DroidLock is a security application that sets your lock screen PIN code to the current time/date/battery resulting in an ever changing PIN that can not be shoulder surfed.
FEATURES
Time Pin
12H Time: If the time is 01:23, your PIN will be 0123
24H Time: If the time is 01:23, your PIN will be 1323
Offset Minutes to add or subtract to the current time: Offset =10 and 12H: If the time is 01:23, your PIN will be 0133
Custom Offset Minutes Value
Date Pin
International Format (DD/MM): PIN will be 0405 (May 4, 2016)
USA Format (MM/DD): PIN will be 0504 (May 4, 2016)
2 Digit Year (DD/MM/YY or MM/DD/YY): PIN will be 040516 (International Format) (May 4, 2016)
4 Digit Year (DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY): PIN will be 04052016 (International Format) (May 4, 2016)
Battery Pin
The current battery percentage is set as your password: Phone Battery %: 52, PIN will be 5252
Geek Pin (Customized Pin)
The user can choose any of the available components and form a combination and set it as the phone password. See the screenshots for examples. (PIN can be a combination of battery, hours(12H), month, minutes : 52010523)
ADD-ON TYPES
The following Add-ons to morph the PIN and to further enhance security.
Double: Doubles the PIN. If the time is 12:34, your PIN will be 12341234
Mirror: Mirrors the PIN. If the time is 12:34, your PIN will be 12344321
Sum: Adds the digits of the PIN. If the time is 12:34, the PIN will be 1010 as 1+2+3+4.
Reverse: Reverses the pin. If the time is 12:34, your PIN will be 4321
The pin then changes dynamically based on the chosen settings and options making it impossible to be predicted. Download this app to lock your phone and dance your way through piggybackers.

Q. Your rescue method is also not working and I'm root user
- Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2244741
Q. Your rescue method is also not working and I'm a not a root user
- Only option is to do a factory reset or flash your firmware once again
Q. Now I hate you because of your app, I lost my data
- This app is still in beta. You are testing at your own risk. We are trying hard to support majority of the devices. We can't afford own all the devices. We have kept a donation in-app product so that we can spend some money on buying the device and physically test it.
Q. When will you release this app for all?
- Only after we feel that we have supported most of the devices.
Q. How can I help you as a beta tester?
- Use the app for few days and share your experience along with your device name, android version, Stock ROM or custom ROM.
Q. Can I deny the permissions that I granted to the app?
- Why to fall into problem?
Q. What happens if I disable master toggle?
- Just don't do that
- It won't reactivate your old lockscreen style
Q. Does your app drains the battery as it stays in the background?
- Hardly 1%
Q. I want to report some bug or issue.
- Post it here
- A supporting video(at least 720p) would be much helpful so that we can virtually look what's happening
Q. How do I uninstall this app?
- Go to Security - >Device Admin Rights - > Uncheck DroidLock

- But let us know if you are interested.
Q. What will I get by testing your app?
- Dynamic PINs which no one can predict
Q. A persistent notification about your app stays and I want to disable it.
- Don't disable it as it is in testing phase. We'll provide some solution to it later on
Q. I uninstalled your app, but my lockscreen type is still PIN style.
- The unlocking PIN will be your master PIN
- You need to physically change it from your settings
Q. Is smartlock working?
- Only one the user says yes http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66788380&postcount=70
Q. I have a Huawei device
- Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66757123&postcount=58
Q. I want to know how many times your(Havan Somaiya) device was locked up?
- To be specific, it was 3 times. But I was lucky enough to break the PIN by guesswork. I managed to recollect the last successful PIN I used when master pin was not working.
- Rescue Mode was not deployed during those development days.
Q. I'm locked up and I know what is adb and it is configured with my system
- Adb shows your current unlocking pin
Search for "Op:" in the adb logs
Q. I'm tired of reading all these questions.
- Thanks for reading and I'm thankful to you for testing DroidLock for your device
Q: How can I uninstall this app?
A: Go to Settings > Security > Device Administrators and disable DroidLock. You can now uninstall DroidLock normally.
Q: How to dismiss the persistent notification in the status bar?
A:The notification is necessary to ensure DroidLock isn't killed by the system or cleaning apps like Clean Master. For now don't disable the notifications by going to App Info. Reason: On 3 wrong password attempts it will send a notification that 'Pin reset to master Pin'
Q: Locked out of the device and forgot the time/date/battery options selected?
A: Restart the device and enter master pin.
Q: Does the master PIN stays the unlock password even after 1st Unlock?
A: In some devices like Sony Xperia, it takes about 3 minutes for the app to initialize itself and set the unlock password as per the options selected.
Q: I have found a bug. How do I report?
A: Report the bug in detail along with the logs and a video to support your claim.
Q: Can I help you somehow?
A: Yes, of course!
- Read the last question about supported devices and help us know if you have a device where the app doesn't work or has some problems.
- If you could produce a video highlighting all the features of the app, we will make it our default video on play store.
Q: Which are the devices used to test during the development of this app?
A: All Stock UI devices and specific OEMs like
- Nexus Devices
- OnePlus Devices
- Motorola Devices
- Samsung Devices
- Sony Xperia Devices
- Xiaomi Devices
Please let us know if you have tried any other devices and can ensure complete functioning of this app. We'll add it in our list.

