From what I know it doesn't work with ART yet...however I personally don't see the big upside of using ART right now :/

I tried it and it didn't improve performance or battery life. And I'm on 2013's HTC One (m7), with the almost "old" Snapdragon 600.

Without ART, bluetooth/GPS/NFC always on constantly being connected to either wifi or 2g/3g I get solid two and a half days outof my phone and don't really experience serious performance lags. (I don't game.)

So the advantage of xposed, especially of the modules gravitybox, xad, NFC lockscreenoff enabler and greenify, are totally worth it. :)

However I see your point.

But I think this feature is not really one to be solved by Secure Settings and the developer of SS seems not to have enough time anyways.

So loading those things onto his plate, if there are ways around it from the user perspective, is questionable :)

Trying ot get GPS toggle to work with this and Tasker. It comes and asks for busybox - is this really needed for this app to function? Running rooted (but stock) Nexus 5.
[Android Apps and Games] spaboleo:
What's wrong with busybox?

Just install it from the playstore and you're good to go.

All it does is providing unix tools and utilities to be accessed by other root applications. It won't harmfully modify your phone. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] devil-kin:
Wrong, nothing. And I'm very much aware of what busybox is ;) it's more that I'm wondering what secure settings needs from it, as the su binary is supplied Leads by other means.

I prefer to install as little as possible other things in /system.

Thanks, I installed it meanwhile, and it works.

s4 cm 11 wake device bug ??

Trying to wake device on a face up state, when using test button inside task with a wait it works but if I let tasker activate profile and run the task it will not wake with or without the wait task. Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] preacher65:
Not sure if this will work for what you're trying to do, or if you're already aware of it, but... Before that xposed module was updated to work with the latest Android, I used Tasker to accept the location consent dialog with a dpad action. On my device it was so quick that I don't think I ever actually saw the pop-up appear.

There's info in the thread for the xposed module, as folks were trying to find a workaround before it was updated. A good place to start reading is at this post (or around there):

Hope somebody can help me with my issue. I am using ViperOne rom and so far have been using its own built in SuperUser app to manage root access for my apps. For some reason yesterday the Viper Super User app went completly insane and i needed to disable it and switch to the SuperSU app. I have enabled root access for all my apps via SuperSu but no matter what i do Secure Settings is not asking for root permissons again. I have tryed removing and reinstalling Secure Settings multiple times and it never asks for root permissions from the SuperSU app and i cannot add it manually. So basically because of this i am screwed because for what i have been using Secure Settings i need it to have root access which its currently unwilling to request on my phone for some reason.

Any idea how i can manually trigger the app to request root permissions? Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks

Yup already done that. Didn't work :( Also revoked device admin rights and then re-set it. Didn't work either. No idea why the app doesn't want to ask SuperSU for root permissions but its driving me nuts since every other app i had installed did.

I'm actually using Automagic (similar app to tasker) where i need Secure Settings to work in order to be able to turn off the Pattern lock on my HTC One. So yeah Automagic triggers Secure Settings but it only gives an error that due to limited permissions it cannot perform the requested action.

SIP registration fails (CM11M6)

I also have the same problem. Recieve incoming calls changes, but registration reliably reports as failed. I will try sniffing to see if an attempt is actually made.

If I manually change the registration option, it reliably works.

Maybe there's a registration call that isn't being triggered? What exactly is Secure Settings doing?

[Android Apps and Games] w0rinal:
I don't think that's a problem with secure settings

I rather assume tasker disables acceleration sensor when screen off.

Try changing that in preferences -> monitor, scroll down to When Display Off -> set accelerometer to yes.

And maybe preferences -> miscellaneous -> uncheck Reduce Resource Usage .

Note that this is likely to drain battery and reduce performance

Anyone managed to get Secure Settings to remove Lock Screen Owner Information?
[Android Apps and Games] Brutal_Master:
Anyone here know of the best way to utilize Secure Setting's "Power Button Lock" feature? My goal would be to disable the power button whenever the lock screen is shown so that if someone stole it they couldn't simply turn it off and boot into recovery. I currently have LLama and i see no way to do this with it; however, i'm wondering what the users here would recommend ? Tasker? Other app? Etc... Thanks everyone!!!
[Android Apps and Games] sjmiller:
How will you stop them from removing the battery? Or do you have a device that can't access the battery?

