Anyone know a way to disable tap-to-click on remix os for pc?
Im also looking to disable it. It's almost unusable on my laptop's touchpad.

Please add this feature.
You can disable the touch pad if you want to use a mouse

Thanks, but I want to use the touchpad without accidentaly clicking every two seconds.
Hate the tap-to-click feature, it's the first thing I disable after a clean install in every laptop.

You might try this:
First, you need to identify the name of the input device used by the system:
• Start root terminal by typing (Alt/F1), You will get a prompt with a #
• Type getevent and press <ENTER>
• You will see a long list of devices scroll by
• Press the device you wish to deactivate (for example, I touched the touch pad) and note the event number (in my example it is 13)
• Type Ctrl/c to stop and you will get a prompt with a #
• Type getevent again and look at the list displayed; Look for the event number that matches your device (NOT THE DEVICE NUMBER!)
• You will see under it the device name in quotes (for example "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad")
• Use the input device again to check you've found the right event number (my touchpad, for example, was 13)
• Press Ctrl/c again to stop
• At the prompt #, press Alt/F7 to exit the terminal Next, you need to modify the excluded-input-devices.xml file:
? In your root browser (I use SE File Explorer), navigate to root/system/etc/excluded-inputdevices.xml
• Open it with the native SE Text Editor; the file should end with something like this: <devices>
<device name="Power Button" />
</devices>
• Add your device between the top and bottom "</devices> as in my example for the touch pad
• Your modified file should end like this (again with my example): <devices>
<device name="Power Button" />
<device name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"/>
</devices>
• Save the file and reboot.
• Test after boot.

My Remix OS is not rooted. And rooting seems to need a reinstall. Don't really have the time right now.
I appreciate your help.

Thanks for your tip...I had thought it otherwise....Another help I want from you regarding disabling input devices....
I just installed RemixOS (April release) on my touch supported 11" Dell 3147. I had read it somewhere (tried to search for it but couldn't find it) that removing Power Button string will enable Power Button wake and lock just like in our Android Phones but removing it did not work on RemixOS...Also doesn't the device go in sleep (deep sleep as well) mode when not in use? I thought the Power Button tweak would achieve that functionality in our laptop..
thank you..

I have had no success in enabling the power button to sleep. I use Nova Launcher and the double tap to sleep works to initiate deep sleep.

I couldn't recover it from sleep.... The device restarted
Edit: device did go to sleep but not in deep sleep i guess... Battery drained about 4% in about10 mins... So guess it's only stand by mode rather than sleep mode... i think if I keep my device in screen of mode for longer time it fails to wake up and rather restart....

Some time has passed... Did anyone come up with a solution reg. the original post, i.e. disabling tap to click? The latter makes using Remix OS on my Laptop a real pain. Which is a shame, because otherwise it works really great.

Hi all,
i've installed the Tasker Trial (from the developer site) a few days ago on my SGS III (no root, using stock rom).
I want Tasker to disable my Lockscreen security when i'm at home. Recently i tried this setup:
Profile: Trusted Zone
State: Wifi Connected [ SSID:ssid1/ssid2 MAC:* IP:* ]
A1: Secure Settings [ Configuration:Clear Password/Wait For Unlock ]
Profile: Untrusted Zone
State: Not Wifi Connected [ SSID:ssid1/ssid2 MAC:* IP:* ]
Abort Existing Task
A1: Secure Settings [ Configuration:Set Pin ]
Click to expand...

I've tried nearly every setting i could imagine. With and without "Secure settings" plugin, pattern or pin on lockscreen, foregrund mode with notification icon or background without notification. Also i've registered Tasker and secure settings plugin as device admin in security settings.
My problem is, after setting up all necessary profiles and tasks everything seems to be fine, but after a while the display is locked even though i'm connected to my wifi at home. (yes, wifi is enabled all the time, even in lockscreen ;-) )
Also i've noticed that tasker sometimes displays a notification saying "Low memory". On SGS3? Realy?
I hope anyone could help me how to run tasker in a reliable way on sgs3.
Thanks in advance.
Hey man, sorry I can't help but I am running one task on my Spirit GS III.
My task is to connect to Wi-Fi according to the near cell tower.
Anyway, mine seems to be working just fine.

I dint think everything is perfect with tasker and ics. I think I red in the google groups about some things that may not function perfectly.
I have my lockscreen disabled when Bluetooth is connected in my car, and when it's connected to power. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sorry, that's the best I can offer you.

