Ok not sure if this is the correct place to post so if its not op please move it.

Ok im trying to mod the launcher2.apk to remove default wallpapers and some homescreen widgets i have used apktool to decompile and i have removed wallpapers and widgets plus all references then i compile using apktool if i push the file to my system dir and reboot all works fine but the problem is if i add this new launcher2.apk to my custom oxygen rom then flash the phone boots up but launcher2.apk does not load im sure this is a sign problem. Does any one know how to solve this problem and what sign keys does the oxygen system apks use.

The reason im trying to do this is i dont use any default wallpapers and i can get the launcher2.apk from 4.68mb to less then 500kb i will share the apk after its done. Thanks in advance.
[Android] CallMeVentus:
Did you try installing it as a normal app ?

Forever living in my Galaxy Ace using XDA App
[Android] ngagephone:
Yes it just says application not installed.
[Android] ngagephone:
Any one?
[Android] WoZZeR999:
If you recompiled the app, try resigning it.
[Android] ngagephone:
With what ?i tryed sign it with testkeys and platform and still does the same thing.
[Android] ngagephone:
Please delete.

Sent from my chameleonized SGS2 using my brain.
[Android] ZaySk:
I was under the impression that if you're going to make changes to an .apk file, you had to decompile the .apk and make your changes, then take the folders you changed and push it to the regular launcher2.apk instead of recompiling and using the recompiled .apk. Doing it that way keeps the original signature intact.

I could be completely wrong though, so I would appreciate it if someone could confirm or deny this.

Edit: Just realized this thread was from 2011... My bad.

Hi all,

Posted this in the General Q&A area but only got views in the last 3 days and no responses so I dont know if it's cause I'm a noob or what.

Was following the guide here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905003 to rollback my DHD so I can run VISIONary but come up in the CMD with an error stating *device not found*

Power Switch

Save power by turning off your device's screen whenever you shut the case!

Power Switch is a tool for devices with cases - somewhat like the SmartCover, it will turn off the screen when you shut the case.

If you have a device with poor battery life, Power Switch can save tons of juice by switching it off entirely after a given amount of time asleep.

Features:

- Sleep seconds after shutting case

- Automatic shutdown

- Set up a schedule using Night Mode

- Configure sensor sensitivity

- Facedown to turn screen off

- Persistent notification

- Uses almost no power

The app has gone through an extensive testing process here at XDA under another name. Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen, you're the best!

However, this testing showed that some features of that app were not all that useful, and some were conspicuously absent. To save both you and us a lot of grief, we made the second-generation Killswitch.

If you have any comments or suggestions, please use this thread. I daresay Im known as a kindly developer always open to suggestions.

If you want to upgrade from Killswitch, send an email to the address in my signature containing the words "KILLSWITCH REFUND" and the order numbers of both Killswitch and Power Switch. I will then refund you the cost of Killswitch, and you will have Power Switch.

Lite

This version limits the cool down timer - it works just as well, but doesnt save as much juice!

https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.powerswitch.demo&feature=more_from_developer

Pro

Has all the juice-saving power and customization!

[Android Apps and Games] eRajesh:
Works on Gingerbread handsets?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yes, works on 2.0+. No need for root either.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Any opinions?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Anything else?
[Android Apps and Games] Aztriltus:
Pretty clever implementation of the dialog box, all of the buttons on that is very useful and I will be using this app for my tablet :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Enjoy, and please leave suggestions and market reviews, they help a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Any suggestions guys?
[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:
I like the app's style and potential.

Maybe you could give consideration to some of the following as potential future features:

- Option to mute/unmute

- Scheduled backup for rooted devices?

- Check for updates (scheduled times?)

- Change data sync frequencies

- Enable/disable location services - root (Latitude etc)

- Kill/enable WiFi/mobile data

- Auto reply to SMSs (option to specify time period)

None of the above are at all thought through by me but you might see some potential that perhaps you hadn't been considering. If you think it's all a load of cr@p. Just ignore this (at least you got a free bump).
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Mate, these are good ideas, but the app really has a different purpose. I am in fact working on something else where these ideas would be more appropriate...
[Android Apps and Games] Tivo7:
Works great for its intended purpose. Gracias.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Good to see you in this thread tivo, thanks for the thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] yorkey:
So based on the description of what this does...

It has no reason to access the internet, but it does.

It has no readon to read my phoen state etc, but it does

It also has no reason to modify my SD card contents, but it does.

I'd like to try this as it may be quite useful. But Im sorry, there's no way Im going to try it given the permissions it seems to require for no stated reason!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Man id really love to reply in a smarmy, pushy-noob destroying, paranoia dispelling way, but you do have a point.

Internet - license, debugging, flurry (very coarse, national level)

Read data - debugging

SD - debugging log creation

Phone state - disables itself during calls (duh)

See i could have said anything there and you would never know (ehm google, htc, amazon).

