You dont mention what thats for and what ROM should do this?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] max_r:
Result - is working smoothly :D

ROM - i think rom dose not matter about this app... :)

am tested on stock 2.3.4
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] realCyphox:
you're saying if you disable this sensor, the rom becomes "smoother"?

correct me if im wrong, but isnt the proximity sensor responsible for turning the display off while having a phone call?

so if you disable this sensor, the display wont turn off, eating up battery and if youre unlucky youre pressing some soft-buttons onscreen with your ear while talking.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] max_r:
this is for broken proximity sensors ;) not for working

you can search about this problem over xda

lot of people have broken proximity issue

when broken proximity sensor

when some one try to make call screen goes off :( (wtf)

press any button did not wake-up screen :/

if you want to off your screen when you calling

you can press lock button :D ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] realCyphox:

If I use this app and disable GP2A in galaxy S my phone runs totally laggy ... I need another fix like moddes sensor.aires.so
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] max_r:

working with low end phones like xperia mini pro
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DerBobo:
I only can say something about my experiences. And it was laggy with this app and no more without. It's fact ;)

But I found a solution by myself, by modding sensors.aires in my thread to that problem ヅ

Hi max_r. First I want to thank you for your post, I think it helped a lot, but I have a problem If you or anybody else can help me.

I did everything step by step how you mentioned.

My phone is Ngm Dynamic Maxi, not so popular so it's kind of hard to find help.

1. The phone is rooted.

2. I installed Android Sensor Box from Google Play.

3. Opened ASB, tapped on Proximity sensor, then on the down-left cornered button ad saw the name of the driver, like in the next screenshot:

[IMG="ASB Proximity Sensor"]http://s9.postimg.org/n03wsg6cf/Screenshot_2014_06_27_08_13_23.png[/IMG]

The name is:

and the vendor is

4. Now I instaled, opened and granted super usor acces to Hardware Disabler, tapped on settings, sellected directory

to scan:

[IMG="Harware disable directory scan"]http://s9.postimg.org/u0rwl884f/Screenshot_2014_06_27_08_13_39.png[/IMG]

5. Then I tapped on Rescan for drivers and clicked Click me to confirm:

[IMG="Rescan confirmation"]http://s9.postimg.org/7asrs8owv/Screenshot_2014_06_27_08_13_49.png[/IMG]

6.A new very long list of drivers loaded but I coudn't find my proximity sensor driver, I shearched for it many times:

Here is the list of all my device's drivers: http://postimg.org/image/okeanyl23/

The thing is this isn't the only driver that I can't find in the list, none of my drivers from ASB. I can't find none of them and not even the vendors, most of them have Bosch vendor like in the next images:

I would really apreciate if somebody cand help me, my phone fell from my poket and cracked the screen exactlly where the proximity sensor is, And when I'm in call the screen goes black and I have not control over the phone, can't look in to my contacts etc during the call. I would like to manually lock it while in the call to save battery life, but i nthe same time be able to do everything else when I unlock it.

I hope for a good response, thank you again and have a nice day.

Tried to root galaxy tablet 10.1; followed all steps and was able to root my first tablet. Problem was I had no 4g only wifi. Does anyone know where I can get the correct rom? Also I notice that some of the newer 10.1 tablets have 4.0 firmware.
[HTC Sensation] Formhault:
Hi guys!

I'm using a Motorola ATRIX at the moment. I've been offered an exchange with a HTC Sensation 4G.

I've had HTC devices before, the last of them being the EVO 3D. Now... let's get to work.

I hear the only difference between the Sensation and the 4G one is that the 4G version has tri-band 3G (and possible 4G support in the future - I'm not sure & I hardly give a damn). But I take the bootloader, radio and firmware HAVE GOT to be a bit different...

Can anybody shed some light on this? Would the same Sensation radios work on the Sensation 4G? Would the same ROM's that work on the Sensation work on the Sensation 4G, as well?

-----

Oh, the tri-band 3G isn't really something I need. I live in Romania, and dual-band 3G has been enough so far... so if I were to lose tri-band 3G support in non-Sensation 4G ROMs, I wouldn't complain...

-----

Another issue I want to know about is the notorious death grip. I play games that require internet connection (Pocket/Star/Dark Legends, you may know them), so... landscape mode + Wi-Fi = no Internet, lol.