I've used tasker since my desire days. I had profiles that turn wifi on and off and go into silent mode etc.
The only profile that doesn't work for me is turning off the LED. In fact for me I haven't found anything that will turn off the LED

Thank you guys.
I've also searched the web.
Unfortunately, i think there is a problem with Tasker and ICS (especially with SGS3?).
Maybe there will be an update for tasker...
Does anyone of you knows an app which allows me to control the Lockscreen behaviour through Wifi status?

Give Delayed Lock a go, there's a free trial in the store. Works perfectly on the S3

I use Pattern, and this worked for me.
1)
Press the "+" to create a new profile. Name it what you want (I called it "unlock at home")
Press the "state" button.
Press the "Net" button.
Press the "Wifi Connected" button
Press the search button for the "SSID" and choose your network (wifi must be turned on!)
Press the green accept button.
2)
Now the "Task Selection" window appear.
Press "New Task" and name it whatever you want (I called it "Unlock")
Press the "+" button
Press the "Display" button
Press the "Keyguard" button
Set the Keyguard status to "Off"
Press the green accept button.
Press the green accept button again.
3)
Now you are back at the main profile window. Long press on the name you made for 2).
Press "Add Exit Task"
Press "new task" and name it what you want (I called it "Lock")
Press the "+"
Press the "Display"
Press the "Keyguard"
Set the status to "On"
Press green accept button.
You are done.
Now you phone will disable the keyguard when you are connected your home wifi network and enable it when you are not connected.
Notice. If you turn the screen off and on again within a second or two, the screen will turn off again, dunno why. So when you test it, turn the screen off and wait like 5 seconds and then turn it on.
Good luck

I made this tutorial for the eduroam networks at german/european universities. In this tutorial it will be explained how to setup an automatic enableing/disableing pattern lock. At my university place I have to use pattern or pin lock because of the "telekom root ca 2 certificate", otherwise the internet won't work. So the described steps should be very similar to your problem.
I edited the parts so you can use it 1:1
Requirements:
- Installed and working BusyBox App
- Installed and working Secure Settings App
--->Installed Helper in Secure Settings
- Installed and working Tasker
- Create Lockscreen (Password, Pin or Pattern Lock)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open Tasker Application:
- Create new profile and name it like you want.
- At the "First Context" choose location and locate the place where you don't need the secure lockscreen. Instead of location you can choose whatever you want. In e.g. WiFi
- If you're done, just add a "New Task" and name it e.g. "deactivate pattern" or how you like
- Add an action ( Plugin -> Secure Settings -> Edit -> choose at DEV ADMIN ACTIONS "Password/Pin" or at HELPER ACTIONS "Pattern Lock"
---> For Password/Pin use these settings:
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/266/screenshot2012071109483.png
---> For Pattern Lock use these settings:
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/69/screenshot2012071109551.png
- Save the settings and check them all. You got a new profile with one task now. Long press at the task and add an "Exit Task". Use the same steps from above ( the last 2 steps ) just name it e.g. "activate pattern"
---> For Password/Pin use these settings:
(Insert your security Informations)
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/267/screenshot2012071109574.png
---> For Pattern Lock use these settings:
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/515/screenshot2012071109571.png
- Save all the settings you made and then you should have a profile which shows minimum one context and 2 tasks ( Input and Exit task)
That's it... i hope it work! If not let me know Tasker and Secure Settings are a very powerful tool and handle them with care!
Good Luck
Thanks to all of you.
Today i've tried the Trial version of "Delayed Lock" from the market with the Wifi Plugin.
An what should i say?
It works like a charm :good:
Less features than Tasker, but less expensive...
Nevertheless i will try your profiles even if i think i tried this settings before
Regards
For me it doesn't quite work.
When I turn off the pattern lock, it activates swipe unlock instead of no unlock screen.
I tried to turn off keyguard too, but with no effect at all.
I'm on stock rom with root.
Same for me, but I like it so. Don't know if this is a bug or a feature.

Guys, check Tasker website, there's a beta version there. It might solve your problems.
EDIT: check if you have the latest version: 1.3u1 I haven checked before posting, there is no more beta. Sorry.

