[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demolition23:
My phone is faulty, but everything works except proximity sensor, which makes my devise unusable after i end a call. I really need a way to disable the proximity sensor.

Im using cm7 rom.

Please help me out to make my phone usable again!

EDIT

I put this in the build.prop to completely disable it, but it doesnt work

EDIT2

This didnt work either

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMk1S90MjbY

EDIT3

Can anyone tell me where is the Proximity sensor driver??

I want to remove it.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmec2:
Have you tried

Settings > Display > In-accurate proximity
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demolition23:
I dont have this setting.

Im on CM7.1 official.

Is this setting available in nightly builds?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmec2:
Oh, maybe it's not in the official builds because it's just for the Defy.

It is in Quarx's CM7.1.0-11 Stable (11.11.11)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demolition23:
I'm downloading now.

What does this option do exactly?

I m having a hardware problem, and i think only if disable the sensor will do for me.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmec2:
It says it forces the screen to turn back on after a call ends, but I haven't tried it - I just saw it in the settings when I was looking for something else :rolleyes:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demolition23:
I just flash the cm72-111125.0850-NIGHTLY-Defy.zip and I try the setting

and did the job!

Million thanks to mmec2 !!!!:D

But the big thanks goes always to Epsylon3, the boss ;)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jupiter126:
it works! huge thanks

Hi, I had the same issue and tryed all the tricks around without success, until I read your post, flashed the 7.2 (actual quarkx), checked the option, and it is fixed indeed. Huge thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] akira02rex:
Been working on a build of CM7 - got my laptop back up and running and thought I'd tackle this. Last night I started the build and woke up this morning to this:

make: *** No rule to make target `vendor/samsung/c1-common/proprietary/BCM4330B1_002.001.003.0128.0162.hcd', needed by `out/target/product/galaxys2att/system/bin/BCM4330B1_002.001.003.0128.0162.hcd'. Stop.

Any idea how to get passed this? From the looks of it, I was close to the end of the build process :mad:

Thanks I appreciate any help...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] akira02rex:
Sort of got this resolved. Codeworkx simply stated its an issue of missing proprietary files. Ill have to copy them over which I'm not sure why they weren't in the first place...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
Thread moved to General since there is no Dev work being made here... yet. If you happen to fix your issue and want to make a rom, then start a new thread in the Dev section with a link pointing to the rom.

Thank you and have a nice day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garyd9:
Debugging a compiler error isn't development? Perhaps the so called development forums are becoming too focused on showing off wares, with little or no attention being paid to actually developing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
At first he was asking a question about decompiling. Since he answered his own questions, I threw it in General. Since he is not offering a rom/kernel/tool then this does not belong in the Dev section.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] akira02rex:
Thanks I guess.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] blahze9:
Sounds like a developer question to me... perhaps the development forum should be renamed to Roms or something
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
Read the sticky in the Dev forum...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yoderk:
Exactly, it is a question so it would belong in the Q/A sections not the development section. This stuff isn't new, read the forum rules. Quite simple to understand if you ask me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] akira02rex:
The way I see it, its just red's opinion. He sees it fit in here then so be it, his opinion and we just have to live with it. Regardless its still all search able information.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Divine_Madcat:
Actually, it is not his opinion, it is xda rules. The only posts in the development boards, are posts discussing actual development. If the post is a question, it has no business being on the development board. Examples of acceptable dev topics:

Release of a new/updated rom

Release of a new/updated kernel

Release of a new/updated hardware specific patch

Release of a new/updated hardware specific app

*Technical * discussion of ongoing hardware /software development (rooting, bootloader, etc). Asking when root wil be available is not technical.

If your title for a post is in the form of a basic question, it does not belong in development, period.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garyd9:
I have to play devils advocate... but with the understanding that I'm doing just that and not really arguing...

I posed a similar question to Red in a PM. If I have a question asking how I can Retro fit Samsung propriatary shared libs into a new program I'm writing, or where I might find headers for those libs, where does that question go? Its certainly technical and development related... it also doesn't seem to fit in the q&a subforum (which doesn't seem to have any dev questions but is more general.)

