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.

I'm using a i9000 on latest cyanogen build from repo.
I would make screenshots with another font ;-).

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.

doesn't work on ICS 4.0.2...

Which phone are you using and which part doesn't work?

New update! Should fix up the phones having the lockscreen suddenly locking and also those who still has their stock lockscreen show up.

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.

Anyone gotten into the System UI Tuner on Marshmallow? How?

So I have successfully upgraded OTA to 6.0.1 and rooted.
I'd like a relatively easy way to turn hot spot on and off without having to go through at least three clicks (and that's if I put the Settings icon on the home screen; otherwise it's four).
The old tried-and-true method of editing the Settings DB with SQLite no longer works. I thought I'd just give the new System UI Tuner a try, but it would appear that Sprint/Samsung have locked this out. The two known methods to enable it (long press on the gear icon after pulling down the window shade, or going to Developer Options under settings) are not available on the Sprint S5. I can see the System UI Tuner package intact on the phone, but there's no way, as far as I can tell, to launch it.
For that matter, Sprint seems to have removed all the Settings widgets except "Flashlight," so you can't even put a setting widget on the home screen to get you close.
If anyone has figured out how to get into the UI Tuner, or restore the locked Settings widgets, please let me know.
Before anyone suggests it, yes, I am aware that there is a root app to enable/disable the hot spot on the market, and I have the APK for it. I removed it because it runs continuously, even when not using the hot spot, generating "granted root access" popups at inopportune times. Besides, I'd kinda like to see what else is in the UI Tuner to tweak.
Thanks.

Awesome thanks! Could you fix your link though? There's nothing in the folder when I click on the link.

DELETED

This is awesome, thank you! Would you mind sharing your Tasker project? I'd like to be able to toggle night mode with Tasker.

I am trying to use but it not functional. Something I miss?
Edit: Fixed by giving Massages storage permissions.
I tested a little bit the app and then the toggle stopped working

I have the latest 2.0. I gived permissions to mass storage and gived root permissions with Magisk Root. I played with colours to give the correct colour (this yellowish tint that have also pixel devices ) and after that toggle stopped working and when I try to change, I press the and I try to enable with toggle and nothing happens

I really don't understand this request, why use tasker when this app as no background processes and a simple QS tile? anyway, yes i can share but remember : this app don't enable night mode, only change display rgb value , the end user set this value, more you lower the blue and the green value more reddish your display is , so don't expect a simple toggle for night mode under some settings. i provide a link as soon as possible

Anyway i didn't tried with magisk so i don't know if can depend on this.

Automation, that's why. Also I want to peek under the hood.
There's a few issues with the app. It app force-closes on startup. Look of Disapproval does the same thing and so did Custom Quick Settings until the dev updated it. I'll try and grab a logcat. It's something to do with Android Oreo, but I'm not sure what.
The app only opened right away on first run, now I have to tap it, wait until MagiskSU grants su permissions a couple times, then tap the Quick Setting tile and then it will open. It does not apply unless I tap the icon in the upper right that looks like a refresh icon or tap the tile again so it's "off", then tap it again to turn it "on".

The values are right , the app have stopped to work after some time or not worked at all? Have you the stock kernel? i think it's something related to magisk, but i don't have soo much time for checking it right now

There's a security block to 30.
Why? Because if you accidentally put everything to 0 your screen become totally black, and the only way to restore is via adb or recovery, so i suggest never use value under 30, for a good results i use: Red-255 Green-160 blue-100. ?

Works amazingly on a Moto G4 Plus XT1641 with ElementalX Kernel. Thanks.

Now it works great.

