[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Paddington:
I posted this over in the general GS4 Q&A forum in the relevant thread, but I haven't gotten a response. I figured I'd ask here in a new post in the hopes that someone will read it. This is a copy and paste job, which is why the beginning and the edit seem out of context:

Hey guys. I am an N4 user, but I just bought my girlfriend a GS4. She's discovered a problem that I can't find an answer to.

Is there a way to have text messages preview ONLY in the status bar and notifications? It is very useful to have the preview of the message in the status bar and expanded notifications. However, it seems that the only way to enable this is to simultaneously enable the preview on the lock screen. Even with a secure lock screen, the preview of the message is still there. It seems odd for the control for two completely severable features to be bundled together in this manner. This creates a completely unnecessary compromise between convenience and security. Not to mention that even with the preview option turned off, a message identifying the sender still shows up on even a secure lock screen. I am thinking that I must be missing something in the widgets options, and I can remove this text "widget" (which is exactly what it is in practice) completely from the lock screen without sacrificing the convenience of previewing the message through the status bar and expanded notifications.

So, any advice? I'm guessing switching to a third-party messaging app might work, but I (and she) heavily prefer the stock messaging apps. I am looking to avoid this and simply find a solution while still allowing for the stock messaging app. I am going to try Lockscreen Policy in a few, and I'll report back on that. The idea came to me while typing this up.

EDIT: Looks like Lockscreen Policy did the trick. The message still previews in the status bar on the lock screen, but the text message widget that was the major problem is now gone. Unfortunately this trick prevents access to all other lock screen widgets.

I've been searching for task650 themes for days now. all I can is themes for cm9/cm10. I've tried on Google and XDA and nothing came up. I found a video he's using task650 and has BloodRed theme, all he said was he downloaded from XDA.

If any of you guys know where to find themes that can apply to task650 ROM please let me know. thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rani9990:
any cm10 theme will work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Themes aren't directly made for my ROMs as far as I know. But all ROMs based on cm10/AOKP are able to use theme chooser themes from the Google Play store. In the play store just type AOKP themes. Or cm10 themes.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jubei527:
that answer my question. thank you for the fast response. especially task650's amazing ROM.

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsu_golfer:
Where it says:

fastboot flash boot /path/to/mmcblk0p10 -i 0x1949

What specifically needs to replace the /path/to portion? It says to remember where I put the .img files (I keep all of that in a specific desktop folder).

The path of the images is C:\Users\My Name\Desktop\Kindle Fire Resources\New Backup Images\stock-recovery (for instance)
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hashcode:
Start with the Kindle off.

Open a cmd window like when you did the 2nd-bootloader install. Enter:

cd "C:\Users\Your Name\Desktop\Kindle Fire Resources\New Backup Images\stock-recovery"

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery stock-recovery.img

(here your PC will wait for you to connect your Kindle via USB. Once it powers on, the fastboot command will automatically place the Kindle in fastboot mode and begin to run.)

(once that is done enter the next command)

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot stock-boot.img

(and finally)

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system stock-system.img

(this command will take a long time unlike the first 2 which complete fairly quickly. next up, we need to clear out your user data and cache -- including sdcard. enter: )

fastboot -i 0x1949 format data

(then)

fastboot -i 0x1949 format cache

(and last)

fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

If all is well this will reboot the Kindle into a brand new Amazon start up screen.

NOTE: I'll have to double check the format commands as I'm typing this from memory.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsu_golfer:
Ah, I didn't realize it was as simple as changing the directory and running the commands, I thought I'd have to reference the specific location. Thanks so much for your help.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsu_golfer:
For some reason it's only going into fastboot for about three seconds before turning off. Ever seen that before?

EDIT: It's also doing this when I attempt to boot it up or plug it into the charger. Has a good charge.

EDIT2: Later, plugging it in leaves it sitting on the Kindle Fire screen.

This is after flashing the boot.img failed. Am I stuck?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hashcode:
This is odd behavior. Normally it will sit on the fastboot screen for quite a while.

Do that screen showing "fastboot" actually come up? Or does it show the Yellow logo and then stop?

Not really stuck. All of the commands you're using are for fastboot mode which doesn't require a full Android OS.

Just need fastboot mode to work.

EDIT: What are the sizes on your stock-*.img backup files?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsu_golfer:
Recovery: 8,192

Boot: 8,192

System: 907,264

Recovery and boot flashed, but then it randomly turned off. I unplugged the Kindle (which had already given the Windows dismount sound when it turned off). I ran the flash system command, plugged the kindle in when instructed, and it turned off after a couple seconds of flashing it. Now it does that every time you put it in fastboot - display for a couple seconds then go away. I've got it plugged in and sitting on that KF screen for now, hoping maybe it just needed some extra juice or something.

