(Q) Trigger full screen weather animations via Tasker? - HTC Inspire 4G

Hello all,
I've been looking for a method to trigger the full screen weather animations (like the one when we unlock the phone) via some sort of command trigger and have it binded to the Home key...so basically a tap on the Home key would trigger the animations.
In my digging someone mentioned making a script, binding it to the Home key and triggering it with Tasker. Does anyone know the how this could be done?
Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Widgetlocker Home Button fix (root)

In case somebody wants to use widgetlocker but doesn´t because you can unlock by pressing the home button:
Set the LCD Density to 319, that doesn´t destroy the backgrounds in S-Memo and everything else seems to be unaffected as well. But - for whatever reason - widgetlocker doesn´t unlock with the home button any more.
Why don't you just go into Widgetlocker advanced settings, select 'Homehelper', activate 'Homehelper Component' then activate 'Homehelper block home'.
Then the home button will no longer unlock the phone
Widgetlocker now works properly with the right settings to prevent home screen unlocking.
Density has nothing whatsoever to do with it, I wonder whether you updated to Widgetlocker recently or reinstalled/retried it recently because the home button behaviour was fixed a couple of updates ago.
I would have loved to see if home button did not wake up the screen.
I know about Homehelper, I am at 320 right now, Homehelper is on, there are no updates available for Widgetlocker and the home button unlocks.
Ok, forget what I wrote, reinstall fixed it.
Hello,
Is it possible to assign the return key to lock the screen?
I can not find the option.
On Desire HD it was possible to assign the research key.

Simple idea to have Pattern Lock AND retain Quick Launch shortcuts

Hey guys
So I was torn between pattern lock for its security, and quick unlock for its ability to quickly launch apps from the unlock screen.
I thought of a simple idea to integrate the quicklaunch into the pattern lock.
The idea is this- if you hold your finger on the last dot of your unlock pattern, a quick launch menu would appear. If instead, you quickly release after you swiped your pattern, the phone would unlock.
Now I know that we can't just hack the main lock screen, but I wonder if this could be implemented as a type of widget that could be then used on things such as WidgetLocker.
Anyone have any thoughts or ideas on this?

Is there a second lockscreen app?

So I would like to have a lockscreen similar to the standard swipe to unlock (without pin). My problem is that I have mandatory encryption on my device, so it requires a pin lockdown within at least 14 minutes. But when using this option, powering on before 14 minutes goes straight to the home screen instead of a simple swipe with no pin. I would like a swipe requirement so that my phone wont go ape in my pocket while I am playing golf. Since disabling the home power-on is not an option, I was hoping there might be a secondary swipe to unlock app out there. Anyone know of such an animal?
Nevermind! Found an awesome app called widget locker that does exactly what I needed!

Way to skip Lockscreen possible?

Hi Folks,
Is there a way to skip the Lockscreen and get direct to home screen by touching HomeButton?
I am using the always info screen and thought it would be nice just to touch/click the Home Button and get straight to HomeScreen withot using a Fingerprint or passcode or anything else?
Somebody knows a way on Huawei?

one-handed mode activity?

I'm trying to write a Tasker task that would, among other things, trigger one-handed mode on my S8+. Simulating the triple home button press doesn't work as it's too slow, and I don't want to use the swipe as it stupidly resets the size of the reduced screen to default (I prefer it a bit bigger). So now I'm trying to figure out what the activity is that launches when you put the phone in one-handed and trigger that directly. It does not appear to be something you can adjust through settings as I took a list of settings from adb before and after triggering the mode change and nothing was different. Any thoughts on locating this?
You can resize that window as well. Swipe from the edge of the screen as you normally do, then swipe towards the bottom of the screen without lifting your finger up.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks, that might be useful. But can Tasker simulate that input of swiping up and then down without lifting?
Update: logcat shows a few interesting messages when one-handed mode is started. The first output is "SamsungPhoneWindowManager: toggleEasyOneHand() enabled=1". Then there's some stuff that seems to control the screen shrinking animation and set up the background for the non-usable screen space, and then there's a vibration call from a package called "com.sec.android.easyonehand".
I figure my best shot at doing what I'm trying to do is to either find a way to send that toggle command to the window manager directly or figure out the right activity to start in that system package. Unfortunately it looks like inspecting the package manifest is a no-go. Anyone have any thoughts on the next step?
Edit: was able to get the manifest after all. There's an intent filter action called "com.samsung.action.EASYONEHAND_SERVICE". I've tried calling that with an am start command in terminal emulator and I get "unable to resolve intent".
So you could not find a proper solution? Im interested in this too
