Dear all,
I own a Lenovo A 10 70 tablet and I want to deactivate the klack sound when filling in the pin for decryption at start process.
Root for the tablet is given and I think I have to remove a sound file at /system/media but I dont know which one.
Does anyone has an idea?

I am using Motorola S305 Bluetooth Stereo Headset and a Nexus One.
I use the Rewind/Fast Forward buttons with MortPlayer while listening to podcasts to rewind or skip forward in the podcast.
However, pressing any of the buttons first turns the screen on. This is silly because then I have a phone in my pocket or backpack with the screen turned on just wasting my battery.
Is there a way to stop this? Has anyone else experienced this?
This happens to me too, I have the same headset and an Atrix with PowerAmp. This also happens with the voice control.

Good, it's not just me
This makes using the headset buttons useless since I have to take my phone out of my pocket and turn the screen off anyway.
i have the same problem when button on headsets is pressed screen comes on
is it possible maybe too change something in " HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power "settings to stop this ,please help

Hah, funny you bumped this
I just upgraded to a Sensation and problem solved. Must be a Nexus One issue.
No is not problem with nexus ,i have htc hd and motorola s9 and i found a solution:i just installed another player conduits pocket player
it has many great options and one of them to "lock buttons toogles screen"
If your phone is rooted, I might have a solution for you (worked on my Xperia Mini Pro):
Edit the file /system/usr/keylayout/AVRCP.kl
(create a backup of this file, just in case something unwanted happens)
Remove the "WAKE" flag from the end of each line (I also removed the extra spaces, no sure if it's needed).
If (and I didn't find another way of doing this) you copied it to edit it, and then put it back in place: don't forget to keep the ownership/permissions!
On mine (android 2.3.4, based on xperia mini pro stock rom) I had to:
chmod 644 AVRCP.kl
and
chown root:root AVRCP.kl
Reboot your phone, and voila! No more "wake" events before the actual wanted event (play/next/previous...).
Hope this helps

Wow, blast from the past haha! (I kept my subscription to my thread)
Like I said previously, I switched to a HTC Sensation and it doesn't happen anymore. That is, if the lock screen is enabled.
I use NoLock to disable the lock screen, and when disabled, this issue does reappear. Odd...
I may have to test your method (I am rooted), though it seems somewhat daunting.....
I've just encrypted my Nexus 5 under Android 5.0 and I was hoping I could set a decryption PIN just for the startup boot process, and not every time I unlock my phone. I haven't managed to find a way to do this, though: it's possible to enable a startup PIN if you enable the lock screen PIN, but I don't see a way to simply enable a startup PIN.
My goal is simple: to secure my phone when it's powered off, while making it comfortable to use when it's powered on. Can this be done?
Thank you!
Not by standard. Not sure what affects using apps that turn the secure lock on and off will have. You can test them.

i'd say you want your phone to boot if you loose it (so you can track it), don't you think?

That's reasonable in most cases. But there are situations and circumstances in which the data privacy has a higher priority than the ability to track the phone. Anyway the question can be considered independently from its motivations: can I separate the encryption key from the lock screen key? According to issue 29468 and this discussion, it seems it's still not possible.

according to this:
http://source.android.com/devices/tech/encryption/
out of the box, no because the lock screen password/PIN/ is used to encrypt the actual encryption key (randomly generated)
thank you very much b/c indirectly you answered the question I had (the reason I was browsing this thread), namely the boot password thinggy (as I said I'd like the phone to boot, baring an exploit, it's well protected: bootloader relocked, long password, impossible to flash anything without wiping - I sign my builds cm-12 with my own keys, and I crippled the recovery to allow only signed zips-, and no adb -even in recovery- connection outside my own computer, I installed cerberus in the system partition without a backup script, the only way to get rid of it is to explicitly format the system partition, and above all I don't trust the phone ).
that said, it should be possible may be to fiddle with vold's sources to make it so (separate passwords, it shouldn't be too hard ) the only problem in the absence of an "official" solution (be it in AOSP or the flavor du jour Android) the user is backed into a corner : build his own ROM from sources.
As I have upgraded my Motorola xt1033 to the new and improved lollipop version I now have to swipe to unlock my phone aswel as the pattern password I prefer to use and have been in all settings and it only brings up my pattern password so have to unlock my phone twice to get into it and I think its ridiculous that when playing music through another device hooked up ie Bluetooth stereo that when phone was locked on old upgraded version you could still skip song on the locked screen so now I have to unlock phone twice to change music or even when I pin music app still have same problem when getting a txt ect can someone please tell me how to get rid of the swipe password thing on main screen when I already have pattern password I prefer?
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.

