[Q] How to add a password on nook rooted

Hi
Thanks to the forum, I have rooted my Nook touch. I can access my emails and the market. But nothing is protected.
Is it a way to add a password to the Nook? or how can I set up the apps so they asked for a password.
Thanks

Secure your hacked Nook
There seems no solution to this at this moment but there are some workaround security mitigations.
1. Do not connect public Wifi to use your Nook. Use your own private Wifi and turn on AP isolation (i.e. Wifi clients on the same WLAN are isolated)
2. Install on Nook adbWireless and control adb ON/OFF over wireless

Securing after TouchNooter 1.6.24
Would reverting to the original uRamdisk of the stock Nook touch make it secure?... i know it would make adb over wifi unavailable but if that is fine with me...

Somewhere on the forum is attached ramdisk that should enable adb over usb. The topic is something like "adb over usb"..

If you wish to lock single apps, I have had great luck with Protector. You can define any apps you want to be locked and when you try to open these apps, they ask for a password.

I have not tried it on the new Nook myself but give it a try.

Lock
Use GoLocker

Go locker does really add number lock (iphone style) or connect-the-dots lock (android style) but they tend to leave a shadow on the screen, which was bothersome enough for me to stop using, and the number lock would show the number before becoming a *, so someone could look over your shoulder and pick it up...
Almost good! But the best choice so far for entire NST locking so far!

GO Locker: so far, little luck
Downloaded Go Locker.
It detected an outdated Go Launcher; I approved the download.
Enabled Go Locker and specified a PIN.
Cycled power on the Nook.
Behavior change: I can select among Go Launcher, Go Locker and Home when I press the Home soft button on the right of the screen. Makes sense.
But no request for a PIN.
Perhaps I missed one or more configurations steps?
Any suggestions?
Best regards,

You need to set GO Locker as the default so you can't just press home to bypass the lock, and when you reboot it doesn't start immediately unfortunately. But next time you lock the screen it should be there.

Thanks. I set the Go Locker as the default, but I did not see the locking work after reboot, nor how to lock the screen manually.
But my main concern is that approximately 40% of the screen was going grey, making icons and text in that area unusable.
So I removed Go Locker for now.
Is documentation available somewhere? With a quick check of the developer site I did not see enough.

Hi
Excuse me for my bad English writing.
......
I active internal android pass code on may NST. but I can't remove it !!!
however i like it .
for do it you need install ADW louncher . but you don't need any additional program and after uninstalling this launcher , pass code still exist .
in " ADW launcher desktop " do this steps :
Menu > Add > Custom Shortcut > Pick your activity > Activities >
next find "Settings" and collapse it . ( it is your android settings )
next find " Passcode(.ChooseLockPin) " > OK
Click on Shortcut you create ........ WOW !
select passcode.
remember you can't back to previous state !!!
if anyone could remove passcode please notify me .

Disabling authors screensaver

Is it possible to completely disable the automatic activation of the screensaver? I don't see it in settings, the longest interval for this to happen is 1 hour, but no option to disable it completely. I already installed the No Lock app, but this only helped me to get rid of the slide to unlock screen. Thank you for any ideas.

All settings are here:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings.System.html
In you case you'll need:
adb shell
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
-- check current value
select * from system where name='screen_off_timeout';
120000 - 2 min
3600000 - 1 hour
2147483647 = 596.5 hours
-- set
update system set value='2147483647' where name='screen_off_timeout';
.q
^d
or you can pull/mod/push alternatively.

Won't disabling the screensaver keep the screen and IR sensors active, thus eating up battery life significantly when not in use?
I know some folks would like to get rid of the swipe, waking up on a screen tap (mostly for accessibility issues), but I think some sort of screen (actually, battery) saver is still important.
Great link, ApokrifX. Would you happen to know if WIFI_SLEEP_POLICY does anything on the NST? I use Tasker to shut wifi off when the screen goes off, but I wonder if that might be easier?

I need to find a program that will let me know when wifi is on or off relative to the screen. On other devices, I can see that info in the battery status, but I'm not finding a similar option for the NST.
I *did* find a little program that would toggle it, but the NST lasts so long on battery, it's hard to tell if it's making any difference.

Actually, to disable the screensaver completely:
Code:
update system set value=-1 where name='screen_off_timeout';
I haven't found a way to disable the keyguard yet, but if you have one of the side keys set as Menu that dismisses the keyguard.

