lock screen security - Android Head-Units

so i have a joyin ul135. i realised that in the settings there is no option to turn on a lockscreen. simply put, my personal accounts are associated with this device for spotify, amazon, netflix etc, and i dont want anybody to have access to this when i drop it in to the mechanic etc.
does anyone have a recommendation (app recommendation), that they personally use to lock the screen/device that they find works really well with their joying headunit?

i would be interested in this as well.

I have tried Lock screen by Green Banana Studio and it works fine, sometimes it takes 5 sec for app to run after unit has booted up.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.green.banana.app.lockscreenpassword&hl=en
This one looks good too: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.next&hl=en

I find it easier just to freeze all those apps with Titanium backup and unfreeze later. Someone could unfreeze those but I doubt they'll go through the trouble.

Is there something more reliable. I used the AppLock - DoMobile and locked all apps before handing over to the garage.
But, when I received the car, I found that they have been watching the movies in my HU and the app was disabled.
Later, I found that, a simple press on the reset button or a battery disconnection will de-activate the app.
Any other suggestion will be appreciated.
I created a google account and switched to it in my HU after this.

I enabled security lockscreen this way (on unrooted Joying model): (pictures are from my Samsung phone just to represent the concept)
1. install Nova Launcher;
2. went to widgets there and picked Nova's shortcut 'Activities' and placed it at desktop;
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. it automatically opens up list with all available activities on the device grouped by application or service;
4. scroll down to Settings group of activities and tap on it to open sub-list of Settings activities (there will be a lot);
5. scroll down there until you'll find something like Select screen lock activity. There could be several with the same name, so you need to check their system name (or whatever it is) below.
6. Tap it to select and place this shortcut to the desktop.
If you picked correct one it will open normal android settings menu for lockscreen.
I believe you may find any other app that work with activities in some more comfortable way and do the same thing (find corresponding Settings activity and get to the lockscreen setup).

Okay, I will try that.

Do you have an update? What did you end up doing to lock your head unit?

Iam looking for a solution too. I also foind the activity and I can launch it. I am also able to define a pin or pattern. Just the screen never locks.neither on turning off the screen nor on standby or reboot. Also I tried to use nova launcher but still I can't get the lock screen to show up even though I configured a lock pattern and the device tells me the pattern unlock is active.
I think my PX5 Android 6.0 ROM simply lacks the lock screen implementation itself. Also other screen locking apps do not work as the unit kills all apps on standby (imcluding other lock apps).
I would actually also like to add multiple users as this is supported in Android 6. But dragging down the status bar and tapping on the blue user icon does not launch any activity. I guess its simply not implemented.
As there is potentially an update with Android 8 upcoming soon I do not waste my time here. After the upgrade is released I will check agin. If the user management and lock is still missing we might check with custom rom developers how to fix/add this.

Workaround
I believe I've found a solution.
It involves using an app such as AppLock to lock all the required apps behind a PIN etc and then using an app such as Automateit to launch AppLock whenever the device boots.

The Intel joying with the custom ROM allows you to set a password lock screen

hello !
I have an issue with my navi JY-TO122N4GS: i have tried to add a vpn, after that it says that i should set a screenlock, i've added pin 0000 and when i'm trying to add a vpn it asks for PIN but it does not work.
Here is where i'm locked out. https://photos.app.goo.gl/FcHFWyGrvM1XP9hV9

Useful Bug/Glitch -- Actually Select 6 QuickCircle Apps

Found a neat little glitch for QuickCircle users today.
I did this on CloudyG3 2.2, but I reckon this should work on all the Stock Lollipop roms.
Flashed a modified LGAlarmClock.apk for the modified Quick Circle clock faces, 8Watches.zip from this thread. Well, it kind of messed up and didn't work, so I messed up and wiped the data and cache to the wrong app, LGSmartCover (Settings>Apps>All>LGSmartCover).
It seems that wiping the data and cache to SmartCover unticks "Settings" under Settings>Accessory>QuickCircle Case>Select Apps, which allows us to actually use 6 QuickCircle apps instead of 5 + Settings.
After doing this, the only way to change the clock face is to use the app Activity Launcher and make a shortcut from All Activities>Clock>Settings and place its icon on the home screen in a location that you can touch it while the QuickCircle case is closed. When you close the case, there's about a half a second delay before the QuickCircle becomes active and you can still touch stuff on the home screen, it's in that split second that you have to tap the shortcut to Clock Settings and you'll be taken to the clock face menu. Don't do it fast enough and you'll be taken to Settings>Accessory>QuickCircle Case.
WARNING:
Nothing I've done has been able to restore the tick mark to Settings. The one thing I didn't do was make Titanium Backups of these apps before doing all this. I figured a backup of the modified apk was good enough....didn't think wiping some app data would untick an unusable tick box...

