Any chance you can give options to toggle Google Voice call settings?

When I'm on VOIP I set Google Voice to never be used for calls (because it doesn't like airplane mode w/ wifi). So when off VOIP, I'd like to toggle it back to be used for all calls.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Thanks for this useful information. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how much I'll be able to fix. The method that I'm using for disabling this Keyguard has been deprecated by Google (since ICS) and I haven't found another method that allows for anything similar.

That being said, I will take this into consideration and try to figure it out when I have more time.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
The VOIP/SIP options that I added in the latest version manipulate settings that are baked into the OS and are in the AOSP source code.

As for Google Voice, those settings are likely stored in the app's preferences/database. The app is proprietary Google code and not open sourced so finding a way to update these settings in a reliable way would be quite difficult.
[Android Apps and Games] galom:
Have you tried google voice callback? This is what I use.
[Android Apps and Games] tr0ner:
Bad news on the sip options: it does set the checkbox for incoming calls correctly but Android does not recognize it until you manually open that settings window in the dialer =( can anyone confirm please? (I use resurrection remix which is based on aokp on the sgs2)

Edit: if you use "Sip Widget" from the play store android recognizes the toggle
[Android Apps and Games] tr0ner:
Did you try what I posted a few pages before: it works great if you set it up while there is no lockscreen or security lock (pattern or pin) or keyguard (slide to unlock etc) enabled. Tested on cm9 and on aokp based roms on the sgs2 (i tried a few)
[Android Apps and Games] TherynK:
Tasker/Secure Settings won't turn the pattern lock back on if I do this. It also won't turn the slide lock back on. IF I change security to "None" and then enable this profile, it stays at none and no security is turned on. (The only thing that works with this method is WidgetLocker.) Experimenting with it further.

Edit: I turned pattern lock back on manually and now the Tasker profile seems to be working like it's supposed to. Success... maybe! Thanks Tr0ner. I'll keep working on it.
[Android Apps and Games] tr0ner:
Yes you need to turn it back on manually just like I wrote, from there on it works automatically without problems =)
[Android Apps and Games] PeQuEsan:
I've got a question about your method... When you say to disable slide unlock in security settings... do you mean with Secure Settings? I don't know how to do it in Android... ¿?

I'm just trying to disable slide unlock, no pattern/pin/pass configured.
[Android Apps and Games] tr0ner:
I did this BEFORE setting up the unlock task in tasker / secure settings plugin:

In AOKP Rom settings:

Lockscreen Options: untick "Show lockscreen before secure unlock"

In Android's security settings (not in the secure settings app):

"No Security or None" Cant tell you exactly because my rom is German

After that I configured tasker to disable pattern lock (via secure settings plugin in the "HELPER ACTIONS") when connected to my wlan and reenable it when I leave my wlan.

After setting up tasker I manually enabled my new pattern in Android's security settings (not secure settings)

Since then it works without any problems or side effects: I have to unlock it manually once after I connect to my wlan but after that it does not show the pattern or the lockscreen untill I leave my wifi. I need to enter it once although I have not ticked the checkbox "Enter the password once before unlocking" in secure settings"

Some more notes:

I use pattern lock only, no lockscreen / keyguard

I have the helper installed and working

I have no other tasks in tasker (using secure settings or standard tasker options) which have anything to do with security and / or keyguard.

I did not use the keyguard settings under "ACTIONS" in secure settings

I did not use the Lock Device or Password / Pin options in the "DEV ADMIN ACTIONS" in secure settings

Maybe attached screenshots makes it clearer for you

sorry, as i mentioned i have the latest binaries as far as superuser and busybox are concerned but it still doesnt work, so i have to have the ones from your site?
[Android Apps and Games] PeQuEsan:
That quote is what I CAN'T do in my stock Sense 4 ROM... I don't have this option... :(

Lucky you with AOKP! :) May be I'll give it a try... :P

bye!
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
If you have the latest superuser binary, you should be fine. Does the Package Manager option show up as available?
[Android Apps and Games] fury-s12:
repky

Unfortunately not no i can enable it in the options but it doesn't work, or let me select it to use it :s
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
So, you see a red circle next to the option? When you click on it, does it say that your binary is outdated?

The Chainfire SuperSU binary should work but if you have the Superuser binary, it has to be at least version 3.1.
[Android Apps and Games] fury-s12:
reply

It didn't say the binary was out of date no but silly me just checked super user and it was the app the updated not the binary, binary is at 3.1 now all is good thanks heaps
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Awesome. Glad it's working for you :D

Subscribing to keep my eye on a JB fix. I love this plugin!
[Android Apps and Games] dipole:
This was working for a little while on Jelly Bean but after 10min or so it stops working....
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
I'm still looking into solutions for Jelly Bean issues. I'm hoping things will become a bit more clear when the source is released.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
A brief update about Jelly Bean Lock Screen issues.