Yet, its a question, and doesn't belong in the "development" subforum under a strict interpretation of the rules (which seems to say that the dev forum is only used to advertise mods, roms, etc)

Red suggested the q&a subforum. I disagree, but he is a moderator.

Not being sarcastic here, but perhaps we really do need new subforums for posting links to the result of development and allow the development subforums to go back to discussing that and other development. (Or vice versa) long ago when I first joined xda, discussing development was encouraged (and the primary purpose of xda-DEVELOPERS.)

Take Care

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zelendel:
I understand how you feel and would love it myself but at this point and time with the influx of Soo many non tech minded people that don't know the diff Between a normal question and a development related question that all questions are pointed to the Q&A.

Thanks man, this will probably save me lots of work ! :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] breakfastdude:
Thanks for the list!

I do have an inquiry though: I have been uninstalling some bloatware using Titanium Backup, but I have some six apps which incessantly (and magically) reinstall themselves after every reboot. I want them permanently removed, as I don't have any use of them. I've been stuck in this cycle for at least a dozen times now, and I wouldn't want to resort to the "no reboot, no problem" option. Would you happen to know of a way around this? Here's the list of the said apps:

Foursquare

McAfee Security

+Plus

UEFA.com

xl_launcher

Xperia Hot Shots

If it helps, here are some of my phone stats:

MT15i

Rooted, Locked Bootloader

Stock Kernel

Stock ROM (4.0.2.A.0.42)

Thanks in advance!

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] littlezec:
Hi,

I've already removed all the bloatware in my Neo with Flashtool thanks to this post.

Very appreciated dude ;)

But there's still an annoying thing I want to remove, it's the data traffic switch in the upper left corner like the image attached.

I've removed the 'datatrafficswitch.apk' but it remains there, although the app is not installed.

Is the 'datatrafficswitch.apk' related to this notification toogle/switch?

If yes, why it's not removed?

And if not, does anyone knows how to remove this crap?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] devrruti:
Go grammar but not nazi, and please correct me, I'm not good at English and I copied a lot of this stuff from other places to have it here, it is not in order, complete or corrected at all. Please contribute and improve it
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] devrruti:
Weird, I can uninstall whatever with titanium backup pro, (free has some limitations) you can use a root file explorer too and delete them wherever they are, like root explorer, file expert, ghost explorer...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] breakfastdude:
Problem Solved!

I did some more research, and apparently the unwanted behavior could be traced to the Generic Singapore firmware distro (which I think I have, given that I live in the SE Asian region). I've fortunately found a solution within these forums for this. For those of you who are having the same problem, you might want to check this thread out: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1326733&page=2 (and TS, you might want to add this info to your post).:)

And oh yeah, I used Ghost Commander for the removal of the apk's (since Root Explorer isn't free and File Expert wasn't able to mount rw in my phone).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] littlezec:
Any help on this? :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] devrruti:
No idea, but clearing notifications of the drop down curtain, it disappears temporarily. Use some log viewer to identify when that happens and what apk or jar is involved. Or try to delete that icon. Or simply ignore it, it seems a good solution too.

How did you get circular battery icon? I'd like to know

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] maddy2701:
Check if you have deleted the file "SEMCSetupWizard.apk" I had done the same and after lot of trial and error I found this file is necessary for the lockscreen and for communication via PC companion.

Im attaching the file in case you require, put the same in system/app folder with rr-r--r-- permission.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tigermess:
Contributing and adding

I have MK16i 4.0.2.A.0.62 but our phones are very similar + can't contribute to Arc's dev forum yet

Safe to remove:

Businesscenter.apk --- Moxier pro & antivirus setup widget

SemcEmail.apk (or Email.apk) --- default email app, not necesarry when using gmail

storefront.apk --- fun & downloads widget

& widgetdigitalclock.apk is called digitalclockwidget.apk here

I also researched Ant* services

AntHalService.apk

antradioservice.apk

antstatenotifer.apk

Ant is technology&protocol similar to wi-fi or bluetooth only with less energy consumption and is used to communicate with devices supporting Ant, which are mostly fitnesss & wellness devices. Unless you don't use those, it should be safe to delete. Confirmed in Arc forum by Neo user - 30 days without these and without any problem.

Still curious about DRM services though - if apps can still rely upon them even if though DRM information in phone is ruined.
