[Tweak] Fingerprint security + lock timer.

By default, you are not able to set a Security lock timer when your method of unlocking is the Fingerprint sensor.
This little trick will allow you to set a specific time until you need to swipe finger or enter PIN/pattern to unlock the screen when unlock type is Fingerprint scanner.
Requirements
Must be ROOTED!
SQLite Editor (Market Link)
If you have SQLite Editor, you also probably have Root Explorer. You can navigate using Root Explorer if you want. ​
Instructions
Launch SQLite Editor , let it load all databases.
Navigate to Settings Storage (The one with the small tools icon)
If using Root Explorer, direct to /data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
Tap through Settings Storage>settings.db>>settings
Once in settings database scroll down to 'lock_timer' (Value should be set to -1)
Tap and hold ' -1 ' > select edit field.
Enter desired value (20, 15, 10, 5, 3, 2, 1 minutes) in MILLISECONDS (5 Minutes=300000)
Reboot...
​DONE!​
Go ahead and leave some feedback if this did or didnt work for you

Near as I can tell, this doesn't do anything for me.

You should try it before write it.

Honestly think I didn't test it out before I posted? I'm using my fingerprint scanner with a 5 minute delay by doing exactly what I posted. After a reboot go check the database again and make sure that lock_timer is saved as the value you set.

Just noticed sqlite shows Settings Storage twice, be sure to pick the (second one with the tools icon) directory com.motorola.android.providers.settings

Don't see any change in my lockscreen behavior, maybe because of widgetlocker?

Doesn't work. The value for the security lock changes but it isn't obeyed.

Well i just spent the past 30 minutes using the lock screen every which way to see why or how some of you guys cant get this...i doubt the trick would be rom specific. ill test it out on my gfs atrix which is running Kens GB beta.
but for now if you dont mind testing it out some more try deleting the following databases.
'lock_type'
'lock_fingerprint'
'lock_timer'
and reboot. then set up your secuity settings like normal (may have to redo fingerprints) and then follow the steps above.
Usually i clear those after a rom flash and i decided to play with them this time and thats how i came across this little trick that allows me to put a timer while using the finger scanner.
now when its within the time limit all i have to do is slide to unlock.

just tested on another atrix with kens GB beta. Successfully applied lock timer with fingerprint scanner. No need to delete databases. not sure why some of you are having a hard time getting this right.

[Q] Touch Control - slide2lock

I have the touch control app for the nexus 4, which I must say is one of the best apps ever made for this device. Dont have to use the power button at all to lock or unlock the phone. The problem I am having though is that I am unable to use the scrollable dock in my launcher in the same direction as the slide2lock function. Can anyone tell me which settings and what values to change to in the app so I can use my scrollable dock properly.
Thanks in advance

If you tap on the arrow next to the lock function, you can adjust the sensitive range for that particular gesture. By default the Y value is set to 2400 so try adjusting it to lower values to activate the gesture above the dock. By the looks of it, the origin is set at top left (someone correct me if I'm wrong)

Sorry I probably didnt word my post correctly. The origin is at the bottom right of the phone for slide2lock. So sliding the softkeys right to left will lock the phone. Problem I am having is that the settings seem to include a little portion of the dock.
settings are currently: x,y
start point 1400,2400
end point 20,2400
threshold 350,256

Right I meant the origin as in the origin for the coordinates system. Meaning top left of the screen is 0, 0 for X and Y with the values increasing as you go down and right. So try setting the Y start and stop to 1800. That seems to set the swipe region right above the dock. Let me know if it works for you.

What app is this?

If you are interested in using your screen to lock and unlock instead of physical buttons, you're in for a treat.

Thanks for your reply. After reading the thread that the dev posted, I instead changed the threshold settings. I changed the y threshold to 85.. Anything lower and you wont be able to lock the phone unless you swipe very accurately. Also I think the stop and start of 2400 is very close to the top of the soft keys bar instead of the bottom of the screem

pgm slide2lock settings ?

What happens at the moment when you have the slide2lock enabled

Slide2Wake
I was wondering if someone could help me? I want to set the slide2wake feature on Touch Control Nexus 4 so that swiping up wakes the phone like in Blackberry 10 but I can't figure out the X Y start and stop points. Can anybody help me out? Apologies if this has already been answered somewhere else, I've been looking for ages.

