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

@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:

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]
Quick Note:
a. This Application is for Samsung Galaxy Note 4 which may also be used on Samsung Galaxy S5.
b. Don't express your hate for ADs in reviews. It's only way of developer's earnings. You can deactivate ADs within the app but it will be nice of you not to.
c. Please Do Post Reviews and help us build this app according to your need.
So, Samsung decided to hide some key features in Galaxy Note 4 and we don't why. But that should not be stopping you from using those awesome features as those are hidden not deleted or something.
Air Gestures: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has pretty all the sensors that Samsung Galaxy S5 had. So, why not use those. Quick Glance does not work because of a missing apk in Note 4. Will be fixed in next Update
Air View: You can use your SPen for Air View but what happens when you are not using SPen. You use your finger for that purpose. (buggy)
Smart Scroll: Doesn't seems to work but work in progress (buggy)
Samsung Keyboard Handwriting Setting: Edit the way you write and the way for Note 4 detects your writing
LockScreen Clock Style: Miss Your Lockscreen where you can Signature as your personal message. You have that back
Edit Personal Message: What's the use of personal message when you can't edit it.

QuickGlance Workaround:
Download the provided attachment.
You need have CWM, Philz or TWRP recovery. if you don't have then flash it first.
Move the downloaded zip to your sdcard
In recovery, install the zip and reboot
Now you have QuickGlance on Note 4

It's normal to somethings don't work ? Like, the air view with finger doesn't work at all... the air gestures works just on e-mail and gallery, never on stock browser... smartscroll too, doesn't worked at all...
This can be related to my device ? i have the N910C version... thanks so much, great app, the options for lockscreen and keyboard it's awesome ;D
Air view with finger does not work. I am on a custom rom; may that be the problem? Another issue is to do with the pen colour. I selected the pen colour red. The pen wrote in red, but when the text has been recognized it turned to blue.
Air view finger hover messed up in latest built.
Earlier I have enabled this option on my ROM and working fine but with MK3 it causing lag and unresponsive touch on dialer, My files etc applications. Samsung might have removed codes in new built.
air gesture > air browser> music player and music on lockscreen do not work
air gesture > air browser> Air Jump do not work
Quick info works with GlaceView.apk taken from note3
Update is possible or too difficult to build ?
Thanks

I haven't tested this on any custom rom but stock one. I suggest you test this zip and let me know. I am pretty sure that it isn't going to mess up your device as it just copies an apk to system dir.

Hi, the single application does not work, you need to change your floating_feature.xml file for this to work.
If you want I can make you a zip to make it work on galaxy note 4
I'm wondering why Samsung put that nice Effect from us in TW 5.0. ?
For all there are interested in
(RE-)enabling it, do following:
Open system/etc/floating_feature.xml with Root Explorers Text Editor
and look for:
<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_MUSICPLAYER_SUPPORT_PARTICLE_EFFECT>FALSE</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_MUSICPLAYER_SUPPORT_PARTICLE_EFFECT>
Change FALSE to TRUE then Reboot and try.
Hit thanks if you like. Have fun.??
I think it must also works for the S4, Note 3+4. Try and tell me.
Works with s5

There's any option to make the music player look like KitKat on the lock screen? (full screen and not minimized as notification)
I don't think so. The Reason is Googles Material Design Line. The Stock Android Lollipop has the same Lockscreen Notifications and Samsung followed Googles Decision.
It's already there in Kitkat. Samsung didn't just automatically add it in to Lollipop.
Doesn't work on the Note 4 as it causes bootlooping

Stock Lollipop still has full screen album art. Samsung just removed it for no reason.
Line doesn't exist at all on Kitkat
hi my friend i have the verizon lg g3, running on kitkat custom stock rom.. skydragon!!
i want to know about what rom have more satbility, battery perfomance
im looking for this on a stock custom rom:
lollipop rom
no problem with xposed
everything works like a charm...
lg smart cover and smart cover works running xposed too
no crash in the more setting.
battery perfomance
system stability
PD: i know that some thread have a quick cover app.. to replace the stock app.. and its working with the g3 plus xposed! somebody test it or can review that!
if the rom is AOSP what rom is better and contain the following features:
double tap to sleep everywhere
double tap to wake
knock code
lg quick circle cover &smart weather
infrared controller
system stability
battery performance
some way to use google now theme with appdrawer folder?
PD: i know that some thread have a quick cover app.. to replace the stock app.. and its working with the g3 plus xposed! somebody test it or can review that!
i really feel very thankfull about the answer of this thread..
thnks you in advance
And I want a wife who has hot friends and will not sleep with anyone else but will let me hook up with said hot friends at will...
The point is: It's give and take; you have to figure out what is most important and go with it.
I may suggest that you learn a little more about Android, licensing, and the differences between stock and AOSP before laying out your list of demands, because many of these are just not possible.
Stock:
Xposed is currently in an alpha state on Lollipop, requires the removal of the smart weather and cover apps, in order to function on KitKat and Lolllipop alike. Going to the "More settings...." will produce a crash as a result of this removal. That is clearly noted in numerous threads for Xposed on LG.
AOSP/CM:
Knock code is an LG feature that requires their framework and, I think, a kernel module, too; no dice on AOSP.
You can get double tap to wake, double tap anywhere to sleep on lockscreen, and double tap on status bar anywhere. The implementation on status bar only is far smarter.
Quick cover is available; not sure about the circle..
LG Weather is an LG app and requires their framework; no dice. There are far better options available anyway.
The IR may not lend itself to every app, but the QRemote app has been ported and works great.
Google Now is available.
App drawer folders are a feature of certain launchers and most work fine on AOSP ROMs.
You may test anything that you like where it comes to Xposed. I'm sure that the devs would appreciate detailed feedback.

My work around for double tap to sleep anywhere was to use slim actions and place it on the home screen as well as double tap on status bar or nav bar.
I've been on aicp for a while now and really enjoying it. Very solid and a lot of features.
Hello, I have Samsung Galaxy S6 edge, rooted, CrissCross ROM 6.0 and I want to enable navbar (softkeys). I have tried edit build.prop (qemu.hw.mainkeys=0) - malfunction, enable in GravityBox - System UI has stopped. Can anyone help me? Thank you very much. :angel:
I have this also. I miss the onscreen buttons. Makes it much easier to use my phone.
What is very strange is that i see transparant nav keys on my screen (even without the build.prop line). It is very transparant you hardly notice it. Do you have the same?
I uploaded a screenshot. As you may notice between the word "favorieten" and "tabbladen" you can see the square nav button.
I came from a 5.1 official rom and added this mod. It worked.
Since on 6.0.1 official i only see this on my screen. The whole color above the "hidden" nav bar is also yellowish. The nav bar itself is bright white.
Here another screenshot you might notice better