Scott
[Android Apps and Games] Brutal_Master:
bingo!
[Android Apps and Games] w0rinal:
But doesn't the power button lock action mean that the power button instantly locks the device instead of waiting for the automatic lock to time out?

If you want to prevent the power button from working I would suggest using an exposed framework module. Xposed additions has this option, I don't know about its whole functionality though.

But I don't think it's possible to set up these actions based on contexts.

If it was a normal application you could try to send an intent with lama to trigger a change of key mapping but afaik it needs a reboot to actually change key mapping since it's an exposed module.

Even if it worked on-the-go that idea seems hardly feasible to me.

Apart from that there's no way to prevent the battery from getting low and the phone from eventually turning itself off

A better way to accomplish your aim (of preventing a possible theft from accessing recovery mode) would be setting up a password for recovery

Not sure if there's an option for that in any recovery but it's way easier than using 5 apps to stop the power button working when on lockscreen

I have been having an issue with secure settings and tasker on my s5. I have tasker setup to secure settings lock with pin when not connected to my bluetooth or home wifi. Most times it locks to the pin but occasionally it will show the full samsung keyboard. Yesterday it did this twice and both times I could not unlock with my pin. It had me completely locked out. No way in. It only unlocked when I was back connected to bluetooth. Wft! I could have been screwed.

Any advice? I am rooted. I used exposed to "quick unlock" when correct pin is entered. (Don't hit ok button)

I've had to disable tasker completely to prevent lockout.

Hello!

Is there anyway to make a tasker command to un-lock the phone while in "slide to unlock"?

I'm using it with !utter and with it I can wake up the device (turn the display on), but I haven't find a way to get it unlock after that.

It will also help to make tasker to switch from "slide to unlock" to "no security setting to unlock" while I'm connected to my home wifi.

Is there any way to poll the current status of the settings?

I'm using tasker and want to set location services to high accuracy, get a fix, and set it back where it was, but I can't seem to find a way to read the current setting before changing it.
[Android Apps and Games] w0rinal:
Haven't heard of an option to dismiss the slide-to-unlock lockscreen. Afaik Unlock in this context means unlocking the securing method.

You could try the other way round. State "If Not connected to WiFi" then "activate pattern lock with secure settings". Add an exit task "secure settings -> disable pattern lock".

Try it once and set the internal security settings in Android settings to use no locking method for unlocking screen (security -> screen lock: none)

Then secure settings should activate pattern lock again, since the pattern is saved somewhere in settings and secure settings just determines whether it's used or not.

I'm not sure whether the pattern is kept or deleted when changing the lock screen method to none though

You could give it a try

[Android Apps and Games] w0rinal:
You said you use an app called !utter to unlock your screen. Does it also lock your screen? If so I assume it asks for being enabled as a device administrator. If so, that's already all you need to also unlock your screen.

The easiest way to achieve what you want is to ask the developer so implement that function :)

No, !utter is a voice command application, I can wake up the phone with a phrase (like moto X) but it only turn on the screen, I was trying to get it unlocked after the screen lights on.

What I have achieved so far is disabling keyguard/patron when I'm using my home WiFi with tasker, and then when I wake up the device with my voice it is already unlocked.

But this (disabling unlock when wifi connected) doesn't work all the time.

It's likely that the settings changed on newer Samsung devices. Unfortunately, I don't have access to an S5 and creating/updating device specific features is quite difficult without the device available.

[MENTION=2528886]intangibleDroid[/MENTION] - quick question I'm noticing that several aokp Custom rom actions are no longer available on my current AOKP rom, is it due to being above a certain revision, ie CM11 instead of CM9, or 4.4.4 instead of 4.4.1/2, etc?

Where would this compatibility be pulled from- rom version, aokp version, build prop, etc?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
This feature is driven by the existence of a system setting. If you have never used the feature, then you will have to toggle the "ADB over network" switch the system uses. After that, reboot and the functionality should be restored. If not, please let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] 78Staff:
That was just an example, all the options except Fast Charge are disabled - all show the same "Not on CM9/AOKP Rom" warning when trying to enable. I just happened to use ADB for the screenshot - although I have used ADB, and have it enabled any time I am on home wifi.

