Database Develop

Screen Timeout \ Sceern Lock window.

Hi ALL,
I know this is Galaxy S I9003 Android Development but since we do not have saperate Section I am posting here.
I have Two issues
1. I have selected "None" for Screen lock in Settings-> Location and Security. still i see this ( <<<<<xxxxxx>>>>> ) type of screen lock some time after time out. I want to remove this. My phone is rooted and on XXKB33.
2. I usally set Screen Time out at 15 Seconds. It automatically goes to 1 Minute.. What can be the issue.? I use LockMenu Where i have set time out as 15 secs.
can anyone pls help me resolving these?
thanks

For the first issue the only way to change the lockscreen to default android lockscreen is to modify system files... look at my other post with vanilla lockscreen.....

Here you can not deactivate the screen lock. You can only change security settings like password, PIN or pattern lock. If you select none, you will not be asked to input any of those after sliding the screen to open it. But lock screen will still be there.

lockscreen wallpaper
hi! i'm new. i just want to ask, how do i even activate my lock screen? rephrasing that, do i even need to activate my lockscreen for samsung i9003?
i constantly use a picture for my lockscreen wallpaper but then nothing shows up when my screen locks. it's just pitch black. do i need a widget for this?

The responsability of screen lock is android.policy.jar and framework-res.apk... maybe try to restore again that files... one question... have you tried app from market that enable lock screen like: screen off and lock? (I'm not sure about the correct name). Another question.... but the lock-unlock button works?

Disappearing menu

Question guys :
For a while now on jellybean I've had the problem where when I press on the menu overflow button in any app, the menu will pop up then disappear but it is still there. Then a few seconds later it'll become visible again.
Anyone else experience this? Maybe it's time for a full wipe and start over eh

I've had this problem when using full_screan_toggle+LMT.
I just activate the LMT and the menu appears. how to fight - I do not know

I had this issue when I wanted to share images by pressing share button. It will appear again in a while. You just have to press it repeatedly. I don't know if it's a JB bug or not. I don't have this issue on my Droid 4. But it uses custom ROM JB 4.2.1.

It's not a JB problem I'm sure because I ran JB on my inspire 4g without this problem... I think it's a bug with this atrix hd JB rom. Motorola did a poor job with it... lots of little bugs!

Yeah where u get that

Search xda for full screen toggle app

You have to have a menu replacement like lmt setup. Then toggle it to no navbar and reboot. I've never had a fc.

I see now i got the same issue but i think is because of the full screen toggle

Yea ours does it too there are a couple different guides out there just look for them you will find them

I don't know about the Active, but on the regular S4 the LED light from the "hold volume up button" is noticeably dimmer than when you activate it with apps. I'm using the Notification Toggle app from the Play Store to put the LED toggle in the notification panel. It's nearly as convenient as using the volume button and it's brighter without any risk of accidental activation in your pocket.

Yea it does have that option, just not the volume up with the screen off. You have to hold the brightness slider icon in the notification panel to activate it.

Not to be a bother, but I notice it works on some peoples phones and not others. Is there a special thing that needs to be done to get the vol-up for torch working? I know how to get to the secret settings, and they're set for me. It doesn't light up for me . Any advice?
Edit:
I'm running stock rooted with Xposed and Nottach Xposed

Use power toggles from playstore. The best

NottachXposed has both of those options. The volume up function is in the Lockscreen settings. You actually don't need Nottach to access it. It's just a convenient shortcut.

I think you need a deodexed ROM. Didn't work for me until I flashed the Mint Jelly ROM (which I recommend :good.

Alright, i'll give that a try. Not opposed to flashing roms, especially if they remove all this Samsung + ATT bloatware Thanks for your help.

