Lock 2.0 Donate

I got the donate version (love it) but i have moved apps to sd card on my phone, and i have noticed this program, along with a few others need to be started when you restart your phone, is this the case if your apps are on the phone? Also is there a means to tell the g1 what apps i would like it to run on startup?

the new version gives u an option to run at start up

Doh!!! now i really feel like an idiot... I blame linux for my brain frying.
Thanks alot got it set now

i went ahead and got the donate version and i really love the app i just hate how it goes to sleep when i am only using touch. but the app is making my iphone friends so jealous

Lock 2.0 Problem
Well I got the lock 2.0 donate version. Whenever I run the app for it to download the default.zip file it says "the application lock 2.0 has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
But the free version runs fine..

Can not find the donate version in the market - Bulgaria/Europe

Runs fine on my G1
if you don't know what you doing or if u move file that u don't know what they do, don't come crying here asking for help + saying that the app don't work

I found a bug that i reported to the developer.
You can bypass the lock feature, click menu-set skin-back button.
Brings you to the homescreen not back to the lock screen

i liked the app, but asked for a refund becuz when lock2.0 was running, my notification sounds wouldn't work.
anyone else have this problem? i would get the LED notification, but no sound.

No he did not. I still get no sound wheter it's running or not. Hopefully I get it back when I uninstall.

this app worked fine until i turned on the option to have it open on startup. now my phone hangs on the android loading screen. it will not go past it. anyone else had this problem? i have tried to unistall via adb but couldnt figure out how to. any help would be great. thanks!

Grrrr... I uninstalled it, too unstable to be truly usefull. Restart the phone and you have to restart the program, I know you can set it to run at start-up but then it does not bypass that fugly "stock" locked screen. Notifications work on and off, made me miss so many emails....... I'll wait and see if dev can work all those bugs out, may be reinstall it in a month or so.

Weird, I don't have any problems with it. Yeah, when the phone restarts it goes back to the stock locked screen, but I simply enter my unlock pattern and done.

lock 2.0 notification problems
I've read in a few posts where people have notification problems, either no notificaton, or you cant pull down the notification screen etc. I had this problem too intermitantly, i played with it, and found a work around, hopefully help some others experiencing the same probs till the dev comes up with a fix. When you first boot your phone, if you have the proggy set to come on at startup, you have about 3 seconds, where it boots to your normal android start screen (half window, with time network information in it.) if you wait about 3 seconds, it will autolock into your lock 2.0 program. at this point your notifications are screwed, but if when it first boots to the normal android boot screen, and you hit the menu button, it will move to your desktop, and then autolock. You should be good to go at this point. everytime i press menu before it locks, i have 0 notification problems. Hope this helps some of you out there

Running Nexus one in "Kiosk mode"?

I'm looking to use the Nexus one hardware to create a single purpose device that will run an app at boot up and not allow the user to exit the app. This device will be given to users to take home for days so needs to be tamper-proof. i.e. cannot make calls, cannot SMS, cannot access rest of the OS, etc.
At the Android API level, I believe I can auto-start the app and "disable" the home button but cannot get around the long-press home button recent app list.
One possible solution would be to open it up and physically unplug the buttons' ribbon connector from the PCB.
What I would prefer is to somehow disable the home button using a cooked ROM that will ignore it in this particular app and the app can have some kind of secret way to exit. I do not know how difficult this would be using a rooted Nexus one.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

You would need to build it from source. (non winzip deving)
If any knowledgeable person get's it it would be pretty easy to boot into recovery and edit system files or wipe it.
The nexus would not be suitable for this because of the nature of the bootloader.

To be honest, I personally think you would be better off building your own device for this. I'm sure that the buttons could be disabled easily enough, but the tamper proof part is a little different.
Main reason:
If you make the device so that you can't boot into recovery, fastboot, or tamper with it in anyway. How would you yourself make any additional modifications to the device?

