Have you installed the beta? The non-beta still suffers from this issue.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Android Apps and Games] reapur:
I'm confused now. Is this beta for secure settings or the helper?

I'm looking here

http://www.intangibleobject.com/home

I don't see any beta listed.

Do we need to worry about installing anything for the helper or just use the alternative from the app?

Thanks

[MENTION=2658998]reapur[/MENTION] With the dev's help I think mine is working now using the SQLite option.

Let me see if I can give you the steps I used.

First thing is to get SQLite installed. The installer from the Play Store doesn't seem to be working properly.

If you have to manually install sqlite3, put it in system/xbin, permission is 755

Verify it is working, using a terminal app, type the command: sqlite3 --help

Once you have verified sqlite working, reboot, and reselect SQLite method.
[Android Apps and Games] reapur:
intangibleDroid Thank you!

reybie Thank you! I'm assuming you're not on the beta then?

I'll try that and report back.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] reybie:
I forgot to mention that I am on the beta.

On a different topic, maybe someone can help me with an intermittent issue and I don't know what is causing it.

When my pattern lock turns off, I turn on my screen but it is unresponsive.I can turn it off, then on, swipe at the screen a few times to unlock it then it starts working normally. This doesn't happen all the time though.
[Android Apps and Games] reapur:
This ^^^ along with beta version 1.3.4b1 worked. for the patternlock problem. I haven't had a chance to test other functions.

It took me two hours to locate the jelly bean version of sqlite3 so if anyone wants I can get it to you. I have the version for 4.1

Thanks again for everyone's help and patience while I was freaking out :)

update-- actually I just attached the file

note: make sure you rename the file to sqlite3 when you put it in system/xbin
[Android Apps and Games] imsiin:
this finally worked ty..
[Android Apps and Games] Dmtalon:
What am I doing wrong :(

I've got the beta

I downloaded the sql.rar, unzipped it, put it in /system/xbin set to 755 (rwxr-xr-x)

Rebooted

Selected SQL light under sttings for 4.1+

I'm still getting the same error. This is the only thing my new phone is not doing correctly (Moto X on 4.4). Otherwise I'm loving the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] reapur:
I forgot to mention that I had to set permissions to 775. maybe give that a try
[Android Apps and Games] Dmtalon:
Ok, I believe this has turned out to be an id 10 tango error. the sql binary was named sqlite3-4.1 and I didn't rename it to sqlite3 So secure settings couldn't find it. I believe I'm up and running!!

Thanks!

Also decided it was time to upgrade to pro to help support the cause! used this for a while, makes living a phone and keeping it fairly secure much nicer!
[Android Apps and Games] reapur:
perfect. I updated my posting to reflect the rename. skipped my mind :)

Not exactly sure I know what you are asking but it seems to me that your notifications for granting root access would be handled by your superuser app...

can't clear pin/password

I can set a pin/password with SS but i can't clear it anymore. And when i go into system settings i can't clear it either. I can just change the pin/password. The other options (pattern, move fingers etc) aren't accessable. Has anybody else this Problem?

I'm on rooted stock 4.4.1 with a nexus 5 and I'm using latest beta

Edit: I reinstalled ss und reflashed the rom. now it seeems to work ;)
[Android Apps and Games] sabret00the:
But the only app that appears to not listen is superuser or should I say the helper alternative.
[Android Apps and Games] pkelly517:
Do you have superuser built into the ROM, and do you use SuperSU?

If so, you need to enable the ROM su just long enough to where the su request makes it to Chainfire's su. Then you can disable the ROM version again.
[Android Apps and Games] cramu:
I'm on latest beta with KRT16S and have to report an issue with input method:

If I try to change it, SS will toast: 'An error occured while executing action: Input Method'.

It will work after granting system app permissions to SS, but only until next boot, so I have to run the helper alternative after every reboot.

Had the same issue with airplane mode but latest beta fixed that.
[Android Apps and Games] sabret00the:
Nope, I'm using Superuser built into CyanogenMod. As I said, anything else I turn off superuser notifications for works as designed, but no Secure Settings.

Kitkat pacman gps can't be enabled or disabled

Hi I'm using Kitkat version os. I can't enable gps using secure settings. Please help.
[Android Apps and Games] nuts77:
hello,

just want to share some feedback regarding use of new beta version (1.3.4.b1).

I'm using a SS plugin with tasker to trigger pattern lock off when my phone connects to my car dock.

then it turns the screen on, launches car mode and waze GPS application.

This used to work with android 4.3 on my HTC One.

I updated to 4.4 KitKat and the pattern unlock seemed not to work anymore. The first two options returned an error message, the third one worked ok but did not seem to have any effect if activated while screen was off.

I just updated to the 1.3.4.b1 and now third option (experimental) seems to be working as it should.

