Unfortunately, you can't get rid of all of the green. If you go into themes and choose the middle one, it will blue a lot of it, but not the Quick settings. :crying:
You can put a custom wallpaper on the lockscreen, but first you MUST enable use lockscreen gestures. Go to Settings>Lockscreen. Check Use lockscreen gestures>build gestures. It will ask you to set an unlock gesture. Set it and test it. (You can also set tons of other actions through gestures).
After you know the unlock gesture works, go to themes, swipe left to mix >Lockscreen Wallpaper>Others.. Pick and set.
After the custom wallpaper is set, You must use the unlock gesture from now on... If you use the unlock bubble,your phone will force restart.

Sorry.. I didn't even test that. I never lock my phone, I just tested it out. The pattern, PIN and password all work fine. The voice unlock doesn't set up properly.
Just so you know, I will have an AOSP 4.2.2 up and running soon if you want to check that out too.

[Q] (Q&A)How to on Jellybeen 4.2.1 EOS#4

Ok, as I have been guilty of using the Development thread for asking a user type question I thought I might kick this thread off as a "How to do simple tasks in Jellybean EOS#4"
Link to Rom and Development thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35828448&postcount=1
Its more so that I can ask questions and get them answered here so that others can also learn the basic's as it is really packed full of lots of little goodies that we have had to use other apps to do..
As I get time I will try to add screen shoots of some of the basic operations so that it is easier and keeps the development thread clean for Tim and others to carry on the work to get this rom settled.
Honestly the EOS jellybean series of Roms are great for daily use and as I was on EOS#3 for a few months, I have no hesitation in suggesting "Take the leap".
All credits go to the developers and the hours they have spent pulling this fork together.
And in case you forget how to install here it is from the horses mouth..
How to install:
Going to EOS4.2.1 from a rom < 4.2:
Backup everything !
Go to recovery
Make a full wipe / factory reset
format /system
Flash the rom
Flash gapps
Wipe cache/dalvik
Reboot
Updating from EOS 4.2.1 #XX to #YY:
You can skip the full wipe step

The following is a cut and paste from Frederuco's thread over at Asus Transformer Forum - TF101
Would like to Thank him for his work and all credits for the time spent on this already..
Is Adobe Flash supported on this ROM?
Yes and no - Adobe has dropped flash support for Android. The latest versions were for 4.0 in August 2012.
HOWEVER - You can still sideload flash. First, go to Settings - Security - Unknown Sources. Tick the box. Next, go to the Adobe Archives and download the latest version for Android 4.0. After it downloads tap on it to install it.
Flash works well in the stock Browser, Firefox, Firefox Beta and Boat Browser. Dolphin has disabled flash support for JellyBean last time I checked.
My battery is draining fast
Check your WiFi sleep settings. Settings - WiFi - Tap the button in the top right, Advanced, WiFi on during sleep - Never. Keep in mind, this is forced. No need for AutoAirplane Mode, this ROM forces the WiFi off when the tablet is sleeping.
There is also a setting for how long after you put the tablet to sleep that WiFi stays on. EOS Control Center, go to the Systems settings. Change the SCREEN OFF WIFI IDLE DELAY.
How do I get rid of the circle touchpad and get a real pointer?
Open EOS Control Center. Top right, change from Interface to System. Tap on Device Settings. Touchpad Mode. Change from Gestures (CIRCLE) to Trackpad (Arrow)
My Volume is lower than it was on stock
Most custom ROMs for JellyBean have had some volume issues. There is an app for that! It is made by none other than TimDuru.
It is the K.A.T Toolbox. K.A.T - V1.2.4 [ICS][JB4.1-4.2.1] App | Audio enhancer | Misc fixes | Scanner Filters.
Read more about what it is and how to use it in the development
Grab the latest and install it. Once installed, open it. Grant root permissions. Tap the Audio Section. Tap the Cascade Digital + Analog Levels and Link Volumes to Volume Keys. This will give you about as much volume as you can get out of your tablet. Volume levels go from 0 to 63.
The dock is using a US layout and I do not have a US dock. How do I change it?
You probably already tried changing the AOSP keyboard in the Language and input with no luck. Well, it is not there. It is buried in the EOS Control Center.
Open EOS Control Center. Top right, change from Interface to System. Tap on Device Settings. Tap Dock Keyboard Layout. Choose the proper layout and then you will need to reboot for the settings to take effect.
I have the dock, is there a way I can hide the NavBar but keep the notification bar at the top?
Yes, open the EOS Control Center. Scroll down and tick the HIDE NOW under the Navigation Bar section. If you want it hidden on boot, you can also tick the box for it.
Even if you DON'T have the dock, you can install the app LMT and set up thumb controls to swipe in from the left or right to use.
Can I hide the system bars to get a true FULL SCREEN experience?
Yes, just hold the LOCK button for 3 seconds. You will see the POWER MENU. Tap the SYSTEMBARS MODE to toggle them off and on.
The Nav Bar takes up as much room as the old Statusbar, plus I lose the top notification bar. Anything I can do?
Yes, open the EOS Control Center and enable the Low Profile Mode. It makes the bottom bar shorter.
How to Turn off Google search bar.
Question: how do I kill Google search bar sitting on the top of all the screens?

