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.

[APP][4.0+][Material] Easy Lock - Double tap status bar/nav bar to sleep

Easy Lock
Double tap status bar/nav bar/lockscreen/notification shade to quickly put your device to sleep!
Double-tapping status bar does NOT work in Android 8 and above. Only double tap anywhere or double tap homescreen will work due to changes in system APIs.

Requirements
Android 4.0 (ICS) or higher
NO root required

Downloads
Version 1.3: http://bit.ly/2oDv77H (Please uninstall the previous version first)
All features of the app are available for free, without any ads. (The in-app purchase inside the app will not work as the app has been removed from play store)
Please do not mirror without permission. Link to this thread or play store page if you want to share this app elsewhere. So that users will know where to check for updates and get support from.
Please note: Hopefully it won't come to this, but just in case, to uninstall the app, you'll have to deactivate device admin permission first (Settings -> Security -> Device Admin -> Easy Lock).[/SIZE]
_
Permissions explained
Admin permission is required to turn of the screen and put the phone to sleep
Lollipop smart lock is not supported by Device Admin. It's an Android system limitation. However, smart lock is supported by Easy Lock if you have root access. If you see a prompt for root access, this is what that's for.
Draw over other apps permission is required to detect double taps.
App Usage Statistics (in Lollipop and above) is required if you enable the option 'Try to avoid soft key presses'. This permission will be requested only if you enable this option.

Update v1.1
Added option to avoid lock screen touches
Minor bug fixes
Update is currently rolling out in Google Play.

Update to Easy Lock
v1.3
- Fixed a bug which causes the app to request admin permissions even when it was already granted.
Update is available in Google Play Store.
I had added an option to enable double-tap anywhere to lock the screen. I'm sure it'll be a nuisance for most people, since it'll get activated while typing, double tap to zoom photos etc, but there were some requests for it. However, that update was rejected by Play Store. Hence I've disabled that feature in the play store version of the app. If anyone is interested in the above mentioned feature, I can upload an apk having double tap anywhere to lock functionality.

Not available in Google play, can u please give me the download link, i love this app

Unfortunately the app has been removed from the Play Store because it interacts too much with System UI. I'll upload the apk here by tomorrow.

Amazing work!
I've traditionally always rooted my android devices, but with marshmallow I'm trying to keep them stock for the security/stability benefits. My new Huawei Honor 8 didn't have a double tap to sleep feature built in, and with no root I couldn't use gravitybox to get it. I also couldn't find anything satisfactory in the app store, as I just wanted something that would make the device sleep, but not wake up (my phone wakes up by itself as soon as you touch the fingerprint scanner). The V1.2 of this app works perfectly! I lowered the double tap to 150ms, which seems to be about as fast as I can comfortably double tap the status bar/nav bar, but is faster than I would normally mash the back button, removing the need for ignoring the nav buttons. Plus it seems to take no more than 40mb of ram, with it averaging more about 25mb, which is great. Luckily for me, Huawei's EMUI implementation of android prevents your app from interfering with the fingerprint scanner, even without root. I tested your app on my galaxy tab s2 (also running android 6.0.1) and as expected, using it to sleep the device interfered with the fingerprint scanner, but not so on this great little Huawei device (I just had it on my tablet for testing, it already turns itself on/off with its flip cover). I can understand why Google removed it from the play store (at anything over 250ms it's easily to accidentally trigger with the back button) but I'm glad I found it. I've never actually had a button wear out or break on me because I upgrade phones too often, but it still feels nice to be able to turn my phone on and off without any buttons. Great work!
Edit: it's really too bad that the donate button doesn't work. Do you have any other apps in the play store that I could buy/donate to support you?

Wow, thanks for the app! Working great on my S7 edge (unrooted).

Just tried it on my pixel xl works great but the only gripe I have is that when it locks the phone I can't use my fingerprint reader to open it after which is making me not use it anymore because it's so much faster to use the fingerprint scanner. If that's fixed I'll definitely be using it.
Thanks

@aravindsagar Hi, I have the same problem on my Z5 Compact. When I double tap the status bar, the phone locks.
But when I wake it up, if I use my fingerprint to unlock, I also have my patern (or pin, or password, whatever security is set) → Double security instead of one.
I only encounter this issue while using your app. If Easy Lock is disabled, I can unlock my phone just with my fingerprint.
Is their a way to fix this issue? (or an alternative to double tap status bar to lock?)
Thanks

Bump on this. Love it but need to be able to unlock with fingerprint sensor.
Other apps get around this by simply turning the screen off. Works great with amoled. Not sure how easy that is to implement.

