***REQUESTING INFO FROM USERS! SEE LAST POST!!!*** Screen Locker v1.0.1

Hey fellow XDA members!
I was using my phone and accidentally clicked a bunch of things xD
So I was like, well it would be nice to have a way to lock my screen but still see it lol.
Then I saw on Facebook where someone said "I really hate when I give my phone to someone to look at a picture and they swipe left or right to look at other pictures"
So I made an app that you can lock the screen and disable all touch input, it also disables the status bar from being expanded as well. Also consumes button presses
You activate the lock by either long pressing on the search button, or a notification
To unlock your screen again, just enter a pattern which you created I love this app Hope you guys do as well!
Donations appreciated! Thanks are loved!
UPDATE 10.31.13
- Fixed home button issue
- Temporarily fixed recent apps issue
UPDATE 11.1.13
- Removed trying to close recent apps, instead screen is completely black and you can only unlock it, nothing else will unlock it. and you cannot see what is on the screen. (labeled as b1 for "beta 1" as im not sure how many people will like this method.)
Downloads temporarily removed.

This is a genius idea!

Tried it on HTC DNA was able to use the back and the home button. Using either, the notification shade kept rolling itself back up. These are capacitive buttons on my phone. The touch was disabled though.

Nice work with this app. It works like a charm on my Nexus 7 2013. I've featured it on the XDA Portal.

Also I forgot device has no search button and in the full screen mode for gallery app no notification pulldown is available. I know gallery lock down was a focus for the app.

Great minds, great works
I haven't used this app yet since im in the office now but I just cant wait to try this
This is something I was really looking for but never thought that someone like you will make an app for this too
Great work mate :good::good::good:

I'm curious from a dev standpoint - how do you handle the home key presses? Or does the system level alert cause them to be ignored automatically?
EDIT: A home key press bypasses the app. Maybe add an option so your app can be a "launcher" as well.

sounds promising and useful! the screen is locked but what about the the home button and the back key? can others bypass the lock by pressing them?

Easy to bypass

Unfortunately, as Rayjr13 mentions, hitting the home or back button unlocks.

wow great idea! your the man

Brilliant idea!
I have two little things though:
I use SlimBean's soft navigation buttons. These buttons can still be pressed when locked by your awesome app.
I have my hardware buttons disabled. It would be nice to have a way to link a software button to lock the screen.

nyc app BUT
on my desire X stock android 4.1.1 JB i can still use my home button after turning on the screen lock. and from there after it gives home scren i can navigate to menus. it defeats d sole purpose of this wonderful app. please fix the bug and disable all buttons and touches once app is activated. thanks..

Stock Samsung galaxy s3. Used home button and took me to my wallpaper. Unable to exit app. Unable to input gesture. Only way to exit app was restarting phone. So while it works as promised. If I passed the phone over to a friend they and press the hold button only option left for me is hard reset and this is a problem for me and I'm sure others. Otherwise this is a great app and has great potential. Keep up the good work. Look forward to a fix.

I found a bug. When you press the home button you will go to your home screen, and if you long press it, you will have access to all recently used apps without restrictions. The settings could be there...

Should be a great idea. Unfortunately I do not have search button. The only physical buttons I have are the power and volume buttons. And, for all full screen apps, I also cannot callup the notification to activate SCREENLOCK. In fact, I have most apps mod to full screen, meaning that I have no means to activate your app for most of the time.

The buttons will still be pressable, however, the back and menu buttons should be consumed by my app. The recent apps menu is kind of tricky to override, as system windows usually have a higher priority, like my S4 has multiwindow, when you click the little button to expand multiwindow, you can still access the apps and leave whatever is locked. I have a few ideas to fixing this that i will have to test and try myself. It is only version 1.0 so there is lots of room for improvement!

Woohoo! Nice! Thanks a million!!

