Hello,
I try to enable Glace Screen in my 820 running last 1709 build.
I tried to download necessary files, enable tweak in Interop, edid register:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Nokia\NokiaSvcHost\Plugins\NsgGlance\NlpmService]
"Path"="C:\Data\SharedData\OEM\Public\NsgGlance_NlpmService_4.1.11.3.dll
and

HKLM\Software\OEM\Nokia\lpm\FontFile
lpmFont_WVGA.bin

Tried to reboot, MS Store does not find update for my version of the GS - 4.1.0.151; Svc 4.12.4. It it possible to enable in Options/Addons, but does not give me any effect on turn off screen.

Any recommendations how to fix this issue? You can confirm that this mod work on 10.0.15254.575?

Finally! I thought I'm the only one having trouble deactivating full filesystem access


How to Fix MTP Root Path to Deactivate Full Filesystem Access

If you can't deactivate full filesystem access by just unchecking its checkbox on Interop Tools, I found a way to fix it
  1. Open Interop Tools > This Device. Open sidebar, choose Interop Unlock
  2. Check Full Filesystem Access
  3. Enter C:\Data\Users\Public on MTP Root Path
  4. Click the write button next to MTP Root Path
  5. Uncheck Full Filesystem Access
  6. Restart your device
I couldn't do option 4.

    Hello all,

    I just wanna share a tutorial on how to restore glance screen on Windows 10 Redstone for older devices. I made this tutorial because there are so many people asking how to restore glance functionality after they update their device to Redstone. There are some guides on it but they are really hard to find. There is even an option to enable old glance screen on Gustav's Interop Tools but lot of people don't know how to use it

    This tutorial is based on what I always did to restore the glance screen on my Lumia 920. Make sure that your device had glance screen feature when it was on Windows Phone. Otherwise, this trick wouldn't work. Follow this tutorial on your own risk. I'm not responsible for any damage caused to your device.

    Part 1: Install Interop Tools & Glance Screen APPX
    1. On your PC, Download the latest version of Interop Tools from https://xdaforums.com/windows-10-mobile/windows-10-mobile-apps-and-games/app-interop-tools-versatile-registry-t3445271 and the attached glancescreen_appx.zip. Put all the APPXs (including dependencies) on your phone storage (e.g. Download folder)
    2. On your phone. go to Settings > Update & security > For developers
    3. Turn on Developer mode, Device Discovery and Device Portal
    4. Open Microsoft Edge, and go to http://127.0.0.1/ to open Device Portal (it is possible to do this using your PC via WiFi but it'll be slower since the APPXs need to be transfered via WiFi)
    5. If there is a certificate error, ignore it and click Continue to this webpage
    6. You might be asked to authenticate. Go to the previous developer settings and click Pair button
    7. On the Device Portal, Click Apps on the left sidebar
    8. Install all Interop Tools dependencies ONE BY ONE. After that, install the main Interop Tools APPX
    9. Install glancescreen.appx
    10. Turn off Device Discovery and Device Portal on the developer settings

    Part 2: Restore Missing Glance Files & Registry
    1. Open Interop Tools > This Device. Open sidebar, choose Interop Unlock
    2. Check Restore NDTKSvc and restart your device (on some occasions, the other option can't be turned on until you restart your device)
    3. Open Interop Tools > This Device > Interop Unlock. Check Full Filesystem Access and restart your device once more (some folders can't be seen until you restart the device)
    4. Connect your device to your PC via USB
    5. On your PC, download the attached missing_glance_files.zip and put them on [Your Phone]\Data\SharedData\OEM\Public\ using Windows Explorer
    6. Open Interop Tools and turn off Full Filesystem Access
    7. Open sidebar, choose Tweaks
    8. Scroll down and turn on Enable Old Glance Screen (RS1)

    Part 3: Fix Glance Font (Non-WXGA devices only)
    1. Open Settings > System > About. Click More info button and check your device Screen resolution
    2. If it's 768x1280 (WXGA), jump to part 4. Otherwise, open Interop Tools > This Device. Open sidebar, choose Registry Browser
    3. Navigate to HKLM\Software\OEM\Nokia\lpm\FontFile
    4. If your device screen resolution is 480x800 (WVGA), replace lpmFont_WXGA.bin with lpmFont_WVGA.bin. For other resolutions, you might wanna check out the other fonts inside lpmFonts_4.1.12.4 folder in the attached missing_glance_files.zip

    Part 4: Update Glance Screen
    1. Open Store. Open sidebar, choose Downloads and updates
    2. Click Check for updates and update Glance Screen
    3. Restart your device

    Miscellaneous

    I hope this tutorial helps. Goodluck! :)

    here registry files for import with Interop Tools, used to fix Glance on Lumia 925 with insider Creators Update 15063.138 (but works with any other builds)...
    instruction from first page not worked and made registry files to fix that (btw. thx to djtonka for registry values)

    + files used to copy to phone: \Data\SharedData\OEM\Public\ (inside "Data_SharedData_OEM_Public.zip" file)
    + registry files inside "REGISTRY glance.zip"
    + old Interop Tools RC3 or new Interop Tools L version

    how to use:
    - fix works only for Lumia x20 devices witch support glance by default. if device not support glance you dont need this.
    - do interop unlock first, if not work, first use "Restore NDTKSvc", restart phone and do interop unlock
    - with Interop Tools to enable "Full Filesystem Access",
    - via USB connection from PC to phone copy glance folders/files to "Data\SharedData\OEM\Public" ,
    - import registry files (also with Interop Tools)...
    - (optional) to disable Full Filesystem Access, in Interop Tools under Interop unlock - Full Filesystem Access write C:/Data/Users/Public
    - restart phone

    Thanks, great guide! it works on my 925 and i'm happy, after more and more researches of that :D

    one question: after glance return, still is possible to have the weather like this:
    glance.jpg

    ?

    no because new UWP weather app not support this...

    only way is to use weather on locked screen and use locked screen as glance

    hi
    thank you.
    can you help me for change glance font size for this method?

    Is it too small? If so, follow the steps below...


    How to Increase Glance Font to Fit Device Screen Like on Windows Phone

    The glance font on Windows Phone is bigger than on Windows 10 Mobile so that the text fits the device screen. I actually prefer the smaller font size because that's how the glance screen displayed on the new devices and it looks more elegant. But if you still want to increase the font size, here's the steps...
    1. Open Interop Tools > This Device. Open sidebar, choose Registry Browser
    2. Navigate to HKLM\Software\OEM\Nokia\lpm\FontFile
    3. Replace \Data\SharedData\OEM\Public\lpmFonts_4.1.12.4\ with \Windows\system32\
    4. Write the change