But im a community dev here. With quite a few apps and a little respect i like to think.
[Android Apps and Games] yorkey:
Ive nothing against you or your app, :o but having looked at many things to buy on the market, Ive yet to buy a single one due to the level of permissions they seem to require with no reason given.

I suspect flurry isnt used for poping up annoying ads for "Also by the same author". Yes I know! But I found one free game I liked that insisted on running a background service whose sole purpose seemed to be to download advert details and show notifications of the other games produced by the publisher. A few in game ads I can live with, but not that level of annoyance.

Sorry rant over. Time to find the credit card I think :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
flurry is just a statistics service, the thing youre talking about is called airpush, its evil incarnate.
[Android Apps and Games] yorkey:
Unfortunately it seems this isnt going to work with my transformer and my case :(

Ive turned the sensitivity down to 1% and it still thinks its too dark and starts to turn the screen off. If I set it to 0% it doesnt start to turn things off at all. This is under energy saving lights or standard fluorescent lights which may be having some effect I guess. Certainly the front camera is quite dark under these lights.

Additionally, when I close the cover I suspect the screen light is reflecting from the cover and lighting the sensor enough to keep things still running unless the screen is really dark. (Even with the cover closed I can see light from the screen through gaps) Turning the sensitivity to a larger percentage would fix that of course, but then it will start turning off while Im using it :(
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
What case is this?
[Android Apps and Games] yorkey:
Sorry, meant to add that in!

Its this Tuff-Luv one
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I dont see any holes in it...
[Android Apps and Games] yorkey:
Not sure I understand!

Refering to Image4 with the tablet on its own, stood up for use...

There are two circular holes at the top of the screen. The right one is the camera, the left the light sensor. I think the velcro strap to the left of the light sensor (which holds the tablet in that part of the case) is keeping the cover from fitting flush to the screen surround. As the screen surround it not flat. with the cover "closed" I can clearly still see the light from the screen through the gap this creates.

It works fine if the screen is dark,e.g. from the power switch settings screen but my home screen is very light so it doesnt work there!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Oh I see... crazy!
[Android Apps and Games] Gunthermic:
So I tired this on My newly aquire Thrive.. apears to work. What kind of stats do you have as far as saving battery? And the paid for one saves more battery? Can you explain what you have done as to why the paid for version saves more vs the lite version.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
It simple really, you can reduce all the timers in the free version, making the reaction quicker and thereby keeping the screen off for longer.
[Android Apps and Games] Gunthermic:
So really only 12-20 secs per screen going off.

Okay last night sitting in a darker area, it kept wantign to turn off. I know you have some settings for senistivity and such. What do you recommend to deal with night time, or darker areas to compensate for this?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Use night mode or increase teh delay. Low lightng conditions cant be helped much if your sensor is crumby...
[Android Apps and Games] nscxp2005:
Hi ftgg99,

Whats the best settings to use on the lite version for the Iconia A500?

My screen does not seem to switching off.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I dont know i dont have an iconia. You have to work it out yourself...
[Android Apps and Games] yorkey:
Is there any way of showing what the current level of the "light sensor" is in the same units this app uses? Even better if it has some sort of history.

This would help a lot in picking the right value.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Oh come on, it should take 2 minutes of trial and error to find these values...
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Updated, added screen locking sound :)
[Android Apps and Games] nscxp2005:
I was just wondering.

Like a smart cover shuts off the screen, would it be possible when we open the cover will the screen come back on?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
It wouldnt work too well im afraid. You would only be turning off the screen, not putting the device to sleep...
[Android Apps and Games] nscxp2005:
ok, Thanks for your response.

EDIT Just want to let you know I am having an issue with your app. It turns off the screen, but when I come back to the device it has shut it off completely.

Do you know why this is happening?

I am running the free verion.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yes, you set it to auto-shutdown...
[Android Apps and Games] koopakid08:

[Android Apps and Games] aburgthing:
I know I'm late to the party especially those responses as to "why I need this app"?

If I may, I'd like to add my 1 cent response. Android is about choice. In the daily comparisons and wars re: Android vs. IOS, most complaints about Android center on it's core out of the box functionality. You get what you get when you choose IOS and it's offerings are pretty darn good. However with Android you get to choose so much more and if there is something missing thanks to apps like these you are able to have them. Recently I was playing with a co-workers Ipad 2, doing side-by-side comparisons. As always I was happy with the results and as a long time Android user and aficionado happy to say I left another iPad user with a bruised ego. However, they closed their tablet cover and bam...the screen shut off. Now being the proud Android user I am, I didn't say a thing but I scratched my head wondering why the heck didn't the creators of Honeycomb think of that? Along comes a smart developer like this who creates just what I need to have this added functionality.