Addressing the issues!
Hello everyone! Thanks for the awesome feedback for my app!
I would like to address the issues stated:
HOME BUTTON PRESSES
- This is next to impossible to completely consume. It was patched back in froyo or gingerbread i think. However, there are other methods I can take that will prevent this.
1st. I can make my app behave as a launcher app, meaning, when you press the home button, it will ask you which app to use as your launcher, you would select mine, then in my app, i would ask you which app to use as your actual home launcher. Then, when you press the home button, my app will get launched, it will do some checking, then if the screen lock is enabled, it will simply ignore the home button press, but if the screen lock is not enabled, it will navigate to your actual home screen. (Probably the prefered method)
2nd. The home button will take you to your home screen, however, the screen will remain locked. (Kind of like this option cause you can then detect if the friend or person was trying to be snoopy xD)
3rd. The home button will take you to your home screen, however, immediately after it will relaunch whichever app you locked and re-lock the screen.
I'm not too sure which option I will pick, mainly depends on device compatibility, I'm thinking the first and second options will be more compatible with more devices. So I will test those two options and if I like them both, I will include both options in the release.
UNABLE TO ACTIVATE IN FULLSCREEN
- Again, multiple fixes to this problem
1. You can use my "Clock in fullscreen" app to show a clock in fullscreen, then pressing the clock will expand the status bar.
2. I can listen for when the foreground app goes into a fullscreen state, then create an onscreen button, Clicking the button will lock the screen and remove the button, unlocking the screen will unlock the screen and show the button again. ( I probably will go with this approach) I might even make this an always showing button, or at least an option.
I think those were the extent of the issues, I will get working on it as soon as possible! Thanks again everyone for the support! Thats what makes any app wonderful, is the KIND support from the users instead of silly belly aching xD
Have a wonderful day everyone!

The other issue wasn't addressed but it may be a nonissue with the planned fixes. But when the lock is active and the back or home button is pressed, the notification shade continuously rolls up. I also never attempted and also didn't hear anyone ever say they were able to unlock their phone with the gesture.

Keep up the great work.
Here's a suggestion:
In SlimBean you have the option to "expand desktop" which hides the status bar as well as the soft navigation buttons (optional). Check the GitHub here: https://github.com/SlimRoms
Might have some leads on how to do that.:good:

Hey - thanks very much for the tip. Haven't come across this before, but it looks like just the thing as we await xposed and or cm. Unfortunately, can't get it to work - it requires turning on universal switch, and doing so crashes my settings due no doubt to a conflict with something I've frozen... Will try to figure it out, but thanks again...

Can anyone tell me if the All in One Gestures app works on the S6 Edge? I have a S6 Edge rooted. I installed All in One Gestures app. I setup up the app to change my recent apps button to Menu and I made the long back press into Kill app. BUT when I exit the app none of my remap changes work? All my buttons work like the normal stock setup. I have accessibility enabled and all that. I'm wondering if this app does not work on the new Lollipop version on my Edge? Does anyone have any words of wisdom for me? I'm trying to remap my buttons. Thanks.

Thank so much for this thread, I didn't even know any of this was possible. I've just come from 5 prior phones with a menu button, and I hate the Recent Apps button there. I ended up making that button do nothing (I already have the backlighting disabled), set long press on the Back button to be Recent Apps, and long press on home to Voice Search. It still doesn't give me the Menu button that I want so badly, but this will be much less frustrating. I just wish I could assign screencap to one of them. (It takes me about 8 tries to successfully get a screen cap w/ power/home.)
Anyway, thanks again!

Re-map buttons
Bueller......................Bueller.............

Personally I use Xposed Additions to re-map buttons, but you need to be rooted and have Xposed Framework (idk if it's Lollipop compatible yet, I'm on KitKat).
Xposed additions is fabulous, so if you can try and get that. You could also try Pie Controls from the play store (no root needed) and it'll let you access on screen versions of any buttons you want.
Hope that helps

Xposed Nope
Xposed does not work on Lollipop.

Change Recent Apps Button to Menu Button
Finally figured out how to remap the Recent Apps button back to Menu....
Use a root explorer (I used X-plore with root enabled).
Go to
/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
Backup file Generic.kl ( copy it as a .bk or something )
Then open the file Generic.kl using the text editor within X-plore.
Then find the word APP_SWITCH linking with the code number (mine is key 254), change APP_SWITCH to MENU. Then reboot and your are done. The Recent Apps button is now back to being a Menu button. Life is great.

