[XPOSED] KnockOff for all AOSP devices! - G2 Android Development

Installed an AOSP rom and wish you had KnockOff?
Well now it is here
Simply download the file below, install xposed, enable the module, reboot your device, and voilĂ !
Donate to me through paypal
Also if you have G2 Xposed, there should now be a KnockOff setting for those of you with AOSP that will work on the latest beta.

Just tested it on D801 running houstonn's PA 4.4, working great. Thanks.

This is awesome! I remember enjoying your G2 Xposed module on stock LG rom so much I had to donate! Thanks for giving us some AOSP goodness!

Works great on current cm11 nightly. Thank you. Now hopefully people will stop flooding posts with "is knock off working on this build???????"
Sent from my LG-D800 using xda app-developers app

So this allows Knock-Off globably throughout the rom or just the status bar? The Stock LG rom really only supported Knock-Off on the status bar where the Launcher supported Double-Tap = Screen Off (which I use flawlessly with Nova Prime + Screen Off app).
Very nicely done though. I know all of the dev threads get this constantly asked.
So this requires the "KnockOff.apk" + updated G2 Xposed Settings?

Nice work.
I purchased G2 xposed for the 30mins I used the stock LG rom so it's great to get some AOSP love.
We've been able to use knock off via a variety of methods but this will rule out the need for 3rd party apps and specific launchers.
Thanks!

You can download KnockOff.apk or if you already have G2 Xposed installed you can use that
This mod allows you to use the knockoff feature when double tapping the statusbar.
Should work for any rom on any device

How about double tapping the lockscreen to turn the screen off again. Does that work with this mod?

Interested about this one too, if anyone has tested yet please ?
Cheers !

This is great!! Do you mind sharing how it works?
I created an app which simply request root and send "input keyevent 26" command (Power Button). I use it for Nova Launcher double tap gesture but there is a one (1) second delay for the screen to turn off. I can't seem to get rid of the delay. Any advice? or do you mind building such a simple app for knock off from launcher?

Might not be exactly what you are looking for, but I use a Tasker lock screen task with Nova and there is no delay.

There is a free app in the Play Store called Screen Off and Lock, that was what I had used with Nova in the past. Now I just use a Nav Ring with Screen Off.

I tried most apps in the Play Store, they all locks the screen immediately. (I'm using pattern lock)
I'm currently tasker as well, this is what i did:
A1: Keyguard [ Set: off ]
A2: System Lock
A3: Wait [ MS:15 Seconds:0 Minutes:0 Hours:0 Days:0 ]
A4: Stop [ With Error: off Task: ] If [ %SCREEN ~ on ]
A5: Keyguard [ Set: on ]
A6: System Lock
This will engage lock after 15 seconds. This doesn't look clean though since the task will run for 15 seconds after the screen is off.

Well, without root the send input command does not work. I tried it with "Terminal Emulator".

Well I'm not sure about with or without root (I'm rooted), but I double tap and my screen closes instantly without any delay. I also have swipe down for notifications and swipe up to hide status bar.

[MOD/APP][AOKP] COPY/PASTE buttons in NAVIGATION BAR!!! NOW MORE BUTTONS!!!

Hello, I created this 2 apps to add copy and paste buttons to the nabvar...
What this app does is to simulate a keypress from a service when button is pressed....
Concretely sends KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN for CTRL_LEFT(holds that key pressed), then injects C or V KeyCode event and finally it sends KeyEvent.ACTION_UP for CTRL key(releases that key).
However, not all apps are compatible with CTRL key, so this wont work properly with these apps
This app has been tried on Xylon ROM but also it SHOULD work on AOKP and derivates.
**THIS APP DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT**
Install like a normal APK
COPY: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kinq13mljdzl9ho/NavbarCopy_signed.apk
PASTE: https://www.dropbox.com/s/clxj83sqg76lkof/NavbarPaste_signed.apk
-----------------------------------------------------------
MORE FUNCTIONS ADDED!!!
To use this app you must sign with system signature, which can be find in its repositories
http://db.tt/KD07RwYy
Here is the source code!
http://db.tt/d10qEVO9
so will it work on non root stock rom?
Re: [MOD/APP][AOKP] COPY/PASTE buttons in NAVIGATION BAR!!! (Root & NON Root)
No, it doesn't work for non rooted. It installs and goes to widgets and put it on the screen and it says not installed when clicked. Plus, non rooted wouldn't be able to add those to the launcher. MAYBE 3rd party but I don't wanna do all that..

