Reduced access when pattern unlock - Tasker Tips & Tricks

Dear XDA members!
I'd like to ask if it possibble to reduce the apps can be used when the phone is unlocked by pattern, and everything is normal when unlocked with fingerprint?
My phone have to be used by an other person (my assistant - she give appointments,etc), and I don't like her to see my fb,viber messages,etc.
So my goal is to reduce the apps when she uses my phone. I have a Pixel 5.
What do you think, is it possible?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Best regards

Why don't you use profiles on your phone?? In settings you can set it up many profiles I think...at least on LOS Rom you can. Mybee some xposed or magisk module can done that on pixel. I think it's really hard if even possible, to do this in tasker...
Maybe I'm wrong, idk.
Good luck and stay safe!

Access denied because "another app is drawing over the screen"

What the heck does this error mean and how do I fix it. I get it when I try to update my credit card info for Android Pay, and also when I try to authorize accessibility for several of my apps (like my password library, Tasker and the like).
Please help, because I am not being allowed to use some very useful features because my own phone won't let me
Do you have Lux installed? Anything that draws over your screen screws with that kind of thing (I had the same error yesterday).
I don't know the exact answer, but perhaps this will help narrow it down:
Settings/Apps/cog top right > Configure apps/Draw over other apps - this lists the ones that have the permission to draw over the app you're using.

It's not an error. It's a feature to prevent tapjacking.
What is tapjacking protection and how do I turn it off/adjust the settings so that I can use the features.
I mean really? An anti-hack that keeps the user from controlling his own phone? That's sounding like iOS, not our beloved Android.....

Ahhhh, that may be it. I'll disable or turn it off and see what happens. If that's it, I'll be a very happy camper because I've been wrestling with this for months with my other apps. Temperature is up because Android Pay is now added to my list.....

you cant "turn it off". what you can do is not use the apps that draw over other apps, but thats really up to you and whatever compromise that decide on.

I mis-stated my point. One of the guys said it might be Lux, and another showed me how to find the list of apps that are "drawing over". I'm going to disable the apps that are doing the deed, not the functionality that is integrated in the OS.
Thanks everyone. I'll get back if I'm still stumped, but it sounds like you've helped me......

Example: You're trying to enter credit card info into Android Pay while you have a screen dimmer app running. The dimmer app dims the screen by drawing an overlay. When you're entering the info, you're actually interacting with the overlay. A malicious app could record the touches and capture the info.

notification issues on my p30 pro

Hi guys
I have a persistent problem with my p30 pro. I get notifications very late or not at all only if I open the app (whatsapp, messenger, email etc) then I get all messages at once. Its very frustrating because I had some important ones sometimes. Is there any fix for this? Anyone having same problems at all?
Also after I cleaned up some bloatware, I am not able to log in my mobile banking app. Is there any package I have to install back?
Please help... Thank you very much.

Alex

As you have a chinese version of the phone and you installed the GMS(if you did for having Google services) separately, therefore your notifications won't work properly, because many apps notifications are GMS related and your phone might not be Google certified. The same problem is present on P40 / P40 Pro users that bought the phone without GSM preinstalled and tried (some of them managed to install it, some of then didn't) to make notifications work, but they are out of luck. There are some replacing apps for email or messages, but need testing.
Your mobile apps were working before removing bloatware? If your answer is yes, remember what you removed (if you used my guide in order to remove, you can see there the way to reinstall the apps WITHOUT Factory Reset your device) and reinstall them using ADB.

Yes my mobile banking was working before the bloatware clean. I am trying to figure out which one affected the app and reinstalling them back as we speak. Hope I get the right one back.
Thanks alot buddy

Will definitely do buddy. Thanks
I was thinking to do a factory reset and start fresh again but realized that the mobile banking still lets me use the mobile token only to sign payments. Reinstalling the bank app requires a bank visit in person, for them to authorize the app with a code(stupid if you ask me, should be done by phone as well).

BTW if I install for example Evie launcher and use adb to remove huawei launcher would it work after reboot ? And if I mess things up would I fix them with factory reset ? Just don't want to brick the phone.

