Need help please

Hi,

I'd like to ask for your advice as this looks like the only solution that allows my tablet to have Google Play.

First of all I'd like to mention:

I've read all previous posts

I'm not interested in installing or viewing apps not compatible with my device or in my country

My friend has got a Maxell Maxtab C8 tablet which unfortunately doesn't provide Google Play in factory setting.

I've tried many things to get Google Play into that device but without any success. Finally I found a website (which I can't link to as this is my first post here and the forum doesn't allow me to post links - I can send it in a PM) confirmed information that this modded app works without any problems. So here's what I did so far:

Successfully rooted the device

Successfully set -rw to /system (using the "Mount /system (-rw / -ro)" app

Installed a non-modded Google Play app

Result is that Google Play still doesn't work - I mean the icon has been added, my Google account has been "assigned" to it on its first run and then every time error saying that Google Play stopped working and it simply won't run. I also tried the simple solution with "Android-Market_install_files" package (4 apps) - as I found out it's the official way how to use Google Play on devices where it's not preinstalled. Still it didn't work as well - again ended up with the same error (stopped working).

I was unable to test the modded version because I'm not able to find the file mentioned in this step:

There isn't any of these files. This could be possibly causing my problem, right? Please can anyone help? I've spent hours and hours testing various solutions from the web without any success. And please be kind as I'm not a developer, just a user...

Any help will be appreciated! Thanks!

Regards

PJ

After the success of Smart Screen OFF, I decided to publish another app called Smart Screen ON available in LITE and PRO version too.

Smart screen ON

DESCRIPTION:

Smart screen ON is an innovative app which turns your proximity sensor into a power button. If you have a big phone with no physical button on the front(Galaxy Nexus for example, you can turn on or turn off the phone just tapping or waving your hand (finger) on proximity sensor.

FEATURES:

When you change the settings, remember saving and restarting service using built in app specific button.

There are two mode available, both mode can coexist:

+WAVE MODE:

Wave (move) your hand/finger on proximity sensor, even without touching it.

You can set the amount of waves you want to use to turn on/off screen and the time between each wave.

Do you want to wave your hand quickly or slowly?

+TAP AND SWIPE MODE:

1) Tap proximity sensor using your finger;

2) Wait for the first vibration;

3) Swipe (remove) quickly your finger, before it vibrates for the second time.

You can set the time before the first and the second vibration.

+DISABLE SENSOR

You can also disable sensor after an amount of time you can set in the app panel.

The app will disable the whole service and proximity sensor after X time of inactivity.

+STATISTICS

Statistics include:

A)Smart Screen ONs;

B)Smart Screen OFFs;

C)Total power button saves;

D)The power used by your proximity sensor (which is very very low).

+START ON BOOT

If you check this, the app will start on boot.

+HIDE ICON

If you hide the icon, the app could be instable and could be killed by Android in low memory conditions.

+ENABLE FOR TURNING SCREEN OFF

The app has been created to turn screen off, but I also give you the ability to turn screen off.

+DISABLE WHEN LANDSCAPE

The sensor will stop working when landscape.

+INCOMPATIBILITY

-HTC Desire HD is not compatible with "wave mode" because its proximity sensor doesn't work as it should.

If you want to suggest new features, please contact me on this thread, at ddeleted@gmail.com or use my site www.androidhd.it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ock:
Link to lite version is online :)

Will test this out!

EDIT: I believe there's a bug with Android 4.0.4 for apps that turn off the screen?

It turns back on after turning off for a while, happens in other apps that lock the screen too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xt720:
Great app!

I would like to use your app in combination with an app like tasker, llama or locale. Could you make a shortcut to enable or disable your app? Or a locale plugin? This way I could enable/disable your app when certain conditions are met. For example when I am at home it is active and when I am at work it is disabled. I have tried to kill your app automatically with llama, but your app restarts by itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sandfreak:
Love this idea. Perfect for when I'm in class and want to glance at my phone. Bought the pro version, however it worked about 3 times then stopped. I see it was just updated so I have faith this will be looked at and become more stable. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDeleted:
I have updated both LITE and PRO versions. Fixed a couple of little bug (check the changelog). The update will be live within 1 hour or 2.

