I finally got logcat working (was disabled in my rom).

I'm still having the issue of the 'OpenNotificationBar' action not working. Home, Back and Recents work fine. I've attached a logcat and screenshots of what I 'think' might be the relevants bits in the logcat. I'm no dev though so I may be wrong. I'm runnning a Samsung Galaxy S5, Lollipop 5.0 (XtreStroLite 2.1 rom). Thanks :)

Did you activate Accessibility Service for LMT?

Opening notification bar should work after that...
[Android Software Development] FlexiPack:
Was your post intended to be a reply to me? If so, I thought had enabled it but I just checked and it isn't enabled. The problem is I can't enable it, I get Settings FC when I click yes to enable TalkBack.
[Android Software Development] FlexiPack:
Ahh thank you Looki75 :) That fixed it for me. For anyone else who gets Settings Force Close when trying to activate LMT Accessibility (When it requests TalkBack). I found out the reason I was getting Settings FC was because I had no Text to Speech engine installed. I installed Google Text to Speech from the Play Store, activated it in Language & Input settings. I could then active Accessibility for LMT and now opening the notification bar works :D :good:

Also, slightly OT but may be of help to someone. At first I couldn't get any logcat readout, it was just blank. Turns out it was disabled in my rom. With a root explorer, have a look in:

/system/etc/init.d/logcat

If you have a line that reads:

rm /dev/log/main

put a # at the beginning of the line so it reads:

#rm /dev/log/main

Save it and reboot.

warning from android system?

I'm on goldeneye 50 lollipop 5.0.1 tw, have been for two weeks. Today I received a notification saying "uninstall this application immediately" and it said LMT the dialog box after I clicked on the notification looked kind of like the supersu one, and the icon was just a shield. I didn't uninstall it, instead I chose ignore.

I then tried to install the latest 2.4, I have 2.3 but it wouldn't let me click install, like when you have a filter over the screen, but I don't. Weird.

I scanned my phone with avast but nothing came up.

Anyone else experienced this?

My fiancee's Nexus 5 cm12 also did this. Unsure on lmt version.

[MENTION=1864347]noname81[/MENTION] . I'm getting the same problem on my Note10.1 running Omni 5.1 (Lollipop). Also tried restoring it with Titanium Backup - the system ask me to confirm wanted to proceed with the install of a dangerous app, which I did, but the restore process is being disallowed and TB is just sitting there unable to continue. Never had that problem before.

EDIT: Rebooted and was able to reinstall the apk (ver 2.3). Restored form TI over that and all is now working fine. Weirdly I'm using LMT on my S3 using CM12.1 and have not have that problem.
[Android Software Development] AlxMAX:
I have a friend who uses LMT launcher 2.3 on a Samsung Galaxy S5 and he has got that warning. I use LMT launcher too on a Nexus 6, but the version I use is 2.4 and I haven't got the warning. It's kind of annoying thing for me because I have hidden the soft buttons and I would like to keep them hidden.
[Android Software Development] noname81:
Is it the Android built-in app scanner? Does someone have more details/screenshots? I never had such an issue on my Nexus6. Hopefully the android app scanner is not starting to tag root tools as potentially problematic in the future...?!

App not working on tab s 10.5 stock rooted lollipop

I installed this and only using the pie, no gestures. The control shows up but selecting the keys does nothing except for the key to show running applications. Back, home, menu , powermenu and selecting various apps have no effect when the key is selected. This is a 10.5 galaxy tab s rooted with stock lollipop. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?
[Android Software Development] chikimonke:
You say you are rooted, but have you given root permission to LMT? Root is needed to execute those commands.
[Android Software Development] Looki75:
Guys, read the thread!

I reported several times that LAUNCHING APPS with LMT doesn't work on Samsung Lollipop ROMs!

[MENTION=1864347]noname81[/MENTION] is working on a beta testing version to help in solving the issue.

FC when receiving notification is already solved (waiting for the beta ;)). Apps launching will be. Wait.

If you want a working version, use LMT v2.4 beta1. It launches apps ok on Samsung stock LP ROM.
[Android Software Development] Patozan:
i searched the thread for this and saw others asking but no answers, can system profiles (silent, automobile...) be changed with lmt? Thx!
[Android Software Development] buffalo_guy:
Thanks for the info although I did search the forum for hits on the tab s. Where can I find the 2.4beta1?
[Android Software Development] Looki75:
Right, because it's not specific to Tab S. I have same issues in Galaxy S5. It's a common issue to all stock Samsung Lollipop ROMs...

