[Port]SlideAside and Knock Code from G Pro 2 - LG Optimus G Pro

http://goo.gl/wGis8Q
1. LGTouchControlAreas.apk and LockScreenSettings.apk in system/app.
2. LGSlideAside.apk in system/priv-app.
3. Set all APK permissions to 644.

**UPDATE**
I just updated to F240K20h and found that it breaks compatibility with Knock Code. SlideAside still works fine.

Set knock code as unlock method, but the grid doesn't show on the lock screen, just the pin pad. Slide aside works.

Yup. Same thing. I could set the knock code in the settings but after locking the phone, it takes me to the pin screen and as it doesn't accept my actual pin, i have to enter 5 wrong pins to get forgot pin button and enter my actual pin to unlock the phone. And yes slide aside works.

Make sure you set permissions correctly before reboot.

644 = rw-r--r-- correct?

Are you saying that the screen can be awakened by knock? I thought that was a feature specific to Snapdragon 800 series devices and kernel related code was required to make it work.

No, it is purely an unlocking type - when you wake your phone a grid overlays that you tap based on the pattern you set up.

What's that "e" for?
r (Read), w (Write) and x (Execute) are the only permission types.

Did you actually set the PIN during the knockcode setup? Is knockcode selected as the unlocking function? It should work fine if you did set it up correctly.

Yup, i did set up the pin and the knock code was selected as lockscreen mode yet it still takes me to pin pad. The apks should be copied to system>app right?. First i copied to system>app as suggested by op, then i copied all 3 to system>priv-app as suggested by another member. Stil aint working though.

Yes. I did it by accident, changed permission and rebooted phone. Changed lock screen settings to knock code.

I really like the SlideAside feature. It's almost like a multiwindow feature like on Samsung devices, but saves screen space.
I haven't tried the knock code feature, but I'm going to pass on that anyway. I just have no interest in any of LG's "Knock" features. I mean, I might learn to like them if I had native implementation of them on my phone, but I think that even if I had the G2, I'd probably disable the features (assuming the power button is eay to press I guess)
.
@JaySee5:
Did you modify the files in any way to make the SlideAside option appear in the Settings?
If not, I'm wondering if the Jelly Bean Aspect Ration Correction feature can be ported into KitKat and still appear in the settings list. It was just a system file from what I recall. I'd try it myself, but I lost all my Jelly Bean backups. They were all on my phone and when upgrading to Kitkat, the internal SD got wiped.
(I really need this aspect ratio option back. I rely on some old apps that dont display correctly on my phone now).

I didn't do anything. This is other peoples' work. I just made a thread for it so everyone can find it easily.

I'm just throwing this here:
After having Slide Aside working flawlessly for a full day, the app and system began crashing after about a day.
Slide Aside would crash if you try to add more than 1 app.
Settings would crash whenever you accessed a system-made apps list (I don't know how else to explain this). The only way to fix this is to factory reset the phone.
An example would be Settings>Apps
In fact, I was able to repeat this crash every time by going to Settings>Apps then scrolling over to "All."
If I scrolled down the list at any speed, Settings would crash at the exact same point.
Another example would be the apps list in Titanium Backup, which is not system-made. This means that the problem does not occur in this app,
I'm not sure yet if this is actually caused by SlideAside or GravityBox. The latest version of GravityBox (which I'm using obviously), has a changelog entry stating, "Fixed severe bug in AppPicker affecting ring targets/quick app tile icons." This COULD be the culprit, but I'm not sure yet. I'm currently debugging the issue though. I just factory reset the phone and updated GravityBox and don't have SlideAside installed. Everything is working as expected ow, but I'm going to give it a couple days to see if the problem happens again. If not, then I'll install SlideAside and repeat.

Oh ok. Thanks.
I still wonder if the Aspect Ratio Correction file can simply be copied to the system and have its permissions set correctly- no editing of the file's programming. Then maybe the setting will appear... Hmmmmmm

Just an FYI: This feature needs a special kernel to support it. There were some Jelly Bean roms that included a modified kernel, but they were only working on the E988, from what I remember.
Even those kernels weren't perfect though. People reported high battery drain.

Not necessarily true... I side loaded both these apps just fine in EsFile Explorer. Try going into recovery and fixing permisions and clear cache/dalvik, bet you already have install from unknown sources checked, but double check just in case. But in the later, it would prompt for you to change it when attempting to install :/

Thanks...
Yes, install button going disabled is a bug in android systems, not just Lux, or because of any other brightness reducer app!
If u have any brightness reducer app, it results in disabling the install button for installing any saved app(apps from playstore install without any problem).
Disabling this app will enable the "install" button. :thumbup:

[Q]Is it possible to enable NFC at lock screen?