I hope that explains in real world application why you "need" or would want this app. Thanks to the developer; it works without a hitch adding to the long list of useful apps and utilities that add to the soldiers of the Android army.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Thank you!

Did you remember to grabt it admin permissions? Its the second setting, just below "enable power switch" - works perfectly on my 8.9...

I use 40% light sensitivity.
[Android Apps and Games] erictham83:
is the device need root to use this (samsung galaxy tab 10.1 P7500)

Hi, I am kinda new in the tablet usage and I was so interested on this app and would like to purchase the PRO version for my tab 10.1 (p7500 model) since it will greatly help to reduce the battery usage.

But before i buy it, can i know do i need to root my device to use this application?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
No you dont need root, but its better to have it.

Also, you know theres a free version you can test right?
[Android Apps and Games] Arbelzapf:
Is there a way to make this app only shut off the screen, not lock the phone?

I use a longer timeout for the security lock to kick in (especially on my tablet) so that it's more convenient to use the device again after a short amount of time (after the display timeout was hit). Your app makes it so easy to just toss the tablet on the sofa and forget about it. But in its current state, I have to enter my PIN every single time -no matter if the security lock timeout was already hit :/
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Ill see what i can do... but frankly i find that the first thing anyone who gets a new tablet does it turn off security.
[Android Apps and Games] Arbelzapf:
That would be awesome!!

I have my tablet set to ask for a pin after half an hour and unlock with CM7's custom gesture feature. For me, that's safe enough for a device that pretty much never leaves the house. But I get your concern.

I'm not sure though: Wouldn't it only then change anything if you have set different timeouts for screen lock and security lock? If both are the same anyway, it shouldn't make any difference what option you choose in your app

[Android Apps and Games] scaryshark:
Screen off vs Lockscreen

Hi I was wondering if there is any difference between just turning the screen off or locking the screen.

Because when the screen is locked the phone/tablet goes into sleep mode doesn't it? Which usually winds down the CPU and saves a little more battery.

Does the same apply if you just turn the screen off or does that leave the CPU running at full wake mode?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
If the screen is off, your device sleeps. That's it.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanwray:
Normally that means the video stream index is screwed. Down to how u or some1 else encoded it.

Play on computer using VLC and if prompted by VLC "rebuild index".

Or encode it again in a nice format with keyframes and/or indexes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joey2o11:
Well the phone doesn't natively recognize ntfs, so that's not really a solution unless you want to run script files to mount and unmount the card. A more practical solution would be to re encode the movies. I'm assuming these 4gb files are 720p or similar resolution. As the s2 has a resolution of 800x480 anything larger is pointless.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3l1:
good point, there is really no need for 720p or higher resolutions! best way is to reencode to a mp4 with a resolution of 480p/i and if that file is really bigger than 4Gb, why not split it in half? It's not like your phone can handle a 6h (or more? not sure :)) movie with one charge. Or the bitrate is ridiculously high, bloating the file unneccessariely.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalabiYau:
Hi I'm on a JPY+voodoo. Pretty happy but one complaint about lag. Even with voodoo on when I open several apps and then go back to contacts, or SMS, it takes several seconds to open them (black window). I guess it is just the time spent to empty and refill RAM with new app. My question is: Is there the stock SGS GB free from this lag/delay? JVS, JVQ or JVR I mean... Are there CM7/MIUI free from it? Just to make sure that it is worthwile to change now without waiting a more stable version...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oswade:
It's a bit riskier, but removing journal from ext4 made my phone a lot faster (on jvr and now jvs). booting the phone and loading apps especially seems faster.

Secondly, talon and galaxian are the best kernels. Personally i prefer talon for voodoo color and also it seems to run smoother with the conservative governor.

Another thing you can do is to increase the minimum frequency of your phone (ie. I did mine from 100 to 200mhz using tegrak overclock). this means faster scaling due to less steps (especially on conservative governor).

Finally, bigmem kernels may also help your problem by giving you more free ram. I use the latest talon bigmem kernel (gives u an extra 10-15mb ram). You do sacrifice HD video recording but I think its worth it if u dont do much video recording (you can always temporarily flash back another kernel on the odd occasion that you need it).

Oh and one more thing. Delete all the apps you don't use from your phone (especially system/apps)

EDIT: seems i went a bit off topic. I have heard that CM7 is faster than stock, but it seems to sacrifice battery life a little (not sure if this is still the case). And I think all stock roms have a little bit of lag, at least after a while. I think JVR/JVS are significantly better than the previous gingerbread roms (i have tried a few), but rom/kernel customisation is still important for the best user experience.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrAndroid12:
It's really weird how you said "stock roms lag". As far as I know, no other ROM besides samsung and iOS has smooth web browser scrolling
