Hey guys,
I did some searching and asked in some IRC channels, but couldn't find a satisfactory answer. I heard Biwoto Cerbero can maybe do I what I want it to do, but even though I'm in New Jersey, their app keeps downloading in Spanish for me. (I emailed them, I'll update this thread if that app can do what I want)
Basically, I have a Nexus 7 I'm trying to enable as a beer pouring authenticator for the Kegbot project. NFC authentication is easy past the lockscreen, but I also want to be able to use the tablet. Seeing as how I'm in college, letting some drunk friends play with my personal gmail sounds like a bad idea.
So I have two questions. One, I haven't seen this for the Nexus 7, but I know it's possible-- how hard would it be (presumably in a custom ROM) to enable NFC to work with the lockscreen off?
Two, is it possible to implement a top lock over my pattern unlock, wherein the top lock (could be anything, but presumably just a simple swipe) would allow access to only one application (the Kegbot app that responds to authenticated NFC tags by offering to pour a beer), but still keep another lockscreen in place to prevent other apps from being used?
That would also allow me to keep an app that writes specific strings or something to the tags to allow for access control if I don't want people rewriting their own NFC cards. (Though I could always write lock those)
Thanks!
Hate to reply to myself, but I think I've found the answer.
So my googling turned up this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5iaXdvdGEuY2VyYmVybyJd
It has some localization issues they're trying to fix, but it's not hard to change the language to English if you play around with the settings.
I've been emailing back and forth with one of the developers, who has been helping me out a ton. If you have the premium version (only a dollar), you can call their lock screen (either PIN or NFC) to come up after you leave the application you are in that you want to restrict access to. So I have my face unlock, get past the Cerbero lock, then I open my app. I call an intent in the app on destruction of the launcher activity that brings up the lock again. It's not the cleanest solution, but it works for my purposes.

Did you have any luck being able to use NFC without having to unlock the screen? i've seen other device specific solutions on xdad but nothing for the Nexus 7
Thanks.
Some time ago there was a modified nfc apk wich worked in both my nexus s and galaxy nexus...and it could do that.

I belive it was on gnex themes and apps forum.
Anyone found out how to get NFC working without the screen being on?
I've tried several methods under Gnex and GS3 forums but it doesn't work.
The script should show an extra "button" while the phone is ringing. Sliding your finger right over this button will disconnect the call and redial it back right away.
I did this because of the switching to an "unlimited minutes" plan, while some of my friends that call me are on some very expensive ones. This allows calling such a person back in one single swipe.
Attaching the tasker xml as well as an exported "application". Please note, those "applications" are a new tasker feature i am not very familiar with, i have no idea of what are the dependencies of those, why it puts what it puts in the manifest, how the implementation looks etc. If you install that apk, you do it at your own risk. All i did was exporting the same tab into both xml and apk from tasker, i did not code a single line in Eclipse to make it, nor i've signed it myself.
PS: Not sure if this is of any interest to anyone, but i've decided to share anyway.
Thanks for this, It will be very useful for me.

Very useful, thanks.
I addedd a button to reject the incoming call and send a courtesy SMS to inform that I'm busy now and I recall as soon I can.
Just a question: I didn't find the association between swipe to right and scene (rectangle or whatelese).
Is it possible to add the association between a swipe to left gesture too?
How can I associate a gesture (not a tap or long tap) to an object?
EDIT:
Found!
Stroke->Direction
I understand that only one gesture can be associated to an object

all devs should implement this mod in their rom
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
This is not even a mod, just a little tasker script. It cannot be "implemented in a ROM"
I suppose I'm fairly stupid since I can't import the file in tasker. Any tips? (the prj.xml file, not the apk obviously)
---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------
Quick note,
Your post inspired me. Ever since switching to pay as you go, I never answer the phone. I call back using groove ip.
Did this quick setup in tasker:
When Incoming call:
Copy CNUM (incoming number) to clipboard
If wifi is connected, launch groove ip
Very simple, the second I swipe to deny the call, groove ip is already open, and I'm ready to paste the number! Very sweet!
It would be awesome if there was Reject the call and remind me in 30 mins or 1hour or it creates a reminder in my calender.

Reminding from tasker is definitely possible. Not sure about calendar reminders, though. It is possible to add reminders using the normal (java) app API, though.

Should work, but you will probably need to edit it a bit and move the "reject and call back" button to some better location.
PS: Maybe i should code an actual "real" app with this stuff, "coding" anything but the simplest things in tasker is a pain in the butt, really. The problem is, i don't have any real experience (nothing beyond a simple hello world plus wandering around the activities/services/broadcasts/etc concepts) coding Android apps or even coding in Java, nor i have much time to learn the stuff.

Again, it's NOT a mod at all. It's a tasker script/project. The xml is not a modification of a preexisting system file but a project to load into tasker.