Hi Renate again ( you adviced me with manual time set in NST
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30560605#post30560605, thanks).
I like the tweak (to disable the screensaver completely) also. But not understanding how to do this in internal terminal. Not shell and not busybox know the sqlite3 app and update command?

I fixed it so:
you must install SQLite3 to the NST you can just push it to the device. [unzip sqlite3 (push to n2e).zip]
Code:
adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb push sqlite3 /system/bin
download it from here:

This makes a lot of sense... it explains my battery drain when the screen gets stuck on the "drag to unlock your NOOK" page after a reboot. Basically you have to make sure the Nook really goes to sleep.
Disabling the IR sensors and wifi are then the key to long battery life on the NST.

For anyone trying this technique: I used the pull/mod/push approach and Renate's recommendation of a -1 value, and everything seems to be working well, but I had to powercyle (power down, then power up) my Nook to get the change to take effect.

[Q] Scheduled Shutdown

Hi,
I recently got fed up with forgetting to power off my nook. So I figured out I could use Tasker to shut it down at night when it is idle, etc., but I while I was testing it I realized that when my Nook is shut down, it shows the last state of the screen before having been shut down. It is quite annoying, especially that I cannot find a workaround, since Tasker cannot unlock the locked screen.
So, my question is, that does somebody know whether there is a shell command to power off the Nook like when you press the power off button?
Or any other suggestions would also be great.

In my experience letting the nook go into standby for 8-12 hours before using it again uses less battery than shutting down completely and rebooting it.

I use Quick Boot v4.2, Plus version which has an additional command useful for phones: Hot Boot. Free version is good enough for NST:
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot
I use a WiFi shutdown timer on my phone though, as sleep function on shoutcast radio.
P.S. As mentioned before in my apps listings thread for standby & screen blanking I use Screen Off FX:
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.kixx.tool.offwidget

Well, maybe I wasn't making myself clear enough. The most important part here is automation. So while screen off fx is awesome, I can't really use it in this situation since my screen is already locked when I want to turn my Nook off.
The thing I am searching for is a command or an app that could shut down my Nook (even when my screen is locked) in a way that it shows the usual "Your Nook has turned off completely" picture. (Every app that I tried has made the Nook show the screen that is has shown before having been shut down.) And I would like to do all of that automated, probably with Tasker.

The way I would do it is unlock the screen, overlay an image of whatever you want to be shown using a scene, and then shutdown.
To unlock the screen, try Simulating the "n" button command with tasker to unlock the screen before shutting down. (assuming slide to unlock is disabled):
Procedure for simulating button:
In your Tasker task, Create a new Run Shell Action. (Found in the "Script" category)
In the command section, put the following:
Code:
sendevent /dev/input/event1 1 102 1
sendevent /dev/input/event1 0 0 0
sendevent /dev/input/event1 1 102 0
sendevent /dev/input/event1 0 0 0
This will send a press and a release event of the n button.
​
Check the Use Root Option.
NOTE: If this is the first time you've used root with tasker, the root confirmation dialog will appear. Make sure to check the always allow option so that it doesn't pop up again.
Just For Reference:
If you would want to use other buttons do the following:
Replace 102 with:
Power Button: 116
Replace event1 with event0 AND 102 with:
Top Left Page Button: 412
Bottom Left Page Button: 139
Top Right Page Button: 407
Bottom Right Page Button: 158
Good Luck!

Absolutely woderful!
This is exactly how I wanted to do it. :victory:
It works perfectly, thank you very much.

Pushing stuff into /dev/input is lower level than it need be.
You'll be working with scan codes there.
In a shell this sends a press of the power button (using a KEYCODE)
Code:
input keyevent 26
Shutdown is easy enough (with one small hitch).
Simply send a android.intent.action.ACTION_REQUEST_SHUTDOWN
The problem is that this is a privileged intent and can only be sent by system apps.
System apps are those that have the system signature.
You can do that by re-signing your system.
You need to have android.permission.SHUTDOWN in the manifest.

You can do that by re-signing your system.

If all your looking for is to do a shutdown or reboot, and are already using a Tasker task, the action Misc > Reboot has the ability to shutdown or do a reboot. My guess is that it does exactly what Renate NST is telling you to do - send a shutdown intent - behind the scenes. Granted, I don't know, and I don't have Tasker installed on my nook so I can't confirm that it will actually work, I have just used Tasker on other devices and it seems to work fine.
Just seems like the easiest, cleanest way would be to keep all the actions under one roof.

