[Request] App that emulates power button - Android Apps and Games

Could anyone develop an app that reproduces the power button's function? I really would like to turn off the screen WITHOUT locking the device and turning off the "smart lock" function. I have already tried almost 20 apps and even with tasker, without success. I don't know what to do..
This will be useful for all who want to use "smart lock" feature integrated by Google, like trusted devices and places, face recognition, physical contact.
These are automatically disabled if you use any of the app/widget that "locks the screen".
I'm kindly asking someone who knows how to make a simple app on Android :fingers-crossed:
Thanks in advance!

@TheArt. try secure settings with tasker.

Hi Thahim, I already tried that plugin with no success, there is no option like "turn off the screen" in secure settings.

Did you tried LMT Launcher and input the Arbitrary Key for the Power Button? If works for me, since I'm using it as of now...
:good:

Seems very interesting, i'll try later!

Can you explain it step by step? Because I don't know what to write in the menu "arbitrary key" . and I see there is no "double tap" gesture which I would like to use.

I tried that app several times, but it behaves like the other apps on the play store.

I managed it with LMT ! The only thing that could be better is that there is no "double tap" gesture in LMT, i'm using the X gesture right now.

Screen Off and Lock + Trusted Device?

I've been using Screen Off and Lock forever to lock my phone using the swipe-up-from-home-nav-button (instead of the default Google Now).
After updating to Lolipop, I started using my Moto 360 as a trusted device and enabled a PIN lock on my phone. When I lock the phone with the power button and my Moto 360 connected, no PIN screen appears when I turn the screen back on.
However, if I lock the phone using the app Screen Off and Lock, the PIN screen always comes on when I go to turn the screen back on. This defeats the whole purpose/convenience of the trusted device bypassing the PIN. Anyone know how to fix this? Or know of an app that will work better?
It hasn't been updated since January so I imagine its just an incompatibility

I'm on stock rooted Lollipop and I'm running into a similar issue, but with face unlock instead of trusted device.
I have double-tap on Nova Launcher set to system lock using Tasker, and when I lock my phone using that, face unlock doesn't activate, and won't until I put in my PIN password and then re-lock using the power button.

I also tried locking my phone using Greenify instead of Screen Off & Lock, sam result. Perhaps there is a way to implement locking the phone that won't trigger the PIN to unlock? Or - and I hope this isn't the case - maybe there is no way to do this in 5.0?

I tried messing around with screen timeout in Tasker, but it doesn't let me set it to 0 seconds (for obvious reasons, I guess haha), since I noticed that letting my screen time out seems to work just fine for triggering face unlock. The lowest I can set it to is 7 seconds though, if I remember right, which is a bit too high for a screen off function.

Have the same issue, wait for developer to fix it.

Not sure this will be "fixed". All apps that are stating to lock the phone will actually do so, whether trusted devices are enabled or not. They act the same way as if you are on the lockscreen with the lock disabled by a trusted device and then press the lock symbol at the bottom, this also locks the device. This has been a problem forever, apps just work differently than the hardware power button.
As a fix you can try the following: Use another app to completely disable the lockscreen or keyguard (whatever your prefer) when a trusted device is connected instead of using the android built in feature.
If you are like me and want to use the new trusted devices feature of lollipop you can use Tasker as a workaround. Create a tasker task with the command "run shell --> input keyevent 26". This also requires root. Then you can use the app Home Button Launcher to set a shortcut to run the new task when swiping up. This is what I'm using and it works without any problem! I hope I could help.

Have you installed the latest superSU beta? The previous versions had problems with the new security features introduced by lollipop. If you're not using this latest version my solution won't work.

Also, I didn't need a separate app to make a Home key shortcut, I just made a profile: Event -> UI -> Assistance Request -> add the Task with input keyevent 26.

Nothing against Screen Off and Lock as it's just doing what it's designed to do (and Lock after all) but this is a useful work around, thanks.

Thanks you guys. Now I feel more at home with Lollipop with my old habit. I couldn't stand that smart lock was disabled when I used other screen off apps (then again those haven't gotten an update for a while too).

Was searching for a solution and i found this thread! Thanks a lot!
So no hope for people like me who don't use trusted devices/places but use trusted face? Because I think even tasker can't do that with trusted face unlock.
Also looking for a solution to this with trusted faces on lollipop.

Avoid power button problems with LockScreen

As we can unlock our Nexus 5X with our fingerprint in a comfortable way, I think LockScreen is also great to lock the device from a (material design adapted) widget. And you can also use transparent widgets!
You can download it from Google Play (it's free!).
I've developed this app so, please, any feedback is welcome!
Best regards!

Doesn't work correctly on the 5X, once you have locked using the widget, you are then unable to unlock again with the fingerprint reader, you have to then use the keypad, that defeats the object of having a fingerprint sensor.

I'm pretty sure it does not... same issue with this.
Unless you create a widget that activate a root task to lock the screen, it will ask for the keypad.

I use nova launcher's gesture control to also launch Greenify's Hibernate and Lock Screen. Which works as intended... Fingerprint scanner unlocks device. Maybe im missing something in what you are saying.