Would you guys want to test some experimental builds to make it compatible with Android N? If yes please PM me.
Works fine on Moto G! A really good replacement for TimePin!
Sent from my XT1033 running good ol' Stock ROM
Great idea!
Just too bad that here in Vegas at 2PM in broad daylight I can hardly see my pattern lock, never mind a keyboard with numbers etc.
App works fine. Could you make Smart Lock work with this, please? I'm using SONY Xperia Z3 (D6603) on eXistenZ v1.0.5 (Marshmallow).
Tested
Yes I have tested it and it works LIKE A BOSS!
SERIOUSLY, if I was a boss, a CEO, etc, this would top my phone off!
But alas, not yet. At least I have a super awesome app that a whole team of people were kind enough to publish! :victory:
I'm surprised though, why isn't this already followed by at least 1,000 people?
---------- Post added at 05:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 AM ----------
For phones that have a proximity sensor in front, would it be possible to add to the settings of the app an additional feature whether or not the proximity sensor is covered to make it work? An additional security feature for those that want it.
Not working Fine
Its working on my samsung galaxy tab 3 smt210 (Nolekat 4.4.2)but the number 0 is not typing instead the number 1,5,7 comes randomly

Why just 1,000? We need more than that number
We'll improve DroidLock App as time goes on and try to add the feature suggested by you.
You can check our future roadmap in the OP. We cannot give you any ETAs for suggested features.
Thanks for using DroidLock App :good:

Thanks for using DroidLock. Do share your experience with us so that we can understand how many devices are supported by DroidLock and how many of them are not.
Can we have an option to enter the md5# of the current time?
This is an awesome idea, and I'll be testing it on 2 devices and report back.
EDIT: Installed on my Galaxy Tab S 8.4 w/stock 5.0, and it works properly. Also survives a reboot.

Is it the same app as this one : Screenshot Ultimate ?
It seems that the presentation in googleplay are equivallent and it is the same seller !
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icecoldapps.screenshotultimate&hl=fr
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icecoldapps.screenshotnow
It is not clear if the application does work for unrooted devices without the need during the screenshot to connect the device to a PC
This test (in FAQ) is very strange, if something is installed in the smartphone it should be explained clearly.
The auto detecting didn’t find a single screen capture method!
It’s quite normal if your device isn’t rooted. The reason it’s hard for apps to take a screenshot is because Android normally doesn’t allow it for security reasons. But if you follow the manual inside the app you can easily fix it, without rooting your phone/tablet. Go to “Screenshot Now” -> “Help” -> “No capture method help” and follow the tutorial. You will use your computer (Windows, Linux or OSX) to install a small file on your phone which will enable screenshots. This is a small bug in Android which we use for taking screenshots. If you need help just contact us.

Those are some good questions! We made Screenshot Ultimate to be available for free but it misses some features compared to Screenshot Now. Screenshot Now also has a way better layout while Screenshot Ultimate is really simple.
The applications should work without root. On some unrooted devices the apps work without connecting to a computer but on most unrooted devices you need to connect your device to a computer.
What actually happens when you connect the device to a computer is that the computer runs a small script (which is already installed when you installed the app on the device) on the device which runs with root privileges. That causes the small script (which is part of the screenshot app) to take screenshots while normally that isn't allowed. When you reboot your device the script is automatically stopped and can only be started as root again when you connect your device again to a computer.
Let me know whether you understand everything or still have questions.
Thanks for the clarification.
Please let me know in case you still require a French Translation.