Answered by PKfox - thanks..
Hi, go to Settings/Apps and look for Google search app, you should see a button called Disable, press that and reboot, I'm on preview 148 and the bar is no longer there !

Move "jump to Apps button"
And I will go one more..
The little round button with dots that take you to the apps and widgets..
On Apex I can move this around the dock bar, it seems in the stock JB launcher its locked in the middle..
Any trick to move it like Apex launcher?
I would prefer to have it to the right hand corner.

Thanks Frederuco,
And thats a great thread you have got going over there @Asus Transformer Forum - TF101
Would like to add this one from you as well on that question..
How do I get rid of the darn APP DRAWER icon that is bottom dead center?
The stock launcher has a fixed icon that you cannot get rid of for the app drawer. You will need to check out a custom launcher like Apex, Nova, ADW or another one. I like the look of Apex myself with the App Drawer icon in the top right. Custom Launchers are the way to go IMO, so much more you can do with them compared to the stock ICS/JB launchers.
Do we really need that status bar on top?
Is there a way to get JB 4.2 with the 4.1 layout (no status bar on top, navigation/status bar on the bottom)? I've searched high a low on the interwebs and it looks like this is a no go... My biggest gripe is that the status and navigation bars are not controlled by the launcher, so not even an alternative launcher will do that trick.

There is no way to change to a Tablet UI with Android 4.2
It seems it is all Phablet UI with pull down menus.
The older style Tablet UI with the system bar at the bottom is gone.
Agreed, 4.2 is all Phablet.

I tried to change the layout to Greek but nothing happens. I prefer the stock keyboard so i do not want to use an aftermarket one. Is it possible to be added in the rom so to select it in the system settings menu? I use version 150 with kernel 92 . I am sure that the greek language was included in ICS and i was using it with success. Can that be somehow imported in this rom? When i select greek layout from eos settings after reboot nothing is selected. Is that behavior normal?
edit : as i saw when i remove all languages from asussec keyboard it writes Greek but it can not change the language in English when i desire to do so. So it is missing the ability to have selected both Greek and English language because simple Greek tab is missing. Can that be added?

The only way I've found to use different languages on the dock without rebooting is to use the paid version of External Keyboard Helper.

Best way of tuning the screen off without a power button is using GMD gesture control center, turning 5 fingers anti clock wise shuts the screen off.