I love NFC and was hoping to use it a lot with the chips I bought. However unlocking the phone first is really stupid. Is there some way to enable NFC to work at the lock screen? So that the NFC unlocks it or something? It is kinda useless to me now. BTW I have root, but no recovery. I don't want recovery because of the triangle stuff.
why u dont just enable the NFC all the time? i dont think with NFC enable/disable the battery drain is noticable

I think you understood me wrong. NFC doesn't work when the screen is off/locked. That sucks, because I want to use it when coming home/leaving home and I really don't see the point in using this if I have to unlock it first.
Yeah,
Even the manual says it only works when the screen is unlocked.

I'm not trying. Also I just hope there is some way without recovery.
I really hope there will be an "official" way at some point.
If anyone is making a mod for this, maybe we can bypass the security concerns if there was a pop-up that requires you to approve the tag first, and be pre-approved for known tags. This way security is not compromised, and we also get the added convenience as well.

You can just extract the zip using something like rom toolbox, and then copy the files to there respective place manually, that way you don't need recovery.

Seconded, would love this for my note ii
I'm using this method which is for Note 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1999569
Works fine. Have set up a few tags and using it with Secure Settings, NFC Task Launcher and Tasker to do a number of things without having to wake the phone up or unlock first.
The only issue is that if you put your wallet in the same pocket as your phone, it will beep when it scans the the NFC chips in the credit cards
The method replaces the NFC service file in the system directory so at the very least you need root access.

All works for me, woohoo but whenever you use the browser or chrome, it crashes the nfc service
I'm experiencing that problem as well now. Also on launching YouTube service. It's annoying and makes it more inconvenient than having nfc screen off. There is another method through XposedFramework which is non destructive on the stock NFC.apk file. Might be worth a look?

But before that, I tried to restore my NFC to a non crashing version after doing the CWM method. I couldn't get my stock NFC.apk back, even with TitaniunBackup. Had to do a selective /system restore.

Note II US Sprint NFC Screen off Mod request

Can someone please mod the NFC.apk for the NOTE II US Sprint to allow screen off NFC to function?
Its working on the S3 and so much more convenient. I found a mod for the Note II but it does not work screen off only at the lock screen.
the NFC.apk is attached.
I'm just getting started with NFC tags, and i agree that this would be REALLY useful. Anyone have the know-how to make this happen?
it is so insanely inconvenient to have to turn the stinking phone on to use tags that I am at the point where if I found instructions I might try and make a go of making the changes myself
This would be nice to have. Hopefully someone can help.

True, but when rooted, you still have control of what apps you install. This mod would expose you to random strangers trying to steal your data.
Rooting is like looking a hole in your firewall and putting a gate up. This is like telling the firewall altogether.
But hey to each their own
swyped all these spelling errors from my galaxy note 2
the only relevant security for NFC is that you have to be within 1 INCH (maybe 1.5" if you REALLY line it up right)
if your close enough to be a threat to my security with NFC your also close enough for me to be a very relevant and serious threat to your physical safety as I "investigate" why your lining a phone up within 1 inch of my phone in my pocket.
SO security? non issue. period.
and anyway in the future it should not be hard for dev's to enable whitelisting so only "certain things" can be done without user interaction.
this was an issue with cards before the feature even came to the phones... you never had to turn on your nfc debit card, why don't THEY have security issues?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
because THE RANGE IS ONE INCH
if your close enough to scan it that by definition means you have physical possession of it which means security is irrelevant.
this is not like bluetooth that you can pump up the power and fine tune a receiver and do it from 30ft away. or even 10ft.
1 inch. less distance than the length of your pinky finger.
again if they are that close there are OTHER issues at play folks hehehe

