HOW CAN I NOT HAVE TO HIT "OK/ENTER" TO UNLOCK SCREEN AFTER ENTERING PIN ON MY GOOGLE PIXEL 5 - Google Pixel 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods

So i dont know about anyone else but THE ONE THING I HATE ABOUT MY GOOGLE PIXEL 5
is that when i turn my phone on and go to enter my pin, instead of the screen
automatically opening to my home screen, after i hit the final correct number,
I have to press that Arrow Button/ Enter Button/ OK Button. To me it is so annoying to have to hit that
extra button, when on my wifes Samsung she just enters her 4 number pin and after then 4th number, BOOM!
Home Screen here i am. Now, i know its probably there for an extra
layer of protection, but seriously it annoys the **** out of me,
So I beg someone please make a MOD that can remove having to hit that extra button to unlock the screen?

I agree this is very annoying... Even the sony xperia xz1 would give the option to skip hitting enter.

You could flash a kernel and underclock with let's say franco kernel manager. I also use energized protection ( magisk mod) to get rid of ads EVERYWHERE. Looks better feels better and is better.

Can someone make a "knock off" of psShutXP

I don't know about other people, but it still bugs me that psShutXP's "turn off" button doesn't actually turn the phone completely off, but just merely turns screen off.
I then came across another thread where _DrG_ figured out the command line to actually turn your phone completely off
(31#"\Windows\PowerOffWarning.exe", "PowerOff")
I had asked DrG if it would be possible to somehow plug this into psShutXP so that the app would actually be capable of doing a complete shutdown of ur phone. He said yes as long as I could get the source code. Well I tried numerous times to contact the makers of psShutXP and ask them for the source code but no luck. I imagine the only way now to achieve this would be to just make a new app from scratch.
I know some people are saying why not just make a .lnk file for the shutdown command and then use that whenever you want to shutdown. Its just that I would like to have everything in 1 nice little working app.
So basically I am starting this thread in an attempt to see if anyone would be willing to use the command line that _DrG_ provided to make a "knock off" of psShutXP that can actually shut your phone completely OFF.
So if anyone would be able to do this that would be awesome! I would be very appreciative and I'm sure a lot of other people would be too.
Thanks
I can put it on my todo list. Might take a week or two...
How much like the original do you want it?
Just the Dialog for shutdown? Or all the other stuff as well?
Ta
Dave
First of all, Thanks for responding!
But yeah, take as long as you need, no rush at all. I mean u don't even have to be doing this so I am grateful!
And yes I would like it to have pretty much everything like psShutXP.
Sleep-like if you were to just push the power button
Turn Off-turn phone completely off like if you held down power button for 5 seconds, which is what this command does (31#"\Windows\PowerOffWarning.exe", "PowerOff")
Reset-soft reset phone
Timer-for if u want to schedule a soft reset or turn phone completely off. I dont know if its too demanding, but would it be possible to make the timer so that
1.you can either set it for a countdown of X number of seconds that the user defines
2.have the option to enter a time of day that it will execute the restart/shutdown, which you can choose to happen to be a one time thing or a recurring. And if you choose recurring you will be given the option of making it Daily/Weekly/Monthly
If the whole timer thing is too much I totally understand, beggars cant be choosers, right. So i would be more than happy with just the Sleep/Shutdown/Restart buttons.
Thanks again for attempting to do this. I hope you are able to get it done.
Many thanks!
Kewl.
A Timer maybe for V2 then.
There will have to be some differences, because psShutXP is copyrighted work. I'll try and make a "lightweight Open Source (read only to start) alternative that has support for powering off the Kaiser".

I was just messin around real quick and came up with this layout. Dont have to use it if u dont want. Just an idea.

Nice. I saw the pic. Try to make it a little less transparent. But, it still looks pro. Like it's part of the PPc. Great work. Keep it up.

I like that.
I found out why psShutXP doesn't work. MS removed the option to Power off a Device from the API. The phone manufacturer has to implement a method for this. I am working on hacking apart the PowerOffWarning.exe for my use...
@aso,
Have you got the original graphics that you posted, so I can take out the Images.
I have a simple 3 button app working, now it needs skinning...

