I love NFC and was hoping to use it a lot with the chips I bought. However unlocking the phone first is really stupid. Is there some way to enable NFC to work at the lock screen? So that the NFC unlocks it or something? It is kinda useless to me now. BTW I have root, but no recovery. I don't want recovery because of the triangle stuff.
why u dont just enable the NFC all the time? i dont think with NFC enable/disable the battery drain is noticable

I think you understood me wrong. NFC doesn't work when the screen is off/locked. That sucks, because I want to use it when coming home/leaving home and I really don't see the point in using this if I have to unlock it first.
Yeah,
Even the manual says it only works when the screen is unlocked.

Yeah but that is a flashable zip. As I said I don't have and want recovery.
you are sure that a file for s3 (different firmware as note 2) will work?

I'm not trying. Also I just hope there is some way without recovery.
I really hope there will be an "official" way at some point.
If anyone is making a mod for this, maybe we can bypass the security concerns if there was a pop-up that requires you to approve the tag first, and be pre-approved for known tags. This way security is not compromised, and we also get the added convenience as well.

You can just extract the zip using something like rom toolbox, and then copy the files to there respective place manually, that way you don't need recovery.

Seconded, would love this for my note ii
I'm using this method which is for Note 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1999569
Works fine. Have set up a few tags and using it with Secure Settings, NFC Task Launcher and Tasker to do a number of things without having to wake the phone up or unlock first.
The only issue is that if you put your wallet in the same pocket as your phone, it will beep when it scans the the NFC chips in the credit cards
The method replaces the NFC service file in the system directory so at the very least you need root access.

Thanks for the link, looks promising. Now i just need to figure out how to install it without using clockworkmod...
Edit: Kindly, today, dr.ketan told us how to do it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36824840&postcount=1
All works for me, woohoo but whenever you use the browser or chrome, it crashes the nfc service
I'm experiencing that problem as well now. Also on launching YouTube service. It's annoying and makes it more inconvenient than having nfc screen off. There is another method through XposedFramework which is non destructive on the stock NFC.apk file. Might be worth a look?
www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/microdownloads/nfc-lockscreenoff-enabler.9/viewfile
But before that, I tried to restore my NFC to a non crashing version after doing the CWM method. I couldn't get my stock NFC.apk back, even with TitaniunBackup. Had to do a selective /system restore.

To start DayNote from a shortcut like any other app. Right now it only starts when you use a smart cover and it wakes your tablet.

1. LGTouchControlAreas.apk and LockScreenSettings.apk in system/app.
2. LGSlideAside.apk in system/priv-app.
3. Set all APK permissions to 644.

**UPDATE**
I just updated to F240K20h and found that it breaks compatibility with Knock Code. SlideAside still works fine.
Set knock code as unlock method, but the grid doesn't show on the lock screen, just the pin pad. Slide aside works.

Yup. Same thing. I could set the knock code in the settings but after locking the phone, it takes me to the pin screen and as it doesn't accept my actual pin, i have to enter 5 wrong pins to get forgot pin button and enter my actual pin to unlock the phone. And yes slide aside works.
Make sure you set permissions correctly before reboot.
644 = rw-r--r-- correct?

Are you saying that the screen can be awakened by knock? I thought that was a feature specific to Snapdragon 800 series devices and kernel related code was required to make it work.
No, it is purely an unlocking type - when you wake your phone a grid overlays that you tap based on the pattern you set up.

Did you actually set the PIN during the knockcode setup? Is knockcode selected as the unlocking function? It should work fine if you did set it up correctly.

Yup, i did set up the pin and the knock code was selected as lockscreen mode yet it still takes me to pin pad. The apks should be copied to system>app right?. First i copied to system>app as suggested by op, then i copied all 3 to system>priv-app as suggested by another member. Stil aint working though.

Yes. I did it by accident, changed permission and rebooted phone. Changed lock screen settings to knock code.

