[Req Fulfilled] Prevent Menu Unlock | Unlock Opens Home Menu (2.1) | Vanilla Unlock

Update: I have changed the subject title because I know that disabling "press menu to unlock" was a highly requested feature, but this thread isn't getting much action. I just wanted to make sure people knew it was here.
Geek For Me is proud to present...
a sleepy time release...
Bug Fixes and Requests for Lock Screen Related Stuff
I'm going to try and lay this out in some sort of logical order but there's going to be a lot on here so it's going to look a little messy. But I'll try! All of these fixes were done by me (flipz) so please give credit where credit is due. These are not bugs in Fresh Rom or feature requests that were necessary sent directly to me. These are bugs that affect all copies of the Sprint 2.1 based roms out right now. Thanks. PS- I was half asleep while typing all of this up and prepping the files, so please excuse any issues.
Bug:
Vanilla lock screen is all jumbled up. More information was already released here but I'll be repeating most of it.
The vanilla lock screen source code in all of our 2.1 leaks from Sprint have suffered this. The information isn't displayed properly on the page. Only time will tell if our final release will ship like that.
If you decide to use the vanilla lock screen then you will also need to use either the vanilla clock or a 3rd party application. This is because HTC's world clock is integrated in to HTC's lock screen, which you would have removed. For this reason I have ported the clock over to use with it. If you set an alarm in HTC's world clock then it will go off in the morning but you won't be able to stop it. Again... If you are using the vanilla lock screen then you must set your alarm in android's clock application (or a 3rd party app) and not in HTC's if you want to be able to turn it off in the morning.
I have made 3 different patch options. These have only been tested on Fresh 2.0d but should work perfectly fine on any rom based on Fresh 2.0d or DamageControl. All 3 are going to remove HTCLockScreen so make sure you aren't applying this update.zip unless you want to use the vanilla lock screen. It does wipe your dalvik-cache so expect a long reboot (5+ minutes) after flashing it.
Feature Request:
By default the "Menu" button will turn on and then unlock the phone. This is seen as a bug by many because it constantly causes the phone to unlock itself in your pocket.
While it isn't a bug I was able to remove it from both the vanilla lock screen and HTC's lock screen.
Bug:
When using the Menu button to unlock the phone in Sense UI it pulls up the home screen menu after hitting menu the second time, when the expected result is for the phone to just be unlocked.
I fixed this on the Rosie.apk from Fresh Rom 2.0d so if you are using any other rom or theme then you may noticed changes in your rosie.
Request:
Make the vanilla lock screen opaque so that you can't see right through it.
So far we haven't been successful in getting an actual wallpaper there, however I was able to modify the background color.
This one requires that you already have vanilla lock screen working, so grab one of the ones above to get it running, then flash this. This file is based on a file from Fresh Rom so you may see a slight change in your theme if you aren't using fresh.
DOWNLOAD ALL THE PATCHES AND GET MORE INFORMATION HERE: http://geekfor.me/fixes/bugfixes-requests-lock-screens/
I figured I should throw in there that the thread title doesn't mean I am taking request. A couple of the fixes in here are things that I have seen requested all over the boards. One in particular (disable pressing menu to unlock the phone) has been getting asked since release.

* So far we haven't been successful in getting an actual wallpaper there, however I was able to modify the background color.

So how do we do this? Having that clear screen is really annoying.
Thanks for all your hard work!
.

If I wanted the lock screen that didn't let the menu key unlock, and the black background, would I flash them on top of each other or is the black background not an option with the menu key "fix"?

Thanks for the hook up Flipz. This is perfect. I can deal with a black background until this is solved. You kick a$$!!!

Flizpmode if I were to use the blackvanilla screen, would that affect my rosie that I would be using at the time?

Doesn't seem to have affected mine.
I noticed two things:
1. First boot takes about as long as flashing a new ROM
2. Hitting menu to unlock doesn't bring up the menu, just unlocks it.
Nice work Flipz, thank you.

You flash whichever lock zip you want, then flash the black zip over it. Presto.

I just came back to report that. I flashed the lock zip without menu unlock, and then black background over it and it worked.
But.. if you're running DarchVanilla with the Gomorrah white theme, the black lock screen overwrites the white taskbar making it very hard to read the black clock/symbols on a black background. This affects the task bar at all times, not just when the lock screen is up. So anyone running that particular setup or something like it probably won't want to flash the black background.