I would donate for this if it would implement the method to lock the screen with root instead of using Admin (so, as mentioned in previous posts above, I could use the fingerprint reader to unlock afterwards). The shell command "input keyevent 26" does this as long as it's done with superuser access. I have a QuickTile through the Automate script app do exactly that currently, but I'd prefer to be able to double-tap the status bar instead of using a prime Quick Tile space.

This is horrible and will never replace the custom ROM feature. I can't use my fingerprint and I can't even enter my password without it locking again. It also locks when I double tap a softkey (even with the option to prevent against it).

If use device administrator, open lock cant using fingerprint, btw good app.. i search tap to sleep app that can using fingerprint to wake/unlock..

Arrow launcher has this. Always work.
Trying the Lawnchair (Pixel) launcher which lacks this feature. Only works on status bar. Users of this launcher want this!
(All permissions set up. MIUI device.)

Just a note, Arrow launcher has double tap anywhere to sleep, not double tap status bar, and it also has to be set to be a device Admin, so again the fingerprint reader is rendered useless. Not knocking Arrow Launcher, just wanted to specify in case others with fingerprint readers are tempted to try it for this purpose.

Is any option double tap to wake the device ?

System UI Tuner - Apply System UI Tuner settings on any Android device.

I just received the Nougat update and realized that the big Samsung in the sky disabled System UI Tuner. So when faced with defeat I decided to spin up an Android emulator and using the some nifty ADB commands reverse engineer all the settings inside the System UI Tuner menu. I then confirmed you could just apply the same settings and they would work and then created an easy to use application to apply them.

To get started you will first want to enabled [Developer Options]:
Go into [Settings]
Tap on [About device]
Repeatedly tap on the [Build Number] until a toast notification comes up stating you have enabled developer options.
Go back
Next you will want to go into [Developer Options] and enable [USB Debugging]:
Go into [Developer Options]
Scroll down and tap on [USB Debugging]
Finally plug in your device to your computer accept any prompts that appear on your phone and run the application. The application will take a few seconds to load as it finds your phone, but after that you will be able to select the settings you want and see them instantly apply to your phone. Features I've noticed that do no work on the Galaxy S7 are: Battery Percentage in the icon, and Do Not Disturb features.

Added NFC for Samsung Devices.

Initial Release

Power Notification Controls on the Galaxy S7
No alarm icon showing and long time.

This is a great app - warning for S7 users, though - when I tried to disable the alarm icon, the phone kept crashing system UI. I fixed it by relaunching the app and turning the alarm icon back on. So far, that's the only thing I've seen that doesn't work. I have time and battery icon turned off and so far the phone has rebooted a few times without any issues - it doesn't crash system UI and remembers my settings.
Nice work! Great way to hide time/battery without root.

That is strange. That is the one thing I have disabled and it's working for me on my S7 (SM-G930T). I did do a factory reset after getting the update so that may be the reason why it's working on my phone.

That is correct. I did not see any changes with battery percentage, or with the Do Not Disturb features. (Should have probably included that in the original post.) I left them in the app, because maybe they will work on other phones.

Great idea! After digging through the android source code on how the icon_blacklist setting works. Then digging through a DeOdexed Marshmallow rom (Thanks @muniz_ri [thread=3415952]thread[/URL]) and de-compiling a few APK's, I was able to find the key Samsung uses on the NFC icon. (For anyone interested it's "nfc_on") A link to the new version has been updated in the original post.

Absolute legend works a treat on my S7 !!!!

Would it be possible to remove the carrier name from the status bar with this app?

I've tried using this and it's Power Notification Control setting is very buggy on my S7. It works perfectly fine on my wife's. This lead me to believe that maybe it was an internal thing going on with mine because I was a beta tester for samsung and she wasn't, but we're both on 7.0, so I flashed stock 7.0 with odin to have a clean system and see if that was the problem, but I'm still having the same issue.
(It changes the ui, adds the option but when I go to activate it, I can not push the star to activate the bar and change the setting.

