Unlock your screen via adb. (send the menu keycode)

Found this via google groups.
You can unlock your phone via an adb shell command
Code:
adb shell
input keyevent 82
or on one line:
adb shell input keyevent 82
key event 82:
public static final int KEYCODE_MENU
Since: API Level 1
Key code constant: Menu key.
Constant Value: 82 (0x00000052)

Background: I flashed a kernel and rebooted and when the phone was fully booted I could not unlock the lock screen!
Had disabled the slider and had the menu key set to unlock (cm7). Unfortunately the kernel must have had a bug or something and all my soft buttons were not working.

Neat! It never occured to me that ADB might support sending key events.

Any updates to this? I locked myself with gesture. LOL

mh do you know what it is for the Desire??
I tryed this, but it doesn't worked. had a simular problem. I worked on the lockscreen and than i removed the ring, and i could push it XD

Thanks a lot man for sharing this.
Working awesome with Nexus 5.

Thank you!!!
Thank you for good information . :good::good::good::good:

Doesn't work with Samsung S6
Hi, it doesn't work with Samsung S6. Any generic solution for all the mobile devices ?

[Q] Slider Disabled, Not recognizing gesture.... now what?

I am running CM
So I disabled the slider unlock, but it stopped recognizing my gesture for some reason and I cannot figure out how to login to my phone. Running stable build of CM7.1, not sure if I can change that setting somehow from ADP or do something from a terminal... Any ideas?
When I say gesture, I am not referring to the password based on the motion with the dots, I am saying the screen where the unlock / silent toggle was has been disabled and I cannot get passed there.
Your help is appreciated

Did u try unlock with menu button?
I remember that from cm7
Sent from my MB525 running 4.5.1-134 DFP 231 DEFY+ ROM...
using XDA App

No menu button doesn't do anything....
Do you know WHERE this "Slider Disabled" setting is stored? I could go in thru ADB and change it but I don't know where to look.
Here are the things I have tried already
----
Attempt 1:
$ ./adb -d shell
# cd data/data
# sqlite3 ./com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
sqlite> update system set value=1 where name='lockscreen_disabled';
sqlite> .exit
# reboot
Attempt 2:
adb shell
input keyevent 82
---
Neither of these worked. I think the solution should be in the updating the settings.db, but maybe its a different row/record that contains "ENABLE slider"?
Help would be appreciated!

could deleting the the offending theme restore to normal?? Just thinking out loud here ^^
don't know much about adb

Okay. No help here, but I found a fix and I thought i would share it since I have seen that apparently other people have had this problem with no help as well other than "Wipe and reinstall rom"
This app fixed it!
https://market.android.com/details?id=se.curity.android.screenlockbypass
Just make sure you follow the instructions, you have to install the app, than install any other random app and BAM- unlocked phone! Sweet

[Q] Disable Touch To Wake

Is there a way to disable touch to wake on my LG G Watch R?
I like to cross my arms and when wearing a t-shirt it constantly wakes the screen.
I want to avoid Theatre Mode as I want to be able to glance at the screen and see the time.
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I am also searching for this:good:

I've been looking everywhere for a solution to this. I hasn't even considered it as an issue, but just a couple of days is enough to make me realise this is a requirement. I can't believe it didn't come up in development! Aside from your own accidental touches, there's also the issue of inquisitive fingers from children touching that nice shiny screen... Tapping the side button to wake the screen would be perfect (whilst retaining the monochrome screen and notifications).

Cinema mode is really dumb. Just very poorly thought out. There has got to be a way to disable touch to wake. Or even enable vibrating notifications in cinema mode.

