[MOD] Screen Tweaks - Xposed Framework Modules

Requires Xposed Framework!
Hey guys,
this is the first project I'm sharing on here, so be gentle
After stumbling across the Xposed framework one or two ideas came to mind and I made a module out of them:
Hide the "Swipe to unlock" text from the lock screen on my Xperia Z1c
Enable the CRT off animation
Prevent the screen from turning on when unplugged from the charger
The first two things work nicely on my Xperia Z1c, the third however I could not get to work.
APK and source for the first version are attached.
I don't know if this is of much use for anyone else, but I would be glad if someone could help with the third option.
Update v2:
The third option works now, the new version 2 is attached.
If activated, the screen will not turn on when connected to (or disconnected from) either charger or dock.
Update v3:
I uploaded a new version (attached) which adds the following options:
Hide the camera icon on the lock screen
Hide the carrier label on the lock screen of some Xperia devices
Hide the sparkles effect on the lock screen of some Xperia devices
Update v4:
I uploaded a new version which adds an option for disabling the analog clock face above the list of alarms on some Xperia devices.
Update v5beta2:
The new version adds preliminary support for Lollipop (untested).
You're welcome to try it and give feedback.
The module can also be found on the Xposed repo: http://repo.xposed.info/module/net.feichti.screentweaks

You say the "disable screen on on unplug" doesn't work, I haven't had a chance to check yet, but I've looked at your code an found the following
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as i can see on line 56 on ScreenTweaks.java, you are getting a value as a string from pref and checking if it equals "on" or "off". Why not just save a boolean?
secondly, line 39
mPrefs = new XSharedPreferences(MY_PACKAGE_NAME);
Don't you need the file name as well? Again, sorry if I am wrong about this
Otherwise, sounds like a great mod, will try it now

Hey hamzahrmalik, thanks for your reply.
The setting on line 56 is for the CRT animation, and it's that way so I can select to not do anything (don't change system default).
The other thing is correct, because I want the default shared preferences for the module package.

Well, looks like I was looking in the wrong place.
The setting for not turning on the screen works just fine if I connect a charger, but I was always testing it with the dock, which is something different.
Dock aware don't-turn-on coming soon...

thanks for work
any chance to disable the "stars effect" under the finger while unlocking?
maybe also remove the camera icon?

I have tried this on xperia z1 and it does not work

Dear Pezo,
Thank for the work, the crt-off works perfectly on my Xperia Z1c and it looks very nice!
The first option doesn't count for me because i dont use a lockscreen. The third i wil test later today and report the result.
:good:

I have also thought about removing the camera icon, I will look into it the next few days.
About the stars effect, I rather like it, but maybe I will look into that as well.

Oh well, I was just looking for your ROM and it seems it doesn't exist any more...
Could you send your Xposed log, maybe I can fix some features for you.

hi!
just tested, works flawlessly!!! thank you very much man!
i love my new lock screen

I think there is a bug on disable screen sparkles. After activate the sparkles gone forever, also after uncheck or deinstalling the mod - the Sparkles never come back! Anyone can confirm that?

I deactivated this option and I have the sparkles...

yes… restarted, deactivated the Mod and also completly deinstalled… no sparkles anymore…. using monx kitkat rom (sony stock based). Any Suggestion?

I have no idea, but it can't really be my module, since I don't change any persistent settings.
Just to make sure, you did restart your phone AFTER deactivating the module, right?

Okay...thanks anyway for your mod/help!
Tryed clean install on "PureStock" and here its working flawless! Returned to clean "Monx" and it happens again, maybe its rom releated! :fingers-crossed:

Does hiding the camera icon also disable the swipe camera shortcut from lockscreen?

@FemBlack thanks for this module. Very useful for me.
Running this on note 3 modified stock rom.
I need this module as the exchange setting that i use forces me to use a pin lock .
This app is able to overcome it and I can toggle it when I leave home.
Suggestions / Requests
1- Ability to toggle between pin lock and no lock screen ( including no slide to lock )
2- Ability to add other triggers like nfc or wifi to do the toggle. May be add as a pro version .
Thanks
I'm afraid the module description is not very clear. And apparently is doesn't work for me on my Moto X, or maybe i'm just not understanding how to set it up. :cyclops:
In lg optimus l3 with ics 4.0.4 it worked after the reboot and then stopped and it worked only after reboot my phone but only for one time

Using this mod seems to have disabled access to the status bar in the lockscreen even when I have slide to lock enabled. Is this intended or is it a bug? Could you please look into it? Thanks for the great module!

