[REQ] Flashlight/Torch from lockscreen - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am coming from an iPhone and have just switched to the S5, loving it so far.
One thing that I am missing is the ability to switch on the flashlight from the lockscreen without unlocking the phone, like it can be done with the iphone.
Is there a tweak/widget for the lockscreen that I can install? I don't want to use Xposed, as it breaks s-health.
TIA,
dirk

I can't help you with your specific problem but i have installed xposed Framework on my rooted 900F and s-health runs. Dunno... Hm. I have disabled knox so far.

No, doesnt work. As you are from Germany, I think may I ask which firmware you are on? As I have a T-Mobile branded phone but have flashed the EUR firmware.

This is not what I want, as for unlocking the device I then need to press power, swipe up to unlock and then swipe again to read my fingerprint.
I just would like a button on my touchwiz lockscreen for the flashlight. There must be a way to get widgets on toouchwiz, as the IR Remote app can show the widget for the remote,

Is this what you're looking for?!

He don't want to use xposed as it breaks s-health. from what I can tell though my s-health works fine with xposed as long you keep to stock version not the updated s-health

[Q] Wallpaper changes on reboot after installing Xposed

I just installed Xposed (Greenify, GravityBox, and G2 Exposed modules) and have noticed that each time I reboot, the homescreen wallpaper changes to some default LG wallpaper. Anyone else have this problem? I"m getting tired of changing it back to what I want. The lockscreen wallpaper doesn't change, btw.
Actually, GravityBox isn't even working correctly right now, but this wallpaper issue existed when I got the other two modules before it.

Maybe clear cache and davlik in recovery....for lock screen wallpaper try using gravitybox to put a image on

Most probably you are greenifying what you shouldn't.
Check if you are not having in your greenified apps something that could have to do something with the wallpaper. (System UI parts, live wallpaper things, lwp etc...)

Can't get GravityBox to work yet. How did you get it to work? Lockscreen wallpaper isn't an issue, though.

I turned off Greenify module and still same issue. What's funny is that I got Greenify app before I had Xposed ( didn't even know what it was until recently).

Greenify works without xposed. Uninstall it and reboot and reboot.
Many apps are like this...
Changes persistent after unticking them...

Hey it worked! Hmm so does that mean I can't use Greenify then? Before I only selected apps and nothing regarding System UI parts.

Ah right. Ok.
So if Greenify doesn't require Xposed to work, that means I don't have to activate it in Xposed?

Well it will can work evoking the root rights, but I think not all of the functions will work from it. Would be better have it still in the Xposed.
Just find the culprit app and degreenify it.

Actually I don't think the problem is really Greenify.
I installed it again, changed nothing (ie did no activate in Xposed or hibernate apps), rebooted, and saw that same default wallpaper come up. Then I opened up an app (Facebook) and the wallpaper I wanted re-appeared. Not sure what's going on, but opening up an app seems to set things straight.

[Q][KK-Stock] Disable Navigation and enable Pie Control [SOLVED]

Does anybody know how to get rid of this "Slide Up Menu" (Navigation Bar Ring)?
I want to use my LMT pie control, but this thing mapped bottom area for self. I cannot find any settings for it and I have no idea from which app it comes from yet.
(Please ignore that black rectangle at then bottom of screenshot, it is not related to it)
Edit: I solved it by creating own Xposed mod.
I have another question regarding this. Sorry for hijacking.
Is it possible to add your own shortcuts to this Slide up? And remove Google?
Thank you!

It's probably possible, it would just take some work. Check out Slide Launcher, it does what you want.

Well, looks like there is no setting for it. At least nobody replied.
I begin to look into source code and I will do Xposed mod for it. Begin with disable it. Manage shortcuts should be possible too.
Have you guys tried this out?

Don't think that would work, because it doesn't disable ring but just replaces it with app that does nothing. This annoying ring is only reason why I don't move to stock kitkat roms.. Can't use pie.

Word.
We really need a fix for this.
Progress Update
I made Xposed mod and get rid of this navigation ring (search ring) now.
However LMT still not works, at least not everytime. I got few times luck, but mostly no reaction.
What do you guys using for Pie control? LMT as well?

Well I managed to disable ring with g2 tweakbox xposed. But it was same as you describe, pie works rarely from bottom screen border. Tried Lmt and pie in gravity box.

Success !!!!
Finally I made it work! :victory:
Now I have:
- hidden navigation bar
- disabled navigation ring
- LMT works perfect from the bottom on 100%
I made own Xposed mod to fix that.
I guess I don't need to ask if you guys want it as well, right?
Please wait one more day. I will clean it up and release new mod for you.
LG Pie Support
Xposed mod released to Xposed Repository. I created new thread in development section as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2689890

Don't rotate after some Xposed modules

Hi
I have a problem with rotate screen.
I installed wannam and gravity box xposed modules. I activated that can rotate on lock screen and (in other menu) want to rotate in any direction, also inverted.
I think it was at that moment but I am not 100% sure.
I tried to disable all xposed modules, but the problem is still there.
Before to factory reset... What can I do?
Thanks

Yes some of them. Why?
I saw that autorotate only works on camera apps, not only samsung's camera app, also works on procapture or evernote camera.
But no other app on my phone autorotate

Because the landscape mode is connected to Samsung Hub, and when you uninstall it, the function doesn't work anymore.

Lockscreen widgets ? Alternative lockscreen ?

Hey guys !
I keep customizing my S7 edge, but there is 1 thing I couldn't customize yet : The lockscreen
With my former phone (LG G3), I tried many alternatives lockscreen, but they all had problems (battery drain, not fast enough, some lags, not fluent, etc...).
I'd like to make my lockscreen more alive, with useful informations on it. And I use fingerprint unlock.
So here is my question : Do you know a way to make it work ? A good xposed module working with touchwiz ? Or a good lockscreen app ?
Thanks, have a great day

Have you had a go with good lock from the Samsung store. It's pretty good at being customized.

Yes there is ! In routine's setup when you choose the clock style swipe to the top and ull find a way to add a widget
Yeah, go to routines, and clock and swipe to top, you can add one widget. I personally like the worded clock. You can also add widgets for when you swipe down for notifications.

lockscreen problems

Since yesterday the fingerprint for the lockscreen doesn't work anymore. Tried several options from Google to get it working again. Nope. Also the other lockscreen safety options just do nothing: pincode, pattern. Nothing works. These options only work once, when I shut the phone down completly. Once started again, all the options to lock the lockscreen do not work. I can just swipe, whatever option I have installed for the lockscreen. Anybody else with these problems? And what can I do about it?
Sounds like you have smart lock enabled.
