Some app system app port guidance - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Me and a friend are trying to port a system app from the same phone but two different roms. Here's the situation. The phone is zopo zp998 and it comes with regular Android 4.2.2. Zopo is making the exact same phone for the Chinese market with on OS based on Android 4.2.2 that's called YunOS and it doesn't have Google account support so it's not usable outside China.
The YunOS has a black screen gesture feature that you can activate in the settings under display and then while the screen is Black you can make symbols on it with your finger and open specific apps. For instance if you draw the letter C the dialer will open.
Here's where we'd like the help. My friend was able to find the system app for the gestures in YunOS and all its library files and put it in his rom. When the phone boots we can see that the gestures service is running fine but we don't have the option in the settings to activate the app. Is there a guide we can use on how to transfer a system setting and app like this? Is there another app we can use to trigger the on and off of the app? I am not so advanced to figure this out by myself. All help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Slekkas, just an idea which might help:
Do you see "settings->advanced settings->Superuser" in your menu? This entry does not work at all and is useless, but the switch is there. If you can locate the adress of this "Superuser" entry in ROM then you can alter it (without really knowing how it works ). Exchange "Superuser" with "Black-SCR" and you got what you search for: A switch you can use. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately not... I've asked at least at 5 different forums but no one is willing to help. I feel invisible.

I've copied the file :
Gesture in /sys/devices/virtual/input/input3/
Libgesture3Dvstar.so in/system/lib/
Yunos_gestureSetting.apk in /system/app/
and it did nothing...how did you seen that gestures are ok on boot?
On 998 gestures are for sliding in app. There is an apk for active in setting.I think we had to take this apk for active blackscreen gesture, but it is integrated in settings...
no means to port yunos setting on 998...
(sorry for my bad english)
Actually i stay on yunos rom for try and try....
I'm not competent enough but Some developpers are working on it...(Fluffy...)

I worked along with fluffy on this but yunos is very complicated. It has to do something with the smali files

no further investigations here ?

Google Auto Complete doesnt 'complete'

Hey guys, did a quick Google search on this and didnt see any answers to this bizarre quirk.
I am on non-rooted ICS (stock) - no comments from the peanut gallery about this. Once CM is stable enough that I feel I can use it, Ill switch.
Now, on to the problem.
I installed Chrome and set it to the default browser (but Ill probably change it considering what Im about to post) and set the home page to google.
I begin typing a search query, for example, 'Samsung AT&T No' and Google presents some suggestions of what it thinks Im going to actually search for. Tapping ANY of these suggestions hides the suggestion list and does NOT fill in my query with the suggestion I tapped. In addition, the keyboard is also hidden until I tap in the query edit field again.
In addition, Id like to just state for the record, xda is TERRIBLE on mobile (the website). I dont know what this new 'theme' is but it is barely functional on mobile, on the desktop, the website is completely broken in Firefox (14.0.1 w/ No Script and Tree Style Tabs plugins installed - and yes, I am enabling scripting for XDA).
So, I have reverted to the old xda theme until this is fixed.
BUT, does anyone know what is wrong with Chrome?
Is Chrome out of beta?
if you click the arrow next to the auto complete search query it will fill it in for you.

Yeah I was having this same issue. I am rooted and using the stock browser, same goes for the google search widget. But the answer above solves the problem.

[MOD][XPOSED] LockDown - Control phone access based on PIN entered

LockDown - XPOSED​
LockDown is a security module for Xposed.
It allows you to add multiple PINs to unlock your phone. Every PIN is a profile and you can restrict certain apps from launching when using a certain profile. You can even choose to hide the apps from the drawer completely so the user will not know if they are locked out.
There is a free version for testing before you purchase the full module. Please verify it works before making a purchase.
Features
Add PINs that can unlock your device
Lock apps from launching depending on PIN entered
Hide apps from the phone completely while profile is active
Compatibility
Works with most ROMs that are similar to AOSP. Will NOT work with the following:
Heavily modified ROMs
Any lockscreen with quick unlock enabled
Troubleshooting
How do I launch the app?
To launch Lock Down for the first time call *#*#54321 from your phone app. This is the default launch key. It is recommended you change this key after opening Lock Down.
Dialing the PIN won't launch the app
Make sure you have a PIN set in your system settings already. LockDown can only be launched when the phone has been unlocked via the system PIN.
Reinstall the module and reboot your phone.
If you are still unable to launch the app please post your xposed log and a detailed summary of exactly what you did to try to launch the app.
The free version works but the paid version does not.
This is due to Android putting paid apps in /mnt/asec/ instead of /data/app/ where xposed can properly load them. Until there is an official fix for this you can install XMOD which will move apps from /mnt/asec/ to /data/app/. To use it, simply install the XMOD and then install LockDown. XMOD can be removed after LockDown has been installed.