Thanks for this module. :good:
I have Tasker toggle between pin / slide when connected to home wifi. Sometimes I would like to temporarily disable my pin and Shaky will do that. My concern would be that I would forget to shake again to make pin active, maybe on break at work and someone needs something while I have shaken to disable my secure pin, and I place phone in pocket, and forget to shake again.
Is it possible to have a timer and a default secure state defined in the module? Maybe have a countdown time that Shaky will toggle back to a default security, i.e., in xx minutes it toggles to pin lock after I shake to toggle pin off.
The other thought is to have a simple status bar indicator of state, such as a dot on/off so the user understands but it will not alert someone who might pick your phone?
Thanks for your work.
When the screen is open:
the application locks the phone and turning off the monitor by making a vibrating.
When the display is closed:
It only makes vibrating.
the module would have to do something else or do something wrong;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: all ok, just understand what the application does.

Shake has to be really hard, but it works on my Sprint Galaxy S3 on 4.4.2

[Q] Disable lockscreen?

Now that we have root, does someone know how to disable the lockscreen? Not the ads, just the lockscreen itself.
I remember looking for a method back when we first had root and not finding one...

Well, here are some thing you can try, guys:
1. if you are on 8.9 HDX, you can install Apollo Gapps 1.2 ROM, there is switch in the settings (classic android switch) - I am using this right now
2. try to install and run this app (No Lock):
No Lock - warning - probably not working correctly - reported here
References, credits, etc:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896354
P.S. I did test the app on Apollo Gapps ROM 1.2 (8.9 HDX), and it was working as expected...
Thanks for the tip on No Lock. Installed and it works great here.

Well, if you want, you can try this one (no graphic glitches for me so far (testing for cca 3 hour randomly turning screen on and off) - still on Apollo Gapps 1.2):
No lock screen
Thanks ill give it a try. But it looks like it works the same way. And I guess when the notification is missing is when the glitches start...
Also looks like it breaks the magnetic switch, like no lock. So screen doesn't turn on when opening case.

Process Android Core UI stopped working?!

Hey guys,
As my title says, I keep getting that message quite often! Sometimes 2 times a day and it messes my wallpaper up. When I hit the recents menu and clear it enough times, the UI "reboots" or redraws itself and I have to enter my knockcode (using Xposed) and reset my wallpaper. Anyone here know what could be causing this? I can provide a list of Xposed modules that I use if that might be the case. I also use Nova prime (latest version).
Please can someone help pinpoint this problem or message me if you have found a solution? It annoys me to no end!
Thanks!

as u said only customization that can effect System itself (and exactly UI) is that module.
if u say more if u install something with root access it may help to figure out exact issue...

Hey! Yeah I use the following modules:
20MP superior auto
Advanced power menu
App settings
Gesture navigation
Gravity Box
Holo themer
Keepchat
Knock code (have a feeling its this one)
Snapchat full caption
Snapshare
Xperia Xposed (KK)
Xposed DTN Disabler
YouTube adaway
I also use Adaway itself and have an Android L theme (from the cross development section)
If I had to guess, I would put it down to either knockcode, App settings or Xperia Xposed (KK) or MAYBEA gravity box!
What do you use?

I have the following matching ones...

But the ones marked * I installed since having the error message so probably not them. Also I did disable Xperia Xposed for a few days to see if it was this and still got error.
I'm going to back your choice that it's the Knock Code module. I'll disable for a few days and see how it goes.

Hey Darren, thank you for your reply. Sorry, I have been extremely busy with work.
Yeah I do get the feeling it's knockcode but I've just had the message come up now when I hit the recents menu and I was already using the phone. Do you think it could be the xperia Xposed (KK) module? I'm not even sure what the hell I'm using it for to be honest.
Let me know your findings on knock code. If it is that, I'll be sure to disable it and report the bug to the developer or to the dedicated thread on XDA.
Cheers! :highfive:

If I had to put it down to something I would say Gravity box or Xposed xperia although at this point it could be anything! I'm running catlog in the back as often as I can in order to catch the process actually stopping. Think this will pinpoint what causes it?
It is gravity box I think...

