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

thank to this user nurre we have dark keys for cupcake/1.5
ok you kinda need root but lets face it if you haven't got root your a bit of a loser
Rename to darkkeys.apk and install just like any application, then when you first use it tell su permissions to allow always
optional: go to settings, applications, quick launch and then set a shortcut for dark keys so you can just click it off and on with just search+whatever
( i like to use search+0 )
WE CAN SEE ARE KEYBOARD
Oh btw this has been only tested on jf1.50 but I'm sure it will work on all builds
if not, comment and tell me
Tested and confirmed working, thank you so much!
-JF 1.50, Android Aero
How do you install this?
Like you would install any other non-market app.
I downloaded it, named it darkkeys.apk and it doesnt appear in the app installer.

Are you sure you haven't set Windows to hide known file extensions? In that case you might just have renamed the darkkeys.zip to darkkeys.apk.zip, which of course won't be recognized by the app installer.
I am having the same problem. So were do you go in windows to change this problem? Thanks for any help.
Nevermind i figured it out. thanks.

What do dark keys do? You're not talking about the virtual keyboard right? Or is it something that controls the back light on the G1?
Searched for it. So it turns off the light from the keyboard? How would this be useful? I have a black G1 so maybe this doesn't really effect me...

You have it reversed, its for having the keyboard lit as long as you want it and turning it off after your done.
I'm having the same issue, it wont go to sleep and it kills the battery crazy
add me to the list of users with backlight issues using this 1.5 version... Makes me a sad panda. I had taken this app for granted before upgrading - now I miss it big time.
Wanna turn your Screen off while watching videos over HDMI?
Or need a watchful Xoom but don´t want the screen to be on all the time?
Here´s the app you need!
Description:
The App adds the posibility to turn off the lcd backlight to your xoom. Its nothing less then a shutdown-button for your display backlight.
The app toggles your lcd backlight to zero and back, said doesn´t just overlay your screen with black, like the other apps inside the market.
it turns off your screen light completly , but the screen stays responsible and the devices stays awake.
Use it instead of locking your xoom, if you need your device itself to be active but dont need the display to be on, e.g. while you´re watching videos over hdmi, use your xoom as a vnc server or something like that.

Click to collapse
Use this awesome little App with some "starter app" of your choice.
For example, use the Shaking Shortcurt App, register ToggleScreenXoom.apk and you could turn your screen on/off with just shaking your device.
(tested on xoom [email protected] but should work on every rooted xoom)

does it work on xoom2?
Hello!
Fanstastic app.
Does it work on xoom2? with 3.2.2 rooted?
I used the old method that this thread started as, using market apps. Unfortunately it doesn't work with the Cornerstone version of the Eos roms. What exactly is app? Can you provide more detail? I don't just download apps to try them without some type of info...
I use the current method on cornerstone #16.

"Basically" the same as the old method, right. Just in one app without the need of configuration and with more flexibility to be launched by other apps.
Maybe you´ll try "Shaking Shortcurt". A nice app that lets you launch two other apps by shaking your xoom.
Yeah, think I'll try that instead of SwipePad. Since Swipepad rely's on the borders of the screen and Cornerstone alters the borders, I'm guessing that's the issue. Maybe the Shaking app won't have that issue.
Thanks again for the clarification, and the thread. I really can't believe this thread hasn't blown up!

i dont understand your question.
just install the app and execute to turn off your screen and again (remember the position) to turn it back on.
or use a starter app like "Shaking Shortcut" to toggle the screen on and off by shaking your xoom.

NO!!! don't flash in recovery, i say that, mainly cause I don't know what it will do... you can install the app while ics is running, I think I used astro but can't remember. What you just asked was the same thing I had wondered.

You´re right. Thanks for the correction.
First post is edited to get it straight.
Does this only work on the xoom? I have an acer 510 and I want something like this. It sounds like this gets launched in conjunction with whatever app you launch. I'd rather that while on hdmi the tablet display is off entirely. Or maybe this does that as well.
So is this specific to the xoom?