This mod has improved my quality of life. HAHA!

I have the same problem with my s7 edge

I am happy to find this app. Hate that alarm and bluetooth icon always being there. Seems to be working great on my S7 edge. Is there a way to remove the AM/PM in the clock? I know when its morning or night.

Love the app any chance to remove this garbage it added after root?

I would love this as well. I know if it's am or pm. I was a beta tester for 3 months and I repeatedly asked samsung to remove it. Worthless and takes up space.

I have tried using this app on my Galaxy s6 but it does not work. I do know however that the icon_blacklist adb commands do in fact work (as I have used them to hide my wifi and cellular icons in the status bar), so if this program is based on icon_blacklist, then it should. I researched androidlib.dll and made sure I have .NET framwork 3.5 or higher installed and enabled, and I do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, it's a Samsung Galaxy S6 920v, MM 6.0.1. Not sure if this will work only on Nougat or not.

Incredible app.
Is there any way to activate the "Dark Theme" in the SYS UI Tuner? Especially useful for us S7 AMOLED users.

Hi,
This is a great program! I'm just curious, will this work with other phones? We are experimenting with the same thing over on the LG V20 forums but only with the adb commands themselves, no front-end app or anything like that. So is it possible that this would work?
If not, would you mind sharing the adb command for enabling Power notification controls? That's the feature I want the most but after some quick Googling I can't find out how to do that.
Thanks!
EDIT: Whoops, I didn't see on GitHub that it says it will work on any Android device. I tested it out on the devices in my signature (LG V20 US Unlocked & LG G Pad III 8.0 Wi-Fi if you're on mobile and can't see my signature). The "Power notification controls" feature that I was mostly after doesn't work. I have the same problem as these guys:

I've tried using this and it's Power Notification Control setting is very buggy on my S7. It works perfectly fine on my wife's. This lead me to believe that maybe it was an internal thing going on with mine because I was a beta tester for samsung and she wasn't, but we're both on 7.0, so I flashed stock 7.0 with odin to have a clean system and see if that was the problem, but I'm still having the same issue.
(It changes the ui, adds the option but when I go to activate it, I can not push the star to activate the bar and change the setting.

Any ideas? I messed around with a few of the "Status Bar" icon settings and those seem to work.
EDIT 2: I figured out how to get Power notification controls working (kinda)! It's still a little wonky and sometimes it locks up, crashes, or just resets though. blankfaced and Patybello, let me know if this works for you. What you have to do is get a notification from the app you want to change into your notification shade. Then slowly pull it left or right just a little bit until the cog icon appears, and click on it. From there if you tap the star icon with the A in it you can set the app's notification priority level (some levels on certain apps cause the notification window to reset/crash when you select them though , so YMMV)! Just make sure you hit "Done" afterwards. Sometimes you can then go into Settings > Notification > Apps to change it from there but a lot of times it just completely freezes up or resets itself, so I would recommend not trying to make any changes in there. I can't reboot my phone right now but I did reboot my tablet and it appears that the priority levels stuck, so hopefully this lasts!

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:
https://www.zedge.net/ringtone/99dd...tm_campaign=sharing#ZEDGE #notification_sound
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!

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.

[APP] SideSqueeze 2.08 - add squeeze gestures to your S10+!