-----

And last thing... Did ICS fix/improve anything on this death rip? Also, perhaps some of you guys bought a case to protect your phone (I know I do - MOMAX iCase Pro, they rock)...?
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
Well 4g just depends on your networks and where you live. If its the USA and you are on tmobile you'll be able to pick up 4g but I have no idea how long it will take for 4g to spread worldwide.

As for the death grip, you just kind of get used to it and you can still hold it on landscape but just in a slightly different way. Ics would never be able to fix death grip I believe because it is a hardware issue.

There are quite a few good cases out but it's not a Samsung, it won't break easily. Also you can buy a white housing cover for the phone which just makes it look amazing.
[HTC Sensation] Formhault:
Makes sense.

When I had the HTC Desire, I remember how I had to hold the phone with my left hand in order to play Pocket Legends... it wasn't comfortable at all but still doable, lol.

How about the bootloader/radio/ROM part? Or I shouldn't worry about that at all?
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Are you going to be rooting your device? If so they have some wonderful information here on that. If not, no to answer your question, those things are involved in rooting. But if you are look at the thread that will explain about that. It will help you understand that process

I think you will be very happy with your sensation! I know I love mine! Good luck to you! Enjoy your new device!
[HTC Sensation] Formhault:
You don't say :)

If I weren't to root my Android and install a custom ROM every once every two weeks or so, I would've be a retard and bought the shiPhone instead.

I thought the Sensation 4G and Sensation have different drivers etc. (like the EVO 3D - GSM and CDMA). Turns out I was wrong (made some extensive research). It's not necessary anymore, the Sensation that guy had wasn't 4G - dumbass, Vodafone ain't selling 4G units, lol.

This guy's phone had loads of dust under the screen (he advertised it as being barely visible - NOT effing true). You know how a supernovae looks like? Cut it in half and put it in the middle of the screen; each half on each edge on the screen. Spraying dust much? Stupid bas..... got my hopes high.

I also tried to hold the phone in specific ways to test the death grip... It was definetly there, even with 3 different cases on, and I definetly hated it with my guts. Looks like I'm sticking to my ATRIX :)
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
If you wanted to ignore the death grip a case is the worst thing you can do. Ever.

It will constantly weaken your signal.

Sorry to hear about the dust, sellers should always be honest :D

[Samsung Infuse 4G] bambino326:
Hey, 1st i'm sorry to ask this i'm sure the info is out there somewhere but the closest iv found to an answer is "on the SD card" so what I need to know is where, on the device, when i'm in red recovery and make a backup, does that file get stored?

I received a replacement phone from atnt as my old infuse was damaged and before I send it back im trying to make a carbon copy of the phone on my new one. Iv abused the hell out of my old one with Odin and flashing and toying with this but this new one is being a PIA im not sure why. One noticeble difference is now it wants me to confirm when i'm entering download mode by hitting volume up.

Anyway I have the restore file off my old phone but cant figure out where to put it so that when I goto backup/restore and click restore it will find the file, it keeps telling me no files found. I also cant use rom manager to restore it because every time I try using rom manager it force closes, nor will it let superuser update the binary, I flash back to stock, start over and oh look its googletalk bug, rinse, repeat. Iv spent about 3 hours between the past 2 days doing this :/

As always any help is appreciated

Figures right when I giveup and ask for help I find the backup subfolder in the clockworkmod folder

thanks
[Defy General] toncy12345:
Hi, don;t know how to say, for example, defy doesnt have bl7, only defy+, on dfp version, for example if you have in phone info DFP231 or DFP188 (Originally on defy+ only) then you have bl7.

all i can say is, BE AWARE of firmwares with DFP 231 or 188.

any corrections are welcome :D

br, toncy
[Defy General] neo.ank:
Correct.

Build numbers with

DFP-231, DFP-188 & DFP-2311 are BL7.

These are stock Android 2.3.6 Defy+ Rom's.

How do I check which build no. I have ? I checked "About Phone", but this info is not in there.

[HTC One V] shubhamchamaria:
So many people requested the feature of being able to change the uses of the three buttons provided by HTC to us.

We all were disappointed when they decided to remove the menu button.

