[APP]/[Guide] Flip Cover on AOSP rom's!
- Thread starter CuraeL
- Start date
Yes, I figured if somebody was just trying to get out of all of the proprietary software and still have the flip lid work then the gpe (510) would be a good alternative and just wanted to let people know that it worked out of the box. sorry for any confusion.
sorry, but I don't use hangouts. But I will be happy to answer any questions you might have.
It works for me when I calibrate the magnetometerSometimes the magnetometer does not work properly but after this method it works again. I can now lock and unlock the screen with my smart cover using tasker.

I'll have to try this...can you export the project in Tasker and post it here?

Sure here you go: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qyta934c3nfdhjc/CCkRVs0RRY
You may have to adjust the values for when to lock/unlock the device and you need secure settings plugin.
You can check your magnetic field values by going to state -> sensor -> magnetic field -> scan and then close your cover while looking at the value when it's nearly closed.
Yes I noticed that. Tasker uses about 3% battery. My battery drains 3% during the night when using tasker and 1 when I disable it.
So tasker alone does this or do you need to install Magnet unlocker

Tasker alone. You can use both, but that's just another app running in the background then.

How-to get partial flip-cover function on AOSP] This is no longer needed.
- Remember that this will require a magnet inside the case's lid.
Hey guys!
I was fiddling around with our sensors tonight and I figured out the magnetometer is working in our device.
So I researched the Market and found an exciting application called Magnet Unlocker.
This application supports a lot of different ways to lock/unlock a device. Including with the use of a magnetic field.
Anyways, I did a lot of settings options and I cannot for the life of me get the application to both use Lock and Unlock, the unlock/lock processes get's jammed up in each other and starts to lock/unlock within seconds of eachother, so I basically use only unlock, since that's the most handy when I look at it. The device can still turn off by itself after a set time due to lacking user interaction.
With the settings I give you here, I have at least made the tablet turn on when the lid is flipped off the screen. The built-in dispay off setting is taking care of turning off the screen(in my case 1 minute after I close the lid)
So I present to you a small image guide on how to reach optimal settings.
I hope this is useful to you.
4Nice find!
For those willing to spend a few minutes, I was able to get both cover Lock and Unlock working quite easily with Tasker and Secure Settings (Paid + Free). Secure Settings is needed since Tasker cannot turn on the screen in Android 2.3+.
To Lock:
Create a new Profile, State, Sensor, Magnetic Field. Press Scan and have a look at the value when the cover is nearly closed (you can peek under the cover). A value of 285+ works fine for me so far. So set From '285' and To 'Any'.
For the Exit Task, Display, System Lock.
To Unlock:
Same as before, just use the lower range: From '0' To '284' for me. (or you can use Invert)
For the Exit Task, Plugin, Secure Settings. Hit the pencil for Configuration and choose Wake Device. I then used Screen Dim and 5 seconds, but these are up to you. Press Save and you are done!
EDIT: I added a variable check to keep it from running constantly. I think it still needs a little work, things are a bit wonky, but get you get the idea. When it locks, set %CASE to CLOSED. In order to unlock, it must then read %CASE as CLOSED, before setting it to OPEN.
You also might want to disable Run In Foreground from Settings - Monitor - General if you don't want to see a notification all the time.
Happy Smart Covering! :highfive:1It works for me when I calibrate the magnetometer Sometimes the magnetometer does not work properly but after this method it works again. I can now lock and unlock the screen with my smart cover using tasker.
