If you try it and it doesn't work as expected then let me know. I don't have a keyboarddock myself but I've tested the app on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 with both Bluetooth and USB keyboards (swedish layout) with Android 3.1, 3.2 and 4.0.3 (CM9).
I'd be surprised if it does not work with the keyboard-dock.

Yap, and guess what:
I couldn't get it to work in QWERTZ mode. Even with the software it kept a QWERTY-keyboard.
Same with the original Samsung bluetooth keyboard cover - no way. Btw: The USB-host-adapter I've got wasn't working either with ICS-Kang.
So, I switched back to Task650 v.14.

It should work. Perhaps you did not switch input method to External Keyboard Helper?
The only devices that I know of that it does not seem to work on is Xperia devices when using USB keyboard. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 myself and it works with stock 3.1 and 3.2 and CM9. I also use it on my Motorola Xoom with stock 3.2.

Yes, but I didn't get it to work with ICS-Kang. With 3.2 it is natively supported. Under ICS the external USB-hub isn't working either, which is no problem under 3.2

Sounds like a kernel issue with the release you are using. I can use USB attached keyboard, mouse, etc with CyanogenMod 9 on my Galaxy 8.9 and I'm using a slightly modified version of the 10.1 kernel that is used in CM9 for the Galaxy 10.1. USB keyboard should work with if you build CM9 from the official repos.
There are some nightlys here for the 10.1 wifi: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=p4wifi
hi there,
i just downloaded the demo app of keyboard helper to try if it works.. i have the galaxy tab 10.1 keyboard dock.
well let's say it works quiet well with the german layout.
but what's keeping me from spending those 2€ on the pro version is, that it does not support all the special keys on the dock.. or i'm not able to correctly assign the keycodes...
ok, these special keys are not working by default:
* 'Home' Button
* 'App Switch' Button - you know, the one which would show all the open apps, like the softkey button right to the home button in ICS roms.
* 'Darker' & 'Brighter' buttons
* 'Mute' Button
* 'App Drawer' Button
I don't know if this is a ROM issue, but after enabling the custom layout and playing around with the key mappings I only got the 'Home' button working again..
I didn't find an option for brighten or darken the display, nor does the mute keycode work on my ROM..
If there's an keycode for the app drawer or the app switch, i must be blind, because I didn't find it..
hopefully you can implement the missing functionality! I want to use my keyboard dock to it's full extend
btw: i'm using AOKP build 24 (i know, it's old)

You can map these manually in the latest version (3.7). Works fine in CM7.2 and CM9 but didn't work as intended on my Xoom with stock 3.2 but next version (3.8) will works on the Xoom and probably most other devices.
* 'Mute' Button

Works for me with CM9 and Samsung BT keyboard case without doing any remapping. Not sure why it does not work for you.

Android 4.2 keyboard with gesture, its as good as swipe.
http://m.pocketnow.com/2012/10/30/android-4-2-stock-keyboard-now-available-for-download-unofficially
After installing go to languages and input and check Android Key board
Hope it will be useful.
Download and Install
Now, getting it on your device is going to be easy for some of you, and less easy for others. You'll need to be on Android 4.0+, to start.
If you're on a phone with a UI overlay that has the stock keyboard disabled (eg, Samsung TouchWiz, HTC Sense, Sony), you can just download the apk below- no root required. To install, make sure you have "install from unknown sources" enabled in your phone settings, and after installation, go into your phone's keyboard settings and enable "Android keyboard." Then, you can switch to the new keyboard. This may also work on some "stock" Android custom ROMs - but it will not work on stock Android builds distributed by Google.
Get the apk here: http://d-h.st/XuS
If the apk doesn't work, you're running a phone that is either A.) running stock Android (as in, AOSP), or B.) running software that has the stock Android keyboard as an option, you'll need to download this ZIP file, and flash it in recovery. That also means you're going to need root. as you'll be writing to /system/apps. Before you do, though, either back up the stock keyboard (if you don't know how, you probably shouldn't be doing this) or create a full image backup, just in case. Here's that ZIP file:

Edit: i test the gallery,looking nice but not all work on latest CM10 the camera not change the orientation automatic,u had to turn on the rotation. U can not edit the picture if u click on the button that is shown after u take a photo and swipe right.

