Hello,

Is there any way of transferring my block list from my old phone to my G3? I currently have 77 sales callers I'd like to never hear from again.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joey-UK:
I have ever so slightly punctured the battery while trying to remove it when i was doing a screen replacement.

I'm assuming i do, but do i need to replace the battery.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You should to be safe yes
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
Quickly replace the battery and get the device and outer shell cleaned with alcohol or similar agent. The liquid/acid in the battery is poisonous!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joey-UK:
Thanks, i am changing the screen anyway you the area with it on is getting binned. Will have to wait 4 days without a phone now to get the replacement battery :crying:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camarda:
The same thing happened to me when I had a Nexus 4. But I just continued to use, and with the time, the battery life was worse and worse... Until the battery inflate and explode. At least I got a reason to buy the Nexus 5 :p

This module is a rather simple yet useful one

It allows you to open different apps or launcher shortcuts using different PIN codes/patterns

This is NOT for security, infact it reduces security (more passwords, so more chance of getting it right)

It simply allows you to set shortcuts

EXAMPLE USAGE

Set 1111 as password for "Phone" app

Set 2222 as password for "Messaging" app

Set 0000 as normal password, from Android Settings app

Then, when I type 0000, it will unlock as normal

When i type 1111, it will unlock and then launch "Phone"

When I type 2222, it will unlock and then launch "Messaging"

It should work with PIN and password and now also patterns!

This mod can be found attached to this post or in the Xposed Repo

Please also consider the pro version, it is an in app purchase within the free one

[Xposed Framework Modules] sharkie405:
Working perfectly on my S4. Thanks!

I don't use pattern unlock, but the more options available to the user, the better, right?

- Sent from my Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk because the XDA app sucks.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mnsk:
It's a long shot but if you could add tasker support to this, I can't even imagine the different scenarios we could use directly from lockscreen. :D
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
A lot of people have asked for Tasker support for many of my mods

The truth is I don't know how to make Tasker plugins. I don't even have Tasker

And what would it do in this case anyway?
[Xposed Framework Modules] mnsk:
You could directly ask the developer of tasker. He will surely help you.

And I think there is something on his website also for integrating support.

I could create any task, such as switching on mobile data and launching an app simultaneously.

And that task will be triggered by your module when I enter a pin or pattern.

It's all depends on your imagination after that. ;)

---------- Post added at 03:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 AM ----------

I just realised you are also the developer of fastscroll, very handy.

Looking forward to this module.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Edwrib:
If you add shortcuts (that same of launchers) people can call Tasker from creating password actions for shortcut.

Waiting for pattern to test :D
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
If I just add support for shortcuts instead of just apps then would that be OK?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Edwrib:
For users that want call Tasker tasks, yes.

Exist one app called auto shortcuts, they can call Tasker tasks with shortcut.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mnsk:
Yup it will work.
[Xposed Framework Modules] thahim:
Very nice ill give it a try.
[Xposed Framework Modules] shmykelsa:
Please make it with activities too
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
I think that will be in donate version
[Xposed Framework Modules] shmykelsa:
I'll pay for that then. It's such a great module. Keep it up!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Goliath27:
Anyone try this with Timepin as their lock screen? Don't want to test it and lock myself out with conflicting lock issues!
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
If you get locked out just use ADB to delete the password. Google for instructions
[Xposed Framework Modules] abell431:
Can't wait for pattern support! :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
We would have it by now but my laptop is being slow haha

I ditched Windows yesterday in favour of Linux and its transferring my stuff
[Xposed Framework Modules] Goliath27:
Knew that already and was being scared after a previous lockout.

So it works good with timepin but it doesn't unlock the device. Time pin uses two types of locks:

1. The default lock code, used when you first unlock after booting

2. The Time unlock code, which changes every minute.

I'm using this module to set the Flashlight app as an unlock code. I didn't really need it to unlock, just to turn on the flashlight which it does very well. But to turn it off I would need to unlock my phone the normal way.

TL;DR - it doesn't unlock the device if you're using time pin, but does activate the set app when the code is entered.
[Xposed Framework Modules] huzaifah29:
Hey so I just downloaded the module and immediately upgraded to pro. But when I tried it it doesn't work on my phone?

I have a HTC one m8 and there are no custom ROM settings to interfere with it. I set my pin as 1234 and set normal password in the app as 1234. But any app shortcuts I try (5678) just don't work.

