[APP] Lock 2.0 unusable on Nexus One

I have had the payed version of Lock 2.0 since there was an option to buy but since I got my Nexus One it has now become pretty much unusable. The sad part is that it is better than the lock button that is on the top of the phone cause it lets you bring up the lock screen by pressing your track ball. I love all the different back grounds and sounds you can download and how they stay in a folder and not in your app draw (which is really annoying). Now the thing I don't like is that when you press the volume buttons when the phone is locked you can and will turn down or up the volume on accident and this is why this app is now unusable. Can it really be that hard to add an option to disable these buttons? I have emailed Android Apps and they say the reason the volume button does that is for when you are listening to music and thats great but whats the use if when you get a call or text and you can't hear it cause you turned the volume down to 0 on accident. I emailed them today again and asked if they could update their app and I hope they do. The reason I started this thread is so anybody could comment on this problem with I have to say is probably my second favorite app on the market. I will also email them a link to this thread so they can see what everybody thinks. One more thing on another lock app LockBot when you press the volume button the sound does not get turned down but I don't want to really pay for two apps that can do the same thing. Edit: OK they fixed it but their is a new problem with the home button.

What rom are you using?
Cyanogens latest has an option for trackball wake-up (and of course that mod can be applied to other roms as well) if that is indeed the biggest thing about it you like. I personally never saw the need to change my lockscreen from stock, but can understand why some people do.

I am using the stock rom, I didn't want to root this phone since you void your warranty and mine is pretty messed up I should get a replacement this week. Also I am glad Cyanogen added that and that tells you it is a problem in the stock or he wouldn't have had to improve on it. So people like me only have the option of downloading an app to get the same results. Also I have used a rooted phone before, I had been using my Google Ion rooted for about 6 months before I got my Nexus One.

Ok I just got an email from the developer and they have disabled the volume buttons by default on the new version that was fast. Now there is a weird problem where even after you set the Launcher as the default for your home button it still keeps opening Lock 2.0, its really annoying but I already told them so I'm sure they will fix it. Now if only Google would respond like this for their "Support Forums" on fixing the 3G and Touchscreen problems the world would be a better place.

I understand the issue with the volume keys. I don't listen to music so i installed the app (ringer mode locker) by kaa from the market. It overrides the system setting and locks on your choose of settings: vibrate, ringer silent etc. If you volume up or down it stays on you set point. I like if because it is not a background app using extra battery trying to monitor a set point.

Please don't critisize Google like this, 3G issues and Touchscreen problems are not simple applications in which code can be modified to turn off the "Volume" buttons.. I've noticed the employees on their forums try to solve things to the best of their abilities - but Google can not just correct everything as if it takes a small flick of the wrist, or click of a mouse...
Honestly I don't see how they will fix any 3G issue entierly without modifiying the insides of the phone.. guess I dont know enough about phones to make such a conclusion anyways.

I emailed them about this a couple of weeks ago. I told them exactly that and I got a "Steve Jobs-like" response lol..
"Something is wrong with your phone."
I even posted about it a couple of times in the Q&A section but got no responses. I'm glad to see someone on a stock ROM is experiencing the same issue because I thought it was due to using CM. Are you using an auto task-killer?

Get "KeyGuard disabler" from the market. It costs 1.49 but does exactly what you want. I'm sure there are free versions of similar software too but this is only one i've ever tried.

wow dude just tried it! works perfect! thanks man!

Meh....
After installing and trying to use it, I finally gave up. It has the potential to be by far one of the best android apps. The developer has designed programs that mesh with android so natively that I am jealous of his understanding. But even after a few reinstallations, this program never delivered. A replacement lockscreen must be more than just pretty. It wasn't sized right for the Nexus One screen and constantly froze "Updating List", even when I was just trying to unlock. The "Updating List" freeze causes a loop that just recalled the freeze when I hit home. There is no escape short of hitting menu, more, home, then selecting my home screen program. I would consider that a lock screen fail if I have to navigate a menu to select a home screen instead of sliding the sexy little slider over. I hate taking refunds from the market, but Lock 2.0 needs more work. If I see anyone saying it has been adjusted for the N1 screen and the home bug has been fixed, I'll buy it again, but until then, I'll stick with the just weather and toggle widgets.

I hear that Lock 2.0 disables notifications on the Nexus One. Does anybody know of any apps thats just as attractive as Lock 2.0 that doesn't disable notifications or freeze.. etc.. (something iphone-ish i guess)

Any news about the home button bug bypassing the lock screen in Lock 2.0?

As far as a can tell its been working good and the dev added the option to clear the home screen default if it does it again. Its pretty sad that he left it messed up for months until I sent him the link to this thread.

