Hello XDA members,
Problem:
I never liked a lockscreen i just want to turn my phone on and work with it. Thats why i created a app with taskers appfactory
Solution:
The app looks a few seconds with the proximity sensor if you turn on the screen, if something is close to the sensor the phone will relock itself.
You can edit the time of checking in the settings menu.
Why this thread:
I wanted to get feedback from you to resolve problems with it and make it work better to the needs of people.
A few questions:
- Is it simple to install?
- Does it work properly?
- Feature request
- What would you like to change?
- Do you like the app?
Requirements:
- Proximity sensor
How to install with help?
- Follow step 1 and step 2 in the app
How to install manually?
- Settings -> Security -> Device administrators -> check SmartLock
- Settings -> Security -> Lockscreen -> select "none"
How to uninstall:
- Settings -> Security -> Device administrators -> uncheck SmartLock
- Uninstall as usual
What means PocketLock?
- PocketLock is a different way of locking, it will lock your phone when your screen is ON and you put it in your pocket.
You can set the directions (left, right, down) when it will check in the settings menu
- Maybe you need to set the checktime a bit higher in the settings menu. because it takes time to get your phone in your pocket.
- Maybe eats more battery (dont know it for sure)
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. Why does SmartLock not lock my phone?
A.
- Did you enable SmartLock as Device administrator ( Settings -> security -> device administrator -> check SmartLock )
- Reset your settings in the Settings menu of SmartLock

AW: [APP] SmartLock - no lockscreen, proximitysensor as guard
Thanks!!
Will try now on Cm 10.1 & stock LSD and report back.
Edit: Works without Problems on Cm10.1 ! Your setup guide is very clear and easy to understand, awesome!
On stock LSD the 2nd step leads to "security settings" , but it should lead to "Lockscreen". This is not a real big problem but may confuse people.
All over this App is great, thank you very much!

Thank you for your first reply, and really nice to hear you like it.
The problem with the lockscreen is that every rom is different and the place of lockscreen disabling is not the same.
So this is one thing to fix

Hey!
Nice app mate. Thanks!
Really easy setup(fool proof) and working great!
Any chance of making it so it works WITH lockscreen enabled?
It's even a good idea to implement this in a ROM to avoid wrong button presses if you unlock in your pocket by mistake.
Cool!
Will test further...
Ive noticed settings are blacked out in some areas...is this normal?

P.s. No, didn't try Pocket Lock, will report back!
Edit: I have no clue what Pocket Lock changes but my shopping tour went well without any unlocks so for me, your App works fine!

Nice
PocketLock is a different way it locks your phone when screen is on and you put it in your pocket
In the settings menu you can select left,right or down. That are the conditions to check if its in your pocket.
It checks as long as you set checktime, so maybe you need a little bit more checktime for pocketlock. hehe
Hope this helps, if you think what is he talking about just say it
It can use some more battery because of movement tracking, just test it
EDIT:
Just created a Google Play developers account and i will release SmartLock in there i think tomorrow, just because i can
We will see
The easy thing is that everybody can stay up to date

EDIT (20-02-13 10.35):
Made a test build for lockscreen enabled, please make sure you install the old v1.0 because of new package name.
You need to make smartlock device admin again, just follow step 1 if you dont know where to find
test build: SmartLock.37.apk
Can you give feedback to me if it works for you ?

Re: [APP][BETA] SmartLock v1.2 (10-03-13) no lockscreen, proximitysensor as guard
Installed SmartLock v1.2 yesterday. I'm on Disaster v9 (JB 4.2.1). Simple installation and setup. Working without any problems including PocketLock. Will have to test longer to check if there is no battery drain, but so far all looks ok.
Must say that it is really great idea and app. Until I used it I did not know how convenient and comfortable usage of my phone might be without haveing to unlock it every time. It would be great if this app could be built into rom as one of the lockscreen options.
I have noticed one issue only, nothing major - vibration time on lock sometimes is shorter then set. Lookes like it happens only when I unlock phone for few seconds and put it back into pocket.
As for app menu it is ok, I would love it more if it looked like standard android JB settings menu.
Thanks a lot for your time, effort and the app.

Dear Pidu,
Thank you for your feedback and really nice to hear you like it
There should be no excessive battery drain with only SmartLock on, PocketLock can use some extra juice from your battery because of the motion sensor being used while screen is on.
I will check if i can reproduce you issue with the vibrate time
The layout of the app is a bit difficult because its made with tasker and not programmed in Java
Maybe a further release will be programmed so stay tuned.
I would like if you give feedback via play store so that other users can read it there.
Thanks
Re: [APP][BETA] SmartLock v1.2 (10-03-13) no lockscreen, proximitysensor as guard
This afternoon my daughter found big issue with PocketLock. From time to time she is using my phone to play games when travelling. Unfo PocketLock Left and Right turn screen off every time she is holding the phone horizontally while playing. Proximity sensor detects her finger and motion sensor - constant movement. Had to disable both options.
I did not notice extensive battery drain caused by PocketLock.
Will test the app few more days and then give feedback on Google Play.

