[Req Fulfilled] Prevent Menu Unlock | Unlock Opens Home Menu (2.1) | Vanilla Unlock

Update: I have changed the subject title because I know that disabling "press menu to unlock" was a highly requested feature, but this thread isn't getting much action. I just wanted to make sure people knew it was here.
Geek For Me is proud to present...
a sleepy time release...
Bug Fixes and Requests for Lock Screen Related Stuff
I'm going to try and lay this out in some sort of logical order but there's going to be a lot on here so it's going to look a little messy. But I'll try! All of these fixes were done by me (flipz) so please give credit where credit is due. These are not bugs in Fresh Rom or feature requests that were necessary sent directly to me. These are bugs that affect all copies of the Sprint 2.1 based roms out right now. Thanks. PS- I was half asleep while typing all of this up and prepping the files, so please excuse any issues.
Bug:
Vanilla lock screen is all jumbled up. More information was already released here but I'll be repeating most of it.
The vanilla lock screen source code in all of our 2.1 leaks from Sprint have suffered this. The information isn't displayed properly on the page. Only time will tell if our final release will ship like that.
If you decide to use the vanilla lock screen then you will also need to use either the vanilla clock or a 3rd party application. This is because HTC's world clock is integrated in to HTC's lock screen, which you would have removed. For this reason I have ported the clock over to use with it. If you set an alarm in HTC's world clock then it will go off in the morning but you won't be able to stop it. Again... If you are using the vanilla lock screen then you must set your alarm in android's clock application (or a 3rd party app) and not in HTC's if you want to be able to turn it off in the morning.
I have made 3 different patch options. These have only been tested on Fresh 2.0d but should work perfectly fine on any rom based on Fresh 2.0d or DamageControl. All 3 are going to remove HTCLockScreen so make sure you aren't applying this update.zip unless you want to use the vanilla lock screen. It does wipe your dalvik-cache so expect a long reboot (5+ minutes) after flashing it.
Feature Request:
By default the "Menu" button will turn on and then unlock the phone. This is seen as a bug by many because it constantly causes the phone to unlock itself in your pocket.
While it isn't a bug I was able to remove it from both the vanilla lock screen and HTC's lock screen.
Bug:
When using the Menu button to unlock the phone in Sense UI it pulls up the home screen menu after hitting menu the second time, when the expected result is for the phone to just be unlocked.
I fixed this on the Rosie.apk from Fresh Rom 2.0d so if you are using any other rom or theme then you may noticed changes in your rosie.
Request:
Make the vanilla lock screen opaque so that you can't see right through it.
So far we haven't been successful in getting an actual wallpaper there, however I was able to modify the background color.
This one requires that you already have vanilla lock screen working, so grab one of the ones above to get it running, then flash this. This file is based on a file from Fresh Rom so you may see a slight change in your theme if you aren't using fresh.
DOWNLOAD ALL THE PATCHES AND GET MORE INFORMATION HERE: http://geekfor.me/fixes/bugfixes-requests-lock-screens/
I figured I should throw in there that the thread title doesn't mean I am taking request. A couple of the fixes in here are things that I have seen requested all over the boards. One in particular (disable pressing menu to unlock the phone) has been getting asked since release.

* So far we haven't been successful in getting an actual wallpaper there, however I was able to modify the background color.

So how do we do this? Having that clear screen is really annoying.
Thanks for all your hard work!
.

If I wanted the lock screen that didn't let the menu key unlock, and the black background, would I flash them on top of each other or is the black background not an option with the menu key "fix"?

Thanks for the hook up Flipz. This is perfect. I can deal with a black background until this is solved. You kick a$$!!!

Flizpmode if I were to use the blackvanilla screen, would that affect my rosie that I would be using at the time?

Doesn't seem to have affected mine.
I noticed two things:
1. First boot takes about as long as flashing a new ROM
2. Hitting menu to unlock doesn't bring up the menu, just unlocks it.
Nice work Flipz, thank you.

You flash whichever lock zip you want, then flash the black zip over it. Presto.

I just came back to report that. I flashed the lock zip without menu unlock, and then black background over it and it worked.
But.. if you're running DarchVanilla with the Gomorrah white theme, the black lock screen overwrites the white taskbar making it very hard to read the black clock/symbols on a black background. This affects the task bar at all times, not just when the lock screen is up. So anyone running that particular setup or something like it probably won't want to flash the black background.

