[Q] Carbon Lockscreen Targets - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using Carbon ROM (Unofficial 20140107-2007) on my Verizon LG G2 and can't change any of the lock screen targets. Am I missing something here? I tried searching as well and either couldn't find the right key words or there wasn't anything, and since I am a noob couldn't post in the ROM thread. Anyone got any advice?
So far it's an awesome ROM, love everything about it, and will love it even more when the menu buttons can be altered.

Is the option in there or you just can't find it? If its there it might just be a bug. I think they just implemented that in the last few days so it might be a bit quirky.

The options are there for me to change them, but no matter what I select, it stays "empty". I am actually using Cover lockscreen for now until the company forces me to put a passcode to lock my device.

[BUG] DCv2.05: Pressing menu twice to unlock screen pops up menu on homescreen

Has anyone found a fix for this yet? Only issue I've found thus far with the ROM. Otherwise, it's great!
Doesnt do that for me...
It does for me on the newest Fresh ROM. Doesn't really bother me being that I rarely unlock the screen that way. If I had someway to disable that method of unlocking alltogether, that would be better IMO.

I think it is a result of using the HTC Lockscreen rather than the stock Android one.
This happens on the Fresh 2.0d and DC2.05
It is driving me NUTS!
Any idea how to fix this?
Installing Espresso or DROID launcher from this thread will fix it:

have you tried pressing menu once?
I'm almost positive that this has always been a feature of the HTC lock screen even in 1.5
If you don't fully slide the lock screen a message will appear stating either fully slide down the screen or press menu

That's hardly a "fix". That's like saying you can fix the low tire on your Porsche by buying a Yugo....
I would pay cash money for a ROM that got rid of the double menu press to unlock.

I would say the issue is hardly a "bug".
But, if you want it fixed, I've given you an option. I don't know if I'd compare installing the espresso launchbar or DROID launchbar to downgrading from a Porsche to a Yugo.... but, if you were really interested in fixing the issue without using espresso or DROID, you could install one of those launchers and then reinstall the stock launcher and see if the problem stays away.
Or, you could wait until someone else figures it out for you....
All I know is that I am running DamageControl v2.05 and no longer have the menu pop-up issue.
Droid launcher does resolve that issue. I have come to like the style of it for now until the next version of this rom comes out. This is an issue with flipz rom as well. The Droid launcher works good on each rom.
Just to everyone is clear, the problem is new with the recent roms DC and Fresh.
Pressing menu once brings up the lockscreen, pressing menu again unlocks the screen AND brings up the white menu popoup. It should only unlock the screen and not open the menu.
I have installed the black droid launcher onto fresh and I no longer have the problem.
yea i have teh same problem, and its annoying as hell as thats usually the way im used to unlocking my phone, and what they mean is, click home once to wake up phone, click again to unlock and it also brings up the home menu, it never did it on any other rom. its annoying

Just to be clearer. This was a built-in function from 1.5, its on page 10 of the Sprint manual. HTC considers this to be a feature, not a bug.

Incorrect. On stock 1.5, from the lock screen, you could press menu to unlock instead of swipe. Now, if you press menu from the lock screen, it will unlock AND pull up the menu.
Regardless of whether this is a feature or a bug, it was not like this in stock 1.5.

[Q] Possible to move soft keys yet?

I have seen several posts with this question, but none with answers. Has anyone found a way to move the soft keys to one side or another? I keep hitting them when I type (did it while typing this ironically). Never did make sense to me to have a touch sensitive home button right underneath one of the most often used buttons on the typing board. In any case, I have scoured the net looking for an answer and can't find one. Any know if I missed it somewhere? Thanks in advance.
Try a tablet mod ROM, it has the navigation keys bunched up in the bottom left corner. Hope this helps.
Where?
Appreciate the info. Where do I find that one? I have seen a lot of different ROMs for N7, but nothing denoted as "tablet ROM" and none that have mentioned moving the soft keys as a feature.