Yes there is a way
First you have to install twrp on your watch. Because you need the acces to some files. When you have installed, start in recovery mode, and go to mount and press system. Connect your watch to your computer and open adb,
adb root
adb push /system/usr/idc/sec_touchscreen.idc <choose where you want to have the file in your pc>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Make a copy of the file, and open it with notepad++ or other file editor. YOU will se a think like this

So remove the part of ( touch.wake = 1 ) and save (make first a copy of the file), Go to adb
adb pull <where you have the file> /system/usr/idc/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Restat the watch and you will se that the screen is not goin to turn off, pressing the button of your watch. Restart other time the watch and go to recovery.
With the copy of the file, mount other time system on twrp and go to adb
adb pull <where you have the copy> /system/usr/idc/

Restart the watch other time. This work for my, but i am using an alpha for gear 2 neo with android, so probably this might be a bug.

After you restart the second time you can use the button to wake and not the touch screen?? I will try this then thank you.

Yep you can use it to wake up the device. But as I say, make a backup because this happen with my alpha of the gear 2 neo, so probably this is not going to work with other devices. Just in case xD

Works for me on LG G Watch R
The file name is different "synaptics_rmi4_i2c.idc"
Same edit, copied to sdcard and moved in recovery to /system/usr/idc/ as mentioned above.
I have swipe menu still available and I can swipe down for the quick toggles.
Button is used to wake (and I use screen always on)
Going to be interesting how this performs in the shower and in general. Thanks to the suggestion posted.

Any update on this after using it for a while? Looking to apply this to my LG G watch R running the Urbane port.

Ok well i tried it any ways and i still have the problem when my arms are crossed my arm starts doing things on my watch...

Starting from version 1.6 this app supports wake on touch changing - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sssemil.advancedsettings (here is apk - View attachment AdvancedSettings-v1.6-11.apk)

I downloaded the advanced settings app tried the disable touch wake... it doesn't wake but you can still scroll notifications and long press to change the face.
Any chance of completely turning off the touch screen while in sleep...

I tried the Advanced Settings app on my LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition with Android 6.0.1, which is not rooted. It has an option for "Touch to wake screen" that I tried to set to "off"; however, when I go back to look at it, it is always set to "on". Do I need to root to have this stay, or is the app just not compatible with 6.0.1?
Update... just answered my own question. It appears you need to be rooted to do this.

Yep, it works on Marshmallow 6.0.1 when Rooted. Just tested it on my Huawei Watch.

..

I installed "Showear". You can set a simple touch pattern to unlock the watch. Crossing your arms will no longer trigger any action on your watch (except making the screen on).

..

Hi m8. I've done this on my LG urbane and works just fine ty a lot... but i modified a little your steps...
1) My lg urbane is rooted
2) I went to the ADB folder in my PC (using windows explorer) then using shift+right click i select "open command window here"
3) in this command window i did:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery (starts twrp)
in the TWRP:
Go to "Mount"
tick the "system" box
In the command window :
adb pull /system/usr/idc/synaptics_rmi4_i2c.idc (Dont need to select the folder, will appear in the ADB folder used to open the command window)***
*** When i tried to write the destination folder have not worked so i strongly advise not to fill this part, the command in the beginning is PULL not PUSH to take from the device and the file to be taken from the device had a different name as someone have stated before ***
4) In the notepad i did
I opened the file with the notepad and edit "touch.wake = 1" to "touch.wake = 0" (I did not delete this part just change the value)
5) in the command window:
adb pull <where you have the file> /system/usr/idc/
6) Reset my phone and works great!

Is it possible to deinstall the Lockscreen on HD 10?

So the Lockscreen on my new HD 10 is pretty garbage, so far I've managed to get rid of the ads, but I can't change the Lockscreen wallpaper and I don't get any preview of a notification (e.g. the mail subject etc.)
Is there a workaround for those problems? Because simply isntalling a new lockscreen app, just makes me unlock my tablet twice, which isn't ideal.

Did you manually disable com.amazon.kindle.kso (special offers/lockscreen ads) over ADB in fire os 5.4.0.0 or lower using the method DragonFire1024 posted? If so, then yes, I found a fix that allows you to see notifications on the lockscreen without swiping down, more like the stock Android 5.x lockscreen.