Thanks intangible for the update!

can't turn gps on

ok so i got my nexus 5 installed tasker and secure setting and also busybox free cause secure setting says so..

in the phone setting under security - device administrator i check all of then to have administrator.

now in tasker i set a profile when i load i.e google maps so then secure setting will turn gps on and then i made an exit task that secure setting turn gps off. the problem is that for some reason the gps does not turn on all and when i load google maps it says "an error occured while executing action: gps"

it's the first time i set this profile on the nexus 5. in my old galaxy S2 it worked perfect

what can be the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] TinTin:
In secure settings app try the alternative helper, that did it for me (also on nexus5)

[Android Apps and Games] xdp:
Hello, I'd like to ask what the "Lock Screen Timeout" setting does exactly. With lock screen widgets enabled, when I turn the screen on, it doesn't go out again for 30 seconds. With widgets disabled, it goes out after only 5 seconds. I'd like it to do this even when widgets are enabled. Is this what "Lock Screen Timeout" lets me set?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Does anyone know what Secure Settings is actually doing to the app itself when you enable the Helper Alternative? Is it possible to accomplish this without Busy Box manually? I am running a stock N5 and would rather not install BB if I don't need to.
[Android Apps and Games] sjmiller:
I'm pretty sure you don't need BusyBox to enable or use the helper alternative. That may not be 100%, but I use it without. But you do still need root.

Scott
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:
Some functions fail without BusyBox it seems, since those having trouble install BusyBox to solve it. I suspect that Secure Settings warns you and asks to install it for a good reason, not just for silly fun. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] :
You can't enable the Helper Alternative without BusyBox. It says "Busybox was not detected. WOuld you like to be taken to the Market to download it now?".

If you say no, it doesn't install.
[Android Apps and Games] sjmiller:
Interesting. I know that busy box is required to install the helper. But when I switched to the helper alternative, I didn't have it installed. Perhaps something changed. I did that on the first beta that included it.

Scott
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:
Or the ROM or an app installed has a BusyBox injection that was used. SD Maid has its own.
[Android Apps and Games] sjmiller:
True, but I'm completely stock. Oh well.

Airplane mode

Hello!

I have CM10.2 Jelly Bean 4.3.1 and I can't use the Airplane Mode, Radios, WiFi Sleep actions (and 2 display actions). I installed Secure Settings and tried with helper and without helper (with alternative), also with xposed module (jelly bean 4.x airplane mode helper), none of them helped. It still says that the selected action is not available in 4.2+ and try the secure settings plugin... :( Any idea?

Thanks,

I tried the search function but couldn't find any information to my problem. So please don't be bothered should this question have come up before. I may not have found the proper search terms. :confused:

I have Tasker and Secure Settings enabling and disabling my pattern lock depending on location based on cell towers. I use the SQL-Variant of pattern lock in Secure Settings. Everything works fine, but now I want to add a delay to enabling the pattern lock. I tried using the settings of my phone and once I found this doesn't work, I tried setting up a delay in Tasker just before enabling the pattern lock. The Trigger is my screen turning off. Depending on my location, either the enabling or disabling task gets executed. But for whatever reason, the delay doesn't happen. So everytime I turn my phone's screen on, I get the pattern lock when not at home, even if I just turned the screen off a moment before.

I have set the delay to 2 minutes. If it's important, I run this set up on a Note 3 N9005 with Nova launcher, Xposed and Wanam.

Can any one help or did some one achieve this already?

Thanks

Is this a known issue?

The CM11 LTE toggle Quick Panel tile doesn't work either, so maybe they're related.

Hello, have another problem with Tasker.

If I'm connected to my home wifi I want to turn off keyguard (have PIN). If I disconnect from my home wifi, keyguard must turn on. It works only sometimes.. Try it with stock Keyguard function anad today I tried add Secure Settings keyguard function. Don't know where is a problem..

Have Purity ROM (4.4.2 + HellScore kernel). Latest version of Tasker, latest version of Secure Settings (with Helper Alternative enabled).

Thank you.

Hello everyone, I've downloaded secure settings and it's helper and I'm trying to do this simple task in tasker:

Enable Location settings when I open maps, disable them when I close maps

I made two tasks one for enabling and one for disabling it, but for some reason they don't seem to work...

Secure settings says:

An error occurred while executing action : location services

What am I doing wrong?... Thanks everyone!

EDIT: I've solved it, the solution is to use the last voice in the helper tab, helper alternative!
[Android Apps and Games] CJSnet:
Just an addendum to toggling pattern lock on and off using root, when you disable pattern lock, the phone will revert to whatever the last lock method was. If it was "None" the phone will turn straight onto the homescreen. If it was "Slide" you'll see the side to unlock keyguard.

