[Q] Galaxy Ace The End 4.0 Rom issue - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I got some trouble, no program can unlock the keyguard on my Ace.
I use Tasker with Secure Settings, and stuck on a job, when the phone should awake itself and unlock the keyguard (aka "slide to unlock" screen), but nothing happens.
Also tried other programs, such like No Lock app, with fail.
In conclusion I think is something wrong with this rom,
I hope for some help if anybody sees this, who know that rom.
Notify the developer maybe or sg...
Thanks in advance!
ps: I hope this is the right way I use this forum, not sure if wrote on the right place.

Hi, it probably is the dalvik vm error, it has been corrected in vo-1's 26 march rom. I don't have time to update the end rom , so I suggest you use his rom or another of the newer roms based on vo-1. You can probably get away without wiping data since they are the same base.

workaround
I've found a nice workaround, and therefor I can keep my beloved The End rom.
Just had to check the unlock with Menu button option in CM settings, then simulate the keypress with Tasker. Works like a charm.
In every other aspect this rom is perfect for me so far, I don't want to change it.

[Q] Turning off the "slide to unlock" on TnT lite 5

I have searched here, and only (for the g-tab) found answers that point to apps to disable the unlock bar. I would like to turn it off. Permanently.
On my Eken M001, there was a setting in scriptcmd to toggle the "slide to unlock" bar. Of course, using it required re-flashing the rom.
Is there a way to accomplish the same thing here, with the same effect?
I am using TnT lite 5. Oh and BTW, Roebeet: you are awesome. Please never stop doing that voodoo you do.
Dan
why?
just curious as to why you would want it disabled
This may not be what you're looking for, which I'm guessing is just bypassing the lock screen entirely, but WidgetLocker (not free) allows you to use a press of the back key to unlock -- you can determine how long the press needs to be. Does a lot more than that actually, but since the custom sliders it uses don't seem to work well with a tab, I use the back key to unlock on mine.
I use switch pro. Comes with a bunch of toggles including this.

Because I put my tab down often, and pick it up often, and past experience has told me I dislike 'needing' to unlock it. With my Eken, the choice to 'slide to unlock' or not was mine without using an app, or the resources it consumes.
I'll look for switch pro. Widgetlocker has been a major resource hog on my phone, so I'm not likely to go that way.
But, as I said, if there is a hack/mod, I'd prefer that.
"No Lock" app does this

Better Lockscreen

Hello,
today i tried the face unlock feature and i think its a funny thing! Dont discuss about the security, i know the situation!
But my thought was, cause i was looking today about how to show missed calles/sms on the lockscreen tried different things but nothing what satisfied me, I want to change the stock lockscreen a little bit.
First i want to show missed Calls/SMS/ maybee notifications, kind of iOS5.
And know actual thing!
For this example you choose in your settings face unlock and a pattern.
First you press your unlock key, the screen will shown up with notifications if you have one, if not, the screen will be clear as is also now.
Immediately after the screen is shown, the face unlock will search for you face if it found you face it will nothing happens at the moment, if not also nothing happens. The important thing is here is no preview like it is now, cause you want to see the notifications!! So the whole thing is in background!
At the bottom is also the circle thing what you know of the stock thing without a security check. Drag it to the right to unlock, if face unlock is successful you come to your homescreen if not you need to enter you pattern, with a fancy animation, again like on the iphone.
This would be my first android project, so where can i get the jelly bean 4.1.1. source?
And my question to you android genies, do you think it can work without a custom rom?
For sure i will publish my work if i get it to work!
Please tell me what you think about my idea! If someone would also try his luck with my idea, go on it would be nice if you dont tell everyone its your idea! If someone wants to know who had this idea before they can google and find this thread!
I'm kind of excited!!!

You can't do that, because the phone does not come with proximity sensor, so it have to show the "double tap unlock"
It's pretty annoying, I know, I've got one.

Honor 6x BLN-24-cannot press "allow" for any app.