Could potentially be it! I had the nav bar tweak on where my navbar was a different colour. The process only stops working when I hit the recents menu so it might be that the UI isn't refreshing properly or something. I've disabled it anyway, let's see how that goes.

I did try with that mod off but I'm going to uninstall for a bit and see what happens.
I've tried taking gravity box off and uninstalled it too but the process still stops although the wallpaper doesn't mess up anymore. The ui just redraws and takes me to my lock screen (knockcode) which I then enter and everything is fine. I have a feeling it may actually be knockcode. Might turn that off now and see what happens.

If yiu are using a different wallpaper for your lock screen, then change it to the same one as your home screen. I did that and no more messed wallpaper or android process force close for the past few days. The option is in the personalization section I think

This is the correct answer. Since I last posted, I had turned off Knock code and that is exactly what was causing the process to end. I now have a pin entry and so far I have had no problems with the wallpaper corrupting or the android.core.UI process not working. I hope this helps anyone else who has this problem; turn knock code OFF if it happens to you. :highfive:
Reflashed phone a few weeks ago and stopped using Knock Code mod then. Not had the error since so yep it's definitely that. Shame as I really like the mode

Lock Screen

hi! I come from a nexus 4 and I don't quiet like the Sony lock screen.. is there a way of changing it with a stock android one?
I kinda second this.
While there are numerous apps that act as lockscreen replacements, none of them actually do the job well. The one that comes closest to pure AOSP is Holo Locker (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobint.locker), but it's closer to ICS than it is to KitKat.
'Tis a shame since Sony's UI can actually be made to resemble AOSP, except for the single most seen screen on the phone -- the lockscreen (even the wallpaper can only be a static image ffs).

If you are on rooted your device then just delete the lockscreen apk and odex file from /system/app folder. now you are on stock lock screen.
I was looking for a way without using root.. I prefer wait for a root that doesn't lose DRM Keys..

If you don't use Pin or Pattern protection you can try disabling the lockscreen alltogether. The wallpaper thing was annoying me also. I've turned the thing off, works just fine to me.

I do prefer having a swipe lockscreen of some sort to place a widget (such as CLock) to be able to see things with a single push of a button, without really unlocking. Sony's way of doing lockscreens is just absurd, especially the way you can't set the background to match your homescreen. And those sparkles, ugh, don't even get me started.
Xperia Xposed let my live wallpaper show on lock screen
Tried many Xposed Xperia modules, all of them got me a bootloop.

The Keyguard.apk is the AOSP one so don't delete that, look for XperiaLockScreen.apk in the app folder and delete that.

I swear there is no XperiaLockScreen in there. And no, I didn't delete it, else I'd leave an .odex behind. Despite it missing, it's still working perfectly. Or, rather, as Sony intended it to work (which is, for me, far from perfect).
(See the attachment if you don't believe me -- I always leave .odex behind when I delete system apps just in case something goes wrong and I have to restore it from an earlier backup)
I absolutely love ACDisplay, similar to the motorola lock screen, and I really like the minimalist approach. I set it to show my background instead of the black screen and I think it looks great in combination with Tapet wallpaper app.

Can AcDisplay be set as the lockscreen (that is, can it be set to show itself even when there are no notifications)?
Having it wake up the screen will probably drain the battery as well, so unless there's a way to basically set it to act as a normal lockscreen, I'd avoid it.

Attach that XTP.apk or have a look at the res folders for any images that show what it might be for, they may have renamed it, or changed the way the Keyguard.apk works.

The XTP one is pretty much empty, no res folder, just the manifest and meta-inf. The keyguard is interesting though -- this is Sony's lockscreen!
Any chance replacing this with an older Xperia's Keyguard would work?
And to answer my own previous question -- AcDisplay can be made into the lockscreen. A damn good one, too, though I'd still like a system app.

They always have to make things that little bit more difficult it seems. You could try the old one for nothing, the attached one is a deodexed one from Z1C 157, can you attach yours, I'd like a look at that.

Can AcDisplay be set as the lockscreen (that is, can it be set to show itself even when there are no notifications)?
Having it wake up the screen will probably drain the battery as well, so unless there's a way to basically set it to act as a normal lockscreen, I'd avoid it.

