[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

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

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.

Also is there any way to stop the vibration when you unlock? It's gonna take a while to get used to unlocking...

Nice app, need translation?!

Nice app.
I found the setup a bit confusing, but i don't really know how it could be made better.
After trying it i got some FCs:
I was using the unlock feature.

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.

Had to use No Lock app, to disable normal lock screen, then set the VOID, work great!

Nice work there....but i have one problem tough....during calls the phone gets locked itself and i have to unlock it again to hang up and stuff
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.

[Q] Which custom rom is right for me?

Okay this is going to be the first time I'll use a custom rom so my priority is to get a fully stable and bug-free experience just like the stock rom. So I am only looking for 4.1.2 rom and not 4.2 rom. So these are the features that I am looking for.
1. Power toggles and brightness notification slider.
2. Separate call and notification volume.
3. The camera should be 100% like stock.
4. Long press back key to kill an app.
5. The look should be just like stock and not the black look which I see in many ROM's screenshots.
6. All the stock google apps.
Thats about it for what I am looking for, there are a couple more things I would like to have but they are not necessary.
1. Facebook contact sync(but no point without high res pics).
2. Built-in sound profiles.
Thanks in advance I am waiting to try my first custom rom.

I haven't seen many roms with built in sound profiles. Most, if not all roms with sound profiles, are based of the CM10 profiles.

CyanogenMod 10 stable is the best for you!

The camera isn't stock though I believe (slightly modded). But why do you need a stock camera?

What I really mean is that I want 100% working camera like I have heard camera does not work properly in alot of custom roms on android phones. I wont mind the camera having extra features.
So it seems like CM10 it is then.
Nandroid backup made, will do titanium later and then I am all set. :good:

I was not aware of that. I believe most current roms 4.1.2 if not all roms have a working camera, including CM10.

Its actually just what generally I have seen with android phones not the nexus S. I suppose the problem has to do with ported roms but since the nexus S has official 4.1.2 so it should not have a problem with the camera.

Definitely cm10, but if you sometimes get bored and want to switch things up a little...
DEFINITELY try paranoid android! If you don't like it remember to nandroid backup in recovery so you can get back to stock easy :thumbup:
Edit: paranoid android is also based of cm10!

I would say rasbeanjelly from rascarlo. You have flashable zip to revert to stock theme from black one.

So far very smooth and no problems. There are just a couple of things I wish it had.
There is no brightness notification slider, is there any mod for it?
I also wish that the profiles had widgets and/or a notification icon to quickly know which profile is running without pressing the power button. The method of changing a profile also needs far too many taps. But anyways the notification and call volume can be unlinked so thats all I really needed. And I must say the profile software is the most advanced I have ever seen, you can silent individual apps which I hadnt seen before. :good:
Overall its just such a well thought out ROM I am loving it.
Btw is it okay that I didnt wipe everything on the SD card? I just factory reset through CWM and it didnt wipe the media and backups in the SD card.
Thanks everyone as always the community rocks. :good:

There's no apparent brightness slider but there's the secret brightness slider! Make sure auto brightness is off then go to Settings > System> Status bar > and check Backlight.
Exit, then when you're on the main screen, press on the top left of your status bar, don't drag down to bring the notification, simply slide left or right. Magic, brightness gets adjusted.

Okay this is cool. I can simply long press on the top right corner and the brightness goes full. If I press on the top left then it goes zero, if I press in the middle its around 50 dont even need to slide.
However I still dont like it more than the slider because there is no confirmation of how much the brightness actually is. Maybe I'll get used to it thanks for the tip there are so many options here I missed this one.

I know your feeling, but once you stop caring at what the numbers are, you'll live a better life.
That's a bit similar to the battery percentage. Is there enough battery? Yeah? Then you're good to go. There's not enough? Charge. Simple!

My mobile signal/radio isn't working anymore!
- There's a bug with TWRP that remove/corrupt your baseband during flash. Please refer to the twrp team for a fix.
-Verify your kernels because this rom does not affect DATA/WIFI/VOLUME
Why Smart Radio keeps shutting down itself?
- To avoid loops, using the LTE or 2G3G toggle will deactivate Smart Radio.
I get error when flashing Cataclysm
- First make sure to compare the md5 against the one on the file hosting site. http://onlinemd5.com/
- If it matches consider some users are reporting issues with TWRP. Refer to the twrp team for a fix.
Can't select AM/PM clock style
- You can't select it if you're using the 24Hour clock format.

Vibration on call pickup/hangup doesn't work
- It works for remote pickup/hangup, you already should know when picking or hanging up a call yourself.
Hot reboot toggle doesn't work
- For security reasons it works only on longpress.

