[MOD][XPOSED][4.2+] XLockSecuritySlide: Lockscreen: Slide + security

[kleest]

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).

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

Credits
@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!

Will this work on a Samsung Galaxy S4 (TouchWiz based ROM)?

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:

(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:

Ahh, OK, I should have read the OP more carefully... Makes sense. Thanks!

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...

 

[amey_gangal]

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.

 

[rush25]

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]