Immersive Mode For Jellybean Devices

Is there a way to get Immersive Mode on Jelly Bean?
With semi transparent status bar which appers when one swipes down on the top? like in kitkat
Hi, unfortunately, currently there isn't anything exactly like Kitkat's Immersive mode, and transparent status bars, while possible, the process of enabling them on your device is very technical and potentially dangerous for your device.
HOWEVER. I can tell you that there is a way to get something similar to Immersive Mode. I'll guide you through it.
First off, you need root. I can't explain this because the rooting process is different for each device, but I'm sure you can figure it out.
Now, you'll need to download Xposed Installer. Just search for that on Google and you should find it no problem. Download and install the apk. Open the app, and allow superuser access. Now, tap Framework, and tap on Install/Update. This will install the Xposed Framework, which is needed for this process. Reboot your device by tapping Soft Reboot, Reboot, or just turn your device off and then turn it back on.
Next, open Xposed and tap on Download. This will list all kinds of things called Modules, which do fancy things to your device. Look through and find Gravitybox [JB] and tap on it. Download it by scrolling down, and when asked to install, do so. Now, back out to the welcome screen, and tap on modules. Gravity box should be listed, but if it isn't just wait for a minute or two, and it should appear. Tap on the check box to the left of the icon, and reboot your device like you did before.
Provided everything has gone OK, you're in the home stretch. Open Gravitybox from the app drawer, and if asked for superuser permission, say yes. You'll see a list of a lot of things, but you want to tap on Display Tweaks. At the top of the list is a setting for Expanded Desktop Mode. Tap on it and select hide both, and you're done!
Now, whenever you want to hide the status bar and navigation bar (That's the top bar and bottom bar), just hold the power button to open your power options, and select the option to enable Expanded Desktop Mode! When you want to switch back, just repeat those steps!
Let me know if you need any more help!
All the best,