Look Ma, 6 Apps and NO SETTINGS :good:

I have that installed and it's one of my favorite apps, Thank You for that, but what I'm talking about is completely removing the Settings icon from the QuickCircle screen. I haven't found the option to disable/remove Settings from the QuickCircle screen in your app.
When the data/cache are wiped from LGCover, it removes the tick mark for Settings when selecting what 6 QuickCircle apps you want to use, see my screenshots above to see both the bugged Select apps screen as well as the QuickCircle screen without the Settings icon.
After that's done, the only way to access changing Clock Faces is to run the Select Apps Activity right when the case closes because Settings is unusable at this point.
If you could make it, a new way to access Settings from QuickCircle would be awesome. That way we could just wipe LGCover and rely on QuickCircle Apps to change clock faces rather than the hacky method I'm using after doing this (close the case and run the activity real fast). It uses the Clock>Settings activity if you use the app Activity Launcher.
Since you're here, I have a typo for you -- Quick Calculator is spelled "Quick calculator" in the Select apps menu...not a big deal, just letting you know.....I could probably file a bug report or submit a pull request for that, but it's a single letter capitalization typo....

I have no idea how I missed that setting being there...seriously...that snake must have bit me 20 times before I noticed it...
But after doing what I did, that option doesn't work and produces a cyan colored warning box that says "Error".
It seems that wiping data and cache for LGCover breaks that option for Quick Apps.
If you want, I can give you some logs of the error happening.

I wonder if it's because I'm on LP or if it's because I wiped settings away...oh well, it's not that big of a deal since I have a work around.
Unrelated, but the music widget is so bright at 1 am when all the lights are off.

Marshmallow - Missing functions (Doze/App Standby; System UI Tuner)

Hi all,
I finally updated my H440n via "LG PC Suite" from Android 5.0.1 (rooted) to Android 6 (which is quite nice and very fast in comparison to 5.0.1). Before I did that, I tried to inform me as good and much as possible.
Hence, there are several features/functions I was looking forward to, inter alia:
1) System UI Tuner (activated via long-pressing the Settings-Symbol in the Quick Settings Dropdown) --> Does not work
2) Doze/App Standby (should be in the Battery-Menu under a submenu; via the three dots in the right-up corner) --> The three dots are not there
In the general thread I believe to remember that, with respect to (1), LG was not implementing the System UI Tuner; so one would only find it in an AOSP ROM, correct?
As far as (2) is concerned, I'm a bit "shocked" not finding this option/menu. Besides the App Permission Management (without root) these two features/functions were a main reason in upgrading the firmware. Does anyone know if Doze is active without any "settings"? Regarding App-Standby I believe it is missing, as there is no settings menu, so the user is unable to exclude an app from this Standby; am I right? Or is there any way to activate it (e.g. via the - mainwhile activated - developers menu)? :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for any help. :good:
Kind regards,
Fazi
PS: Meanwhile I, again, use Greenify (as a replacement for App Standby).
Doze is enabled by default on all devices, if I remember correctly. While it might not show any options, It feels like it's definitely there when looking at the battery life. Also, I use Force Doze to send my phone into doze more often / faster than by default.
As far as I can recall, ForceDoze can enable the original MM feature and add some more settings. However, I've read somewhere that the reason why it's disabled is that LG has implemented their version of the doze function natively, like they integrated features of the Tuner to their own ecosystem. Something that basically suspends apps under certain circumstances. And battery management available for many apps unlocks the full potential for that behaviour. Personally, I've tested the ForceDoze and the untampered feature for LG, and LG is noticeably better. If I genuinely use my phone rarely, distributed in large blocks of time, I can extend battery life to up to three days. That tells me that there's definitely something under the hood, and that it works.

Thanks so far. I hoped that LG implemented it, only without showing any settings/menu.
On the contrary, since I use Android 6, my 1WeatherWidget is not refreshing the "clock" any more. After about half an hour it gets stuck. Just if I open the App via tapping the weather of that widget, the clock refreshes to the current time. The android clock and the alarm are luckily not affected. Could that be a failure of the LG-implemented doze?
In the general App-Menu, under the point "Battery Management" at any app installed so far, there is no settings-possiblity at all. This is why I was wondering, if LG really implemented anything (Doze/App Standby) in their MM ROM.
Besides, both of you didn't mention "App Standby", which would be a bit tricky by LG to implement without offering the user any kind of whitelist, right? :silly:
Thanks for the hint with force doze, which I already read a while ago here on XDA, but interpreted it wrong. I found this feature in Greenify too under "agressive doze". As I already use that app I will give it a try in Greenify in a few days (try to whitelist "1WeatherWidget") and keep you updated.
Thanks again.

