[Q] No ScreenLock when opening the pad - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I searched but no topic on that one... :
so I have to slide + do a pattern to unlock the screen to prevent people to use my phone.
but I just noticed I just have to open/pullout the pad/controller and the phone open the Gaming app, then I just have to push the home button and the phone is totally unlock without using any code/password/pattern...
any solution to disable that ?

unlocked bootloader
rooted
installed app (additional) :
- fpse
- Advanced task killer
- root uninstaller
- super manager
- No-frills CPU
- Terminal emulator
- QR droid
- Hide it pro

go into the game launcher press the menu key then untick launch when gamepad slide out that should sort your problem

Uncheck Auto-Start in the xperia play launcher settings.

weird... I did it before, but didn't work
but now that I've rebooted it's working...
anyway...
Thanks !

Tasker profile to change input to Swiftkey on reboot

Hi,
I use SwiftKey ($) as my standard keyboard on the S3 since the built in keyboard mostly stinks. But the one problem is the input method reverts to the Samsung keyboard when the device reboots. I searched around & couldn't find exactly what I was after, so thought I'd post my solution here to pay it forward. :angel:
Requirements:
Rooted phone (using SuperSU free)
Tasker ($)
Secure Settings (free)
Busybox (free)
Process:
0. before starting, install Secure Settings, go to system+ tab, click to enable. It will help you get busybox if not installed. Once installed, again go to system+ tab and get it Enabled.
1. create a tasker "Event" profile
2. Event type is System>Device Boot. There are no options here, tap to go back
3. New task, give it a name ("Change Input Method" is good)
4. + to create an action, then Task>Wait. I put 40 seconds here. This is the delay after reboot before tasker goes & changes the method. It takes a while for my phone to be ready to roll after a reboot. YMMV. Tap top left to go back.
5. Now + to add another action and select plugin
6. Secure Settings, pencil to modify configuration
7. System+ Actions>Input Method, tap to select the input method (Swiftkey for me but this could be anything you want).
8. Click the save icon.
That's it. Try rebooting and see if the input method is changed to Swiftkey after the reboot. Works for me! Enjoy! :laugh:

Selecting Home Launcher Repeatedly

Hello,
I just got my One Plus 3 a day ago and I have setup Nova Launcher as my Home Launcher. Installed my necessary apps. For some reason I cannot figure out, everytime I go into Settings, when I press the Home button, it asks what launcher to use as default. I always select Nova Launcher but when I go back to settings, it happens again. What is wrong with my Settings?
I have read that some apps act as a launcher so I installed Launcher Switcher and found that there are 3 launchers to choose from, OnePlus Launcher, Nova Launcher and File Manager. What is this File Manager App? I tried to go into Settings > App > File Manager but I cannot disable this.
Also I have read some apps that when they uninstalled those apps, the problem went away. For example is the Hotmail app. I don't have this app installed and so far, I just notice the problem after going in Settings App. Also, I have read that Nova Launcher will detect which app is causing the problem but I cannot see that on my side. No notification by Nova Launcher informing me of problematic apps that is causing the default home launcher to reset frequently.
I am not rooted, no custom recovery installed but I think my bootloader is unlocked because when I power ON my phone, I get the "It cannot be trusted" thing on boot up. OS version is 3.1.3
Thanks for the help.
[UPDATE]
1. I also encounter the problem after switching apps via Recents App button. For example I open Facebook, when I press Home button, its fine. I open Spotify, and press Home, its still fine. When I access Facebook via Recent Apps button, and then click Home, the problem occurs. Please help.
You can make your choice of launcher as default app by selecting in settings - home and select your default launcher
I had this exact same problem.
Your device has been flashed with a an unofficial rom (thats why you get that warning when switching the phone on for 5 seconds).
It was most probably done by whoever you bought the phone from. They usually do it to move from Hydrogen to Oxygen, but in the process they load in some crapware.
You need to flash your device to stock Oxygen using the official Rom.

you can reinstall the firmware from official oneplus website and after flashing the latest firmware, go into developer options (you have to enable them first by going to about phone and tapping the build no. 7 times, then enable advance reboot and usb debugging.) do not personalise your phone or set it up. reboot into bootlader and using adb and fastboot run the command "fastboot oem lock" this will erase all your data and reset your phone again and you wont get the splash screen message again.

Asus Zenfone 5z - is there a way to lock any App by default ?

Is there a way to lock any app by default ? or we have to use third party app like CM Security Master ?
If it is possible to lock any app (say Whatsapp) by default, please share the steps.
thanks
Hello @milindkt
Update: Update to latest Zen UI Launcher from Play Store, long press on an empty area in desktop, select preferences and then App Lock.
Follow these steps to set app lock:
1. Open Mobile Manager app.
2. Go to Security and permissions.
3. Go to Privacy and security scan.
(Wait for the scan to finish or simply cancel it.)
4. Click on the 3 dots menu at the top right corner.
5. Select app lock.

Amazing.
How about other applications? Is it safe to install other simple apps without dependency on Google Play?
Did you try Torque?
This hack is missing a very important part: how to backup everything and restore to factory state.

Thanks for sharing this knowledge. I tried getting into Engineering Mode in Kia Sorento 2019 using this method and it doesn't seem to work. The local dealer installed Waze and a radio app on it so there must be a way to install other apps as well. Any idea of an alternative access method or what to try next?

It's terrible, I'm warning ⚠ you in my post
so you have 2 ways:
1. Hard: find a good radiomechanic or mobile phone fixer man and give your device to him and show this instructions https://www.drive2.ru/l/523031635092832690/
Than wait...
2. Easy: goes to hyundai dealer and said that "I woked up in the morning, got my, start the engine and saw hyundai logo... It's warranty!"
So, if I'm will be on your place - I'm choosed second way
hello
thank you.. i wait an answer from my cc.
Apk not compatible
Hi,
Thanks zavpasha for all the procedure !
Working as a driver, I wonder if an app like " uber driver" could run onto this tablet.
I did the test by launching the .apk and very quickly an error says the package is not compliant.
Versions of this app are available here:
www apkmirror com/apk/uber-technologies-inc/uber-driver/
Question: could it help to setup in developper + debug mode ?
Cheers