Q&A - FAQ
Note to first time installers of MOAR
Three things are "assumed" before attempting to install MOAR:
1. You are already rooted.
2. You have a custom recovery already installed.
3. You understand the consequences of installing a custom recovery and custom rom.
This thread is not the place to ask how to root or how to install a custom recovery.
Special install note to Android 4.4.4 users:
MOAR is based on 4.4.2. Here's what you need to do:
Method 1:
See @rompnit's post ->HERE<-. This can be done without Odin.
Method 2:
1. You should have MOAR (the installer) on your internal or external SD.
2. Download and Odin the NE5 firmware. Uncheck auto-reboot in Odin and make sure you have a blue ID:COM light.
3. Click the AP button and put the NE5 firmware file there. Click Start. Wait for Odin to finish, then reboot manually into custom recovery. (Volume UP, Home and Power).
4. Flash MOAR.
5. Profit!
NOTE: Please read the original post (OP) for MOAR (and for the download link or click Downloads from the black bar above this post), as many answers can be found there. @rompnit and @tdunham put a lot of time and effort to give us the Mother Of All Roms. We owe it to them search for answers before posting. Chances are, you'll find your answer.
NOTE: Please use the forums SEARCH feature before posting a question that may have already been answered.
NOTE: [GUIDE] - XDA New User Guide - Getting started on XDA <- Great read if you're new here. :good:
NOTE: Search techniques for first-timers
1. Searching from a mobile device is difficult but can be done. These screenshots should help you if using the XDA app on your phone:
. .
. .
2. If on a computer, in the XDA forum, you can search globally for any XDA subject or just the thread you're viewing. (Upper right-hand section of browser) Since we're mostly interested in MOAR, you'd use the thread search.
3. Keep your search term reasonably simple. For example: Searching for "prl" would result in any post with the word prl, if you're really trying to find out how to write a prl file on your phone, try "write prl". Try different ways. Bonus Tip: Using Google and adding XDA can yield great results too. For example, "write prl xda".
4. Results of the search can give multiple results, scan through them to see if you can find your answer. (Hint: User your browsers back button to go back to search results.
5. Some more tips on using Internet Search Engines.
NOTE: MOAR Mod Control mini user's guide can be found in post #2
NOTE: Many questions can be answered by going into MOAR Mod Control and going through all of the various settings.
1. MOAR Mods
(a). Q: Where can I find the mod to do …..?
@tdunham's New Stuff Mods v1.x for MOAR v2.2 can be found ->HERE<-.
Additional Caller ID Backgrounds Flash in Recovery
MOAR Caller ID Backgrounds Flash in Recovery
@JoeyDuran's MOAR Section Settings Icons Note: Click small Download button (2nd one) Flash in Recovery
@willowmaker420's Themed Settings Icons. Screenshots ->HERE<-. Alternate download location ->HERE<-.
NOTE: If you are doing a clean install, you only have to flash the latest mod, every previous mod will be included.
(b). Q: I want to change a selection I made during installation, how do I do this?
MOAR's Aroma Installer is designed to allow you to install the ROM and the add-on's or just the add-on's by themselves.
If you need to make a change, select the second option.
. .
These are the options you'll see as you go through the installer, they are the same for both selections (Install Rom & Add-ons or just Install Add-ons)
. .
. .
. .
. .
. .
(c). Q: I’m missing my Sprint / Samsung / Google app. What happened to them?
MOAR has been de-bloated, but you can restore any app that was removed (or add any) by downloading and flashing the Aroma powered bloat package =>HERE<=.
Install missing bloatware:
. .
. .
. .
Remove bloatware:
. .
. .
(d). Q: How do I get Smart Remote / IR Blaster to work?