Hey Dave! Here is the artwork! I changed it up a little bit to make it look a little more classy. Its in the form of a Photoshop CS3 file, I hope that is alright.
My idea was to not have the whole silver button be what you would tap, but rather just the actual button on the side. Look at pic 1 for reference.

Heres the original artwork in case my new design just totally screwed up what you have made so far.
In case anyone else is curious about what this app might look like. Here are some screenshots.

I'm at home today so I will see if I can get on my PC later and knock up a quick demo.

Geez your fast! hahaha.
Sounds good!
This app looks like it'll be very usefull. please dave keep us updated on your progress
Hi,
Here's my alpha release.
I'll make a new thread and do a beta next release.
Still todo for next release:
*App Icon
*Hotspots (I still need to get my head around the code behind this).
*Fix up Graphics, a few Images move when pressed.
*Fix app loadtime (if possible).
EDIT:
*Alpha Blending and a background

Aesome man! It works good! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this. I really appreciate it. I'm sure others are going to enjoy it too.
This app can only get better, that is if you decide to make changes, even though I am completely happy with it as is. Although the timer function would be a cool addition to see in the future
Finally a program that will shut your phone "COMPLETELY" off!
Goodbye psShutXP......HELLO XDA SHUTDOWN!
Installed and assigned to one button, seems to work quite well
Sometimes the most simple things are the most usefull
Thanks for you Application, quite nice
Thanks for the support guys.
@asofiker,
any chance you could make a pressed X button for me? I like the idea of it animating as it is pressed.
Ta
Dave
Hi guys,
I'm actually over at the Elf forum, but I acquired a psShutXP from someone which has the Full Shutdown capability. The only problem is that the Hard Reset and Timer menus are all in Chinese ;-)
Anyways, I'm attaching it for your curiosity.
But I think Dave's app is much sharper and also in English, so it's better LOL
Good work!
EDIT: Regarding your program:
- The "sleep" function sometimes doesn't work if launched from Manila2D's Program tab. It just closes the app but does not put the device into Sleep.
- Also, the sleep function turns off the music in Audio Manager, unlike psShutXP. Probably should look at how they do it in psShutXP.
- Program also takes a few seconds to start up, maybe the graphics need to be scaled down a bit?
Otherwise, good job!
In case you're interested, here's your file along with an XP-style shutdown icon on it (there was no icon in the Alpha).

Here are the cancel buttons artwork
http://www.4shared.com/file/66369255/8e00a2e8/Cancel_Buttons.html

[MOD] Hide the system bar via power menu

Introduction
This mod adds an option to hide/restore the system bar to the power menu (appears when you press and hold the power button). You can see screenshots at the end of this post. Please read all instructions and requirements carefully before installing.
This is the very first release and stable performance is not guaranteed! Make a backup before installing.
Prerequisites
Retail Wi-fi Tab (7510).
Deodexed ROM based on UEKME stock firmware.
The ROM must have framework-res.apk and android.policy.jar unchanged from stock. This mod overwrites these files. If they have been changed by the ROM, best case you'll cancel some of the ROM modifications, worst case - your device will stop working. If the ROM uses a custom theme or adds elements to the power menu (such as 'Reboot' or 'Boot into recovery'), most likely it isn't compatible. If unsure, ask your ROM developer. In case your ROM is not compatible, ask your developer to include this mod into their ROM.
As of now (September 16), StarBurst ROM should be compatible. I think it'll work on Task650 ROM, but you'll lose extra options that ROM has in the power menu by default.
Installation
Check all the prerequisites!
Make a full nandroid backup!!!
Download the attached update.zip and put it on the sdcard.
Flash from the CWM ('Apply update from SD Card' option).
Reboot (the boot will take a while, it's normal).
Long press the power button to see the updated menu.
Select the "System bar" option.
Click "Allow" in the superuser prompt.
Repeat 6-7 to restore the system bar.
Troubleshooting
Long first boot (several minutes showing Samsung logo) is normal. Boot animation with sound playing over and over is not.
If the mod doesn't work, try rebooting. If the problem persists, post logcat.
If you device doesn't boot, double-check all the prerequisites. If everything seems in order, post logcat.
Download
update.zip is attached to this post (mirror)
src.zip contains modified source files and resources for developers only (download)
Thanks
Manuel Di Cerbo for the code to hide the system bar
untermensch for the tutorial on modding the power menu
PhantomHacker for the deodexed files

