Lockscreen music controls - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Hi Everyone, I've recently left the iOS eco system and purchased myself the pixel 2 XL, yes I made the plunge and no way do I regret it!
Just a quick question regarding the lockscreen controls, is there anyway to have the music controls larger? Currently this is limited to a single line and was wondering if there's a app or tweak to make this bigger.
Thank you!

Not able to do it natively from the device. However, a custom rom or using xposed may do what your looking for. You'll need to be rooted of course for this to work though.

Maybe when P is finalized...

[APP] Samsung LED Controller - Tasker

Hey Guys,
I have just released an app on the Google Play store.
It is a plugin for tasker so you can control your notification led
Free - Ad Free
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tinyroar.galaxys3ledcontroller
(this plugin only works for touchwiz roms)
Like a charm!
I had searched for a solution to this months ago before giving up. Thanks for this!
I can confirm that it is working on a rooted Verizon S3, as well as a rooted Verizon Note 2. Finally, I can sleep without feeling like I live next to a lighthouse. :victory:

just noticed your post above saying your testing on note..lol sorry.. Im hoping that is note 2.
Thanks for this. I am relatively new to Tasker and this helps out quite a bit. Works perfectly on my SIII.

So, what can you do with this... not being flippant, just really getting into Tasker now and checking out all the different apps and plugins available and what they do, etc. Examples?
from my understanding there was a bug with tasker and lightflow that they wouldn't properly control the LED on the S3. This plug in allows you to create tasker tasks to turn them off and on.

I think any LED "bugs" would lie with LightFlow. It's just an all around POS on these devices.
This works great on both my gs3 and note 2

I don't know if it's even possible what i'm about to ask, but would there be a chance to make this tasker plugin compatibele with Sony devices, for instance Xperia Z1?
I'm already trying solutions for hours but still cannot get tasker to turn off LED notifications at night when my device is charging on a dock.
I never had any problems with this before because I lways charged my phones face down, but now I'm using a dock so this is really bugging me!
EDIT: Light Flow isn't working for me either.
I know this is a REAL old thread, but I'm hoping someone might have a copy of this app. I was using it on my S7 Edge, accidentally deleted it, and it's no longer available in the Play Store. Any help greatly appreciated.
Edit: Never mind. I found the app here: http://www.apkmonk.com/app/com.tinyroar.galaxys3ledcontroller/

Moto X ROM?!

is there any chance for a Moto X ROM for our i747s?

Unless you or someone else can port it and get all of the drivers installed and working then probably not. Besides that what is it about the ROM that you are wanting? As far as looks it is almost AOSP completely. Maybe a few extra things that comes with blur which only adds to bloat.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
I'm not sure anyone will see a compelling reason to do this. As was posed above.. what feature(s) in Moto X are you looking for?
An ASOP ROM or actually a wicked ROM (which has a lot of configuration options); choosing the ASOP lockscreen.. plus the Dynamic Notifications app (which adds the distinctive Moto X notifications) would achieve the same thing for me.
But it all depends on why you want it. Were these the key features that caught your eye?

AFAIK.. which isn't that much regarding Moto X.. they are using voice control. The Samsung S Voice app does much the same thing. There is also the Air swipes app which adds touch less S4 style air gestures to the S3. You may want to look at those apps.

Lock rotation in landscape?

Hello all, sadly I'm using 1000 post for this. But my brother just recently got this phone. He is coming from an iPhone so huge difference. One thing we both can't figure out, is how to lock it in landscape. Every time we try, it reverts back to portrait and locks. I couldn't really find much on Google or here. But the one thing I did find, made it seem like you need the xposed g3 tweak box.
So, is it possible to lock the rotation in landscape without root/xposed, or is that the only option?
Thanks guys!

Launch any app with the screen off gestures

I have made a mod for the oneplus one. And since i think these devices have much in common I'm curious if the mod works on the find7 as well.
Is there anyone who wants to try it?

@Thomson2412:
First of all - if anybody with Find 7 is to flash this, he will probably have a custom ROM and it does not have to be CM.
Your zip is obviously for CM ROM. I am using OmniROM with Android 7.1 at the moment.
I flashed it and found out it is not working at all. Altought, it does add the options to settings panel.
Setting any option does not do anything and checking Haptic feedback for any action causes crash.
---
When I flashed the Omni version you have in your original thread (after I removed the OnePlus related checks) the settings options were not there at all - it is in Settings - Device Features.
1. Setting app for Camera gesture works.
2. Clicking on setting vibrator strength causes crash.
And I might be wrong, but it seems that flashing that zip messed up my "menu button one-click".
I do not get any menu popups anymore. Even when I put the original version back..
@Thomson2412 hi I find it's nice feature since I have used this kind of feature when I had oppo f1... Now I am using zuk z1 a msm8974/sd801 device... Can you help me to port it for my device.? Thanks in advanced..

I can't add gestures to a rom that doesn't have them by default because that would require a kernel change and I'm not capable (yet) to implement "new" gestures. Currently I don't have the time nor interest in learning how to change a kernel. So if your device doesn't have gestures I'm afraid I cant be of any help. I only alter what gestures do not add them or create custom ones.
I hope this answers your question, if not feel free to ask some more

If you are talking those off screen gesture features which comes in OPPO phones mostly (like draw C to open camera or draw M to open music app ) then these kind of features "by default" we dont have in any stock or custom rom But
if Double to tap wake screen (D2W) feature is enough to work your mod on my device then yes we do have this thing in all ROMs by default(kernel enabled )....,,

[Xposed] (Security) Disable Quick Settings Pulldown on Lock Screen

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?

09 June 21 update.. and the mod is still woring

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.