You need to install Smart Remote from the Bloat Package (See question (c) above). Additionally, if you are using KT Kernel you have to download and install an older version (KT-SGS5-KK4.4-TW-G900-09.21.2014.zip)
2. MOAR Theming
(a). Q: Can MOAR be themed?
Yes, @stangdriver44 created THE MISSING LINK. It's been tested on MOAR v2.2 and gives you moar choices than you can imagine! Please post any questions on THE MISSING LINK thread.
Until @stangdriver44 advises otherwise, only use the section in these screenshots:
. .
Under "Build My Own", the three sections pointed to are not designed to work on Sprint, do not use.
. .
UPDATE: Tested with MOAR 2.2.
Links to additional themes from @reverepats, @JoeyDuran and @willowmaker420 are located in post#6. Thanks guys
(b). Q: How do I get the custom toggles that I've seen in screen shots? When I try it, they look like a blob. (MOAR v2.0 +)
Refer to Notificaton Panel section of MOAR Mod Control User Guide (post #2) for instructions.
(c). Q: I don’t like the boot animation, can I change it?
Update: As well as the instructions below for manually creating your own bootanimations, I posted some of the ones I've done. These are all flashable in recovery. They can be found ->HERE<-. Also seven of my favorites in an all in one Aroma installer can be found ->HERE<-.
Great instructions can be found =>HERE<= as well as a link to bootanimations. You can find more all over the Internet. Most won't be sized correctly for our phone (1080 x 1920) so you'll need to do some modifications, on a PC.
1. First you'll need an unzipping programs such as 7Zip.
2. Unzip your bootanimation.zip and you will have files "similar" to this:
3. Open the desc.txt file, using Notepad. There are two numbers that need to be changed. It doesn't matter what the original numbers are, you need to change them to 1080 1920. Ignore anything else in that file. Make sure to click "File" and the "Save". (Or close Notepad and Save when prompted).
4. Now you need to re-save all the files in that folder, use CTRL-A to select them and then right click on your desktop. You should see a screen that looks like the next screenshot. Click Add to archive. Make sure you change Archive format to "Zip" and Compression level to "Store". Click OK.
5. Rename the file to bootanimation.zip if it's not already and move it to the file location on your phone as shown on the link in the second paragraph. Reboot!
(d). Q: How do I add widgets to the lockscreen?
To enable/disable Lockscreen Widgets on MOAR v2.0 *with* @tdunham's MOAR 2.0 Mods: Go to Mod Control -> Lockscreen Options.
To add/delete lockscreen widgets, @tdunham wrote instructions that can be found =>HERE<=.
(e). Q: Can I change the pulldown image or the statusbar image?
For portrait pulldowns and statusbars, go to MOAR Mod Control -> Statusbar Settings -> Backgrounds and/or MOAR Mod Control -> Notification Panel -> Backgrounds.
Statusbar and pulldowns will now scale in landscape mode. If your statusbar and pulldown is a solid color or doesn't change with scaling then your good to go. If you want a different statusbar or pulldown in landscape mode then you must add a statusbar_land.png and/or pulldown_land.png to the internal SD moar folder. To look right they should be sized as 1920x75 (statusbar) and 1920x1080 (pulldown). Here's a Windows program for resizing and converting your image.
(f). Q: I'm trying to change the image for wallpaper, lockscreen and/or pulldown, why doesn't it work?
You need to be using the Touchwiz (TW) gallery. The AOSP Gallery won't work. Re-flash MOAR and select option 2 (Install Add-ons only). You will NOT be reflashing the rom itself. Go through the options and when you get to "Gallery" select the TW Gallery".
3. General
(a). Q: Should I do a clean install of MOAR, or is a dirty flash okay? Alternate problem: I did a clean install of MOAR, but it won't boot.
From the MOAR OP:
// MOAR v2.2 [NE5 / 4.4] [11.09.2014]
** 1st Boot will take forever, and the animation may lag. This is normal!
** A clean install is HIGHLY recommended and can be done easily from the installer.

