Password protected system bar via power button - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
I've read this article (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265397). Really cool stuff.
Is it possible to protect the Button "Status Bar On/Off" with a password, so that it is just possible to show the Statusbar if I enter the right Password?
Thx

you should make a request to the OP of the thread...

I would love to do that but I'm under 10 posts...

[Q] Any way to Slide Unlock->Enter Pin->Access Phone?

Right now I have to enter a pin to unlock the phone when I press the power button. Is there any way to slide to unlock, then the enter pin menu comes?
I want this so I can quickly check the time/weather without logging in all the time. Right now i'm greeted by a big ugly pin entry screen every time I press the power button.

I use Widget Locker for my lock screen and I also use extended controls for my toggle bar. Extended controls lets you set an "auto lock" button. This lets me toggle the pin lock on and off. This lets me have a slider screen first and then a pin screen second (but only when I need it).
anything free?

Not that I know of, but Widget Locker is really customizeable and you can do a lot with it

[Q] soft keys, how to turn off the d pad

Can it be done?
I formatted my book and set it up again but the d pad is on and it never was before.
The only way i have found is to press and hold on the popper. This will make it go away until you press and hold the popper again. Have not found a more permanant solution yet.
You might try disabling the virtual home button - and hence the d-pad thing - and let it pop up on double clicking the 'n' button from settings.
What exactly is the Popper?

I don't see a setting to "disable" the virtual home button.

I am not able to post links (lurker for years with no posts). Try the following url in your address bar for an explanation - from nookdevs site:
nookdevs.com / NookColor_Default_Launcher
just remove spaces and should be good to go. Hope that helps.
The popper is the floating circle that you press to bring up the softkeys when they are hidden.
If you have not already give the status bar hack a try over in the development forum. Its much better than the soft keys in my opinion

I need to investigate.
All i did was turn up all the way the transparency, under softkey service in the softkey options.
as long as their not assigned to anythign then it shouldnt matter if you touch in that area

This 'long press menu' reboot option will exist in custom roms such as cm9.
It may be difficult for you to add this option yourself.

or just stick a paper clip in the little hole underneath micro SD card. put enough pressure till you hear or feel it click. or until you see device reboot. that might be the button you talking about. reboot/reset is that pinhole on volume rocker side underneath the memory card slot. use this if prime freezes or locks up or becomes unstable.
True dev thing to add the option in Power Off pop up.. Usually present in CynaogenMod.
For now you can just keep pressed the Power button for at least 5-7 sec, device will reboot.

[Q] App developer wanted

sorry if i am posting this in the wrong section
what i am looking for is a dev to write an app for me that would make it so whenever you tried to go to the home screen you needed to enter a password
Before it's closed... enable a lockscreen lock feature in the settings menu.
Questions go in the Q&A section - not the Dev section

As the user above said you can enable the lock screen to have a pattern or pin to unlock it and set it to lock immediately after screen off via power button . So when your done browsing or using your tab you just push the power button to turn the screen off and it will lock automatically. So when you hit the power button to turn the screen on to use the tab again you'll be prompted for a pin/pattern. No need for a special app.
but i never said power button i said HOME button i dont want then to have access to the HOME screen

There is an application called surelock available in market which locks down your system and stops people accessing the home screen and other applications. There is a free trial available.
When your done using the tablet push the power button which will power off the screen and lock the tab. They won't be able to access anything without entering the code/pin.

Negative Color Shortcut Key

Hi Guys,
I am hopping someone can help me with setting up the shortcut for negative/inverted color view on my S9. On my old S7 I've set up the accessibility shortcut to enable negative view by pressing the home button 3 times quickly.
Is there a way to do the same with the S9? I would prefer for it to be the home button, but would be ok with the bixby.
Thank you.
Or is there a way to enable this icon in the tas/notification pulldown?
Kinda answered my own question by accident.
After enabling the negative view, pressing volume-UP and power button at the same time acts as a switch between normal and negative.
Does this still work for you?
I used the shortcut for a while and then it stopped working with the latest OS update.
