Introduction:
Sequence unlock is an Xposed module which allows you to unlock your phone with a sequence of volume keys (Example: U U D ).
With this module you can unlock your phone in a simple and nifty way and avoid using the default android lockscreen altogether.
You will need to set up a sequence of your choice in the module settings. The default sequence is: U U U
Features include:
Unlock device even when the screen is off.
Disable default wake buttons (Power button, home button etc.)
Bypass the android screenlock
Compatibilty:
This app is compatible with 4.1+ AOSPish devices only (excluding lollipop).
Tested devices:
Sony Xperia 4.2
Samsung Galaxy S3 4.4 (CM11)
BUGS:
Sequence Unlock is currently not compatible with the Physical button music control module.
Download:
Note: I had to change the package name to differentiate the module from it's PRO version. Sorry for the inconvenience.
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.mb14.sequenceunlock.lite
PRO version:
You can buy the PRO version available on Google Playstore to support development (Being a college kid, I don't earn much).
It comes with extra features like:
Set sequence timeout interval
Vibrate on failed unlock attempt

You don't need to wake up the device to unlock. You can enter the sequence even when the screen is off
You will be my saviour!!!
my so called college sometime checks whether the device is in switch off mode or not...
this module will help me to set a pattern to wake !!!!
YAY!!! Hell Yeah
What happens when you're playing a song? Can you still unlock?

You can unlock the phone even if music is playing in the background. But the keys pressed will affect the volume of your music app.
So it isn't compatible with Lollipop yet? Is it?

not working on Xperia Z stock 4.4.4
Bn 292. Only turns screen on, no unlock. Also not compatible with "physical button music control" module (sequence module only works with that module disabled)

Almost every phone has the physical button music control, poweramp integrated that aww man.
Did you try it? He's talking about the xposed module "physical button music control". So chances are it works with music players that use these controls.

I've fixed the lockscreen unlocking bug in version 1.4. As for the incompatibility with the Physical button music control module, I'll try fixing the bug and release an update as soon as possible.
Working like a charm with MT6572 phone :good:. Every function is working great (including unlock from deep sleep)! This is some cheap non-branded china phone with Android 4.2 just for you to know.
Edit: It is also working with Galaxy Gio (s5660) on CM11 (Android 4.4.4). (Including unlock from deep sleep).

Awesome I'll test it and report any found bugs. Physical button music ctrl Module doesnt have mapping over single volume button click, yet it somehow breaks functionality as it follows - when phone is in dock - volume buttons act as Wake trigger (only when docked - native behaviour) but with that module nothing happens on vol but. press. And while Phys. but. M Ctrl was activated, Sequence Unlock wasn't functional. If you need any logs or feedback let me know.

Update on 1.4.
With bypass option, module now unlocks the screen - Xperia Z stock rom A 4.4.4 bn 292 Odexed.
Yet it only unlocks if the screen is ON - courtesy of PBMC module. I also tried playing with the settings and mappings of PBMC but no success. The issue lies in the Capture Mode - If Screen off + Lockscreen selected, - then Sequence module will not work at all. If Screen Off only, then Sequence U. will work with screen ON + lockscreen. So issue is in PBMC and its button capture mode (even if no custom option is set for volume up/down click)
would be great if you will add features such as, long press for flashlight or camera, sequence for open specific apps...
other than that, great module, keep it coming..
working great on note 2..rom dn4 :good::good:
edit : its only working right after i lock the phone...not working after phone deep sleep..
I like the idea. Will be waiting for Lollipop support.

Hi everybody.
I've just installed WIDGET LOCKER and I find it a very cool app.
But I've a problem: I've enabled the EASY WAKE UP mode, but it doesn't work......in fact I've always to use the button on the top of the cell, while the volume buttons or the trackball don't do the same (wake up the screen): why? It's a very helpful feature and I'd like to use it. I've a Htc Wildfire Buzz.
Hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance.
I seem to have the same problem aswell (just tried it but I dont really like using volume buttons to unlock, although I can and like to use trackball to wake (Menu > Settings > Buttons & Inputs > 'Tick' Trackball Unlock). What version do you have?