Ok maybe i got something: When you configure a VPN or install a new certificate, Android deactivates the possibilty to choose the less secure options in the security / lockscreen menu. If you now delete any VPN connection and/or user defined certificates, tasker and secure settings should work. At least for me it does. Can anyone verify this?
OK this has been covered in these threads
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...-to-set-default-launcher-marshmallow-t3227812
https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/929643/auto-start-spmc-/?offset=5
But I figure post here with clear directions in case anyone needs, ty Asadullah and FantasticN
First find a launcher you intend to use I use The Ha launcher it can be found here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.i.akihiro.halauncher&hl=en_US
and install (It can also be found on the play store on the Shield)
On Shield TV
Marshmallow
Activate Developer mode: got to settings-Info and press build 8-times
Then go to Settings--Preferences--Developer Options and activate debugging for USB
On your PC (if needed) download Windows USB-Drivers for Shield TV and install:
https://developer.nvidia.com/shield-open-source
Download Minimal ADB and Fastboot and install:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Connect your Shield TV via USB to mini USB with PC, For the 2017 Shield Model please look below for connection info.
Leave the Shield plugged in and turned on as the way u usually use it connected to tv open command prompt (Minimal ADB and Fastboot ) on PC and type adb devices the PC will try to connect with Shield TV via USB. A message will pop up on the tv requesting permission for that device. Confirm that message with the controller or other device you use mouse, remote etc.
Type in the command prompt
adb shell
pm hide com.google.android.leanbacklauncher
To undo this
adb shell
pm unhide com.google.android.leanbacklauncher
This will make the new launcher the default as it hides the leanback
(Commands are different for the Nougat build see Update below)
Also If this is needed because you cannot get into settings on your device afterwards I have attached a copy of the shields setting apk file that I got off the nvidia site just install it as you would any other apk and all is fine access all settings etc.
This should work fine with any launcher that is setup as a Home Launcher please make sure you have a launcher that works and is what u need/want and that it is indeed set up and set as Home launcher.
UPDATE : For Shields running Nougat build
This is for Nougat NON Rooted shields, This also works on the 2015 model.
For Nvidia Shield 2017 Model Please follow the updated instructions After you have set up minimal adb and fast boot on PC.
First get a Type-A to Type-A USB cable or an adapter that makes micro usb to Type-A
Use the Usb port furthest away from the Hdmi Port On The Shield TV
Select Usb device mode In Settings
Select Settings--Storage and Reset -- Using Usb (for Mtp)
Select Settings--About--Build-- Press Build 8 times to enable Developer mode then
Select Settings--Developer Options--Usb debugging (For adb)
Then
Type in the command prompt:
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.leanbacklauncher
This should work fine with any launcher that is setup as a Home Launcher please make sure you have a launcher that works and is what u need/want and that it is indeed set up and set as Home launcher.
UPDATE: OREO Here are the new commands for the Oreo update
Type in the command prompt:
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.leanbacklauncher
and
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.tvlauncher
This will uninstall the Default launcher on non-rooted shields please make sure you have a functional launcher, set as Home launcher before doing this.
UPDATE: Pie (8-3-2019) To enable adb debugging on Pie go to Settings -- device preferences -- about then scroll down to build select and click it until developer mode is enabled.
To Disable the New Pie Launcher use this command
adb shell
pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.tvlauncher
Cool. Should be stickied instead of scattered all over the place. Thank you.

Or you could install the app "home switcher for android tv" This hides and unhides leanback launcher without having to adb. Not sure if I'm allowed to post a link but if you google whats in the quotes you will find the apk.

If you are referring to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asad.homeswitcher&hl=en this app requires root but yes you are correct it will allow you to switch home launchers if you adb hide you can do it with or without root , was this the program you were talking about ? if not can you please link ty.

If you want to bring up the power menu for restart, power off , etc. options that would depend on how you are controlling the device I use a harmony remote with mine, and under shield on remote if i hold down the power toggle button the main power menu will come up with options. Try holding down either the power toggle , or power button on the device you are using to control the shield , and see if the Power menu pops up. You can also restart the shield through the About tab under settings and place a shortcut to settings on the ha launcher home screen for easier access if restarting is what you are trying to do. As for turning off the machine if you hold the power button on the machine for around 10 to 12 seconds it will shut down.
As for access the power menu from home screen with the controller I have never been able to get it to do that and the launcher does'nt really have anything to do with it , because I'm able to access this menu with my remote.
Thanks DBCAB but i haven't got a remote and i don't really want to force shutdown by pressing power for 10 seconds (because it is not very good to do that) nor want to just reboot. I wish to find the system shortcut, i haven't found yet but if i do i'll tell you how. But if someone find it before me, please tell us !

