[Q] S-Cover with Lollipop

[Isaac_T]

I'm enjoying Lollipop on my S4 Mini, but I have a problem..

With Lollipop, you can't customize the lock screen clock, right?
I haven't found a solution, because I would like to put the clock more up, so it shows on my S-Cover display.

So I tried to install other Lock screens, but the problem I have then is that the screen doesn't show if I press the power button, while the cover is closed. That only works with the Lollipop lock screen.

So how can I solve this? Does anybody know a solution?
Either can you customize the clock on Lollipop lock screen?

Or can you enable that the screen shows when I press the power button while I'm on another lock screen?

you can try with this app => https://github.com/durka/hallmonitor ,maybe it can work ,i don't know ...

(download : https://github.com/durka/HallMonitor/blob/0.4.1/bin/HallMonitor-debug.apk?raw=true , put it on ex-SD and on a file explorer ,install it with "unknown source" enabled on security parameters )

I have tried Hallmonitor, but it made my screen go black after a phone call. I had to restart the phone to be able to use it again, so I uninstalled it. I also tried S-View Lite from Google Play, but it's the same problem there like with all the other lockscreens from Google Play, I can't put the screen on with power button if the cover is closed. That only works with Lollipop default lockscreen.

I don't think it is as easy as just getting an app since the s-view cover uses an sensor and the holo sensor to activate it. I guess we will have to wait till some developers start in that or Samsung releases an SDK or even better Lolipop Update

Hall sensor works in cm11 and 12 what is missing is the sview lockscreen

State of HallMonitor development

Development of HallMonitor seems to have stopped since version 0.4.2 (latest commit of the author "durka" is from 22 Jul 2014). This version doesn't support CM12(.1) (see issue 52 on durka's GitHub page).

The suggested installation of the "MagnetOff" Xposed module is not a very useful workaround since you can't use the hall sensor (magnet sensor) anymore and would have to fall back on the proximity sensor (which is a pain in the a**).

The GitHub user "manusfreedom" has added several features and took development up to his version 2.0.2 beta (but his last commit is quite old too, from 21 Sep 2014). Has anyone tested manusfreedoms fork on CM12(.1)? Or does anyone know about a revival of HallMonitor's development? Would be so awesome to have this for CM12.1 ... :cyclops:

To customize the clock position, try this.
You need Xposed for this. -->> http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-lock-screen-clock-mods-t3069272/post59810253

Works perfectly!