Thanks, but I was referring to another bug (unless I'm totally mistaken):
When you turn on your nexus and you're still on Lock 2.0 lock screen, if you press the home button, it unlocks the phone without having to use the slider.
Hope this was clear...

[Q] Several Sensation Questions

I've had mine for nearly a week. I'm pretty sure I'm going to keep it and finally ditch the Grand Old HD2. I've managed to get many of my questions about this phone answered here over the last few days, but here are some I'm not convinced I know the answer to...perhaps someone can help:
- Can I adjust the number of rows/columns on Sense screens? I'd been using HyperDroid CM7 on my HD2 for a while, and seeing, like, 4 icons on the entire Sensation screen is corny/cartoony. I'd like to get more stuff squashed onto each screen.
- Can I add/remove Sense home screens? There are 7. I'd like to change that.
- Can I change or add more buttons to bottom or home screen? I see, from left to right, the apps, phone, and personalize buttons. I'd love to dump the personalize button, shrink the phone button, and add several more.
- I'm pretty sure many of the things I want to do are not possible with just an out of the box T-Mo Sensation and HTC Sense...so, are there apps that lets me do any of these things?
- Can I adjust when backlight goes off? I seem to be able to only adjust the amount of time the entire screen stays on.
- Auto-brightness is wacky. I'll just be sitting somewhere, in what seems like perfectly level/stable lighting conditions, and the screen just arbitrarily dims and brightens every few seconds.
- How do I get rid of that irritating page-by-page scrolling of apps list? I'd like one long, smooth-scrolling list. And is there a way to have a favorite apps list, other than placing them on the home screens?
- How do I turn off the dial/key press sounds when I'm dialing a phone number?
- I get a lot of static when I use my BT headset with the T-Mobile silicone case on the phone. If I take the phone out of the case, the call is much clearer. Any way to otherwise compensate (so I don't have to take the case off all the time)?
Thanks.

The quick answer to every question right now is no. The slightly longer answer is yes, but you will need to install a custom launcher: Launcher Pro or ADW come to mind first. They won't get rid of Sense and will actually use up more memory, but what you want will be accomplished. The really long answer is no, but soon. Most of what you want to change are things built into the HTC Rom. S-Off is supposedly coming soon. The great devs of the forum are hard at work. Once they do that, the bootloader will be unlocked, the cooks will do what they do, and we will begin to see custom Roms. Then you will have your removed bloatware, customizable anything, different launchers, stock-Sense lite-Sense full-CM7-MIUI-or anything else you can think of Roms.
The day is coming. We will have a true superphone any day now.
Best wishes.

for the backlight off thing go to settings->brightness and uncheck the box next to automatic brightness and adjust the slider to your liking
To take off the sound while dialing go to settings->sound and uncheck the box that says Audible touch tones
hope it helps

Thanks for the sound setting info. I know about the automatic brightness setting. Turning off doesn't fix the fact that automatic brightness doesn't seem to work.

Any idea how to, when using the Mail application, to move to Next or Previous messages? No swiping motion I'm trying is working, and the best I can find is Settings and then the arrow keys. It'd be much easier if there was a button or swipe right on the message screen itself.

You mean the unbranded one. The t-mobile version has bloatware on it, the rest is the same.

Actually, I believe the internal portion of the antenna is different too. The Tmo Sensation have 4 internal contacts areas for antenna and the international unlock one has 3. People were claiming that to be the problem with the death grip reception issue. Idk if the newer unlocked versions have changed yet. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I have moved across from the HD2 also and i find it irritating that i cant set both backlight off and power off as separate items.
Had the HD2 set that the backlight went off quite quickly to save juice, but it was set to not power down for one minute after that so just a quick screen press would bring it back up.
the Sensation powers down exactly 8 seconds after the screen dims and there is no setting to change that period !!

I don't have to reboot too often, but when I do, I usually get a "Set current time" pop-up message stating "Unable to detect your current time zone. Tab below to select a city." Then is has a menu with various time zones in it. I select Eastern Time, and click Done. But why does this keep coming up?
All the threads I see here and elsewhere on the internet (yes, I cheat on XDA) seem to assume the network is not providing the time information, so we need to uncheck the automatic time update setting. But why should I have to uncheck this? And how will that impact me when I go to another time zone?
Thanks.

you can somehow:
i used the "more icons widget" it lets you add 4 icons in a place of usually one.
So the 3x1 icons would consist of 11 small icons (+ 1 settings button) available from 1x2 to 1x4 and inverse. Works great on this screen

Auto Hide Taskbar

Hey bro i get this app from the market Honeybar it work great with root access.
I work with touchwiz work 100%.
Program tested MX Video Player,Dolphin Browser HD.