Click to collapse
In addition, you should install the LATEST version of @tdunham's New Stuff mods.
Generally, there's no harm in doing a dirty flash. Try it, if you don't experience any problems, then you're okay. If you have FCs right away or other problems, the do a clean install. YMMV.
If you just installed MOAR but it's not booting, per @tdunham:
You cant run a 4.4.2 rom on top of the NK4 bootloader, you have to also flash the NK4 kernel.
You have a couple of choices:
- if you want to stay on the NK4 bootloader, flash the NK4 kernel from HERE before rebooting the rom after flashing (uncheck reboot) OR
- flash the mini-bootloader to bring the phone back to NE5 bootloader first HERE
Its probably easier just to obtain and flash the NK4 kernel after the rom but its up to you. Don't forget to do a full wipe before flashing any rom.

(b). Q: Where can I get flashable recovery?
The two available recoveries for Sprint GS5 are TWRP and Philz. Both can be found ->HERE<-. The .tar file(s) must be installed with Odin. Zip files are flashed in your present custom recovery. Older versions included, in most cases you'll want to install the latest version. In addtion, @ktoonsez KT TWRP v2.8.2.0 (or newer) is available ->HERE<-.
Note: If Odin link for v3.10 not working, here's alternate.
(c). Q: Why am I getting the error stating "do not have program installed" when I try to change the lockscreen wallpaper?
You need to install the Touchwiz (TW) Gallery, not the AOSP Gallery. Re-flash the MOAR Aroma installer and select the second option to "Change Add-On's only". When you get to the Gallery section, choose TW. Finish going through selections and reboot. You won't be wiping anything out.
(d). Q: It looks like I have two wifi/4g icons.How do I get rid of it?
That's Download Booster. You can toggle it on or off via Setting -> Network Connections -> Download Booster.
(e). Q: Can I use MOAR on my T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon etc. S5?
No. MOAR is a Sprint based ROM which can only be used on the Sprint network, which includes Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile. Sprint uses CDMA. For an understanding of CDMA vs GSM, here's a wikipedia article.
UPDATE: For those on the Galaxy S5 Sport SM-G860P, see @tdunham's thread ->HERE<-. Make sure to read both posts 1 and 2 (as well as the rest of the thread!)
(f). Q: How come I'm missing some settings in the Camera app?
This is not a MOAR issue, and not really an issue at all. When you tap the Settings "Gear" in the Camera, there isn't a scroll bar, but if you slide your finger up/down on the settings, the rest of the settings will come into view.
(g). Q: Where can I find the stock kernels?
Stock kernels courtesy of @tdunham are available ->HERE<-. (All 6 stock kernels, flashable recovery zips and flashable Odin versions)
(h). Q: Can I return my phone to stock, unrooted state before taking it to a Sprint store?
SM-G900P_NE5_Stock_Unrooted will return your phone to stock. You need to download and run this file from a Windows PC, it has it's own installer. Note, you will not be able to reset the knox counter (as of this writing, nothing will).
(i). Q: Is there a way to restart my phone without pulling the battery, to get into Recovery or Download mode if it locks up/bootloops?
See [How-to] Soft Boot/Reset the Galaxy S5
(j). Q: Why do the widgets on my home screen(s) disappear after I turn off my screen?
This seems to be caused by switching between different launchers. The data/cache gets corrupted. (NOTE: This will clear your launcher settings, so they will have to be set up again. To clear Touchwiz launcher:
Go to Settings -> Application Manager and find Touchwiz Home, tap to open it's settings.
. .
In the app settings, tap (1) Force Stop and (2) Clear Data. When you exit, if you have more than one launcher installed, you'll need to choose Touchwiz Home.
(k). Q: Where can I find other modems for the Sprint Galaxy S5?
NOTE: Knowledge of installing using Odin is required.
NOTE: Thank you to @andee39, @banccalif, @jrkruse, and @tdunham for the files and the feedback.
NOTE: This is not to upgrade your phone to Android 4.4.4, this is only so you can install the latest modems.
NOTE: If you use fingerprint security, the NKD (Lollipop) modem breaks it.
Files needed (download to PC:
Odin (Upgrade to Odin 3.10.0)
NK4 Firmware. Only needs to be odin'd once. You can then odin any modem to use.
Modems. They are listed oldest to newest. Alternately, you can download All Modems.zip to PC as a single file and extract the modem(s) you want to try.
Instructions:
1. Power down phone. Do not use a menu to go into Download Mode.
2. Go into Download Mode (Volume Down, Home and Power Button), then Volume UP to continue.
3. Plug phone into computer via USB.
4. Start Odin. (Ensure you have a blue ID:COM light in Odin.
5. If firmware file needs to be installed, place it in the AP/PDA (older version) slot. This is a one time only step.
6. Place modem file in CP slot. (If you are upgrading the firmware, step 5 & 6 can be combined.
7. Press Start. Phone will reboot when finished.
(l). Q: I'm only getting one or two bars for my signal, can I do anything? (PRL Update)
There's a couple of things you can try:
1. If your signal strength just started getting weak, it may just be the cell tower in your area, you could call Sprint to see if they are working in your area.
2. Update your PRL. Go to Settings -> System Update -> Update PRL.
. .
3. Write the Corporate PRL. Many of us have gotten better reception with this. Make sure to follow the instructions competely from ->HERE<-. If you want to return to the stock PRL at any time, just repeat Step 2.
. .
The following link is provided for informational purposes. Please do a nanoid backup before you try anything that is suggested there. Some information does not apply to the S5 and some info may be outdated.
(m). Q: What's the ETA on the next version of MOAR?
This question in any form is considered very rude and should not be asked EVER. The developers work hard to provide a great rom, but they also have a life, family etc. They are the only ones who know when the next version will/may be released, so asking anyone in the forums doesn't help. Please refer to paragraph 2 under guidelines ->HERE<-.
. Q: Is there an online user guide for the Sprint Galaxy S5?
Yes, it's located ->HERE<-. Has a wealth of information about our $600 phone.