Just found this thread! Looking forward to the update! The test version of Screenshot Ultimate with the additional capture methods worked out the issues I had. Method 10 worked for me where no others did in the past. I'm running a droid bionic, rooted, with safestrap, on cm10.1. Thanks for the great work and prompt email replies! It's nice to work with great devs! Looking forward to this implementation into screenshot now!
@OlivierTheBest A french translation would be great. I just PMed you! If anyone else want to help with translating please let me know!
@BitGeeker Great to hear it works, but I think you're talking about Screenshot Ultimate, that one has a separate thread
I purchased Screenshot Now. I was sent the test version of Screenshot Ultimate. Was hoping the new capability would be integrated into Screenshot Now.
Sent using Motorola's locked boot loader. Especially designed to crush the creative mind!
Ah, ok. We'll implement the same new methods into Screenshot Now as well but that might take 1-2 weeks. If you want a refund for Screenshot Now just PM me.
Also, if you have more feedback about Screenshot Now please let me know!
SmartLockScreenMake your lockscreen smarter than ever before!For Jellybean, KitKat and Lollipop devices
The Idea
The main idea behind this app can be considered as an extended version of 'Smart Lock' introduced by Google in Lollipop. The development of this app started before Google announced L during I/O 14, though.
We are in different environments at different times, and might prefer different security levels in each environment.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Using this app, you can define different environments and assign different passwords to each of them.
App will detect environment changes automatically and presents you the assigned password whenever you want to unlock the phone!
_What's an Environment?
Wi-Fi networks, Bluetooth devices and Location areas (geofences) can be used to define environments.
Specifying multiple parameters for an environment checks for all of them.
Assigning a password to an environment is done at the time of creating an environment. Support for more password types are coming in the future.
_There's more!
Lollipop style lockscreen with notifications for Jellybean and KitKat (can be disabled)
Restricted profiles - Set up restricted profiles for your friends/family and limit access to apps. You can assign a different password to each restricted profile (password, pin, pattern or none).
Intelligent environment overlap resolution. But you always have the option to override it manually.
Material Design, and smooth animations. (See screenshots below)
_Some details
The app uses admin privileges to set system password, so it comes with the security of Stock lock screen
Pattern lock is supported. If you have root, stock pattern lock will be used. Please see Post #3 for more details. If you do not have root, a built-in pattern library is used (it still sets a user-defined master password in the background so that lockscreen is actually secure). But this built-in pattern is not guaranteed to work in every device.
The core functionality is working, but this is still a work in progress. Please report bugs, crashes etc in this thread. Logcat will be highly appreciated!

_FAQs
1. My screen froze while on lock screen. How to recover?
Ans: Try rebooting the phone by long pressing power button. Upon reboot, try master password first, if it does not work, try passwords which you've set for different environments. Try to reproduce the problem, and send us a logcat.
2. How to uninstall the app?
Ans: First open SmartLockScreen Settings, delete all environments, and set passphrase for unknown environment as None. Then go to Settings -> Security -> Device Administrators, uncheck SmartLockScreen there. Now uninstall the app just like any other app. Please come back to this thread and post why you uninstalled it, what's missing/what's bothering you.
3. Can you add fingerprint sensor support?
Ans: I'm looking into it. Till Lollipop, there's no standard API or structure for fingerprint sensors, so parts of the implementation will have to be device specific or manufacturer specific. That being said, I'm trying to add support to Samsung devices first.
Also, things should improve with Android M, since fingerprint APIs will become standardized with it.
FAQs will be updated when certain questions get frequently asked.

Version Information
Status: Alpha v3.0
Examples, Screenshots, and Reviews
Tutorial made by WonderHowTo.com(old version of the app is used)
_
Configuring environments
Let's consider some examples.
Say you want to set phone password as none automatically whenever your bluetooth headset is connected to it. Just go to manage environments screen, click the '+' button on top right, give a name and hint for the environment, click checkbox on Bluetooth card, select your bluetooth device after clicking the button that appears. Go down to passphrase card, choose none. Click done button at the top. That's it!
Whenever you are not connected to the headset, phone password will automatically change to Unknown Environment password(if you have set it) or the master password, if you haven't set password specifically for unknown environment.
Let's consider another scenario, you want no security at home, pattern at work, and a pin elsewhere. Just add 2 environments corresponding to home and work. You can use Wi-Fi or Location or both to identify the environment. Remember that if you set both Wi-Fi and Location, it'll check for both; i.e. you have to be connected to the Wi-Fi network, as well as in the particular area defined. If you want to detect in either case, just make 2 separate environments, 1 with Wi-Fi and 1 with location, and give the same passphrase in both.
Any number of environments can be added. You can set any passphrase for any environment, including unknown environment. You build the configuration that works best for you.
_
Configuring restricted profiles
Suppose you want to share your phone with your child, and make sure that (s)he can access only certain games which you have downloaded for her. Go to SmartLockScreen Settings, click the item which shows the current user, click 'Add new profile', and give it a name. Now click on the new profile (it must have appeared in that list). You'll see 2 new options in the Nav drawer now. Click allowed apps and click on the games which you want to allow, plus the launcher app you're using currently. Now go to set passphrase and set a suitable passphrase. You can set none if anyone anytime can unlock your phone using that profile, or you can set something else as well.
To switch profiles, just turn off the screen and turn it back on. Click on the user icon which appears at the top right corner. List of profiles will appear. Click on the desired profile to switch to. The screen will turn off and on again so that the password change will take effect.

Instructions, Downloads, Changelogs, Known Bugs etc
Important - Please read carefully
If you choose to use 'System pattern lock (Requires root)' - this option can be found in General Settings->Pattern Type if you have root access - please be careful.
This feature has been tested in AOSP ROMs only. Please make a nandroid backup, or at least Ti backups, especially if you're on a custom skin of Android like TouchWiz.
I request everyone to test this feature and report success/failure so that any problems which could arise can be fixed quickly
_
System Requirements
Android 4.1+
Latest Google Play Services
Notifications in lock screen works only in 4.3+, as of now. We're working to bring them to lower versions as well
Doesn't work in MIUI. We would like to get testers who can work with us to sort out the issues with MIUI
Testing has been done mainly on AOSP based ROMs (mainly a Nexus 4 and Nexus 5). The app might crash or not work as expected in certain manufacturer versions of Android. We haven't seen this behavior anywhere yet, but we would like to find out, and sort out the issues.

Important: The basic initialization steps haven't been compiled into a proper set up wizard when app first runs, so please follow these instructions carefully.
Download the apk (see below) and install it.
Go to Settings -> Security and change password to none. This is done so that unlock becomes simple whenever password is set to none by the app.
Install the apk file. See downloads to get the apk file.
For Android 4.3+, Go to Settings -> Security -> Notification Access and select SmartLockScreen.
Open SmartLockScreen settings. You'll be prompted to set a master passphrase, and activate Device Admin for that app, after which you'll be taken to Main Settings screen. Master passphrase can only be password/pin for security, and it'll be used by default on unknown environments. You can set a different password for unknown environment though, from Manage Environments screen. Add different environments using '+' menu item in Manage Environments screen.
Click on the user name to see list of profiles. Click add new profile option in the list to add restricted profiles. Once you select a restricted profile from the list, the options available will change accordingly and you can set which apps are allowed for that profile and what passphrase should be used for that profile.

Known issues
Pattern lock does not keep track of incorrect attempts (in non-root mode).
Location has a tendency to fail, especially indoors. Setting a larger radius can help in such cases.
Slight delay in unlock after entering pattern, in certain situations - Doesn't happen if you have root, and has System pattern enabled.

Thanks for the feedback. Can you tell me what exactly happens when you enter a pattern? I'll definitely try to resolve the issue ASAP.

I set the new enviroment. If I choose none or pin or password, then it asks me them correctly, but if I choose the pattern then it asks me the master password.

Do you see an overlay showing the time, before you're entering your password? If not, drawing overlays doesn't seem to be working. Can you please tell me your android version, and ROM, if its not stock?
Installed and seems to be working
Tested so far: Set environment "Work" to activate when I am connected to their wifi. No security - Works no problem. When I set patter, pin or password, my previous lockscreen shows up after I swipe up to unlock. Then I have to swipe up again. Then the security (pin, password, Pattern) comes up and once entered I get on my home screen (or whatever app I left off at). I am using Viper Rom 6..2.1 (Android 4.4.2) on HTC One M7.
Same stuff happens with unknown environment. When set to none, one swipe up goes to where I left off.
Is that a design flaw in Android or does your app activate the stock lockscreen?
Btw love how everything looks. One thing that is kind of annoying is showing me as a notification what environment I am in. Did you mean to design it like that or no? Basically I like to have a clean screen when there are no notifications. I can swipe it away but it comes back after turn off and turn back on the screen.

Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback.
That is a design flaw in Android, I'd have to say. If the phone should be truly secure, the password should be set as system password. But then, in certain implementations of Android, along with it, comes an additional screen, like the one on HTC. This doesn't happen in AOSP actually, at least till KitKat. I'm thinking of ways to solve this problem.. Initial thoughts suggest that the app should provide an option to disable the lock screen overlay showing the notifications.
Regarding the persistent notification, we'll add an option to turn that off.

If you have enabled the option 'Disable HW Overlays' in developer options, please try switching that off. If that does not work, I'll definitely investigate further. I might need your help, I'll PM you in that case.

Wow thanks for a quick reply. I will set up no security for the places where I spend most of my day. And for the rest, I will just deal with it for now. Will let you know if there are any other issues. Thanks

Swiping left freezes my phone completely. It gets about half way in the animation and freezes. Turning off and on does not fix it. A restart goes back to normal but I tried swiping again and it froze again. No security set in current environment. Swiping right works fine and the dialer shows up after a second or two. Again, Using HTC One M7 with Viper Rom (Android 4.4.2).

Would it be too much to ask for a logcat? Intent to open camera on HTC devices must be different. It'll be solved in next version.
Edit: On second thoughts, it might be the absence of a "secure" camera module in Sense. Didn't think that devices might not have it. I'll add the fix right away. Unfortunately I won't be able to upload a new version until Sunday, I'm preparing for my GRE (on Saturday).

Heres a log cat plus a screenshot of how the freeze looks like (Phone still lets me take a screenshot with the physical buttons).
I have no idea how to read a logcat
EDIT: I dont mind waiting. This is not important to me as I mainly want the notifications. The dialer and camera are pluses. Your test is way more important and you should focus on that right now. Good luck on the test.
Edit 2: Attached a second logcat generated by app "alogcat"

Yup, identified the problem. It's as I thought, no activity for secure camera. Logcat helped a lot. I owe you a thanks.
This app is exactly what I've been looking for, except one small detail - it doesn't support my device's Android version!
Darn, why does nobody make apps for 2.1 anymore?
Oops, I know the answer - it's outdated and old. But still, it's not fun having a device that can use so few apps.
Oh yeah, it's the Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight, by the way.

While developing, we tried to make it support the lowest version of android possible, but there were certain apis absent in ICS and below which we simply couldn't do without. But in the future, I'll try and reduce the min android version.

Thanks for the feedback. We will be adding a setting to show soft buttons on the webpage under the screen picture for devices that don't have soft keys enabled by default. We have this on our list and will add this for sure.
In the mean time as a workaround you can try some apps that can enable soft buttons on your device. We understand that's inconvenient to say the least but still.
Thanks,

You may workaround it with SoftKey Enabler or similar apps to show soft keys while you are connected. This will be needed until we add the setting for soft keys. We will be working on this with high priority.

very nice app/service... wait for a PM from me
also since this post is still on your first page. here's a link to the free app on the playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=weak.WeakControl.Free
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiibxAEGO-s
TK just posted this. Hope this brings more awareness. This is pretty awesome.
I tried to install this on the tab plus p7200, unfortunately the devise does not seem to be supported.
Please add support for more devises. or older versions of android. :good:
not working
Not working on nexus 5 running lolliop.it says "Weak control failed".
not working on oneplus one downloaded the free app that's ok up and running,followed the instructions get to the stage to connect to P.C and it never accepts the pin generated and never goes further...superuser allowed so no probs there
Sadly does not work, i just can't access the adress it gives me, it keeps on loading and then says "Connection has timed out" yes I'm connected to the Internet on both my device and PC, what am I doing wrong??
Edit: I realised that I needed to create a WIFI Hotspot on my PC and then connect to it with my device, but now the problem is after entering the PIN given by the app nothing happens, it just freezes just like that, i click on "connect" several times, nothing happens
Edit 2: Finally managed to get it working, it seems like only Goggle Chrome Broweser works with it. What i can say is, ther's great potential, on my Galaxy Note 10.1 running Kitkat 4.4.2, it lags terribly, actually it causes my device to lag also, maybe coz I'm still running the free version, other than that, great app I like it, since it's still in beta it promises to only get better
I don't suggest downloading the free version to anyone. It's very annoying when the message pops up to buy the full version. there is only one button to press, and that is buy, back key won't do anything, at this point to stop the app the only way is to force close it. And this happens too frequently
Very nice!
It's working very nicely on my Samsung Galaxy S4 (i9505)
Thank you!

