Hi,
I enabled the lock feature on my WinM 6.1 which i then later find it to be troublesome. Now, im having difficulty disabling the auto Lock feature.
Here is what i did, Settings>All Settings>Personal>Lock>(key in password)
I can't uncheck the box that says "Prompt if device unused for". Its gryed out.
Anyone out ther can help please
Anyone out there?
Have you tried Schap's Advanced Config tool?
Here are what I consider essential tweaks for Sprint (probably other carriers as well) Touch Pro 2 Stock 6.1 ROM. I created .reg files which are registry scripts to change values, just like PC Windows. You can open these in notepad and see what is being done, then do it yourself, or associate the .reg extension with TaskMgr >=3.1 using a file manager such as Total Commander. Then all you have to do is run the reg file from the file manager.
The reg files have both a do and undo included for each task. Files marked with "DEF" are the original default settings. Files marked with "Reboot" require a soft reset to take effect.
TaskMgr (older versions not compatible with removing reg keys - get >=3.1)

Reg Files:
attached
Includes:
HTC Keep Wifi On When Unattened On
Keeps the WiFi radio active even after the device goes to sleep.
HTC Notification Manager Off
Restore task bar icons so you can click on battery, etc.
HTC Notification Enhancement Off
Allows you to have regular windows alerts which include snooze instead of pretty HTC alerts.
Keyboard Rotation Off
Disable screen orientation change when the keyboard is slid out. I only use this on occasion.
Manila Start Menu Off
Make the start menu small in landscape orientation, and re-enable Programs and Settings on the start menu.
Sensor Rotate Off
Disable rotating of the screen when the orientation of the phone changes.
Sensor Rotate Opera Off
Even if you disable sensor rotate Opera will still do it, use this to disable.
SMS Sent Notification Off
I can't believe it was the default to notify you every time you sent a txt, disable it with this.
SMS Time Stamp Fix 2016 On
Uses phone's date for SMS receive date instead of the carrier's date which for some reason likes to be 2016 ever since the beginning of the year.
Have you seen this one?

Actually that's the reason I did what I did. It looks like that fixes many issues, but many I don't need fixed. I'm under the impression it's an all or nothing deal? I prefer individual reg files to turn things on and off at will, and they are great to share since the user can be sure what is happening and customize if necessary.

New feature in Version 1.1.8
With version 1.1.8, Secure Settings can be converted to a system app to get the same functionality as having the Helper installed.
If you wish to move the app to the system, you MUST first disable Device Administrator!
I cannot stress this enough. If you don't do this, the app will break and will be a pain to remove.
Once that's disabled, you can use Titanium Backup to convert the app to a system app.
Thank you very much for this plugin. I have it installed which I downloaded from your site. Is there any difference between that and this one, which is available in the Market? Also, does this one also require to be installed as a system app in order for some functionality to work (e.g. Keyguard Off)? Thanks.
This is a completely different version than what is hosted on the google code site.
This app doesn't require you to install it to the system. I wrote a second app that I called the "Helper" which gets installed there. If you don't install the Helper, you will have the following available to you:
Keyguard
Lock Device
Set Password/Pin
Run Command
Wake Device
And Wireless ADB if you are rooted.
Hope this helps
Ok, thanks. I will try this out right now.
hey Corey Z -
I'm running into issues where Secure Settings plugin doesn't fire if I run a lot of shell scripts. I have a task where I fire a script, wait for its exit code, then fire another script; I do this maybe 4-5 times. This happens just fine, but when I tried to test a different task that also uses a shell script, it doesn't fire and my task just hangs on the "Wait until %CMD_EXIT is set". This is verifiable by turning on "show output" and "show notification" - notification doesn't happen sometimes, indicating that the plugin isn't firing..?
Thanks for the help!
Is it possible ro reset a sim lock pin..???

So, let me see if I understand...
It works fine when you run one command, one after another but you have issues when running multiple commands simultaneously?
Is that it?

That's an interesting thought. I'll have to look into that.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Upon further investigation it looks like scripts aren't firing if I manually select the notification to end the script. I set up my profiles to make sure exactly 1 script fires at a time to avoid collisions; when they all fire and exit properly rather than being aborted, I can re-run as much as I'd like.
Thank you very much, just what I needed!

Are you referring to the cancel script option you get after you click the script running notification?
If so, that function is actually a little buggy at the moment. It may not actually cancel the script.
Is that what may be causing the problem?

That could be it! I haven't had to cancel a script since originally posting that, so hopefully I never run into it again..
This is great!
Now I am able to disable the pattern lock while connected to my Wifi.
On the Turn On/Off GPS....does that mean I can re-use an old task where GPS gets turned off when I exit Google Maps/Navigation like it used to in <2.2?
I've been using this plugin with ZERO issues to disable the pin lock when I enter known WiFi and to enable it otherwise.
@SilentSummer
You should be able to enable/disable GPS like you were able to prior to GB

Edit: Works great
this may be a dumb question, but is the helper supposed to be on the market somewhere? or is it the manual download only? I only ask because the manual download is worded like you should only use it if you have problems...
Hi,
I use a program called "CELLBROKER," and whenever I get it I need to put my password and enter ... I created a profile in TASKER to put the password ( Input - Type - "my password"), but I do not know how to use a command in linux to run automatically enter.
Can someone help me?
Thanks a lot!

The Helper is not available on the market. I currently have it hosted at my google code site.
If you want to install it, use the install option in the settings of my app. The manual download is offered if that fails for any reason.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I created a keyguard task which is triggered by a NFC event (NFC Task - Launcher > Tasker > Secure Settings).
So the Tasker task is: SS-Clear Password + SS-Keyguard Disabled + SS-Lights on.
And it works perfectly...
BUT!!
Now I fully encrypted the device (Galaxy S4 I9505).
As a result the task isn't working anymore.
"SS-Keyguard disabled" is still working (at least it shows the advice in the notification bar).
But I believe "Secure Settings - Clear password" isn't working.
Even the task is started (I put "play ing tone" in the task-chain to check this) I have to type in the passphrase.
So it is not possible to deactivate the lock screen by using a NFC tag
So I am !!urgently!! looking for advice how to enable "Clear password" as well as "Set password" in Secure Settings on an encrypted Android 4.2.2 device.
Please help. Maybe the developer can explain it in detail?
Any idea?