By the way, if someone can make better icons for the menu, I'd be very grateful.
i can make some icons bro. gonna get the built into my rom first. i'll post some icons as soon as i get done with some for ya.
Nice.

Works on Task650's V6 Rom.
Awesome. Can't wait for this to be baked into a few ROMs. Great idea.
Should be in every ROM from now on. More screen real estate = massive win for videos, gaming, you name it.
Excellent work.

It will probably be less useful for games than you think, since most games have graphic resources designed for specific resolutions. My guess is that you'll see a lot of black margins in games. Also not very useful for videos, unless you watch a lot of old movies that are not widescreen.
My primary motivation was reading, actually
this would be great for web browsing for me. the stock browser always take precious real estate for tab on top and the system bar on bottom. i always looks squeeze to me. this is one of my complaint comparing to ipad2 aspect ratio.
dolphin hd solve this issue. but with this mod it will be even better

I haven't tried this out yet. But to keep the extended power menu you will have to add the strings for them. I'm going to update my rom tomorrow with this added to the extended power menu. I'll post it here if the OP wants me to also.

I was thinking more for emulation unless you think they would not stretch using the "fullscreen" modes.
I do watch quite a bit of 4:3 content too, I am assuming this would stretch downward to use the added pixels.
Web browsing will be nice too.
Maybe overthinking it lol.
Hidding the control bar is very usefull and handy together with Buttom Savior and Elixir Widgets. Now I always have my control keys in the right side of the screen wher are more easy and fast to reach.

Oh, you mean the home button shortcut gesture - thanks, I hadn't heard that referred to as a hotkey before.
Still, on my stock 5.1 phone that gesture shows as a temporary white circle as long as my finger is still pressed down on the home button (waiting for me to drag upwards and get the shortcut list) - not sure why the OP would be seeing a grey circle or why it's remaining on the screen, aside from a bug.

The "Sticky Soft Keys," do you mean? I thought that was highlights around the soft keys, but could be wrong.
Thinking about it, that home button shortcut seems dedicated to Google Now in Lollipop (i.e., I was used to it being configurable in TouchWiz) - I tried disabling Google Now as an experiment, but holding your finger down on the Home button still brings up the white circle overlay.
It's almost as if that overlay is staying resident for the OP after possibly being triggered (as a guess) - even though it's inexplicably grey on his phone - so, I wonder if holding down the Home soft key for a few seconds and then letting go might make it go away.
@Davesssssss : if you hold down the Home soft key, does a different circle overlay appear? If not, can you swipe up and get a prompt for opening the Google Now cards? Going back to a home screen, is the grey circle still there?
This is all just testing to determine if that circle is related to the Home button, but thought it might be interesting to try.

So, you hold the Home button and swipe up, then it goes away temporarily? But, it shows. up again how. much later, please?
Are you on stock 5.1 with no root and locked bootloader?
I'm still leaning towards an app that is somehow colluding with the Google Now launcher via Home button but that's probably do to my lack of knowledge, most likely.

On Gallaxy Note8. go to settings then go to About phone then scroll down to Android version then tap 4 or 5 times repeatedly fast it will bring up a Big letter N on that letter N tap fast 4 or 5 times repeatedly and then touch and hold the N a little symbol will appear below the N a circle with a line through it and then touch the N and hold till another symbol appears as a cats face,, what does this do? Have you guys seen this?, please let me know if you have any ideals what it is turning on, maybe a secret to unlock all the mysteries of the world,, hopely,lol, thnx guys.
Holding it makes a cat face appear, holding it again makes a stop sign like symbol... My guess is that it's enabling and disabling something, no clue what though... Good job finding it though. EDIT! It adds a tile to your quick tiles, a small dish that gives you the option to place food on it... Which I'd imagine leads to some game somehow...
It creates a quick tile icon that you can add the drop down menu. You can leave snacks out on the plate and the cat will come and eat it.
I'm allergic to cats so I leave this off.