It works well and I suggest using Button Savior in conjunction. Barely seen my taskbar in a week

Works pretty well, main problems I have with it are accidentally re-enabling the taskbar in games (tapping near the bottom), and also accidentally hiding it when trying to hit the 'menu' button in portrait mode. They're too close together so it's hard to avoid hitting it.
I asked the author about the possibility of other trigger locations, or gestures, and he responded but didn't sound like he planned to do anything soon.

I installed HB myself, and although it is nice in some ways to get the taskbar (I use that reference with tongue'in'cheeck) out of the way, there are too many apps I have that place "menu" in the location of the hidden button even when I set it to shift left. Many apps I have to rotate to landscape to get to the apps settings menu hidden behind the shift-left positioning for HB. It's just not a sound UI choice.
The option to just leave the taskbar hidden and use Button Savior is better, but it's like using one hack to make another one work halfway correctly in its effects. HB needs more development and it doesn't look like it's going to happen as of now.

Thanks very much for your info. Yeah... this Button Savior is a real true name in case of the HoneyBar's gone somewhere..

Problem I see with using Button Savior all the time is that you do lose the notifications.. and then it's still easy to accidentally bring back the real bar when playing games etc. Oh well.

I don't know about the games... the notification is hiding except the sound but the real trouble is when the call is coming.... you have to activate the task bar to bring back the panel "Answer or Denied" (!!!)

I did indeed get quite angry at the loss of notifications but I was able to (sort of) get around that by changing the screen density to 171 using Blade Buddy. This set me back to a 2.x launcher.
It doesn't really work 100% however as browser, Gmail, Google Talk will constantly crash. I was able to work around the browser by just getting another browser and Gmail by uninstalling the Honeycomb version of Gmail and installing the Gingerbread version. I didn't care enough to do anything more than uninstall Google Talk.
On the positive side I no longer have to deal with the taskbar. Ever.

Does the Gingerbread version have the Gingerbread UI? i.e. without the multi-paned stuff? I tried loading a Gingerbread version a while back but it didn't work (just crashed). I prefer Gingerbread style -- more room for the content rather than lists of labels.

Yes this is exactly my only issue with honeybar. it would be nice if we could choose the right side as the "offset". Even in portrait I have space just to the right of center that would allow access to honeybar on/off and not interfere with the menu on a lot of apps.

There's a much better way to do this. Using tasker, I have a profile set up that auto hides the toolbar for certain apps and then restores it automatically when I switch away from them.
Follow the instructions in this thread:

Yes but how do you switch away from them?

That is actually what I am trying to figure out how to do. I am trying to set it up when in specific apps it takes away the task bar but also only within these apps after something... (haven't really figured that out yet) happens it will bring it back for an exit. In a perfect world I would love to be able to press both volume buttons to close an app. Which in this case would be perfect but tasker can't do that...

I'm using task switcher pro. It lets you map a gesture to the back button or home button.
Sent from my GT-P6210 using Tapatalk

what might be cool is to "shake" device to bring back the bar.

you guy also can use AutomateIt... kind of like tasker but to me it more friendly user...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123423
and the pro version is cheaper too...

Using tasker I did manage to make the bar go away by shaking. Instead of setting programs to do it make it toggle the bar by using a shake. I don't have it in front of me to do step by step but if someone wants me to I can put it up.

I would most certainly love to see that "How too" Zadeis.
Thanks.

Here you go!

OK the link smaug408 put up leads to a guide on how to set up a task that when an App starts it will remove the bar at the bottom. The thing is though you no longer have a back button and get out of the app unless it has a dedicated exit button.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301857
I take no credit for the premade files for tasker. The thanks goes to the creator Quietthinker through that link.
-First Open the link and download the attached StatusBarToggle.zip and place the files into /sdcard/Tasker/tasks (in this case you will only need the StatusBarToggle.tsk.xml, the StatusBar_Hide.tsk.xml, and the StatusBar_Show.tsk.xml files)
-Second open tasker and go to the "tasks tab" and tap and hold the Tasks Tab at the top. An options window will come up but select Import and import all of them into tasker
-Third go to the profiles tab and tap the Green plus at the left and give it a name. ShakeToToggle can work but you can name it whatever you like.
A context window will popup and you will select Event and then the Sensor Category and finally select the Shake Event.
You can mess around with the setting for the shake gesture now or tweak it in to your liking after everything is set up up to you.
-Forth once you have the setting you like press the green check mark, select the StatusBarToggle task and you are done. Now when you shake your tablet side to side it will make the status bar go away.
Now I just happened to figure out that you can shake instead of using an app for the context. I take little credit for how this works.
This method requires Super User Permissions. It will ask on the first toggle of the bar if you allow it to remember it afterward, if not it will ask each time.