This has been what I've been waiting for flipz you're the man!!!!

Good call. Just noticed I lost my custom task bar. Wonder if we can re-flash that, or if it nukes the lockscreen...I don't have time to play with it now, so if someone else does it, let us know

+1 Disabling the menu button unlock could signal the end of butt dialing on the Hero!

Ok, so I tested it...re-installed my custom theme. Lockscreen works, but lost the black background. Oh well. I can live with transparent.

Has anyone tested this on Damage's latest ROM?

when I flashed the black lockscreen background all I lost was the battery icon I like, so I put it in the zip.
it's the 6bar battery icon thats kind of glassy looking, in the pic below

Could you post it please. I lost the same battery that you are using and would like it back.
Cheers.

i just noticed that when i hold the power button to turn off the phone, put it in airplane mode, or turn off the 3G radio, the menu is completely messed up. not sure whether it was this or not, though.

I lost my theme. Now if I re-flash the them do you think I'll lose the black background?
Also is there any way to stop the vibration when you unlock? It's gonna take a while to get used to unlocking...

[REQ/IDEA] A different kind of lock screen

After reading THIS story about how the cops can now search your cell phone without a warrant, I started looking for a way to protect my privacy.
The trouble is, I've tried all the password protected lock screen apps, and they're just too much of a PITA - unlocking the phone dozens of times per day when I would rarely need it to actually be "locked". What I really want is an app that will securely lock down my phone on-demand. Preferably based on hardware trigger like holding down the trackball on my N1, but that could be setup later.
I thought of a few options that might be popular too:
-Make the lock screen all black so that someone might think the phone is off.
-Make the lock screen look like a calculator; "I wasn't texting while driving officer, this is just a calculator."
-Make the lock screen display the 4th amendment.
-If the phone is restarted when the lock screen was on, the phone boots back into the lock screen.
-When the lock screen is activated, it will begin encrypting all the data on your SD card.
-Have the app record failed attempts to unlock it.
So... what do you guys think? Useful?
Thanks,
Billy

I would love something like that!

Id love this app/
Sent from my Sourcery using XDA App

I had some program before that showed a "fake crash message", where you could unlock the phone by tapping the text 2 or 5 times, tilt the phone and etc. Very neat.
I also would love this kind of app!

I love it! I'd go for this.

Damn.. If you need to encrypt data on your phone's SD card you should probably re-think your security strategy and hide your sensitive information on a hard drive with TrueCrypt using their hidden partitions or something haha.
Phones are easily stolen and therefore not a good place for that stuff
But one semi-close idea/alternative to what you want, that you can also use now for the time being is available in at least the CyanogenMod CM6.1 roms(not sure about other roms seeing as I only repo sync his stuff ).
Under 'CyanogenMod Settings' and then 'User Interface' there are screen lock options..
You can set the 'screen timeout delay' (determines the delay time after screen times out for when the lock will enable) to 30 minutes and the 'screen turned off delay' (how long after you press the power/end button the lock will enable) to instantly.
With it setup like that, you'll be able to greatly reduce the number of times you need to unlock your phone as long as you let it time out - which could be a slight downfall though if you have a screen time out of a minute or more and you don't want to keep the screen on. Regardless, whenever you want it locked simply turn the screen off manually and it will be engaged next time you turn the screen on.
Hope that works out until someone finds/develops an app that will do what you want/need

Thanks for the reply and the suggestion. I totally hear ya on that first part. I was mostly trying to think of useful features, not ones that I necessarily need. I wasn't sure if you could encrypt the data on the SD Card and then continue to use it (without a huge hit to the speed).
I wouldn't think my idea would be that hard to code (at least the basic structure of it). Maybe it's time for me to learn. 800+ views, but no dev input?