Yes you can set it to be as a normal lock screen. It works great, especially with double tap --> double tap to wake up (check clock or notifications) and again double tap to turn off the screen.
You can also set that notifications don't wake up the phone.

Thanks, I tried but it didn't work. For some reason, the status bar and navigation bar were disabled though. I'll post a link (or PM you) once I find a few minutes off.

Installed last night, works like a charm. Nice to see it's an Xposed module as well
Though I really do prefer KitKat's AOSP feel to this (WHERE IS CM11 DAMMIT).
Don't see a lot of Slovenes here -- hi! o/

I tried the Z3C on mine and the SystemUI crashed at startup so had to flash my backup, but at least thats a hint as to how to possibly make it work.

[APP] Second Screen Status Bar

NOTE: ALPHA PHASE HAS FINISHED.
If anyone wants to continue using this app which is going to be pro only for the moment, contact me (tg group and channel)
THIS PROJECT IS BEING UPDATED AND SUPPORTED AND I DON'T PLAN TO ABANDON IT.
If you ever wanted to have a working status bar in the second screen in a stock ROM, this is the thread you were looking for.
I have coded a widget for the second screen that replaces what the stock status bar does (and even more perhaps).
It has been months of coding.
As always, you have to install the app and open second screen settings and enable the widget.
If you want to hide the status bar, there are several ways. I do it using an xposed app to change status bar height. If you don't want to use xposed, you will have to go the long way of modding system. I may do it some day when I finish coding but there is a lot of stuff in my to-do list.
Don't forget to use the settings option to set some of the available features in this release.
If you find any bugs, I will need a log (logcat) with both log settings enabled. I will try to fix any bugs.
Check the attached screenshots!

Thanks for the app, but it won't install on my V20 (F800K, Oreo 8.0).
It shows "App not installed" at the end of the APK install.

Haven't been tested on the F800K but pm me and I'll try to build something for you
On ls997 7.0. Colors are not changing as set, even after reboots
Have you tried using "adb shell wm overscan" to hide the status bar?
Eg.
wm overscan 0,-100,0,0

I have not been trying much how to hide the status bar as I need time to code the app but afaik that can't be done because it will mess full screen apps (and maybe the notifications pull down because it's not drawn below the status bar but over it). Let me know if I'm wrong or if you know how to make it work correctly. Thanks
If you use any app that changes its notification icon, like a battery meter app, speedmeter app, weather app, etc, you will see the icon does not get updated. This is because I tried to optimize everything as much as possible so the app is coded to get the icon just once. The PRO version, if it ever gets to be released (depending on the interest of the users), will have some code to handle those apps which very little battery drain (which actually depends on how buggy or optimized is the notification posting from the app).
In the tg channel there is a video showing it.
@Daved+ tested works fine, thanks for this. I'm glad that it doesn't go away suddenly like previous solutions. I'm interested in buying pro version, jus need to figure out a way to disable the status bar without going the Xposed way. Tried Nova launcher hide option, it takes away the second screen as well, so no luck yet.
Edit: quote op correctly
Working great on my unlocked US996.
Would love to have single line height rather than stacked. Too cluttered with two lines of icons for my taste.
Thanks!

AFAIK you have to patch system to change the height of the status bar (you have to use apktool to decompile and compile).
Join the group on tg if you can for further discussion

Great to hear it works in different models. I can do other layouts, I have several ideas, this one was to use the second screen as much as possible to make the screen look bigger so no empty spaces in the corners. If you want, let me know your ideas, but I also need support to continue development.
I don't seem to be getting all of my notifications. Things like facebook messenger dont show up.
Spelling mistake on : Only show top 6,Hide headphones if HIFI is on.
How much is paid version?

If you are having any problems with notifications, contact me thru pm or three dot menu in the app. Also please do the same for the paid version.
For those who wanted just a single line of notifications

How do I get this? I installed the apk in the OP, but I don't see this option. Under the "notifications" section, it has "Show" and then "Only show top 6".

It's a feature I coded after the alpha I published here.

I still don't have a number as I don't know how many people will buy it but for the moment you can donate and get the beta pro version.
Think there's a way to replace the default screen Date & Time Screen-Off Widget with yours when the main screen is off?
In the past, I have resorted to using battery percentage apps to get realtime charge levels during screen-off. I'd love to streamline that, using your app; which clearly has the potential to replace the default widgets.