Exactly. But, seemingly, tasker allows exporting it's scripts as standalone apps. That's the attached apk. Hence, installing this apk, without tasker, as a normal app, may work as well. Note that i've never tested this, so you will probably be the first

It can't damage anything on the system level, it is not even supposed to ask for root. But, sure, better be safe than sorry
Is there a way (mod) to UNLOCK the phone by just pressing the password and skipping the OK like it is on the iPhone ?, thanks
Use a swipe password. Much faster.

face unlock is the best
Yeah, try Face unlock, its soooo cool. There are plenty of unlock options, just go to Settings>Lock Screen>and/or Lock Screen Options.
Yeah but,
Great ideas everyone, but none of these options are available if you have an Exchange account. Depending on your Exchange policy, the user may not even have the Settings entries described above.
Assuming you want to (Or are forced to) keep the PIN pad, is there any way to change the behavior to what the OP described?
Use a third party email client -- I use Touchdown (I have no affiliation with them, other than having paid them $$$ for the privilege to use their product). This allows you to ignore device policies for the whole phone EXCEPT the contact with the exchange server. And my solution works reasonably well.
Alternatively, you could root and then fake out your exchange server -- there is a separate thread about this floating around these forums (Note 2 forums) somewhere.
In any case, good luck.

well im using ( folding keypad lock screen )
and i like it is cool
Hello All,
I've been searching how to bypass the Exchange security policy on our device and was unable to really find anything.
This is a MOD that exists for Vanilla roms easily, and is also available for many other ROMs in the form of modified APK's.
After a bunch of searching I was able to find a MOD that would patch up the APK's on many ROMs, including TW ROMs.
I have nothing to do with this work, and all credit goes to its creators in the link below.
You will have to download this to your computer, and have Java SDK (JDK) installed on your machine.
When you run it - it will say that it cannot identify the EMAIL APK and ask you to type the APK name.
On our phone it is: SECEMAIL_J.APK
(It is located in /systems/app folder, if you care, though you don't need to know this)
The program will also create a backup of this APK file, as well as the SecExchange.APK which it modifies as well.
Good luck to you all!

Everything seems to line up just fine except it seems the security policies were applied anyway...
Note: FRESH BRAND NEW PHONE
1) Rooted device.
2) Setup my exchange mail settings, device asked me to accept policy changes, I closed it (not agreeing).
3) Downloaded the attached file (on that thread) "email-policy-patch-3.3.zip"
4) Extracted it...
5) Plugged up my phone.
6) Ran apply-patch.cmd
7) Said "Can't find Email app. Enter the name of your Email apk or press <Enter> to exit:"
8) Typed in "SECEMAIL_J.APK"
9) Finished patch successfully.
10) Phone rebooted and I open the mail app accepting the security policies. Then it made me set a PIN instead of my pattern.
Note: I did try to delete the email account and re add it with no success..
Now I'm confused... Why do I have to use a 7 char PIN? I thought the whole point of this was to avoid the security settings.
Ideas?
I hope this did not work. otherwise it is a huge security risk for the exchange server.

It's been working for a lot of people... I have said it before and I'll say it again...
If you want to control the data fine... But NO ONE, will control my phone but me. To give a single company access to my entire phone is ludacris! There is no reason they need access to remote wipe my entire phone. If they need the ability to wipe the exchange account and all the relevant data with it fine, i'm ok with that... Now if they want to pay the $600 for my phone then we will talk ...
It worked!! I can't believe it. Thank you so much.

True enough. But then I don't have to let you use my exchange server if you don't abide by the policy I set forth, do I? This is not about your phone.

I thought I saw xposed modules for this.. why dont you guys use that? Its much cleaner and will survive rom flashing and it gets updates too
Don't enable security during offwork
Pretty simple. If you're not paid during off, then don't enable security on your phone. Or create an app that disable your security during off hours.
Hi everyone,
i have just purchased a nexus 5 after a long wait for its release, so i am now going to have an nfc enabled phone. I go to a university where we have nfc tags instead of keys and i would like to know if it would be possible to write the information from the nfc tag to my phone so i will be able to use my phone as my key so i dont have to keep taking my key around with me.
any help with this would be much appreciated, or if its just not technically possible at least it will have put this idea to rest in my head
Thanks guys

Thanks for the reply! Just got an email from google saying my N5 has shipped cant wait to try this!
Id be a bit concerned if my campus keycard system could be cloned by anyone with nfc on their phone. If your school is on their and puts some level of encryption on their system. Then again if they are at all like my school was when it comes to tech, clone away!
endlywi distinct
unfortunately the key is encrypted but got my nexus 5 so woo!
You might be able to talk to the person who runs the keycards and get them to flash your phone but id highly doubt they'd let you do it.