I just tried it.
Downloaded from QR code
Installed OK
Just added item for launchpad
I did the calibration and emailed the report.
I did touch the screen on the right border from the top to the bottom.
Value does not increase. 0x0.
That may explain why the next and previous app gestures are not working.... ?
If I restore the default values, the next gesture is ok but not the previous...?
Can't wait to discover more of this App.
If you want a translation for French language let me know !

You have to do calibration with SPen .
Done, mail resend calibration values updated.
Amazing job with this app!
Is there any way to disable Samsung's built in gestures?

Update:
* Added correct default calibration for all devices: Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Note 10.1
Please try fresh install and try if gestures that have starting zone on border execute properly.

I was wondering if it is possible from Android settings, but I guess not . It might be possible with root api.
Working perfectly on my Note2. Badly wanted a gesture to open recent apps and goto home.
New version 1.1.0
New version:
1.1.0:
- Added disable Samsung gestures optio
- Added default Pause/Unpause gesture - use it to toggle between this application and Samsung gestures.
- Added option to draw SPen path when Samsung gestures are disabled or custom ROM is flashed.
Wow, great app! I bought it from the market. Now the S-Pen won't just be a gimmick.
I have one problem when I swipe from right to left make it a Screenshots? I disabled Samsung control.

Even I have the same issue. When I set a gesture as right to left or vice versa, any where on the screen it does not work. When use the same gesture from the border, it moves to the next/prev app but takes a screenshot. The kind of screen shot that you get when tap n hold. Tried swiping and release the button quickly, still takes screen shot.

Hey Stupididea,
If its not too much to ask, Can you add Zoom in & Zoom out actions. With this App I am able to do everything with s-pen (no fingers) other than to Zoom in or Zoom out.

Thanks, I was developing on Note1 and I cannot reproduce it there, but I will investigate Note 2 events more closely and continue investigating how to fix screenshot. It only happens if you disable Samsung gestures, right?
I will see if I can add zoom.

I was surprised to see this ... Used to run Carbon Roms on a whole bunch of devices.
Very solid right now, I installed this on one of my many TF201's.
Couple of things to report...
1. Bluetooth when turning on and off FC very frequently.
2. When you go to set a carbon wallpaper the preview wallpaper covers the buttons to select.
3. Replaced stock launcher with Nova, running very nicely.
4. Pretty rapid battery drain. I have been used to HB 1.51 & 2.2 and does not drain as quick.
5. OMG so many options/customizations.
6. Is there a issue when you place the tablet into the dock and not have it charging? Ran into that a few times.
Have not tested HDMI and MOGA & PS3 controls with it. Are there any issues with the controls with this rom?
Other than that so far -- SOLID!
Am I the only one who can't get PIE controls working? Could anyone point me to a sort of tutorial or how-to guide for using PIE? I've seen demo videos of what it looks like when working, but I'm wondering what settings to adjust/turn-on to get it working in the first place. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but it just isn't working for me!
Thanks in advance!

Also, I am on my PC and in the Play Market -- I am trying to install apps from the market place and it's not downloading from the play store on the tablet. I hope I didn't confuse you, lol.

Hi xda-community,
I would like to share my first (and extremly simple ) Xposed module with you.
This module allows you to slide before you have to draw/type in your security pattern/pin/whatever. It is particularly useful if you use CyanogenMod (or other ROMs, that allow App shortcuts in lockscreens) and want to use both shortcuts AND a security pattern/pin/whatever. It works similiar to HTC's Sense UI (3.x).
ROMs modified by manufacturers are known to have issues with this module (see below).
Code:
You install and use this module at your own risk!
I am not responsible for any damage it might cause to your beloved device!
Please note, that there is a sad bug present by using App shortcuts (in CM etc.) in lockscreen, which decreases the usability: You have to "unlock" your device with your pattern/pin/whatever twice. If you just unlock you don't have to do it twice. Therefore I rate this module as alpha. I would be very happy if someone has a solution to this problem .
Supported ROMs
TESTED and CONFIRMED WORKING:
AOSP:
- 4.3 (JellyBean)
- 4.4 (KitKat)
AOSP based:
- CM 10.2 (JellyBean 4.3)
Stock/OEM ROMs:
- Asus: 4.2 (JellyBean)
- Sony Xperia: 4.2 (JellyBean) - 4.4 (KitKat)
Should work on:
- 4.2+ (JellyBean) (lockscreen has been overhauled in 4.2, therefore no <= 4.1)
- 4.4 (KitKat)
- all AOSP based ROMs (CM, AOKP, Para, etc.) with Android 4.2+
Unsupported/problematic ROMs
ROMs modified by manufacturers are known to have issues with this module:
Samsung (TouchWiz):
- 4.2/4.3: simply does not work
- 4.4: has less issues, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51980630&postcount=52
Credits
@rovo89 Your framework is amazing!
Known bugs
- Using app shortcuts causes you to "unlock" your device twice (see above)
- App shortcut to browser does not work (needs confirmation..)
How to use
1. Install Xposed framework as described here
2. Download and install XLockSecuritySlide via Xposed Installer (or see below)
3. Enable XLockSecuritySlide in Xposed Installer
4. Reboot and enjoy!
HELP ME!
If something went wrong (e. g. unlockable device) you can use the flashable Xposed recovery disabler ZIP (see attachment of that post!), which disables Xposed and therefore this module. After that you can safely disable/uninstall this module and re-enable Xposed again!