Sorry for the n00b questions, but this is my first tablet...where do I change that? I have looked though the settings and have not seen a place to do that. I am running a rooted but (almost) stock ROM. (Manually loaded 4.1.2) And will that change the rest of the viewing area?

Lazarus there is alternatives as well. Team EOS rom allows you to completely hide the softkey interface. I eventually went with gmd gesture control which allows you to hide/show the keys at the flick of your hand, as well as much, much more.
Try the lite version here

This looks like an awesome little app. But I don't see where to hide the nav bar. Is that one of the Pro features? (It is a sweet little app either way.)

This sends me back to JB 4.1.1 though doesn't it? I have already upgraded to 4.1.2 (Though at this point I could not tell you what the difference is other than home screen rotation.) I didn't know 4.1.1 well enough to know it. Only had the tablet a few days.

Might be, it definitely is available in the pro version though.

PIE Inhibiting Bottom of Screen

I flashed PAC onto my Galaxy Note 10.1 just a few days ago when I ran across the PIE section in the settings, as I started toying with it I fell in love with how the nav bar was no longer hanging around the bottom all of the time, and I certainly liked PIE's interface better. However, ever since I started using the bottom 1/2 inch (interestingly about the size of the nav bar) hasn't been responsive to any touch input other than PIE. For example, if I was typing something, only the top of the spacebar would recognize a touch as a space, but the other, bottommost part would still operate if I swiped up to reveal PIE.
Is anyone aware of a fix to this problem, or is it just a tradeoff of having PIE, and this is just the way it is?
--John Galt from my GT-N8013
You can disable pie from the settings menu. You should also consider upgrading to 4.4 as JB is no longer receiving updates.
Well I know that I can disable PIE, but I want to know if the bottom of the screen not being functional is just something I have to deal with or if there is something that I can do about it.
I'm not aware of a 4.4 update for PAC for my device. I'm willing to try a nightly release, but I'm not sure how to tell what version a ROM is from the name of the .zip.
For example, what version is: pac_n8013-nightly-20140122.zip ? I can't anything except for "pac", "n8013" (my model no.), "nightly", and "2014".
The "0122" I'm not sure of.

You can move the pie trigger to the side of the screen to see if you get the full touch screen back...
0122 is the date of the nightly build. Up to 0128 is 4.3 and from 0303 will be PAC-4.4
Sent from my ST18i using Tapatalk
Thank you for the clarification. I could be missing something, but there are no ROMs that have any release after 0128 (which I have now) for my device.
Seems like I'll have to wait for an update to roll around, but until then I'll keep playing with the settings and see if perhaps I have something not set properly.

Hybrid Properties
As I was thinking about the correlation between this problem and the nav bar, I realized that the nav bar was likely still active, but not visible because I clicked on the PIE fullscreen button in the quick settings. So I went to Hybrid Properties, clicked on interface, and set the "Nav. bar" slider to 0%, and clicked Apply. When that didn't work, I went back to that screen and found that the Nav. bar slider was all the way back at 100%. I've tried several times to get this to work, including adjusting the "Size" slider, clicking "Tablet UI" in the Launch screen and applying that, but nothing has stopped that slider from returning to it's default setting. Anyone know why this might be?