JeepFreak PM'ed me asking for some input so I'll provide it both as a dev and as a user.
Lock screens are tricky to implement. Android doesn't officially support replacement lock screens and I'll admit to a fair amount of API abuse in order to get WidgetLocker to work as well as it does. But I've thus far avoided implementing any custom security for a few reasons:
1) Making it actually secure. Android's built in security is not perfect, but it is secure. Third party apps can't fully deactivate it once it's locked. The APIs that let you bypass part of it only allow that part. (This is stock Android, I know manufactures addons introduce security flaws). A third party app simply doesn't have the same information or abilities as part of the rom.
2) Reboots are hard. Android sends a BOOT_COMPLETED signal to apps (if they want it) however it's near the end of the boot process, meaning the stock lock screen is already active and the Launcher is active behind it. One way around this is to act as a replacement Launcher (Like WidgetLocker's HomeHelper) however this can cause the actual launcher to reload sometimes as it's removed from memory.
3) Explaining things is hard. If adding a kind of fake-security, that's just meant to deter a friend (or cop I guess) from messing with your phone, then some users won't realize it's just meant as a kind of fake-security and will freak out when they realize it can be bypassed by such and such method.

One not-well-known option, if you're on GSM, is that if you pull the SIM card, all your accounts credentials are revoked, locking out gmail/etc. I haven't tested if deactivating the sim remotely (via a phone call to the carrier, or maybe from some carrier's websites) would trigger the same thing but I imagine it would.
-Make the lock screen all black so that someone might think the phone is off.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It can be very confusing if the phone is actually on or not, especially since there is a slight lag between when you hit the power button and when the screen comes on. On AMOLED screens it looks like the screen is off, on LCD screens the backlight comes on, but could be set to be pretty dim (Setting backlight all the way down may cause the screen to actually turn off and ignore touches)
This could actually be done with WidgetLocker by setting the background to black, then using the back button to unlock. After I release the update with themes you could even have an invisible (or all black) slider so you slide to unlock but only in a certain position.
-Make the lock screen look like a calculator; "I wasn't texting while driving officer, this is just a calculator."
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not that using a calculator while driving is a good idea either...
If I end up adding security to WidgetLocker I'll make it themable as well so it would be possible for the pin screen to look like a calculator.
-If the phone is restarted when the lock screen was on, the phone boots back into the lock screen.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I assume you mean this for a lock screen that wouldn't normally be activate automatically. See above about reboots.
-When the lock screen is activated, it will begin encrypting all the data on your SD card.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The best setup would be for the sdcard to always be encrypted (And still usable as it'd be mounted via loop back ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystems ) so it's still usable normally by other programs. Then even if the enemy pulls the sd card right away it's not usable. This kind of encryption must be implemented at the system/rom level.

Getting bug reports for such an app would be tricky to deceiver .
This would also be possible with WidgetLocker using a custom background that looked like a crash screen. There's no current way for tapping the text a few times to unlock, however a third party dev could implement a widget or shortcut that did such a thing.

ok, ive developed a makeshift idea, and id be willing to give this a shot myself:
first off, there is a free app called "lock screen widget", which will solve the problem of quick access to the lockscreen for people without a hardware "lock" button
next, maybe i could find a lockscreen app (it owuld have to be free, otherwise i wouldnt be able to post it in here, due to warez) and rip open the .apk and just make the framework allllll black.
a few things to keep in mind:
-you would have to memorize where to touch the screen to unlock your phone
-a cop could get lucky and swipe the right spot on the screen
-if you have LED backlit buttons on your phone, they could still light up when the screen is locked, indicating to the officer that the phone is in fact on
let me know what you guys think of this

How about just a swipe to lock? I too hate constantly unlocking my phone but if I could just lock it at the lock screen then this would most likely trigger the need for a warrant to access my phone by law enforcement.
Not that I am a criminal but I hate the idea that law enforcement can do whatever they want with your data if it is on your person.
Just a thought, could the swipe to silence the phone be redirected to lock it instead?

Yea, I wasn't too happy with the setup, but... I only found out about the brightness thing after testing it out on a i9000 too. Tried a more automated approach, but doesn't produce the same results as regular presses. I'll upgrade the setup process when I find a better solution.
Thanks for the logs, I tried reproducing the problem, but didn't get a force close, but I think I might know what the problem might be.
Will get to work on that.
lol the font looks really really cute.

I'm still not able to reproduce the forceclose, but thanks to the logs, I believe I fixed the problem. One of them was leftover code I missed removing which strangely wasn't causing me any problems.
The other... should be fixed.
You'll see an update soon.

And could you add a "disable stock lockscreen" feature?? It would be highly appreciated

I'm currently fixing up the call lock right now.
There wasn't a disable stock lockscreen feature because it was supposed to disable the stock lockscreen automatically. However, that only seems to be working on the phones I'm testing on and strangely, the phones I can test on won't show the stock lockscreen, but some others does.
I'll be doing some more work into this part.