You guy have some good points.
Maybe it's better off just using rooted stock ROM and set it as home screen then physically disable the hardware buttons. The battery cover will be glued shut to prevent access to SIM and battery anyway
As for making changes to the app, I believe ADK will allow me to update the app through USB. I wonder if its feasible to do auto-update it over network...?

wow your trying to lock the device down sounds like steve jobs lol

would not the best approach to this is to write your app as a home replacement and not show any apps? you could disable access to app drawer and settings, then you would only need to hook/disable home long press.
You wont be able stop a savvy user from flashing something on it easily.

What about setting up a pattern lock and using FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED
to display on top of the lock? If the user tries to exit your program they'll be greeted with the pattern lock. Have some timer so your app automatically comes back to the top.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the last app list show NO apps if no apps were launched yet?

Yes you're right. I've set my app as home screen replacement and after reboot there wasn't any 'recent app' list
Looks like I don't need a custom ROM after all.

Just out of curiosity, what exactly are you doing with the phone that requires it to be tamper proof?

That's an interesting approach, I will have to explore that more.
How can users actually exit the app when it's over the lock screen? Does that mean all buttons including home will not do anything since lock screen is keyguarded? Does touch still register? Is this the workaround that the custom lock screen app uses?

[Script] WiFi Only (Great for devices no longer activated)

Thanks:
Scary Alien for helping with some of my brainstorms
CPCookieMan for pointing me in the right direction with my initial thoughts for this project
MongooseHelix for the idea of the script vs a flashable zip
This is a very simple script that utilizes the radiooptions command to disable the radio but still allow use of WiFi without having to use airplane mode. Great for people who just upgraded and want to use their older device for an mp3 player with WiFi access. I wanted to make it to be run in init.d on startup but haven't successfully got it working that way yet so for now it can be run with script manager. This script can be run as follows:
1. Download the script and place it somewhere on your SD Card. (Maybe make a folder named Scripts to keep things organized)
2. Download Script Manager from the market.
3. Open Script Manager and navigate to where you saved the script then select the script.
4. Check the options for run as root and if you always use wifi only because you don't have service on your device check off Run at boot as well.
5. When prompted by superuser allow superuser permissions.
I have tested this script on my Incredible and my Eris as well and should be universal to run on any android device.
Download Here
If you are using this on an inactive device and don't want the activation screen coming up after reboot and new ROM flash follow these simple steps.
*NOTE: you need to be using a ROM that has EPST.apk in it for this procedure to work.
1. Select emergency call and dial ##778.
2. Select edit and enter service password 000000.
3. Select NAM Settings.
4. Change Mobile Directory number to 0000000000 (Ten digits).
5. Change MIN1 to 0000000 (Seven digits).
6. Change Mobile Country Code to 000 (Three digits).
7. As you back out "Commit the Change".

cool! Will this work on any rom? I guess it should. This is just what I've been looking for. I'm getting a second dinc to test roms, this won't be on a line so this will be perfect. I haven't flashed scripts before (however it sounds easy enough) is it easy to disable it?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes. It will work on any rooted device and any ROM. Just run through Script Manager and if you want to disable it change the settings within Script Manager to disable run on boot then reboot. It's that easy.

cvbcbcmv said:
hey, will this work on a nexus one? I'm getting one for rom testing instead of a second incredible, so, same deal. I would think this would work, but will it?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes.. It should work on any rooted device running any ROM. If you want to double check to be certain you can check inside the ROM for /system/bin/radiooptions, then you will know for certain it should work. The script uses that to shut down the radio.

Cool, almost makes me wish I would have kept my Eris.

tether?
So can this allow us to tether the wi-fi only phone to our new network phone? the idea being to use the non-network phone to stream pandora, use google maps, etc?

There is a way to get past that using ##778. I don't remember without going through it exactly what in all to do but i have a link at home

Actually got through it by pressing activate and cancelling several times. It finally just bypassed it. Thanks for the script, working perfectly.

Doing that will work but next reboot you'll probably get the activation screen again. If not you'll get it again after another ROM flash but it will come back at some point. I think I noticed on my Eris it was after a reboot. This procedure below got rid of it permanently.
1. Select emergency call and dial ##778.
2. Select edit and enter service password 000000.
3. Select NAM Settings.
4. Change Mobile Directory number to 0000000000 (Ten digits).
5. Change MIN1 to 0000000 (Seven digits).
6. Change Mobile Country Code to 000 (Three digits).
7. As you back out "Commit the Change".
Then you shouldn't be prompted to activate again even after a new ROM is flashed

Just to be sure, is this reversible? Say if I needed to reactivate the the phone?

