hidden lockscreen dots - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Does anyone know of a way to hide the dots of the pattern lock, as well as the "draw pattern to unlock"? I'd like to make a completely blank pattern lock lockscreen so that you have to know where the dots are to even try. Thanks!

I believe gravitybox can hide it with lockscreen tweaks. You will need xposed framework installed and then grab gravity box for your operating system(mm or nougat or oreo)

It works fine on my note 5 and s6e+, but I installed it and looked and I am mistaken. It shows or hides the line when the pattern is wrong.

I've got gravitybox on my S7, and while some options don't work, it's never caused any issues. Currently using quite a few options in it.

[Q] Xposed + GravityBox lockscreen strangeness

I can't seem to post into the development forums because I'm new, so I guess I'll try here...
Last night I installed xposed + gravitybox module and enabled the Maximize widgets on the lockscreen setting. I've got Dashclock on there at the moment and just slide unlock (no pin/password).
The expanding widget parts works just as it should, and I get the lower lock icon. But when I touch it, I can either slide it up (then it collapses into a lockring and I can unlock in the normal fashion), or I can hold the lock icon and it unlocks. This second case weird to me, it seems like it unlocks way too easily. I know before installing gravitybox, holding down the lock into would only collapse the widget, which is what I would've expected it to do.
I have basically stock n5, 4.4.2, rooted, no other xposed modules installed. Playing around with gravitybox settings doesn't seem to change this weirdness.
Any ideas?? Thanks.

[Q] Navigation bar has disappeared

I've got my nexus 5 for a couple of months now, and as soon as I've had it I rooted it and installed the xposed framework for modifications. I use gravity box in order to use pie controls and hide my navigation bar but I kinda miss my on-screen buttons but can't seem to find a way to do it.
Extended desktop mode is off.
I've enabled the navigation bar in gravity box for no success, and tried to used the GMD hide soft keys application but that doesn't seem to work as well (either does several other applications)..
Even tried and disabled gravity box but nav bar just won't come back..
Both the Xposed framework and Gravity box are update
.
I am using the american Nexus 5 32gb model with KK 4.4.2.
Would very much appreciate the assistance!
Either disable expanded desktop or toggle immersive mode off
Both are off (wasn't on in the first place)
You cant have navbar and pie. Its one or the other

Well you dont have to enable nav bar. That master switch in your screenshot is actually just for tweaks. So try set Pie to enable = never and leave nav bar tweaks set to off too.

I actually did that right after I saw your post, and reboot, but still nav bar doesn't seem to pop.
I really don't want to do a factory reset and am hoping to avoid it if possible :\

You should uninstall that GMD thing too.
Sure you've not edited SystemUI in any other ways? You're still on Stock ROM?

All apps I've used and didn't work were uninstalled.
I am on stock 4.4.2 ROM and I don't belive i modifies SystemUI in any way knowingly, how can I check if I have?
BTW, I really appreciate the help! Thanks!
You would know if you had.
Go into the Xposed installer app and uninstall the framework (we can reinstall it later - you wont lose any settings) then reboot. This should rule out anything xposed related. If it's still happening its nothing to do with xposed as it doesnt make changes to actual system files.

Nav bar returned!
But now of course I don't have my xposed frameworks and modules
*PROBLEM SOLVED!*
So I got up and reinstalled the xposed module and on and checked each module..
Apparently the 3 dot menu button on every application kept the navigation bar from going up.
Thanks alot rootSU for your help and guidence!

OK so now you know it IS an xposed module. Now you have to work out which one it is by disabling them all then installing the framework. Then enable one at a time (and reboot in between) to work out which one is causing the issue

What is this 3-dot botton your referring too that solved your problem. I have the same issue and i guess it's the Gravitybox module because everytime i disable it the recent key returns. Im in lollipop as well Stock rom for xperia z3

OPO stock custom lockscreen: how enable landscape on rotation? [FIXED!]

title says it all. i can't for the life of me find the setting to allow lockscreen rotation on my OPO. if i use my phone in my car, it's in landscape, and having a portrait oriented lockscreen just looks and feels silly.
okay, squirly squirts, i have it working.
if someone wants to make a quick script to just tap and go from here, just give me a thanks :good: and acknowledgement
it turns out that you need a stupid build.prop edit
go to /system
edit build.prop. you'll need an editor with root access and r/w privileges
add to the end of the file
Code:
log.tag.launcher_force_rotate=VERBOSE
lockscreen.rot_override=true
to the bottom.
save.
reboot.
there you go.:fingers-crossed:
I don't believe you can do it.

