[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jschall:
I have disabled my HOME button following the tip in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18473677#post18473677

Now the HOME button does nothing in most programs, but it acts as a SCROLL_TO_TOP button in my browser.

But it still keeps flashing - which is annoying when I'm reading in a darkened room.

I don't know why it flashes - maybe because there are unacknowledged notifications.

Is there any way to disable the flashing of the HOME button?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Diknak@gmail.com:
It flashes when you have an email notification. Just close that notification and it will stop flashing. But I really wish they provided an option to turn that off.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] donaldson:
@jschall

If your A100 is rooted...

If you have something like RootExplorer...

Go to /system/lib/hw

Mount the dir as r/w

Now rename this file: lights.vangogh.so

to something like: lights.vangogh.so.bak

Reboot.

No more blinking notification light.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jschall:
@donaldson:

Thank you for that tip. It worked, BUT...

while the home button no longer flashes, the screen is stuck at full brightness.

So, I renamed the file the way it was, I can live with the flashing HOME button.
[HTC Sensation] AbrahamLinksys:
If anyone is missing manual permission management / override on Sense roms, and haven't found anything on forums, there's one app that can do that: Permission denied

Why should i change any of my apps' permissions?

If you have apps that need to learn some discipline while in sleep mode, there's a chance that you can regulate them. For me, Facebook and Opensignal Maps were the biggest battery drainers, until i revoked their permissions to wake the phone from sleep.

Why did i post it?

There wasnt any thread regarding manual permission management for "basic users". Anyone using this app, or anything similar, please share your experiences / thoughts, especially if you have anything better. Also, this is my first and probably only thread, so dont be shy to shout my head off ;) first off, i cannot post links, sry.

Got a strange problem with my HTC 7 Mozart (purchased unlocked), it wont save the SMSC no matter what. Connection Setup app does not set the SMSC, manually entering it does not save the SMSC. The phone has been sent to HTC for repair 3 times and they report 'no fault'. I have tried 2 SIMs any they both work 100% in an unlocked Samsung Omnia 7, but some some reason not on the Mozart. Anyone got any ideas what to try, other than the send the phone back and get a refund?

Hey,

My Optimus battery does't go that long and i don't even use it that much

so i installed advanced task killer free, so i could close all of my apps and such but now ive noticed thats apps just opened there selfs up when i dident even used then

so ive looked if i could turn it off that apps started thenself up but nothing found

so is there any one who could help me in this

and oyeah if there is alrdy topic on this just link it dont be an ass about! ive looked and dident find anything helping my probleme so atleast i tryed

thx upahead and sry im from belgium so excuse my english :p

[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Long story short; don't worry about it. They're not hurting anything, in fact killing them is wasting resources.
[LG Optimus 2x] Martiann:
Why does my batery drain so fast then xD they gotte help atleast a little bit in then situtation ?

grts
[LG Optimus 2x] kolo2x:
I'm really not sure but some apps are triggered to start by some events internal to the phone (ex. Text message, Alarm). Those apps that auto-start are likely those types.

Killing them from an app manager will not do since they will start again. This is just my guess hearing from one of my friends who has experience with app development.

I have pretty good batt drains on most roms. And drain could be caused by a lot of stuff - signal strength, data usage, etc.
[LG Optimus 2x] Martiann:
Oh okay :p make sense so maybe if a bought a new battery cuz this one rly goes out fast

when i bought the phone he was alrdy charged for about 50%
[LG Optimus 2x] kolo2x:
Yep that could work. Give it a few charge-discharge cycles. Some batteries just need some exercise :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Supupa:
Relating to your battery problem, having 3g turned on seems to be the culprit. Try turning it off when its not needed (:
[LG Optimus 2x] Meltus:
Juice Defender is pretty good for preserving battery life.

That in conjunction with SetCPU profiles (underclocked when screen's off, etc.) will extend your battery life by quite a bit :)

[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
Screen protectors are recommended, gglass isn't scratch proof.

Sgp screen protectors are good, i find the crystal ones good but show fingerprints, just means more cleaning.

Cases can be useful to protect the body of the phone, but with the samsung 2000mah battery in (its great btw) case selection is hard, just ordered some eBay bumpers to try.

Mhl cable is nice if you are using a stock based rom, and a OTG cable is nice for plugging thumb drives etc in.

Can you explain more detail

Thanks
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] rayford85:
take a zip from a rom down load or a theme you downloaded and delete all the files out, leave the meta-inf alone dont touch it now place your file in the right folder.. for systemui.apk place it in system/app folder and flash it it recovery.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] sigurd_LU:
Better use this empty update zip made by he_stheone64, it's easier: http://www.multiupload.com/THCTLMRDBU

Btw, copying the whole drawable-hdpi also changes other stuff, better extract the SystemUI.apk from the theme, find the right icons and drag and drop them into the original SystemUI.apk (don't extract this one) from your rom. Then put it in the update zip and flash it.

Remember to do a backup first.

