[Q] Keep app stay open after turning screen off. - Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I'm trying to help a guy building an disc golf score input app for Android Wear to find a solution to force the app to stay open/in front while active. This to save battery, so you can turn off the screen between holes/baskets and when waking the screen the app is there again.
Now every time the screen goes off you will get back to the watch face when waking it up. Then you need to navigate back to the app to be able to continue your score input. This make it all inconvenient.
The same goes for example Google Keep. If you have a grocery list you use while shopping you want to go right back to the list. Today you must turn on the screen, go into your launcher, and re-enter the app, not really convenient right?
Anyone good at this stuff, and have any idea how to code this right?

Within your own app:
https://developer.android.com/training/scheduling/wakelock.html
android:keepScreenOn="true"
But you can just do this with another app:
Pin An App for A.W.
Bubble Launcher

Thanks man! "Pin an app for A.W" is a good workaround for now. It made it faster to access the app, but still I only get to the app "homescreen".
//Soren

I already tried to make such feature, simply using WAKE_LOCK and I had the same issue (will have to check again).
I did not make any new attempt to solve this (in standby ), but I think that we should do this with handled app that keeps WAKE_LOCK and run/update android wear app when you turn on watch screen.

How to achieve these customizations?

Verizon S5 with towelroot, Safestrap, nandroid backup, Titanium Backup, Xposed, Wanam
I've made some progress debloating and customizing, but there are some more things I'd like to do:
1. Remove Quick Settings from notification panel - In landscape view, there is simply not enough screen real estate for the actual notifications because the Quick Settings (and 'clear notifications' row) take up half the screen. I would like to remove them or have them scroll up and off screen when scrolling through notifications. Can this even be done with a custom ROM?
2. Tether without pin lock screen. [updated] FoxFi worked fine for me unrooted, except that I had to use the PIN lockscreen. The instruction on PdaNet's site (change certificate to Wi-fi, etc.) did not work. I eventually found X Tether. Once installed, it shows up as Moto Tether. It seems to allow the native WiFi hotspot to work on its own, but I haven't used it much yet. The easiest way I have found to turn it on/off, is using a widget. I haven't been able to put the widget in an app folder, which I would prefer.
3. Minimal notification panel - figured this one out.
4. Bypass Samsung lockscreen before DynamicNotifications - Not sure if this is possible. Sometime, when I turn the phone on, it goes to the stock lock screen before switching to DynamicNotifications. I saw that DynamicNotifications shows up as a module in Xposed, but it just said something about disabling a message that I don't recall getting.
5. A better dialer and contacts - any recommendations on getting solid, vanilla-like Dialer and Contacts? I tried a couple apps from the Play Store, but they were kind of sloppy in one way or another.
6. No auto play music when turning on radio in car - When I turn on my bluetooth receiver in the car, the last track always starts playing - even if I paused it before I turned off the car last. I kind of wish it would only continue playing if it was playing when the receiver was disconnected. Not a big deal, but thought I'd ask.
7. Update phone when checking exchange emails on computer - When I read, archive, delete, etc. emails in Outlook, they continue to pile up in Email app until I open the email app. Seems like my Galaxy Nexus didn't do that.
8. Remove TouchWiz blue from everything - all the menus and apps still have that Samsung blue theme. I'm not sure how to remove that.
9. Reduce icons on notification bar - I would like to remove the Bluetooth icon. There is a blank icon when I use Rotation Locker in the background to keep everything landscape while I'm in the car. It looks bad having the space between icons and I'd like to get rid of it. There is a battery icon that appears when the battery is charged. I'd like to remove that as well.
10. Make folders only one icon on display - figured this one out.
11. Remove battery icon that appears when S5 is fully charged - There is a white battery with "100" on it that appears when the battery is charged. That makes 3 battery icons total when it's charged. Ridiculous!
12. Disable camera shutter sound and boot sound - Wanam has a setting for this. I have it checked, but the camera and boot still make their sounds.
Edit: added another.
Edit2: and another

Do you really think what I am asking is too unreasonable?
Is this the best thread for these questions? I figured at least a few would have gotten answers.
Not sure about the boot sound but I use Automateit to silence the shutter sound. I have it set to silence the phone when opening the camera and then it returns the phone to full volume when I close it. If the phone is on silent it doesn't make the shutter sound.

Yeah, I guess I'll just use Tasker to do that. Would be nice if the Wanam option worked though.
Also you can turn off the percentage in settings-battery. It's near the top

I guess I don't see XDA as a place to come and post a wish list of features I would like to have. I approach it as a place where devs share their work. I limit my questions to things like 'does anyone know if their is a ROM that does xy or z'
Since I'm an end-user by which I mean I don't code, I stay super respectful of those who do and live by the motto 'read more and post less'. While I think it has grown from its roots, it is first and foremost a forum for devs and technically knowledgeable people, and/or people with a genuine desire to become that. I'm just a guest. I'd never go to someone's party with a list of the foods I want prepared.
Anyway that's how I see it, and how I approach the site.
Though I do see now that apparently you are working on doing some themeing so take the above for whatever it is worth.