As written above I have disabled left and right options of PocketLock. Still few times phone locked when my daughter was playing and motion sensor detected downwards movement - kid simply shakes phone in different directions
It might be hard to keep PocketLock active and avoid locking in certain situations but I would prefere to avoid having to switch it off and then on manualy. Personally I find PocketLock down most useful, so it is still fine for me, but it depends on individual preferences of the user.

Iam busy with a sketch which can have a notification in your statusbar with the status of SmartLock / PocketLock
You can enable the notification in the settings menu to stay forever or just come up when phone is left or right.
Normally if you click on the notification the settings menu will come up, but you can enable the option
to disable PocketLock if you click on it.
What is your first impression of that?
Think will release it today on the forum

So keeping it short and sweet:
This is thread to house questions related to the Unofficial AOKP thread, by $MyName.
Questions in that thread can be asked, but "Where do I find the lockscreen wallpaper" shouldn't be asked there, lets keep it clean.
You can ask me directly and as always the other users, as this is a community.

Worked fine, though if you're still having trouble:
4.2 camera zip
You can download that zip, flash in recovery [no need to wipe], then reboot.
It'll flash the 4.2 camera with photosphere to your system

Hello, I have been running this ROM for about 4 days now. When I go to Settings, ROM Control, General UI, I have "Show Menu UI Overflow" unchecked. However, I am still seeing the 3 dots representing the menu button in apps. This is not a big deal, just a small annoyance. Is there a way to get rid of this? Also, using lock button to wake up phone sometimes takes a while. I have read that disabling "Wake up on charger" has helped for some users, however it has not made a difference for me. Is there a fix for this, as well? I like this ROM very much, it's smooth and very battery efficient. Thanks for the help!

Well as far as the button, have you tried toggling then rebooting; that may fix it.
The wake issue is semi hit or miss. Disabling the wake on connect has helped some; have you altered your kernel settings?

Yup, I have tried toggling and rebooting without success. And when you say kernel settings, are you referring to the performance options? Because I have not made any changes to those. Nor have I made any changes to any kernel settings, as far as I am aware.

Yes, stock kernel and no settings have been changed. Also, I was checking my data usage and I have noticed that it is not changing. It says I've only used about 300mb and that is not nearly the amount I have used. I don't think it is updating data usage for mobile data or Wi-Fi. Anybody else experiencing this? Just a small bug, not too much of a concern. Thanks!

Hi guys! Again here's another mod from me. This mod should fix the lockscreen issue when any apps requiring accessibility is enabled.
Just push the apk in
Code:
/system/app/
replacing the original one with this mod.
Sorry guys was not able to make a flashable zip my phone is the only device I have right now to access the internet(no computer) so would really appreciate it if someone can make a flashable zip for me
Update
Added flashable zip
Download here
And as always... Deodexed ROMs only. Don't flash in a pure stock odexed ROM it will break your lockscreen.

Hi! Added flashable zip
Question....
May I ask what were the issues with the apps using open accessibility? I use Knock2+
and if I need the fix, which out of the two attachment do I need? Do I need to flash both of them? or just the second one as the file name suggested its purposes?
Just come across this thread from a post on the trickdroid forums...
This is great....just installed the zip on my HTC One and its seems to be working perfect at the moment....if theres any issues I'll post up after a days use...
It's made me a happy chappie tonight..:good:

For instance, I have a pebble watch that requires the pebble app. The pebble app requires that you start the service for pebble in the accessibility settings. So an option at the top under services you have to turn on. As soon as you turn on one of the services there - as far as I know any service not just pebble - it will make the lockscreen broken. So from that point on just touching the lockscreen anywhere will unlock the device. You don't have to swipe up the lock or clock anymore. And you can't pull any of the app icons up to load into those. It just unlocks the device as soon as you touch the screen. The big problem with this is if the phone is ringing in your pocket. As you pull it out of your pocket and it rubs against your leg/pants, it will unlock/answer the call. Now occasionally I don't want to answer the phone. Its been a big problem.
Thanks to the OP for this fix. You are a life saver! Or at least a sanity saver.

I flashed the zip in the download link and now my phone won't go past the "starting apps" screen after boot and before lockscreen shows.
I even reflashed the rom (dirty) and it won't work. Can you make a flashable file which puts the original files back so I can adb push it on my One.
I am on Trickdroid 5.5.1. by the way.
Please Help.