I plan on adding Gingerbread support soon. Only reason that it is not in this release is because I don't know where xposed for GB currently stands. If it is stable enough I will gladly add support for it!
Now just to get a phone that runs GB.....
Any ideas for troubleshooting other than the ones you have listed on the play store page? I made sure all my lockscreen settings were back to default and rebooted but dialing *12345 just takes me to voicemail still.

That is very strange. I have tested it myself on a Nexus 4 running KitKat and it works. Try this:
1. Disable all xposed modules including lockdown
2. Make sure you have a PIN set via system settings
3. Restart phone
4. Enable lockdown
5. Restart phone
6. Unlock phone using the PIN you set in the system settings
7. Dial *#*#54321 and call it
cool, gonna try it
btw can it set to change the settings in different profile?

Not yet but that is coming for sure. I have planned for that and a few other features I'm really excited about! Stay tuned
EDIT: Also please feel free to suggest any settings you have in mind specifically. I cannot make this into a DevDB yet so I can take requests here but as soon as I hit the minimum post count I will convert this thread. (Really should have joined xda sooner eh?)

Yes I am working on it. It is quite tricky so it is a few updates away, but I am working on it.

Thanks for this MOD and especially for integrating Tasker support. I imagine it would be even more awesome to set different PINs/profiles based on the particular WiFi that the phone is connected to by MAC address
I locked one app, well, but nos i want see my app. How i can enter un my app?dialer doesnt work for lockdown. Thanks
Doesn't work for me.. Whenever I dial *#*#54321, it just dials that number. Samsung Galaxy S3. Official 4.3.

One question, what do you mean by, when you say "make sure you do not have quick unlock or similar feature enabled"?? What is quick unlock feature ??
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
confused
same issue i hide my apps now i am unable to access them and ... i uninstalled lockdown but my apps are still hidden ..
anyway dev its a gud concept
Can you please make the app accessible by a normal icon? The dialer doesn't seem to be working for me... im on SlimKat 3.0 gs3 VZW. I could see that you made it accessible through the dialer so another user can't change the settings but we can always just restrict the lockdown app from opening in a profile if it is accessible by a normal icon

How to use Mode Key when Creating an app

Hello Guys.
Hope i'm in the right forum now.
I'll write a app to let people switch between every app the like to with the mode key on the SWC. The difference between the app that is alraedy there is that i want to do it with an graphic interface like it is on the Parrot Asteroid Smart.
https://youtu.be/SHipM8Nm0yo?t=8m30s
I have a little experience in wirting Android apps, so the app itzelf won't be a big problem i think.
The big question for me: Show can i recocnize if the mode key is pushed or not?
Anybody ideas?
Already thanks
Regards Christoph

Decompile Xposed MTC modules around here or even Car Service app (RK3066 Car Service or somethinh on Google Play). Or contact developer. He may help you.
BTW I think having simple app with UI would be great thing. I really dont like these *.ini files for Xposed modules where you never know what you are doing.

I am using MTC keys module to overtake the function of the mode switch in my app ( modeswitch). I didn't manage to do it without this module. I manage to recognise the button presses without xposed, but the " original action" will launch anyway parallel to the "modified" one, leading in a mess! Since xposed doesn't work in the "hybrid 5.1.1" ROM until now, that limits the possibilities.
I have also in plans for a graphic interface, but there are a few thinks to concern: eg how to navigate between the options when you show the graphic interface.
If someone find/share how to intercept the buttons commands without xposed and "on the fly", it would be easier to set everything up.
I still use kitkat so its no problem.
On the parrot you press mode as far as the app you like is selected. If you don't press the key after eg 2 seconds the selected app will be started.
That's a little bit what I want. But with any app I want, so I can simple change between music, navi ...

Thanks,
[email protected]
can you please provide an option to have middle mouse click zone. that would be really useful
This is for the Windows version? I would love this for the Android version. Thanks.
Does this software have a home page? Where are you getting it from?
The scroll direction settng doesn't work! :crying:
It's so frustrating that there's no way to change it...
yes scroll direction cannot be changed, this is so annoying!

Question Overcome notifications problem by mirroring from another phone?

Seems ridiculous to have to do this, but what if you had another, cheap phone and you use an app like Bridge to mirror the notifications across to the Find N - that way you'd only need to allow notifications for Bridge (by setting it to auto-start, for example), and not be limited to the 5 recents apps and 5 auto-start apps workaround...?
Have this working pretty well, for notifications that I don't really need to interact with. Am using 'Pushover' with Tasker.
Hi @lombrozo can you help me with this push notifications , I know some apps have AutoStart but Find N has 5 "not recommended" apps to auto start how set more than 5?

5 maximum I'm afraid.
I have another Android device that I use Pushover with to help, but it's not an ideal solution.

You're dreaming, I don't know if there will be a global release, but unless you can root your phone you can forget about flashing a global ROM on it....
