I'm using an Oppo R17 Pro running Android 10, unrooted.
ADB hacks applied for Macrodroid. Macrodroid has device admin enabled.
I can't seem to get the "Screen lock off" setting to do anything. It doesn't unlock my screen at all.
I've looked for macros in the community marketplace (or whatever it's called) and none of them helped.
I'm using a swipe pattern for my lockscreen.
The closest solution I got to is using UI interaction to swipe the screen, but it still doesn't work because pattern unlock requires continous motion of the gesture. Let's say the screen unlock pattern is like an L shape. I can make the UI interaction to do exactly that. The first UI interaction moves from top to bottom and the 2nd UI interaction moves from left to right. However, it is not a continous gesture motion. There is no sleep in between the UI interactions and the whole animation looks smooth, but the problem is that the UI interactions will only move from X to Y and then stops. The first UI interaction stops at the bottom of where the 2nd UI interaction starts. It essentially releases the tap at that point. No matter how quickly you connect the 2 UI interactions together, they are not continous.
If you enable the pointer location setting in Developer Options, you can see where your cursor/taps are moving. When the UI interaction runs, it looks continous and that is because of how fast it runs, but it's actually not a continuous motion. I've tried adjusting the duration of the UI interaction, but it doesn't help.
The ONLY other workaround I have is to set the unlock to use pin code. Doing this will only require individual taps/clicks and using UI interaction to achieve this worked. However, this also means when I'm unlocking the phone regularly, I would have to use pin code and I don't like that.
Is there any other way to unlock the screen using perhaps some sort of ADB command or some other feature in MacroDroid?