So i have a workaround which I will show you. If you feel it is a little complicated I have included it in the latest version of SuPrimo Rom. So feel free to use that.

Requirements:

1.) Root

2.) Any root file explorer

Steps:

Go to the root explorer and navigate to /system/usr/keylayout/atmel-touchscreen.kl

Open it as a Text File.

Replace the text in the file with

key 102 HOMEkey 249 MENUkey 158 BACKkey 217 SEARCHkey 139 APP_SWITCH

Reboot your device and that should be it!

I have made a flashable zip...I have not tested it!

Link: http://uploading.com/files/7ed4c977/shubhamchamariaKEYMOD-flashable.zip/

It is only half functional....Multitask button becomes menu button but you can't use multitask

Recovery shows only single press in key test so it is tough to make it long press home..If anyone knows how to do key test of long press...please tell me!

HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF I HELPED!

[HTC One V] saket_oo:
I ain't sure but r u sayin the home key will become multitask key???

I feel there is no provision of multitasking on one v ( I m New to android ).

In symbian we had this home key that would help active switchin between running apps .

Is somethin like that available in android ?????? Pls tell............
[HTC One V] shubhamchamaria:
The third key becomes the menu key. The third key is the multitask key.
[HTC One V] nawoa:
Any progress on getting this to work properly/reliably? Home long-press as task switch and "task switch" as menu makes a lot of sense if it can also remove the menu button in older apps.
[HTC One V] shubhamchamaria:
Try modaco rom...the full mod is integrated...
[HTC One V] michael.the.don:
i dont see the point of this.?? long pressing the multitask key the menu pops up.why bother changing it.?
[HTC One V] shubhamchamaria:
Because its more convenient to users who had android phones on 2.x versions...
[HTC One V] japodude:
Hi there. I've got a updated stock rom rooted. tried this and nothing happens at all. i reboot and its exactly the same.

I've even tried same setting in another file the same in the keylayout dir. atmel-touchscreen.kl

Anyone help with this. i'd rather have a quick menu button and log press for multi task.

i've also installed the zip, but still dont work

If you own a Motorola DROID 4 and have been wondering whether or not you would ever see the day when Android 4.0 would grace your device, wonder no more. While, this isn’t quite confirmation of any official OTA, it would appear that an official test build of the MotoBlur-skinned Ice Cream Sandwich update has been spotted over on Droid Forums.

Before you blow a load on yourself, keep in mind that the waters get really murky when dealing with updates of this nature. Past experiences tell us that Moto phones and leaked test builds don’t always play so nicely with one another. In fact, you could possibly find yourself stuck on the new test build, with no surefire way of returning to Gingerbread without turning your D4 into a big, fat brick. Be careful!

If you have the cojones to proceed, you’ll want to head over to the original post, by Hooks405, in the source link below. Make sure to read the instructions carefully before doing anything. We’d hate to see anyone break their phone, but we won’t be held responsible if they do.

Oh, and we’re also hearing that Voodoo RootKeeper isn’t working after the update either. Hopefully, someone will find a workaround for that soon. Source: DroidForums, OMGDroid Via: Droid-Life
[HTC One X] almanbrother:
I'm using a custom rom, after unlocking bootloader and custom CWM.

Before I installed the custom rom I did a backup in CWM of the original rom (O2 branded, 1.26.xxxx).

Now there is an OTA from O2 and I want to go back to my original rom. So, I tried the following:

- boot into CWM

- whipe everything

- restored the backup

But...the phone doesn't want to boot. It stays in the white screen with HTC logo. What's going on here? Someone knows what I'm doing wrong?

Has it something to do with the franco-kernel I used?

Please help!!

Thanks in advance
[HTC One X] dr9722:
First of all even if you do manage to get your backup restored the OTA update wont work because you have the Clockwork Recovery installed. In order to install OTA updates you must have the Stock recovery.

My advice would be to just ask your chef to update the custom Rom that you are using to the latest OTA (most have done so already). Failing that relock the bootloader, flash the O2 RUU and then update OTA.
[HTC One X] backfromthestorm:
Clockworkmod won't restore the boot image from backups , so you'll have to take it out the backup and flash it in fastboot.
[HTC One X] almanbrother:
Thank you both. It's done yet!