What is SideSqueeze?
SideSqueeze is an innovative and unique app that uses the barometric pressure sensor in your device to detect squeezes and screen presses. It is compatible only with Samsung Galaxy devices from 2017 onwards, although some people have reported varying degrees of success with Pixel devices.
What It Does
SideSqueeze gives your S8/S9/S10 series Galaxy the ability to respond to squeezes, double squeezes, triple squeezes, quadruple squeezes, long squeezes, and/or inertial squeezes, as well as force presses on the screen. For example, you can double squeeze your phone to activate Google Assistant...or maybe you'd like to quadruple squeeze to toggle auto-rotation. And now with Tasker integration, you can even create elaborate tasks to do just about anything and trigger them with any type of squeeze! SideSqueeze's new modular GUI allows you to pick and choose what you want to do with ease.
Features (not all available in trial version)
7 detectable squeeze types (single, double, triple, quadruple, long, long double-squeeze, and inertial)
3 detectable press types (single, long, and 2-finger)
Independently selectable criteria allow you to assign multiple actions to any trigger type (if lockscreen open, if homescreen open, if camera open, if S-Pen detached, if within 5-seconds of power on, if the phone is ringing, if in-call, or if screen is off)
New app picker to launch any app of your choosing
Tasker integration to launch any task of your choosing
Quick Settings tile to toggle detection engine
Wide selection of common actions, such as flashlight toggling, status bar toggling, etc
Adjustable pressure thresholds
Calibration assistant to customize SideSqueeze to your device's unique characteristics
Efficient detection algorithm that is designed to be as lightweight and low-power as possible with no significant impact on battery life
Questions?
See the in-app Help section for answers to commonly asked questions.
Where do I get it?
SideSqueeze 2 is now available on the Play store!

I like the concept of the app but I tried it and it is very difficult to use coming from a pixel device. I set up custom squeeze pressures but it won't work properly. A squeeze will usually engage what I want but if I move phone around or sit it down it will also do the squeeze action. Good idea but going to be tough to do properly i feel!

Thank you for your feedback. Have you calibrated it? What are your gain and release threshold set to? What sensitivity level are you using?

I did it kept saying try again and changed values, said like 50 try again then 100 then -10 and kept saying try again. It was really odd

Same here.... S10+..... Seems difficult to get out of the calibration stage. Then, sometimes the squeeze works and sometimes it does not. I also see calibration messages after exiting the app.
Interestingly, the squeeze command seems to always work when in the app.
When I retried to calibrate with a squeeze command already set, the command activated and the assigned app launched.
Will try to play with it again later.

This is really weird, and no one has ever reported behavior like this. I can't seem to reproduce it. Was there any step that stood out in your mind? Did you do anything unusual? Do you remember roughly what the message said? There are only a few it could have been, any words or phrases you remember from it? Thanks!
The time you tried to calibrate with a command set, did you remember if you tapped the "Start" button at the bottom first?

Is it possible you have the press detection module on? The engine stays running unless both are disabled. Open the left fly-out menu and go to Screen Presses and make sure that is off, too.

Unfortunately, I don't recall the text of the toast message. Yes, I clicked on the start button to calibrate. As far as I know, I did nothing unusual. Press screen was turned off.
I just now opened the app, made sure that both screen pressure and squeeze were not enabled. After exiting the app, there is a notification that sidesqueeze is running.
Also, there is an issue with the discord server. I have to open the sidesqueeze app and click on the discord link to open it. I accept the invite. 5 minutes later, the server disappears from the discord app. When I tried to join again thru the discord app, it states that the invite has expired. This is repeatable.

I got working a little bit, took literally 5 mins to setup though. It's hit or miss now though works maybe 50% of the time and still sometimes randomly

I deleted cache and data. I installed the new test version you sent. It seems to be much more stable and working as it should. I will give it more time to see if all remains well.

This is new and useful for S10+! Nice app my man! Thanks!

After using the new build a bit more, a couple of observations. First, the action set for one squeeze, sometimes activates without me squeezing the phone. Secondly, with sidesqueeze activated and the press actions definitely switched off, I can no longer double tap to wake my s10+. As soon as I deactivate sideswitch, double tap to wake is restored.

I have no idea about the double tap thing, I'll have to look into it. As for the notification, when does it come back?

The double tap may have had something to do with the aod..... The notification returned after I rebooted the phone.

Oh ok, that's actually fixed in the last minute update I pushed out moments after 2.01. It should be rolling out to you any minute now.

I have been noticing that if I set the squeeze strength to custom rather than to soft or medium for example, sidesqueeze resets itself to medium.

Thanks for the feedback, as always. Can you reproduce this? When does it happen? Like, does it only reset when the app opens? What were you doing before it reset? Is 'Firm' affected, too?

Can't pinpoint any specific event or time. Haven't used firm at all. Also noticing that sometimes it seems overly sensitive and other times it won't respond at all. I will try to notice when these things occur.