That's essentially what I did. I spent time searching, reading, and learning as far as I could without help. I was able to accomplish some on my own, but I ended up with a list of things I still wanted to do. So, I put them all in one post.
If you wouldn't use the "Q&A/Help" section to post questions like I do, that's fine. I have used many forums for many years, and I know that different people use them for a variety of reasons. I'm not going to spend any more time justifying my post. I hope that you can find a better use of your time beyond complaining about other people's posts.
Dude you asked if you you had asked for too much. I replied about how 'I' view being on XDA. No on asked you to justify anything. But consider it dropped.

I was able to change the lock screen options back to all being available for selection with FoxFi in use by doing the Lock the phone from Device Manager on Google.

Enable / Disable fingerprint lock screen quickly via app or widget

I like to leave my phone unlocked 90% of the time.
Does anyone know if there's an exposed module out there that will let me quickly toggle between the swipe (or no lock screen) and the fingerprint lock screen?
Doing it through setting is a PITA when you've got to enter your alternate password every time.
I would like to just be able to lock the phone on a one time basis.
That's a nice idea. May be someone will make it in future..
But for now I think, there's no app or mod available yet.
I think the no lock home xposed module may be suitable for you but it cannot be set to time ulnock only wifi connection, bluetooth device or cell signal. I hope I could help.

Hello,
It's not what you need but a good alternative is to use FingerSecurity from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...fingersecurity-fingerprint-lock-apps-t2818896
which has a widget on/off.
You can set any app to protect (settings as well) by fingerprint security and just active protection by widget.
So your phone won't be locked, but any app of your choice will
Best regards
Franky
someone mentioned before about nfc wearable's for locking and unlock the ngc rings are pretty cheap
would this help:

This is the closets thing I've found that works. Just wish there was a way to "select all" instead of locking app by app.
The location or NFC ones don't work for me...

You really don't need to secure all apps.
Settings, gallery, sms, mail, file manager, all that can explore your phone, really easy to do.

It's a viable solution, just not the most elegant.
I would rather lock the whole phone, but this does the job for now.
Wonder how hard it would be to make something like that?

In fact, I'm really stupid.
The solution you need is here, in front of us
Just protect your home launcher by fingerprints, and use widget on/off on home screen.
When active, and when you'll screen on, your launcher will be protected, so your phone will be "locked"
(Only thing you need to do is to come back on home screen before screen off, if not, last open app will appear if not protected.)

Question: screen overlay detected... How do I fix it?

Hi,
I am trying to use Waze on my phone, but the app won't open as it keeps saying screen overlay detected. I have gone into my settings and turned off the overlay for all the apps apart from the system apps. But it is still not working.
I have tried searching on Google, and don't have any of the apps installed like twilight, luxe or Facebook which are supposed to be causing the problem.
Any other suggestions on how to fix it?
Cheers

Screen Balance (which adjusts screen colour balance/tint) and which I recommended in another thread creates an overlay.
Certain apps will not function properly unless SB is turned off.

It's not a stock app it's a downloaded app from the play store.
I usually turn off off all the apps using it and turn it on after... It's a frustrating issue but what are you going to do.
If it's bothering you find a good Rom, for example Superman Rom, Overlays was removed as it's too much if s hassle

It has nothing to do with any of that, it's Google's fault. You can flash a fix which is in Phoenix rom thread or go back to a previous stock rom

Sorry, I didn't make myself very clear. Screen Balance is an app, separate to the UI's adjustments.
I had the same overlay issue,what I did that Ive disabled all the apps altogether,and switched them on back one by one,discovered that an application called Swipe Home Button Ive installed was responsible,so I have uninstalled after which everything was normal.
Is it safe to turn off the overlay for the system installed apps? I have turned off the overlay for all other apps that I have installed
The app that was causing me this problem after this weekend's AT&T software update was Bing. I Uninstalled it and all was fine.
How I finally fixed the "Screen Overlay" problem on my S7 edge.
The easiest fix, only full fix, I have found is as follows. When the screen overlay screen opens in settings, just turn everything marked on to off. Which by the way is the only thing you can do on this screen. Since I did all my apps, even the ones that weren't working, are working as they should. Hope this helps someone.
As Richie and Monigote stated, flash the screen overlay fix from Phoenix ROM. LoL pay attention please
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-...s-hybrid-s7e-urv1-00-00-t3357561/post68010406
even when I tried to turn overlay off for all apps mine still was going wrong and I couldn´t use some apps...the only way I got this fixed was making a reset (from the configs options it self) from all my configurations, just configurations, not all data in the phone, it works fine for now...
now I´m with problem with my mobile data connection, I don´t know if it´s from my brand or my phone...