I have S6 edge rooted... Tryed everything and could make All in One Gestures app works, but never assigning the menu button. I think the option of having menu is not enabled in S6 rom.

Remap the Edge
That app didn't work on my edge either. But fear not my fellow Android addict! Just edit your Generic.kl file! Change the quick app to MENU. See screen shot for file location. You want to edit key 254. Change that to MENU.
BEFORE DOING THIS COPY THE ORIGINAL Generic.kl file AND NAME IT SOMETHING ELSE like Generic.org. That way you still have the original file in case......

Um..... what IS this and what do you DO with it? Is this a replacement for the bootloader, ROM, what? And is it functional with screen off or just with it on?
Nice idea, but a little information please. I get what it is supposed to do, but beyond that I'm unsure.

Are there two of you typing?
Seriously though, is an invisible button (like the wind, you can't see but know is there) located on the right side of your status bar (that's the one on top where your notifications and clock are). When you tap it the screen turns off (like pressing the power button). If you long press it the power menu comes up (like long pressing the power button). If you don't touch it nothing happens (magical, right).

It is a simple statusbar. XML replacement (plus a couple .PNG files are added). I had to include the resources.arsc also. The systemui would cradh ifvi left it out. A public ID was probably created for the png files. The one with reboot in the power button menu also has resources.arsc replacement for the framework-res and the complete services.jar file is replaced. You flash the zip in recovery.

I can confirm that your being a bit dense.
It's pretty darn obvious it's a flashable zip.
Take a step back and consider the thread name and section its posted in. Then have a look at the download itself. If you can't connect the dots let me know am I'll try and clear things up for you.

Here's some pics. This zip creates a restore zip in a folder called ozop. However, several things are going on here. If you have other mods. I would be happy to make a custom restore if you like. If you are completely stock, it would be easy to make you one.

Does your ROM use layers? Some mods won't work with some layers.

Here's some pics. This zip creates a restore zip in a folder called ozop. However, several things are going on here. If you have other mods. I would be happy to make a custom restore if you like. If you are completely stock, it would be easy to make you one.

Hi OP
This ozop.zip is in the root folder and should help to restore.
I tried with Nexus 5X (running on AOSP based custom ROM "PureNexus") and it bootlooped..... It is unfortunate that it didn't work for me...

Doing all the steps, but after encryption, phone reboots and when i open nova launcher and go to settings - accounts it still says "This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device". Tried on Moto XT1541 by the way.
Any suggestions?

You must be doing something wrong friend, I did 3 different XT1541 and everything worked as intended.
After Encryption (using DPC 'set up Owner' method) it will allow you to add a new user without inputting old details. You don't have to add new user, just going into settings and doing factory reset should also work.
Guy from the forum made video of the unlocking process, please watch and try to find your mistake - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJl_cq04LY8 (just ignore the part where he is looking for/installing Device Provisioner, it's not necessary)

Actually, seems like on some devices (if not all, pending verification )it's going to launcher after SECOND reset.
So that would mean it's only necessary to install the DPC Test, do encryption and restart 2x times after the encryption is done, shortening the whole process a lot!

On Test Dpc not showing 'Set up device owner'

Post screens of what you get in the DPC app. Also, fully charge your phone's battery.

Uhm, so weird. Maybe you did something wrong. Method still working, just did XT1541 last week.
Might be you have some latest update and Motorola fixed it, but I highly doubt it.
All I can suggest is - wipe and go again.

I Do Everything ! but Not Success Dear ! :'( i think this method cant working in new sec patches!

Just did it again - still working on Android 6.0.1 with 1 March 2016 security patch. If anyone has any problems let me know.
P.S. This time after initial 'phone encryption' I had to re-run Test DCP manually (bypassing Google login with Nova launcher shortcut, as described in the first post).
After running it for the second time it finished setting up the admin profile. Then reset phone, login with new Google account.

You should be able to access the same menu through Apps-Google App-Notifications (app name might be different, going from memory).