I have replied to your PM. Please check your inbox
I can't reproduce your problem so please try wiping dalvik cache or deleting the folder /data/data/com.htc.idlescreen.base/
And if it still persists try doing a factory reset instead.
Doing a dirty install of the Trickdroid ROM should have restored the original lockscreen app so I'm pretty sure it's something to do with your dalvik-cache.
Just try wiping dalvik-cache for now it shouldn't delete anything so it's safe.
So I guess the fix can only be used if you're rooted and that sucks cause I am not

I was wondering if this mod would negate the option to disable exchange server security? I've flashed trickdroid and applied this mod, but now my exchange server is requiring a password/pin on unlock. I'd like to be able to disable this when I'm home in tasker and I have that setup, but now it doesn't work. I think it was this mod that removed that feature from TrickDroid. Do you know the answer?
@Riyal since installing this fix I have a problem with the proximity sensor while on a call. Sometimes the screen goes black as soon as the call connects and the screen doesn't come back on. Sometimes the screen doesn't turn off when I hold the phone to my face and sometimes it does turn off but won't turn on again.
Is this problem related to this fix? Is anyone else experiencing this?

Hi! I'm not sure about the exchange server mod as I am not using it. I'll take a look at the mod soon and see what was modified on it and see if it conflicts with my mod.
And by the way could you give me a tutorial/guide on how and where to get an exchange account to test? Pardon but I don't really use that feature at all.
Anyways I am using exchange activesync on my phone right now but only using live.com account. And I'm not sure if having a private exchange server is needed.

Screen Filter is an app that can disable the backlight of the softkeys. Set it to auto-start at boot and you should be good. I know its not a direct fix but its a low impact app that shouldnt effect battery life or operation.

Seems to work for me. Did it dim the screen at all (thats its main function)? Did you see the check box "enable softkey back light" (uncheck it) at the bottom of the app ui?

Yes, it did dim the screen, but if i uncheck the enable softkey back light, anytime I touch the screen the backlights still come on. Are you on a G.E. rom? I am currently on Infamouse G.E.

No im not. I am on AOSP (Slim Bean) though.
There are options to do this in AOKP and CM roms. Anybody know how those builds pull it off?
Give me a minute to shower and I'll write you an app. All you have to do is install my app, reboot, grant it root access, and profit.

Thanks brother. Any luck getting that working? With all of the research I have been doing, I have found MANY people that want to get this option working.

Okay i am having troubles setting it to off on boot. But here is a "toggle" version of it where you can toggle them on or off. Will try and fix the boot issue tomorrow.
SWEEET!!! Works like a charm thanks dude! Like I said, I've been searching for this forever! I know that many others have been searching for this, perhaps you should make a thread in the mods section.

Go HERE i fixed the boot issue. I was way too tired last night xD missed something really simple lol
Screen calibrator 1.2 (LG G2)
Tune your own R G B settings
works on:
dorimanx kernel
bruce2728 kernel
cloudyfa's kernel
and as reported some aosp/cm roms with apropriate kernels.
Please thank to the kernel devs for adding the support
Also tested on some other kernel and settings didn't stick.
Credits: @xanthrax @Slimer777 for hints, informations.
Also, please see Slimer777's guide/thread about right settings.
OLD Changes:
1.0 - initial release
1.1 - added +/- buttons, little bit larger sliders
The app will autoexit on reboot(after profile loading)
The app will also autoexit on app start (you've got 5 seconds to tap anywhere to stop it), it will autoexit only if the profile is set.
To prevent exiting and to set new profile just TAP anywhere (not on controls), anywhere on the interface.
- links are removed, new version doesn't require the app to be installed after applying the settings.

changelog for 1.2
+ added default profile
+ added recommended profile (recommended for LG G2)
+ added init.d support
- removed app autostart on boot

Will this work for rooted Verizon LG G2? I just want to get the screen temp right. I have a spyder4pro I use to calibrate my displays. I wish I could do a full calibration on this screen!
Very nice bender :laugh: . U'r the best

Ah, next week. Until next week who knows how many apps I build :good:
Great job mate, lets see what can be added more
Sent from my Darkside of LG G2
1st of all - thanks... :thumbup:
few u/i suggestions:
1. can you make the sliders bigger (wider)?
2. maybe adding - and + buttons (left/right of the sliders) that change the value by 1 step down or up
3. app opens after reboot, applies the settings and stays open until i close it manually (is this normal or a bug?)
if you need a graphic layout for the app - you know where to find me
Thnx you
Applied this settings and whites are now white.