You can. Root, install Gravity Box and Xposed, enable it via Gravity Box. have mine lockscreen rotation working though.

That's not the lockscreen, that's a home screen. Mine does that too. I'm talking about the lockscreen. At least, I'm assuming it isn't the lockscreen, considering it looks like it has a dialer on it. It sure isn't the lockscreen on 11s.
Sorry, I'm talking specifically about the custom slider for the OPO, not a boring ring slider, lol

Thats actually is the lockscreen with PIN lock. Oh I think you are using the custom CM11s lockscreen so it cannot rotate I think. Try disable the custom lockscreen?

Lol, that's what I don't want to do. I want this lockscreen to rotate. That's the point of the thread
hell, i've even disabled the stupid custom lockscreen, hoping i could get the regular stock lockscreen to work in landscape. no such luck using gravity box with supersu (pro), using gravity box. wtf? what the emm effing eff? it's killing me, smalls

of course. using supersu for superuser access. it says it's on. never works. not once. not on the 'custom lockscreen' (which i prefer), nor without custom checked.
effing thing. i don't want to have to flash the thing from scratch, but i might this weekend, if nobody comes up with a solution that works.
in fact, using apex launcher, i can get homescreens to rotate, but not lock. using trebuchet, i can't even get homescreens to rotate, using exact same settings. effing ridiculous

Thats because the auto rotate is dependent on the launcher app. Trebuchet doesn't offer as much settings out of the box.
Lock screen does not allow landscape. Thats just how it is.

An easier solution is to download the set orientation app from Google play. It allows rotation in all screens including lock screen.

brightness slider in quick settings?

Hi guys.
Is there away to have the brightness slider in the QS menu so I don't have too pull down twice to adjust my brightness?
Thanks, I am unable to find an option or mod on Google to do it
If you are rooted with xposed you can get it so you just use the status bar as the brightness slider. This is the only solution I know of.

Probably the only way to do it would be with root. Might even just need a substratum theme. Although not sure about that. I love this phone rooted, although I didn't use it on stock at all.
This magisk rom allows the slider on top
Okay well looks like I might need to root to achieve it.
You can also do a Two-finger swipe down gesture on the notification bar.

Question [Solved] OnePlus back gestures on Pixel 7 Pro?

Is there anyway to customize the back gesture for the Pixel 7 Pro?
I hate the fact that by default, the back gesture is to swipe in from the left and right side of the screen.
This interferes with hamburger menus in every app where swiping in from the left side of the screen no longer works.
The way OnePlus does it is way better, where swiping UP from the bottom left or right side of the screen takes you back. This is just as easy and preserves menu functionality in all apps.
On a rooted device, is there anything that can do this?
On a rooted device, use Fluid Navigation Gestures (FNG) and you can set swipe up gestures along the bottom. You must set the phone to 3 button navigation before applying and follow all instructions.

To open app menus you need to swipe diagonally. If the menu is on the left side, for example, you can slide your finger from the left lower third to the top right.

After seeing that app, I also found an app called vivid gestures. This one is more up to date however the "hide nav bar" feature doesn't seem to be working even after granting permission with root. Any fix?

Try this: go to data/adb/post-fs-data.d and create an empty file with nk extension, containing "resetprop qemu.hw.mainkeys 1" and reboot. Not completely sure, but you might need to set permission to 744.

Will this get rid of the 3 buttons too? Or just the colored bar behind them?

I don't have a pixel 7 Pro (planning to get one), but if you can enable the 3 button navigation, the method above will remove it completely. (Which means you'll have no way to navigate around, but that's the Vivid / Fluid Gestures comes in)

This worked perfectly. I named my file Hidenavbar.nk and put the code you specified inside, and altered the permissions to 744.
Thanks so much! Now I can use this with vivid navigation gestures and I don't have to rely on any other magisk modules.
