FYI: toggling lockscreen without tasker,e-robot,etc while using TimePIN [kitkat 4.4+]

I've noticed earlier posts regarding issues integrating TimePIN with tasker and other automators to toggle between secure/insecure lockscreen based on location, etc

just thought I'd share My setups in case it helps anyone

the following disable secure lockscreen (swipe to unlock) whenever I connect to My home wifi or car bluetooth

and enable secure lockscreen (TimePIN) whenever I am Not connected to home wifi, nor car bluetooth

this for android 4.4+ ONLY

on CM11-based roms with CM profiles:

Settings/Profiles

Home profile

Lock screen mode = insecure

Location trigger for home wifi = On Connect

Car profile

Lock screen mode = insecure

Location trigger for car bluetooth = On Connect

Default profile

Lock screen mode = Default

Location trigger for home wifi = On Disconnect

Location trigger for car bluetooth = On Disconnect

on roms without CM profiles:

installed Xposed framework from here

installed Xposed module No Lock Home from inside Xposed app or from here

added home wifi ssid

added car bluetooth device

activate module

reboot

cheers :)

[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
Useful post man. I'll be honest with you, I've been running CM based roms for as long as I can remember (mostly!) and I've never thought to use CM Profiles to manage my lockscreen when the option got added. I stopped using TimePIN because it was unreliable with Tasker, but this might give me a reason to start using it again! Only problem that apparently using ART could break things. :/
[Android Apps and Games] cLogic:
I am almost the exact opposite ... lol

I have always had problems with CM on the S3 ... it was always glitchy, unstable, and with broken features

every time they hit a new version or milestone, I would check it out again .. CM9, CM10, CM11 M7, M8

I was running Omni rom which is excellent ... not cm-based ... altho cm kernel ... chainfire is one of the devs

unbelievably smooth, glitch-free, stable, fast .. plus LOTS of features like Active Notifications, Hover, Pie and Omni-specific stuff

Omni doesnt have Profiles, so used Xposed and No Lock Home which works perfect with TimePIN

then I read that CM11 M9 nightlies after aug 24 (or something) had call recording!

installed CM11 and it was stable!

added Xposed module NoLockHome and yep ... TimePIN works perfectly

added Xposed module CM11 EnableCallRecording and woohoo lol

then I looked deeper into the Profiles .. discovered the location (wifi/bluetooth) triggers ... and wow ... excellent

the cm profiles are in a single xml file ... so easy to copy and restore into any cm-based rom ... which makes it woorthwhile

disabled the NoLockHome Xposed module .. one less "hook"

have been alternating between CM11 nightlies and Omni (weeklies) ever since

I too am concerned about android L and required ART .. and not just for TimePIN

the Xposed framework requires dalvik ... in fact, if you are running ART and activate Xposed it will actually switch you to dalvik

maybe this "delay" by google in releasing L has been to allow devs more time to examine the L developer stuff

as a programmer, Myself, I support the move to ART ... always better/faster to run compiled apps than have to re-compile each time,

but this seriously breaks things like Xposed which are based on the idea of modifying the framework which is then compiled when run

plus its kinda crazy to only give devs 3-4 months to adapt their apps to run in dalvik and ART or their users on any new roms/devices willl have problems

I'm very interested in hearing how you make out with CM11 profiles and/or Xposed with TimePIN

cheers

.
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
I'll make this short cause not related to TimePIN, but yes CM has been ups and down, not always stable, but it's still one of the most innovating as well as "heavy" rom in the Android world. If there's a rom that's able to change the course of things, that would be it.

