Lock Options (Lock and Trick)

Hi Guys,
Got an intention for having an extra feature in Android !!
I am not an expert developer, so wanted to let you guys decide if its good or bad
In Android we have different types of lockscreen(security) options, if we can have another option which would show as: Lock and Trick ; as in the image attachment.
View attachment 2904833
Assumptions: you use PIN/password to lock/unlock
what this would do is:
whenever you choose this option and lock the screen, and if next time someone tries to enter in the passcode/password it would check the password as it checks and would inform that one of the digits that he/she entered is right (trick), and he/she should try the other 3 digits.
We can have an option were we can select any digit to trick the person meaning for eg., I would configure it such that it would show up that "the 3rd and 4th digit is right please try the other two" and the person would actually be tricked. Provided we would need some maths in senerios where the digits are actually right !!:laugh:
Lastly,can we also have the same thing for pattern ??:good:

:thumbdown: sorry that's a useless feature
It would be much better if you had to enter the current time displayed on your phone. How many of you wondered what time is it and then unlocked your phone to go text or look something up forgetting completely to look at the time?

Hi ,
I am not taking about any security controls/new-methods !! YES i am suggesting a useless feature which can save your phone some time if its stolen.
Its not for security, it should be used to trick people believing that they know some digits of your password !!:angel:
Anyways thanks !!

Does anyone know how to get the gesture unlock security not the pattern one?

isn't gesture unlock a generic rom feature liquid smooth has it as I'm using it

hi,
Firstly, i had " something "similar (issue)
I my case i was missing my "auto rotate" icon, in my shortcut notification bar. I managed to sort it out, eventually.
I would suggest, try the following... it might work for you.?
1. check your notification shortcut "edit" to see if its not there.
If not,
2 Go to Samsung Store, search for "Quic Panel Restore app its a Samsung app.Install and" run " it. (see screenshot)
App is suppose to fix missing shortcut icons.
Plse note, that missing shortcut icons, is a common
" bug "for Samsung devices.!
From the then S6 device's (big issues then) plus all other Samsung models afterwards.
(You can Google issue and see)
In my case, QuickPanel Restore did not fix, nothing..!
I then had a idea, and downloaded 3rd party app" Auto rotate widget "
install it and switched /activated Auto rotate.
My icon showed up in my notification shortcut bar.! !
Yes, it a Samsung software bug !
Problem is, if i uninstalled" Auto Rotate widget "
my Auto rotate icon disappears from notification shortcut bar.! O, yes...
i do have the Mobile Hot spot (see screenshot)
Good luck

Thank you so much, but I can't find it in Samsung Apps, maybe region lock? My phone is Sprint N920P, but .I am in Taiwan.

hi,
no, you are correct.! I did a search now and it's not showing.
Previous occasions it showsed for me.
Samsung must have "pulled" app from App Store.
Have you tried my last suggestion,?
re look for similar 3rd party app "Mobile Hot-spot"
Google or check Play store?
Install and see if it "enables" Notification shortcut icon for mobile hot-spot.
This method, worked for me re Auto Rotate and still does...... "forces" icon to show. up in Notification bar.
Good luck
Post note
Did a quick search Play store.
One app "Quick Settings for Android" (has Mobile hot-spot)
and a few others similar apps you can install and try.
Also make sure your carrier has not blocked Mobile Hot-spot ?
(reason maybe why not showing? )

Help - cannot remove unidentifiable app

Bought a dual sim unlocked Samsung Note 8 online (Model N950F/DS), the carrier should be M1 Wireless Singapore.
Don’t know how to remove this App . Googling the title yielded nothing. The App opens to a window that allows you to download Service Provider Apps. I've also tried to long press the App, but removing it is not an option.

I’ve tried to follow a ADB tutorial to remove bloatware, but I cannot match title of the App in with anything in Package List or Settings > Apps, so I don't know how to proceed with ADB.
I don't want to root my device, and prefer uninstall over disable.
Long time iOS user, first Android device. Thanks in advice for any help.

What icons are you using? Doesn't look stock and that screen shot is teeny tiny. Can you upload something bigger? I can't read what it says under that app. Where did you buy your Note from?

I'm using a the icons that comes with a theme called Material_Black by MINU. I've changed the size of the images in the first post, so it should be clear. I purchased the phone new from a seller on taobao.com
Here is another look at the app drawer with stock Note theme and icons.