This is looking really cool. I love aokp nav bar mods and this seems quite similar.
Is there a function in there for "last app"? That's probably my favorite thing to have on the nav bar.

To sign you can use a program called "apk signer" (i think)

I don't have such issue. First what I got in mind is that your cable have broken data wires, so it allow only charging. Can you manually change it to MTP connection in settings and it work?

Yeah, he should check that cable. I'm using few different data cables and no problem here.
This LG Plug & Pop tool show animation when:
USB data cable
Headphones
Dock station
are plugged in. After that bottom animation finished, it call other related application activity. So issue lays in Settings App, why that selections are not shown.

Thanks so much dev!! I previously resorted to setting the nav bar height to 1% but that created a lot of problems.
Do you happen to have a fix for double tap on the clock quick window widget? After I disabled the stock player, double tapping on the clock doesn't turn it off but double tapping on the weather one does :/

You can post your quick view issue in own thread, either here or in [Q&A]. I don't want to promise anything, but maybe I could have a look.
So let's discuss it somewhere else.
Installed and working perfectly on VS980 (Verizon). Also works with LMT without issue. Thanks for this!!
Forgive my ignorance, but does this only work if you completely remove nav bar? I just shrunk mine by 20% and get plug n play close. Will this work for me? Or is that a feature that could be added?

[XPOSED][KK](1.3) LG Pie Support

Did you upgraded to KitKat and want to hide Navigation Bar and use third party Pie control like LMT?
Well, maybe you find that LMT doesn't show from the bottom of screen after you did all above steps, right? It happen to me too.
This is why I created this Xposed mod. It will disable Navigation Ring, so your third party navigation will again show at the bottom of screen. Enjoy!

Hi @smyrosnik and @6ril1,
I have 20a and no lg keyboard fc issue. Can you provide me logcat?
My LG keyboard version is 4.4.28, if you have older, try software update.
I don't think weather is broken by my mod. It doesn't work at all, no matter if I activate or disable my mod.
I am guessing the mod is modifying build.prop. In this case whether I try to hide navigation button through the mod or by addding qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to that file has the same result. It causes the weather widget to malfunction and sometimes the keyboard fc. The keyboard version is 4.4.22. I have used both Stock 4.4.2 international version for D802 and CloudyStock 1.2. Same problem
I will provide the log as soon as possible.

Not modifying build.prop, but overwrite android config value. Basically output is same. As you guys said, this is common way for most mods to hide navigation, nothing special.
Weird is that weather widget doesn't work on my device. When I add it to home screen or lock screen it ask to download 75MB update. After that update add again doesn't work at all.
Any idea why the mod doesn't seem to do anything? Installed,activated and rebooted, the navigation bar is still there. Would love to get some pie for the stock ROM finally,feels so cramped with the bar

Hi, I'm using this mod but I still have the navigation ring.

You gave me light at the end of the tunnel. I was about to convince myself a huge nav bar is fine, until I saw this. Works great with GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys.

Well, your screenshot show gravity box crash. Gravity box is quite powerfull mod, it tweaks a lot of things. Try to check it's settings if there is anything related to Navigation Ring. Like I wrote before, if using multiple mod which tweaks navigation bar, it could happen that my mod disable it and next mod enable again.
You can simply confirm it by disabling gravity box for the moment and restart.

What I see is a lot of missing files and resources needed for keyboard to run. This looks really strange. You are running original LG stock ROM? Anything disabled or removed?
I don't think I can solve missing keyboard files. Do you have latest 4.4.28 keyboard?

Key Plus - Change LG V10 Volume key shortcut to flashlight or any app (without root)

Hello friends, I am Naveen Naushad, an indie Android developer from India. I developed this app for G3, with which you can change the Volume button launch apps when the phone is locked, that too without root access.
Some Reddit users tested it on V10 as well and have confirmed it is working correctly. You will be able to modify the Volume Up action to toggle flashlight, launch a different app (instead of QuickMemo+) or even open a custom launcher shortcut. Unfortunately Volume Down cannot be changed as LG hardcoded it to launch camera, starting from Lollipop. Most people are ok with that as they need to change QuickMemo+ only.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apptuners.keyplusapp
Requirements:
Stock LG ROM (or ROMS based on it)
QuickMemo installed and working properly
Not compatible with official flip case
Request:
If you like the app, please rate, review and +1 it at Google Play Store. That will increase the visibility of the app tremendously.
Confirmed. (On Verizon V10) Works nicely with the flashlight toggle. Even with the fingerprint lock. (Need to tap lock button, then vol up button twice to toggle) TYVM!
I really like the idea of this app! Would be nice to have the flashlight up there.