Absolutely. Simply open script manager and disable run on boot. You can then remove the script from your SD card.

Good point . No they won't. Dial *228 option 1. It will ask for the phone number you want to activate and that stuff will be done ota. That's how I activated my Eris with a different number as well. I would suggest making sure to do that from a stock or stock based ROM as well.

That is also an option to this script. Not everyone likes the airplane mode method for one reason or another though so this is an alternative for those people.
You're English isnt bad. I've seen natives with much worse and wouldn't have known you weren't

I have the HTC Evo View 4G that I did this too, but for some reason when I ran the script I got the signal bar with an x through it saying "looking for service". Isn't it when it looks for service it's draining the battery more? Isn't there anyway to completly remove the signal bars?
Also, I'm trying to remove the activation upon startup, but the View doesn't have a phone to it. is there any other way to disable the activation throuhg the registry or something?

It shouldn't be searching for service with the script running. Do you have the radiooptions command in system/bin? Apparently there are some roms around that do not.

Enable tethering blindly

My SGN display was broken including the LCD, hence i'm not able to see anything. I'd like to access and control the device from my PC, what is the best app for this?
My main goal right now is to enable tethering. The touch still works, so i'm confident it can be done.
In the interim, could someone take screenshots of each step from the home screen to enable tethering and post them for me?
I'm going to try and enable it blindly.
Thanks in advance.
The device is a N7000 running stock ICS.

I had a similar problem...

I won't say it's easy but if you are on a Samsung based ROM you might have a chance. (Obviously you'll need to buy a MHL cable though.)
Alternatively, if you've got USB Debugging turned on then you might be able to use Droid Explorer which includes a remote control add-on.

Yes, mhl cable +hdmi is the best chance

Hit approx 1cm above menu button (You're now in Settings)
Hit roughly the middle of the screen (on the left hand side - its just easier on the side) "More"
Hit approximately 1cm down from the middle of the screen - "Tethering....."
Press approximately 1 inch down from the Samsung logo.. - "USB Tethering"
Good luck...

Assuming you have swipe to Unlock
Just lock the screen with the power button - Press power button again then;
Swipe anywhere to unlock
and then press the Menu key..
The Settings option is about 1 cm or so above the Menu key

Lol, i just figured out what the menu key is. I must admit it wasn't a key i used alot.
Something else i just found out, the bottom 1/4 of the screen, touch doesn't work.
I'm starting to lose hope of getting this done.
Could you swipe down from the top of the screen to open the notification screen, there is a settings link there, thats where i'm use to getting to the settings from. I think with a screen shot of that i'll be able to get it done.

Got it done. Found a pic on the internet of the screen i was talking about. Would still like a proper pic. :good:

Any chance you have AirDroid installed? It has a live view (screenshot) in pc browser ability built in, it can help if you don't have an MHL adapter.
If not, force an install from accessing play store from pc.

[SOLVED] Anyone Know How...

Okay, so I want to be able to do a couple of things. The first is nagging me, as I'm sure there's a way to do it, the second I'm not so sure about.
1) I want to be able to access the multi-tasking/Recent Apps list from anywhere. My idea is to push and hold Menu to get it to pop up, since Home uses Google Now when it's pushed and held. I know there was a way to do that with the search key back when we had 4 keys using LaunchKey, but I can't find anything to let me assign push/hold functionality to Menu. I'm rooted, so I'm sure there's a way to do this...
2) This I'm not so sure of. Because of the charging port being on the side of the phone, it works best in my car when it's held in a landscape orientation in my windshield-mounted dock. This is great for everything except one thing: the dialer. I know in most AOSP custom ROMs I've used on other phones, the dialer rotates with the phone. Since I've rarely stuck to stock on a phone before, and we're kind of forced to here, is there a way to get the dialer to rotate?
