An app like this has some legitimate uses and some more "shady" ones if you will.

"Knock Code" from G Pro 2 on nexus 5

The new LG G Pro 2 have a nice feature called Knock Code.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrheE8e3FSA
I think it's very useful. Is it possible to port this feature to nexus 5? Maybe someone already working on it?

Try, touch control app in play store

Alright, so the long version. What I wanted to point is that none of the custom kernels available supports a feature similar to the one in the OP. Apparently neither of you two have watched the video or understood what feature we are talking about, but instead jumped at the TS, implying he didn't search in advance to his question.
This is not, I repeat not, about a simple tap2wake, knock2wake, sweep2wake or whatever you want to call it. This is about tapping the screen in a user-defined pattern to wake AND UNLOCK the phone in one step. Which is quite a bit more cool than just tap2wake, so I would like to see it happen as well.

I've seen the video. The "Knock code" won't work without knock on / tap2wake / slide2wake / doubletap2 wake etc.
Surely it would be an obvious and logical step to find the feature CLOSEST to what you are looking for and move forward from there?! I've added a question mark but I have made this rhetorical by following up with an exclamation mark.
Porting the code without the "on" is pointless. No one will port this from scratch. You need to find the groundwork first and from there, so it can be developed.
edit > "please search" is not "jumping" and I have no idea what a TS is.

I give up. It's nice to see XDA still lives up to its expectations though.
If anyone has any helpful information here, I will still be watching this thread.

I understand your concern, but I respectfully submit that it is appropriate and helpful for senior members to provide guidance with respect to the rules, customs, and best practices of the board. I assure you that even if their tone sounds curt, the mentors here are well-intentioned. Their objective: to keep the forum as lean and efficient as possible. Such efforts are necessary because many, many members fail to search before posting.

So I take it I have been reported then?
Anyway, are we finally OT-raping this thread to a point where it will be closed by some over-zealous mod, so that this great and valid feature request will starve unnoticed by real devs with skills other than "duh go search you kacknoob!", who might even accomplish something here?
Or can we let this alone now, after I said that I am done trying to be helpful here? Or as some other members might call it, "apply some logic", because it only seems logical that off-topic movie talk doesn't belong here...

I'll answer the rhetorical question, for the benefit of others who do not know - none of them do. Hence why OP's original question was, and still is, valid.
I too would like to know if anyone is working on Knock Code for the N5, as opposed to the Knock On/Knock Knock/Tap To Wake/whatever you want to call the current implementation (which does NOT support the tap pattern unlock feature).
If anyone is going to work on it then I'd happily donate because I love Knock On and Knock Code would be even more awesome.

I find that OPPO have even cooler features - screen off gestures.

We need to port this on nexus 5 somehow.

I sure would like this as well!
OP/TS/Whatever TLA you want to be called: Thank you for asking this question. Pay no attention to people who feel the need to strong-arm you for no reason other than to make them feel like they're important.

LOl you serious? Dont you think thats impossible? Because every time you pick up your phone, you are drawing on your screen. its works on the note because when you pull the pen or when the pen comes near the screen it activates the thing and fingers cant emulate this.

It's possible. For example run app from app drawer, write, lock phone and that drawing will stay on screen (but touch will be disabled so you can't draw till unlock phone - press some hardware button).

Sorry for the off-topic but really @Ritchie, you are very active on the S7 XDA forums, but as far as I have read your posts, you are just critising and making fun of people instead of providing them real help and a real answer/reply to their question. It is not nice, even if you do not have anything else to do, do not be so rude with people on the forums, instead try to be kind/nice and help them. Not all of the people on this forums know English very well, or they are just not used to forums so they make mistakes. But there is always a nice way of telling/guiding them, no need for sarcastic comments...

I help people all the time but there is a difference between spoon feeding and helping. Many users rather make a new topic then to search the forums because 9 out of 10 the awnser can already be found if they put in some work.