I think LG took a different approach.
The screenshot above is from my battery usage app list. AquaMail has a setting to ignore battery optimization, and it works whenever I get an email, no matter the inactivity period. I've only found one other app that gave the option. (No weather app, btw. - if you find one, let me know!)
It seems that the app must provide some concrete setting in order for this doze exception to be functional. I have no idea if this is a Marshmallow thing, an LG quirk, or simply a case of a really good app developer, because the AquaMail development cycle is off the charts.
The option, if it exists, is only accessible from the battery view. The only way I've found to check is if you go to Apps, select an app, and then review its battery usage. Though this doesn't work if the app wasn't used in a while.
On a different note, it might be possible to access this battery menu if it was secreted away by LG. There are several such menus, like one for multi window management, that are actually present in the rom, just not functional on our device. Many can be accessed by some apps like More Shortcuts, that list all the calls of a given app, like Settings. Though it requires much more research...
Well I'll be. This was easier than I'd thought. You need to use a custom shortcut app like More shortcuts, and find the shown activity within the settings.
This is what you get:
WhatsApp and AquaMail were already checked. I presume this is the exclusion list. Checked my weather app in there, hopefully I 'll know by morning.
Sent from my LG-H440n using Tapatalk
Thanks a lot for the guidance. I set system language on German (Austria) and needed some time to find it under "Optimierungen ignorieren" but now I have a shortcut on the homescreen right into that hidden menu. Great man. :good: Also thanks to Alanon for the hint with "More shortcuts" (from now on Ms).
After installing Ms, my wheater app 1weather suddenly was on that whitelist. But I remember that there was no option before installing Ms. Also after unticking the checkbox and deinstalling Ms, I could not see the "menu point" in the app viewer (or under the battery statistics) again. So it seems for me that Ms is a nice assistance for battery saving (and whitelisting) reasons.
I will know check, if the clock of 1weather (and besides: also of some other weather widgets except AccuWeather) keep in time. I will report soon.
Thank you so ****ing much Alanon! I thought that activity was still there (I have a LG X Power, and LG has also hidden that option at Battery Settings), I just needed to find some way to launch it. I've searched and used the ****ty app Activity Launcher but it hadn't showen me that activity, but now it worked like a charm with More Shorcuts. Thank you!

[Tutorial][Tasker]Supercharge Your K8 with Tasker

What is Tasker?​Tasker is an automation app for Android. The basic concept with Tasker is “if X happens, do Y,” where the ridiculous number of Xs and Ys available making it as complex as it is. An example of a relatively simple Tasker setup is “if the phone is put upside down while ringing, mute the sound,” but the sky is the limit for how complex something can be.
Why should I learn Tasker?​Learning Tasker is guaranteed to revolutionize how you use your Android device. Tasker gives you the ability to custom tailor your device the way you want it, so that you’re not forced to use some lowest common denominator product. I personally have replaced a lot of actual apps with Tasker creations I have made myself, and custom made those to fit my exact needs.
Can anyone learn Tasker?​Tasker shares some similarities with programming, but that’s by no means a prerequisite for learning it. Having an analytical mind that thrives on logical thinking will however help you a lot, and it doesn’t hurt if you’re creative either. The more experience you have with using software of any kind, the easier it will also be to use Tasker, because this is not an app that comes with a user manual, and so you have to be able to use common sense and just try to see what happens a lot of the time. Because of that, impatient people who expect everything to be handed to them should stay as far away from Tasker as possible.
For a head start, you can skip the learning curve, and just import the ready-made Tasker profiles that I have made for Lenovo K8 Note (Root not required).
Downloading & Setup Tasker, Importing things:​Tasker gathers various information from all the sensors and os. So it need almost all the permissions of a device. That’s why I strongly recommend to download Taker from play store. A hacker may design a modified version of Tasker that can send sensitive private data over the internet (For example, Tasker can capture image with the front cam and send it to a remote location without any user interaction). Please check the functionality of a profile that isn’t created by you.
Setup: After downloading launch Tasker> Upper right corner menu> Preferences. In the UI tab disable Beginner Mode; in the MONITOR tab make sure Run in Foreground is checked. You can disable the notification icon by clearing ‘Show notification icon’. A permanent notification of Tasker will be on phone and this is important. Make sure any power saving feature/app like Greenify is not blocking Tasker from running in background.
Now go back from preferences> Menu> More>Android Settings> Enable all the permissions there.
Importing things: Tasker has four tabs on main screen: PROFILES, TASKS, SCENES, VARIABLES. A Profile is a condition (the ‘X’) with linked Task (the ‘Y’). A Task (which is normally linked with a Profile) is the action which will be performed by tasker if the condition of the linked Profile is met.
I’ll upload all the Profiles, Tasks required to achieve a functionality in zip file. De-compress/extract the zip file in a known location> Click on respective tab on Tasker> Import> point to the location of extracted files.
Get-Started:​Bluetooth Auto Off:
Tasker will show a notification (With a button to disable Bluetooth) if Bluetooth is on for 5 min and no device is connected.