Preventative Help
Do a nanoid backup. Set up a routine. If you're the type that likes to try out new things, then do a nanoid at least weekly. Do it monthly if you don't make changes. Personally, if I go into Recovery, I'll do a nanoid. You'll be thankful for taking the 15 minutes to do it when you're up a creek without a paddle!
Troubleshooting Tips
1. If doing a clean install and phone doesn't boot, it could be a bad download. Re-download and check MD5 checksum on PC and/or phone. It's also been reported that doing a dirty re-flash works.
2. Clear cache(s) in recovery. Sometimes that's all it takes.
3. Dirty flash MOAR. You won't lose any thing (except maybe Missing Link themeing)
4. If you're experiencing problems such as freezing, random reboots or connection issues, reboot into "Safe Mode". Similar to a PC, your phone will boot without loading any apps (other than default), no drivers or mods. If your problem is resolved, then you know the issue isn't with MOAR but something else installed on your phone.
To boot into "Safe Mode":
Turn the device off.
Press and hold the Power key.
When ‘Samsung Galaxy S5′ appears on the screen, release the Power key.
Immediately after releasing the Power key, press and hold the Volume down key.
Continue to hold the Volume down key until the device finishes restarting.
Safe mode will display in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Release the Volume down key when you see Safe Mode.
To boot normal, either restart your phone, or use the pulldown notification.

[Q] IndexService versus my battery
Recently installed MOAR v2.1 and my battery is getting destroyed by the IndexService... whatever that is. I'm guessing it's a Samsung phone search optimizer. Over a few hours of constant use the battery use for the screen is 8% and for IndexService is %40.
I often shy away from stock-ish roms so I'm not sure what to do about it. Greenify?

Greenify along with Wakelock Detector. Seems like after I used both a long time ago, it's a forgotten issue. If I don't use my phone for about 15 minutes or so, it pretty much goes into Deep Sleep. Also, check the Power Saving Mode in the settings.

I'm not sure what indexing service is exactly but maybe it has to do with external storage? Have you ever reseated the sd card and formatted it lately right from the phone storage menu? Backup your stuff to pc first of course.

Yeah, I think it was a first day boot phenomena combined with indexing a 128GB external sd card. Thanks for all the insightful thoughts.

My unlock effect is disabled in the lockscreen settings. I don't know why. I had been playing around with the lockscreen and had set it to AOSP style, but it never went back to the particle effect after that... (at least I believe that's when it happened). I tried playing with the settings more... turning widgets on/off, reseting to stock lockscreen (w/ reboot), removing lockscreen and also adding a PIN/pattern, etc. Nothing seems to reenable it.
I did search the thread and didn't find anything.
UPDATE: Nevermind. Apparently my custom wallpaper is not unlock effect worthy. Upon switching back to that color faceted stock image the option enabled.
---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------
When choosing a wallpaper, the choice screen features the thumbnail bar along the bottom of the screen. The far left thumbnail is an icon that says "More Images". When I click that I get a popup that says "App isn't installed."
It sounds like you're using the aosp gallery. Install the stock one if you want it to operate the normal way.

Thanks for moving the question over here Have you tried un-pairing and re-pairing your phone with your car? Are you back on stock kernel or KT? KT defaults to undervolting 5 mA by default, so upping it back up 5 mA may solve the rebooting issue. You might also try a "dirty" flash over your install.
ive tried unpairing n repairing with no results. ill try ur other suggestion n let u know. thanks for the reply

Can you explain how to set up fingerprint unlock option?
If I set my default lockscreen to none I cannot use the fingerprint option. and when I add the finger print my nexus 6p default lockscreen show over your app.

that's weird, in samsung devices, you can set default lockscreen to 'none' and keep fingerprint active.
I had it working on my s7 edge with your original clocker app. I'm not sure about the light version I will try it on my s7 edge later today. The nexus however will not because it will auto delete the prints whenever the screen is set to none.
I really love this lite version, but why do I have to write my pin when I click the widget music? Is there a way that i can play the music without unlock it? Oh and is it possible to add more info on the notifications? What I mean is when I tick no show content can show like '4 messages in 3 chats' like in stock lockscreen. Hope you can read my suggestion, great job :good:
the widget click works together with the PIN you set, i will consider making it an option to set without PIN when clicking widget.

I used the c locker free but it was very slow on start up of my device.
It took more then half a minute to lock the screen.
I switched to the lite version hoping this would faster and it seems to be.
But when I start up my device it doesn't lock and i get a toast saying "auto unlock as system lock is enabled".
In settings my lockscreen option is set to none.
I'm on an Asus Zenfone 2 laser (Z00ED) with stock firmware.