Smart Radio disconnect me on switch, it also takes seconds to reconnect
- It's normal to get disconnected when you switch radio
- Also switch is handled by the radio itself, can't make it better nor faster.
Fast Charge toggle doesn't work
- Fast Charge toggle needs a compatible custom kernel.
- Also you can't toggle it while already connected.
GPS toggle isn't working

Nice job, hopefully a link to this is added to the front page of the Cata thread. Although it's not strictly ROM-related per se, it wouldn't hurt to add a question/answer related to the dalvik patch. Something that would qualify as being 'frequently asked' in the thread.

Thank you. I rather the dev work on the actual rom than to sort through tens of pages full of repeated questions.

Immersive mode takes the cake, it's a very nice rom but I've flashed cataclysm twice now and neither the home button or the quick toggles from the pull down menu work.

I had the same problem. I googled around and found this:
androidpolice(dot)com/2013/11/25/bug-watch-nexus-4-kitkat-ota-krt16s-causing-bizarre-home-button-and-quick-settings-issues/
Run this in ADB after you do a clean flash
Code:
adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity
Worked for me, hope this helps!

Cataclysm - Waiting for Location
Having quite a bit of trouble with determining My Location with this rom. Most notably with Google Maps as that is what I use day-to-day. Unless I'm not using location services to determine my location, I'll be stuck with "Waiting for Location".
I've enabled Data Roaming and tried various other setting tweaks to fix, but nothing has worked.
Using Baseband/Radio M8974A, However, I've flashed a previous (my working original while I was on stock rom) version and it still didn't work.
I've seen this mentioned ONCE in the release/development thread, but no confirmation whether the issue was fixed. I would guess so since it wasn't mentioned again. However, I'm having a hard time thinking this is an isolated incident.
Would it be possible to help me troubleshoot or forward a fix?
Edit:
Kernel: Franco r32
Please note, this has only started happening since I installed Cataclysm and I've been dealing with the issue for almost a month now (since I've installed the rom)
Also, this happens under any of the various settings:
Radio: ON, WIFI: ON
Radio: OFF, WIFI: ON
Radio: ON, WIFI: OFF
Location Modes:
High Accuracy
Battery Saving
Device Only

I haven't seen anyone really talk about that issue, so that's pretty weird. OK first can you make a nandroid backup and try flashing cataclysm completely stock with the stock kernel? Don't bother installing apps since we're just going to test the gps. It might be a kernel issue but i've been keeping up with francos thread and not much talk has been around the gps signal. Try not using smart radio at all with the clean flash. If the issue occurs in complete stock cataclysm then we have to verify that the rom you have matches the md5 of the download site. You can check this by searching onlinemd5 on Google. If it matches then you're going to have to try and see if the gps issue occurs on the stock google rom. There have been instances of people having issues with cellular reception and gps signal on their phones and it was proven to be a hardware issue.

Ok, since the official thread is way out of hand, we might as well start using this one so, first of all, thank you @FuMMoD for it.

I think I found a bug. Could you test something for me? Sometimes I call people so they reject the call in order to call me (to be free). Every time I call someone and they reject, I stay on the phone app until I get the call back. When I get it, I can only hear it ringing but no incoming call screen shows. In order to pickup, I need to turn the screen off and on again. Could you please test this and tell me if it's only on my side?
Also, sorry if this has already been discussed.

I tried to reproduce it a bit ago but I did not get any issues. Tried doing it to two separate numbers within a half hour window and nothing out of the ordinary. Did you do a clean flash before flashing cataclysm?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Thanks for testing it out!
Yes, I did. Cataclysm was actually the first ROM on my phone and still is after a month now. I only booted on stock once after unlocking the bootloader and flashed Cataclysm right away.
Just to be sure about what you did:
1. Call someone;
2. Someone rejects the call;
3. Make sure you're still on the phone app when that person calls you back;
4. See if the incoming call screen shows when the other person calls.
With me, I can only hear it ringing and feel it vibrating but the incoming call screen only shows after I turn the screen off and back on again.
Was that it? Sorry but I'm just making sure.. Will hate to troubleshoot if the issue is on my side :/

[APP][4.1+] Powy - Use different shortcuts/Tasker Tasks through your power button