The update notes for the marshmallow release state clearly the way to access the power menu on the home screen is to hold down the back button, it does not however state if they are referring to the remote or the controller. Guess we can try it. I do know long press the home key on the controller does bring up the twitch settings menu I haven't tested the back button on the controller to get to the power menu will check it tomorrow as its late atm.
Ok heres how how to make a shortcut to the power settings right on the launcher home screen first download this program from here at XDA in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-create-shortcut-app-activities-t3397757
Next install it on Shield, open and go to the All Activities Tab scroll down till you see Settings its the first one on the list (the icon sorta looks like a stereo audio bar slider), and click on it, Next scroll down that list all the way to the bottom to the activity named (com.android.tv.settings.Power.Settings.Activity) and click on it, on the following screen rename the shortcut to something more normal like power or power setting whatever you like, then click the yellow icon to the bottom right to create a shortcut. Once this shortcut is made you can go into the app list on ha launcher and add this shortcut wherever you like as usual , and have access to the sleep restart and power off menu on the Shield. Kinda a round about way to do it but once its done you have the shortcut so all good.
You can also change the icon etc as usual in ha launcher.
Thanks a lot , that was exactly what i needed !

There are 2 power settings under that heading when u are looking try to go all the way down to the end of that list to find to correct one, and try that, I might be able to just copy the shortcut and post it here but different people have different machines and setups so I felt was better to just show a way to do it rather then post a shortcut that may not work for some

I have the pro version , but this should work on both devices , I was wondering if maybe you are under the correct area for the settings. The icon under which the power setting you need does not look like a gear, its rather like a stereo slider bar white with 3 horizontal black bars I tried to attach an image of it for you but this post wont allow me to do so for some reason.
Hi,
Sorry just got my Shield and want to use Hal. I don't know how i can connect my shield to my pc using USB. Is it like a seperate wire?
Also, how do you install the settings.apk? I'm a noob and don't want to do something wrong. I assume its a copy to pendrive, then to ES Explorer and then install? Would that work
Thanks!

You can use a typical usb wire connection like the one u use to charge the device, from your pc to the shields mini usb port, I do this with my laptop makes it easier to connect the 2 while shield is hooked up.
As for installing the apk you would install that as u would any other apk transfer it to the shields download folder or wherever you like and then click on it to use, there many file mangers that can see your home network making it easy to transfer it to the shield there are even utilitys that install things for you the newest version on there firmware also supports viewing the shield right on your windows network making it really easy to transfer things back and forth, just get a file manager like es file explorer solid explorer etc. or use the new function on the device. But yes I guess the pendrive thing would work too just have to get it on there Ive never actually used a pen drive for it I use my network , but yeah it would work as long as you can get the apk on the device
Thanks for this nice topic, I've been looking into replacing the home menu "launcher" without rooting.
Could you people kindly post which launchers worked for shield tv other than Hal?
Thanks a lot

Thanks DBCAB,
however Just tried this and it's not working. I already have ADB installed. So did ADB devices and asked for Fingerprint RSA on my shield and Pressed yes to accept.
I then typed in ADB Shell
and got [email protected] $
typed in - pm hide com.google.android.leanbacklauncher
I got package com.google.android.leanbacklauncher new hidden state: True
but I'm still getting the launcher. I've also ticked my Hal launcher as the Home App but not working.
please advise.

hi everyone! after using remix os on my yoga 500 notebook for over a week, i'm having some issues i hope someone can help me solve.
1) how do i force an app to open in phone mode? some apps have fullscreen disabled from the beginning, some can be disabled, but for example hangouts just refuses to open as a window... i have toogled the "allow all apps to switch to phone mode" in experimental settings, but i still cannot run hangouts in a window (see screenshots)
2) can the os tell me my battery is runnin out somehow? all you see is a small icon, and today i forgot to plug in my cable and the notebook just powered down without ANY warning or notification before. it simply suddenly turned itself off, like when you pull a pc out of the socket
3) is there a way to set screen brightness without having to use the dedicated physical keyboard buttons? my lenovo yoga can be put in tablet mode and then the keyboard is disabled, so there is no way of changing screen brightness (except 3rd party apps but there are only really outdated ones and they just look awful), i also have no such option in settings.
4) is it possible to have 2 different chrome tabs next to each other? in cm13's multiwindow with "merge tabs with apps" enabled in chrome, you could do just that. but there is no such option in chrome here.. and before you suggest using 2 different browsers - it sucks, i have all my account data synced with chrome.
if you have a suggestion to any of my problems, please tell me

Settings/Applications
For each application, click on it and turn off "Open in fullscreen mode".
Then when you open the app, you will have access to a pull-down at top of screen. Simply select the middle symbol on the upper right and it should go into phone display. You can resize the display to suit yourself. The system remembers your settings.