If you want to change this, go into Settings > Security > Screen lock > Slide then repeat but choose Settings > Security > Screen lock > Pattern. This effectively sets the 2 lock types the phone will toggle between.
[Android Apps and Games] NPOA556:
OK, I have run several searches in this thread and read the most recent few pages of posts, and I do not think this question has been asked or answered. I have a Moto X which can use an NFC tag to bypass the PIN entry lockscreen and unlock the phone. I have an NFC tag programmed to do this, and it works.

I have a Tasker profile to disable the PIN lock when I am connected to my home WiFi, and this has worked flawlessly. The problems comes when I want to do both. When I go to Settings > Security, I am given several choices for lock type, including PIN and NFC unlock. NFC unlock uses a PIN as a backup in case you do not have the NFC tag handy. So if I set it to NFC unlock so that I can unlock with my NFC tag, and then I connect to my home WiFi, the phone remains in NFC unlock mode, requiring me to scan my NFC tag or enter my PIN. Secure Settings does not have any knowledge of the NFC unlock method, so I can't disable it from within Secure Settings like I can do with PIN unlock. I need to be able to disable NFC unlock when at home, and then I need to be able to enable it again when I disconnect from my home WiFi. Is there any way to do this that I have just missed? Or is this just a problem unique to the Moto X that will not be addressed in Secure Settings?
[Android Apps and Games] reybie:
Thanks CJSnet! I've always wondered about this, my other phone before the S4 reverts to swipe after I disable pattern lock and I was never able to figure why this time my S4 always goes back to the home screen as soon as I wake up the display :)
[Android Apps and Games] reapur:

Face unlock

None

Turned off by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage

What is turning these off? this my personal phone with no corporate anything on it. just stock rooted 4.3

thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
This can happen if you have used the built-in credential storage. If you aren't using the credential store for anything important (VPN, certificates, etc) you can clear the credentials to regain these options.

To do this, go to the device Settings > Security and "Clear credentials." You should be able to select all of the options for Screen Lock after this is done.

Beta v1.3.4b2

I I have a new beta with some significant behind the scenes changes. As of this release, the Helper app is no longer supported for Android 4.1+.

I am introducing a new feature I've named the "System+ Module." For all intents and purposes, this is the same thing as the "Helper Alternative" but it's here to stay. Enabling this feature has been completely streamlined and should reduce the confusion for users upgrading to Android 4.4. If you have the Helper app installed, you will be prompted to enable the System+ Module which will remove the the Helper app in the process.

If there are any users out there that are using Android 4.0 and below, everything will look the same and the Helper app will continue to be supported and everything should function as it has been.

I am looking for some feedback regarding the new module. Anything from bugs to name choices are welcome.

Other new stuff:

Added the ability to toggle the Hardware Keyboard

Added HTC Modes (currently only supporting "Power saver Mode" but I hope to add more in the future)

Bug fixes

[Android Apps and Games] NCguy:
Do you know if this new module will fail an ota? Will it survive an ota and still be functional?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Yes, it will survive ROM updates and app upgrades.
[Android Apps and Games] andreasy:
I updated, removed helper and applied the new system+ module.

I want to refer to this option from change log:

Input Method Sub-types [4.0+]

You can now switch to individual enabled languages for a keyboard

This option was supposed to work before if I'm correct but never worked for me. I never managed to see any language as subtype.

I tried it again now and it's still the same.

This is one of my top needs in my priority list so I would be very happy if this could work with Swype keyboard as I change language all the time.

I can't set it on Nexus 5 on Purity 4.4.2. with or without secure settings,, with alternative helper. It always unlock to home screen. I have tried many combinations - change slide during active task, disabling before change to slide, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] 78Staff:
I believe it works for me, unless you are talking about something else (maybe I am misunderstanding) - I see the variations (that I have enabled) in the dropdown...
[Android Apps and Games] andreasy:
It works only for Google keyboard? Because I don't use it. Are you on a GE Rom?
[Android Apps and Games] 78Staff:
I'm on GE. I will try Swype also (I have it just not installed currently) and report back...

Update - yep seeing the same as you, with swype only seeing the main language, not any of the additional I enabled. Whether a Swype kb issue or SS issue I can't say, but since it does work with Google Keyboard I'd say it's something with Swype.

So I'm having an issue with the Pattern Un/Lock. My task flow basically goes like this:

* SMS comes in

* Unlock phone

* Wait 15 seconds

* Lock phone if screen is off (loop back and wait 15 more seconds if screen is on)

The problem I'm having is that the pattern lock isn't *actually* getting enabled until I turn the screen back on and off after the Pattern Lock task executes. What am I doing wrong?

I'm on 4.2.2.

I've tried the normal market version and helper