Friends, if you have any problem please contact me at ddeleted@gmail.com . If you only reply on the Store I can't help you.

If you know how to do it, record a logcat when you have a problem and send the .txt file to my email address. :)

App is working flawlessly on my Galaxy Nexus AOKP M5.

Note: between 1 on and 1 off you have to wait 2 seconds.

Cool app!

I confirm the bug tho, after screen off Widgetlocker turns the screen back on for a sec(Gnexus AOKP build 35).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sandfreak:
Just updated. Tried it about 15 times. Only worked once. I have it on the tap/swipe option. AOKP B35. CDMA GNex.

BTW, I'm not complaining, just providing info. I like the app. I'll be very happy with it once I get it working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDeleted:
Can you guys contact me here ddeleted@gmail.com attaching a logcat file?

(Try filter log by app name)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sandfreak:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Yuvs12:
I dont know how to extract a logcat file :X
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sandfreak:
Just use any logcat app (I use rootzbox, catlog is free) start recording. Try to do whatever function you're trying to accomplish, stop recording, it will save a txt file on your SD, navigate to file with file explorer of your choice, share file
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Yuvs12:
Kk, thanx, just sent it.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDeleted:
I just discovered a bug (I'm not sure it's related to my app or to the ROM).

You have to completely disable the lockscreen to get it working.

I'm currently investigating this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cymatty:
Its the same for me running stock 4.0.4 if that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDeleted:
There is a bug that affects Android 4.0.4.

I'm trying to find a workaround for 4.0.4 users.

Version 1.2 uploaded, check it out on the store.

It should work with 4.0.4 users without disabling the screen lock.

To workaround this, I had to kill timeout display timer (you have to turn off phone manually).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sandfreak:
Works great now. Thanks.

Edit: I didn't quite understand at first. Its a bummer that the screen stays on indefinitely now, unless manually turned off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDeleted:
This is the only workaround I found.

For some strange reason what worked for <=4.0.3 doesn't work on 4.0.4 .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDeleted:
Sorry I forgot to quote this. Yes it's possible, I think I'll implement this in the next release. I don't know when I'll start working on this because I'm overwhelmed by work at the university.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frankdeale:
It also vibrates twice as I am placing it in my Verizon holster case. I assume that is to let me know that the screen is not turning on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ka89:
nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDeleted:
It vibrates twice if you have enabled tap and swipe mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Leion:
A small feedback...

Works fine, however when I use this to turn on the screen, I do not see the lock screen immediately. I will see the screen from my last used app for a split second before the lock screen comes up.. If this can be tweaked, this will be perfect..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] produstoandaluz:
Cool app, I'll try it! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDeleted:
Already been explained in the previous posts. It's a 4.0.4 bug. :thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JerryPi:
Well on the other hand i am using your app with widgetlocker lockscreen replacement and it works great:-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] urthling:
Might be wishful thinking, but if somehow you could integrate it with WidgetLocker to disable it if the phone is on a known WiFi network, that would be awesome!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wingman1234:
Feature request

Been using the pro version for a couple of days. Great app!!

Have a couple of feature requests for the tap-and-swipe mode:

Since the second vibration just tells you that the phone WON'T be unlocked, would it be possible to add a setting to disable it? After you get used to unlocking the phone this way, the only time the second vibration happens is when it's NOT needed, like when it's in your pocket or when you hold it to you ear. So this would cut the number of unwanted vibrations by half.

Another great feature would be to give a setting to use a sound instead of the vibration. I think a soft "click" would work very well.

Maybe it's just me, but I just don't like the feel of the phone vibrating! I wish google would remove it from the lock screen too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDeleted:
1) Good idea to give the ability to remove the second vibration.

2) I tried with the audio in many ways, but lags when the screen is off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unconn:
I just bought the App because i wanted to Tap and release function. Working very well on HTC One S with Patter Lock screen (still have to have pattern because of Work Security). Liking it.

1. There seems to be no way to stop you app once it is start (from the app itself).

2. I have no idea what the life of a proximity sensor is. If I use this app for a year or two... Maybe it could make some sense to switch on and off the sensor at around the rate of the triggers. So if I had it set to 500 mils the it would only need to be on at 0mils and 500mils. If it is covered for both samples then it buzzes. This could be an option.