I finally got a look at the source and boy did they change some things...

Previously, setting the Lock Pattern enabled/disabled was as simple as flipping a bit when the app is installed in the /system partition. Unfortunately, Jelly Bean has made some enhancements that make this much more secure. As of now, Lock Screen settings have been moved into a Remote Service only accessible by apps running with the System UID. What this means is that the current Pattern Lock option is not compatible with Jelly Bean and will be disabled in my next release.

That being said, I will continue looking into new methods for toggling the Pattern Lock. Additionally, I hope to find a reliable solution to the Helper installer issue soon.
[Android Apps and Games] WillJitsu:
Not what I wanted to hear, but thanks for keeping us updated. Hopefully you're able to find a solution to this. In its current state, is there any advantage to converting Secure Settings to a system app on Jellybean?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
If you aren't using any other Secure Settings' Helper features (GPS, ADB, etc), then you don't need it to be in the system.

I haven't verified if all the other options are working yet but I also haven't received any messages from users telling me otherwise.
[Android Apps and Games] MeanderingCode:
I would not say that is unfortunate. It means this particular function needs to be rewritten, plus some base reworking, but more security is always a win in today's world. I hope your app is written with security in mind.

Does making an app a "Device Administrator" not give it that kind of privileges? That seems odd to me, from an architecture and design standpoint. Haven't looked at the Android source or docs at all, just an analytical question.

Thanks again for puting in the VoIP settings so quickly. I'm travelling, but when i get back home (where i have no signal at my house), i will be setting things up and using it on a daily basis!
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
I said "unfortunate" because it breaks what I currently have in place :p

I am a big supporter of security-based enhancements and think that this tweak was a long time coming (hasn't been changed since Froyo).

As far as the Device Administrator role goes, it only works with setting passwords and pins because they are the only options truly considered secure and can be set from clear text. There is no programmatic way of setting a Pattern Lock or Face Unlock using the Device Admin API due to the type of data that needs to be entered.
[Android Apps and Games] MeanderingCode:
Ah, that makes sense, regarding the security rating of pattern and face unlock. I don't agree with neglecting access to it completely...I think there should be some way to set a policy option somewhere in the system config, allowing or disallowing...but i'm not an Android core dev, just an open source advocate :P

Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] kimboinatl:
Thanks for the update!
[Android Apps and Games] eagene:
I'm trying to use keyguard off/on with the SGS3 and I do see my pin lock being reset whenever I click on a notification. I'm having trouble following your instructions. I'm not rooted. I think you're saying to turn off my pin lock in the settings menu, then use the "leaving home" action to have Secure Settings turn it on? Can you spell this out for me?

At home - use keyguard: disabled, do I need to use password/pin here?

Away from home: use keyguard: enabled AND password/pin ?

For password/pin enabling, I guess I have to click on enabled and enter my pin. What about "device admin enabled"? I never used device administrators before - should tasker and/or secure settings be enabled there?

Thanks for your help!
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Hi, if you're following this guide, I can try to explain a bit further.

Essentially, you have to go into the phone's security options and set the lock to "None". This will clear any password you have currently.

After that, go into Tasker and set your At Home Enter task to "Disable Pin/Password". In the Home Exit Task, use Secure Settings to set a Pin or Password.

Device Admin needs to be enabled for this to work, if it isn't, you won't be able to save the task.

What this should accomplish is having a password when you're not at home and unlocking directly to your home screen when you're at home.

Note that I haven't tested this on anything but a Galaxy Nexus using AOSP ICS, so your results may vary.

Let me know if this works for you or if you have other questions.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Hi Everyone,

I have a new Beta hosted here that should fix the automatic Helper installer issues. Please let me know if you are still having trouble.

Also, let me know what other features aren't working or are working strangely.

This seems to be working, thanks. I enabled the swipe to unlock too, so at home, I just swipe and away from home, I enter my pin - perfect! Once in a while at home I seem to need to enter my pin again, but I suspect my wifi connection is dropping and reconnecting, but it's much better than every time I pick up my phone.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] kimboinatl:
Worked for me, helper responded. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Bump for market update.