When an app asks for permissions, Allow and Deny options show up (regardless if for storage, or camera, etc.) but the allow button does not work. Deny works fine. So far i have unlocked the bootloader via Huawei website method (i guess you call that official) and flashed twrp. I have not rooted the phone yet (getting to that, but one problem at a time) and this is the first one.
I also saw someone else ask, but with now answer. Is there a way to get rid of the splash scren about the phone being unlocked and not trustable, press power button again to boot?
Do you have an special theme activated? Use the standard theme and try again
My 1st question to you is... when the window prompts, do you flag the option "don't ask to me again" or not? Because if yes, the only option avalaible becomes the "deny" one. This mechanism confused me too some time ago, when i wasn't understanding why it was blacked out; Android takes your flag as an "what a bore, just shut up and go **** ya' self leavin' me alone" answer, so it automatically deactivate the possibility to let it pass even one more time. If you didn't checked the flag, i have another question for you. Did you maybe recently made an update OTA, or with an update package found online? If the 2nd answer is what u've done, do a check for being sure that you have updated the phone with the correct package model. (BLN-21, BLN-22, ecc.) If neither this is your case, begin to tell us something more 'bout your phone configuration and start to think to backup your data and do a factory reset for eliminate this weird issue.
For the question of yours about the Nag screen (the splash one, for being clear) at the moment there is nothing that we can do to avoid it to pop out; just skip it pressing immediately the power button, is the best advice that i can do so far
I'll attempt to answer all these at once since I just got home from work. I wouldn't believe rooting the phone would cause this issue, but the problem happened before i unlocked the bootloader so I think that rules that out. I do not use a special theme, but I do use squarehome launcher for my phone, not the standard android launcher. Problem there is, the problem occurs with either launcher being active. And theme wise, I have a 3-d live aquarium for a background (which if turned off and just a static wallpaper, the same behavior occurs). As far as the phone update goes, it was an OTA update from 6 to 7, so still using stock, nothing sideloaded or flashed (yet). My data is all backed up via My backup pro, and doing a full backup with TWRP onto OTG is not a problem. I prefer not throwing in the towel, since setting up squarehome perfectly is a pain in the ass, but if it has to happen, it is better than manually setting permissions for every app that needs them. Not sure what a screenshot would do, think of any app asking for permission to use phone storage, both the allow button and the deny button visible (in white, nothing grey) and allow doesn't respond where deny responds fine. and then i have to go in manually and grant the permission after the fact. I suppose I could just root my phone and give that a whirl, seems some bloatware needs to be removed anyway, and i have the SU sitting on my hard drive already. Thanx for the responses, and let me know what you may have come up with before I just factory reset it which as mentioned, I am dreading doing.

Hi, so you have unlocked bootloader but not rooted? This is maybe problem, you need to have rooted phone if you have unlocked bootloader for fully using phone. Can you post some screeshots?

Well, I didn't think that would be the answer, but you, sir were right. I rooted my phone and it seemed to have fixed the problem. I don't believe I made any other change whatsoever. Thank you very much. Glad I tried it anyway as you suggested even though I didn't think it would be the answer. I am not above saying thank you, and I was wrong. Kudos. Maybe this will help someone else. Good thing is, I planned on rooting it anyway, and you just kicked me in the pants to do it.
Rooted but allow button is still not activated
Hello guys,
I wanted to activate app twin so I rooted my phone BLN-L21 android 7.0
Allow button still deactivated.
Also the boot screen that asks to press power button still exist.
I noticed that if I activate whatsapp twin it won't work simultaneously .
I.e : when you open whatsapp you get all missed calles & messeges.
Also I was able to download themes through themes app ,but now it just views the local themes.
Note: superSu is installed.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you
Well, I think this is not related to OP (or at least partially), but when unlocking bootloader after setting up SD card as the default storage can break some things, like default themes.
Try to restore your firmware, and then unlock the bootloader.
If successful, you can now set up SD card as default storage.

[URGENT HELP PLEASE] with Substratum & Andromeda

Hey guys
I'm new here and was wondering if anyone could help me! I have just downloaded and followed the instructions to install and use Substratum & Andromeda for my S8 plus.
I followed all of the steps up to getting myself a theme. Once the theme was installed my screen went black. I wasn't too bothered at first but now my phone is unusable! The only thing I am able to access is the camera by double tapping the lock button. The phone still vibrates if I get a call etc but I can't unlock it.
I get a message that pops up over and over again saying 'System UI has stopped' And the only option is to 'Close app'
I'm not gonna lie guys, I'm an absolute noob when it comes to this stuff. Is my phone gone forever or can I fix this?!
Cheers!
Perhaps some help?

Need some more information to help identify what you have installed last, or more specifically the offending overlay perhaps that does not agree with the "SYS UI"??? Next will be to ask if you understand or have any knowledge working with "ADB" as this will be needed to remove the offending "APP" installed you installed? Having asked this and having been in your shoes, I will tell you that if you have not ever given permission on a connected computer for "ADB" to have access to this phone you have put yourself in a place that a FACTORY RESET is going to be your best solution. I have found other ways to get into my phone using Bixby, as it can uninstall APPS but you would need to again know specifically the name of the offending APP.
My final thought/suggestion would be to spare yourself any further headache and just commit to the FRESET and then Google/Learn your way into an understanding with ADB - it can save you a ton of time while you learn about moding your phone:good:
