Searching on the proximity sensor I found these two parameters for the startup.txt:
board-htcrhodium-proximity.on=1 to enable the proximity device (default off)
board-htcrhodium-proximity.wake=1 to wake up the phone on proximity
http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Kernel_boot_command-line_parameters
But I can't get them to work.
Are they really available on FRX07 or NeoFroyo?
Thanks

The prox sensor is not enabled on the hardware level (kernel). Perhaps they will be available soon tho, I think ACL was working on them.

Oh... good. Thanks for letting me know!
Would you mind if I ask you about using the PTT button?

Yes and I have one of those. Any chance I can give it some use? I googled a lot and tried a couple things with no success. Thanks!

I think that if it's enabled kernel-side(I don't think so) you need to edit keymaps in rootfs to use it
But if it's not used kernel-side then you have to mess with the source

There's some hacking at the rootfs you'd have to do. F22's rootfs allowed you to remap the key to a few different things, but unfortunately he never made a merge request for his code... which wouldn't have been easy, he would've had to change the way he did certain things. His rootfs hasn't been updated in quite some time, so I would not recommend using it. I'm sure you can take his keymap stuff tho and put it into an updated rootfs - with a little bit of manual labor you'll be able to remap the PTT key to a few different things.
See F22's rootfs thread for more info on that.
i should have something to test for the prox sensor this week. Just finished the patch .. To be honest i have no idea when it's actually used or if our userland is ready for it.

I'll be happy to test it
kernel done but turns out we need some userland patches.
Wow you're really Johnny on the spot
i dunno if thats good or bad
I thought it was good, but sometimes when I try to make a reference it goes horribly awry.
Looks like this will be saved for gingerbread. Since userland changes need to be made, its not worth it to make em for froyo.
So next release of GB will have it

why dont they make a apk or zip with the security feature when someone trys to unlock the ur phone with wrong passcode it takes a picture, if the technology is available why not use it. Some people want to be sure that no one touches there phone, just the way i feel thanks, and im going to keep posting my thoughts maybe someone will notice.
Cerberus App, Lookout, and other security apps have the feature you are looking for.

Does anyone know if it's possible to customize the always on display? I'm rooted and have Xposed, so if there's any Magisk module or Xposed mod anyone knows of, please share
I don't need to see the alarm info on my AOD, I'd rather have it replaced with battery info, and I'd like to have a mobile/WiFi icon (whichever is active).
It would also be nice to have charging info as well, but I haven't been able to find any app/mod/module that does something like this. Any info would be appreciated
Anyone? :crying:
This will very nice....
Well, as far as i know that is not possible.
However, It is possible to show it where the "NowPlaying"-Text appears.
I could try to build an App that shows the Battery-percentage at that place, but i don't know if that's still meaningful since Android P is coming up and already has that implemented. Would you be interested?
Well, the Icons are just placeholders - but take this as a hint to what is (maybe) coming up soon.

Maybe not with an Xposed module, but a developer I'm guessing could use OMS with substratum to theme it? It is possible to edit it with OMS, although to what extent I'm not sure, I'm not a developer. Here is a clock theme that changes the AOD clock: Google Play
As a side note, I'm not sure if the developer intended it to edit the AOD, as it's for the lockscreen clock, but it changes the AOD one. At least with the options I selected in substratum.

Yeah Sure, i will invite both of you to the GPlay-Alpha as soon as i finish this puppy.
Sadly, over the weekend I can't finish this, since I got a house that needs some work, and later today I'm off for a great time in a musical.
But i already made the App open source since I wrote the first line of code for it. So if anyone here knows how to contribute in the actual Development, hit me up and I'll send you my Repo. ?

Hey can I test this app too?
So, I guess I've got enough Testers now.
Just to give a quick update to all of you:
This week I did literally nothing on the App as I was at the ophthalmologist (eye doctor), needed to clean up my House, get my Car trough the main inspection and beside all that I got a regular Job I need to go to. :silly:
But I got my Phone back - nearly no blue shift, nearly no black crush, and my speaker rattle is gone! :highfive:
This evening I'm going out with my girlfriend. So I may be able to get back to work on the App today for an hour or so. I'll keep you updated!

Hi, i was wondering if its possible to port the face recognition option we used to have on older android versions as a mod on the pixel 6 pro. I believe they used the front camera.
Are there any accuracy problems associated with using front camera?
I just needed a faster option to unlock at work as my hands get kinda dirty and the FP sensor on pixel 6 is sensitive to dust unlike the one on my pixel 3 XL (RIP legend).
If there is a solution that exists already, please forgive my naivety and point me to the thread/discussion for it. Thank you!
I don't think there is currently a solution and I doubt there will be unless Google includes it later.
Can you use smart unlock, with your works WiFi? Or location unlock if it has that?
There were reports that FaceID is in the code, but that it was not used on the P6 because it drains the battery. Since the battery is not great as is, I can see the point. I also wonder how secure it is, as Apple uses dedicated hardware to ensure security (thus the notch), but Google seems to rely on the camera alone -- I assume it's a more secure unlock than the totally inon-secure fake FaceID unlocks on many Chinese phones, like Xiaomi.
On another note, I am trying to use my Garmin watch as a trusted device, but about half the time it doesn't work and the phone would ask for PIN. The trusted device implementation, at least with a watch, is kind of a joke, so I am thinking of disabling it at this point.
I am using Trusted Location. Seems like its working fine. Google 'begs' to have you turn 'on' location function for several of its niceties to work. So security joins the growing pile.

Trusted location is poor security, for many reasons.
Anyone at the location can unlock your phone, so for most of us it's not a solution.
My security is my phone is always on me. I never have left a phone anywhere, lost one, or had one stolen...

Was about to say this. Wifi/Location unlocking when at work is not a good idea.
There is a reason why we lock our phones, and no human is perfect - you might forget it for a moment, or get distracted - whatever.
If someone doesn't care for security in any way (I am perfect & my phone will 24/7 stay on me, no matter what) then he/she/is doesn't need any sort of security active in the first place.

It can certainly be done, but you'll have to write some of the code for it yourself. There are a number of open source facial recognition packages available that you can leverage for this.

I work in construction and so there's usually no wifi at work. And the location differs almost everyday so that won't be a viable solution as well.

Nononono, wrong approach. You do NOT want to bypass phone security. You want to integrate into it. Android is an open source operating system, just find the code where the 4 included unlock mechanisms are defined (swipe/pattern/pin/password), and add your own in the same way.

Fax cus I'm sure that "don't turn off screen if I'm looking at it" feature uses battery and it's ALWAYS ON when you're on your phone if you turn it on. Face ID only on when you use it, how can that even affect battery ?

Yeah but it would only be looking for one thing. Maybe all the battery used on image processing for FaceID adds up over the many unlocks during the course of the day. Thats why i am keen to have it enabled only while I'm at work as the FP works fine in all other circumstances.