Just an update.
I'm not sure if it was having a deodex rom, or just simply being on Android 4.2.2 (Might be the case). But my light is working now with screen off!
EDIT:
One more thing. Enabling this setting will create a wakelock that'll keep your phone at the lowest mhz you set it to instead of letting it go into deep sleep. It's a nice setting, but at the battery cost... it's something that isn't good enough for me yet. I have a profile setup in tasker for TelsaLED on with a shake on the locked homescreen to try my best and mimic this functionality (I was looking for something that starts up at boot, and flips the LED on from lockscreen). I know there's another flashlight that does this as well, but I ran into the problem of it not booting on startup, where as I use Tasker for other functionality so it starts up 100% of the time. It's not 100% since the LED takes a little to flip on... but it's better than having to unlock.
JUST an FYI to save people the feeling of underwhelming when it starts sapping your battery mercilessly!

thats absolutly not true, i use the feature on nottachs xposed app and my phone goes into DEEP SLEEP using ktz kernel,and there is another mod that u can use called 3 minit but you need framework but that has torch when the lock screen is on by pressing the home button,but i found i would have the light on by accident ,idk how but it would jsut be on with that mod.

3 minit work pretty well you can set it to long press home
Try flashlight led genius from playstore , no root need , you shake it when your on the lockscreen,awesome app

No need for framework changes or xposed

I'm going to stick with what I think then. After I flip on the light.. it never goes back into deep sleep. Try it yourself. I'll take a look at 3 minit
FYI the wakelock it made was PhoneWindowManager.mTorchlightWakeLock

This is a feature in CM10.1. You can add it under lock screen options for long press home button. Absolutely love it.

I think your Android version needs to be 4.2.2 to do the torchlight thing through Nova. I could be wrong though.

Ok another update on this.
Since djmouse wasnt getting any sort of wakelock, I decided to try again getting it working. I enabled it through xposed instead of the nova shortcut.... and for some reason it's letting me go to deep sleep now! ... I also flashed crossbreeder... so that might be the savior. Not sure, but happy to report the wakelock seems to be lifted. I'll report back after a few days if it stays that way.
THanks djmouse for challenging me to try it again!

Using an app called Torchie, just press both 'volume buttons' together to turn on/off torch anytime. It runs as a background service and just works anytime, even when screen off (if enabled from Torchie Settings). It kinda make your phone feel like a conventional battery operated torch. No root required.

[SHARE][APP]Proximity Screen Off

Hai guys nothing new here,i thought of sharing an app i found in the play store.. my mini's power button is almost dead, and i couldn't either turn on or turn off the screen using the power key. Then i found this incredible app called "Proximity Screen Off"
What it does?
-> It turn on/off screen with gestures :good:
How it works?
-> it make use of the proximity sensor. There are lot of gestures to select from,swipe once,swipe and hold and so on.
Both Lite and Pro versions are available in the market,give it a try :good:
Note:It drains battery very quickly but with right settings it doesn't drain you battery
Link to the lite version:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.itsme4ucz.screenoff

its better if u use an app like power toggle or screen-off..they use accessibility permissions and 100% better than sensor based apps since they dont drain battery by taking any sort of wakelock..
just saying

But is it possible to wake up the screen by using power toggle/screen off? My mini is 2 and half years old,and almost all the buttons are dead by now.so i cant wake up the device by pressing the home key. Thats one of the reason i am using this app. Can you suggest me any other app which can wake up the device without using any buttons?

sweep2wake is another such option for..but it needs kernel support and luckily, alin's kernel will have that feature
and apart from that there is magic on off, and gravity screen pro

[Q] A way for Home button to turn on screen but not go home?

i have found a bug that is really annoying
i found it on sami os and light jb v 1.2
when the screen is on i leave it untill it goes off and just when it goes off i press home button
it's assumed that the screen goes on only no thing else
But what really happens that the screen goes on and the phone goes to home screen
and i should go to the app to the second time to open it again

For me apps stays on like you told it should. With Nova louncher (but it should not be matter). Did you change deepsleep in kernel? Maybe that kills an app.

sorry but i don't know what is deepsleep @shut_down

@shut_down
firrst i don't know how to change what is called deepsleep
seconde i don't think that there is a relationship between this problem and kernel because it wasn't there on harsh jelly using the same kernel

Sorry, I read too fast. I am not on light jb - missed that part. Maybe it has something to do with ROM, to have option to kill all apps on locking screen or something like that.

do you mean to disable shortcuts on lockscreen or what?

No. Maybe there is some mod in rom that kills all apps when you lock screen. And app is killed.
