this file to system/etc/security/cacerts (you will need to mount
the system partition r/w)

4 - Reboot the phone

5 - You are now able to clear the pin/password you have set to unlock the
device.

I Think that this will only work for Root or Intermediate CA.

I got the idea by reading this :