[Nook Touch General] mikeholloway:
Been struggling with Touchnooter 1.6.24 and 1.6.22 for several weeks with a fairly new Nook Touch. Some Android system and app buttons on the very bottom don't respond. These are key buttons such as the Android Market accept terms of use, the Add app Finish button, and the SlideMe accept button. I found a work around for the home page bottom buttons that at least lets me access the app drawer. If the status bar is set to hidden the bottom buttons come up a very small amount and then respond. I haven't found a way to hide the status bar in apps though. I'm currently trying to figure out how to get the Nook recognized as a device so I can load the driver thats supposed to let me use adb to install apps. I've found that putting apps on the SD card prior to installing Touchnooter and starting the adk in Root Explorer just gives an error that non Android Market apps are blocked.

The real solution is to get everything on the screen. Presumably all the bottom buttons will work if the height could be shrunk. How do I do this?

Could BN be trying to block rooting by introducing small changes into recent Nooks?
[Nook Touch General] mikeholloway:
Stumbled on a work around once I figured out how to use adb. All the google hits about using USB for adb had me confused. Once I realized that the SDK adb is made to work over wifi I was able to install Dolphin browser. I discovered that it has a setting for landscape, and that its add-ons are loaded through the Android Market. AM pops up in landscape mode and the accept button is no longer on the bottom. Now I can install software from the AM app and I can start making good use of my Nook.

I'm convinced that this isn't a peculiar fault of my Nook and that the Android window is not set right with Touchnooter for at least some Nooks, maybe the more recent ones. Unless I can find another app that sets landscape for all apps, or that allows the window size to be customized, there are still major problems with the Touchnooter package on my Nook. Can't uninstall, for example, since the prompt button is on the very bottom. Have to rm with adb.

Hey guys I don't know how to make Music.apk run after installing it on Walter's Defy+ ROM...

I searched the forum and did what ppl say: put Music.apk to system/app and change permissions to rw-r--r-- reboot the phone.

After that, depending of Music.apk, I have immediate FC (with CM7 Music.apk)or I can enter the app and get FC after selecting music track to play (with MS2Ginger 1.1 Music.apk) :confused:

I really don't like BlurMusic.apk so I would like to change it somehow :(

Please help...:(

ps. After removing every Music app from phone I managed to install Leaked Google Music app 4.0.1: Link

But that way it's not system app but User's...And I don't like this Music app that much (widget is so ugly and stupid) :D

It's my favorite music player app and you can install light blue skin that nicely goes with 2.3.4 blur firmware.

How to do that and where?
[Defy General] ejstubbs:
I think the permissions should be rwxr--r--. Worked for me.
[Defy General] rishi2100:
copy music.apk in system/app via root explorer(before copying press 'mount r/w' icon at the top, it will than change to r/o). long press the file you just copied. from the menu choose permissions and from there enable read/wright/execute in user category. then reboot
[Defy General] Proda:
Nope, it's not gonna happen :(

So, Im using ES file explorer, but with root rights and mounted File system...I did change permissions to rwx r-- r--, and rebooted, and FC :D

Tried with cm7 Music.apk, with miui Music.apk, with MS2Ginger 1.1 Music.apk...

I don know what else should I try...Maybe reflash the whole thing and start from the beggining?

Oh yeah, I uninsttaled blur Music.apk...Maybe that is why nothing is workin...But that is a silly thought :D

............

Or just install PlayerPro :D

[Motorola Droid X2] mastafunk:
So i have decompiled/edited/recompiled system apk's before with no issue. I usually copy the oringinal META folder and androidmanifest.xml to the new apk..

To invert settings as well as some other apps (im starting with settings first) some edits to androidmanifest.xml were made. So obviously bringing the old one to the new apk isnt going to work. I have tried many solutions that were hinted @ in various threads and forums to no avail.

Best i can figure is i will need to resign all system apps to a new key? Before i go about doing all that i would like to confirm i am on the right track as i have yet to find a thread where someone solved their issue doing this. Also in my mind this doesnt make sense as i see lots of downloads for inverted system apps floating around.. how would they work if they were resigned with different keys?

Is there no resign solution for edits to androidmanifest.xml, and if not why are there so many threads where people are showing what and where to make edits for various mods?

Please only answer if you know the answer and can provide steps that can be reproduced to make it happen.

As a side note to mods... most of these sorts of questions i found in my search were moved to the theme sections. I find the policy strange that these sorts of dev/hacking questions cant be asked in the dev/hacking forums where they would likely be answered by any number of dev's that fequent those areas...

[TouchPad General] NSBaumsteiger:
A Great Workaround

I had the same issue. I then found this post.

The sound quality is much better out of the built-in speakers and the buzzing/ distortion is minimalized when the screen powers down. Now the distortion only occurs when volume is above 3/4 of it's maximum and ONLY when the screen powers off.

In addtion, this has fixed distortion created when using the DSP equalizer.

I used the Heimdall One-Click and it seemed to complete okay. Trouble started when I rebooted. I can't seem to redo it because the the One click utilities don't recognize the phone as connected.