Just tested it already too, does not work for me.
And it seems to be a known issue since 2 others thread are talking about it already
Maybe there's something you guys have done differently that make this work but I've done this :
1/ setting double tap on home screen with nova launcher to launch Greenify's Hibernate and Lock screen
2/ once device locked and screen turned off, puting my finger on the fingerprint. It does wake the phone but asks for the pin code which does not when you lock the phone with the hardware power button
And it's the same behavior with other launchers and apps that can turn off the screen

All the applications i have found seem to do this. You have to make the application a device administrator for it to work but because the application is controlling the lock, the fingerprint doesnt work and it forces you to enter the pattern. I am coming from a moto and really miss the breathing notifications.

I use this at night but I don't really want the screen on all day, if this had a "breathing" function it would be nice. Hoping google releases an update to change the ambient display.

Using Notific Pro without administrator permissions, only enabled notification access on the overview screen of the app. Works pretty well for me...

Is there an app that will shut my screen off?

Is there an app that will shut my screen off? I used one but it forces me to use a pin even if I use the fp reader
What's so difficult about a short press on the Power Button? Or change the Settings / Display / Sleep to less than the default 5 minutes.
In Settings / Fingerprint ID / Fingerprint Management (you will need your PIN here) is Unlock Screen set to On (blue with the circle on the right)?

I actually don't like using the hardware button to close screen. On my previous phone I would double tap to close screen but setting up that action with my launcher conflicts with fingerprint reader. While I normally don't use a flip case I bought one on a lark for my Mate 9. Mine (by Qialino) will close your screen automatically when you close the flap and the fingerprint reader works fine when you open it. You can bend the flip cover back and it will support the phone in landscape although it depends on the surface as it is not really designed for that..

I see, sorry. I've never had a phone that didn't need a press on the power button to lock. I had a look at a couple of apps since reading our post - they needed the PIN on wake, which negates the value.
I shall head to the Huawei site and suggest this (putting th ephone face down to lock) for their next update. At present, they suggest you use the "floating dock" to lock your phone without pressing the power button.
http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/faqs/detail/index.htm?id=121864
Why does fingerprint unlock fail after I lock the screen with a third-party app?
Cause : For security reasons, the fingerprint unlock service does not allow third-party apps to access your fingerprint data.
Solution : Use the lock button in the floating dock, or press the power button to lock the screen.

You can enable the floating dock by swiping down with two fingers - it is one of the quick toggles.

Yes I wrote this. But no one click lock. ZTE Z11 have simple lock screen widget. Huawei have floating circle and double click lock screen. It's not user friendly. But at least something. I very often working from my car. It's not user friendly to lock screen by floating circle by Huawei.
Latest Chinese rom B165SP01 has a default widget to lock screen now. Just have to wait for Huawei to update for other regions if they decide to port the function over.
Huawei added it after a lot of Chinese users complained on the forums. I guess they do look on the Chinese forums and read feedbacks.

Ah yes! What a silly place to put a widget! Actually, the reason I didn't see it is that it does not appear on my page of widgets for my launcher (Total Launcher). I checked and it did work with the default launcher as well as Nova.
Is there a way to import that widget to the us version?
A single tap icon to turn off screen would be great. The floating thing is cumbersome. There is a power bar widget in the UK phone but it only turns off wifi etc. There's a reboot widget too. The bit in the middle is missing.
The external app I tried took from 3 up to 15 seconds to fully switch off : it clears the screen immediately but the screen isn't actually off, just very nearly so. In that time, nothing responds.

Cannot use fingerprint to unlock after using screen off app

Hi there,
I tried to use screen off apps on my SS S8, but when unlocking, it requested PIN numbers instead of using the fingerprint.
The fingerprint only works if we lock screen using the physical button or after timeout.
Do you happen to know any workaround for this?
I read a thread on S7, suggesting using Nova launcher with Screen Lock widget. But, is there any setting we can change to use other apps?
Many thanks,
Nghia
That's general security setting of Android. Happens to me on my OnePlus 3 when it's locked by Greenify. Simply ditch those lock screen apps.

I use nova launcher plus lock screen to double tap gesture. Works fine.
How do u set it up in Nova?
Figured it out, nevermind. At first I thought it was built into Nova, but found the app and set it up. Thx
I was wondering if there are other apps can fix this as well.
Many thanks!

Played around with that app a little more, you actually need to enable that "show clear view" option, what it does is it would show the time on the screen for about one second before showing the AOD screen.

Use "softkey edge" which is a edge app works perfect. U can use iris or fingerprint after lock the phone using this edge app. Also it do not use device admin access..
You can download from galaxy apps and not avail in play store
OFF+ app work!

Do you have a link to this app?
This one works for me:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gr.ictpro.jsalatas.screenoff
I tried those other ones and did not have luck.. either the app did allow fingerprint but did not turn the screen off in a reliable way.. or they required pin / password to unlock..
but just found this one and it works so far!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redmanit.lockscreen
If this is still a question for anyone:
With nova launcher, you need to give it accessebility permission and choose in the nova settings to use a different lock screen method
The setting can be found in the nova settings by scrolling all the way down and choosing the last option in the advanced settings... Each option has an explanation for how it lockes the screen