Hi,
I've developed a widget to toggle (preferred) network types, e.g., 2G, 3G, 2G/3G, LTE, on Android 5.0/5.1 (Lollipop), Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), and Android 7.0/7.1 (Nougat). It requires root.
This is an xda-exclusive free version! If you want to support me, please consider getting the paid version on Google Play or check out my other apps.
Please note: Redistribution of this app is not allowed!
New: Support for dual SIM/multi SIM devices on Android 6.0 and later.
Paid version on Google Play (same functionality): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cygery.togglenetworktype
Device compatibility: second post
Features:
Widget (cycle through configurable list of network types)
Locale/Tasker plugin (set specific network type or toggle to next)
Shortcut (set specific network type or toggle to next)
Custom names for network types (text shown on the widget)
Custom background image or color
Configure text size and color
Dual SIM/multi SIM support on Android 6.0 and later
Device Support
Device support depends on a variety of factors, including your specific device model, Android version, installed (custom) ROM, used root provider (su binary), and SELinux configuration. This app includes options to deal with different configurations of some of those factors. Please let me know if this app does not work on your device.
Notes
The widget is passive. Thus, it has to request root every time it is refreshed. Although the battery impact is negligible, this usually results in frequent (Toast) messages indicating that the app was granted root rights. Please refer to your superuser management app if you'd like to disable those messages specifically for this app.
This app includes a (static) shortcut and a (dynamic) widget. Usually, both shortcut and widget are shown in the same list which is used to add them to your homescreen although this list is commonly just labeled "Widgets". For reference, the screenshots in this post show the widget. The shortcut looks like the app icon and has rounded corners. Please note: sometimes the widget is not shown immediately after installing this app. This is likely a bug in the launcher/homescreen app. Please reboot your device in that case.
Known issues:
Android 6/7: When the network type is changed via this app and then the cell radio system settings are opened, the network type is reset to the one set there. Similarly, the previous issue might happen after a reboot or when airplane mode is toggled on and off.
Android 6/7: Some devices/(beta) ROMs don't work with this app (currently). Please search the thread for more details/user reports.
Network type specific: Depending on your device and carrier when using certain modes, e.g., LTE only, you might be unable to send or receive calls, SMS, etc. This is a technical limitation and has nothing to do with this app. Please keep this limitation in mind in case you are not sure whether you are affected by it or not.
Network type specific: Depending on your device/Android version/(custom) ROM/etc. some network types might be unavailable, don't work, or, when trying to select them, result in a different one being activated instead. Please search the thread for more details/user reports. This is outside of this app's control.
Custom ROMs: On some custom ROMs, the default toggle mechanism does not work. There exists a "custom ROM mode" which uses a different method that works on (most) CyanogenMod ROMs and other custom ROMs based on it. However, some network types are not supported by the custom ROM mode. When trying to set them, e.g., the app freezes. Please disable any such unsupported types via the app settings. Additionally, depending on the device/ROM, setting the preferred network type might work, e.g., via the Locale/Tasker plugin or shortcut, but this app might be unable to retrieve the currently set preferred network type. In such cases, toggling to the "next" preferred network type doesn't work since this app doesn't know the current preferred network type.
Other issues: When reporting any issues please include the following info in your post: Device, ROM and ROM version, exact version number of this app you use (don't just write "latest"), superuser management app (e.g., SuperSU) and version, content of any shown error messages. Describe in detail what you tried to do, what you expected to happen, and what happened instead. Include screenshots/screencasts where possible and useful to show the issue.
Cheers,
cygery

HTC One (different models affected, reason unknown, might be ROM-related)
Moto X X1092 (with Android 6.0)
2015 Moto X Pure Edition [XT1575] (with Android 6.0)
Oxygen OS (some devices/versions affected)
old/unfinished CM12.1-based ROMs show a "-3" error when trying to toggle (this is a bug in the ROM which in some cases is fixed in more recent releases) workaround added in version 1.1.5.1 ( "custom ROM mode" )
(reserved2)
Wonderful. Initial testing seems to work, the network mode in settings change when pressed.
Will this go into the Play Store? Would love to support your effort.