Good luck
There is no way around the double swipe from what I have seen. I have used Lollipop on my Nexus 4, Note 2, and Moto G.
Hi, I am trying improve the security on my phone, There has been a recent report about a guy who was forced to enter his unlock screen password to border officials at the airport (although he didn't comply). This is a HUGE abuse of power and an even bigger violation of privacy.
I hope never to be in that situation, but if i am i want an easy way out so i am looking for the following solutions:
Entering a secret code / Pattern on the lockscreen that would trigger a factory reset
And / Or
A secret code / Pattern on the lockscreen that would load a "dummy" home Lanucher
as far as i can tell neither exist. Any help/Advice would be great, thanks
Just enter into the guest mode?
HOW??

How? I mean suppose that official is infront of you , how will you switch to gusest mode wihout letting him know .... i mean in power off option ?? or any other way?
What you are describing is similar to the plausible deniability mode of Truecrypt. However Android doesn't have this function natively, and I don't see how you can implement it without doing some major modification to the system.
What about bringing a secondary phone as a distraction instead?
There is already one major bug in Google Play services 7.0.97 reported by Android Police which alllows attackers to unlock the phone without any password since it takes around 15 ~ 20 seconds to re-apply the lock. Another hole seems that attackers could steal your phone if your phone just gets into the standby mode with disabled sceen. There are general known attacks with such smart-lock enabled function which allows to bypass the pin.
not sure if this is relevant , but on any phone i've owned with a 'swipe-down-status-bar' when phone is showing lock screen all i have to do is swipe the status bar down and can click on any icon to bypass lockscreen then back out of that setting , i.e. settings , apps , wifi , etc. and will be on home screen.
"all I can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"

That only works if you didn't set any password lock.
I have es file manager, and i zip and password protect files or folders wich i need but dont want people finding if my phone ever gets stolen. you can check that out.
Maybe there's gonna be something I oversee, but you could (easily) do this with Tasker.
You could use tasker to make an 'app' to login with a different profile on your android. By opening that app, you go into a self-defined stealth-mode, where you disable everything you want to hide and where you open a minimal homescreen.
Tasker + Secure Settings should have all the tools you need to set it up without destroying your real security.
Maybe dual booting to an empty ROM with sdcard access removed and only a small amount of fake information down on the device?
Would not help if they decided to copy your entire devices info for a close exam but should fool most guards into thinking you don't use your phone much.
Just reboot into that ROM at any time you think anyone would ever check.
:angel::crying:so no I didn't steal this phone, I paid for it (cuz I'm dumb).
I've been using the phone anyway thanks to a walkthrough. I found out how to still use the phone despite the lock. But I'd like to remove it completely. I don't own a computer or OTG cable so I need to find a way to do it from the phone itself. I thought possibly if I can find out what what specific apps control the fr then maybe I could deactivate those apps and reset the phone if anybody has any ideas please comment.
I'm able to activate deactivate apps change permissions all that kind of stuff through settings what not but I don't know which app specifically control or disable the screen locks that comes with it if I could just disable the screen lock and regain the home screen and access to play etc I'd be just as happy.
Thanks for your time and thoughts and sorry if this is the wrong are for this post.
P.s.

I'm using a Moto 4e and have Android 7.1