The trackball works to unlock, but not to wake up the screen.
Anyway it's a problem of our phone, as told me by the developer of the app.
Ciauz.
Perhaps there is not (hardware) support for that. i had the same wish to do the same. there is a cool app called Tap Tap and it's using proximity sensor to on screen and off.

This version of Widget works well on Android 2.1 but it can't with android 2.2 or 2.2.1. It used to be very good on my wildfire 2.1 but I have the same problem with my 2.2.1 OTA. I think Widgetlocker still doesn't fully support android 2.2.1
In cyanogenmod 7 the trackball wake function works good. But there is another nice app. It wake and unlock the wildfire by the proximity sensor. Just hold your finger on the right side of the HTC logo to turn off and on the device. I am testing it now and it works very good. The app is called proximity screen off

Proximity sensor solution with widgetlocker and tasker

Ok, I know this was from an old post, but I hadn't seen any mention of this functionality and thought I'd share.
I've found great success in running with widgetlocker completely disabled, then using tasker to lock the screen when power off via power button (but only when not on a phone call to avoid interference from prox sensor screen off in call) and unlocking widgetlocker only when the prox sensor is not engaged, after a 100ms pause.
It saves cpu cycles, as WL is not polling for screen off trigger (tasker is already running after all) and is extremely snappy in unlocking on my Note 2. Its also very good about detecting my pocket, as the prox sensor on the note 2 can be set to poll when the screen is off, something not available on my older phone. I had it pretty dialed in on my previous phone, a 1st generation sgs epic 4g running cm10, despite some sluggishness due to lack of system resources, especially onboard storage space.
Obviously, everyone will have their own take on lockscreens. I'm the type of user who just wants the lockscreen out of my way. Aside from the phantom media widget which appears/disappears when the music starts/stops, I am not much for widgets on my lockscreen. When I first purchased, I really just wanted a method of avoiding having to slide to unlock, as that seems like a wasted gesture. I originally set out to solve the prox sensor unlock solution on android with the old windows mobile app pocketshield in mind as my paragon. If you are like me and just want the lockscreen gone without having to reach for it, but don't want to worry about pocket unlocks, then you'll be happy to hear that this setup with widgetlocker and tasker is an infinitely better and cleaner solution than pocketshield ever was.
Just my 2 cents.
Hello all Xperia Ultra lover I have tried and installed many exposed module and applications to get wake screen by volume keys without any success.
Even tried Keymapper to MOD default key configuration without any luck.:crying:.
Now just found really nice utility works with Exposed which wake the screen by volume buttons.
All credit goes to developer of this application. I am just sharing here so please thank him as well.
Using it since 4 days no any problem working like a charm.
You can download this module from here attached or you can download from download section of your xposed application.
After activating and rebooting just open application go to last menu other mod and activate volume screen wake reboot and you are done.:laugh::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Great find. But does it work with JB as in xposed repo it says some features dont work on JB.
Currently I am using Auto screen on which automatically wakes the screen when I open the flip cover. So even my vol buttons are not prone to wear and tear
Nevertheless will give this a try too.

