Gaining remote access to a phone isn't only for super hackers and spies. There are plenty of times when the average smartphone user would want to have remote access to their device.

Maybe you left your Android phone at home and coincidentally forgot to stop farming coins in your Plants vs. Zombies zen garden. By the time you get home, your phone will be dead. Maybe you forgot to enable Wi-Fi on your phone and let your friend borrow it to watch Netflix or something. Data charges through the roof!

What's the fastest way to fix this problem when you don't have hands-on? Remotely shut the damn thing off, and if you've got a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 or other popular Android device, it's as easy as sending yourself a text message.

The app is called Remote Turn Off and was created by developer RavinduSha. It works by executing the power down command via an SMS message—you send an SMS containing the phrase power#off to your device from any number and it will automatically shut down.

In order to install this app, the device must be rooted so you can access some system files. You will need to flash this .zip file or just place the APK into the /system/app folder manually and set the correct permissions. After the initial install, send the SMS phrase power#off to your device and it should ask for root permission.

And that's it.

Unfortunately, you can't change the text command, but that's no biggie. And if you can install this on your friend's Android device, imagine the prank possibilities! Your friend is sitting on the couch shooting for 3 stars on the final stage of Angry Birds Space and you remotely shut down his device. Awesome.

There is no folder or program file, so they will never know it's there, unless they know their stuff.

If you want to do more than just shut down your device remotely, look into aeGis, which lets you remote wipe your device, lock the screen, sound the alarm, and more (though, shutting down the device is not an option).

Don't want to burst your bubble but most anti-theft apps can do that and much more like retrieving your contacts, sms, locking the phone, making ring with an alarm etc.. They even can send you a sms with the new phone number inserted in the phone. This is old news.
[Galaxy Note II General] pakure:
There is another app called "agasthya" on play store. .. similar and can do a lot more. ..like you have left your phone in silent mode and you don't know where you left the phone. . You can send sms code to make it turn into sound mode and ring. ..many more options. ... give it a try

Hey guys,

Just wondering what the state of custom roms are for the OneV.

Usually I just try a few out and get to know who the best devs are in the community are, and fiddle a lot, but this isn't for me.

I'm looking to help out someone with a stock one v where its terribly slow, freezing for long periods etc, and it seems to be that the Dalvik Cache is struggling with its tiny internal storage to work with.

So just wondering if anyone can give some suggestions as to which ROMs are the best for stability, speed, battery life, and fully working.

This person just needs to have their phone actually be usable as a phone is the main thing. My usual go to is official CM or a well known dev.

Preference to well made, clean, and well maintained roms, can be sense or AOSP, personally i prefer AOSP but am wary of driver, battery life and stability issues.

Seeing a lot of discontinued roms, and a lot of hacked together ports as well, so hence asking.

Cheers.
[HTC One V] Seraz007:
most stable working ROM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1647052

its a sense ROM

no problems whatsoever with it

best thing, everything worx

battery life is very close to stock which is superb
[HTC One V] eXDee:
This is what i want to hear. Many thanks!

Whats the internal memory on this like after install, reasonable amount?

Anything else worth considering? It sounds like AOSP projects at the moment have a hiccup with the camera, which is unfortunate, so it seems sticking with sense is the way to go.
[HTC One V] Seraz007:
yea internal memory is good

the ROM has 131mb swap script enabled so your RAM has increased a 131mb more :p

really fluid experience

There was a really stable AOSP ROM slim Bean but the maker has removed it(its a shame)

Dont ask why coz ull start another war :p:p:laugh:
[HTC One V] sohamssd:
You can try pa2.99 by icebox. Everything works. No bugs. Battery life idc but its good:)
[HTC One V] mikef:
Thread Closed

First, questions are supposed to go to the Q&A forum. Second, these types of threads are known to lead to colorful discussions, shall we say, between supporters of different ROMs. You will get different answers from everyone anyways as no one uses their phones in exactly the same way.

So that adds up to thread closed.

Thank you,

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] brick.boy:
Hi all,

I'm in desperate need of help. Everything in my HTC pico is working fine except for call receiving and dialing. If I call someone with the speaker ON then they can hear me clearly & I can hear them too. But when I call someone with speaker OFF, it initially shows that its dialing but after few seconds it returns to contact list. If somebody tries to call me they get my line busy or sometimes gets connected but the caller is unable to hear me clearly. I've tried custom roms as well but issue remains. As of now I'm using Europe Stock ROM and my phone is rooted with bootloader unlocked. My phone is S-On, would that be the cause or something?? Is my phone locked for a particular network and if it is then how can I sort this out. Any advise and suggestions are welcome, many thanks.