I really like the SlideAside feature. It's almost like a multiwindow feature like on Samsung devices, but saves screen space.
I haven't tried the knock code feature, but I'm going to pass on that anyway. I just have no interest in any of LG's "Knock" features. I mean, I might learn to like them if I had native implementation of them on my phone, but I think that even if I had the G2, I'd probably disable the features (assuming the power button is eay to press I guess)
.
@JaySee5:
Did you modify the files in any way to make the SlideAside option appear in the Settings?
If not, I'm wondering if the Jelly Bean Aspect Ration Correction feature can be ported into KitKat and still appear in the settings list. It was just a system file from what I recall. I'd try it myself, but I lost all my Jelly Bean backups. They were all on my phone and when upgrading to Kitkat, the internal SD got wiped.
(I really need this aspect ratio option back. I rely on some old apps that dont display correctly on my phone now).
I didn't do anything. This is other peoples' work. I just made a thread for it so everyone can find it easily.

I'm just throwing this here:
After having Slide Aside working flawlessly for a full day, the app and system began crashing after about a day.
Slide Aside would crash if you try to add more than 1 app.
Settings would crash whenever you accessed a system-made apps list (I don't know how else to explain this). The only way to fix this is to factory reset the phone.
An example would be Settings>Apps
In fact, I was able to repeat this crash every time by going to Settings>Apps then scrolling over to "All."
If I scrolled down the list at any speed, Settings would crash at the exact same point.
Another example would be the apps list in Titanium Backup, which is not system-made. This means that the problem does not occur in this app,
I'm not sure yet if this is actually caused by SlideAside or GravityBox. The latest version of GravityBox (which I'm using obviously), has a changelog entry stating, "Fixed severe bug in AppPicker affecting ring targets/quick app tile icons." This COULD be the culprit, but I'm not sure yet. I'm currently debugging the issue though. I just factory reset the phone and updated GravityBox and don't have SlideAside installed. Everything is working as expected ow, but I'm going to give it a couple days to see if the problem happens again. If not, then I'll install SlideAside and repeat.

Oh ok. Thanks.
I still wonder if the Aspect Ratio Correction file can simply be copied to the system and have its permissions set correctly- no editing of the file's programming. Then maybe the setting will appear... Hmmmmmm

Just an FYI: This feature needs a special kernel to support it. There were some Jelly Bean roms that included a modified kernel, but they were only working on the E988, from what I remember.
Even those kernels weren't perfect though. People reported high battery drain.
Hi Everyone,
Need help. I've been trying so hard to access my Note 5's Service mode to try and test if my Fingerprint scanner is working (as I keep on getting the dreaded error whenever I try to access Fingerprints) but to no avail. I keep getting Connection problem or invalid MMI code error message no matter what code I try. Any suggestions? I'm using this phone in the Philippines by the way with a non AT&T sim card. My phone is not rooted.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes this is the one.
This is the correct keypad code and has worked since the release firmware and still does on marshmallow. You know you are supposed to enter this in the phone app dialer right? The fingerprint test is in Sensors on that codes page.

I just noticed something. I Checked Application Maneger in Settings 》scrolled ro the right to the All tab and I have Phone Applications. All are version 1.0.0. 1 is 100kb and the 2 others are 8kb in size. All 3 are activated. I cleared cache on the 2 8kb sized Phone app and forced stop them both. Tried *#873636# on the dialer = same error, tried *#0*# = same error.
Can I ask help from you guys how many phone apps do you have in the All tab in Application Manager? If 3, which is the one activated?
Many thanks in advance guys!

Where can I find Package Disabler? My Device Admin contains only:

Android Device Manager > set to On or activated

Can it be found in any of those?

It's just an app that can be purchased in the Google play Store that is used to disable things on the phone that can't be disabled through the phone's normal application manager. If you haven't installed it, it's not on your phone

You simply asked what Package Disabler is. I never said you needed it to get you service mode working. If *#0*# wasn't working before, installing that app isn't going to help.
I'm not sure I understand what your motive is. At the beginning of this thread you said you're trying to check if your fingerprint scanner is working. After looking at the options in my service mode menu, I don't even see anything regarding the scanner.
After re-examining the service menu (*#0*#), there is a fingerprint sensor test under the general sensor test area.
I don't know why you're not able to access it, though.

This one doesn't work for the people who knows how to use the phone. At least there's a security code or finger print request and also this won't work for the pictures, videos and files, only for app.
Secure folder is intended precisely for this thing