Work in 4.4.2
Thank you for this tip. Working with 4.4.4
need root?
just install the latest apk and turn on the wake up function ..after rebbot..
still not work
(stock rom without root 4.4.4)
I'm wondering if there's a way (app or manual edit of system files) to make the hardware buttons less used to keep them from getting soft
and for that I'm mainly focusing on the power button as it is frequently used, I have two ideas:
- taking the gesture from the new M8 which is by double tapping the screen, if you're a developer please tell me if it's possible to take that function from the M8 maybe edit it and make it work on the One Max!
- We have a great special thing called fingerprint scanner, and since it's not that good at identifying the owner's fingerprint but always works at identifying fingerprints of people, maybe we can use it to wake up screen by simply swiping the finger over it!
So here is my question and here are my ideas, if you have a good answer for me please share it in the comments!
Thanks XDA!
Also looking for a way to do it, but in my case the reason is my power button stopped working and the only way to wake the device is by plugging a charger. What could I use else before having it fixed by service?
for switching off i use nova launcher with the app "screen off and lock"
DoubleTap on screen now the max going off. (i do this with all phones)
But switching on with doubleTap i always searching how it can work. I have
no idea
my understanding is that without a modded kernel, turning screen ON with touchscreen taps is a no go.
an alternate is to use something like the xposed sense 6 toolkit feature "wake screen with volume buttons". granted it still uses hardware buttons, but at least the power button wont have to take as much "abuse" anymore.
for turning screen off, sense 6 tookit offers gestures on the homescreen. i have mapped swipe down to screen off.
i vaguely remember reading about another xposed mod that can map double tap on status bar to screen off.
just my 2 cents!
edit: i m using another xposed mod called "sense 6 lockscreen mods" that enables double tap to screen off on the lockscreen.

Try WTN by Wolandsoft. Works perfect for me. I was looking for a way to turn on the phone in the car while driving. This works perfectly.

Try AutoScreenOnOff

Even better than WTN that I recommended. Just found this one last night. A lot smoother.
Experimental Module
This Xposed Module will prevent Phone Screen to sleep(lock) during phone call.
Proximity sensor will work as it is i.e. Display will go off when proximity sensor is covered but screen won't sleep
Especially useful when loudspeaker is on and "Power key ends call" Accessibility feature is turned on.
display wont go off thus accidental call termination can be avoided.
Note: First Xposed Module
to test this module set sleep time(in phone Settings -> Display) to 15 seconds or so and place a call, if screen doesn't sleep after defined seconds it worked
Download at Xposed Module Repository. repo.xposed.info / module / pkg.x7491.xposed.callscreenfix
Tested on various devices. if it does/doesn't work for you post your ROM and Device Details

works well on samsung device people is going to underestimate this module which i hope not
Unfortunately this module doesn't work on my Sony Xperia Z3 compact. Android 5.0.2
I feel like I'm really going to like this module !! But just a little thing : would it be possible to make it also force the screen to wake up when you receive a call ? Because (and I'm sure there is no option for this) whenever I receive a call, I must first push the power button in order to answer it (weird huh ?)...

on Android 5 you dont need this module
As far as i know if you have power key ends call feature enabled on Android 5 and screen sleeps, then when you first press power key it wakes up screen and second press ends call.

Strange never faced this issue on any of my device. Android automatically wakes screen when call is received. may be you are using a screen guard that may be covering proximity sensor

Yes nice idea, will this be possible ? I too sometimes have to push the power button then answer the call.
I'm not sure if this module aim to solve this problem
I receive a phone call, the phone call ends and my screen locks with pin number.
Why would it do that?
Anyway I read your description, it seems it solves another problem I never noticed.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 neo with kitkat 4.4.2
It is not keeping my screen on using Android 5.1.1. Still goes black when on call, supposed to stay on correct?

This module prevent normally your screen goes to sleep when you make a call with speaker. But with this module my screen goes off anyway when I make a call. And yes with pressing the powerkey you can turn on the screen again. That also worked on Android 4.3.

I also noticed this weird behaviour on my S4, 4.4.2. It would be very nice if this module could fix this "issue". Not sure either whether it's the case yet.

Please if you have some time, try to make it compatible with MIUI.

It works on latest ironrom
Probably only works on ROMs that support the fingerprint reader.
I think that app only works on Touchwiz roms. I use it on my Tab S and S6, both on Touchwiz.
2 features of this app (may require pro version?):
Long touch can do one of the following: camera, screen-off, Google Now, or home screen
When lock screen shown (before you input password/pattern/swipe to unlock), touch home button to turn off screen. Useful when you turn on screen to look at time only and want to turn off screen without pressing power button (reduce button use?) or letting screen timeout (save battery?)
The developer also has an app to double-knock/tap to turn screen on-or-off. I use it to turn-off the screen with a double-tap. Using it to turn-on screen consumes battery.