2.4 beta1... difficult to find indeed. Use it and have it on my SD card, but I can't find the post with it...

PM me your email if you wish and I can send the file to you by email.

Android system warning

Like a few other people I also got a system warning pop up. Mine occurred when I rebooted my Nexus 5 (which is still on 4.4); I was using v2.3 of the app.

I think the problem is that permissions aren't being declared properly? I'm no dev so I can't say for sure.

Anyway I'm going to install v2.4 and see how it goes.
[Android Software Development] DSC05:
You can also use version 2.3 on samsung stock lollipop roms. Launching apps and most normal commands (sadly not killing foreground app) are working on this version.

[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
I'm not having any issues launching any apps with LMT Pie with the latest beta - Nor with any previous version of LMT

Do the apps that you're trying to launch require root - was it granted?

For me - Google Play Music - Dropbox - Quickpic - Gmail - Lux - Viper4A etc - They all launch

[Android Software Development] Antitype:
ChromePie & LMT Blacklist Conflicting Issues

I am using ChromePie an Xposed Module along with LMT and for some reason I cannot activate ChromePie even if LMT service is backlisted for Chrome. The activation area still persists over ChromePie. So I cannot swipe from the right side of the edge to pop out ChromePie. Left edge swipe is fine. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe even if LMT is blacklisted for certain apps it still is active; however, the pie control is just hidden. Is there a workaround? Or if LMT can provide me a way to switch tabs In Chrome quickly?

I am not rooted. Just using LMT for basic navigation; Home, Back, and Overview. This problem might just be temporary and I haven't tried everything yet. Thanks.
[Android Software Development] corb06:
Sometimes on my Galaxy S6, that is running stock android 5.0.2 , LMT turns itself off. Why is that?

I then have to go into settings for LMT and enable it again.
[Android Software Development] Looki75:
I had the same issue on Gagalxy S5 with stock Samsung TW 5.0 ROM.

Poor memory management IMO.

Then I used 3C Toolbox Pro to tweak OOM limits to (form "Empty" to "Foreground" apps): 64MB/48MB/32MB/16MB/8MB/4MB.

After that everything runs fine so far (2 weeks on that setting without a glitch).

I love this app. I am VERY glad it works with my unroot note 4. I would love to see an backup/restore file option.

[Android Software Development] sunami88:
So today when I got home from work I saw I had a weird notification on my tablet. I clicked on it and this popped up,

The weird thing is I have two other Android devices with LMT installed and neither have ever showed this. Any ideas what the heck this is? I haven't installed anything new on the tablet for at least a week, it's really just a portable video screen.

P.S.

Probably should mention too, the tablet runs PAC-Rom 4.4.4 (as does my phone) and I have a Nexus 5 with a broken sim reader running PAC 5.0.2, all with LMT.

[Android Software Development] noname81:
I wished I could change the situation, but how? Whom to contact? Google? :D Lmt can do costly stuff like doing phone calls. But hey, it's a launcher!? It's also a root app and could do a lot of stuff with it, but why was it tagged as problematic?
[Android Software Development] SyCoREAPER:
Fantastic app.
[Android Software Development] sunami88:
Alright, just wanted to make sure it you knew about it noname81. Figured it was a false alarm. It would have massively changed the way I use my Android devices if I had to drop LMT all of a sudden :P . Knowing Google this was probably flagged "programmatically", so there's likely no appeal process.

Oh and I'm not sure if I've actually posted in this thread before or if I've just lurked, but just in case thank you for the excellent app. It gets installed pretty much immediately when I reflash or get a new device. A+ lol .
[Android Software Development] SyCoREAPER:
Update, apparently (despite having Root) LMT still needs Accessibility turned on. So far, with it on, this is my longest run without having issues with Back or Menu buttons.
[Android Software Development] RaymondPJR:
I only have trouble with Facebook and Google+. It can take several tries to get those two to launch sometimes. But I'm on KitKat, not Lollipop.

Collision with overlay function of other app!

Recent upate of my favorite SMS app (Textra) made collision with LMT.

I asked technical assistance to the app developer, but their reply was negative.

They said this abnormal overlay behavior was caused by third-party apps,

so they refuesd to fix.

Now I have no option, so I am asking developer of LMT.