Remap Bixby manually & using all in one gestures; Bind to flashlight [ROOT]

The bixby button is an absolute waste of a physical key on samsungs part, and ever since I got my S8 a little over a month ago I've been trying to find a way to completely remap the key without any of this bypass nonsense that flashes bixby for a moment before proceeding with your action, or returning to your home screen etc. I'm currently using a rooted S8 on renovate ice r155, with the latest AIO gestures & Tasker.
I highly recommend using MiXplorer as a root explorer, you will need one for this. Basic knowledge on using tasker will help too.
Thanks to redplate, j91co & kuaka as I've pieced together their help in order to make this work on my phone.
Links to threads here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/root-remap-bixby-button-o-app-t3601061/page10
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-active/how-to/how-to-tasker-to-assign-flashlight-t3396760
So I have made a little tutorial on how to re-assign the key; this must be done manually and does not require an app for anything other than more extensive actions.
Therefore there are two parts to this: manually re-assign the key, and linking the key to all in one gestures.
Re-assign the key:
(1) Open a root explorer, and navigate to root: /system/usr/keylayout
(2) Copy generic.kl and rename the copy to generic.kl.bak
(3) Open generic.kl and edit as text; either rename to .txt and revert back or use MiXplorer to edit directly
(4) Find '703'; it should look like # input_fw Intelligent Key for Dream key 703 WAKE (or 'WINK' depending on device version, its ok)
(5) Simply rename the entry in capitals, for example WINK to VOLUME_DOWN
(6) Save the file, reboot.
(7) If any issues, restore the backup.
Link to AIO Gestures & Tasker
For this example I'm going to show you how to use AIO gestures with Tasker to toggle the flashlight with the bixby key.
(1) Manually re assign the key as shown in the first part: use something not commonly used. I used the function DVR. Save & reboot after changing this.
(2) Download tasker & AIO gestures. Grant root permissions and accessibility permissions in settings.
(3) Open AIO gestures and go to the hard keys section; 3 dots in top corner > custom keys
(4) Press bixby, it should display what you assigned it to. In my case it showed DVR. Press add.
(5) It will now be shown in the list of hard keys. Press it once to open the menu. You can choose anything you like, im going to assign it to a tasker shortcut:
(6) Swipe to the 'shortcut' section and scroll down to task shortcut
(7) Add a new task, and filter for 'torch'. Set ' toggle'. Press back, and again.
You should now have your bixby key bound to flashlight. I've tested this and it works from the AOD too. Enjoy, and please give credit to the great oaks who figured this all out cus im a flop and couldn't have done it without them
Of course if you know how to use tasker and stuff you can do whatever you want with this, take full advantage of that button! F#ck samsung for forcing the stain bixby is into our devices.
by is on us.
I haven't tested myself, but apparently this method also works with all of the bixby apps removed.
If somebody would like to incorporate this into an app, that'd be mad and you'd be a legend for doing so.
Here is a list of some actions I have accumulated from some threads you can assign to the key:
VOLUME_DOWN
VOLUME_UP
HOME
POWER - Power menu
MUSIC - starts your favorite music player
CAMERA - Open camera
APP_SWITCH - App switcher
VOICE_ASSIST - Google Assistant
SYSRQ - Take screenshot
CALENDAR - Open default calendar
CONTACTS - default contacts
MESSAGE - Default messenger

I guess you have never heard of the BxActions app, on xda and the play store... Remapping of Bixby button, without root even. Works great

I've used all those apps and each of them have a quirk where it flashes open for a short time, or sends you back to the home screen. In my opinion it's not an elegant solution and just isn't fluid enough, this way bixby doesn't show up at all and it works from everywhere.

Can I open a specific app on my phone with this?

BxActions can...

Interesting, always used a free version and had some sort of quirk. Maybe it's improved since I last used it like the other week, but it never blocked bixby properly.
Whilst it's a nice app, you're also heaps limited to what you can assign the key too so bringing tasker to the table gives you pretty much endless possibilities.
Maybe the Devs will see this thread and incorporate this into their app for free....

Yeah, a recent BxActions update made it so Bixby doesn't come up anymore. There is an extra one-time step to take with the PC (don't need adb or anything special), but it's super easy, doesn't install anything extra, steps you through it, and takes all of about 30 seconds. It has just about every option I can think of for reassigning the button, including ability to customize actions for a long press or a double press of the button. It's come a long way even in the last few weeks in my opinion.
Although, it's nice to have options, that's what I love about Android. I just thought I'd present another option in case it wasn't known, so thanks for your post!!

