User sets a master unlock code to be used when this condition exists.

Can be an option if that level of security is needed
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TJKV:
I would say this shouldn't be fixed at the ROM level at all, but at the recovery level. If user has a password/pattern in the ROM then he might expect recovery to have a password/pattern feature too considering how powerful the recovery is. This has always been my gripe :p

Sure you could say that one can go to bootloader and flash a new recovery and get around it but the app Bootunlocker can relock the bootloader after the user initially sets up a custom recovery+rom etc.That way a full wipe from bootloader is the only way to get around the password/pattern, keeping user data safe.

OFC this works only on the Nexus devices I guess, since other Samsungs etc come with unlocked bootloader. That would be Samsung's problem I would say and that people should buy Nexus devices if they want security (I'm talking about Galaxy S, S2 etc...dunno about newer Samsungs) but maybe you are nicer than me and might still consider a ROM based solution for them :)

I have personally gotten around a pin on someone's phone, a deceased relative of a friend (Stock ROM on a relatively new Samsung). So it may also be a bit useful at times but yes most cases it is better to close this hole. If we are talking about ROM solution only then the earlier suggestion of an optional protection against deletion of the said files sounds good to me, but without a master password, just a check that if the file suddenly ceases to exist then recreate it or something. ie; something totally unobtrusive and not showing the user that something extra has been added, user just continues to have the same pin/pattern in place. Maybe make it non optional and always on too.

However as long as recovery remains accessible, a suitably motivated mind can even look through slim's implementation of said extra protection, devise a way around it, and disable even the proposed protection for sure. Just create a nandroid or directly dump the partitions to a laptop, take it home and break said protection at your leisure in your secret lair, obtain a phone of the same model and flash to explore the user data :p Or skip the restore onto another device entirely and just get what you want from the nandroid!

All this assumes the user doesn't want to encrypt the device for whatever reason, because that would be the ultimate solution for these problems, until NSA has enough porcessing power to break it :p

BTW kufi, check your PM, had a small question ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
[MENTION=4790322]kufikugel[/MENTION] could you make it such that when setting up the pattern you also have to setup a PIN and if the pattern files are missing, the system falls back to the PIN unlock. Or maybe when setting up any secure lock screen a secondary fallback is asked for, users choice.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jubakuba:
Issue being...

And this IS a good idea...

But custom recoveries granting ADB access (or the native file manager a'la TWRP) without any pin lock or password of any kind...

Anything can be accessed really. Pull the entire SD card.

Deleting that file just means no restrictions while accessing the actual device.

What we need to do is lobby for Custom Recoveries to disable ADB and file managers by default...and only allow access if a pin is used.

Edit: Ninja's by TK.

And [MENTION=979520]Secondary[/MENTION] passwords...

Those files could just as easily be found and deleted as well.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TJKV:
Hehe exactly...or user has to encrypt the phone. IMHO other ROM solutions will not be any better than current implementations as far as I can tell. Although just adb and file manager restrictions are not enough, see what I said about nandroids. The access to recovery itself should be protected, AND a lower protection to protect the recovery itself (bootunlocker on nexus).

Honestly encryption is the only fool proof way.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
Ah, I thought the issue was only with Pattern. Also, I had asked in the TWRP forum a while ago about adding some sort of lock on the recovery and I basically got told no, because it could still be defeated, so why bother.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kufikugel:
Yeah I fully agree the protection for real need to be on recovery level (so slim recovery? :-p) my point on this one is that some days ago I saw videos on g+ sharing how to do this what I mentioned with step by step instruction. So a thing which ppl can imitate now without deeper knowledge. Hence my idea to fix it to prevent at least this hole.

That being said.....slim recovery with protection mode may be as well a nice idea. Kit we should discuss that in the team. Should not be that complicated to do I think.

Whatever 4 am here guys will respond to all tomorrow when I am awake again (as well the pm) if it is OK :)

Night all :)

---------- Post added at 04:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 AM ----------

Just to add something last lol about how to fix it at least I thought about to generate a hash tag from the file which gets checked then if it was manipulated in anyway. And the hash tag saved in three stages. Well tomorrow more lol.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TJKV:
Okay focusing on ROM solution only to thwart existing step by step videos then yes I vote for non-obtrusive-solution-with-no-extra-settings-options, and also no extra error messages, user needs to continue to have the same password/pin in place after an attempt to bypass it. Max a warning that someone tried something fishy maybe, IF it is required :p That's my opinion for your initial question on how it should be on the user side, very slim-like :)

Anyway goodnight to you :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
You know we're going to hold you guys to the Slim Recovery now right? ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Silentbob999:
A mechanism that block rom access if the file is deleted. Ok. Maybe.

Our device is not encrypted... thats pretty much it.

Someone really paranoid about security will encrypt /data. So we talking about rom access only.

Does this file contain the password or mechanism that lets the lock work?

Something cool maybe; a newly created one with random password sent by email. kind of password lost recovery mechanism.

A simple wipe is probably the only thing needed.