why would i want new settings if i didn't reboot because of this tool?
your tool changes settings on the fly and without asking for a reboot...
so, if after the reebot i decide to change something, i'll open the app myself... makes sense?
Wow, haven't checked-in for a week and now there is an app for it! Great Job. Did you find any other display parameters while you were building this app?:good::good::good:
This is just a simple Xposed module that disables pulling down the notification shade / quick settings tiles while on the lock screen (but doesn't break media player controls on lock screen). Only tested on Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL on Android 10 (more on this later).
Background: This has always been an annoying aspect of Android for me, and it's dumb from a security standpoint. Being able to pull down the quick settings tiles on a locked phone is dumb. Why hasn't Android natively built this in yet? Using this and Gravity Box to disable power menu on lock screen makes me feel a lot better in the event my phone ever gets lost or stolen. It's dumb that anyone can steal your phone and immediately toggle your settings (turn off WiFi, Mobile Data, toggle Airplane Mode, etc) and/or turn the phone off... I've been spoiled for years by the OG HTC devs (particularly LeeDroid and Team Venom) and their ROMs with these features baked in, so it's back to using Xposed to fill that gap for me and my wife, lol. Anyway, I pair these mods along with the Lockwatch app from Play Store and it gives me more peace of mind. Hey, anything to increase the chances of recovering a lost or stolen phone, am I right?
Credits / Technical Details: This module is based off of char101's published Xposed Repo module, and all credits and thanks should go to him. This is the first app / APK I've compiled so it was a nice learning experience, but it was all based off of his source and I really just needed to remove a few lines of code to get it to work properly with our phones. His mod worked fine and disabled the quick settings pull down on the lock screen, as intended. The problem was that it would also prevent media player controls from functioning (and I would assume other possible functions as well). To fix this, I just removed DISABLE2_NOTIFICATION_SHADE references from the code, leaving DISABLE2_NONE and DISABLE2_QUICK_SETTINGS untouched. The mod still works perfectly as intended. Only tested on Pixel 4 / 4 XL on Android 10. I'm sure it would work on other devices as well.
I really just did this on a whim for me and my wife's own phones and wasn't planning on sharing it, but I figure other people may have also wanted this for their P4's as well, so enjoy. Again, all thanks go to @char101!
Installation:
- Download .APK file attached to this post.
* If you have char101's original module installed already, I would highly recommend uninstalling it first.
- It's an Xposed module. Install the APK and enable in your Xposed Manager.
- Reboot and test.
Based on: https://repo.xposed.info/module/com.github.char101.qslock
Source for modified module: https://github.com/i5lee8bit/xposed-qslock-P4mod
Just noticed something that worried me at first, but turned out to be nothing of concern afaik, but in case anyone else gets spooked by it: I just noticed last night that if you launch the camera while on the lock screen, you can still pull down the notification shade. Same can be said for other apps that can be active over lock screen (e.g. Phone app during active call).
However, the quick settings are still inaccessible while locked. The notification contents that do show will follow the same rules as your settings, so if you have it set to hide sensitive notification content (which you probably should... otherwise 2-factor authentication is extremely pointless if your device were lost or stolen), you still won't be able to see the notification content itself, just that there is a pending notification for that particular app.
I hope you're finding the mod useful, for anyone who is using it. Please let me know if you find any issues with the module, thanks. I'm by no means a developer, but I have more free time than usual for obvious global reasons and it's a fun learning experience while the free time lasts. =)
I've been using the original NoQSInLockScreen, and while it did the job, it really bothered me that you couldn't use media controls on the lock screen (or expand notifications).
This mod took care of that problem. Really happy with it!
Just wanted to say thank you for putting it up!
Tested it on Android 9 (LineageOS 16.0).
Just wanted to stop in and say thank you for the awesome edxposed mod! I appreciate the extra security and hope you're doing well!

Just wanted to let you know, as a fellow (now former) user of this mod, that I found a better way of doing this! So just thought I'd share:
Using GravityBox app for EdXposed framework you can simply define which individual QS tiles you want to secure. That way you still have access to the QuickSettings pulldown menu from the lockscreen (unlike this mod which disables it altogether), but things like Wi-Fi, Location, Airplane Mode etc. are secure and not accessible until you've unlocked your phone. It's a much more practical and elegant solution in my opinion.
Check out my post on this from Reddit where I describe the steps if you're interested:
https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/gdvwml/securing_quick_settings_tiles_on_lock_screen/
Can't wait to try, does your mod support Android 11?

I completely forgot about this mod, haha. But thanks for letting us know!
As @nanquan mentioned (a long time ago, lol), you can also achieve (essentially) the same thing by using GravityBox. It is indeed a more "elegant" solution, and since I already use GravityBox heavily, I now just use GB's tweaks to lock down the main comm tiles.
But I'm glad this still works, for those who still prefer to use it for whatever reason. I can see it still being useful if you have a lot of custom QS tiles and want to keep it all locked down.

Hello,very usefull mod.Any chance to re-continue it?I use los 19.1 and keeping quick tiles unlocked is extremely unsafe these days..
Do not work with zygisk and lsposed.
Any fork for this?

As well as enabling the module you need to tick the checkbox for 'system framework' and 'system ui'.