Update
New update out. Fixed up the calling. Now, the incoming call and incall screens won't be locked up. After call, it will lock back up. This works if you press the power button to turn off too.
New Feature. Find it in experimental setting. New feature affects the screen time out. Now, if you want, the Screen Timeout will lock with Void Lock instead of turning off the screen. Good feature for those like me who uses the WakeLock and avoids using the power button.

I forgot to disable my other lock screen and now seem to be locked out of my phone. Evo 4g with decks rom. any suggestions?

Great dev! can't wait for it to work completely on ICS

Couple of issues
evo 3d: when going to uninstall the uninstall screen flashes like crazy, buttons are highlighted (force stop, clear data, move to sd, uninstall) and blinking, takes several taps before you can get it uninstalled.
evo 4g: also when uninstalling it flashes, sometimes you have to clear data, move to SD card, then uninstall
it's one of the oddest things I've ever seen... and no, I'm not the one who left the nasty market comments.

Wow! that's also one of the oddest things I've heard about.
But, I can't imagine why it would happen. None of my code goes beyond the lockscreen and shouldn't affect the uninstalling at all. I just did an uninstall on my phone, tablet, and old phones to see if I get the same issue, but it was able to be uninstalled properly.
The only uninstall issue I know of is that the app is granted Device Admin status after the first time you press the Void Lock app, but that will only give you an Uninstall is not Successful message instead of the issues you are having.
Also odd that it happened to both of your phones.
I can't seem to think of why that uninstalling problem happened and I'm 100% positive that none of the code for Void Lock will affect the uninstalling. But if all that flashing and etc happens only when you are uninstalling Void Lock then Void Lock should definitely be the culprit. Its so strange...
Hmm, could it be related to your rom?
I also never had to clear data or move to SD card to uninstall it. Just disable device admin in the phone's Security Settings and then uninstall it and it'll work properly.
I'm not too worried about the market comments. I guess I expect it because of all the incompatibility issues I have not been able to predict when I released it. Yet, it does work for a lot of phones so I wouldn't even know which phones to restrict. All the problems seems to be coming from manufacturers making changes to the default lockscreen. Still working on fixing all of that right now.
I am a bit upset at those nasty market comments that rates low because of not being able to uninstall. I did give instructions in the market description. I guess I'll need add a new tab in the Settings to describe how to uninstall.

nice lockscreen.

Downloads
Version 1.3: http://bit.ly/2oDv77H (Please uninstall the previous version first)
All features of the app are available for free, without any ads. (The in-app purchase inside the app will not work as the app has been removed from play store)
Please do not mirror without permission. Link to this thread or play store page if you want to share this app elsewhere. So that users will know where to check for updates and get support from.
Please note: Hopefully it won't come to this, but just in case, to uninstall the app, you'll have to deactivate device admin permission first (Settings -> Security -> Device Admin -> Easy Lock).[/SIZE]

Permissions explained
Admin permission is required to turn of the screen and put the phone to sleep
Lollipop smart lock is not supported by Device Admin. It's an Android system limitation. However, smart lock is supported by Easy Lock if you have root access. If you see a prompt for root access, this is what that's for.
Draw over other apps permission is required to detect double taps.
App Usage Statistics (in Lollipop and above) is required if you enable the option 'Try to avoid soft key presses'. This permission will be requested only if you enable this option.

Update v1.1
Added option to avoid lock screen touches
Minor bug fixes
Update is currently rolling out in Google Play.

Update to Easy Lock
v1.3
- Fixed a bug which causes the app to request admin permissions even when it was already granted.
Update is available in Google Play Store.
I had added an option to enable double-tap anywhere to lock the screen. I'm sure it'll be a nuisance for most people, since it'll get activated while typing, double tap to zoom photos etc, but there were some requests for it. However, that update was rejected by Play Store. Hence I've disabled that feature in the play store version of the app. If anyone is interested in the above mentioned feature, I can upload an apk having double tap anywhere to lock functionality.

Not available in Google play, can u please give me the download link, i love this app

Unfortunately the app has been removed from the Play Store because it interacts too much with System UI. I'll upload the apk here by tomorrow.