A quick Google search turned this up for me:

Download a samsung package disabler app (adhell 2, bk package disabler etc)
it will allow you to disable any system app

I understand it's carrier bloatware, I cannot find [email protected] in Settings > Apps or App Inspector.
Is there a package list I should target to remove said App or folder, whatever this bloatware is?

From the Wikipedia article, it doesn't seem it's carrier bloatware, but a SG government-mandated program

Stupid question, but since OP is former Apple user, did you enable system app and did you try under com. wireless????

Yes, I have.

I sort of solved the problem. For other people's knowledge, here is what I did:
1) purchased BK Disabler
2) disabled the following package
The [email protected] app/folder disappeared. I have also tired to re-enable this package, but [email protected] app/folder didn't come back.

Can I get longpress actions on apps on stock launcher like they were on nougat?

Like the thread suggests I upgraded to oreo and I regret it. The feature that I miss the most from nougat was longpressing on apps on the stock launcher and getting that app info action. I use fenix instead of the official twitter client and also some games, after some time they start acting up and when I force close them and delete their cache they work fine.
Now on nougat it was a simple longpress on the app you wanted and you could go to app info immediately. On oreo they changed it to some retarded options like select items, home screen and uninstall. So now I have to go to settings, apps wait for the list of apps to load and find the app and only then can I force stop it and clear the app's cache. Is there a way to get app info on longpress in the stock launcher or do I have to switch to another launcher like nova to get this functionality back?
Thx

Isn't this what you are referring to? 'force touch' actions work fine on Oreo.

Yup that's exactly what I'm referring to. In nougat when you did a longpress you had an option called "app info" but they removed it in Oreo (or I can't find the option to toggle it back on).
So for example in nougat let's say I'd long press on the playstore and I went to app info. It would take me to this screen
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now in Oreo if I want to get to the app info of the playstore I have to go to settings, then apps, then wait for the list of all apps to load, then find the app that I need.
It was a decent "shortcut" that worked great on nougat, but they removed it in Oreo. Most of the other launchers have that option, but since I didn't root this device I kind of got used to the stock launcher (ex touchwiz) so I'd prefer to stick with it. Just was wondering if there's a way to add that option.

I get what you mean now. Tbh i really doubt this feature will ever be re-added in future firmwares given how few people even noticed this was gone.

Yeah I figured if they took a feature out there won't be a way to get it back other than a 3rd party app.
Thx for the replies, guess it's nova launcher for me now

Shame. I loved that feature.

Well, Nova works really fine, you won't regret buying the license, I have been using it for 4 years or so

Yeah I know, I've been using nova for years back on my nexus 6p, and galaxy s3 before that. It's just retarded that in 2018 you can't have that option on a stock launcher. What's worse it was in there, and they removed it for no good reason. Oh well

APK Dump from Chromecast with Google TV

Awesome, thanks for pulling these apks

Thank you very much for this!

How do in install these? One by one?

Nice, thanks! Just added the Launcher and Google Search to my Mi Box and things are working well. UI navigation is smooth enough and I can appreciate all the content displayed in the launcher vs the old Android TV layout. It's not perfect but it's something new/fun and I think I'll be sticking with this over the default Launcher on the Mi Box.
Has anyone gotten the recommendations working at the bottom of the "For You" section after adding any additional APKs?
I used "Manage services" option in the new Google TV app on my Pixel but it hasn't seemed to transition over to the Mi Box yet but maybe it takes a bit and I'll need to use it for a few days.
The Google TV launcher also "crashes" after trying to select "Account Settings" as well as clicking the "wallpaper" button (in the account/settings section, top right corner) but that's minor and I would probably never use em anyway.
Any of the other dumped APKs beneficial for making the Google TV experience better on a Mi Box?
0ZFive on reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidTV/comments/j4542m/all_of_the_apks_from_the_new_chromecast/g7q2goa) listed the APKs they were able to install but I'm not sure any would do much on the Mi Box.

I have to use this APKs to port Google TV ROM as x86 to allow to run it on a various Intel/AMD based PC.

"manage services" must correspond to a third party application.
Only a few steaming apps are identified as the source at the current time (netflix, disney, prime)

Would be so grateful if you could add dazn

Thank you!
This apk is great!

You might want to use VPN for that and connect to a Google TV-supported country like US or UK, force close Launcher X and re-open it again and viola, problem solved.