FYI - I actually had to do TWO of these. The LCD cracked on one, and Amazon sent this replacement. The cracked LCD device restored just fine. The only exception were those wipe commands. They didn't work, but it booted into stock recovery and asked me to wipe, and it's good to go. Back in the box and ready to be shipped. This device (replacement for the cracked LCD) has a faulty power button, which I suspect may be part of my issue. Replacement number two arrived less than an hour ago.

I've tried changing kernels but that doesn't do anything. Is there a different firmware/modem I can install onto this phone. I live in New Zealand so I'm guessing the modem that's on it now isn't suited for here. Can I just install a modem from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 ? or will that not work with CM10.1?

Hopefully I can get it sorted before I decide to sell this thing.

Hey,

Strange, whereabouts in NZ are you? I'm in Auckland and I've had no problems befoe running CM10.1 in terms of my Wifi and 3G signal.

I think you should be able to flash in a different modem- I think most people recommend JVU not only because its a good modem but also because apparently it uses less battery.

From what I've heard you can flash in a different modem but I'm not sure.

Hi there,

Is it possible (or could any kind developper!) to script a text message that would always have the same text.

Basically to pay the London Congestion Charge (£5 for driving into Central London), one needs to send a text message to the number 81099 containing the last four digits of their credit card.

As the message is always the same, I thought it might be easy to script such a message to make it easy to pay the charge.

Thanks!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] collins199820:
isn't that easy? set up your pre set messages as the words and numbers u need so then u create a new text and click my text chose the one u want and send it!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] XDA2-owner:
Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I see what you mean, but that is still several clicks more than I have in mind. With a script/batch file, it would literally be a one button (through a shortcut) click which could even be assigned to a hardware button. Lazy ... maybe! I guess it all really depends on whether the function to send a text message can be accessed from the command line.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] collins199820:
no kidding ur lazy!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] bob190cm:
You can write smssender.html which will include a javascript, that will redirect you to:

mailto:123456789 body="Send me a taxi!" - I'm not sure about the syntax... :D

Everytime you execute this webpage, you will only have to confirm SMS sending and close IE (I don't know if window-terminating scripts work in PocketIE) :idea:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] sheran_g:
I don't know if you're willing to pay for it, but there is a utility called Cell Profiler found here

You can pre-define an SMS to be sent to a particular number when you drive through a particular point.

Download the trial and see if it fits in with your requirements.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] k_kirk:
You can use the scripting utility called nscriptm to automate your screen taps etc. Give it a go. Its fairly simple and there is a good sample that shows you how to work with screen taps.

I wonder if I understand you correctly. In my SMS messaging on the XDAII I have something called My Text as a menychoise. The predefined messages in there can be added/amended in the Edit menu...You could do it easily there...?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] XDA2-owner:
Hi,

Yeah - someone mentioned that earlier. What I was really looking for though was a literally one-button way to pay my congestion charge - basically a shortcut to a batch-file/script that creates the SMS, enters the text and addresses it correctly.

Does anyone know if the mailto: command that you can use to create an e-mail would work for an SMS? If so, that would be fine as within the mailto: command you can specify the recipient (81099 in this case) and the text (credit card digits).

Thanks for all the responses.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] bob190cm:
1. PPCs don't make any difference between e-mails and short messages - you have same dialog, same options and same mailto: command...

2. JavaScript in HTML page is probably the fastest way to perform actions you need (if you dont want to write it in C++ of coz!)

3. If I'm not too drunk today I'll have probably posted an example of such page by tomorrow - I finished with school today, so I have something to celebrate! 8)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] XDA2-owner:
Would be great to see a javascript sample if you could be bothered/sober enough to put one together.

Thanks very much indeed.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] bob190cm:
So, that's what it looks like:

<html><body>

<script language="JavaScript">

window.location="mailto:81099?body=Here's my creditcard number!"

</script>

</body></html>

mailto: - where

body: - what

You can also add subject: (don't forget to divide it with "?" :!: )

It looks like Pocket IE does not support close() function. Can anyone confirm? Any way, even if you will have to close IE manually, executing this file (possibly from Today screen) and pressing SEND is still faster than going to New>SMS>MyText>choose>enter number>confirm... 8)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] XDA2-owner:
That worked just great! Thank you so much.

I used the PHM Pocket PC PowerToys's TrayLaunch program to put a shortcut to the .htm file onto the bottom bar of the Today screen.

I still need to press the Send button (is there a way to automate that?) and close IE but it's still MUCH quicker than doing it through a manual SMS.