Amazing work!
I've traditionally always rooted my android devices, but with marshmallow I'm trying to keep them stock for the security/stability benefits. My new Huawei Honor 8 didn't have a double tap to sleep feature built in, and with no root I couldn't use gravitybox to get it. I also couldn't find anything satisfactory in the app store, as I just wanted something that would make the device sleep, but not wake up (my phone wakes up by itself as soon as you touch the fingerprint scanner). The V1.2 of this app works perfectly! I lowered the double tap to 150ms, which seems to be about as fast as I can comfortably double tap the status bar/nav bar, but is faster than I would normally mash the back button, removing the need for ignoring the nav buttons. Plus it seems to take no more than 40mb of ram, with it averaging more about 25mb, which is great. Luckily for me, Huawei's EMUI implementation of android prevents your app from interfering with the fingerprint scanner, even without root. I tested your app on my galaxy tab s2 (also running android 6.0.1) and as expected, using it to sleep the device interfered with the fingerprint scanner, but not so on this great little Huawei device (I just had it on my tablet for testing, it already turns itself on/off with its flip cover). I can understand why Google removed it from the play store (at anything over 250ms it's easily to accidentally trigger with the back button) but I'm glad I found it. I've never actually had a button wear out or break on me because I upgrade phones too often, but it still feels nice to be able to turn my phone on and off without any buttons. Great work!
Edit: it's really too bad that the donate button doesn't work. Do you have any other apps in the play store that I could buy/donate to support you?

Wow, thanks for the app! Working great on my S7 edge (unrooted).

Just tried it on my pixel xl works great but the only gripe I have is that when it locks the phone I can't use my fingerprint reader to open it after which is making me not use it anymore because it's so much faster to use the fingerprint scanner. If that's fixed I'll definitely be using it.
Thanks

@aravindsagar Hi, I have the same problem on my Z5 Compact. When I double tap the status bar, the phone locks.
But when I wake it up, if I use my fingerprint to unlock, I also have my patern (or pin, or password, whatever security is set) → Double security instead of one.
I only encounter this issue while using your app. If Easy Lock is disabled, I can unlock my phone just with my fingerprint.
Is their a way to fix this issue? (or an alternative to double tap status bar to lock?)
Thanks

same problem, any way to fix this issue?

Bump on this. Love it but need to be able to unlock with fingerprint sensor.
Other apps get around this by simply turning the screen off. Works great with amoled. Not sure how easy that is to implement.

I would donate for this if it would implement the method to lock the screen with root instead of using Admin (so, as mentioned in previous posts above, I could use the fingerprint reader to unlock afterwards). The shell command "input keyevent 26" does this as long as it's done with superuser access. I have a QuickTile through the Automate script app do exactly that currently, but I'd prefer to be able to double-tap the status bar instead of using a prime Quick Tile space.

This is horrible and will never replace the custom ROM feature. I can't use my fingerprint and I can't even enter my password without it locking again. It also locks when I double tap a softkey (even with the option to prevent against it).

If use device administrator, open lock cant using fingerprint, btw good app.. i search tap to sleep app that can using fingerprint to wake/unlock..

Arrow launcher has this. Always work.
Trying the Lawnchair (Pixel) launcher which lacks this feature. Only works on status bar. Users of this launcher want this!
(All permissions set up. MIUI device.)

Just a note, Arrow launcher has double tap anywhere to sleep, not double tap status bar, and it also has to be set to be a device Admin, so again the fingerprint reader is rendered useless. Not knocking Arrow Launcher, just wanted to specify in case others with fingerprint readers are tempted to try it for this purpose.

Is any option double tap to wake the device ?

[APP] SideSqueeze 2.08 - add squeeze gestures to your S10+!

