N96ML Carta+ Screen Lock
Guys I just got this device and I am struggling to figure out how I can get the Pin code lock to work?
I set it lock the device immediately after sleep which is 3 minutes. It goes to sleep but no lock? |

Screen lock does not work by default. You can activate it following the instructions in this post by DoctorWkt (it worked in my Boox Max, so I guess it works an all Onyx devices):
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...26#post3096926 The instructions above are for linux. Please, note that there is a little misprint in the Makefile. The correct code should be: Code:
all: echo unpack pack unpack: rm -rf fs abootimg -x boot.img mkdir fs (cd fs; zcat ../initrd.img | cpio -i) repack: (cd fs; find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../newinitrd.img) abootimg --create newboot.img -f bootimg.cfg -k zImage -r newinitrd.img clean: rm -rf bootimg.cfg fs initrd.img newboot.img newinitrd.img zImage |

I have tried an App today from the Play store called Keypad Lock Screen. Previews and works well until the device powers off, then it forgets the there was a lock screen. Seriously what were they thinking here? Do they not realize that there might actually be scientists who carry around sensitive documents that should not fall into the wrong hands? Do I dare turn on device encryption and test that today as well? Would a jump to Android 4.4 be possible and show us a fix? All ideas are welcome. I am also contacting their Support to see what kind of customer service they have for answering this type of question. Last edited by mr9v9; 11-16-2017 at 09:00 PM. Reason: Update |

The method works although I had to modify the original instructions for new users in case somebody comes here from a google search. I use Arch but instructions can be adapted for other Distros, and I already have adb and fastboot tools installed. First install abootimg. Now grab the latest update.zip for your device here. *Make sure you use the correct file and Android version, and that you are also running the same build! Open update.zip and extract the boot.img. Open a terminal in this location and run these commands: Code:
abootimg -x boot.img mkdir fs cd fs; zcat ../initrd.img | cpio -i nano init.freescale.rc Code:
setprop ro.ONYX_DISABLE_KEYGUARD 1 Code:
find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../newinitrd.img cd .. abootimg --create newboot.img -f bootimg.cfg -k zImage -r newinitrd.img Power off your device, and then hold next page and power for 7 seconds until you see the Boox logo stop. With your computer if you have fastboot tools installed, type fastboot devices to confirm you are in fastboot mode. Then on your terminal type Code:
fastboot flash boot newimage.boot Code:
target didn't report max-download-size sending 'boot' (3674 KB)... OKAY [ 3.507s] writing 'boot'... OKAY [ 0.297s] finished. total time: 3.804s Type fastboot reboot and test your pin code lock screen. If all is well then you can use your device! If not then you need to repeat the process with the correct file, or revert using the original boot.img from the zip. Last edited by mr9v9; 11-19-2017 at 04:49 AM. Reason: Update |