[Q] After Lollipop Leaked update Quick Settings Panel / Option missing totally

Hi All,
I updated leaked lollipop 5.0 version my Note 3, 9005 exactly like guidelines told here (this forum is heaven on earth, thanks), everything seems to went well, except a "little" issues what i found: I don´t have screen pinning option and multiple users option (found that i´m not the only one), but the biggest issue which i found that - what the heck - I dont have quick settings panel at all and didn´t find any thread considering this kind of issue .
And yes, I do know how to use a phone Believe me, it just isn´t there, I thought also myself that this girl has lost her brains when i try to swipe and do all the magic tricks hoping to find the mystic panel. But no.
Please could Somebody help me on this one. :good:
Thanks A lot!
Satu
That's extremely weird! You mean the the five icons which you get by pulling down with one finger on status bar right? So what are you getting when you pull down, nothing?
Did you make a full wipe before flashing the ROM?
Well, nothing. It looks exactly as it was previous version 4.4x.
Except those "S finder" and "quick connection" buttons, see picture. What i have seen, the panel not suppose to look like this, see picture?
Is this weird or maybe it´s me?
And these were the guidelines what I´ve followed when i updated my phone. Step by step.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/guide-t2983873
I´m not blaming the guides, just trying to give something what could help you to figure this out.
Thanks,
Satu
And sorry, I have quick settings but it's not looking as it should, is this right?
Really, nobody?
OIs there a change that someone could help me?
Should I do this again, and what is the best way?
Please
Satu
If that screenshot is how you are having the quick settings panel then its normal and that's how it looks on LP.
Okei, then I'm just stupid. I'm sorry. I thought it is grey and something wonderful and amazing new feature, it looks exactly same as before (kitkat).
I'm sorry.
Satu
I thought the same
There was supposed to be a special tab when you use two fingers to swipe from the top screen and have the ability to turn on flashlight and switch users. I don't have it either. How do you switch users? Go in guest mode?
Yes, exactly same here.
Although I don't have a guest mode at all and no silence mode (icon) anywhere so I think this failed.

Lockscreen won't stay in landscape for pattern.

Hey! I just rooted my Oneplus6T, installed Nova Launcher and a screen rotation controller app, but I still can't keep the lockscreen in Landscape mode.
I double tap to wake the phone, it comes up landscape, I swipe up, but then the screen always rotates to portrait for the pattern (or the PIN, I tried that as well).
I've already altered the build.prop file, but it still hops to portrait every time. Is there anything I can do to fix it?
I tried a lockscreen replacement called "Hi Locker", and while it worked, you could just get right through it to the home page and do stuff, so it's not secure at all.
Thanks!
I just tried Substratum "Subtweaks" and it doesn't work either! Help!
So everyone else's phone stays in landscape when they enter their pattern to unlock?
Seriously, it would help if I knew this was JUST my problem. Might help me figure it out. Thanks!
Well, I'm glad to have joined such a robust, supportive community. :\
Pretty sure the lockscreen is only portrait. Why anyone would want it in landscape is beyond me, probably why it's not there at all.

Every time I want to unlock my phone in the car, I have to do it sideways. I used a Note 3 that gave me a Landscape Mode Lockscreen for years, so it's certainly possible. I much prefer it, and I would like it on the Oneplus 6T, please.
And thank you, Bladestonez, for responding to my question, even if it was just to imply that it was ridiculous. Never settle! :\

You can always flash an aosp rom. I'm pretty sure aosp has lock screen rotation, you will however you'll loose the fingerprint scanner but it appears you don't use that anyway so might be a good option. Could also suggest lockscreen rotation as a feature for future builds of oos.

Hey! Thank you. I root to block ads and back stuff up, not to start installing custom roms, so I may just wait and see if they can add it officially. I did a little dance recently when I was able to install the latest OTA with Magisk without losing root. That's about as far as I want to push stuff like that.
I DID try the build.prop code, and while it does make the "swipe up" screen Landscape, when I do swipe up, the "pattern dots" screen rotates to Portrait.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqMiWAlAaUI
It's not a deal-breaker, it's just stupid. As well as my Note 3, every tablet I've ever had has given me a Landscape Lockscreen, so it can't be THAT hard. They probably just decided no one wanted it and didn't include it (or inadvertently disabled it), I guess.
If anyone has any other ideas, I'm all ears. Otherwise, I've already been in touch with Oneplus and I think they put it on the wishlist for me. Gonna start holding my breath... NOW.

Yes, I know my case is the opposite, but you can use the same app.
My case:
Today I have noticed that on lockscreen the screen is rotating what did not happen before. I have tried several Rotating apps but none of them could block rotating of the screen while on lockscreen.
Lastly I managed to force it to portrait mode with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pranavpandey.rotation
In the Settings - Conditions - Lock Orientation - it has to be set to Autorotation OFF then it works. When I set it to Portrait it doesn't.
So in your case you could try setting it to Force Rotation or Landscape.