Powy
Powy gives you access to handy shortcuts through the power button. To trigger a shortcut you simply have to press the power button N times (you define how many times) and then the shortcut is triggered.
Powy provides the following shortcuts that you can use:
Hear the current time
Turn on or off your flashlight / torch / LED
Open camera app
Record audio
All of the shortcuts listed above work even if screen is off and/or device is locked. Does not have to be open or in recent apps to work.
You can enable only the shortcuts you want to be usable. You can configure shortcuts key combinations per shortcut. And you can start or stop Powy at any time.
Download
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.danilomendes.powy
How to use?
Start Powy by pressing the button in the main screen of the app. Now to trigger the shortcut you want simply press the number of times configured in that shortcut (listed in the main screen).
Story behind Powy
Initially I've developed Powy only for my own needs, the initial purpose of Powy was to simply tell me the current time when I was using headphones, because I use headphones a lot and I'm kind of obsessed with time and I hated to have to take my phone out of my pocket to see what time it was. I developed a quick draft for myself and then now I figured that the app might be helpful to other people.
How it works - Technical description
Since we cannot actually listen to power button key events on background, Powy actually listens to screen on/off events and then after 0.714 seconds, after the last pressed key (maximum of 1.5 seconds), Powy sees if the total number of screen on and off's matches a shortcut and triggers it.
Permissions
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED - For the app to start running upon boot. This can be turned of whether or not you have Android 6+. You can turn it off on the Preferences section within the app.
CAMERA - *Only for Android versions below 6* This is simply used to use the flashlight.
WAKE_LOCK - Only used for the camera shortcut when it's triggered with the screen off. Powy does not keeps the wake lock for more than 100 ms after the camera shortcut is triggered.
FLASHLIGHT - For the flashlight.
RECORD_AUDIO - To record audio only when the record audio shortcut is triggered.
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - Powy only uses this to write the recorded audio to the sdcard.
VIBRATE - Only to vibrate when record audio is triggered.
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE & INTERNET - These two permissions are used by admob.
Try it and tell me what you think
I'm available to respond through this forum or through here.
Cumps,
Danilo Mendes

Whenever I try to get the >2 actions to run, I usually fail and it always just reads me the time. Maybe the 0.5s threshold is too low?

Hi thank you for replying.
I wrote the incorrect value, the threshold is actually 0.714 seconds. But in any case, try not to press the power button too quickly.
I think if it recognizes two screen on/off's it means it can capture more than that, meaning that the threshold is probably enough, but maybe the maximum time of 1.5 seconds it has to joins presses might not be sufficient.
But try not to press the power button too quickly and tell me how it goes.
Cumps,

Doesn't run on op3t.. freedom os7.1.1

The only one that works for me is "Tell me the time" on a Pixel XL running 7.1.1. I would totally donate if I could use this to toggle my flashlight.

Hi,
I honestly haven't tested on freedomOS. Can you please give me more info on this? Does the app crashes? The shortcuts are not being triggered?
If the app does not crash try to press the power button calmly, because Powy actually depends on screen on/off events.
Keep me posted on this issue, thank you.

Hi, thank you for the feedback. Please note that Powy actually relies on screen on/off events. Try not to press the power button too quickly and confirm if the flashlight shortcut is ON (the switch is on).
Also, if you want, you can change the flashlight shortcut to 2 times power button . You just have to change the shortcut to '2 x Power button' simply by clicking on edit:

Thanks for the reply, I have tried both slow and fast power button presses, as well as waiting for the screen to turn off before initiating more presses. Like I said, "say the time" does work, so I know what the timing is supposed to be like.

@danilo.mendes Cool idea bro..
I guess the reason why users are facing problems is that the time taken to receive consecutive SCREEN_ON/OFF broadcasts vary for different devices..
Instead of hardcoding the threshold value, you can get the data from user itself..
While opening the app for first time, you can ask the users to consecutively press the power button for N times for calibration purpose (N is your wish).
While the user is doing that, you may record (in your Service) the threshold timings between the SCREEN_ON/OFF broadcasts and compute the average for N trials.
And finally set that as threshold value.
That way, you may get the app working for all devices..
Hope my words are clear

Hi, Yeah it seems like that's right. That's a really cool suggestion, thank you I'm going to use a mix of your suggestion, because I want to avoid complicating the setup for the first time users. So instead of asking the user, I'm thinking about calculating the threshold automatically for the first time then use those values by default. And also adding a preference for the user to configure the threshold and the max time.
I'll update the apk version asap with this changes. Again, thank you

Hi both, Thank you for the feedback Like GokulNC said, some devices seem to have more different times of screen off/on events than I expected.

Hi everyone,
Powy 1.0.2 released
Added:
Now the threshold and max time of key presses and shortcuts are configurable
Fixed crash caused by no TTS engine in some ROMs (e.g.: LG G5)
Added method to automatically find best threshold and max time when you use the first shortcut (only on clean installs)
Get it at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.danilomendes.powy
So now, hopefully, all issues should be resolved and the app becomes more flexible because you can configure the settings for each device and to your needs.
Tell me what you think about this new release and rate as you think it's fit
Thank you all for the feedback it was really helpful.

Hi guys,
Just wanted you to know that Powy now allows you to use Tasker Tasks through the power button. This is now available on version 1.1.0. I think that now by using Powy combined with Tasker you have a lot of flexibility customizing shortcuts on your power button.
For example, now you can add a task on Tasker that turns WiFi on/off and then fire it using your power button through Powy.
Give it a try and tell me what you think
