On screen menu key - Moto X Q&A

Hi all, I have already installed Gravity box (KK) on my xt1053. But I don't know how to enable "menu". Can someone guide me how to enable it?
Currently, i can see "Back, Home and another one (i don't know the name )".

In Gravity Box the third option down says "Navigation Bar Tweaks", in there, the third item is "Always Show Menu Key." You have to enable to option and reboot for it to take.

If you're already using xposed, install Gravity Box and assign the power menu function to one of the buttons you already have. No need to mod the systemUI.apk.
thanks

I've tried but there seems to be a problem with the gravity box, everytime I enable the module, I have 2 battery icon in the notification area, one stock and one big white empty bar, when I chose to untick it is gone but when I tick some box and reboot my phone, it'll come back again. and I found the power button thing but when I did it, the ratio of 5 button is incorrect, the home button is not in the middle anymore,
now I disabled the module and everything came back to normal.
any suggestion?

First of all, if you have two battery icons, then you're most likely using two different modules that alter the battery icon (maybe Xblast, or alike). Secondly, you don't need to enable the status bar/battery icon setting in GB, you can just disable it; all it does is change the icon, not add anything, so like I said, if you have two icons, you've got some other module interfering. And I'm pretty sure you don't need to enable the navigation bar features in order to use the Navigation Key actions settings. Check out my attached screenshots.

Thank you so much I'll try to fix it.
I have GEM xperia xposed, Xperia/AOSP Navbar bttons/Xperia xposed, these 3 modules are the ones I enabled. If I disable Xperia/Navbar module and use gravitybox Can I make 5 buttons?
and about the battery icons, I have no idea which module is interfering? I don't really mess up with those in notification bar.
Thank you

With Gravity Box you can have a Menu, Back, Recent, Home, and Custom button navigation bar; that would make five buttons. When I used that specific feature they were never messed up. I don't know how heavily modified your SystemUI or framework is, but all those modules you're using modify the SystemUI, so what I would do is disable those and then enable Gravity Box and see if you get the same two battery icons.
I don't think you'd need to disable any modules, you just need to know which features of which modules change what.
For instance, I'm using Gravity Box, which can change the battery, but I like using the Circle with Text Percentage battery icon, and the one in Gravity Box looks a bit off to me, so I leave that option on stock, and installed Xbattery Themer to change the battery icon, which appears as can be seen in my previous screenshots.
Previously, before modding my own framework, I used to even use Xblast and Gravity Box at the same time (and sometimes still do). They both have similar features, but I don't use the same features of both modules at once.

Lockscreen shortcuts xposed module?

Are there any xposed modules that add shortcuts to the lock screen? I found this app on the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hi.locker&hl=en which is what I want to do. I was just wondering if there were any modules available that did it instead?

Ohh, you're right. I figured Gravity Box would be the one to do that... somehow missed that in the settings though (I saw it but didn't realize Ring Target was what it was referring too.)

Read up on rooting with towelroot and installing xposed framework.
Either the wanum or gravitybox module allowed me to remap to the old behavior.
I have already done that with the exception of using kingo root and searched for a mod
Maybe was using wrong keywords

So you got xposed and gravitybox installed ok?
It is in gravity box.
Navigation key actions/recents key/single tap action/...change to show menu.
Gravitybox and wanum xposed have tons of cool tweaks, some don't work on the s5
When I switched the behavior I realised that I have already got used to single tapping for recent apps, now I have to relearn. I'd like to be able to reduce the time a long press takes now.

I don't know what's different for you.
The only thoughts I have are, make sure the module is checked in xposed framework and that you reboot after you have backed out of gravity box's settings.
I also don't know where you found 'settings'
I'm including a screenshot of my gravity box setting.

Tried it that way all I got was this
Was wanting more like on my note 3
But in the end I used that menu to access settings any way so it worked out

[Q] Any idea what xposed module this is from?

I turned a bunch of xposed modules on at once when I rooted. Wasn't the most thought out plan. Now I have a black bar at the bottom of my screen with home, menu, back, and recent activities buttons. I already have these, so it's a waste of my screen space. Anyone know what top do to get rid of them?
What modules do u have installed & running?

Disable Keyguard with Tasker

Hallo everyone,
i have looked over all the threads here but did not find any solution.
My question is: Since SecureSettings (plugin) seems to be not developed anymore i need a new way to completely disable keyguard with Takser and ofc. reset to keyguard it was before.
Example: currenty i have a pattern to unlock. What i want to do: Profil "App X starting" -> Start-Task: completely disable keyguard (no "swipe to unlock", no pattern, no pin, nothing: tapping on power button => screen on with current running app); -> Exit-Task: restore pattern (with the pattern i was using before ofc)
Does any1 know any way how to do this? Currently i am running CM13 Snapshot (Android 6.0.1) on my GT-I9505.
thanks for any helpful answer
You can do that with Secure Settings, or the new AutoTools plugin

No, it did not (at least not for me), i did not even find the "disable keyguard" option like the SecureSettings Pluig-in had it
Still looking for a way to completely disable keyguard on Android 6 (CM13). Not even with my Smartwatch and "Smart Lock" i can REALY disable keyguard, i still have to swipe the Lock-Icon after reaktivating my phone
you can use secure settings on Lollipop and also on MM
try this with Terminal emulator:

Thanks, but i already knew this. The problem is not, secure settings does not find su binary. The problem is, secure settings -> disable keyguard is not working on LP&MM.
I am running Android 6.0.1... I use the Tasker plugin TouchTask (in Google Play) to disable the keyguard. It works perfect for me.

I use a tasker plug in called TouchTask from Google Play. It works perfect for me on Marshmallow. I used the plugin to temporary disable the keyguard in order to allow voice commands when driving.

hi, this is weird!
Maybe I misunderstood something here, but I'm running MM, and Secure setting's disable keyguard runs fine here. I use it to turn off pin keyguard when at home, and turn it back on, with preset pin, when I'm out.
I'm running Tasker with Secure setting on 6.0.1. Also, Secure setting is enabled in Xposed, if it matters.
I don't see any problem so far...
p.s. I just saw another plugin from the same developer, it is called SecureTask, it claims to be able to clear/set pin, password too. Maybe a good solution to finally replace the dated Secure setting?

Like mentioned in my OP (and how it worked on 4.4.4 (CM11):
Profil "App X" => start task: disable keyguard => end task: enable keyguard
i am using unlock pattern usually. what i want is, while "App X" is active/running, keyguard will be set to nothing (not even swipe to unlock!). pressing power (or home button) on my Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505), wich has no fingerprint reader, returns me from black screen (screen off) to the running "App X", i was before pressing power button to screen off. If i stop "App X" the keyguard should be re-set to the unlock pattern.
The SecureSettings plugin did this job on android 4.4.4, but not on 6.0.1 for me

I would recommend Xposed module App Settings, allow your app to show on lockscreen.

The task I use is the follwoing:
A1 Secure Settings, "screen & keyboard Lights on 4 s"
A2 Screen Unlock "Using the Plug I have mentioned"
A3, what ever else you want to do with Tasker
Please keep in mind that previously, I have disable the PIN using Tasker and Secure Settings when my cell phone is connected to my car's bluetooth
Keyguard is disabled/not an option in Secure Setting even I enabled legacy features. Did anyone figure it out how to disable keyguard on Marshmallow?