The message about overlay detected i have seen and experienced a number of times.
BUT the only time this has occurred is when i was using SideSync
i.e. I am using it to Remote control the device using my PC
or am using my PC to display my Phone within my PC screen (So i can use my phone while using the PC)
The warning was being presented by some apps because SideSync was overlaying the screen to mirror it to my PC screen)
As soon as i disconnected this message stopped.
Not am not saying your using SideSync, But any other app you have installed that can mirror / allow remote access or displaying your phone screen on another device like PC may be causing the problem

Camera Watermark Setting

I finally got around to poking at the camera software on the A7 and noticed a Watermark option. Oddly enough, when I try to flip the switch it doesn't turn on. Is anyone else having this issue or know what I'm doing wrong?
Works for me, and it puts the date and the text "by AXON" in the bottom right corner of the photo.
Puts the date but allows me to input whatever title I want with a subtitle and to set whatever colour I want...
I have the Chinese Axon 7, 4gb ram 128gb rom.
It finally started working for me. No idea why it wouldn't previously.
And now it's not working again. I also had the camera app freeze on me and had to reboot my phone.
So it turns out that if you open the camera app from the lock screen, you can't enable and disable the watermark. But if you open it from the app drawer you can.

2nd Screen Questions

Is there a way to have the date/time (and maybe battery %) on the 2nd screen when the screen is *on* ? I can only see if as an option when it's off.
I also tried the music controls, but while it shows Spotify the controls don't work for me.
And dangit, I still can't put a Phone shortcut (not an app shortcut) on the favorites (a Folder Organizer shortcut in my case pointing to a folder of apps).

While the display is on, time, date, and battery percent is kinda useless on the second screen. I don't see the options. While the main display is off, its a good idea, and that's why LG made it available.
Spotify works great for me with the main screen off and on.
You cannot move the info to the second screen unless you're viewing something like media or playing some games. To put a shortcut up on the second screen you'll need to leave one shortcut blank, and then create a shortcut of your choice to the home screen and drag it up to the second screen and drop it. You cannot put entire folders on the second screen though.

I have a few apps that run in full screen (like Kindle*) where I'd like to be able to put up the date/time. Not sure why LG *wouldn't* give us the option to have it there if we wanted it. I mean, to me, the signature thing is just silly, but I realize that some people may like it.
Will try a reboot shortly to see if Spotify kicks in.
I know I'm only 1/2 a day into the phone, but so far the 2nd screen isn't doing what I imagined it would. I'l also pretty disappointed in how notifications work on it. Would like to have the entire bar be the notification w/summary & just stay there until I dismiss it.
Likewise, when the phone is off and I get a notification, I just see an icon. There a way to get a summary or something without turning the phone on, or should I go back to Dynamic Notifications (the app) ?
While not the only factor, the 2nd screen was the main reason I picked the LG over the Pixel XL.
*Kindle - I haven't checked in a while to see if there is a way to disable full screen. Need to check settings for it.

I agree. I would rather take the date and time than the signature.
LG should set a limit with the 2nd screen display. My 2nd display gives me a short summary of my notification with screen on or off for a second or two.
Your spotify issue isn't related to the phone its the latest version that has a crapload of bugs I suggest downgrading to 6.2 to fix it. It isn't the phone, try pandora or google music and you'll find they work fine.
Follow these steps to downgrade:
- uninstall Spotify
- make sure auto update in playstore is disabled or it'll automatically update you back to 6.3
- enable the ability to install apps outside of the playstore (I suggest disabling this setting once you've installed 6.2)
- go to http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/spotify-ltd/spotify/spotify-6-2-0-1028-release/
- download the apk for ARM architecture and install it

Wow, don't think I would have discovered this trick myself, THANK YOU - this one was VERY important to me !!!
(You can get an entire folder if you cheat - I use Folder Organizer & make a shortcut to a "Home" group that I put a Shortcut to using your method. This home group has 20 shortcuts, including 5 "sub-folders" and 15 favorite apps. Subfolders are Tools, Internet, Multimedia, Games & Apps. Some of those folders have sub-folders as well. Then you can use this same "Home" shortcut in other places as well.)

I was thinking perhaps in some Hidden Menu settings via dialer,IDK?
It looks like it does it on it's own? When I look at it he didn't play with any setting and it did that

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah,that's what I'm trying to figure out,perhaps it's model-specific?
One wouldn't think so,but,ya never know.
The only other thing I can think of is he's got an app installed that enables this,if it's not a hidden menu item.
I'm gonna look around in there,see if anything jumps out,I'll post again if I find something..................
@Tidbits
I figured out what's going on:
If you make your "signature" long enough,it will scroll as shown in the video,but,it only makes one revolution & stops.
At least the functionality seems to exist for an endless screen roll,perhaps someone with the capability will develop an app to expand on this.
Has anybody tried playing games like Traffic rider and notice that the 2nd screen doesnt work? I mean if i tap on it, it just shows the time any notification icon. No quick settings or previous app option?