It might need a note that setting this switch might extend a 500mil sample. It could be between 500 and 749. The reason for this is that I might put my finger on it at -249 and have to wait for the first sensor. I do not think the extra time would make much of a difference in the mode though as I just wait for it to buzz once.

Think of all the proximity sensors you could save in addition to the button presses? Just a thought.

(Note: I have not thought out how much battery switching on and off the sensor would use. I see the sensor does stay on for the duration of calls though.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDeleted:
1. Just disable first checkbox "Enable Smart screen ON"

2. From wikipedia:

I don't understand well the rest of your though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unconn:
That is good enough. Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] firefueled:
I'd like a way to disable the notification.

Also, that icon should be smaller (its bigger than all the other ones, touching the limits on the notification bar and almost invading the "desktop") and colored in a shade of gray (full white icons stand among all the other dim ones).

Using an HTC Desire HD without problems except the lockscreen bug.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xhepera:
I skipped lite and went straight to Pro because I knew I would prefer the tap method. I've been using it for a couple of hours. Very nice so far! I had recently set up a navigation bar button to turn the screen off. Finding this app (by sheer chance, I might add) makes a perfect combo. I love this phone but have to admit some concern about the sturdiness of the power button. This puts my mind at ease. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDeleted:
This explains the number of emails I'm receiving :)

On galaxy nexus 4 and HTC Desire 2.3 the icon is shown perfectly. I'll see later what I can do.

Great ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heywtf:
I think it would be cool if the icon was just blank. I understand the permanent notification is necessary to stop Android killing the app when memory is low, but it would be nicer without the permanent icon in the status bar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDeleted:
It has been explained before this decision, user prefer not having blank icon :o

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E_man5112:
Why no tablet support? I'd much rather this on a tablet, where the power button is inconvenient to reach.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Retoño:
A few ideas

So far it works fine for me (I feel like a Jedi; this is not the droid I was looking for...)

However, is there a way to make this app to do something specific depending on the number of "wavings"?

What I mean is, could this app launch the web browser if I wave/slide 3 fingers (Sensor: High-Low-High-Low-High-Low-High) or the camera app if I only use 2 (Sensor: High-Low-High-Low-High)?

And another thing: I though this could be useful to automatically Wake my phone when taking it out of my leather case, but that just do: (Sensor: Low-High) and I guess should be (Sensor: High-Low-High). Maybe adding a hole to my case... Oh, forget this paragraph. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frankdeale:
I'm noticing that even though I am using tap and swipe, the phone will also accidently turn on if my hand passes over close to the sensor. Not really a problem but can I prevent this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDeleted:
Scheduled for the future.

Every device with a Proximity sensor is compatible.

It wouldn't be easy on ever device to wave the number of times you want. Not every sensor allows actions like this. You could only imagine the comments on the Market.

For this task I coded another app named Smart Screen Off :)

You can increase first vibration time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] signops:
Kicka$$ app. I was so worried about using and wearing down the power button on my Nexus. This works great. Have to test if it might accidentally switch on in the pocket.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E_man5112:
I thought mine had one, guess not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] urthling:
One small suggestion... would it be possible to enable numeric entry on the values? This would enable for better fine tuning vs. the sliders.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bk11222:
removed comment :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RodHQ:
Excelent idea, my unlock button is already faulty but, I'm having a problem with the app. I'm using the tap and slide feature. When I lock the screen if I set my phone down or put it in my pocket I can feel both vibrations (screen isn't unlocked) but if I pull it out, the first vibration doesn't come or takes a while to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] apisfires:
working with galaxy s3, thanks for the apps dude
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xhepera:
Liking this app quite a lot. When I have slide-to-unlock enabled and the screen turns on I experience various anomalies (usually a flash of the homescreen, then the unlock screen appears, with flickering in the upper third. I realize this is likely the 4.0.4 bug. However, early on in the thread someone mentioned that using Widget Locker gets rid of these issues. Can anyone who's using Widget Locker confirm this? Thanks! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xhepera:
I'm having a problem that I've not seen discussed here. When I have SSO enabled (using the "wave" method) my phone will freeze while I am on calls, necessitating power button long-press to get it going again. Is it possible that there is a conflict between the phone app and SSO both accessing the sensor? Anyone else had anything similar happen.