I don't know it exactly, but I think it could work if Samsung hasn't heavily customized the lockscreen code. I do not have a way to test it out, so I would appreciate you testing it
Tested on Validus13 KK.....no go. Thanks for the work and sharing with the rest of us

Well thats really sad... The problem is, that I do not have a Samsung device to test it out. Moreover it requires some work because TW is closed source. I will look at this, if I have enough time!
@Stevolk bro It is working fine:good: in my Xperia ZR running Stock 4.3 Jelly bean. but there is a small bug . The Xperia swipe screen is fine, but the pattern screen becomes black, I approximately need to draw the pattern in order to unlock the screen. But when I enable AOSP lockscreen using GEM Xposed module, both AOSP lock screen & pattern lockscreen is working fine :victory:. Thanks for you work. Screens attached for your info
Sorry for my bad English:angel:
Omg, thanks you so much , finaly someone made it, was missing this feature since gb !
(Nexus 4, 4.4.2)
Great module, works as expected on my HTC One X+ with CM11 android 4.4.2 but after switching to an other security while the module was active (from password to pin in my case) the phone soft rebooted upon sliding the slider again.

Hm.. it seems, that my module isn't compatible with OEM customized lockscreens, TouchWiz does also have issues. I updated the first post with this information.
If I have time, I'll have a look but it has low priority.

I was annoyed, that no module existed with this functionality so I made one myself The only thing that isn't working correctly (except from compatibility with non-AOSP lockscreens like TouchWiz) is the double answering of security method if you use app shortcuts.

Hm.. that is strange. I cannot reproduce this in AOSP 4.4.2 so far. Does it soft-reboot only one time after you switched the method or multiple times? Could you attach a logcat maybe?
0.2 does not work on LG Optimus G, stock 4.1.2 (bummer!), but works perfectly on Asus Memo Pad HD 7, stock 4.2.2 (yay!). Thanks a lot for this! Have been missing this feature since Disaster ROM on my previous SGS2...

Thanks for your feedback!
Any Android version below 4.2 is not supported because the lockscreen code has been heavily restructured in 4.2
Finally a stock ROM that works! :good:

Ahh, OK, I should have read the OP more carefully... Makes sense. Thanks!

I can only guess that's because Asus didn't make a lot of customizations to the vanilla Android -- some, but not much... For example, TouchWiz or Sense are way more heavily customized in every aspect. I can say that other Xposed modules that are originally designed for AOSP ROMs actually work much better on my Asus tablet than on other devices, like Samsung or LG (I am talking about stock ROMs).
Okay..big bug spotted
After swiping to get the pin/password/whatever if you hit the back button the security screen just disappears and the device is unlocked making the lock actually useless as it gets bypassed..
Can anyone else confirm this?
If so.. Dev please try to fix it ASAP

On my tablet, the on-screen Back button doesn't activate until the device is actually unlocked, so, no bug for me (can't bypass the lock screen). Could be different with hardware nav buttons...
Okay so apparently only the people with hardware buttons may see this happen

I found that happening on mine when I swiped across the camera then hit back to get out of it but I just tried swiping to get the pin then hitting back and it is unlocking like yours is. I'm on a Note 3 on 4.4.2.
thanks a lot for this
suggestion :-
when we slide then the secured lock comes in a box [See Screenshot 1]..can it be made to come in normal way [See Screenshot 2]