Regards,

Tariq Alam.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] salil.bajaj:
Dude it seems to be a hardware issue. And its nothing to do with S-on.

Seeing to that u have tried installing different rims without sucess,u should probably head for the service centre.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] kaustubh12345:
Try flashing other roms iff problems persist go to service center it may be a hardware problem so they repair it!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] brick.boy:
Thanks very much for your suggestions. It's working now apparently, I'm using Europe stock rom. I'll install the custom rom and then see how it behaves. Thanks once again.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] brick.boy:
I was using stock rom and the problem seem to be solved but once i installed the custom rom CM10 for htc pico then it got worse. I reverted back to stock rom and again the problem. Having said that, none of my headphones work when i insert it into the headphone jack. I think that's the root which is causing problems.

I'll try a bluetooth device and see what are the results. Any suggestions for a bluetooth device that will not only used for calls but also for music etc.

Many thanks.

There's a method to re-odex. So maybe users on odexed roms can still enjoy this feature.

I tried to port multiwindow too but without the bits of code left by samsung's devs like in s2, it will take a lot of time. I think its better to wait and see if samsung will update siii mini and give you that feature.

EDIT: I need one more file to mix. I need framework-res.apk from DXAMB1 (With Ripple Effect Enabled)

[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] dolar4ik:
Hello. I just start testing it and first thing that I found that you have mistakes in updater-script:

1. Last line:

show_progress(1.000000);

show_progress function expects 2 arguments so it should be changed to:

show_progress(1.000000, 100);

otherwise CWM will abort package installation and no changes will be applied.

2. You should mount system partition before extract package otherwise no changes will be applied via CWM.

You need to add line:

run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p22", "/system");

or using busybox:

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");

And you need to unmount system partition after extract complete:

run_program("/sbin/unmount", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p22", "/system");

or using busybox:

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "unmount", "/system");

2. Not a mistake, actually, but it will be good to set file permissions after package extracted and before system unmount:

ui_print(" + ------------------------------------------ + ");
ui_print(" | Setting permissions ... | ");
ui_print(" | ------------------------------------------ | ");
show_progress(1.000000, 50);
set_perm(0, 0, 06644, "/system/app/SecSettings.apk");
set_perm(0, 0, 06644, "/system/framework/android.policy.apk");
set_perm(0, 0, 06644, "/system/lib/libWaterRipple.so");
set_perm(0, 0, 06644, "/system/lib/libWaterRipple2.so");

I installed it manually but got bootloop.

I will try to install clean deodexed ROM and retest again.
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] Dr01nE:
CWM doesn't abort the operation. I didnt know the partition system was on so my bad but I don't think replacing an existing file while flashing will change the permissions but idk I just observe thia with system apps, I'm not saying that its always the case but with all the themes and mods I made that kind of scripting always worked for me so I stuck with it. :D

But if what you suggested will make you happy I'll make thw changes. Though I can only guess with what's wrong because I do not have the device. I built the mod from scratch. and I will create different zips to see which one was broken. Only two things cause the problem, SecSettings and android.policy

SecSettings works fine on my device and allows me to choose a color and that color is applied

android.policy, however i cannot tesr. But sincr they say that the "Android is Upgrading" appears after reboot then that means that android.policy was modified. So I will first fix the android.policy file and if it atill doesnt work then maybe I made a mistake with SecSettings.. I will upload the new ones tomorrow evening at the latest. I have to release my nexus and GS4 theme updates tomorrow so I have a lot of typing to do. :cheers:
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] Dr01nE:
Reboot to recovery and wipe cahe and dalvik. Then try again.
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] dolar4ik:
For me it does. Maybe it differs from CWM version or some specific settings.

Anyhow, it is easier to add few helper lines of code then answer each time for strange bug reports, etc :)

The same with permissions and mount system. It is optional, of course, but may cause problems on some devices.

I just installed clean deodexed ROM and then installed this MOD. New settings exists and can be changed with no bugs or force closes.

But no Ink effect. Just stock ripple effect.

Tried to clean cache and dalvik cache and no changes. Stock ripple effect still.

BTW, maybe it will be better to rename Ripple effect to Ink effect in SecSettings.apk (res/values/strings.xml => hovering_ripple_effect)? Just a suggestion ;)
