UI Integration actions when phone is locked.

I have an Oppo Find X3 Pro which has a system setting that enables or disables the status bar on the lock screen. Having this option permits UI integration actions on the quick setting screen.

The attached macro is an example that toggles WiFi.

This is very useful when in airplane mode. From Android 10 onwards Google have removed the capability to control WiFi from any app, only from the status bar, when in airplane mode.

The attached macro will toggle WiFi when the phone is locked and in airplane mode, via a suitable trigger. This could be screen on & off, which is what I use.

I turn on airplane mode via a macro at night to save battery. Another macro turns off airplane mode in the morning. The attached macro with screen on & off triggers will toggle wifi, when I turn my phone on or off when in airplane mode.

I enable the status bar on lock screen for the duration of the macro - ~ 1s - to minimise the security risk. I wouldn't recommend enabling this setting permanently as it poses a security risk, as it provides access to turn off any or all of the radios.

I think other Oppo phones running coloros 11 are likely to have this system setting. Other phones may have the same function but with a different name. Unfortunately there will be phones that don't have this system setting.

Because it gives access to the quick setting pages, any of the icons can be toggled.