According to the readme provided in the zip file this application seems to be specific for the Xoom, or at least a few tegra 2 tablets.
That's disappointing. Why would manufacturer's assume that a user wants the display to stay on while using hdmi?! How about a sane default like leave hdmi output on and turn off tablet display after the normal inactivity duration. But allow a keyboard/mouse not to be recognized as tablet activity.
Could this be modified to work with more devices? Or say newer tegra 3 devices if it's chipset specific. But really, ics should have some application layer to control things like hdmi res, screen active etc...
Nice! Works in AOKP
First of all, this is a great app, and it works well in AOKP (build 37).
To trigger the app, I set my "home" softkey on my xoom (in Rom Control) to trigger the app when the key is held. Even though you can't see the softkeys when on hdmi, after a while, its exact location is easy to recall.
It is really convenient. Thanks for the much needed addition to a great device.
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 Home
Swipe to Unlock
Hit Menu
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...
Thanks a million.
Haven't gotten it done yet, but i feel much closer.
Trying to get to settings from swiping down from the top of the screen as i'm not familiar with the other method.

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.

I want to use tasker to turn the screen off. Secure Settings > Lock Device forces me to use pin, which is not what I want, as I use a finger print scanner to wake my device. Shell > Input keyevent 26 does not work either, as I am not rooted (Huawei Mate 9 pro, doesn't seem to have a reliable root yet).
I have tried doing it with System > Send intent, but that seems to have no effect. I dont know if I am doing it wrong. I have also tried
Code:
terminal task
, with a code like this (and some variants of it), without success:
Code:
am start --user 0 -a android.intent.extra.KEY_EVENT --es KEYCODE_POWER ACTION_DOWN
I have also tinkered with
Code:
android.intent.action.SCREEN_OFF
...but with even less success.
Any ideas as how how I can get this to work? Either with terminal emulator or tasker send intent task?
I think you can't do that cause you're using your Fingerprint. That is a security future and Tasker can't bypass it. Don't nail me on it cause I am not sure. Maybe someone else can prove me wrong.

Maybe you could setup a workaround for this. For example, you could lower the display timeout value to one second so your device locks itself.
(Don't forget to change the timeout back to your preferred value after another second!)

Good idea. But the minimum is 7 seconds, which is too long to wait, for the solution to be worthwhile.
I found a way to do it:
1: Create a task:
display > display timeout: 8 seconds
scene: Show scene: popup - display as overlay, blocking, full screen2: create a profile for screen on, create task:
hide scene: popup
display > display timeout: 30 seconds
So you're hiding the ui with a black screen until the screen is really switched off after 8 seconds, right? But what happens when you press the back or home button within the 8 seconds? Does the scene disappear?
This is what I do. Just make a task with Run shell, no need for security settings app. In the command line type input keyevent 26. You then can add a short cut when you double tap the homescreen to turn off the screen.
@snorrski you might want to have a look at this:

It seems to be exactly what you wanted. It works without root and on my (unrooted) S7 Edge, I can still use the fingerprint sensor to unlock my device after locking it this way (input keyevent POWER).

I know it's been over 2 years since y'all had this discussion, but I hope this still reaches you.
The power button on my Mi A1 stopped working recently and I can't seem to find it's replacement flex cable anywhere. I'm entirely new to Tasker but I have been reading for hours now to find ways to use a screen based interaction (say a double tap on the screen) to simulate the Power button to turn the screen off while still being able to unlock my phone with my fingerprint scanner.
So far, I've understood that it is doable (with an article refering to input keyevent 26), even more so on Android Pie (with another article refering to using Global_Actions) than it was previously possible, but am entirely clueless on how. I also couldn't quite understand the process of using the remote ADB shell plugin you mention here.
Could either of the two of you please share a step-by-step how-to on how to achieve the same? It would really help a lot. Thank you
Note: I'm using unrooted Mi A1 running stock Android Pie with July 1st security patch.

Your post is getting long in the tooth. Are you still looking for help?
There are button remapping apps and apps that do double tap for off in the play store. Also, launchers can do this. Nova launcher for sure, but others I believe as well.

Hey, thanks for the suggestions. Gravity Screen, Nova Launcher as well as finally being able to understand Tasker, did help solve this issue, as I still look for a flex cable to fix the physical button issue as well.

It is. Although, the price is 3.5x the price if I got it from an authorised Xiaomi service centre (except the one in my locality doesn't have it) and about 14x than what is available at local mobile spare parts shops (again not available). Hopefully, I'll find it soon.