What is SideSqueeze?
SideSqueeze is an innovative and unique app that uses the barometric pressure sensor in your device to detect squeezes and screen presses. It is compatible only with Samsung Galaxy devices from 2017 onwards, although some people have reported varying degrees of success with Pixel devices.
What It Does
SideSqueeze gives your S8/S9/S10 series Galaxy the ability to respond to squeezes, double squeezes, triple squeezes, quadruple squeezes, long squeezes, and/or inertial squeezes, as well as force presses on the screen. For example, you can double squeeze your phone to activate Google Assistant...or maybe you'd like to quadruple squeeze to toggle auto-rotation. And now with Tasker integration, you can even create elaborate tasks to do just about anything and trigger them with any type of squeeze! SideSqueeze's new modular GUI allows you to pick and choose what you want to do with ease.
Features (not all available in trial version)
7 detectable squeeze types (single, double, triple, quadruple, long, long double-squeeze, and inertial)
3 detectable press types (single, long, and 2-finger)
Independently selectable criteria allow you to assign multiple actions to any trigger type (if lockscreen open, if homescreen open, if camera open, if S-Pen detached, if within 5-seconds of power on, if the phone is ringing, if in-call, or if screen is off)
New app picker to launch any app of your choosing
Tasker integration to launch any task of your choosing
Quick Settings tile to toggle detection engine
Wide selection of common actions, such as flashlight toggling, status bar toggling, etc
Adjustable pressure thresholds
Calibration assistant to customize SideSqueeze to your device's unique characteristics
Efficient detection algorithm that is designed to be as lightweight and low-power as possible with no significant impact on battery life
Questions?
See the in-app Help section for answers to commonly asked questions.
Where do I get it?
SideSqueeze 2 is now available on the Play store!

I like the concept of the app but I tried it and it is very difficult to use coming from a pixel device. I set up custom squeeze pressures but it won't work properly. A squeeze will usually engage what I want but if I move phone around or sit it down it will also do the squeeze action. Good idea but going to be tough to do properly i feel!

Thank you for your feedback. Have you calibrated it? What are your gain and release threshold set to? What sensitivity level are you using?

I did it kept saying try again and changed values, said like 50 try again then 100 then -10 and kept saying try again. It was really odd

Same here.... S10+..... Seems difficult to get out of the calibration stage. Then, sometimes the squeeze works and sometimes it does not. I also see calibration messages after exiting the app.
Interestingly, the squeeze command seems to always work when in the app.
When I retried to calibrate with a squeeze command already set, the command activated and the assigned app launched.
Will try to play with it again later.

Now I am getting a notification that side squeeze is running. However, I have had it disabled in the app!

This is really weird, and no one has ever reported behavior like this. I can't seem to reproduce it. Was there any step that stood out in your mind? Did you do anything unusual? Do you remember roughly what the message said? There are only a few it could have been, any words or phrases you remember from it? Thanks!
The time you tried to calibrate with a command set, did you remember if you tapped the "Start" button at the bottom first?

Is it possible you have the press detection module on? The engine stays running unless both are disabled. Open the left fly-out menu and go to Screen Presses and make sure that is off, too.

Unfortunately, I don't recall the text of the toast message. Yes, I clicked on the start button to calibrate. As far as I know, I did nothing unusual. Press screen was turned off.
I just now opened the app, made sure that both screen pressure and squeeze were not enabled. After exiting the app, there is a notification that sidesqueeze is running.
Also, there is an issue with the discord server. I have to open the sidesqueeze app and click on the discord link to open it. I accept the invite. 5 minutes later, the server disappears from the discord app. When I tried to join again thru the discord app, it states that the invite has expired. This is repeatable.

I got working a little bit, took literally 5 mins to setup though. It's hit or miss now though works maybe 50% of the time and still sometimes randomly

I deleted cache and data. I installed the new test version you sent. It seems to be much more stable and working as it should. I will give it more time to see if all remains well.
Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

This is new and useful for S10+! Nice app my man! Thanks!

After using the new build a bit more, a couple of observations. First, the action set for one squeeze, sometimes activates without me squeezing the phone. Secondly, with sidesqueeze activated and the press actions definitely switched off, I can no longer double tap to wake my s10+. As soon as I deactivate sideswitch, double tap to wake is restored.

Also, unfortunately, the notification that sidesqueeze is running even when neither squeeze or press is enabled, is back...... This after the playstore update to version 201.

I have no idea about the double tap thing, I'll have to look into it. As for the notification, when does it come back?

The double tap may have had something to do with the aod..... The notification returned after I rebooted the phone.

Oh ok, that's actually fixed in the last minute update I pushed out moments after 2.01. It should be rolling out to you any minute now.

I have been noticing that if I set the squeeze strength to custom rather than to soft or medium for example, sidesqueeze resets itself to medium.

Thanks for the feedback, as always. Can you reproduce this? When does it happen? Like, does it only reset when the app opens? What were you doing before it reset? Is 'Firm' affected, too?

Can't pinpoint any specific event or time. Haven't used firm at all. Also noticing that sometimes it seems overly sensitive and other times it won't respond at all. I will try to notice when these things occur.