Featured by:
XDA-Developers: Customize the Google Pixel 2’s Active Edge to do any action with Edge Sense Plus [XDA Spotlight]​
What is Edge Sense Plus?
Edge Sense Plus was initially just meant for the HTC U series. It let's you customize the squeeze action and adds some more squeeze gestures and features.
But with the Pixel2 also coming with a squeezable frame I had the goal to make it compatible with it too.
..and after a couple of days debugging with @k4r70ng (I don't own the device, big thanks to him, was a great help) we are here now!
Requirements
You have to be on Oreo 8.1 or Android P.
You need to run a STOCK based ROM, because Active Edge is broken on AOSP roms.
You need to be rooted with magisk to use it.
Install the Active Edge System Mod Magisk Module from the MagiskManager Repo and the EdgeSensePlus from the playstore and you are ready to go!
Telegram Group
Join Telegram Edge Sense Plus Group
How does it work
To make it working on the Pixel2 I had to modify the SystemUIGoogle.apk that runs the ElmyraService (Service that processes the squeeze gestures).
I intercept the events and pass them to the EdgeSensePlus Application that starts the appropriate action then that you selected.
Some more adjustments were made, so the squeezing also works when you are in immersive mode, camera or when Google Assistant is deactivated/uninstalled.

What can it do?
Custom actions:
Currently you can choose from over different actions
Quickly Start camera - Also when screen is off and locked
Per App Action - Execute different squeeze actions depending in what app you are!
Sidebar
Gesture Panel - Draw custom gestures to start different actions
Custom App
Shortcuts - e.g. to make direct calls, start tasker tasks and more!
Scroll up/down
Flashlight
Recent Apps
Toggle Autorotation
Autobrightness (6 states: Auto, Min, Low, Mid, High, Max)
Split Screen
Expand/Collapse Statusbar
Toggle NFC
Toggle Display on/off

Per app actions:
With the per app action, you can define different squeeze actions per app. So the chosen action will be executed dependent in what app you are currently are.
Double Squeeze: (Premium)
If you often accidentally trigger a short squeeze, that won't happen anymore if you map your desired action to the double squeeze gesture.
You can define a double squeeze interval, to ensure you are quick enough to trigger it every time.
Long Squeeze:
Missed a long squeeze action on your Pixel? Edge Sense Plus has it!
G-Sensor usage: (Premium)
If enabled, will be able to execute different actions depending on the current position of your device, whether it is flat or upright in your hand.
That way you can have six different squeeze gestures: short, long, doublepress in flat or upright device position.
Media control:
The media control will override your set squeeze actions while media is playing so you can control your media.
That includes play/pause, increase/decrease volume and skip to next and previous track.
Squeeze sounds:
Ever thought it would be funny if a squeeze of your Pixel2 would make a sound, if it is a *click*, *oink* , *fart* or whatever you think of?
You can use any .mp3 file to make that happen!
Sidebar:
The Sidebar has 4 different panels, Applications, Shortcuts, Recent Apps (Premium), Quicksettings (Premium).
Panel colors are customizable

Instructions
You must be on at least Oreo 8.1 to to be able to use it. Root with Magisk is required since the magisk module is mandatory!
It is recommended to have a working TWRP backup in case something goes wrong. Check the FAQ for help too.
Like always: Flash on your own risk. I'm not responsible for any damaga to your device
Flash the Magisk Module either in Magisk Manager or TWRP
Install Edge Sense Plus
Enjoy.
Downloads
Now also available via the MagiskManager Repo:
I recommend to install and update the Magisk Module directly via the MagiskManager repository directly in the MagiskManager app.
All releases will be also available on the GitHub repository
Edge Sense Plus:

Ok lol I am blind, thanks for app!

This looks great and more powerful than other options to intercept the squeeze gesture. Thanks for taking the time to port it!

Would it be possible to provide a module download with an Md5? I downloaded and flashed the module, wound up in a bootloop and had to restore a backup. I'd like to try this, but really want to be careful. Thanks

FAQ
Q: Will it also work on the Pixel2 XL?
A: No, it will bootloop your device. There is a separate thread on the Pixel2 XL forum.
Q: My device bootloops after flashing the magisk module.
A: Ensure you are on the latest Pixel2 OTA. To get out of the bootloop, go to the magisk thread and install the magisk uninstaller and then reinstall magisk again.
Q: The magisk module zip is greyed out when I try to install it.
A: I have no explanation why it happens for some. Install a FileManager like SolidExplorer or FX File Explorer, then Select that File Browser in the System File Explorer to select the path

Thanks. Yeah Pixel 2 on the latest January update with TWRP and Magisk 15.2.