Can I use these app togather?

Is there something incompatible method was used in LMT?

Is there a alternative way to avoid or to fix this problem?

I hope the developer of LMT would read this.

I attached visual example of overlay function.

Following is the reply I got from app support team.
[Android Software Development] IronTechmonkey:
I test Textra every now and then but wont use it untill they add save as draft and address a potential privacy vulnerability (remembering text from one thread into a different thread). That said, for what it's worth Textra and LMT seem play nice together in CM11/KK4.4.4. Also, maybe I say this out of blind loyalty (to LMT) but I'd need to see more technical details to be convinced (by Textra) that this is an LMT problem.
[Android Software Development] Looki75:
I use latest Textra and LMT 2.4beta1 and everything works OK (I don't have this issue)...
[Android Software Development] SyCoREAPER:
How do I get rid the background blur/darkening effect when LMT is activated?

Back Button and Menu button also stop working randomly despite root access. Must have accessibility enabled to function correctly.

It also appears that this interferes with ChromePie, even if I blacklist Chrome and Chromepie
[Android Software Development] Tonus1:
I had this problem a while ago.

Don't remember if it was before the switch to lollipop nor wich lmt version corrected the problem :(

What version of lmt do you use?
[Android Software Development] bnsonear:
Thank you for your interest, Tonus1.

My present LMT version is 2.4.

I have used LMT and Lollipop 5.0 since February 2015, and I have had no problem until update of textra.

I updated Lollipop from 5.0 to 5.1 at March 20th, without any issues.

I also updated LMT from 2.3 to 2.4 at March 21st, without any issues.
[Android Software Development] machostallion:
I just got a Google notification that LMT should be uninstalled immediately. Can't remember the exact wording. I'm not sure why it's detecting it as hazardous. I do have the setting set to warn of potential dangerous apps but I've been running this for I don't know how long so I'm not sure why it's picking up on it now. Just thought I would put this out for the devs to look in to. Btw, great app.
[Android Software Development] TexasRules777:
Same here.
[Android Software Development] AlxMAX:
I've just noticed this message. In the meantime, I've got the warning too for LMT 2.4. Most probably it is the build-in app scanner because there is a setting in Google Settings -> Security called Improve harmful app detection which is enabled. I fear Google has decided to tag all the apps requiring root which were not downloaded through Play Store.
[Android Software Development] SyCoREAPER:
Do you think it's because of Root or because it has the Accessibility option?

No one?

Specifically on question 1?
[Android Software Development] justaguy705:
I, too, received the warning stated above with regard to LMT permissions. My concern was specifically with regard to the ability for the app to make phone calls.

Great app, but ...................... I was concerned that any app should have the ability to make phone calls on my device (Nexus 5).

I promptly removed the app, rebooted, and was left with a device without navigation. I chose to factory reset the device, and am still left without the ability to navigate (previous, home and recent apps).

What recourse do I have at this point? I find it difficult to believe I am the only person with this dilemma. I am thinking I would have to re-sideload 5.1 ?
[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
I haven't received any warning regarding LMT on any of my 5 devices running LMT Pie - As for the ability to make phone calls - I imagine that it's because you could have the Dialer as one of the LMT Pie short cuts.

With respect to your navigation issue - I can't see how it could be related to LMT Pie...

To correct your issue - Did you:

a) Restore a Nandroid (You have one... Right?)

b) Flash your Rom and Gapps after you did a Factory Reset?
[Android Software Development] justaguy705:
Hahaha, thanks shaggyskunk for your prompt response.

a) I was waiting until I had my phone just the way I wanted it before making a nandroid - so no, I failed to make one. (Booooo me!, damn it!)

b) n/a
[Android Software Development] Skripka:
Seriously?

Even whatever launcher you're running has permission to make phone calls. Uninstalling LMT over a scare ware warning is silly.
[Android Software Development] justaguy705:
Really? "Silly?"

Unwarranted, perhaps, but the last response I could imagine from a "senior member" would be a condescending (?) one? I would have expected an informative

response, with a bit of an explanation regarding Google's history of "scare ware." Geez, Skirpa, thanks for all your constructive assistance.

Just saying .........................

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

FWIW

I chose to reset my phone to a Google backup to todays configuration, am in the process of re-installing LMT - 'cause that's the way I like it.

It was a learning experience .................. not impossible, just a PITA (pain-in-the-a**) is all.