[MOD][APP] 4.2.2 NEXUS 4 | Exchange Email with Disabled Security Permissions

Exchange Email APKs for Nexus 4 4.2+ stock with security permissions disabled.
PLEASE READ THE FULL POST...ITS ONLY A FEW LINES!
Created using rustamabd's method, Full props to him.
Circumvents PIN AND Encryption requirements.
Created from stock and CM10.1 images, cannot confirm that it'll work on other ROMs.
UPDATEs:
5/8/13:
added CM10.1 compatible APKs
9/9/13:
New: Patched de-odexed STOCK 4.3 APKs added. Also, things were getting kind of busy, so I put the apks in a zip thats named per version, that was there's none of this renaming BS.
12/16/13:
Added CM10.2 compatible APKs
1/4/14
Added CM11 APKs
2/18/14
Added PA4 APKs
Tutorial:
Force Stop Email, and Clear Data.
Using Root Explorer (or something like it), go to /system/app and rename EmailGoogle and Exchange2Google apks and odex to EmailGoogle.apk.backup and Exchange2Google.apk.backup, etc (always important to have a backup that way you don't F everything up)
Download and unzip appropriate archive for your OS version
Move the files to /system/app
Set permissions to rw-r-r-
Reboot device
Note: You will have to allow activation additional security permissions when Email asks for it. But you should not be required to encrypt your device or set a PIN. Also, you will have to reload all your email info after this.
As always: for educational purposes only, can get you fired, jailed, tortured, etc. Use at your own discretion.

Basically stock email app may force you to set a security pin/pattern due to corporate security policies. This effectively makes any of your lock screen widgets, slider shortcuts unusable. This mod will allow you to bypass the exchange security requirement from exchange servers.

Haven't tried it yet but has anyone noticed battery drain with this version? I stopped using the one in the other thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1749921) because it caused alot of wakelocks. Exchange Services became my 2nd highest battery drainer
Yeah I read about that on that forum. Supposedly it has to do with incomplete syncs with the exchange calendar. I never experienced the drain, but disabled exchange calendar sync since I don't use it that much anyways. My battery life has been reasonable, roughly 10 hours with moderate to heavy usage, 14-18 if I'm not on it a lot.

Works well with Xylon.
Anybody else on 4.2.2 gets' the "Couldn't open connection to the server" with an Exchange account? I get that very frequently and sometimes it decides to work.

Ok, thank you.
I tried this but still needed to set a pin. I must be missing something.

You have to clear your current exchange account and set it up again AFTER you have replaced the files from this thread and set the appropriate permissions. It works quite well, specially also because it ignores the need to encrypt the device. Suberrrr!

I did. I followed the instructions exactly. My issue is at the very end of email setup, it forces me to set a pin still.

Just tried this out today. The files worked great with PACman ROM. It asked for permission to become device administrator, and then to enforce security polices. I allowed both, but it actually didn't enforce any new security polices that I could tell. My email syncs now. Thanks!

Try redoing the steps.
1) system>apps>email and force Stop and Clear Data. Do the same for exchange if it's running.
2) replace EmailGoogle.apk and Exchange2Google.apk in /system/app with the attached files from the OP.
3) change permissions to rw-r-r
4) restart device
5) setup your email. It will ask to activate permissions like pin and encryption, but once you click activate, your email should work fine.

Easier than I thought! and it works fine. Thank you
I'm on Carbon btw

Disable on screen keys for pie control?

I searched all over and cant find an answer. I tried adding "qemu.hw.mainkeys+1" to build prop but got nothing. I want to utilize the full screen and I am used to gestures from my blackberry q10 so I thought this would be perfect. Thanks!
I am assuming you are already rooted. You can install the GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys app. Works nicely, but you have to buy the pro version to unlock dinner of the features.

Try looking for qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 in your build.prop file

You mean it should already be in their? I couldn't find it. I tried adding that to the end of the list but it didnt do anything after rebooting.
I added it to my build prop and it worked. I'm using lmt. It won't start up by itself though, or I haven't figured out how yet. Also make sure your keyboard didn't auto correct the words.

Would being s-on have anything to do with it not saving? I am rooted and everything but havent got around to getting soff. I add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" and reboot and nothing happens.
it seems like adaway doesn't save after a reboot either so I assume this has something do with s-on. I wasn't going to soff until cyanogenmod or something was available. So if anyone reads this, is that the issue?
its not saving because of system write protection, not s-off. If you have root already, there is a module the Original Android Development section that you can push to phone and setup script to disable the protection, allowing those apps to save after a reboot.

Thanks for the input. I guess I need to wait for a rom or something to come out for sprint because it seems for the buttons to dissapear, the phone needs to be rebooted which then reenables the write protection.

Do you have a stock nand backup you could send? I can definitely make a ROM for ya, just no one in my team has a sprint m8..

Nand backup as in from TWRP? I just found ViperOne ROM and flashed it and didn't make a backup.
If only I checked the thread sooner. I still can't get the write protection working and its annoying the heck out of me! I want pie!
Are you putting a 1 or a 0? I believe ¹ is what hides the navbar. There aren't any modules you could flash to disable write protection? Idk if the ones in the m8 section are usable on sprint m8 or not though
