[GUIDE] Fix no SIM PIN request with custom lockscreen = No signal - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've just installed some of the 3rd party lockscreen apps and what I've noticed is that when using it the phone won't ask for PIN (for SIM card), so as a result it won't connect to the mobile network.
I've managed to solve this problem and I want to share it with you, as I've seen that I'm not the only one.
For this tutorial you will need:
1)Root
2)Xposed framework
3)2 additional apps that are mentioned later
Of course during that process you may damage your device, so don't blame me.
It is highly recommended, that you have some knowledge on how to fix the phone, uninstall xposed framework etc.
Ok, so let us begin.
1) Install AppOpsXposed or any similar program that can block apps from autostart and enable it in xposed.

}
2)Go to AppOps, select your lockscreen app (in my case Hi Locker) and disable the autostart.
3)Finally install "Llama" from the Play Store (or any other automatation app that has similar functionality) and make a new event like this:
And btw. I've set my system lockscreen to swipe, but it's being skipped anyway.
That's it. Give it a try.

[Q] Help Theming Google Search Widget

Hi Guys,
I'm a designer and have put together a concept of a Google Search Widget that I wouldn't mind sitting on my home screen. I've integrated styles from other parts of the UI so that it'll fit more seamlessly into the user experience.
I've never developed for Android before but have done a lot of background reading and am aware of the various \res\drawable images I'll need to replace. My question is whether or not I'll be able to replace those images without rooting my device, using ASTRO for example?
Also, is it a simple case of replacing the \res\drawable images and it working or is there more to it?
I've got a locked bootloader and don't want to unlock it, so am waiting for ICS and a hopeful way to root with a locked bootloader then.
Screenshot of what it will look like:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'll be re-designing the app that launches upon touch to look more like the Xperia UI menus

Running Process

I had a look at whats running after a re-boot:
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Other them Display brightness, Thumb Keyboard, Google Services and Gallery, why are the others running? I imagine that secphone and Samsung Push Service are required to make the phone work and have my mail pushed. Gps Navigator shows restarting all the time until I turn in on then goes in process. What of those should be frozed as I dont use them at leased for now unless other app are using them.
Those are system apps which are meant to be run by default. If you close most of them, your phone might not function properly like lets say when you get an email or a message, the notification will not be shown if they are force stopped.
Yes, I agree, some apps like Samsung Apps, Maps...etc keep running when you hardly use them.
If its still a pain for u to have these apps running, Use Root Explorer to freeze/Uninstall those apps or just add ".bak" extension to the apk incase if you will ever need these apps.

[Q] How to view the notification access menu on stock or stockbased custom rom ?

Hello,
I have a MiBand, and to setup it correctly (I wish it to vribrate when receiving sms, emails...) I need to allow the notification acces for it
normaly this is in the Notification access menu, that is available in the security menu
like this
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
but i did not see something like this :/
So question : where the hell is is hidden ??? Does anyone have it on stock ? (to know if it is an error on the stock rom or if this error was done by the rom moddification ) ?
ps: on CM12 and MIUI rom for z7 mini I found the menu ...
It is on stock, but there is no direct way to access it from settings.
You either need to install an app that opens it for you (NotifierPro and others that ask you to allow them access to Notifications), or Install a custom launcher that allow creating shortcuts directly to app Activities.
I use Nova Launcher and created a Shortcut to Activities > Settings > Notification Access (Settings$NotificationAccessSettingsActivity).
i didn't find out how to do it with nova launcher, but the notifier pro tipp worked

Apps with usage access bug

I have Y5 prime has EMUI 8.0 based on Oreo 8.1
Got September security patch, installed it, ran into some problems, factory reseted it, then it was fine.
Afterwards, had this weird bug that prevent me from allowing apps to access data usage. I don't recall having that. I go to the menu through Settings>Apps and notifications>Special app access>usage access I can see apps which are allowed and those not. But i click and nothing happens. Any suggestions? I wanted to use some data montioring apps so it required this permission. Where other permissions can be toggled on/off normally (ex. Draw over other apps or Modify system settings)
I tried safe mode but with no luck.

Memup SlidePad 816P - Alwinner A20 weird bootloop

Hello, so 1y ago i tried to root an old tablet of my sister from her middle school, with all the school bloatware on it and it worked, and one time i messed with the recovery and when i rebooted the tablet, its like it was never used and i can't even install a Developer Shortcut app because it tells me that there is no space available (its force to install to the 1gb rom and not the integrated sdcard of 10gb for apps and data, here named SP816P).
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
the thing is that there is a lot of space and i don't understand that sh*t, and if u ask me why i'm trying to install a developer shorcut app is because the developer options are activated but hided in the settings menu so the only way left is to use an app. Anybody here know how to activate ADB so i can flash the tablet with PoenixSuit and a compatible stock rom?
here is screen of the ES file explorer pre-installed on it
Thanks for reading this thread and maybe help me, bye!
nevermind, locking this post because the screen has just broken, only a half of it work... i don't event know how i manage to broke it