I know from using the tap-and-swipe method that I'd occasionally get vibration while on a call (telling me that SSO is still accessing the sensor).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] urthling:
Was working perfectly in ICS. But upgraded to stock JB, and now it's glitchy. If I recently had the phone on, then the app works as described. However, the phone seems to enter some sort of sleep state after a period, and impacts the app. I can still wave my finger over the sensor, and I hear it locking and unlocking, but the screen won't turn on. I have to physically press the power button to turn the screen on, after which point, the app works again for a short period.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDeleted:
I'm waiting for Aokp to upgrade to JB before fixing JB problems :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julwo:
Any progress??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDeleted:
I tryed a JB preview just to test my apps.

Both works great...

What's your problem? What do you do? Can you share your logcat?

:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] urthling:
Still having problems on JB. As stated previously, basically it seems to go to "sleep" after a while. I can hear the sounds of locking and unlocking, but the screen doesn't come on. If I wave my finger around like mad for a few seconds, eventually it turns on. Works normally for a while, but eventually has the same problem again. Worked flawlessly on ICS. Please let me know what I can do to send you logs (in PM if you'd like). Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDeleted:
I think I fixed the bug, contact me here to test the new version ddeleted@gmail.com :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kohkohnut:
Sorry if this has been asked before. But I would like to make sure before I purchase the app.

I read the market comments and one of them mentioned that this app breaks auto-brightness. Can anybody confirm this please?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDeleted:
It doesn't touch brightness at all. It depends on some rom version and devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kohkohnut:
Glad to hear that =)

Just a suggestion here, would it be possible to allow holding a hand/finger above the sensor for a set number of seconds as a trigger instead of using waves? The reason is, using waves would require a precise time gap in between waves. If allowed to hold a stationary position for a set time, it would be much more reliable than having to grasp the timing between waves.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDeleted:
PRO version does have Tap and Swipe mode, which I prefer. :good:

Version 1.5 PRO working with JB will be available on the Market within a couple of hours

I'm currently working on LITE one.

Thanks DDeleted!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mad_catmk2:
Great app so far! Using LITE version on my o2x (lg p990) and it is reaaly cool.

Question though, is it possible to have an option that turning the screen off does not engage the lockscreen right away?

I.e. I run Cyanogenmod and I have set a custom timeout time limit to apply lockscreen after my screen turns off...is it possible to have the app follow the same behavior?

Thanks and cheers for a really useful app.

Hi

I've installed the PRO version on my new NEXUS 4 but it doesn't seem to do anything.. I think I'm doing it correctly, have checked the options and it's on (although no icon appears on notification bar). I cover the sensor, nothing happens, brightness go down, nothing happens... I don't get the first vibration.

Is there something I'm missing?

Thank you!

Yes, you can send me a logcat while running the app and waving on sensor: ddeleted@gmail.com

Hello ! Thanks for your quick reply.. I haven't been able to test it these days. Today I saw your message and when I were ready to follow it, I saw that I haven't checked the first box... Activate smart on or something like that... So, I'm sorry, works perfectly on nexus 4.

Only doubt I have now is, the time the sensor stays on, in my phone when I select it I get two options, deactivate second vibration and deactivate lock screen to improve compatibility. So, how to I adjust the time the sensor keeps on?

Thank you!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vigaruhul:
sorry ,i want to ask ,i already buy this app (1.6) ,and there is menu turn off sensor after - select inactivity turn off timer ,I have set to 5/15 minutes ,but even after 5/15 minutes the proximity sensor doesnt seem turn off ( i mean ,it still had red light indicates that sensor is still active) ,so ,what is the function ?

and so much sorry for asking again,prox sensor is actived when in call only,right?so it generally use for short period only,and if we used smart screen on ,this sensor continuesly active ,it would be fine for sensor?

if you have a time ,please answer my question ,thanks so much ,this app does what it should be :)

R: [APP] Smart Screen ON

Hi,

As explained before the disable after feature works on some phones only if connected to charger)(to prevent battery draining).

Proximity sensor have very long life because there's no contact between sensor and the sensed object (for more information check out Wikipedia).
