Ctrl Alt Del Reboot

Post by robchoc » 02 Nov 2018 18:55

I was able to reboot my phone using my Bluetooth keyboard by using Ctrl Alt Del
Is there a way to use the same key sequence on Automagic to achieve a reboot, this is a non-rooted device.

If this works then we have a way to reboot without root.

No, no root no direct command to reboot. No root solution only can use Control UI. Since you are going to turn off/reboot the phone anyway, I don't think the UI distraction matter, you won't be distracted.

Use Control UI, add powerDialog(). And use the overlay to tap the reboot button. It is different in each android version and ROM, so you have to create it by yourself.

That works perfectly, however, the overlay did not show up and was under the dialog to reboot.
I could only get to it once I had dismissed the reboot dialog.

Yes, some UI will show up above the INFO button, especially system UI related (including quick settings). That's why we have requested to have additional action to trigger the INFO button. (probably already Work In Progress).