As for ART, running it currently and falling back to dalvik feels so sluggish. Not sure I want to take the chance to use TimePIN with ART though, as jcase noted it might cause issues.
[Android Apps and Games] cLogic:
I thought I'd add this, since its relevant to the cm11 talk ... altho not relevant to TimePIN

CM 11 M9+ has been stable on My S3 only because:

I use Nova launcher instead of the stock CM launcher (Trebuchet)

in debugging I discovered that ALL of the issues I had with CM 11 .. glitches, random reboots, jerkiness ... led back to Trebuchet

Nova is as flexible as Trebuchet for Home screen rows/columns, gestures, look, animations plus it is smooth, fast AND can be backed up within the app!

altho Omni's stock launcher (Launcher3) works well, I use Nova there too since I can simply backup and restore across roms in a few seconds

I use SuperSu instead of CM Superuser .. there has simply never been any comparison

this doesnt actually affect rom stability ... but I use TWRP recovery since it has always been perfect ... highly reliable backup/restore AND it is actually required to use both CM Updater and Omni OpenDelta since it can properly handle addon.d backup, then flash rom update zip and OpenDelta FlashAfterUpdate, then addon.d restore
[Android Apps and Games] vermont1998mx:
I've been using it with Tasker for at least 5 months now with absolutely no problem.

Why or how is it unreliable??
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
For some people half the time the Tasker task would run just fine but TimePIN wouldn't switch lock/unlock properly. I knew the task would run properly from other things in the task though. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] scrack26:
Same here been using the TimePIN with Tasker no problems encounter. CM11
[Android Apps and Games] GrayJack:
I have a question to devs: when changing PIN actually occur? According to BetterBatteryStats now this app is a main source of wakelocks. So if the calculation occurs every minute it could be a problem, because every minute the app wakes the phone to recalculate PIN and to apply it.

Please correct me if I an wrong.

[MENTION=4848896]GrayJack[/MENTION]

I see in your sig that you have the S3 model with internal 32GB ...

how much space is remaining?

how big are your nandroids and how long to they take to create?

thanks in advance

.
[Android Apps and Games] GrayJack:
cLogic, about 8 Gb (extsdcard), about 12 Gb (internal), nandroids (without /data/media) is about 7Gb, it creates in about 10-15 minutes.

What's the difference taking into account my question?
[Android Apps and Games] cLogic:
nothing ... I was just curious

google wants us to stop using external sdcards ... use larger internal plus cloud .. but obviously this forces huge nandroids both in size and time
[Android Apps and Games] Maaze:
thanks bro :)
[Android Apps and Games] GrayJack:
Damn, I thought you will give something related to topic.

This is total offtopic here!

Please ask such questions via PM.
[Android Apps and Games] GrayJack:
Returning back to the topic and my previous post about battery consumption.

I have performed some tests durinlg last few days.

It looks like TimePIN causes 1-2 alarms per minute - and it doesn't matter is the phone awake or not.

My question is: why it is necessary to send alarms when the phone is sleeping? No one needs to calculate security PIN in this state!

The current situation costs about 2% of battery additionally per hour.
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Not sure why you are seeing that. When my device is in deep sleep I use just under 1.5% of battery power an hour.

SkipLock

I use an application called SkipLock ,which is designed to disable the lock screen when I'm connected to a trusted WiFi or BT connection. This lets me skip the lockscreen when I'm at home or in the car, but have the protection of the lock screen anywhere else. Very handy. It works by changing the lock screen settings to None when connected to a trusted source, and resetting it to Pin Lock (or other) when not connected.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.benhirashima.skiplock&hl=en

But TimePin ignores the Lock Screen setting of "None," and locks the screen anyway. Would it be possible to make TimePin respect the Lock Screen settings?
[Android Apps and Games] WibblyW:
I achieve the same effect using Llama (like a simple free Tasker) to control TimePIN based on various conditions.

[Android Apps and Games] itenos:
EDIT: I found the solution already just a few posts up and thanked the respective posters. Sometimes better reading first before posting... Lol

I'm facing the following problem: Since yesterday the touch screen of my Nexus 4 became partially non responsive. It's a row about 2 cm high at the center of the screen. It makes it impossible to use the numbers 1, 2 and 3 on the lock screen keyboard.

Unfortunately my default pin contains one of these numbers making it impossible to access my phone.

My device is rooted and TWRP recovery is installed.

Is it possible to enter recovery and delete the time pin apk through the built in file manager?

And if yes, which files exactly do I have to delete?

