Don't waste your money on this method!!!! Oppo still restricts background use and will not allow this solution to be permanent.
Sound to good to be true? That's because it kind of is. What this guide will get you is
1. No lock screen
2. A way to hide the orange developers option banner in the status bar
3. Gestures working so that you can swipe home on any launcher and go home instead of a blank screen.
Okay, time for the bad news....
1. this is going to cost money ( unless you can find free apps that can do it)
2. Status bar will constantly be hidden, unless you pull it down from the top.
Pre Reqs....
Apps needed
1. OnePlus Gestures
2. Immersive Manager
3. Hide Nav Bar
Knowledge of using adb. Guides can be found everywhere around here.
Alright lets get started.
First make sure you go into settings , Smart & Convenient, and choose Virtual Key Navigation ( Don't worry they will go away by the end of this tutorial)
1. Enable developer options.
2. In developer options check Do not use Lockscreen, turn on "usb debugging" and at the very bottom turn on "Disable Permission
Monitoring"
3. Open Immersive Manager and follow the prompts. Once done enabling the secure settings of the app in adb, Press Immersive
Mode Strategy and select global. Now press Global Immersive Mode and select Status Bar. Now you can turn on the Main
switch of the app.
4. Open OnePlus Gestures app and follow the prompts. Go down to gestures and select "Swipe Up Center" press "App" then
select whatever home launcher you're choosing to use. Scroll down and check " Hide Navigation Bar". Now go back up and
turn on the main switch
5. Now open the Hide Nav Bar app. Follow the prompts. Once done enabling the secure settings of the app in adb, press "Main
Switch" Now scroll down and uncheck "Show While Screen Is Off"
That's it all done. You can customize your swipe gestures however you want now.
Have any questions and I will answer them when I can.
good luck.

All of the required apps are from the same developer, correct?
@justinswidebody
I proceeded with the three apps from the same developer.
Enabled the two apps via ADB,& the OnePlus app,& followed your steps.
However,I still have the lockscreen.
Any suggestions?
@justinswidebody
NVM,had a blonde moment,the toggle for no lockscreen is in Developer Options.
THX Again for the tutorial,it's much appreciated! :good:

Lol, remember to take each of those apps in app manager to allow background process
following this guide will make loose Face ID Unlock on lockscreen ?
Hello, I've followed your instructions, everything went smoothly. The only issue is that Oneplus Gestures keeps on being disabled (Main Switch goes off and I have to reset Accessibility permissions). I've tried to lock the application, gave all permissions possible, but it keeps happening...

Yes I found that out too. Oppo no matter what restricts background use. I'm sorry you wasted money on this. I will update thread to let others know not to do this.

Never mind. Is there a way to reinstall the original launcher without resetting the phone (with a ADB command) ?

No, you would need the physical apk file and reinstall it. Otherwise you have to reset it. As stated above you can still use Nova launcher or other launchers and have all gestures working. Just choose the gestures with back on left, home center, and recent right
Here's my question... I try to wipe the data, it will ask for lockscreen password? I tey to download the stock rom, still i can't put it to root folder because it will ask again the lockscreen password? In short i forgot and didn't know what the password i put. Any help? Thanks in advance.?
sim, é só abrir o cmd e digitar esse comando coloque o nome do app que você quer restaurar, junto com esse comando e execute no cmd. adb shell cmd package install-existing "nome do aplicativo sem aspas"

First off posting your email in an open forum is a great way to get spammed.
There are some edits that can be done but not removing it completely. A search in your device forum will tell you what edits can be done.

Not sure what Quick Setting you are using, if you are using custom ROM you can try restore the original file of /system/app/SystemUI.apk, you can use adb to do it (adb remount, adb push, adb shell chmod). Hope it helps.

MOTO E doesn't have official multiuser support. There is a workaround but for that, you need a Rooted Device. Find the Rooting guide on the Moto E General Forum and then head on to this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/general/guide-enable-multiuser-lollipop-t3033585

Moto E LTE stuck in "just a sec" screen of "SetupWizardTestActivity"
Moto E LTE stuck in "just a sec" screen of "SetupWizardTestActivity" :crying:
1) Any suggestion on how to cancel/escape this "first time init" application so that i can reach the settings and give the required permission to this app.
2) If above not possible then any other suggestion to get back phone in working condition without factory reset/wipe from recovery.
*Apps are still working in background , i am getting notification sound and pushbullet notification on desktop
*tried the cache cleaning from recovery. it took quite some time but after reboot also the stuck in same situation
*Completely stock phone. bootloader unlock and root not done. since bootloader unlock wipes the device i do not want to do it at the moment.
*I have installed moto usb drivers and SDK to execute adb but phone is not visible with 'adb devices' command.
* apps are excuting in background since i am getting pushbullet update of phone notifications on desktop browser but the first time setup app has captured the screen and does not alow any other activity from touchscreen.
* for some reason the Paytm app also runs at startup and runs on top of "SetupWizardTestActivity" app but only thing i can do is back soft button till it exits. cant open notification
Context and back story
I triggered the "home button not working, empty notification" of lollipop/marshmallow as detailed in the following post on my Moto E 2015 LTE surnia by trying to manage space by using the migrate data option in storage. it tried to perform migrate in opposite direction i.e. from sdcard to internal and ran out of space mid operation probably.

