First of all, I'm not a developer. I'm just here to show a little trick I found to make your daily usage faster and more convenience. And this is my really first thread, please give me some suggestions to make my thread better, thanks!!

As the title of the thread showed, I'm going to introduce you 2 very famous apps which are SwipePad and Launcher Pro (nope, I'm not asking you to change your launcher, keep read it and you'll know ;p)

In fact, I'm not only here to recommend, but combining functions of the two apps and make it both better!!

If you used to be a Launcher Pro user, you should know there are a very useful shortcut/widget in it, which called Activity. (well, it is shortcut in prior ICS and widget in ICS and JB). With this Activity, you can just add a shortcut to a specific process of an app right to your home screen. Means that you may just go to the activity without entering the app, and click tons of button to reach it. For example, linking the shortcut to the Memory Usage under the Setting section, will bring you to the Ram Usage page with one click.

And here is the trick, I'm a frequent user of Dictionary in my phone. And the YouDao Dict is my most favourite apps, so by using the SwipePad and Activity shortcut of the Launcher Pro, I add a shortcut of the QuickDict Activity(com.youdao.dict.activity.QuickDictActivity) into the SwipePad. And I can access to the dictionary with just a swipe and release, in anywhere!!

Of course, this is just an example of using it, there are a tons of activities under the each application you installed to your phone. Look for the apps you use the most and find a make sense activity that seems useful to you and try it.

And the most important part, the apps is both free and you may just use the functions I mentioned without buying any add-on.

PS: Hit thanks if you find this useful. Thanks:cyclops:
[Android Apps and Games] gollyzila:
Nova and Apex launchers have the activity shortcuts as well.
[Android Apps and Games] ricsonham:
oh really?

should give them a try shortly. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Soryuu:
I believe Holo Launcher allows activity shortcuts as well...

[Android Apps and Games] hiandroid:
anycut is available on play store? Tried searching anycut in play store but could not find it. I am using "direct cut" app which is for creating and organizing direct dial/message and email shortcuts.
[Android Apps and Games] dragontology:
LauncherPro was abandoned by its developer a year and a half ago. I wouldn't even know what the best Android 2.x style launcher is right now, but I don't particularly care for them. Holo Launcher works on Gingerbread, and I have Nova Prime for when I'm on Jelly Bean. Both do shortcuts. Shortcuts to app activities, contacts, individual settings pages, etc. If you have SoundHound (free, or paid) you can create a shortcut to "ID Now". Don't go into SoundHound, it's in the top-level shortcuts. I just have that, rather than the app, in my music folder. But I think the shortcut thing isn't a launcher feature; I believe it's actually an Android feature. Is that incorrect? Can you not create shortcuts in any Android version's stock launcher, or the mods like TouchWiz, Blur, etc.? In other words, it's not a premium feature, it's just a feature.
[Android Apps and Games] ricsonham:
yeah I put a "ID Now" shortcut in my SwipePad List as well!!

But half of the list of SwipePad are linked to direct call. Haha

No I don't think TouchWiz and Blur has it cause I once uninstall Launcher Pro from my phone and I couldn't find Activities shortcut from anywhere.

Btw, putting Clipper+ on the SwipePad is useful too.. No need to insert my email again and again. Oh ya, neither my home address.
[Android Apps and Games] iu1nguoi:
how do you add the shortcut to SwipePad? I created a shortcut to activity but couldnot find a way to add it to SwipePad
[Android Apps and Games] ricsonham:
just swipe to the portal you want and hold until you see it turn orange colour, then choose Shortcuts -> Activities -> and choose whatever activity you want and you're done :)
[Android Apps and Games] iu1nguoi:
but there is no activity or shortcut that I created before using launcher. there are just few activities,not as much as I see when use launcher
[Android Apps and Games] Pande99:
yeah i'm using swipepad too, its a great app for shortcut.
[Android Apps and Games] ricsonham:
how come?mine show full list in launcher and swipepad.

any screenshot available?

i wanted to show you some screenshot,but it stuck at the notification saying saving now.
[Android Apps and Games] iu1nguoi:
when I tried to assign portal in Swipepad
[Android Apps and Games] ricsonham:
do you have launcher pro,nova launcher or apex launcher install in your phone?

you can still using your default launcher, you just need either one of these launcher mentioned to be install in your phone in order to use the feature that i said.
[Android Apps and Games] iu1nguoi:
i use Adw launcher. I can create shortcut to activity using Adw launcher. However, I cant assign this shortcut to swipepad
[Android Apps and Games] ricsonham:
hmm...it's a different "shortcut" we're referring to.

for that i cant help out, coz SwipePad has its own shortcut and not support other launcher's shortcut.

and the shortcut we're talking about is separate thing, which are more specifically named Activities.