You can do the same thing just by using chrome in desktop mode and use the other person cellphone WhatsApp web option and simple scan the barcode in your chrome or any browser. Just remember people always check that option in your WhatsApp so no one is spying on you lol. Beside the nsa

Most of the xda users in here just refer the thread title then go through.. So, it's true that your title itself says *No Root hack WhatsApp in 15secs*, so most of em' thought this thread is about hacking blah blah.so, they gonna leave a reply like that and most of em' even report these types of threads.

Please indulge us. Which one of the Forum Rules did the user violate? @uralok You don't need to change anything for anyone. In fact, this is a hack but more in the lifehack sense instead of the programming sense.
It has security value as well, which does fit nicely in the XDA culture. I don't have any experience with this feature but if it is true that the mobile user is not made aware that a web user is watching along, that's a pretty big deal. Is that the case?

According to the video, you have to have access to the other person's device to use THEIR device to scan the code. Why not just open their app and see who they are chatting with? (OK maybe you are grabbing their phone while they go to the bathroom and you only have a few seconds...)
Not saying it can't be useful to someone but the title is sort of click bait?

No, not in XDA for hacking stuff. You can look at my post history. I try to help people with their phones or search for information on new phones.
XDA shows me new posts in certain categories (like Android Development), and this post came up. I looked at the video to see if anyone could "hack" my account and they can't -- unless they had my phone in their hands and knew my unlock code in the first place.
That would be my wife. So yes, she could "spy" on me, but that's not REALLY hacking, which is an overused word. Every tip or trick is not "hacking".
To me, it's not really hacking if you already have unlocked physical access to their device. It's more like just simple "spying".
More akin to the FBI physically placing a GPS tracking device under your car. The FBI did NOT "hack" your car. They are simply spying on you.

Assistance needed. Please help.

Hello everyone. To those out there that have already begun to help me and respond you have my sincerest thanks. I originally started this adventure just trying to get my pixel 6 to stop messing with my music settings and volume. Now I want to learn everything I can about all of this. In as broad and vague a term as that is. I wanna know how to do all of the things y'all know how to do. Please be patient as I'll probably ask some of the most irritating questions over the most basic stuff. Like what's this and what's that. Anyways thank you guys for the help so far and for having me.

I got a pixel 6. Not the pro. Nope I haven't even tried to do the adb yet as I'm not entirely sure of what it does or the purpose of it. As of right now nothing too specific. I'd like to know what the adb does and it's purpose and I'd like to eventually get to root this thing so I can have better control. So many options are greyed out for me that I know for a fact weren't recently. The settings I do change end up reverting back sometimes almost as soon as I leave the app. Settings for me is always crashing when i do something Google doesn't approve of. It's driving me bananas. Sometimes I'll literally sit here for hours fighting with this damned thing just to do something simple like play my music at the eq settings I want.

Yes. You can remove system apps. Do not go crazy though, if you delete a needed app your device could soft brick.
How to uninstall pre-installed system apps (bloatware) from Android phones without root
Android phones from most brands come with at least some amount of bloatware or unwanted apps. These could be in the form of common apps like Google Play Movies, Netflix & Facebook, or some truly useless junk. Some brands allow users to uninstall the bundled apps while others make them system...

Is there a list of the system apps for a pixel 6 and what exactly they pertain to?

Not exactly any list. Pixels have the least bloat of any phones I know. Use a list with a file manager or app list app. Delete what seems unneeded. If in doubt, keep.
You can also get debloater which allows you to uninstall with one clcik. It is installed on your pc. You can google to find it.
Some things you can uninstall are Easter eggs, game optimization services, apps that you don’t need that you can see. Don’t delete any needed system services, settings, anything you think the phoen needs to function. Also, ones you uninstall, you can reinstall, but getting bricked and having to enter adb mode and finding what you need to reinstall is very frustrating and panicky (forgot the word).

App list app? So to do the adb the right way I get on my PC and do what?
I know what you mean. Messing with this thing I've already "soft bricked" it over 5 times. Longest was for bout 2 days. I don't know how to do safe boot or adb mode so it took me fiddling with it and messing with even more **** I don't get to fix it. Managed to not have to resort to factory reset tho. Kinda proud of myself for that.
Will I need to carrier unlock this before I do anything? My oem thing in developer settings is still gray. I know I'm still carrier locked.