I though maybe SS was just not recognizing later versions of CM, therefore not letting those options become enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
I only key off of the existence of settings to determine compatibility. No rom version scraping or anything is done. Fast charge, however, checks to see if a specific file exists which varies by kernel.

[MENTION=2528886]intangibleDroid[/MENTION] I'm still having issues with secure settings (I think) enabling a password lock instead of pin when using an exit task with tasker. My full keyboard comes up instead of number pad. This is intermittent but mostly when I come away from bluetooth connected state. This morning I was able to enter my pin into the full keyboard and it unlocked. A check of the lockscreen settings shows it is secured with password. Secure settings is setup to use pin. I have a stock rooted galaxy s5 with only a few mods with xposed such as Wanam exposed to change the notification panel and enable quick unlock when proper pin is entered.

[Android Apps and Games] sjmiller:
Secure Settings already has the ability to cause my device to connect to a specific Bluetooth device, such as my car audio system, or an earpiece, for example. It would be useful to also be able to specify the Bluetooth profile that should be used, such as A2DP or HSP, etc. That way I could connect to multiple devices, each with its own purpose. In my case, I want to use my car audio system for phone calls (HSP) and my earpiece for media (A2DP) so that I can listen to my satellite radio and hear my navigation instructions through my earpiece.

[Android Apps and Games] w0rinal:
Does

that work when setting it up to work like you suppose to manually? I don't know too much about Bluetooth settings but if you can't achieve that by doing it manually I wouldn't expect an app which only sets preferences in Android to be able to.

Try disabling password lock in the same task in which you also enable pin lock. Maybe a wait task in between the two.

Afaik Android doesn't have the ability to set up a lock method over another so in the worst case you could lock yourself out by not being able to unlock both since IME isn't supposed to show up in secured lockscreen

Sent from Boeffla Kernel powered Slim GT-I9300
[Android Apps and Games] sjmiller:
Yes, it does. And, Secure Settings is much more than an app that only sets preferences in Android.

I already am aware of, and have tried, several apps and widgets that are standalone that can perform this function. I want it in a Tasker plugin, and currently none exist that work on Android 4.2 and later.

Scott
[Android Apps and Games] pickupman66:
so, you suggest adding to the exit task "remove password lock" --> wait task (5 sec.) --> enable PIN lock ?

Seems like an odd step since in original setup there is no mention of Password lock. ONLY pin. YOu cannot setup one lock on top of another. it is one OR the other.

I had thought it could be a timeout issue so I added 5 sec timeouts to each. I also added in to the front of the exit command to wake device for 5 seconds then Set Pin.

we will see if this works.

Settings are as follows:

Exit task for Bluetooth Connected

1. Secure settings

--Configuration CPU Wake Only 5 Seconds

2. WAIT

--3 seconds

3. Secure Settings

--Configuration SET PIN - Timeout 10 seconds

4. Set Tasker Icon (so I see that there are no active profiles at quick glance)
[Android Apps and Games] w0rinal:
But you said system settings showed password lock as active lock method. That might be the reason why the keyboard shows up. So disabling it with secure settings - just to be sure it's really disabled - and afterwards activate pin lock sounded well to me.

Which lock method do system settings show when you're connected to Bluetooth? If everything works correctly it should say none or slide.

Or does secure settings enable the wrong lock method and that's your main issue?

I'm just a little confused about what's the problem we're trying to solve :D

The Problem I am trying to SOLVE is that it RANDOMLY Puts a PASSWORD LOCK instead of PIN lock as I specified in Secure settings. It also DOES NOT Properly Provide my PIN as the PASSWORD and I get locked out. Happened Last night. I had to go back to my truck and turn it on so BT would connect to unlock my phone, then once Unlocked, I had to DISABLE tasker so I didnt get LOCKED out completely again.

Sadly, it does not do this every time. sometimes it works as it is supposed to and Specifies a PIN Lock. IE, it worked this morning when I got to work. this weekend, it locked when we were on the boat and I could not unlock it.

OK. Per what you stated, I have it set like this.

Enter task for Profile

EXIT task

There is no way to make Secure settings "Clear PIN" it always says "Clear Password". Lets hope this works. I also have a 10 second timeout for each task.