Here you go the screenshot.

I have a 7 inch tablet from a unknown brand thit i got on ebay for 65$.... with android 4.0.4, I did it Root with super one click

Then the Titanium backup wrote that busy Box is not installed so I used the application "busy box installer" and installed the BusyBox with smart install.

Then when I turned the device back on, it suddenly lit up like a new device without any application and settings are reset when I tried to install applications, he wrote that the available memory is low (the device is Quite empty) when I look at settings \ Internal Storage, total space includes 0.00b.

If somone could please be abel to explain to me what happened, and / or how to fix it?

:confused:
[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
If it was $65... it's possible you used all the internal storage and that it's not empty, but totally full. It might report a larger storage size, but simply be re-writing over information or just ran out while installing.

Who thinks its wrong for websites to charge for free services of other people knowledge and hard work? I know this website that is charging people for the developers roms on here rooting etc. In my opinion its wrong especially when its free knowledge on here. I gurantee the members of the website are not programmers and using your roms and knowledge for their website.
[Epic 4G General] jeffreyjicha:
I would find out which ROMs specifically, and pm their respective developers. Or post the name of the website so the devs can join and say that the ROM is theirs and that whoever is posting should stop trying to make money off other people's hard work and dedication
[Epic 4G General] Fire n mage:
That's pretty outrageous, it's a shame people take advantage of the great part of xda being a free community for devs to provide their work.
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
I would also notify the administrators of XDA, unsure if we have a legal team, but that website can be taken down, if there is a legal team, they can be taken to court for damages.
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
The lawyer fees would be more than XDA would gain. Also, since they do not have the rights to our ROMs, I don't believe that they could (nor would they want to) have the grounds to sue people based on them. It is unfortunate that this happens, but people should know better. They need to know that this is free. I am disappointed that people stoop this low, but if they need the money badly enough that they have to charge for a free service, then there are other avenues that they need to explore. I don't believe it is plagiarism, nor is it within anyone's rights to stop them from doing this. It is not against the law. It is immoral, but not illegal.
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
Well said! Unethical and illegal are two seperate things... while it is wrong, the only ones that would have the rights to sue are the actual developers of the roms... xda holds no rights to the roms that devs build... so while it is unfortunate and IMO wrong, there is nothing illegal about it... :(

Just wanna ask, which is more battery friendly. To set your screen brightness to auto or not? :cyclops:
[HTC Sensation] Itsakash:
For me , auto brightness eats more battery...

I set brightness to 20-30% for indoor , 70% for outdoor ..
[HTC Sensation] matekaneve:
Auto brightness uses the sensors and the cpu as far as I know. That means it consumes more power. I also set brightness around 20-30% indoor and also outdoor... No sunshine in Scotland... :p
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Auto brightness also sets the values way too high in most circumstances, doing it manually is much better for battery life :)
[HTC Sensation] CharliesTheMan:
If you don't have the status bar brightness mod (or cm brightness mod) this is a great app. I use it to replace auto brightness, and I set an almost invisible slider on the left side of my screen to leave brightness as a manual setting and be able to bump it up on the fly without leaving an app.

It's called Display Brightness by bigrubberpepper

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] narabhut:
Hey guys. I have CWM 6.0 and the CM10 ROM from here and I love it. However, whenever I open Gallery, or try to download a file, I can't and get the message "No external storage available". I don't have an SD card inserted, however my NT has an internal SD card (I'm guessing the recovery partition) of 1 GB, and I've tried un/remounting that, and the message still exists. Can you guys help?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asawi:
Several apps insist on external sd-cards. So the simplest solution is to just insert an sd-card!