This has been what I've been waiting for flipz you're the man!!!!

Good call. Just noticed I lost my custom task bar. Wonder if we can re-flash that, or if it nukes the lockscreen...I don't have time to play with it now, so if someone else does it, let us know

Ok, so I tested it...re-installed my custom theme. Lockscreen works, but lost the black background. Oh well. I can live with transparent.

Could you post it please. I lost the same battery that you are using and would like it back.
Cheers.

i just noticed that when i hold the power button to turn off the phone, put it in airplane mode, or turn off the 3G radio, the menu is completely messed up. not sure whether it was this or not, though.

Also is there any way to stop the vibration when you unlock? It's gonna take a while to get used to unlocking...

Nice app, need translation?!

Nice app.
I found the setup a bit confusing, but i don't really know how it could be made better.
After trying it i got some FCs:
I was using the unlock feature.

Yea, I wasn't too happy with the setup, but... I only found out about the brightness thing after testing it out on a i9000 too. Tried a more automated approach, but doesn't produce the same results as regular presses. I'll upgrade the setup process when I find a better solution.
Thanks for the logs, I tried reproducing the problem, but didn't get a force close, but I think I might know what the problem might be.
Will get to work on that.
lol the font looks really really cute.

I'm still not able to reproduce the forceclose, but thanks to the logs, I believe I fixed the problem. One of them was leftover code I missed removing which strangely wasn't causing me any problems.
The other... should be fixed.
You'll see an update soon.

Had to use No Lock app, to disable normal lock screen, then set the VOID, work great!

Nice work there....but i have one problem tough....during calls the phone gets locked itself and i have to unlock it again to hang up and stuff
And could you add a "disable stock lockscreen" feature?? It would be highly appreciated

I'm currently fixing up the call lock right now.
There wasn't a disable stock lockscreen feature because it was supposed to disable the stock lockscreen automatically. However, that only seems to be working on the phones I'm testing on and strangely, the phones I can test on won't show the stock lockscreen, but some others does.
I'll be doing some more work into this part.

Update
New update out. Fixed up the calling. Now, the incoming call and incall screens won't be locked up. After call, it will lock back up. This works if you press the power button to turn off too.
New Feature. Find it in experimental setting. New feature affects the screen time out. Now, if you want, the Screen Timeout will lock with Void Lock instead of turning off the screen. Good feature for those like me who uses the WakeLock and avoids using the power button.

I forgot to disable my other lock screen and now seem to be locked out of my phone. Evo 4g with decks rom. any suggestions?

Great dev! can't wait for it to work completely on ICS

Couple of issues
evo 3d: when going to uninstall the uninstall screen flashes like crazy, buttons are highlighted (force stop, clear data, move to sd, uninstall) and blinking, takes several taps before you can get it uninstalled.
evo 4g: also when uninstalling it flashes, sometimes you have to clear data, move to SD card, then uninstall
it's one of the oddest things I've ever seen... and no, I'm not the one who left the nasty market comments.

Wow! that's also one of the oddest things I've heard about.
But, I can't imagine why it would happen. None of my code goes beyond the lockscreen and shouldn't affect the uninstalling at all. I just did an uninstall on my phone, tablet, and old phones to see if I get the same issue, but it was able to be uninstalled properly.
The only uninstall issue I know of is that the app is granted Device Admin status after the first time you press the Void Lock app, but that will only give you an Uninstall is not Successful message instead of the issues you are having.
Also odd that it happened to both of your phones.
I can't seem to think of why that uninstalling problem happened and I'm 100% positive that none of the code for Void Lock will affect the uninstalling. But if all that flashing and etc happens only when you are uninstalling Void Lock then Void Lock should definitely be the culprit. Its so strange...
Hmm, could it be related to your rom?
I also never had to clear data or move to SD card to uninstall it. Just disable device admin in the phone's Security Settings and then uninstall it and it'll work properly.
I'm not too worried about the market comments. I guess I expect it because of all the incompatibility issues I have not been able to predict when I released it. Yet, it does work for a lot of phones so I wouldn't even know which phones to restrict. All the problems seems to be coming from manufacturers making changes to the default lockscreen. Still working on fixing all of that right now.
I am a bit upset at those nasty market comments that rates low because of not being able to uninstall. I did give instructions in the market description. I guess I'll need add a new tab in the Settings to describe how to uninstall.

nice lockscreen.