Had to download it via LG updates before double tapping up worked to give me a program association dialog. Additionally, freezing quickmemo afterwards caused the button to stop working again.
Didn't work on my AT&T V10 H900.
Now after revoking administrative rights and uninstalling app shortcut buttons won't work at all anymore , it won't launch camera or capture.

That shouldn't be happening as the app does not modify any system file (as it does not have root access).
Were default shortcuts (Camera and QuickMemo) working before you installed Key Plus? Also can you check the in Settings whether Shortcut keys are enabled?

Affirmative, both. And the fact that I'm not rooted I and it doesn't use root is what makes this so odd. Not sure what to make of this.

:good: Installed and working just fine on my AT&T V10. Not sure what happened here.
Working on my AT&T v10 right out of the box also .
Great app. Meager donation sent.
Thank you. No donation is meagre. Considering only less than 1% of users have donated, it is a big deal.
Got it. Works well. This was something I was missing from Xposed and I honestly haven't wanted to install Xposed this go around.
I know we have it in that little second screen but this just makes it so much easier since it's based on the physical buttons I can do it in the dark... Lol.
I donated as well. I feel like it's worth it. Thanks friend!

I have it working with my V10 H961N..... very thoughtful app! I hated that the only option for the short cut was quickmemo.
Thanks for this app, it's great.
One issue I am having though is now when I hit the quick memo button on my second screen, my flashlight turns on and then only way to get it off is to turn off the screen and double tap your shortcut. Not a deal breaker.

Thanks.
Unfortunately that issue is something that can be debugged only with a V10 in hand. I have been trying to find someone with the phone here but the fact that it has not been released in India, makes it difficult.

FingerPrint issue while using Lock Screen app

Hi there,
I'm using a Lock Screen app for ages now.
it's an app that turns off the screen without having to press the physical power button.
This one, for example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=wq.lockscreen
The issue started since installing the lock screen app and now I can't unlock the phone using my finger print, but only using the pattern. I tried several apps now and none of them worked for me. Only when I uninstall the app the finger print function works flawlessly..
Does anyone here came across this king of issue and found a solution ?
Thanks, guys !

There is a setting for "Smart lock and Nexus imprint" Says Experimental. Works every time for me.
It's a mm issue, not your hardware or software.
The confirmed workaround is use root and nova prime gesture to lock ie double tap/swipe down or up etc. Nova launcher prime is on a sale now too, double goodness

I'm using Nova for along time now, i know there's an option to add a gesture in order to lock the screen, but it doesn't work like any other app i've tried. I don't have root yet on my device, but Nova hasn't asked me for root either.

I'm not sure how it works without root. Give it a try though. It works the same as other lock apps except you're using nova gestures in the home screen.
That's the problem here, all other lock apps can't make it work.
Iv'e tried with Nova now, same issue :\

Any app that offers a real screen off without lock function (which wouldn't interfere with Imprint) needs root to do so.
Nearly all of the apps that provide a screen off function without root use the same API method which by design or oversight on the part of Google overrides both Nexus Imprint unlocking and Smart Lock settings on 5.x devices.
There is a Google Issue tracker thread here - star if this design decision/oversight irritates you - https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=191955
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iglint.android.screenlockpro has a working method but it is really just smoke and mirrors, not a true screen off action.
All it does is temporarily reduce the screen timeout to a minimum value (10 seconds) and sets a black screen overlay until the screen has naturally turned off. It works fine unless you invoke the shortcut and decide within 10 seconds that actually you wanted your screen on.
Nova can't do it with it's standard method either.

If you already use an automation app like Tasker or MacroDroid along with Secure Settings (I prefer MacroDroid) it's pretty easy to emulate the https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iglint.android.screenlockpro workaround and add some extra functionality to cancel the delayed real screen off if you decide you want to interact with the device in the few seconds after activating
Basically the steps are:
Use Secure Settings to set screen timeout to 1 millisecond (this actually results in a 7 second screen time out)
Set brightness to minimum
Set a 100% screen dim
Set Immersive Mode (MacroDroid doesn't support this natively dunno about Tasker - but there are apps that support this via intent so doable).
Reverse the above when the Screen off system broadcast is received and on whatever trigger event you like - I've got a proximity sensor wave to wake set up anyway via MacroDroid so just use that.