I don't know if it's possible to fiddle with the void (I think that's the name...) file or something like that to make the internal storage show up as external. I know that was possible in CM7, but I haven't been bothered enough to look around for it. I just have a small (1GB) card inserted just to keep those apps (for example Swiftkey) happy.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] narabhut:
Awesome, that works. I guess I need to buy a new SD card then haha. One other question...My computer doesn't seem to detect the internal storage of the Nook (or the SD card) when connected via USB. It just shows up as Removable Device and when I click on it, I get the message "Please insert device". Is there a fix for that? I'd like to transfer music to the Nook and not have to take out the SD card everytime.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asawi:
When you connect the NT to the PC there should be a small notification in the notification bar. It says something "USB connected". Tap that and then you probably get to another screen where you get prompted to "turn on USB" storage or something like that. Once that is done you will have access to the SD-card and the user patition of the internal storage.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] house_music:
Hello guys,

I recently acquired an international version of the s3. Since I am relatively new to android i have not attempted to modify the phone in any way. I have updated to Jelly Bean through the official update right when i got the phone a few days ago.

Anyways, I have been experiencing some lag issues which none of my friends whom also use the s3 experience. The lag itself is in two ways:

1) When i push a button to turn on the screen, the digital clock displayed on the lock screen lags at times. For example, if it is 10:30, the screen would turn on with 10:28, and then quickly within a second change to 10:30. It always shows the time which is a few minutes behind the actual time, then quickly corrects itself.

2) Sometimes when i receive calls or texts, I turn on the phone and it will display the phone number of the person calling or texting without showing the name / picture which you assigned it on your contacts, AND THEN changes to the contact name / picture. For e.g, If my friend David is calling me, when i take out my phone and look at it i will see 5432669318, but it takes a few seconds for the phone to recognize that that number is David.

I know these sort of errors may be minor, but it ruins a quality of life expected of flagship phones :crying:

Help please :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidsteele1975:
The first issue you are experiencing is because the widget is not updated if the screen is off to save power. When you turn the screen on, it will update itself in a few moments and is quite normal. The alternative is that it updates the widget all of the time, which would likely ruin battery life. My HTC handset also does it and whilst I notice it, it doesn't borne me do much now but it did at first.

The second issue may be caused by the device having to reload the contacts database. My low end device does this more often than my high end stuff, but both do it. How many contacts do you have?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] house_music:
Hmm but the clock ALWAYS updates from like 1 to 2 minutes behind and then fast forwards to the correct time, regardless of when the last time i picked up the phone was.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ItBankRock:
Hello guys so recently I've been wondering why Xperia S mods don't work on our Acro S, some guys said that there's a file inside framework-res.apk that makes it not to work or to be detected by the phone even in your pc when you connect it.

So I tried to look for files inside the .apk, after searching I found out that the file storage_list.xml inside /res/xml folder that contains the following words /mnt/ext_card and I compared it to the file inside the Xperia S mod and it doesn't contain it... so what I did is to replace the storage_list.xml of the Xperia S mod to the stock Acro S storage_list.xml

I flashed the Xperia S mod, fingers crossed, booted up successfully, recieved an sd card error message, I ignored it, I opened up Album app, switch to by folder

view, and... BAM! IT WORKED! IT DETECTED MY EXTERNAL SD CARD! I OPENED CAMERA, FILMS, OTHER APPS AND IT WORKED! I connected it to my pc and it worked! See screenshots below for some proofs

Here's the step by step tut:

REMINDER: MAKE CWM BACKUP FIRST BEFORE DOING SUCH THINGS!

1. Grab an Xperia S theme/mod/ROM

2. Extract framework-res.apk from that mod {can be found at /system/framework}

3. Open the .apk file with WinRAR/WinZip or any extraction tool

4. Go to /res/xml folder and replace the storage_list.xml in that folder with THIS

5. Save changes, replace the framework-res.apk on the Xperia S mod with the ones you modified

6. Copy it to ur internal sd card, FLASH IT, BAM! See how the magic works!

Press the thanks button if it worked for ya! Please test it on Stock based Custom ROMs for Xperia S too. But if you're on unlocked bootloader, flashing an Xperia S kernel will make the external sd card not to work, i don't know, just try if you want...

IT'S NOT MY FAULT IF YOUR DEVICE WILL BE BRICKED