[Q] Which custom rom is right for me?

Okay this is going to be the first time I'll use a custom rom so my priority is to get a fully stable and bug-free experience just like the stock rom. So I am only looking for 4.1.2 rom and not 4.2 rom. So these are the features that I am looking for.
1. Power toggles and brightness notification slider.
2. Separate call and notification volume.
3. The camera should be 100% like stock.
4. Long press back key to kill an app.
5. The look should be just like stock and not the black look which I see in many ROM's screenshots.
6. All the stock google apps.
Thats about it for what I am looking for, there are a couple more things I would like to have but they are not necessary.
1. Facebook contact sync(but no point without high res pics).
2. Built-in sound profiles.
Thanks in advance I am waiting to try my first custom rom.

I haven't seen many roms with built in sound profiles. Most, if not all roms with sound profiles, are based of the CM10 profiles.

CyanogenMod 10 stable is the best for you!

The camera isn't stock though I believe (slightly modded). But why do you need a stock camera?

What I really mean is that I want 100% working camera like I have heard camera does not work properly in alot of custom roms on android phones. I wont mind the camera having extra features.
So it seems like CM10 it is then.
Nandroid backup made, will do titanium later and then I am all set. :good:

I was not aware of that. I believe most current roms 4.1.2 if not all roms have a working camera, including CM10.

Its actually just what generally I have seen with android phones not the nexus S. I suppose the problem has to do with ported roms but since the nexus S has official 4.1.2 so it should not have a problem with the camera.

Definitely cm10, but if you sometimes get bored and want to switch things up a little...
DEFINITELY try paranoid android! If you don't like it remember to nandroid backup in recovery so you can get back to stock easy :thumbup:
Edit: paranoid android is also based of cm10!

I would say rasbeanjelly from rascarlo. You have flashable zip to revert to stock theme from black one.

So far very smooth and no problems. There are just a couple of things I wish it had.
There is no brightness notification slider, is there any mod for it?
I also wish that the profiles had widgets and/or a notification icon to quickly know which profile is running without pressing the power button. The method of changing a profile also needs far too many taps. But anyways the notification and call volume can be unlinked so thats all I really needed. And I must say the profile software is the most advanced I have ever seen, you can silent individual apps which I hadnt seen before. :good:
Overall its just such a well thought out ROM I am loving it.
Btw is it okay that I didnt wipe everything on the SD card? I just factory reset through CWM and it didnt wipe the media and backups in the SD card.
Thanks everyone as always the community rocks. :good:

There's no apparent brightness slider but there's the secret brightness slider! Make sure auto brightness is off then go to Settings > System> Status bar > and check Backlight.
Exit, then when you're on the main screen, press on the top left of your status bar, don't drag down to bring the notification, simply slide left or right. Magic, brightness gets adjusted.

Okay this is cool. I can simply long press on the top right corner and the brightness goes full. If I press on the top left then it goes zero, if I press in the middle its around 50 dont even need to slide.
However I still dont like it more than the slider because there is no confirmation of how much the brightness actually is. Maybe I'll get used to it thanks for the tip there are so many options here I missed this one.

I know your feeling, but once you stop caring at what the numbers are, you'll live a better life.
That's a bit similar to the battery percentage. Is there enough battery? Yeah? Then you're good to go. There's not enough? Charge. Simple!