Done. Thank you for the help.
FYI: I Had an other issue.
I just updated my phone and let google restore all my apps, including C Locker Lite. After that i did a reboot, but i forgot to turn off the android lockscreen. When the phone started I saw the C Locker loading screen and then a blank / black screen. without any way to unlock. I could pull down the quick toggles, but nothing else. I waited for about 5 minutes, but still nothing.
Also i didn't wipe my SD, but did wipe data and system.
I restarted again, but the same thing happened.
I went into TWRP and deleted the app from data/app/ with the file manager and restarted. everything worked again.
It's not a problem for me anymore, but it might be for people doing a factory reset without any custom recovery.
good app!

[Q] Is there a way to "TRULY" disable the "Navigation Bar"?

Greetings!
I know there's a way to put the device always in "Immersive Mode", that way you can hide the Navigation Bar:
Code:
settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*
But every time I swipe from the bottom to any place in the screen, the NavBar appears again (thats really frustrating >_<).
I use LMT Launched (pie), so... I don't need the NavBar to be there.
Is there a real way to truly disable the Navigation Bar???
On some roms, there's a way to do it from inside options (like in Pure Nexus rom for example), I'm currently using RenovateICE, but that option is not implemented yet.
Also, the old trick to disable the NavBar (qemu.hw.mainkeys=1) does not work on Android 7+.
Thank you for your time!!! =D
This is something I'd love to see a workaround for. I love the immersive mode feeling but I can't stand that you can't disable the nav bar completely. It hinders your ability to use swipe gestures whenever it comes back on screen and really it just defeats the purpose so I stopped using it for now.
I'll wait for a way to disable the nav bar completely on the stock ROM before I go back to "immersive mode" (if anything of the like ever comes along that is).

Yeah, or for example, when the keyboard pops out, the NavBar appears. D=
I'm pretty sure that there should be a way to do it!!!
Hi,
I was facing the same thing, and decided to take the plunge and root my phone, just for this since I have an exynos version.
From then you can edit the prop build file and remove the navbar permanently.
I use Swipe Gesture (app) to navigate around the phone with every apps full screen, it is a game changer. You can even customise actions (long press launching split screen, ect...)

What line did you added to build.prop???
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 ????
Lilolilo27, if you could elaborate on which parameter(s) you had to change in the build prop I would be forever thankful! I didn't think there would be an easy fix for this so soon!
Hi,
Yes just add the qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 line to the end of the build prop file with a root explorer and reboot.
Just for precaution, make a backup of the prop file before hand AND set up Swipe Gesture or any other navigation app BEFORE making the change (or your keys will be gone and you wont be able to navigate around your phone)
Thanks lilolilo27. I'll have to give this a go when I have a few minutes and see how I come up. Thanks for the heads up btw.

WOW, that worked now!!!
I tried this on the S7 Edge and Google Pixel (with android 7+) and I had a bunch of FC's.
I just applied this tweak to my S8+, and it worked smootly!!!
Thank you for the heads up!!! =D
enjoy!
I personally love it, don't see myself using a navigation bar ever again
shame we dont have the same option as windows phone , the swipe up to hide the nav bar , simple but perfect

Don t know if have tried https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodmooddroid.gesturecontroldemoGmd gesture app. It is one if the seminal apps that changed how u interact with android. There are many apps for gestures but it is still one of the best. Try it.
Couldnt find the swipe gesture app

Check out this thread, disable nav bar with a layer.

Thanks a lot!!! I'm currently using that mod. '3
anybody try this with the current oreo beta 2? I've had to pull and push the build.prop twice because it seems to break the touchwiz home and won't finish booting

Added it to my build.prop on Oreo b2, and had the same issue. Have you tried the layers solution? I would, but I haven't purchased the Samsung extension and don't really want to until I know it works (my hunch is that it only works on Nougat)