Oh yes...this only works on Lollipop? Does it work on Kitkat as well?

Hi,
I've developed a widget to toggle (preferred) network types, e.g., 2G, 3G, 2G/3G, LTE, on Android 5.0 (Lollipop). It requires root.
Spoiler
This is an xda-exclusive free version! If you want to support me, please consider getting the paid version on Google Play or check out my other apps.
Please note: Redistribution of this app is not allowed!
Device compatibility: second post
Features:
Widget (cycle through configurable list of network types)
Locale/Tasker plugin (set specific network type or toggle to next)
Shortcut (set specific network type or toggle to next)
Cheers,
cygery
PS: As far as I know, this is the only app/widget allowing you to toggle preferred network types on Android 5.0. Please correct me if this is wrong.

@cygery I recall seeing some hesitation to post Play Store links in one of your other threads. I'm pretty certain that you'd be fine to do so, as long as a free version is included as well (see: BetterBatteryStats).
That said, y'all should definitely pick this one up. On sale as we speak!

Strange.....was looking/refreshing dev's list of apps and this never appeared.
Bought!
Thanks a lot, works fantastic.
If I want to use that with other apps than Locale or Tasker (in my case Lama), what is the Intend I need to use to set the network mode? What is the syntax?
Great job.

Well done - Works like charm - Tasker intergration like a champ ^^ Chipped in by getting it from the playstore. Keep it up ! Cheerz!
PowerToggles
Works great as a PowerToggles custom toggle. I only wish its icon would update to show you what mode it's in right now.
Right now I have to also have the built-in "Data Network Toggle" added, which tells you what mode it's in after you click on it.

Run it as a shortcut, no need to fool around with intents.

Thanks! Google Play indeed behaves strange, it (sometimes?) takes several hours until an app is shown on the developer page although it's already visible on its own page. Now everything seems to be there.
The method I used in this app doesn't work on KitKat or earlier, it was introduced in Android 5.0. Although I'm still checking for another way I don't have much hope because many others have searched and I haven't seen that anyone found a method.

Yes, I suggest that, too. If you really want to do it manually, check Locale's documentation.

The widget does this when you click it or when the connectivity changes. As far as I know, it's not possible to update the shortcut icon. Anyway, I abstained from polling the selected network type in case of external changes - it's just a waste of battery.
Small update (1.0.3.0) which shouldn't affect anyone who downloaded the app from this thread. This update just removed the requirement for telephony hardware from the AndroidManifest. Thus, the app is now visible via Google Play on devices without phone hardware, e.g., tablets with a data modem.

Will wait for this version to appear on Store.
However running the previous version from this thread on my Shield tablet LTE, none of the network options can be selected i.e. greyed out. Is that a problem?
Edit : installed the latest version, all the options are still greyed out. So didn't work on Shield tablet LTE for now.

Just saw this on reddit. This is great news. Atleast we know we are getting it instead of feeling like the forgotten bastard child lol
any screenshots? really do not like the g5's new UI, hoping the v10 stays looking like it does.

Yes, both from the phone update itself, and LG Bridge.
no update yet
turkey V10s are also getting the update already!
I hope this is coming to the US! Sitting here with my boring not updated tmobile version here! (of course I'm not really complaining since we're bootloader unlocked and rootable!)
Sent from my pretty nifty brand new LG V10
Great news! Can't wait~
Hi, I updated to MM yesterday and phone works a little bit faster, more smooth on menu or setting changes.
I dont see any UI or UX changes.
Fingerprint sensor was very laggy and hard time to read and I rescanned my fingers to get it work.
Camera software is same (overall taking good pics)
Cannot say anything about battery just updated the device
Process takes long time and first I got error via LG Bridge ( For Mac ) and then tried OTA, after 3 hours I was able to connect to OTA update center.(Dont give up trying)
Knock Code is using 6 touches at least instead of 4, this really bothered me.
If I see more then I'll keep you informed guys.

Can anyone check if the update allows you to unlock previously unlockable bootloaders now?
To do so, enable developers options and enable OEM unlock (may wipe your data)
Adb > fastboot OEM unlock >
With DM verity being enabled in 6.x.x you might (don't quote me on this) loose root if you update. Up until someone makes a rooted system.