Well, I don't know if this will work with your exact tablet, but try this:
1. If you haven't already, get the Google Play store/services on your tablet
2. Download this app without the quotes: "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by4a.setedit22&hl=en"
3. Follow on-screen instructions to grant tablet permission to edit secure settings (worked on 2 devices on 5.6)
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU EDIT. If you change the wrong settings, your tablet can and probably bootloop or get bricked.
4. Go to the "secure" tab, scroll down to "limit_ad_tracking" and change value to 1
5. Go to "global" tab, scroll down to "LOCKSCREEN_AD_ENABLED" and change value to 0. Immediately reboot your device.
This was tested and worked on two HD 8 tablets on 5.6, with special offers manually disabled on 5.4. Since Amazon still thinks you are subscribed to special offers (ads), the notifications are hidden. This workaround actually makes the ads gone (hopefully), so the notifications will appear as soon as you turn on the screen, without a swipe down gesture.

Open up command prompt. Type in "adb shell", Then type in "su"
Then copy this into command prompt.
sqlite3 /data/system/locksettings.db "UPDATE locksettings SET value = '1' WHERE name = 'lockscreen.disabled'"
You will not get a confirmation, now type "exit", then type "reboot".
Let the device reboot and enjoy! Now install a new lockscreen.
Want it back?

Personally, I'd suggest just rooting it and disabling it. I did it a few months ago on my Dad's HD10 by following one of the guides here- I just can't remember which one, but it was simple. I also installed Gravity Screen Pro since I have his set up more like a laptop. The screen turns on/off when opened/ closed without ever having to see a lock screen. I might stop by my parents today (depending on the weather) and if i do, I'll try to trace my steps and link the guide I followed

I love all your posts- it's your guide I followed to disable the lockscreen. Unfortunately, Xposed is a bit much for a "noob" like me. I attempted to install it and got caught in a bootloop and had to do a factory reset. Considering what my dad uses it for, the negatives far outway the positives for me to bother with Xposed ever again

Display automatically turns yellow at fixed timing.

Every night from 11pm to 6am, my device screen turns itself into night mode(yellow tint). I have set Reading Mode off since the day I bought. Back in previous device(Redmi Note 4, mido) I had Pixel Experience ROM installed. In that I had turned on night mode with the same timing(11pm to 6am). Did Google restored this setting too? I want to turn it off in my K20 device.
Need help!
Redmi K20 Indian version.

I'm having the same issue on my k20. At sunset(~6:30), even though my reading mode settings are off, the display becomes warm/yellow. Can't seem to fix it. Have you managed to solve your issue?

This happens when all your old phone settings synced with your new mobile while setting it up. anyway you may not be aware of that while setting it up.
Here's the solution:-
Download system ui tuner from the playstore.
Give it the permissions it need using command prompt.
You can see some new options in your notification panel which is 'night mode' at click it when the yellow light turn's on.

Turn off the reading mode?
I have no problems here at night. Its only "warm" when its turned on. Maybe you could turn off the time settings also?

Run these commands in adb
Code:
adb shell 'settings list secure
You will see many device settings in which you need to modify Night display and then run these commands.
Code:
adb shell 'settings put secure night_display_activated 0'
adb shell 'settings put secure night_display_auto_mode 0'
That's it, it will turn off permanently.

Any update please
Are you fix this issue please feed me back?

I confirm this too, its warm but not like read mode. It's just more warm
Edit : try with stable xiaomi.eu ans turn yellow at 10pm without read mode activated...

Impossible for me, have :
Security exception: grantRuntimePermission: Neither user 2000 nor current process has android.permission.GRANT_RUNTIME_PERMISSIONS
EDIT : It's ok ! just dont have turn all 3 usb debugging options on for miui

Digital wellbeing under settings. Turn wind down off.

When I was on Pixel Experience and returned to MIUI, this yellow screen issue begin.
To run this commands, it's necessary to enable "USB debugging (Security settings)" in developer settings (as I saw on Stackoverflow).

The only way I think it's use another phone with stock android or install Pixel Experience, and revogue the Night Mode from stock android. After a time, when Google account sync , when you return to MIUI this issue probably won't happen again.