It depends on the tasks you are performing. For example if you configure a task that need to monitor your location continuously, then obviously it should drain battery. But for the profiles I have uploaded here, you'll never see tasker on the settings>battery.

How can I autorun a system app on startup

I have an android headunit that heavily relies on the stock launcher called "launcher3.apk" I can only assume that in the background it loads other libraries or functions at the same time, the launcher itself sucks you can't even put a Icon or widget on it lets alone customise anything and I prefer Nova Launcher however if you do not at least load the stock launcher first then go back to Nova launcher other related applications do not work such as the equilizer app or Bluetooth app. Is there any way of either making the system launcher appear in the app drawer like other applications so I can use a regular auto launcher app, or is there a auto run app that also allows you to select a system app not listed in the app drawer because I have tried every one I can find in the app store and they all only let you choose apps listed in the drawer which this app is not listed, I have to manually launch it.
I look forward to your reply, I really need to be able to do this. Any help will be greatly appreciated
Regards
Mick
Hi Everyone,
Just an update to say I have figured out how to do it in case anyone else is looking for a way in future, this is what I did.
I made the Default Launcher to Nova Launcher and Downloaded a program called "Automate" from the play store.
I then in the settings of automate made sure it runs at startup.
I then made a new Flow that went a little like this with arrows connecting the blocks.
Flow Start.
Recieve Broadcast: _ BOOT_COMPLETE
START APP "com.android.launcher3"
Delay 2 Seconds
Start APP "com.teslacoilsw.launcher"
then connect the flow back to the top with an arrow so it doesnt run once only and stop and started it running and rebooted to test it.

this worked brilliantly. because it only had a 2 second delay you dont even see the factory launcher3 pop up so just runs in the background as I wanted meaning the EQ settings and bluetooth settinsg work as they should.

There is a difference between unit booting and rebooting. However to avoid confusion, where I mentioned 'booting', substitute 'Startup'

Does that app autostart after a normal start, or only after reboot? Think I read somewhere, that Android won't autostart apps these days (with normal start, or boot). Hence, very few apps promising this feature.

It starts after boot, reboot and sleep on Junsun V1 pro if setup done as described.

Cannot remove screen pin lock on android head unit

I logged into my android head unit using my google account (gsuite) and was forced to setup a screen pin lock.
Now every time I start the car it boots into the Lock Screen and there is no way to remove it, I removed the account and it still shows there.
Even when I disable google smart lock and find my device it gets automatically enabled after reboot.
Anyone know how I can get the screen lock menu again it doesn’t show in settings/security but it disappeared.
I hope someone can help
Attached is the version number of my unit

Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm having the exact same issue.
Yes i removed it in the end
from the play store download shortcut maker, you can create a shortcut for anything on your android device or search all the plugins and modules.
Search for pin or passcode or screen lock and it will show you all the apps that have that word in the menu including System settings.
Create the shortcut, and keep trying until you find it.
Once you find the right menu run it and you will get that menu again and disable it.
the shortcut maker application will let you find hidden menus that you can’t access on your screen
if you are still stuck I’ll send you a photo of the shortcut I created
Thanks for the reply. I ended up getting it fixed using a similar method.
I used Nova Launcher to create an Android activity shortcut/widget on the desktop.
It took a lot of scrolling and trial and error, but in the end the activity that got it done was called .password.ScreenLockSuggestionActivity.
Thanks!

try this one.it helped me because i could not get rid of PIN at the start-up.the same thing as you
I just figured out how to fix this, and deleting Credentials and disabling through the regular settings menu does not work. I downloaded an app from the Play Store called Android Settings X. There you can reach the hidden settings. Choose "Choose screen lock (SetupChooseLockGeneric)" to remove the Screen Lock. Bam, fixed!

If that option doesn't work there is another one, 2 options down, called "Settings (ScreenLockSuggestion)". This is the only way I know of that actually removes the Lock Screen and will not revert back.
My issue with screensaver is when I first start the unit the first time I use a SWC it turns the screensaver on! Only does it once and then it is fine and SWC function as intended until next time the unit is restarted. I dont think it is an issue on android end as I have the screensaver turned off in there and when turned on it looks different, I think it has something to do whatever settings there is in the headunit as it has an option for screen saver to be: screen off or customize (which is a clock but no options to customize...)
I cant find any information on how to fix this issue anywhere and it seams I may have bought a strange android stereo (B200?) as I find all information I find is irrelevent and looks different to how mine is.