Nova launcher workaround if abd not available . 3rd last post at the bottom.
http://forums.androidcentral.com/moto-e-2015/673227-problems-marshmallow-moto-e2-any-help.html
After this the behavior was as specified in above issue posting. home button not working (i could reach home screen by using back key till all open application as closed.), empty notification drawer, not able to reach the quick shortcuts in notification area etc.
So I tried thought some space issue
A) so i installed a few apps and cleared data of chrome, play books etc. to free up 500mb.
still same home button issue
B) then i thought it is some notification permission issue and checked various options in notification option in setting.
still no change
C) then i thought some other permission issue. So in the apps option in setting i reset the apps permission to factory. (dont remember exact menu option but it was in the 3 dots option on top right in apps setting). it gave a warning that all permissions will be reset to factory for apps
after this all apps lost all permissions and everything was asking permission when app was started. e.g. data manager app wanted permission to access data, sms app wanted sms access and so on.
**This will be one main reason for my issue at the end.**
After that I searched the issue and found above link.
so i tried the guest user login and cancel from that and the notification drawer got recovered. it was showing app notifications for whatsapp, SMS etc.
but home soft button was still *not* working
Since i haven't done any bootloader unlock and root operation on this phone i was not confident of the adb command success since it mentioned in one post that it required 'su'
So i tried Nova launcher workaround to invoke 'SetupWizardTestActivity' and it did execute asking me for
Now the initial factory inti app is running and stuck in following loop
language->sim select-> wifi login-> \
/-----------------------------------|
->privacy option->|software update check->-\
|------------------------------------------|
|-> account added -> "just a sec" ---------^
it hangs and crashes at the saving "just a sec" screen and goes back to "Account added" screen
This is due to the permission issue i created in step "C" of permission reset explained above.

Please if someone can help with ideas and suggestions to kill the fitst time installation app. :fingers-crossed:
NOTE. im new to Moto E but have been playing around with my older phones samsung s2, lg g2 and changing roms and trying out various options like CM, AOKP res remix etc.
any ideas on how to unset the flag that causes this first time installation screen to run at bootup
so apparently the bootloader unlock requires us to have a "" toggle set from devleoper option.
but we dont have a phone booting into a state that allows this toggle to be selected then we cant unlock bootloader as well.
fastboot oem unlock XXXX
...
(bootloader) Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options.
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.011s
as explained in http://www.droid-life.com/2014/11/0...nable-oem-unlock-option-in-developer-options/
and http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-9/help/warning-locking-bootloader-disabling-t2951312
So if someone has an idea on how to cancel the flag i somehow enabled by executing 'SetupWizardTestActivity' from nova launcher wizard.
The wizard cant complete because it doesn't have permission and i cant give permission as it is not allowing me to enter into the phone setting.
Did you ever find a way aroudn this issue? I've just run into it too..

Download stock rom from below link. Flash tool and flashing process also given in the zip.

You might just be able to sideload a launcher apk via adb.

Instead of flashing rom,
First try to install any launcher from playstore since you can open settings
Set it as default launcher from settings itself after installing
If the problem still exists then you can go for flashing rom
Also press the thanks button if I helped

I can tell this thread is more than a year old, but... I want to ask you: How did you unlock the Lenovo A7-30HC?
TIA.
Running latest weekly for lineage OS 14.1 may 18th, I was using my phone when it shut down suddenly and restarted. When it booted back up I had lost all my app data, I wasn't logged into chrome etc, the recents and home button do not work, on either on screen or capacitive buttons. (long press on recents brings up the app menu however, and haptic feedback registers the click)
I tried this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65442177&postcount=3982
By wiping the system folder and installing the nightly again along with an updated open gapps and it did nothing.
I can't access developer options, repeatedly hitting build number does nothing. I can't pull down the notification tray all the way. I'm missing menus in settings.
I honestly don't know what happened. I installed a new app[The world of magic] about an hour before this happened but I was using it the entire time. I've tried to list everything I ave come across, any help or further questions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
One of my friend had similar issue. Go to Settings>Profile and change it to owner. Probably it will help.
I had this issue when I started messing with rerunning the first time setup. Rerun the setup by following these steps:
taimoorhusain said:
So, just wanted to circle back... Contrary to the above, it is indeed possible*and I was able to do it and reproduce it reliably.*Long story short, it was the following two commands that did the trick :
1. adb shell
su
pm enable com.google.android.setupwizard/com.google.android.setupwizard.SetupWizardActivity
2. adb shell settings put secure user_setup_complete 0
The first command is case sensitive (SetupWizardActivity)

I was facing the same issue when my phone rebooted due to low battery. Can confirm that rerunning the setup fixed the issue. Thanks to this thread for the help.
These are the steps which I followed:
1. Removed the screen lock (Might not be needed, not sure).
2. Executed the above two commands mentioned by AlexInvar.
3. Reboot.
You can also pass that with Nova Launcher.
Just create an activity shortcut for "installation Wizard" activity and run it
After that, it will be OK.
