Hi there,
I'd like to leave NFC turned on but the icon is seriously annoying me. Is there any way to turn it off? I tried solutions found for other devices but the config options described there (like a flag in build.prop) do not exist on the G3 as far as I can see.
Also, I know that Xposed might be able to do it but I want to continue using ART, so that's not an option.
TIA

hey everyone. I have a question. I searched but didn't see what I was looking for in this phone forum. I got the N2 on Friday, came from the epic touch. I was running Easy Profiles on the e4gt and wanted to use it again on the N2. Well, I am still am for sound changes. But one of the main reasons I use EP is to disable the lock screen when I was at home and enable it when I was not at home. I know jellybean broke EPs capability for this. So... my question is... what else can I use? I don't mind using a widget but the auto changer with EP was awesome! (and once they fix it, I'll go back to that primarily I'm sure) I've tried no lock and no lock screen. neither disable the lock screen. I've tried all 3 apps with my systems settings as slide to lock, lock with pattern and no lock. it's just not doing what I want it to and I'm at a loss. if I set the system lock to any type of lock, no lock and no screen lock wouldn't keep it unlocked when it was engaged. if I changed the system settings to no lock, the 2 apps wouldn't lock it. easy profiles has 2 different options with the lock screen and I've tried multiple variations with that too. does anyone have any suggestions? ideas? apps to try? I am currently downloading a few ROMs to try out but I'm thinking it's a jellybean issue and not a stock rom issue.
I was in the exact same boat and loved EasyProfiles.
I started using Tasker yesterday and checked out: http://tasker.wikidot.com/profile-index
I still at noob at it but managed to disable the pattern keyguard.
Now I think it is a JB limitation but Tasker ability to disable kerguard stops once you chose something in the Notification bar.
Check it out, what they say about it true. Tasker is awesome and I'm only now learning how great it is- like automating talking SMS when in the car. EasyProfiles couldn't do that.
thanks. I'll look into it again. I downloaded it last night but uninstalled because I didn't see what I was looking for and didn't have the brain capacity to figure it out!
Try this for starters:
Profile "Unlock wifi" - State -> Net -> wifi connected
Task "Unlock"- Display -> Keyguard -> off
I used that to work yesterday and will play/learn more today.
Like I said though, accessing the notifications makes it lock again so I toggle the wifi off/on to make Tasker disable keyguard again.
I installed secure settings from the market, disabled everything but pattern lock in it. then went back to easy profiles, set locale app as secure settings and so far it's working.
Hi,
I use LG smart screen on my phone, I find it very usefull as I tend to browse and read on my phone and it keeps the screen on while I'm reading.
Sometimes, I'm not sure if it is every time it acts or only when it doesn't detect my face correctly, it shows a notification (an eye inside a rectangle) on the notification bar and it is distracting.
Also since the Lollipop update it also shows on the lockscreen and that is annoying.
I would like to diable that notification in particular (but keep on using the feature). I tried disabling the notifications from the app's properties but it is not posible, it's greyed out. I also tried to convert the app to an user app with titanium backup but It didn't work, still greyed out. I couldn't find useful information here or on the Internet.
I'm rooted and have xposed for Lollipop installed.
Do you know a way to diable it?
Thanks,
Miki

I believe the eye means it is looking for your face because its about to shut the screen off. If you see that eye hold the phone so it can see you better and screen won't shut off. This seems to work for me.
Yes, that's what it means, the problem is I use glasses and that seems to confuse the app, and even though it works it shows the notification and that distracts me when I'm focused reading. It also shows on the lockscreen and it doesn't look right.

Hi folks,
I'm running stock (rooted) Lollipop on my M8 with pattern unlock. The notification and quick settings are active whilst in the locked state. I have both the wifi and data toggles on the quick settings. This poses a risk to me, if my phone was to part company from me, anyone could disable connectivity and stop my phone from being tracked. How do I 'lock' the notifications drawer when the pone is locked? I would like to disable the power menu as well whilst locked, but I'm not sure if that can be done.