Thanks again for all comments and help.

Compose new text message from shortcut

Hi there,

I'm a total newbie (NOT a programmer at all), just a Qtek 9090 addict. I 've been looking for something similar to your request: I wanted a way to go straight to the "compose text message" window from the today screen or a hardware button. I finally found a way to do this (maybe not the best way, but I can't find a site that lists all the possible parameters for tmail.exe).

If you're still looking for a better way to automatically launch your message, try this:

Copy the "Messaging" shortcut from Windows/Start Menu and put the copy somewhere you can work on it. Rename it to something like "London Congestion".

If you have Resco file explorer on your device, select your new shortcut and view its properties. On the second tab ("shortcut"), you should see the line "\Windows\tmail.exe". Change it to this:

"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "text" -to "81099" -body "your credit card number"

Then tap "ok".

Move your new shortcut to Windows/Start Menu/Programs. Now you should be able to access it with your Today screen launcher or Button launcher.

If you don't have Resco file explorer, copy your shortcut to your desktop and open it with Notepad. You'll see something like 43#"\Windows\tmail.exe"; just leave the number at the front, make the adjustments I described and save the file. Then put it in Windows/Start Menu/Programs on your device.

I tested this and it worked for me, so I hope it does for you too!

To simply go to the "compose" window from a shortcut, I use this line:

"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "text" -to ""

Robrecht.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] XDA2-owner:
Thanks a lot Robrecht,

I was actually going to re-open this issue because I have a Blueangel now - and I don't know if it's because it is WM2003 Second Edition or not, but the javascript that was written for me in the above post no longer works, so I needed a new method.

A very timely reply and I will try it over the weekend.

Thanks a lot,

Jimmy

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Robrecht:
Well, XDA2-owner, you're very welcome!!!

I have a Blue Angel too and it works for me, except....... I discovered a flaw.

I thought the

-service "text"

parameter made sure the automatically created message was always a text (SMS) message, but instead it turns out that the format of the new message (SMS, e-mail, MMS...) changes according to the last viewed folder in Pocket Outlook. So if you were checking your e-mail account just before you use my shortcut, it wil create an e-mail instead of a text message.

This sucks! And I was so happy I'd been able to help someone!

Does anyone know a way to make sure the new message is always a text message?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] XDA2-owner:
Hi again,

This issue was one I was also having with the Javascript - I got used to the fact that if I was using the e-mail part of Messaging, I would switch it back to SMS before closing it.

One issue I am having though - and it might just be to do with my setup - is that when I run the shortcut from Start-->Programs-->Congestion, it works fine. When I try and launch it from my Today screen though, using BatteryPackPro, it doesn't seem to create the text message, and just stays on the Today screen.

Any ideas?

Thanks again for your help and ideas.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] cruisin-thru:
How does the last 4 digits of your credit card identify you and your vehicle, is any other info sent.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Robrecht:
Gee, you're right, it doesn't work with Battery Pack Pro. I guess BPP doesn't support the extra arguments... Damn.

Since you'll be in your car when you need to send this message, you could map the shortcut to a button so you can open it with one hand. It does work that way. This is what I did (I use the simpler version I described, that just opens a blank new message): I set up VITO Button Mapper so that pressing the mail button brings up Pocket Outlook as usual, but holding it down longer creates a new message.

Woops, wait, I just tried something - Battery Pack Pro does offer a way to include extra arguments! You should choose "custom program link", somewhere in the upper part of the program list in BPP's Program Bar setup. Then put \Windows\tmail.exe in the first box, and -service "text" -to "81099" -body "your credit card number" in the second. That way you won't even need the shortcut I told you to create.......

Hope this works for you. The only downside is it shows up in the Today-screen Program bar as a standard 'folder' icon, rather than a pretty envelope....

Good luck, drive safely :wink:

If you S-Off your device you'll be able to. I have the 4.2 clock, camera, and gallery on mine. Or if your bootloader is unlocked and you're rooted you can flash the .zips of the 4.2 camera and clock through cwm and disable the 4.1 clock and camera under settings>apps. Thats the way I did it before S-Off.

If you decide against S-Off and would like the .zips, let me know and I'd be happy to give you links to them.

I recently took on the task of theming the KIk Messenger app.

Going through this, I find some different lines like "chat_background_color" so I edit the hex color codes as I liked and then I saved and closed XML Notepad.

I recompiled the apk and signed it, and then installed it back to my phone. I open up the app and find that nothing has changed. What am I doing wrong? I've tried editing all sorts of text, and even when I decompile again and look at the XML, my changes are still there, so why arent they showing up? :(