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------

So I downgraded to 3.0 and the app seems to work now. But for later versions it doesn't. Can you please find a fix for this in the next version?
[Xposed Framework Modules] WarBorg:
any updates on this ? thank you
[Xposed Framework Modules] WardellBagby:
Haven't been able to look at it until now. I'll let the dev know what I can figure out.
[Xposed Framework Modules] zorg93:
I'm also having a similar issue, Only 3.0 works for my phone(OPO with COS 13). I tried 3.2 and 3.2.1(from play store) and everytime I create a pattern it saves it in the pin/password list, instead of pattern list, as some random string of text. Downgrading back to 3.0 and it works perfectly again.
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
Loads of people are having the issue yet I'm unable to reproduce it. If anyone can help me test please PM me
[Xposed Framework Modules] zorg93:
I didnt have screen pinning enabled when i tested 3.2(though I never bought it so never used the screen pinning features) could that be causing any issues?

EDIT Just tried 3.21 with that setting enabled and nothing changed. Patterns still weren't getting saved properly, Instead they appeared in the Pin/Password menu with something like notsetproperly... as the password

EDIT 2: 3.1 also seems to have a similar bug however that just wasnt saving any pattern shortcuts
[Xposed Framework Modules] WarBorg:
hello,

is this project still being worked upon?

[MENTION=5290145]hamzahrmalik[/MENTION] I can help you test if you want
[Xposed Framework Modules] FdeKlerk:
Hi. If this worked on samsung MM then sure i would buy it. But it does not.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mcguider:
Good morning. I need to block an icon in the upper drop down. "Saving energy" in a mobile Huawei P8 lite. Can you tell me that application should lock?
[Xposed Framework Modules] GuessWhatBBQ:
I just bought the pro version and issue still persists [MENTION=5290145]hamzahrmalik[/MENTION] Is this issue being worked up ?

And could a backport or something be done to v3.0, with the pinning feature only,to see if it actually is an error on the code side
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
This is what my app does if you have normal lokaceeen

You enter password

If it is actual password nothing happens

If it is a shortcut my mod intercepts it, opens shortcut, then tells Android that you entered your real password and thus unlocks the phone

Since timepin changes the password my mod can't tell it that it was correct and therefore it doesn't unlock
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
Can someone make me an icon or this app, greatly appreciated thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] hotsauce32:
Had a minor issue on my Sprint Galaxy S3 (stock TouchWiz, 4.4.2 KitKat). I can't seem to get it to work with the Phone app, it just tells me "Incorrect pin". Has anyone else with a TouchWiz phone experienced this, or just me? Minor workaround is to select the "Contacts" app instead.

Also, I have two camera apps, the stock TouchWiz one and the Google Camera. They're both named just "Camera", and in my app drawer, the Google one comes up first, the TouchWiz one second. I tried assigning one PIN to the first camera in the list (the Google one), and another PIN to the second camera (I assume should be the TouchWiz one). However, both PINs bring up the Google camera only.
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
I too experience the phone issue but don't know about the camera one
[Xposed Framework Modules] TheMaurice:
I got a problem with my nexus 4 running paranoid android 4.42 (android 4.4.4) and this module.

I set up the module with a WhatsApp shortcut.

Then when I want to use this shortcut on the lockscreen it says "wrong pin". Then, when I enter the correct unlock pin it unlocks and whatsapp is already opened.

The rom got the "quick unlock" function activated, so the phone unlocks without pressing enter after the pin. Is there any connection between this two things?

I love this module btw.

Greeting
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
Try without the ROMs function
[Xposed Framework Modules] BakaB:
looks awesome, can't wait for the pattern version.
[Xposed Framework Modules] kenkiller:
Pattern support please......
[Xposed Framework Modules] bikenerd101:
Definite pattern support needed
[Xposed Framework Modules] davexd97:
Definitely a great app! It's great to unlock the phone and have the app we wanted ready to use, it saves me a lot of time! Working great on Touchwiz 4.1.2 stock, i just have to reboot every new pin i add otherwise it won't unlock, is this normal?

Edit: Well, it is not working for the phone app, it just says the code is wrong everytime. The other apps work great..
[Xposed Framework Modules] MOHIT.S:
Please could u make this module work with xposed for gingerbread framework???

m sure it will increase d utility for a lot of GB users...nice wrk thou!
[Xposed Framework Modules] arqbrulo:
Ok, not quite sure what you said. If you don't mind, please answer this: did it work for you with TimePin? Thanks!
[Xposed Framework Modules] m0han:
it is contacts.apk that functions as the dialer. phone.apk is the 'in-call screen'.

so, if you're looking for the dialer to open, it is 'contacts' you must select, i guess.

---------- Post added at 11:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 AM ----------

the dev has answered: "Since timepin changes the password my mod can't tell it that it was correct and therefore it doesn't unlock."
[Xposed Framework Modules] mnsk:
With pattern support can you also add support for more pattern grids like 4x4 or 6x6.

Making it less vulnerable to open.
[Xposed Framework Modules] m0han:
just wondering if you can get your mod to ask for password again when someone tries to open, say, "Messaging" app after the phone has been unlocked (using the normal password or password for "Phone" app or whatever). example scenario: unlocking the phone for buddy to make a call and he tries to peer/leer :D
[Xposed Framework Modules] antarix:
I'm using PA on my Moto G with the same feature to automatically unlock when entered correct pin and the module works with it perfectly fine.
[Xposed Framework Modules] TheMaurice:
I got it working.

Just had to reboot a few times.
[Xposed Framework Modules] antarix:
with me it worked from the very moment I rebooted once to enable the module.
[Xposed Framework Modules] thedisturbedone:
Love this mod. But I don't know if anyone has suggested this but can you make an implementation with knock code? It would be so cool!
[Xposed Framework Modules] ImSoBored:
You could try QuickAcess (here), which, although you can access the app without any pinlock or pattern, it won't let access other apps. It is useful for the Dialer, for example. To launch apps from lockscreen, I use a launcher in the notification tray. Hope it helped...
[Xposed Framework Modules] cart00nero:
After the second reboot works OK ! Good job.
[Xposed Framework Modules] satsmagic:

the module is good, just awaiting support for patterns to make it more adaptive
[Xposed Framework Modules] abuttino:
Need shortcut support for Tasker.. Any idea when it's coming?
[Xposed Framework Modules] rabah_vip:
nice one !!
[Xposed Framework Modules] abuttino:
I'd expect a module featured on XDA to be a little better supported than this..

This is the second time it's been featured too
[Xposed Framework Modules] JoshDi:
that would be great
[Xposed Framework Modules] xDroidZz:
Great mod :) Really usefull!
[Xposed Framework Modules] yakie996:
Is it possible to add it for the knock on feature of the lg g3?? :D

I had this idea a couple of years ago but no one wanted to make a mod for it :/
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
How do you mean "better supported"

Considering its a free module and considering there are no serious bugs...
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
Pattern shortcuts is nearly done
[Xposed Framework Modules] pingu11:
You can export the task you want as an app using the tasker app factory and then assign a PIN to it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] abuttino:
You can't do this with advanced tasks that use Tasker vars
[Xposed Framework Modules] wilco375:
Awesome!
[Xposed Framework Modules] alvinpck:
Will leaving "quick unlock" from wanam interfere with this?
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
I don't know, try it
[Xposed Framework Modules] yakie996:
did you already got some progress with the patterns? or lg's knock code? If you need someone for testing the knock code I'll help you
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
Patterns is practically done, but i havent worked on it since last week

And I don't understand what you want with knockcode
[Xposed Framework Modules] yakie996:
knockcode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPYypLe8LEU
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
I known what it is

What do you want me to do
[Xposed Framework Modules] yakie996:
make it compatible with your mod? xD
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
What, knock different things for different apps?
[Xposed Framework Modules] yakie996:
no so i can do different codes in knock code to open stuff
[Xposed Framework Modules] satsmagic:
Patterns ????
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
Soon
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
Pattern shortcuts is done!!!!

Pattern shortcuts is done, you can now set different patterns for different apps

is this bug？

cannot remove pattern shortcut

on my xperia z 4.4.4 when i press remove shortcut it FC
[Xposed Framework Modules] Syst3mX:
Is it possible to make a knock code version of this?
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
That's been asked!

No because I don't have a device to test on

Ohh, sorry i was write only :eek: Thanks anyway

[Xposed Framework Modules] anuajayan:
Im not able to remove saved pattern. How to fix it?

Please help me.. it got force closed..
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
The two posts before you report the same problem

I so understand the first time, you know
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
Version 2.0.1

Fixed bug which prevented you from deleting pattern shortcuts

Also tidied up code, but that doesn't make any difference to end users

I'll be posting code on Github shortly
[Xposed Framework Modules] yakie996:
I can you give everything you need :) and i will test it for you ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
No no it doesn't work like that

Whilst making this mod I must have deployed to my device at least 50 times

Sending an APK 50 times isn't practical at all
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
Premium Version

Premium version is now on Google Play

Premium version includes option to set a pattern/pin to launch a toggle

EG: toggle wifi

The permissions are for this

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hamzah.pinshortcuts.premium

It is only 69p and i really appreciate people buying it, thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] yakie996:
ow, too bad :'(
[Xposed Framework Modules] Avamander:
Could you maybe add possibility to hide apps based on the pin entered? I haven't been able to find a app that does this.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dilshad969:
One of the best modules out there
[Xposed Framework Modules] silrosriv:
I'm having a similar problem. I set up the pin shortcuts but my lock screen says "incorrect pin" but the app launches behind the lock screen.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Wireframe Beast:
I'm using a Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530H with stock TouchWiz.

I had an issue at first with pattern lock, would not recognize any shortcut (incorrect pattern) and then the normal pattern would go right to Camera every time (apparently I made a shortcut to camera using the normal pattern and couldn't delete that one so I was stuck).

After uninstalling and re-installing I went to every step with a RESTART AFTER EVERY STEP.

It works like a charm now!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Wireframe Beast:
I I know it's been a while since any update but do you think that writing the password/pattern to the xposed log could be a security risk? Maybe add an option to not log unless for debugging?

Thanks.
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
Like you say haven't updated for a while

I don't actually remember logging the password!

If I am then I'll fix this ASAP
[Xposed Framework Modules] 1rdc:
I love this module, one of the reasons I'm reluctant to update to lollipop. I made an icon with material colours if you like :)

PINshortcutIcon
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
Thanks for that I'll add it into next build
[Xposed Framework Modules] Avamander:
Design guidelines say NO to square icons.

---------- Post added at 03:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 PM ----------

The icon needs to be adjusted to match guidelines, don't include it until that.
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
Link to these guidelines ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Avamander:
http://developer.android.com/design/style/iconography.html

"Use a distinct silhouette. Three-dimensional, front view, with a slight perspective as if viewed from above, so that users perceive some depth."

One more thing, Android is not iOS, there should not be squared icons (rounded or not).
[Xposed Framework Modules] Wireframe Beast:
So Netflix, Pixlr, Nike, SportsCenter, AnyDo, SideCuts (Sidebars), SwiftKey and the stock and official Android Video and Gallery apps and their god forgotten square icons should all be cast away back to iOS to where they belong. Bastards!
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
Fair point, gotta say
[Xposed Framework Modules] 1rdc:
I'm completely biased since I love square icons. (Using Voxel Icon Pack currently). I like the material *colours* and a lot of material design but not the round icons (and those awful navbar icons).

Anyway, Xposed for Lollipop is out (http://xdaforums.com/xposed/official-xposed-lollipop-t3030118) and this module works perfectly! Kudos to you, Hamzah!

Edit: In the spirit of lollipop, a better icon. http://imgur.com/Wq0XUm6
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
Indeed as soon as u heard I tested all my mods and this one does work

And thanks for the icon I'll look in a minute
[Xposed Framework Modules] abell431:
Would love to have this working on lollipop :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] paroariax:
Thanks for this great mid. I notice the PIN codes are limited to a minimum of 4 digits. Is there anything that can be done about this? Or is it a hard-coded restriction in the lock screen?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Arun.Gunupudi:
Hey is this working on Lollipop?
[Xposed Framework Modules] K()T!:
Feature Request??

Hey... This is an awesome module, I just discovered it... As someone was asking, I am on lollipop 5.1.1 and this works like a charm...

I was just thinking... When we use a pattern to open an app, can the app open in pinned mode...? Users can personally set up unpinning to lock the phone again... This will increase the security of this module by a lot!!!
[Xposed Framework Modules] AquilaChill:
Works fine once set up (had some app crashes & reboots while setting up..) on S4 L720 stock 4.2 MF9. App crashed when selecting an app then pressing the app select button again.

Could you add the option to not unlock when launching shortcuts? I can use App Settings to allow an app to run over the (still secured) lock screen I just need this to launch the app without unlocking so my phone is a tad more secure :)

A per pin/pattern checkbox would work perfectly.
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
I could try

Would it be sufficient for all apps to launch over the lock screen or would you rather it was selected on a per-app basis
[Xposed Framework Modules] [Yustas.NeO]:
I need the Premium version because of Shortcuts-launch, but i can see only "Choose a shortcut" string and wifi/bluetooth/etc toggles. No shortcuts, no dropdown-list with shortcuts, or else. What am i doing wrong?
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
Adding actual shortcuts is not possible yet
[Xposed Framework Modules] [Yustas.NeO]:
Too bad (
[Xposed Framework Modules] 5kyl8t101:
Great Module!

Just a couple of suggestions, display a list of all the pin and apps assigned to it. Can you add auto lock on exiting the app which was triggered by the pin or it should ask for unlock pin when the home key is pressed.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Benrap:
Marshmallow support would be great!!!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Benrap:
Is marshmallow support coming?
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
Version 2.1

Just released 2.1 with marshmallow support
[Xposed Framework Modules] Benrap:
Thanks for marshnallow support!!!!!!
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
Version 3.0

New material design

Can see existing shortcuts and remove them
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
Tasker support and launcher shortcuts!

People have been asking for this since the release of the mod and i finally got around to adding it. In version 3.1 you can purchase the ability to add shortcuts such as tasker tasks, as well as remove ads for just £0.60. Buying the mod really helps me so please consider it. Note that the Play Store is needed for the In App Purchase
[Xposed Framework Modules] [Yustas.NeO]:
So, i bought the Pro version. Where are shortcuts?
[Xposed Framework Modules] hamzahrmalik:
Same place as apps at the top of the list of apps there'll be a shortcuts option

Thanks for buying and let me know if it doesn't work