Great app. Works perfectly

Torch Light Setting

I have found a nice Torch Light setting. If you set it 'on', when the screen is off, a long-press on the Volume-Up key starts the light. A press on the Volume-Down key turns it off, and there is a configurable time-out too.
Here's what's odd: I cannot find it in the settings anywhere, but found it though adding an 'Activity' shortcut through SSLauncher (my shell of choice). This one is named TocrhLight IIRC, in case anyone wants to install the free version and try it.
I have found these Activity settings to be a huge mine of hidden features, or at least shortcuts to deeply buried settings. In this case, I think the feature is actually hidden. Room for a dedicated app just to set this setting, I feel.
Apologies if this is obvious or posted elsewhere, but I could not find it anywhere.

Hello,
thank you very much, that was what i was missing from my note 2.
I used Activity-Launcher from Play-Store to start this Setting.

Hm, might be useful.
Though personally I'll stick to Flashlight HD. It has a widget which is a flashlight toggle.

If you are rooted and have xposed framework installed, you can access the hidden setting via installing Wanam Xposed from the Google store.
Just a heads up.

You can download the Activity-Launcher app (as Rivendel noted) and open it. Scroll down to 'Settings'. This opens a loooooong list. Scroll waaaaay down to 'Torch Light' (there are two IIRC), and press it. The settings screen is shown. Sett the settings and 'back' to get out.

Is this working reliably for some people? For me it's not unfortunately. It usually works after I have just turned off the device, but when it's been idling for a while then I can't activate the flashlight this way. Bummer.

Torchlight
Since I upgraded to SM-N9005][NOTE3][KitKat 4.4.2][XXUENA6]_BoBCaTROM_EVO_v4.1 it does not work. Probably it is a bug and hopefully soon will be fixed. The corresponding setting appear in WanamXposed but does not work. Does anyone perhaps has a fix for it?

What do you mean by "does not work"? The setting page does no longer show up?
Since on the actual "working" of the torchlight things are already complex on 4.3 - the torchlight only works if the CPU is not in deep sleep! (this however probably explains why that setting is hidded).
I am still using that torchlight with a trick - since only the Power and Home buttons can wake the CPU from seep sleep I press on Power twice SLOW, and only after that I press and hold Volume Up - that way I still get to start the torchlight with a single hand :good:

[hidden setting] flashlight settings
I mean that thoug setting page show up, switch on, but no results. I long-press volume-up and there is no torchlight. I reached the settings in WanamXposed [hidden setting] flashlight settings but no result. I use 4.4.2 Kitkat. Probably it is no linger supported in Kitkat.

I am still using that torchlight with a trick - since only the Power and Home buttons can wake the CPU from seep sleep I press on Power twice SLOW, and only after that I press and hold Volume Up - that way I still get to start the torchlight with a single hand :good:

I just added a widget through widget locker, which I can interact with. Works great, power button > tap widget :good:

Using an app called Torchie, just press both 'volume buttons' together to turn on/off torch anytime. It runs as a background service and just works anytime, even when screen off (if enabled from Torchie Settings). It kinda make your phone feel like a conventional battery operated torch.

[Q] Arranging apps in alphabetical order

So the menu button used to be on S3 / Note 3 / etc other Samsung phones has been replaced with the recent apps button. Is there any way I can sort the apps in alphabetical order instead of the manual way now? I liked that feature in my Note 3, how do I go to settings page in an app without the button?

Pressing and holding the Recents button for 1 second mimics the Menu button.

I tried doing that, but it came out the split screen function? :/

That's odd. Double check your Accessibility settings to see if there's something in there causing that behavior.

i think it's default, i'm on t-mobile and any app i have open, long pressing recent apps button goes to split screen mode. I do however have a moveable floating menu widget that i can move around and also tap to show a menu screen for a few of my apps.

If that's the default, that's brutal. I really hope my Canadian S6 isn't going to be like that.
Worst case, I guess there are always ROMs or root-based mods.

In the upper right corner of the app drawer is the sort alphabetically button.

How on earth did people not notice that?

Because for a lot of people the option simply isn't there. I believe it was added in a software revision that went out some time after the review units were sent out, but that's just speculation.

Ah okay well then that makes perfect sense

The Canadian S6's are like that too, you can rearrange the apps how you want them but no alphabetical. Also, you need lightflow to control the LED, I'm coming from the oneplus one and I miss the control of the LED!

Uk S6 doesnt have option either, really irritating not being able to auto arrange. why on earth did they remove that?!

On my sprint s6 I can sorry by ABC from an icon in top right of the app drawer... I click it... And it sorts them...

OMG did they really get rid of this? It is not there on the Canadian model.

Also removed on german Vodafone model. :/

Also not on the Australian model on Telstra.

HA! So I move to the country yesterday and the first thing I do after getting over my jet lag is go pick one up. This phone is awesome! Truly the only thing bothering me not being able to sort my app drawer.

Funnily enough if you can be bothered you can still move all the app icons into alphabetical order.....