Update includes Helper installer fix.
[Android Apps and Games] waylo:
Does the pattern lock toggle work in this new version for 4.1?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
No, this update only addresses the Helper installer issue. The Pattern Lock issue is going to be much more difficult to solve (if it's possible at all).
[Android Apps and Games] waylo:
Okay, so it will still function on ics phones then? (I remember you saying you were going to remove it a few posts back).

There's the app delayed lock on the market which is essentially what I use this plug in for in Tasker. It looks like somehow they got it working in 4.1 so hopefully it can be done here!
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
It still works on ICS.

Restoring the Pattern Lock functionality for JB is one of my top priorities.
[Android Apps and Games] TehFonz:
Is it possible to have the following setup with Secure Settings & Llama:

@Home/Work - Pattern Lock disabled/Slide to unlock enabled

Not @Home/Work - Pattern Lock enabled/Slide to unlock disabled

I am on Jelly Bean on my Nexus (I understand Pattern Lock is not functioning yet)

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Essentially what you have to do is set the Security option to "Slide" then set a "Pattern Lock" afterwards. What this accomplishes is setting the default unlock method to Slide when the Pattern Lock is disabled.

Then you can create your task in Llama to set the pattern enabled/disabled in your desired contexts.

Pattern Lock functionality will be restored for JB in my next update.
[Android Apps and Games] TehFonz:
This works perfectly! I am temporarily using a PIN until the Pattern Lock function makes its way back into the app. Much appreciated for the quick reply. Now, where to donate?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Glad to help :)

There's a PayPal donate button in the OP of this thread. There is also an in-app donate option inside of the main app.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Hi Everyone,

I have a new beta that restores the Pattern Lock functionality on Jelly Bean. It no longer requires the Helper to be installed but you do need to be rooted.

Please give it a try and let me know if you are having any issues.
[Android Apps and Games] TehFonz:
Just tried the Beta. The Pattern Lock function has a green light, but I cannot seem to get it working.

I have Keyguard: enabled if that matters?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Could you turn on debug inside Secure Settings then get a logcat of you turning the Pattern lock on and off?

Also, do you know if you have sqlite3 installed? I have two methods in place to toggle the pattern. If you have sqlite3, then it will use one method over the other.

If you don't have sqlite3 installed, install this app and install sqlite3 inside of it then try again.

I'm still trying to decide if I should require sqlite3 since it seems like that method might be more reliable.
[Android Apps and Games] TehFonz:
A couple of things, SQLlite will not install on my GN for some reason. And I have the catlogs but there is no mention of Secure Settings, Pattern Lock or Llama. I am unsure if I've done it right.
[Android Apps and Games] PrometheanGeek:
I'm not sure if this is working as intended or not. I currently have tasks to enable/disable my PIN lock, and that works as expected.

One profile I have turns on the screen, launches an app and sounds a ringtone if someone sends me an SMS with a special string in it (in case of emergency, I can be reached even if my phone is on silent). I disable the PIN before the screen comes on, but when the screen activates, it still has the PIN input screen. The PIN is cleared, so entering any number (or just pressing OK) will unlock the phone, but it still prevents my app from showing, as if the PIN was still enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] hardwarechaos:
Hi there,

thx for this plungin.

Using it with tasker to disable pattern lock at home.

After upgrading to JB (Christmas came today), securesettings told me that disabling pattern lock does not work on JB, so i serached and found the beta.

For me it is working as expected (til now).

THX

[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Have you turned on "Flash Action Name" inside of the Secure Settings' preferences? If not, please do and let me know if it shows a toast message when you try to enable/disable the pattern.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Make sure the first action is to Disable the PIN. After that try adding a "Wait" for a few seconds. It takes Secure Settings up to a few seconds to fully disable the PIN so it may just need a bit more time.
[Android Apps and Games] Gawis:
Just flashed my first JB rom and the beta works fine.

My Pattern unlock/lock profiles still work.

Thanks a lot for the update!

Sent from my SGSII CM10 with Tapatalk 2
[Android Apps and Games] TehFonz:
Turned on Toast message and the Pattern Lock message comes up as enabled but still doesn't actually enable on the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
What ROM/device are you running?

Also, just to be sure... You have a Pattern set currently, right?

Additionally, enabling or disabling the pattern will only take effect after the screen has been turned on again after the pattern has been toggled.
[Android Apps and Games] PrometheanGeek:
I've tried with as much as 10 seconds, same results. The problem isn't that the PIN doesn't disable, it's that the PIN entry screen shows up anyway the first time the screen turns on after disabling the PIN.
[Android Apps and Games] TehFonz:
Galaxy Nexus with Jelly Bean 4.1.1 (not 100% sure on the rom build, but it's not a custom rom)

I have Slide to unlock set in security (phone options) and then have Pattern Lock enabled using Llama & Secure Settings

It worked perfectly with PIN Lock (where slide lock was set in the phone settings)

Hope that helps.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
You will need to have a pattern lock set in the phone's security settings before using Secure Settings to toggle it.