@ OP which kernel you are using ? I really love to try this app but it drains my battery a lot
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

take a look at this thread
i had to deal with it also that the app didnt worked, but now its working on the stock rom, only touch control did downloaded a other kernel
dont know which kernel i choise. but it downloaded it rebooted my phone in recoverymode and it installed by itself,
after that it rebooted back on and slide to unlock was ready to work
Keep sliding boys

[Q] Noticeable lag?

So I have had my Samsung Galaxy S4 for the past two days. I was wondering if anyone noticed this issue or is it just mine. I've noticed it lags after I wake it up from sleep. It feels like the CPU hasn't kicked in yet until a few seconds later. Then it runs smooth.
So anyone else with this problem or just mine?

Personally I haven't noticed that at all, but some others suggested turning off any bloatware you don't intend on using helps resolve it. Just go to your settings > More > App management, go to all, and disable each bloatware app you want.

There are a TON of threads already discussing this..
Yes there is lag..
1. Root
2. Disable / freeze all the crapware
3. Go to developer options
3a Turn off 'Window animation scale'
3b Turn off 'Transition animation scale'
3c Turn off 'Animator duration scale'
4. Select 'Force GPU rendering'
It helps a lot but even with doing all this there is still some lag..

Thank you - made a noticeable difference for me. On a side note, does this affect any "user experience" adversely?

Shouldn't, just depends on which apps you get rid of. I basically got rid of all AT&T Bloatware.

i have the nova launcher and noticed it was faster than TW

Is this the simple way to fix the Galaxy S4 lag problem?

Skip to the 0:47 mark to avoid the self promotion
Will this fix the lag some people are complaining about?

Yeah, he says right in the video that he is turning off animations so I already knew.
I just wanted to spread the word and see if it helped

even when u disable animation it still lags,but its hard to notice cuz u the time is set on zero.Its a shame 700 euros phone having this kinda of problem.

Hey guys the video above will eliminate some of the "lag" that people see the other tweak to make is disable S-voice from activating on the Home button double press, by default when you press home once it waits a moment for the second click for s-voice. Disable that in the s-voice options and you will notice going home is MUCH more responsive.
This same tweak worked on the S3 and Note 2.

If anybody with S4 needed this explanation, they should instantly sell it!!!
I mean turning off animation how to...WOW...such enlightenment, this is older than whole Galaxy family wohohoho :silly:

MIUI tips/discussions

Now that a few of us are running miui think it be useful to jot some tips and anything you may notice
-update to 5.4.25(get the rom from our russian friends on 4pda) clocks are all synced
-switched to action launcher and now when I clear ram I get up to 400mb(drops down after a bit)
-you can set defaults go to installed app/bottom there's a gear/ boom can finally change chrome to your default browser and open up external links with chrome
-app time stamps go by the status bar time(I changed it so that the lock screen shows the correct time and assumed my messages werent sending while the whole time they were a hour up on my message threads) lol
-Added apps to startup on boot seemed to fix me not receiving any of my Snapchat and my other notifications
-pinch recents to change default view(card preview or app icon)
-slide finger over from home button towards back/menu button to enable one handed mode(yes I know its a small phone but kinda cool)
All I got so far...
-go into dialer enter *#*#4636#*#* scroll down and change wcdma preferred to gsm auto(might fix missing text messages) still debatable but worth a shot

Anybody experiencing missed text messages?

I was experiencing it with the stock miui app also...one thing I noticed in the *#*#4636#*#*
Phone settings it stays set to wcdma I'm thinking there's something in the build prop
Changing it...do you know any build prop tweaks that deal with that?

Absolutely none, I'm sorry man. Two years ago I would have been able to help you with that haha. Haven't manually tweaked build.prop in ages.

Haha me neither, I just remember reading about changing build prop to fix CDMA/GSM but when I check the build prop it's a mess and I don't see anything that could be changed
The problem is after a reboot phone settings changes back to wcdma, I changed it...well see if I receive all my SMS

I did notice more disconnects with my Android Wear as well. Remember to go into app settings after installing an app and grant it (in most cases) all permissions.