Cheers for that, I had no clue they had fixed up all the blocking stuff, I'd love to check it out but I've completely removed bixby in favor for rebinding it lol. Still, that's mad that the dev has sorted it all out without the need for even adb or root; I might check it out as some point as the only thing limiting me currently I'm not sure how to configure it for double and long presses, could be my lack of knowledge with tasker, I'm still learning all this stuff.
Does BxActions have tasker support?
Anyway cheers for letting me know, it's a communal effort to get rid of Bixby

DUDE....I HAD TO MAKE AN ACCOUNT TO THANK YOU! This mod make all the Bixby disabler app obsolete! You should put this in theme and mods, it really deserve more notice!

My thoughts exactly!

I recommend Button Mapper (from XDA developer flar2) from the play store. It can remap every key, and you can assign actions for press, double press and long press, too. It also has a long list of actions you can assign to the buttons. More, it doesn't need Tasker to be installed.
It has rooted and rootless mode; in rooted mode you can launch the actions even without unlocking the phone. It is very smooth and light, it doesn't flash the screen when Bixby button is pressed.

BxActions does all that and more apparently, as BxActions will let you launch the actions with the phone locked, even without root... Also doesn't need tasker, is smooth, light, and doesn't flash Bixby, and does single, double, and long presses, and is also from an XDA dev...
Wait, just realized you said "remap every key", as in remapping of volume keys as well? If so, that's kind of cool, even though I don't need that for anything...

Button Mapper does all the Bixby stuff for free, has more actions to choose from, also allows you to remap other buttons, and if you have root, is faster, more reliable and will give you even more options.

Thanks! I'll check it out.

I've checked out using button mapper as an alternative, and discovered only the volume keys work with the display off / device locked. Whilst it is more usefull than aio guestures, it completely defeats the purpose of having an easy to access flashlight key, considering I'd have to unlock my phone. Found that bixby actions doesn't work at all now due to remapping the key (plus im too much of a stinge to pay for long / double press, everyone with an S8 should have had this from the factory but I see nothing wrong with charging for hard work).
Found a new thread describing a method using 'Xposed edge' (pro ver here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jozein.xedgepro&hl=en, free one too) that supposedly does all these things plus double press, through using xposed, however im a bit skeptical using this as a solution due to the current state of xposed atm.
If anyone else knows a great tool that can remap CUSTOM keys, from anywhere (aod, lockscreen, home, in app), that supports long, double and single presses I would be forever grateful.
Whilst BxActions seems like the best solution to remove bixby (from the perspective of all users) at this point in time, I've just glanced through it to find a lack of tasker support (guess you could build your own tasker app and launch it but that's trek and a dirty solution), but cheers to jawomo for his effort with this and everyone else who's contributed.

I checked out button mapper, but still prefer BxActions since it works with the lock screen without root... Nice there are so many options...
I agree that it shouldn't be needed and we shouldn't have Bixby forced upon us when we pay as much for a phone as we did (or are)...

Thanks for this. Anyone know of a way to get it to work with the screen off? It works with the always-on display, but not if that's disabled and the screen is off.
Also, I'll warn everyone else not to do what I did on my first attempt. I used Total Commander to copy generic.kl to a non-root folder, made my changes there with TC Edit (part of Total Commander, but it can't get root access to edit system files directly), deleted the original generic.kl, then moved the edited version back to /system/usr/keylayout. I don't know why this didn't work, but after a reboot I was unable to use any keys at all - not the Bixby button, not the power button, even the on-screen keyboard refused to appear. I could unlock the phone with the fingerprint scanner and open apps, but I couldn't restore my generic.kl.bak since I couldn't delete the .bak part with no keyboard. Thankfully I had a very fresh system backup I could restore, though I'm sure I could have also renamed the .bak file with ADB. I tried again, this time editing generic.kl directly with ES File Explorer (instead of using Total Commander to edit a copy) and it worked as it's supposed to.