Hmm, I don't know. A regular root and su won't work.
You'd either have to have a system-signed app or hack the permission system.
There is no clear info on the difference between an Android shutdown and a Linux shutdown.
Given the choice, I'd go for the Android shutdown.

Well I had a stack overflow link that shows a way to do it, but I can't post links yet. Either way, apparently there is a way with only root. The code from the link was:
Code:
try {
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime()
.exec(new String[]{ "su", "-c", "reboot -p" });
proc.waitFor();
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();

Any app for dual screen

Hi just wonder is there a way to make add any app run with dual screen ??

Oh, yes, sure. Get root, find /system/etc/xml/multiwindow_whitelist_apps.xml file, open it with any text editor that supports root and put there something like
Code:
<mw_nonsystem_app package_name="xxx.yyy.zzz" />
where xxx.yyy.zzz is you app package name. You can see you package names with 3C Toolbox or any other application manager, or get them from /data/app by taking the application folder name and removing the last 2 symbols from there (was: "com.mypackage.myapp-1", will be "com.mypackage.myapp") or see them on Google Play website in the URL of your application.
After you edited the xml, reboot and your app will support multiwindow mode. If it still doesn't, make sure you didn't make a mistake in the package name (Pro versions of free apps can have different package names) and go to Settings->Apps->Menu->Show system processes->HwDualWindowLauncher, clean its data, reboot and try again.

Its work prefect, Thanks @Slavon-93, How can i remove all lock its require disabled by administrator??

Found this solution nearby.

I had the same issue lastnight.. this is what I found and works for me:
1st step : create a pattern lock and for emergency PIN code to 0000 .
2nd step : go unlocking screen by pressing the power button.
3rd stage: try to unlock 5 wrong times, the phone will ask you to wait 1 min, after that go to Backup PIN.
4 th step : enter the PIN secour 0000 , the phone will return to the lock screen option with sliding always grayed out, DO NOT CHANGE.
5 th step : go unlocking screen by pressing the power button , no more multipoint , the slide is given by default!

It won't. After you enter the pattern wrong 5 (or more) times, the tablet will block the input and you will see an Emergency PIN button to the right of Emergency call button. If you don't, just lock and unlock the screen.

Don't know then. I don't think Huawei made it like: "You forgot your pattern? - Ha-ha, loser." There surely must be a button for emergency PIN input somewhere on the lock screen.

Disable Magazine unlock

There's a category called "Screen lock style" in the Screen lock & passwords section of the phone's settings.
How can I add other screen locks to that list? From my limited experience, if I download another lock screen from the Play Store and enable it, after unlocking my phone with the new lock screen, it still opens the phone to Magazine Unlock, and the newly downloaded lock screen does not appear in the Screen lock style list.
My ultimate goal is to disable Magazine Unlock entirely, because I'm using the Gravity app to unlock my phone.
My phone is rooted. Hoping for a solution that doesn't involve switching ROMs.

Go to developer options and disable screen lock.

Hmmm.... are you running the stock ROM? I appreciate the response, but there is no such entry in Developer Options.

Yes, I am running stock b180 rom. I thought it was in b170 too but not 100% sure. See attached pic.

Disabling screen lock is problematic for me, I believe because of huawei's encryption settings or because I use an sd card for primary storage. Ive googled around and played with a few fixes, but no luck so far..
Fwiw, there is no such thing as replacing your lock screen.. all you're doing is disabling your devices built in security and trusting a third party app, every one of which I've tried basically amounting to adware at best and spyware/malware as the norm. I'd be very careful running those sketchy apps..

It appears I looked right passed that, because it's grayed out on my phone. It says, "Disabled by Administrator, encryption policy, or credential storage."
I went to Advanced Settings > Security > Device Administrators - and disabled the two apps with access, but I don't know where to go for encryption policy.
Trusted Credentials is also located in Security, but I don't know what entry I'm looking for there either.

Gravity isn't a lock screen, it's an app that wakes your phone, based on movement and tilt, without having to press the power button. I don't care about security. If my phone gets stolen, I'd rather remotely disable it from the Find My Device website than put up with constantly entering passwords and pressing buttons every few minutes. I want to enjoy my phone. I compare it to the concept of having to enter your computer's password every time you pause Netflix or walk to the kitchen and back. The security level is ridiculous. Most would-be thieves aren't going to get anything from my phone before I remotely disable it. I don't use banking apps or store important passwords on the phone. The most they'll get is my contacts list and access to my music.