Why can't add lockscreen widgets?
- They're disabled by default on Android 4.4. You can enable them in Security -->enable widget.
Wi-Fi Tethering isn't working!
- In Android 4.2+ tethered traffic is flagged so if your plan doesn't allow it, wifi tethering will likely won't work.
- You can use some third party apps.
I've enabled Immersive mode and now my bars are missing!
- Just swipe from top or bottom for bars.
My mobile signal/radio isn't working anymore!
- There's a bug with TWRP that remove/corrupt your baseband during flash. Please refer to the twrp team for a fix.
-Verify your kernels because this rom does not affect DATA/WIFI/VOLUME
Why Smart Radio keeps shutting down itself?
- To avoid loops, using the LTE or 2G3G toggle will deactivate Smart Radio.
I get error when flashing Cataclysm
- First make sure to compare the md5 against the one on the file hosting site. http://onlinemd5.com/
- If it matches consider some users are reporting issues with TWRP. Refer to the twrp team for a fix.
Can't select AM/PM clock style
- You can't select it if you're using the 24Hour clock format.
Show data activity on statusbar isn't working
- For data activity i mean the little triangles over Wifi or Mobile signal.
- They were removed, i've reintroduced them back as optional.
Vibration on call pickup/hangup doesn't work
- It works for remote pickup/hangup, you already should know when picking or hanging up a call yourself.
Hot reboot toggle doesn't work
- For security reasons it works only on longpress.
Volume wake sometimes isn't working
- When playing music you need to press both volUP and volDOWN to wake the phone.
- This will let you to skip tracks without waking the phone while keeping the ability to do so.
Smart Radio disconnect me on switch, it also takes seconds to reconnect
- It's normal to get disconnected when you switch radio
- Also switch is handled by the radio itself, can't make it better nor faster.
Fast Charge toggle doesn't work
- Fast Charge toggle needs a compatible custom kernel.
- Also you can't toggle it while already connected.
GPS toggle isn't working
- There's a bug on Android where if you disable GPS while active it stays powered even if it shows as off, thus draining your battery.
- So i've put a security check to prevent disable it when powered on.

Why the option to longpress home to open app drawer is grayed out?
- Unfortunately this feature depends on launchers, so actually is compatible only with Nova, Holo, Holo HD and Aphex launcher.
Why wifi is always enabled on battery stats even if i turn it off?
- Google by default use wifi for some location services even when it's "off".
- Go to Wifi --> Advanced Settings --> Wifi scan always available to disable it.

Don't use ART Don't use ART Don't use ART. This is a Dalvik patch not an ART patch.

Nice job, hopefully a link to this is added to the front page of the Cata thread. Although it's not strictly ROM-related per se, it wouldn't hurt to add a question/answer related to the dalvik patch. Something that would qualify as being 'frequently asked' in the thread.

Thank you. I rather the dev work on the actual rom than to sort through tens of pages full of repeated questions.

Immersive mode takes the cake, it's a very nice rom but I've flashed cataclysm twice now and neither the home button or the quick toggles from the pull down menu work.

I had the same problem. I googled around and found this:
androidpolice(dot)com/2013/11/25/bug-watch-nexus-4-kitkat-ota-krt16s-causing-bizarre-home-button-and-quick-settings-issues/
Run this in ADB after you do a clean flash
Code:
adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity
Worked for me, hope this helps!
(Sorry if the URL workaround isn't allowed, just wanted to help!)

Cataclysm - Waiting for Location
Having quite a bit of trouble with determining My Location with this rom. Most notably with Google Maps as that is what I use day-to-day. Unless I'm not using location services to determine my location, I'll be stuck with "Waiting for Location".
I've enabled Data Roaming and tried various other setting tweaks to fix, but nothing has worked.
Using Baseband/Radio M8974A, However, I've flashed a previous (my working original while I was on stock rom) version and it still didn't work.
I've seen this mentioned ONCE in the release/development thread, but no confirmation whether the issue was fixed. I would guess so since it wasn't mentioned again. However, I'm having a hard time thinking this is an isolated incident.
Would it be possible to help me troubleshoot or forward a fix?
Edit:
Kernel: Franco r32
Please note, this has only started happening since I installed Cataclysm and I've been dealing with the issue for almost a month now (since I've installed the rom)
Also, this happens under any of the various settings:
Radio: ON, WIFI: ON
Radio: OFF, WIFI: ON
Radio: ON, WIFI: OFF
Location Modes:
High Accuracy
Battery Saving
Device Only

I haven't seen anyone really talk about that issue, so that's pretty weird. OK first can you make a nandroid backup and try flashing cataclysm completely stock with the stock kernel? Don't bother installing apps since we're just going to test the gps. It might be a kernel issue but i've been keeping up with francos thread and not much talk has been around the gps signal. Try not using smart radio at all with the clean flash. If the issue occurs in complete stock cataclysm then we have to verify that the rom you have matches the md5 of the download site. You can check this by searching onlinemd5 on Google. If it matches then you're going to have to try and see if the gps issue occurs on the stock google rom. There have been instances of people having issues with cellular reception and gps signal on their phones and it was proven to be a hardware issue.

Ok, since the official thread is way out of hand, we might as well start using this one so, first of all, thank you @FuMMoD for it.

I think I found a bug. Could you test something for me? Sometimes I call people so they reject the call in order to call me (to be free). Every time I call someone and they reject, I stay on the phone app until I get the call back. When I get it, I can only hear it ringing but no incoming call screen shows. In order to pickup, I need to turn the screen off and on again. Could you please test this and tell me if it's only on my side?
Also, sorry if this has already been discussed.

So, I posted this there and got a reply from @theknut saying he couldn't reproduce it. Can anyone try it so I/we can be sure if it's a bug on my side or a real one on the ROM?
Thanks

I tried to reproduce it a bit ago but I did not get any issues. Tried doing it to two separate numbers within a half hour window and nothing out of the ordinary. Did you do a clean flash before flashing cataclysm?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Thanks for testing it out!
Yes, I did. Cataclysm was actually the first ROM on my phone and still is after a month now. I only booted on stock once after unlocking the bootloader and flashed Cataclysm right away.
Just to be sure about what you did:
1. Call someone;
2. Someone rejects the call;
3. Make sure you're still on the phone app when that person calls you back;
4. See if the incoming call screen shows when the other person calls.
With me, I can only hear it ringing and feel it vibrating but the incoming call screen only shows after I turn the screen off and back on again.
Was that it? Sorry but I'm just making sure.. Will hate to troubleshoot if the issue is on my side :/

[Bug Report] KitKat 4.4.2 NB3 || i9500

Creating this topic separately, so that it can get the needed attraction. This is where one should report all the bugs, not discuss about it. If mods think it is needless and close the topic further then the loss won't certainly be mine.
This is the first bug I have noticed so far.
The lock-screen clock does NOT update after a deep sleep (just don't touch the device for around 15-20 minutes), often! On previous occasions the clock showed the last updated time for about a second or two max before showing the current time, but now it just doesn't update at all, and stuck at the last update/screen on time, until you press the power button to turn the screen off and on again. Pretty annoying bug, can be a culprit when you are in a hurry.

Two things which annoy me a lot; have you noticed that the carrier label on lock screen is not in the middle? Very ugly.
Also the battery icon in the status bar is not familiar with the other icons, (the battery has kitkat AOSP design and other icons have TouchWiz).

I found 2 bugs relate to s view mode.
1.When in s view mode(lid closed), home button is disable so I can't wake the device with home button and can't take screenshot of s view mode using home+power button.
2.Samsung alarm app in s view mode. The stop and snooze buttons is below/outside the interaction windows of s view case so I can't press it.
I found these bugs on both omega rom and wanam lite rom with full wipe but has never tried on stock rom yet(cause I'm afraid of knox bootloader).

That's the first thing I noticed, it looks really awkward. Maybe it will place the carrier label in middle like before if you disable that camera icon which is newly introduced, don't know, haven't tried.

Okay, thanks for informing, I am on stock ROM with stock BL obviously, so let me check these, but I need to understand what's S-View mode? Is that something under S-Memo app or ?

It's the screen that appear in the cutout window when you use the case like Samsung S-View cover
Here is the pictures of s-view cover and alarm in s-view mode in jelly bean which are normal. (Images are from Google.)

No
1.S4 doesn't have chip to check like on Note 3, so if samsung disable it the original samsung s-view will also be disabled.
2.I use spigen case and it's still work, It's just that software become buggy.

Has anyone been able to solve the bug mentioned above? First, the snooze / dismiss button does not appear in the S-view window. As I open the cover I see these buttons just below the s-view window area and move my finger to that position, but by then the cover is fully opened and therefore the buttons go further down to the regular position. By the time I'm through with snoozing, I've lost my desire to snooze a lil longer
PS. Thanks to the Mod for re-opening this thread

Problem with the internal storage in 4.4.2
Hi to all.
I came here because I have a problem with my internal storage since I upgraded my S4 (I9500) to oficial Kit Kat 4.4.2. It seems that apps can't access the internal storage so I cant download files, save files from dropbox or even record a vine from the app. I have no problem taking photos or viewing them with the stock camera app, so I don't know what could it be. I hope you guys could help me. Thanks.
PS. I have tried this fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2607215 but it didn't work

Okay, I am going back to 4.3 today, enough of this KitKat nonsense, But before doing that just asking once again, could the bug related to lockscreen clock mentioned in OP be fixed in any way?
Thanks.