Awkward about the bank app (which bank is it)? Can't you do it over the internet, regardless the lockdown period we're on? Like they do it when you want to create an new acount (videocall, you ID's...)?
If you remove the default launcher, the chances to get errors are pretty big . And YES, if you mess up things on it, you can Factory Reset the device and all is back, like when you unboxed your phone.

i don't think there's much of difference! just putting these ROMS up for everyone to see since there isnt very much development going on for the SM-T510 at the moment
Any fix for the ****ty statusbar scaling / nav bar scaling
supports 64bit apps?
Ran into a weird problem trying to install this ROM. I chose a pin for security but it still asked for permission for app to access the camera and I chose to deny it. I don't want any apps taking pictures and I don't use facial recognition. It then brought up a screen saying permissions were needed but gave no way to get past that screen. It seems I'd have to reflash the ROM and start over. But if the only way to use the ROM is to give it permission to take pictures, then I don't want it.

Face Unlock seems to be bugged so even if you do give it the permission, it won't do anything. Here's how I got past it:
Choose Face Unlock + pin, then skip the pin entry, it'll then not ask about face unlock.
It'll then ask to set up google assistant. Unfortunately, you have to accept, it'll loop otherwise. You can turn it off later and remove it's permissions, which is what I did after the fact.

Even the OP says there is not much difference between this ROM and Legion. Have you found anything about it that makes jumping through those hoops, worth the effort?

To be honest, i've never tried legion. I've tried Lineage and wasn't happy with the customization compared to the Havoc on my phone. It's not that big of a difference between the two beyond the customizations and the pixel aesthetic of havoc vs AOSP of lineage.
anyone having issues with the recents function? i cant get recents to show up no matter what i try.

Question Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro delayed notifications after Enhanced update

Hey guys, as the title says...I have a Mi 11 Pro, CN version. All fine until the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced update yesterday. Notifications only go through when I unlock the phone, like it used to be on some Huawei phones some time ago. No matter what battery saving change I make, no restrictions, etc, it is the same. If I dont unlock the phone for 30 minutes, I dont get any notification: no Wtp, no Gmail, no FB messenger. Only when I unlock, or at least turn on the screen. Very disappointed... Any idea?
The update has battery saving features in oder to save on battery. that means it shuts down many apps that run in the background. You need to turn off the battery optimizations features and give your apps permission to run in the background.
i have this problem too after the udated... my whatsapp notfication has been delayed.
even in whatsapp desktop.. keep showing the yellow banner.. saying phone has DC etc.

China rom wasn't designed to work with Gmail or any other Google services. You can always expect there to be problems with the China rom and western software working together.

Yes it wasnt ,but on the otherr hand , the core is there, unlike Huawei. Everything works on it actually, except for android auto. And again actually ), the second time worked and notifications go through after disabling the battery restrictions.

Hey man, it is classic: I long press the app, then choose App Info, Battery Saver and choose No restrictions. No other action. But I have to tell you: it worked last evening, now in the morning the email again did not come through. Did not get any Wtp messages yet to verify that too. It is starting to annoy me and will most probably go for an oppo or smth instead.

General User profiles!

so I have setup some user profiles for my family, only to findout that when the tablet is initaiily turned on, my password as the main user is needed, to get into the tablet and the others can then log into the or repsctive user profiles. surely there should be a way to have each user log in, using their own password and user profiles but this does not appear to be the case any suggestions?
Agreed, super annoying.

is this an oversight on their part though?
No idea, Samsung is notorious when it comes to maintaining features barely used.
In android 13 it seems a tiny user profile avatar icon appeared on lock screen. Have you tried pressing that and change to new profile? Maybe it let's you change there so you don't have to unlock yours first.
Hi, can't see that icon on Samsung unfortunately.

Hi yes after the tablet is unlocked for the first time, you can then log into the user profile. However, when the tablet is initialy turned on, it requires the main user log in code, before others can access their own user profiles.
Yes, I feel the same way. After restarting or turning off the tablet, it asks for the Administrator password.

Nah, this feels like negligence.
When One UI 5 was being tested for Phones, the first two beta's had user profiles as well. They removed it saying they had issues with it, and not giving us any detailed info.
The Tabs had it before One UI 5 obviously. It just feels like a feature with low priority on their end, and there are loads of hints. I.e., you can either have two users and one having a secure folder, or three users with out any having secure folder. Don't get me started if you actually need a user with work profile and secure folder too.
It's a poorly implemented feature. All other OS that have multi user support have the ability to bloody allow the user to log in without their sugauser.