Do this to disable your lockscreen password, assuming your phone is rooted:
Rename both files (e.g. add .bak to filename) :
/data/system/
gatekeeper.password.key
and
gatekeeper.pattern.key
You can easily do it with TWRP File Manager or any root File Manager.
Then reboot the phone and you should not be prompted for the phone password or pattern.
Don't forget the thanks button if this helped you .
You take full responsibility for disabling your phone's lockscreen protection - e.g. losing all your bitcoins hahaha

Awesome! Got so fed up trying to disable my screen lock, ended up just wiping the phone, lol

In the security settings you should be able to clear the encryption policy or credential storage but that does not allow you to get rid of the lockscreen period but what I stated above allows you to clear the password meaning to take away the "Disabled by Administrator, encryption policy, or credential storage." Also if you can't find the option above goto backup and reset and reset the system settings you may have to reapply your EMUI theme and your settings but I usually use Next Lock Screen being a suggestion!

My lock screen is completely disabled by turning off "screen lock" in the developer settings. That is when i turn off the screen or the phone goes to sleep, i simply tap the power button and i am on my home screen without having to swipe or enter any passwords. i did delete magazine unlock folder, emui folder and theme folder in the system folder of the phone. not sure if that makes a difference though.

"My lock screen is completely disabled by turning off "screen lock" in the developer settings." isn't possible on my phone because it's grayed out. I don't recall what led up to it getting grayed out.
The solution I posted about renaming files is the only working solution I could come up with for my case.

I just wiped the phone and re-installed b180 stock from CLS (thanks cls!!). Screen lock toggle is available. I did not setup google account or att transfer at startup. I previously unlocked my phone to use for T-Mobile. On another note, I have been trying to figure out how to get Volte calling on T-Mobile. Under the specs of the phone, it is suppose to support it but there is no setting for it by default. But, i found if i delete the ATT folder in the "cust" partition, the toggle is now in the settings. Haven't tested if it works yet though. Ive been trying to get this phone as close to stock as i can. Ive deleted emui folder, themes folder, watermark folder, magazine unlock folder, cdrom folder, most huwaei apps and all att apps. I feel like the phone is snappier now.

Those files do not exist on my phone. I am rooted, I have TWRP, and I also have the paid version of ES File Explorer, which is granted root. I did a full search on the drive too, found nothing.
To ensure we're all on the same page, I do not have a lockscreen password. Magazine unlock is a screen you see when you wake your phone, and you simply swipe up, and you're immediately taken to the home screen. I am not attempting to disable a password.

I was hoping to not have to flash the phone. It may be my only option unless someone else understands how Magazine Unlock still works despite the fact that it's folder has been deleted from the System directory.

Have you tried disabling magazine unlock in the emui theme settings? Perhaps try the stockify theme, free on the play store?
Also, do you use an sd card for default storage?

I'm using a different theme, have internal storage as default, and still can't just select swipe to unlock (unless I rename files I posted about).

Your typing got a little messed up there at the end ("and still have can't just select"?). Not sure what you're saying, but I have removed the files you suggested, and I still must swipe to get to the home screen. I want to only have to press the power button to wake the phone, and then go directly to home. No swipe.

Corrected to "I'm using a different theme, have internal storage as default, and still can't just select swipe to unlock (unless I rename files I posted about)."
The swipe screen is there for protection in case the phone is in your pocket. I don't think you can avoid it as it's a safety feature.

I appreciate the response. What you're suggesting does not seem possible on my phone. I see no button to disable Magazine Unlock. Exactly what buttons would I press to do such a thing?
It just replaces Magazine Unlock with another slide-to-unlock screen. No way to shut it off.
No, I do not.
Your typing got a little messed up there at the end ("and still have can't just select"?). Not sure what you're saying, but I have removed the files you suggested, and I still must swipe to get to the home screen. I want to only have to press the power button to wake the phone, and then go directly to home. No swipe.

I have magazine unlock disabled, no swipe screen at all, thoughall options to disable are still grayed out. I don't recall doing anything special, I'll dig around a bit later.

Under Settings, what does it say for "Lock screen style"?
