I have searched the forum and haven't been able to locate anything. I upgraded to lollipop and wanted to try the new trusted faces option for face unlock but can't find an option to enable. I was wondering if it is missing on our device or if there is a trick to enabling it. Thanks

Hey guys,
I did some searching and asked in some IRC channels, but couldn't find a satisfactory answer. I heard Biwoto Cerbero can maybe do I what I want it to do, but even though I'm in New Jersey, their app keeps downloading in Spanish for me. (I emailed them, I'll update this thread if that app can do what I want)
Basically, I have a Nexus 7 I'm trying to enable as a beer pouring authenticator for the Kegbot project. NFC authentication is easy past the lockscreen, but I also want to be able to use the tablet. Seeing as how I'm in college, letting some drunk friends play with my personal gmail sounds like a bad idea.
So I have two questions. One, I haven't seen this for the Nexus 7, but I know it's possible-- how hard would it be (presumably in a custom ROM) to enable NFC to work with the lockscreen off?
Two, is it possible to implement a top lock over my pattern unlock, wherein the top lock (could be anything, but presumably just a simple swipe) would allow access to only one application (the Kegbot app that responds to authenticated NFC tags by offering to pour a beer), but still keep another lockscreen in place to prevent other apps from being used?
That would also allow me to keep an app that writes specific strings or something to the tags to allow for access control if I don't want people rewriting their own NFC cards. (Though I could always write lock those)
Thanks!
Hate to reply to myself, but I think I've found the answer.
So my googling turned up this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5iaXdvdGEuY2VyYmVybyJd
It has some localization issues they're trying to fix, but it's not hard to change the language to English if you play around with the settings.
I've been emailing back and forth with one of the developers, who has been helping me out a ton. If you have the premium version (only a dollar), you can call their lock screen (either PIN or NFC) to come up after you leave the application you are in that you want to restrict access to. So I have my face unlock, get past the Cerbero lock, then I open my app. I call an intent in the app on destruction of the launcher activity that brings up the lock again. It's not the cleanest solution, but it works for my purposes.

Did you have any luck being able to use NFC without having to unlock the screen? i've seen other device specific solutions on xdad but nothing for the Nexus 7
Thanks.
Some time ago there was a modified nfc apk wich worked in both my nexus s and galaxy nexus...and it could do that.

I belive it was on gnex themes and apps forum.
Anyone found out how to get NFC working without the screen being on?
I've tried several methods under Gnex and GS3 forums but it doesn't work.
Hi Guys,
I was wondering if anyone has got this Module working with the G3? I use NFC tags stuck to my door frames to launch actions from my pocket as I walk in the room. With the Custom unlock screen the module does not work with the G3 at the moment. The Dev said it was easy to fix for a developer with the phone.... I have the phone but no dev Knowledge
Can anyone help?
Many Thanks
ScottyMac
Bump!
If someone could figure this out it would be greatly appreciated.
ScottyMac, what did the dev say exactly?
hi all!
not new to this forum but i lost my other username so made a new account.
I got an enquiery regarding the moto 360. I was wondering if there was an app that will allow me to take notes from my galaxy note 4 and be able to view it on the watch. I know you can say commands such as "take note" but i would like to know if i can write it down on my note 4 and somehow be able to display it on the moto screen.
Is there any features like this? can anyone help me?
It should allow me to view notes that i took from my note 4 and be able to display it from my watch. Please help ! :crying:

Hey, I want to know that is there a way to get Private Space in Honor 7x...??
It wasn't in nougat and I thought it might come in OREO, It was mentioned in my update's changelog too but it is not in firmware...
Is there a way we get it somehow ??

nope.... Emui has a feature called private space... It lets you make two different accounts in your mobile with different data.... You can assign different fingers to access them..
For Example: if you open phone with finger 1 the main space will open with all your data... if you open phone with finger 2 then private space will open with completely different storage and settings of its own...
This feature is only for specific models of the Honor 7x. I had it on a LA (latin america) build but not on my US (usa/united states of america) build.

Stop taking everything for granted and port it yourself, developers aren't required to port things for you, so at least say please and ask nicely... geez, I don't get what's with the double question marks and all this.

1) Double Question marks is my style of typing you can see that anywhere in my posts.
2) Can someone please port it for us because I don't know how to do that so I'm asking for help... Okay now ??

I can't port it because I don't have it either, and I don't understand why you even need this feature, perhaps if you do some digging around you can install an apk.

That sounds like an awesome app if you asked me! You use a different finger for getting different modes? What's not to like about that?(?)
I asked about something like this a long time ago and got nothing. I guess the Android OS is just setup for using one finger.......right?

Bro this has been a huawei/honor feature for a long time now.... It's just they don't provide it on budget devices... You can find it on Mate 10 Lite and all higher budget devices of Huawei/Honor.... Named PRIVATE SPACE
I stumbled upon something like this on my mate se the other day. I have my work profile on this device but it's not a managed device. This is easy, get the app "island", install and setup the island in the app...no need to setup the account or anything. Then go to settings > security & privacy > screen lock and passwords. Disable "Use the same lock method" under "Work profile" to setup your separate fingerprint.

Umm... Okay let me check it....
I really like my mi band 4, bought it from xiaomi official shop in Budapest for equivalent of 35$ and I have found the price phenomenal for the features.
I liked the way we can change watche faces but it will be awesome if xiaomi or any dev can release an editor on android so we can customise on the go by making our own designs.
There is a tool on PC but it's not easy to use.
As this band is relatively new I still hope such easy editors will come on android
Technically it's probably possible, but I doubt that anyone will bother. It's just too cumbersome to create a WF on a phone. For a simple custom watch face (different background picture) you can already use Mi Fit or Notify & Fitness. For anything more complicated just boot up your PC and do the magic there.
Btw. not sure which tool you have in mind, but I doubt that there can be anything more simple (yet offering all the possible features) than this https://amazfitwatchfaces.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=890