Yep it was a bad download. Thanks for the Md5. I'm all set now :good:

great, glad to hear.

Love the app so far! One thing that bothers me is that when I launch google assistant, it makes the beeping noise twice. Is there anyway to change that?

Aware of that. Will look into this today. Does not happen on my U11... so debugging will take a bit longer.

Are there any plans to distribute the app through the Play Store? And is it normal for the app to constantly ask me to upgrade to premium? By constantly, I literally mean constantly. It seems to be tied to scrolling down the settings page, and it pops up 2-3 times before I reach the bottom.
Also, will squeezing still silence an incoming call? Are there any settings that might prevent the squeeze from silencing an incoming call?

Currently the app is just visibible for HTC U Devices.
Im afraid of bad ratings from pixel users, since it does just work with root. On the U11 it works without.
Will try improve the scrolling issue.
I just override the google assistant action. So the other native squeeze actions should still work.

Much appreciated (-:

I've noticed that pocket detection makes active edge misbehave. I don't know if this is a known issue, but I thought I'd share my experience.
The other thing I thought was an issue was with setting a shortcut to a Tasker task. For anyone who may not understand how it works, you have to open Tasker and choose "exit" from the menu at the top right of the app before you can set the task shortcut in Edge Sense Plus.

The other thing I thought was an issue was with setting a shortcut to a Tasker task. For anyone who may not understand how it works, you have to open Tasker and choose "exit" from the menu at the top right of the app before you can set the task shortcut in Edge Sense Plus.

P20 Pro Power Menu [★ROOT★] app/Tasker scene + other useful Tasker stuff

★★★Hey all! I'll start by assuming anyone reading this post is using a P20 Pro, on stock ROM, already familiar with Tasker AND rooted. If you have a P20 Pro and you're rooted, but have no experience with Tasker, I may still be able to lend some experience. But if you are not using a P20 Pro, or you are not already rooted, even if you're down with Tasker you'll have to figure out the first two somewhere else then come back here.★★★
Okay then. I love this phone. I mean [email protected]#king love it. My previous 2 phones were the unrootable Canadian variant LG G5 and the fragile as glass Sony Z2. Needless to say it's been a while since I've enjoyed all the splendors that come with a rooted phone and had a lot of catching up to do. You may have seen me recently poking around elsewhere asking questions like a noob as lots has changed since Chainfire dominated the su scene lol. Magisk is absolutely amazing once figured out, and as always I've been forever grateful to the helpful community here at XDA and wishing I had more to give back. So here's a small offering, however useful it may be to any of you. It's a simple app, built in Tasker, that allows to restart the system ui, perform a software reboot (fast reboot), full hardware reboot, shutdown, enable/disable ADB, enable/disable WIFI scanning even when off, and enable/disable the high volume headphone warning. I even included light and dark themes! Please keep in mind this was built in Tasker App Factory and I am not a programmer, so while I may be able to take requests to add more switches for hidden features I have no designs on improving the interface. I am also sharing the Tasker files for the task and scene I built for anyone ambitious enough that may want to modify them for themselves. You MUST be rooted for any of this app/task to work, but you do not need to install any additional plugins. All the commands are native in Tasker thanks to recent updates. Without further ado, may I present to you a very simple P20 Pro power/hidden features menu:
{
"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"
}
The downloads are below. If you install the APK you don't need the Tasker files and vice versa. One or the other. I've also included my Tasker task for closing all recent apps with one touch. Again it requires no outside plugins, only root and the latest version of Tasker. I'm going to reserve the first few posts, I've got other Tasker profiles that are peculiar to this phone others may find useful such as Smart Unlock at home. I'll post that soon and maybe a few others. If anyone has useful Tasker tricks for the P20 they'd like to share please do so! I'll move the best ones up here to the first post. (if anyone actually reads this hahaha....)
Please uninstall any old versions before installing the update.
[UPDATE: App and Tasker files have been updated with options to reboot into bootloader or whichever recovery you currently have installed.]
[UPDATE 2: Improved the UI and cleaned up the routines, runs smoother and more reliable]
[UPDATE 3: Fixed broken reboot command, please install latest version from below]
[UPDATE 4: MAJOR UPDATE: Overhauled the UI, cleaned up more commands, added Model, Build Version and Uptime to main screen]