Never go a day without learning something ....................... Google "scare ware" -----> gotcha, NOW! :)

All good!
[Android Software Development] MrKaon:
I've got the warning this morning :

Just curious why LMT is not in play store?
[Android Software Development] underskyzx:
Probably because of **** like this
[Android Software Development] mlj11:
I got the warning too, both with v2.3 and v2.4.

My PIE setup does not use any of the more fanciful functions like calling. I only mapped mine to function as per the three standard Android navigation buttons, plus a shortcut to Google Now.

Personally I feel it's unhelpful to downplay people's concerns about this. Yes, you might be tempted to look at my low post count and conclude that I'm a silly scared n00b, but I've rooted more than 10 Android devices in the past 5 years or so. During this time I've used a great number of root apps, many of which are still installed in the majority of my devices. None of my other root apps have triggered this same warning, so I think it's worth talking about since this OS-level warning is quite new to Android.
[Android Software Development] noname81:
You're completely right. We should talk about this:

"None of my other root apps have triggered this same warning, so I think it's worth talking about since this OS-level warning is quite new to Android"

--> I think LMT is just doing a lot more with its root permissions than other root apps since it needs to collect input data (touchscreen events for the gesture recognizer) and it wants to inject all kinds of events like keys, touch events, etc. and it wants to change a lot of settings. (LMT actions) And it's doing it only because it wants to be a cool systemwide launcher. :D The problem is in my opinion, that all the stuff LMT is doing, would perfectly fit to a malware like a key/touch logger and/or a trojan virus (control/inject events, do phone calls, etc.). The only thing LMT is not having is "internet permission" and I will never add a feature/action in LMT, which will need this permission.

The questions is now, why LMT was tagged as potentially harmful? In my opinion this was done because of either static code analysis where the code is just being scanned for keywords/usage of not allowed interfaces or dynamic code analysis where the scanner checks which calls are being made and which (framework) interfaces are being used at runtime. Here is a list of what in my opinion could be the problem:

- LMT has the permissions to do phone calls

--> Since this is an official Android permission I don't think this is the problem even if "money" is involved here

- LMT is a root app and is using the su binary

--> I don't think all root apps will be tagged by the scanner

- LMT starts an input context with system security permissions to be able to inject events without delay

--> This could be the problem. LMT is doing it to gain system level permissions in the JAVA world without being a system app. Actually it's the same as if you would copy LMT to /system. I know several other root apps, which are doing the same. I will watch their forums if those apps will be also tagged in the future.

- LMT is deactivating SELinux for a short moment to start the input context and to start the gesture recognition (Introduced for Android >=5)

--> This could be the problem, even though LMT is restoring the SELinux state after the service is started (~100ms). SELinux is a good and powerful security system which makes Android much more safe. But it's also a problem for root apps like LMT since they cannot do their stuff easily anymore. I saw some apps doing the same being banned from the Playstore.

At the moment I don't know how to proceed. One option could be to quit LMT development, another one to remove a lot of features to be compliant again or to find other implementations. If anyone has more details about why apps are being tagged, let me know...
[Android Software Development] Skripka:
I suspect it is mostly due to the temporary SELinux actions.

Titanium Backup and Nova Launcher (Tesla Unread) for example can both use a crapload of permissions (root, phone calls, SMS, photos, Wifi, identity, contacts). I doubt LMT has actually been flagged by Google...Rather that warning is popping up due to heuristics rules. The good old tool SELinux Mode Changer was removed from Play last week without notice or reason. Remember you basically have to agree to let Google watch all the stuff you install. I multiROM'd back to stock for a while last night and saw the warning. I file it in the same drawer with people on morning TV claiming "ZOMG YOUR CAT IS GOING TO KILL YOU!!". Someone making claims with an axe to grind, with no proof, who doesn't even try to backup their claims trying to scare people.

I say keep up your (very awesome) development. Pretty please :)

Only thing I find surprising is that, AFAIK, Xposed hasn't been branded the same....and Xposed is as security concerns go 10X worse than anything LMT does. Srsly, with Xposed basically all the permissions rules and classifications are out the window, as an Xposed module can be made to do anything.
[Android Software Development] MrKaon:
Yes I think so as well it is because of SELinux.

Recently ElementalX app removed from play store because of that.
[Android Software Development] Skripka:
Holy crap. Hadn't heard of that Flar's app getting axed. :eek:
