Task changer module obscures touch events.

Earlier today I was trying to activate device admin apps under Apps ---> 3 dots ---> Special access for Tasker without success: tapping the 'Activate' button didn't trigger any response and the screen stayed on the 'Activate device admin app'.

At the time I was a bit perplexed by this strange behavior but I decided to move on and tackle this issue later. Next, I tried to allow Tasker the 'Accessibility special access ---> Settings ---> Installed services' under the main Settings ---> Privacy and like the previous issue when I tapped the 'Allow' button nothing happened, but this time I got a brief prompt saying: 'Because an app is obscuring a permission request, your response can't be verified'.

Searching Google gave me mostly results that suggested I should toggle off one by one apps under 'Appear on top', but that didn't resolve the issue nor rebooting the phone.

After some time of trial and error I found that disabling Task changer module resolved both issues and I was able to turn on the Device admin app setting and the Accessibility special access setting. Re-enabling Task changer module brings back the issues that I described above.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus exynos variant.

Android 10 One UI 2.0

yes, sometimes just typing on the keyboard triggers recent apps or home and sometimes recent apps wont trigger even when you already swipe up half of the screen. activating VPN also needs Off/On to be able to press the okay button
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sherpa25:
Thanks for the tip. It seems to address some, but not for "swipe left/right at the bottom line to move Recents back and forth". Hope they fix issues on next release.

BTW, anyone know where issues are reported for these Nice Lock apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] salisbury_steak:
Task changer also breaks the neat animation when you go to your home from an app.

I've decided to just disable task changer all together.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sherpa25:
Tried that (ie. opened Yaata messaging then back to Home) but couldn't notice a difference with TC On or Off. Perhaps maybe because my animation is set to 0.25x (c/o Samfix).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] salisbury_steak:
You also need to use stock samsung home to see the animation effect I think. It should look like the app minimizing/collapsing back as an icon/folder on your home screen. Real treat to look at imo. And yeah, my animation is scaled at 1x (reduced animations selected tho).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] yamaec:
Good day, friends!

I encountered this problem, when enabling the task changer module in many programs, the bottom row of buttons stops responding to spen.

When I disable task changer, everything works well!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PlutoDelic:
They destroyed task changer, bloody hell, i cant even swipe through the tabs in Chrome anymore, or those random home swipes when typing on the keyboard.

Also, something disabled the "Swipe down for Notifications" on the home screen. What a mess.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sherpa25:
Yup, quite a few issues when Task Changer is ON (back read and you will see some posts on them).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Isaac_T:
I see that people have different issues on Android 10. Well, I updated to Android 10 yesterday and I use NiceLock with Task Changer (list), QuickStar (center clock) and Routines and everything is working like before, no issues.

I did a factory reset after Android update so maybe that helped. Well, thanks for this modules!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
So since the thread has gone past the release week shock, hope you are enjoying it [emoji4] Lockstar and clockface are expected to update tomorrow. Due to my current timezone, there may be a couple hours delay, but will try to minimize it.

Just let me know if you have any ideas/feature ideas to improve NiceLock, cheers everyone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PlutoDelic:
Try Task Changer with Google Full Screen Gestures, and witness our pain.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Isaac_T:
Okey, I only use Task Changer. I tried the app Full Screen Gestures when I was on Pie and it was no problems, but I haven't used it since upgrading to Q.

But now after reading your post about gestures, I went back to settings and I saw the settings for more gestures (I haven't explored Q so much yet). But my Task Changer with list still works fine with the gestures on, or maybe there's a bug I haven't found.

Well, all swipes that I know of is working fine for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Conito11:
I have some problems with s pen ... I can't use it at edges of the screen very well... I don't know what to try...

Also split screen is worst than before. Now when you trigger split screen with gestures or from recents it shows the main screen... such a useless thing... maybe it will fix this on next updates.

Cheers

I have a question... it is possible to trigger recent or split screen from spending bottom?

Like which components do need good lock app? Just verifying, as those I use don't seem to make a difference whether good luck is installed or not (ex. Task Changer still doesn't function correctly).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PlutoDelic:
Good Lock 2020 + Task Changer + Google Full Screen Gestures resulted on a lot of unwilling touches, forced "task change", and bottom screen swipe failures, all DUE TO THE BLOODY ICON appearing when one used it.

Which frankly, they made the option to remove it available with the latest update. So that's settled.

What ICON are you referring to, that's causing the issues and can be removed?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PlutoDelic:
Literary the drag button that appeared with A10 support.

PS, i take back the "fixes", Task Changer still renders a lot of full screen apps/games useless.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sherpa25:
Don't know what that 'drag button' is, should that appear too in the Note 9? (Perhaps you mean 'literally'?)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PlutoDelic:
Definitely meant "Literally", poor "literary" form lately.

LockStar 2.0.00.0

LockStar 2.0.00.0 has been released today (Android 10 only), installed it on my Note10+ (with Android 10) and NiceLock is still saying "Update available"...

With other words: can't start the new LockStar in NiceLock... :(

Is this a "bug" in NiceLock, or in LockStar [MENTION=4333387]xantrk[/MENTION] ?

Latest GoodLock-app is also installed on my device (which is obviously not working in my country...)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sherpa25:
That's the background blur effect, as the description says, not an icon/drag button :). Yeah, hope they get it fixed w/ the next release ;)

Hi Henk,

Thanks for the heads up. Just woke up (im on gmt-3), sorry about the delay.

Similar to the multistar's last update, they changed internal behaviour and needs a NiceLock update to fix. I am pushing it to store, which will take a couple hours to rollout. I can also rollout via cloud and then fix it via update, showing it as a new LockStar 2020 module for today if you guys prefer immediate rollout?

Please let me know

That's correct it's not working; an update for Android 10 will arrive in March...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
Heads up for everyone, until the end of today, LockStar 2020 is shown as a new module. This is done in order not to make everyone wait until Play Store rolls out the update, which is kind of slow lately. At night or tomorrow morning i will delete that and you will be able to use it like before with new NiceLock update.

The "issue" of new updates (multistar and today's lockstar) they have changed launch information, although this can be fixed by just changing info from database, old information is needed for those on Android 9, therefore an app update is required.

Hi guys. I'm sorry if this question has been asked before but I can't see anyone else having this specific issue. I'm able to use Lockstar and after I'm done editing and saving the edit my lock screen is the same and nothing changes. When I reopen the Lockstar application it's back to the default setup. So in a nutshell it's not applying and it's continually resetting. I have also downloaded the Nicelock update as well as uninstalled the applications completely and reinstalled and still no luck. Anyone experiencing the same issue?

Looks like samsung is stepping away from pie support with their modules

Last couple of updates they changed the minimum api to 29

Basically the update notifier in nice lock is soon obsolete for android 9 devices.

A question for the Dev tho,

Why does it take longer for the modules from samsung labs to show upon opening nice lock?

And we have a temp lockstar 2020 icon in the nice lock launcher, which does not work nor is actually neccesary since we have the normal lockstar icon already.

[MENTION=4333387]xantrk[/MENTION] or anyone else,

What does app booster exactly do?

Something like a disk defragmentation similar like what we do in the MS windows, a better dislocation of the apps in the memory or system, clears caches of all the apps or something else ?

Because I thought it was similarly doing what the os's game launcher app does by using a single app , but using it ,I figured out that it optimizes all the apps of the phone .

Something like that happens even after all os's updates ...infact ,after installed the update, the phone reboots and after the Samsung's logo, in the bottom of the screen pops on an optimization window where you can see a countdown of all the over 400 apps of the phone being optimized.

Even strange that in the same app booster there's a suggestion in optimizing the phones apps especially after an OS's update since it happens, like I said, even by default after an update...so, at this point, I suppose that these two optimizations might not even do the same things...can someone illuminate me?

---------- Post added at 09:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ----------

I'm not the Dev , but I'll try to say what I think....

Something like this happend even for Pie when coming from oreo..infact if you can see last lockstar for pie in apk mirror, you can see that's ment only to be on Pie and not for oreo.

As you know, now we are mostly all on 10 and if your having or want to be on pie, you should install from apk mirror all the last previous versions of the models made for pie and should not update them anymore because the new one's are for 10 and, at this point, I think that even xantrk (the dev) might give a possibility to download here a previous version of nice lock only for Pie users because the new versions of it are involving for having 10 compatibilities and I think that this is even the reason for these new bugs that you reported...

Temporary icon will be removed today. Normal icon will open 2019 or 2020 based on what you have installed. This needed an app update, google was slow to process update so I added a temporary 2020 app shortcut.

The only explination of appbppster's action on the internet is this 1:

" Written by Sandy Foster:

So i found out what the App Booster app does. When you run the app, it makes a system call to turn on the Dex2Oat Compiler. That is the reason the app says that the device will get warm when using it. It will inflate some system and third party apps on the phone for the sake of increased performance, because it compiles almost ALL Dex code. It basically tells Dex2Oat to use the Compile "Everything" filter for apps.

This basically ensures that none of the dex code runs in the android interpreter. You should see a noticeable improvement on lower spec devices. On higher spec devices you might not notice anything. That is why this app is a Galaxy Lab app. Similar to Microsoft's Garage apps. They are experimental.

In laymen's terms, and for the people that arent technically inclined, it kinda does what this old Magisk Module use to do before work on the module was shut down, except with this Magisk module you had a way to choose a compiler filter, where in app booster, samsung chooses compile everything..."

Can someone tell me why the Clock face application doesn't show all the new Clock faces available? I know that this isn't the forum to mention another application (I'm sorry) but for the purposes of trying to explain my question I have to. Opening the Clockface application on Nicelock vs Opening the Clockface application on Finelock the design of the clockface application is very different as well as there are more Clock face options when I open with Finelock. I thought applications like Nicelock and Finelock were just meant to be launchers that are able to open the Goodlock applications. I didn't know there would be differences to that extent?

You're right ,it doesn't respond when the apply button is selected. In all fairness to you and the other Developer both applications are inconsistent with the way they work(or don't in this case)

PS I'm definitely not comparing your application with his at all. Just giving my constructive opinion to help find a solution. I respect you guy's as Developers and appreciate the work and effort put into applications like these:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
Yes I totally understand no worries.

I used the same behaviour in original good lock application for launching the modules. What you see in NiceLock, is what happens when you click a module in original application.