Its a cat collector thing. it adds a quick settings tile you can put "food" out on a dish and cats will come. Not really a secret.
It's an old thing Google has been doing. In older versions of Android you would get different and almost impossible to play mini games.
It's just a fun nerd thing
Now they changed the game type hehe.
I haven't tried but thanks for sharing I will try it asap.
It's a catlog

Sorry mate, you haven't discovered the 'holy grail'.
This is well known, it's called an 'Easter egg' and is a sort of quirky present from the developer's.
It changes with each new version of 'Android'.
Indeed it is.

that is the Google easter egg that is embedded in every version of Android, sometimes it opens a cheap video game like on lolipop and jellybean
Since you found that, go into quick settings, and add Empty dish. Choose a food, and sometime later, you'll receive a notification that a cat has arrived. You can name it. Make sure you fill the now empty dish again, to get another cat (if you're that crazy).
It's not working on my Verizon Note 8. I get the N, but I tap and hold it and nothing happens.
That's kind of funny and sad.
But only sad because I remember the jelly beens would fly all over the place. They come a long way for sure though.

Tap on the N 11 times. But on the 11th time, hold it in. A cat will appear on the bottom. In the setting now you will find it on the bottom to add to your notification bar.
Crazy...pffft...i have 29 cats!

Notification LEDs

Guys, silly question. Do we have any notification LEDs? Can't find it. Please help. Hahaha.
I use this : Always on Edge
Watch some youtube videos on it if you feel its a little complicated or overwhelming but once you get used to it, it's really easy. Works great. Make sure to set it to manual in Huawei's app launch section so that it can run constantly.
Problem with that is that I first have to tap the apps overlay away before I can fingerprint unlock my device, is there a setting so it works at once as before?

You can set double tap. Also you only need to do it when the notification is on.

What about battery life? Does it drains a lot?
And can you set it up edge lighting to repeat every minute or so until you read or dismiss notification?
Sorry for my bad English

My personal experience, there's hardly any drain. I set it to turn off at 12am and turn back on at 7am. Sometimes i see 1% , sometimes i dont even see it in the usage tab. Maybe because i don't have many incoming messages but hye, it's really battery friendly.
Yes, you can set repeat, max 2 minutes. So every too minutes it will remind you.
Check the settings of the apps, there's plenty of control.
Also make sure to turn off automatic power management for that app else the p30 pro will put it to sleep.
I'm not able to use it anyway. I use NoLED fron XDA and it works well.

The repeat thing doesn't work for me, I don't know why. What about you? Do you have that option turned on or off?

I did... and it works fine, just repeat thing doesn't work (when I receive notification edge light up, after 60 seconds it should light again but it doesn't).
I don't know why, any suggestions?

Not sure, check your app settings, phone notification access, permission, etc.

NoLed app can be obtained via apkmirror but development for it has be halted. Also to dismiss the notification, you'd need to swipe up. Would have been nice if they added double tap to dismiss or something similar.

I don't know what's wrong. Guess I'll stick with always on. Shame because I really like app!
I worried me AOE, however, no matter what I set it will not show me.
Can someone help me with the settings?
Can enyboy share good LED notification here? NoLed no longer available on XDA or i can't finde it.
Maybe this should help those with issues
Hey JJay666 Thanks for your quick reply.
I can not select the first option under permission.
Where or what do I have to change?

It should bring you straight to the permission menu when you click it. If you think you messed something up, then clear data and cache for AOE. Re-launch the app again and do it step by step. Works here on my end without any issue.
The access notification access, enter settings and search Notification Access, then give permission to AOE.
I cant find this Option to aktivate