Smart Unlock via Tasker ★No Root★
As you've probably noticed, Smart Unlock is severely limited to only bluetooth pairings on the P20. I miss having the option to keep my phone unlocked when my WiFi is near so here it is, re-created in Tasker. How is this different from any other Tasker based Smart Unlock tutorials? It's not, but our P20 keeps track of time in milliseconds rather than seconds, so if you try entering 7200 for a 6 hour unlock your screen will still lock in less than 10 seconds. I went mad for a week trying to figure out why it wasn't working before I noticed the stock values had an extra three digits behind them. So for a 6 hour unlock, for instance, you would need to enter 7200000 not 7200. The files included below will default to instant locking when Smart Unlock is disabled or 12 hour unlocking when enabled. You can easily change this by changing the values in the appropriate task.
To make this work there are 3 profiles and 4 tasks to install. The first profile is simply a switch to determine if you are home or not. I use a separate profile for this as I also have other profiles that trigger when %HOME is set and it makes more sense to only have one profile active at a time than several lagging on system resources. There is a loitering time of 60 seconds in both the enter and exit tasks to ensure if you are on the edge of your connection the other profiles won't trigger erratically. Once the profile is imported you will have to replace 'Your WiFi goes here' in the WiFi field with your SSID(s). The next two profiles simply monitor the %HOME value for change and react accordingly.
The four task profiles are straight forward. Lock the phone instantly, lock in 12 hours, Smart Unlock on (with notification) and Smart Unlock off. You will need all 4 installed initially, though it is possible to migrate the lock commands into the Smart Unlock tasks if you wish. I keep them separate for simplicity in changing the times or to link them to other tasks.
To install simply import ALL of the files below into Tasker, replace the placeholder with YOUR WiFi, and enable the profiles. Use the Power Menu app from above to activate wifi scanning when turned off or the At Home profile will not work when your wifi is off. Alternatively you can enable 'toggle wifi' in the profile context but I've found that to interfere with downloads when using data connection. In Tasker preferences set the following:
- make sure to check the box for 'Run in Foreground'
- 'Use Reliable Alarms' should read 'when off'
- set 'Wifi Scan Seconds' to 90 or less (lower values eat more battery)
- and lastly set 'All Check Seconds' to 180 or less
I've found values above those numbers will result in slow Wifi polling and your phone may not lock for a long time when you leave home. With these preferences I find my phone usually locks within 3 minutes of leaving 'home' area.
That's it, enjoy wifi context based Smart Unlock on your new P20 Pro.
[UPDATE: I've consolidated all tasks into a single project file. Install this, set your wifi and it's ready to go]

More Tasker fun
Flick for Smart Remote
A very simple profile linked to the %HOME variable used in Smart Unlock. I use the remote function on this phone while I'm at home A LOT. This makes it convenient and fun. Whenever you're at home, the display is on and in portrait orientation simply flick your wrist in a crack the whip motion and you'll instantly switch to Smart Remote. The addition of the extra variables keeps this from triggering when you don't want it to, ie: not at home, it's in your pocket, or even if you drop it you won't lose your foreground screen unintentionally. If you want to use it differently simply switch the variables to your liking. I personally don't use Smart Remote, Anymote Smart Remote from the Play store has many more features and works fine with the P20 we just aren't a supported device. Also here's a link to the whip sound referenced in the task:

Turn your P20 into a gaming console without switching your default launcher
Needed apps: GameBox Launcher, Ultimate Rotation Control (or any other rotation app that has a Tasker plugin), QuickTask, TouchTask
This is a bit of a hack that can really be done on any phone but works AMAZINGLY well on the P20. GameBox Launcher default is portrait orientation for the UI which annoys me, especially when I have my phone anchored in my gaming controller. This task will force sensor landscape using root, then load GameBox. You lose a bit of functionality in the apps menu, but the gaming menu turns into a proper banner style game launcher with gamepad navigation controls. It takes a few minutes to set up but makes my P20 feel as close to a handheld console as it gets. QuickTask is used to create a custom toggle in the Quick Settings menu, although the native Tasker toggle could be used...it just isn't as pretty. The toggle allows to switch between game mode and normal launcher mode. You could also place shortcuts for the launch and exit tasks on your home screen, same effect. Now why do I call this Game Mode instead of just a launcher hack?.....
The home button override profile will intercept home button presses, kill your home launcher (default in the profile is Nova Launcher) using root, and relaunch a fresh copy of GameBox Launcher as long as you are in Game Mode. It's essentially impossible to access your home launcher the normal way so keep that Exit Game Mode task or toggle handy, and this setting theoretically could survive a reboot so ALWAYS make sure to use the proper exit task. With the override profile enabled GameBox becomes your 'default' launcher without having to actually change your default, making it super simple to switch between games on the fly. When you're done activate the exit task; rotation will be restored to auto, GameBox is killed with root and your home launcher (again, the default in the task is Nova) is launched.
To Use:
- install all of the necessary apps and grant permissions
- import all of the 'Game Mode' profiles and tasks into Tasker.
- in QuickTask create a new tile called 'gamemode' and choose gamepad as the icon. Set this new tile somewhere accessible in your Quick Settings menu.
- create Tasker widgets linked to the launch and exit tasks on your home page.
If everything imported properly the new tile will become your Game Mode toggle and will enable/disable along with Game Mode. The links on the home screen are simply for secondary access. A screenshot of my P20 in 'Game Mode' is below:

Try this version, I renamed the apk so it may have messed with the signature. If this doesn't work you'll have to try the Tasker files until I can rebuild the app. Cheers!
[EDIT: This is older version without bootloader or recovery but I will leave it up as an option]

Does it work fine for you after the install? Unfortunately I was only able to test the app on my phone but it should work properly for any P20 Pro on stock ROM. Thanks for trying it!

I havent found the need to use it. Would be good if it actually offer to reboot into : recovery, bootloader, erecovery, etcetera.
System UI restart is useful though. Sometimes there's glitch with app UI and i dont want to do full reboot, and system UI restart is the option

I didn't bother with recovery, bootloader etc as I use ADB for those. The intention for this was just a simple power off/reboot app without clutter or advertising but I'll consider adding those options soon as they may be useful. The Wifi scanning toggle should be particularly useful to anyone using Tasker with 'WiFi near' contexts. I couldn't find that switch anywhere in the Settings UI and with WiFi turned off the context won't trigger. So maybe that'll be helpful at some point lol? Also the 'high volume' headphone warning is annoying as hell, tap this once after each reboot and you'll see it no more.

I've updated the app in the OP to include bootloader and recovery options. Thanks for the suggestion

Update: Power Menu V3
Major update! V3 is ready for daily use. I've cleaned up the godawful UI and added some information tidbits that may be useful to anyone experimenting with updates or rebranding and wants to easily check their current version. System uptime is also posted front and center so you know if it's time for a reboot. I'm not sure if this app needs anything else but if you'd like to see a new switch or button added please request in the thread and I'll give it consideration. Thanks to everyone who has dl'd and given feedback.
Remember to uninstall the old version before updating!

P20 pro unrooted
Is there any way to use tasker to disable mobile data? It used to work just fine on my old nexus 6p,but with my p20 pro when I try using the mobile data action, it shows it worked in tasker with the green dot, but mobile data status did not change.