Helper Download Issue Persists

I'm new to Secure Settings. I downloaded just today from Play Store, and it says I have version 1.2.5, which appears to be 7/17 version with the Helper download fix. The Helper does not download for me.

Phone: Galaxy Nexus GSM, Unlocked, Rooted

ROM: BAMF Paradigm 2.0 (Jelly Bean 4.1.1, JRO03H)

Carrier: Straight Talk / AT&T

Problem: Clicking Download Helper just sits on a "Downloading Helper..." message, and leaves a persistent notification with "Initializing..." in the notification tray.

What I've tried: I've tried to download on HSPA+ and Wi-Fi. I've tried to download from the app and to download the zip file. All with the same result. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and cleared app data and retried.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Please try downloading the latest update.zip or the apk and manually installing it using these instructions.
[Android Apps and Games] TehFonz:
I was able to have PIN lock set and when it was disabled have slide to unlock set. Am I not able to do that with Pattern Lock?
[Android Apps and Games] Zalastax:
Pattern lock 100% working on Jelly Bean Paranoid Android CM10 based using your latest beta release
[Android Apps and Games] PrometheanGeek:
I have an update. I was able to stop the PIN screen from appearing if, after disabling the PIN but before waking the device, I toggle the Keyguard on and off.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
You need to reset your password to a pattern using the phone's security settings. Once you've done that, you should be able to use the Secure Settings option to toggle the pattern being enabled. When the pattern is disabled, it should return to a "slide to unlock" screen.
[Android Apps and Games] TehFonz:
Thanks again IntangibleDroid. That seems to be working. :D

Device Admin from Exchange Policy Override

I have been trying with not much success to override the PIN Lock screen required by my Coporate Exchange Policy. In order to have exchange email in my phone, I had to activate the Exchange Policy in my Administrators. I was wondering if some of the mandatory settings from Exchange Policy can be overridden by Secure Settings?

I just want to get rid of the PIN lock and use a slide to unlock instead.
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
I have been trying to do exactly the same (forced pin lock by lotus traveller) , but no luck until now.
[Android Apps and Games] skyes113:
I'm using the helper function to switch the keyboard via Tasker profile.

It seems to have problem with the stock keyboard (ICS 4.04). If I switch to this keyboard, it will not show up. I will then have to use Tasker to show "Input Method Select" and manually select the stock keyboard again. (It was showing stock keyboard as selected)

Switch to all other keyboards eg SlideIt is working properly.

Any idea why?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Unfortunately, I don't believe that you can bypass the Exchange security policy without replacing the email app :/
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
This is the first I've heard of this. If you wait a little after the switch and then try clicking in a text box, does it show up?

Also, does this app work for you?
[Android Apps and Games] skyes113:
Clicking on the text box does not show it either. Tried the app and it works.

Anyway I managed to solve the issue. The issue seems to be that I used "Set Locale and Language" to change my Language to English(Singapore) and my keyboard input language was using English(UK). I changed the language to English(UK) and Keyboard Input language set to "Use system language".

That solved the problem. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] MeVirtually:
I got my new SGS3 set up to do pattern unlock when not connected to Wi-Fi (and swipe to unlock on Wi-Fi) using Tasker, Secure Setting & the helper app, which I also had set up on my old Captivate. But unlike the Captivate, I noticed last night, after a week or two of using this setup, when I wasn't on Wi-Fi the pattern screen came up like it should, but I was able to swipe anywhere on the pattern screen and it unlocked. I could swipe side-to-side where the clock was, from the clock down past the pattern, I could enter any pattern I wanted, all of those unlocked the phone.

I turned off the task, set up the pattern again, and turned on the task again, and it's back to unlocking only on the correct pattern, so I haven't replicated the circumstances, but I thought I'd share this hiccup.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
I've seen this happen when the pattern gets reset to nothing, then Secure Settings sets the pattern to enabled. Good thing it doesn't lock you out instead :/
[Android Apps and Games] MeVirtually:
Very true! I was in and out of lockscreen settings because I was also having issues where the screen occasionally didn't lock after timing out or after looking the screen with the power button. Maybe they're related, maybe not, I'll just keep an eye on it.