But the thing is, I am always affraid about thing that can give you brick/soft brick and ruin 2-3 day of your life. So it need to be robust and should not trigger because of xyz action a xda user may have try on his rom. What if dirty flash to/from another rom, what if this, what if that..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] efan3719:
I think a pin lock on recovery would be nice. Like can't do anything in recovery without the pin. I wouldn't want to see deleting that key disabled because sometimes it is useful if you've forgotten your passcode or pattern or as I've seen, have one set when your screen has broken.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Silentbob999:
You got a point with the broken screen... Someone that enable ADB on his phone want ADB available anytime in any situation.

Anyway, fastboot, replace recovery, adb, get back your stuff.. oups.. recovery security bypassed...

good night guys, only 23:30 here.. I guess I sleep earlier than kufi :P
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] efan3719:
That's a good point as well. And unlocked bootloader is the security problem. With that anything we put in place in the recovery can be bypassed.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TJKV:
On non nexus devices it is a problem, but you and me, we can enjoy bootunlocker app :)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AndrasLOHF:
Can anyone that is running the Xposed Lockscreen module and the newest experimental version of Slim tell me if the module has stopped working for them? It has stopped for me. I guess one of the hooks into the lockscreen was broken with Juba's new awesome features. Tried the usual methods to fix but it still isn't working.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] efan3719:
But then that comes back to being able to exploit things via recovery. So to be secure we'd need to have a locked recovery and bootloader.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TJKV:
ofc, I have assumed the recovery lock has been implemented, and then this tool, makes it work well enough for nexus devices without having to use encryption or rom side solutions :)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shaker2k:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] efan3719:
In most cases they are. Generally weeklies are just to bug test the new stuff before putting a Stable tag on it. Just in case there is something wrong. And if there is something wrong its an opportunity to bring it to their attention so it can be fixed.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
Hey [MENTION=3087740]Jubakuba[/MENTION], I just had a few new feature thoughts.

1. Allow to disable Pie on lock screen to make getting to widgets much easier when anchored to the sides.

2. Make Pie another unlock option. This would allow widgets to always start expanded but would not require the extra swipe to minimize and then unlock since the Pie is overlaid on top. Make the unlock Pie able to be anchored independently from the Nav Pie. I like my Nav Pie available on both sides, but think the unlock Pie would be better from the bottom. (Because see #1)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
Yes, but no ☺ I want an unlock Pie, but it should be independent of the nav Pie. Once you unlock the phone, there is no need for the unlock icon anymore, so it would just clutter things up.

I was not aware of the long press, that said, it still feels clunky to unlock. I basically envision the expanded widgets, but seeing no unlock icon. Then a quick swipe up from the bottom edge brings up a single button unlock Pie (though I suppose other shortcuts could be added here too). Could even still have your quick torch feature but now it's just swipe up and hold. I also see it as a semi secure lock screen in that there's no obvious way to unlock the phone. Sure you could eventually stumble across the unlock Pie, but it will keep the random passer by from looking into your phone.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Arjohns:
Its not extra bottom buttons. But it definitely has a number row at the top. So I would still assume it's not the Google keyboard.

I'm experiencing issues while playing internet video. I'm running franco (r36), using per app background service and... SlimRom 3.8.5 :good:.

I had issues both with Youtube (which I profiled with a perapp mode) and with TED app (which has no perapp mode set).

So the issue appear to be about "video streaming", not YT specific.

Attached there's the logcat of TED starting and then crashing while trying to play a video. The audio keep going even pressing "home" button and going around, so you can go on Gmail and send an email, during this you still ear the audio of the crashed video (awesome)!

Removing TED from recent apps, stops everything at last.

Then I started Youtube (which has a per-app mode profile on FKU) and I have the same behavior. I can see the very first frame of the video than the video playback stops and audio keeps going.

Hope the logs should be useful to address the issue and I'm available for testing.

Thank you!

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Like the pie idea. But how about just making it so that we keep the same pie but just have it so it's like the show menu option when the phone is unlocked. You have the option to show the menu button on pie never, sometimes, or all the time. Just add an option in to show unlock button on lock screen never, sometimes, or all the time. :)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Whilst we're on pie, I was wondering if there was a possibility to add a feature to it.

My problem comes with some Apps, the phone thinks its in landscape but I'm still holding it in portrait (some camera apps) and this moves pie to the landscape position. Would there be a way to lock it in position unless landscape mode + sensor orientation defined it a landscape?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
I suppose that could work, though it kind of defeats the purpose I'm going for with a quick unlock, unless this dynamic button is large and in the center. I don't want to have to look at what I'm doing to unlock. The current unlock ring allows that, but can't have the expanded widgets. Also, what do you need access to on your standard Pie from the lockscreen? (not being snarky, generally inquiring as our use cases are obviously not the same. ☺)

Yes, I did use the slim aio gapps. I have also tried a factory reset, which did not work as well. I then went into recovery and wiped dalvik, cache, system, and data. I then reflashed the current weekly along with the slim aio gapps, and still no dice. It still shows designed for tablets, and incompatibility with various apps.

I tried clearing data on the other services with no success, either. Unfortunately, it looks like something I may have to live with.

Think kufi said a couple weeks ago, built in dpi changer is possibly in the cards (no guarantee though). As for others...the team is simply recoding/rebuilding alot of the rom. So I'd guess even if some past features do make a return, they may not look quite the same. :)