i have done exactly what you described, and it does work for some apps, but not for hangouts. any other idea?
FWIW the. 205 release has brightness adjustment on the taskbar if you use alt/F1 to go into terminal mode and type vi
EDIT does not work. You need to have root

Not quite the case, brightness slider was there from first alpha - it's the build.prop edit that 'enables' it.
On systemless-root I added that prop by default (via ramdisk.img) as I figured it best to enable it.
Alt/F1 would work without system root; but needs a initrd.img to mount /system rw and need to use sed or similar instead of vi

When I pin a tab and try to unpin it doesn't let me. It shows the message to press back anfd overview together but it doesn't unpin no matter how long I press them together. Tried it on multiple apps, I get the same result. Anyone else facing same issue or know how to correct it?
if you mean the tabs in the recents you havr to swipe the app down to lock and down again to unlock
Problem is with gesture mode. When gesture mode is enabled, screen pinning should be disabled.
There is no option in MIUI to enable or disable screen pinning. So need to wait for MIUI to fix it
For now need to be careful, not to press it. Rebooting the phone for this issue is a pain now.
I'm facing the problem in button mode
I too am facing this issue in my poco F1 in button mode as well. Seems like a nasty bug as I NEED to reboot my mobile everytime for this.
Same here when pin the app it doesn't come out of it and the only way out is to restart the phone. Hope it's going to be fixed soon.
Anyone find a work around to this pinning problem yet? I think that the developer team is not even aware of this issue. As even after so much time there is no fix. Can anyone let them know of this irritating bug?
Omg glad a read this. Just pinned YouTube for my son to realise with gestures on it can't be unpinned. Was worried it would be a full reset
Workaround
This is a workaround. This is how unpin is done in android.
Press & hold power button & home screen ( middle) button together, you'll be taken to home screen.

Solution for screen unpinning in gesture mode
Download the app soft keys- home back button app from Google Play Store. This will give the phone virtual home button even if your phone is in gesture mode.
Works for me all the time

Works in miui 12 global. Life saver
Once screen pinned, then it's not coming to normal state by pressing and holding the back and recents buttons together.
Can anyone help me
Any update
Nope still the same on stable MIUI 10 global. Which is disaster especially if you use navigation gestures as it's very easy to pin the screen. Does anyone on Android P beta experience the same issue?
BTW I'm on MIUI 10.1.3.0 (Poco f1). I've tried everything to turn on Screen pinning but I couldn't find that under settings. Please help.
How to avoid screen pinning.
I have found a way to avoid restart when screen pinned button is pressed accidentally which is always annoying.
Method: When screen pinned button is pressed it will show you instructions to unpin. Just press the power key, there you go you have successfully avoided the screen to be pinned.
Note: Don't press ok button when it shows how to unpin, if pressed ok then only way to get out is restart.
This method will work for both button and full screen gestures users
Hope I've helped.:angel:

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, this "feature" has been really getting on my nerves, and I've managed to get out of the screen pinning by getting tap happy with the buttons and keys but without really working it out and not wanting to test. Well I got stuck in it again today to the point of Googling again for a solution (which I didn't find), but I found my own so thought i'd post it, i'm using a Xiaomi Mi 9 running MIUI Global 10.2.30 but expect the same to apply to the POCOPHONE F1 also.
When your screen is pinned press the physical power button and the home (middle) soft button and screen pinning will be removed, hopefully that helps someone else out !
How you pin your screen? I am new in miui (10.3.8.0) please help.
I use full screen mode.
I couldn't find any option to pin screen
Yes bro it works fine and now i can use DMR in oubg for tap tap tapp Thanks bro

This technique also works on RN8PRO running EEA MIUI 11.0.2.0. Many thanks for sharing the tip as it is a really useful feature.
However would anyone of you know how to enable password feature when unpinning?
Since that pinning feature does not seem to be 'supported' natively by our Xiaomi phones I'd be curious to know what key to add to also have the password supported when unpinning.
I'd guess we could get that value from any other phone running stock android and supporting the pinning feature natively.
Thanks
UPDATE:
Sharing if it may interest someone like me.
So I grabbed my old non MIUI phone and dig its settings.
Turns out we can enable lock on unpinning by just adding an other simple value key in Secure table.
To be allowed to do so, you first need to grant extra permission to app through adb:
It may not be the case for all devices but for my RN8PRO I needed root (su) to apply the adb command.
Code:
pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Once permission granted, select Secure table, and add the following new key:
Code:
lock_in_app_exit_locked 1
All set, you will now be asked to unlock screen once you unpin pinned app by long pressing back.
Hope this helps.