My phone is not in warranty anymore so I won't buy a new touch screen. All I need is to get all my data off and transfer it to a new phone.

Thanks for help

If you have root, you can set it up by using a preference app, like this one.

But there's a problem with TimePin crashing on Lollipop, which will lock you out until you restart your device. This happens quite often, so using this is unfortunately unfeasable.

Just discovered this thread. Did a quick search and didn't find anything useful so forgive me for not reading through 47 pages........

I had an LG Optimus F3 (I'm on metropcs) and timepin worked great on it. Recently switched to a Samsung Galaxy Light, SGH-T399N, with 4.4.2 (it's rooted) and timepin started having problems and is now having issues almost every time I try to use it.

When I enter my timepin code it replies incorrect code. So I have to enter my default key - 12 digits in my case - to find that Disable All has been magically enabled after the last time I turned it off when using the phone. This has happened multiple times a day for the last week or more. Just now I had a new one, Disable All was still off but Enable TimePIN had turned itself off, forcing me to once again use the default key.

Are these known issues? Is there something I can do to stop this from happening? I've really liked this app in the time I've had it but I can't keep using it in it's current state. Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] douglascrp:
A problem and a question

I'm trying to buy it, but Google Play says "User is not eligible for this purchase".

Do you know why is this happening? I've bought lots of apps and have never had problems by doing this.

Now, a question. Is it possible to unlock the cellphone in landscape mode?

It's really annoying having to turn my cellphone in portrait in order to be able to unlock it.

Please, let me know if this feature is already implemented, and if so, how do I enable it.

Thank you in advance.

[Android Apps and Games] claytonjn:
This addresses your first question: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53892519&postcount=387

Regarding your second, lockscreen rotation is ROM-dependent. You can look for a mod in your device/ROM thread to enable it, or there may be an Xposed module that will work with your ROM.

[Android Apps and Games] WibblyW:
I now use Lollipop so don't use the app anymore and can't test, but...

For users pre-Lollipop, does using the Android Device Manager to remotely lock the phone override any PIN the app sets (at least until the next minute boundary). Is this a way to recover from being locked out of your phone (assuming you have the credentials for logging in to the Android Device Manager web site)?

the always-on encryption of lollipop is no longer an issue

you could test for encryption on and disable timepin, if necessary

[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION], just popping in to see if this is officially D.O.A. in support for TimePIN on Lollipop? It's been sometime since a last update and was just curious.
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:
Read post 497, two above yours.
[Android Apps and Games] cLogic:
the thing is ... always-on encryption was scrapped by google after all the backlash, so TimePIN could simply disable itself if it detects that encryption is on, as it did before

xposed for lollipop is a huge difference ... rovo has chosen to modify the art libraries AND art compiler itself which has huge implications going forward like if/when google modifies a library or the compiler

I have seen other apps use the same systemAdmin permission as TimePIN to modify lockscreen pin and function properly under lollipop (altho nowhere near as nicely as TimePIN) ... so I would think that if TimePIN was re-packaged under sdk 22, then it should work just as smoothly under lollipop 5.1 as it does under kitkat .. with same systemAdmin permission ... for non-encrypted devices, of course

the real issue is how backward-compatible TimePIN has to be (within the same package apk)

I am hopeful that jcase will have the time to give it a try

this app is the only thing that I miss from kitkat

[Android Apps and Games] freddy362:
So, recently I upgraded my Nexus 4 from 4.4.4 KitKat to 5.0 Lollipop. It was running TimePin at the time and when I booted into 5.0 it was still working - the time was changing and all the features of the app were working. However, after a few minutes the pin code suddenly became locked on a certain time meaning that I had to try random times between when I last used my device.

To conclude - TimePin initially works fine on Lollipop but becomes stuck after a while. It shouldn't be too hard to port it forwards for unencrypted devices imo.
[Android Apps and Games] DL2000820:
I install Timepin on my S5 running 5.0 Lollipop but when I open the app to turn it on the toggles don't move so I cannot turn off the "Disable Timepin" switch. The drop down menu works but I can not activate timepin. It's like it doesn't not register me pressing it