Go to settings > security and reset your pattern. You should get the options to show all, hide sensitive, or don't show notifications in lockscreen.

It's not notifications, it's the notification bar. See attached.

This is how Lollipop is, there's no way to disable it. I agree it's an issue, but a thief also has other ways of blocking connections (remove sim, power off phone, etc).

That's right. You can run commands in fastboot as well that disables and resets the lockscreen in case you forget your PIN/password/pattern.

True, but in the time it would take someone to work out how to either remove the SIM or force power it off, I should be able to track the phone, plus leaving WiFi on allows me to connect to it even over public WiFi and get a location.

I'm not sure the average thief is that clued up about fastboot commands.
Thanks for the input here, I'm going to seek out a workaround with xposed modules, this should not be a thing.

WiFi is one thing. But most current smartphones are the same in terms of powering off (just hold the power button) or popping the SIM (just stick a pin in the hole to remove the tray), and a lot of folks know how to do these; and probably most thieves know how.
I don't debate that you have a legitimate security concern. Just don't agree with the comment about thieves being able to power off or remove the SIM quickly.
I'd be just as concerned about the casual (non-thief) person who found the phone thinking "hey, free phone!"

I was looking around at xposed modules, and Advanced Power Menu+ (APM+) has some anti-theft features, though they mostly deal with access to the power menu. You should check it out. I haven't used it in a while, but it says it is compatible with lollipop.
I plan to use my old note 2 as a carPC.
Will likely only be using it for media, GPS, and read my OBD2.
Needs to be compatible with the Tasker app (not sure if an issue or not) and the OTG-Y cable.
Need to be able to disable lock screen entirely, be able to have homescreen rotation, and on screen navigation.
Would appreciate any input!
TIA!
Alright, now I'm running LiquidSmooth 4.4.4
Has built-in option for on-screen navi. Working great.
Installed an app correctly named 'screen rotation' and does exactly what I need.
Enabled developer option so I could enable stay awake while charging.
Discovered I could disable the lock options entirely (sorry, company has had me on iPhone for awhile now).
Still trying to find something to allow double tap screen for sleep on/off. Recommendations please.
Going to test Tasker here in a moment.
Don't have an OTG-Y cable to test with this ROM. Can anyone confirm?

Check out the Xposed module named DoubleTapToSleep. It allows you to turn off the screen by double tapping on the status bar. It works pretty well. The original thread for it is below.

That looks like it would almost work. I still need to awake via tap as well.
All the buttons will be covered.
Only need it for night driving really. Quick and easiest way I can think of.

I haven't seen any apps that turn on the screen by tapping on it for a Samsung device. You could use an app that turns on the screen by tapping on the proximity sensor.

While my pixel is locked, I can pull down the notification bar and access my phone settings (wifi, data, Bluetooth, hotspot, etc.).
Is there a way to disable access to those settings on the lock screen? I don't want those settings accessible until my phone is unlocked.

Did you start another thread with the same title? I can't seem to find it now. But nonetheless, I can't figure it out either. I've seen posts about using the systemUI tweaks but that doesn't seem to work. I kind of believe it to be a security problem since you can disable wifi, data, bt etc. And I really don't want to know how to do it with a custom rom since I'd never run one on this device since my bl is locked.
Bump on this. Is it possible to disable the navigation dropdown on the lockscreen that allows access to all your settings? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
@facted
system allows to access some settings
anyway you can use a lock screen app
I searched and found this and I am using it myself now
Go to app setting and find disable status bar > turn it on and Done!
ZUI Locker-Elegant Lock Screen

Sorry to say but this app (ZUI locker) is crap. No finger unlock, thats for starters... I dont even want to get into the other things this program lacks of.
there's a xposed module that can fix this however xposed isn't stable on Oreo yet...
https://github.com/char101/xposed-q...main/java/com/github/char101/qslock/Main.java
maybe it can be adapted for magisk.
