Hi lads,

I was wondering - is there a way that Android application can acquire screen for some time exclusively?

Consider scenario:

Android broadcasts some common intent (say: wifi state changed)

There are N>1 applications which receive the intent

Each of them starts activity

User experience is awful here, activities stacks one after another (depending on order of intent delivery) and last lucky one is being displayed on the top.

Is there a way to prevent it? Someway of locking the screen just for one application exclusively for some time?

Any help welcome, thanks.

UPDATED

Many of you may think this is noob question and guy has no idea what he is talking about - this is not the case (at least I hope so). I am pretty sure you cannot do it using official API beside monitoring other applications activity and killing them as soon as possible so that only one (mine) is on top (not sure about legal side of this operation).

Maybe I am missing something, maybe there is a way of achieving this in other way including native coding and/or Android modification (I can talk to Samsung, they will do it for me if I am kind enough :)).

Does anybody have the stock sms apk from the att 4.1.2 jb
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rambo90:
here is from stock ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nstuber3956:
Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nstuber3956:
What does I need to do to install this. I backed up my original mms and replaced it with this one and it won't install. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what it is
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] briand.mooreg:
Change the permissions to rw-r-r
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nstuber3956:
I did that. I still can't get it to install. I've deleted everything except the backup for the old mms.apk and the new one still will not install. I've renamed the new apk from secmms to just mms.apk and nothing works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
What ROM are you trying to install the stock MMS? There are many ways to install an app but it has to fit the ROM too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nstuber3956:
I was trying to install it into cm10.1 maybe I just can't install over the one they use
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
I think that you hit the nail on the head. The stock messaging app requires touchwiz I believe. Why not try a third party app like Handcent?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nstuber3956:
I guess I'm gonna have to try them again. I wasn't impressed the last time I use it but maybe it's changed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] briand.mooreg:
Yes don't think it will work with TW also stock is 4.1.2 and CM 10.1 is 4.2.2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ltilt2:
I have a nice mms apk that you might like. Driving right now if you want it, I can post it tomorrow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
There is nothing in the stock app that handcent can't mimic.

Rooted the phone with Doomlord's toolkit, but when i turn on wi-fi, the apps say "no connection" or "server error". Tried Play store, Gmail, Drive, G+, Chrome, Steam... But.. i think the weather app is working - eye in sky. I assume this is some kind of permissions problem, but couldn't find any settings for it. Using Generic ES 423.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p01234:
Hi,

I have a question to Doomlord (or someone who knows that) too: (i'm restricted to post into the Development section)

I've heard about problems with the easyrootkit v15 that, when you mount the system as R/W, the phone reboots.

Can someone confirm that? I want to update my phone, but i want to be sure that root works afterwards without a problem.

Does one of the following apps need to mount the system as R/W?:

Titanium Backup

LBE Privacy Guard

or Greenify?

thank you
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richy99:
is the wifi actually connected to the network?

as for the r/w reboots. read the posts as there are fixes for it
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Admiral AnimE:
It is connected, everything was working fine before the root. Doomlord said "not related to root", then what? I have't done anything else :/
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richy99:
I doubt it is root related, just coincidence, many have rooted and don't have that issue

when its connected to wifi to into settings - about phone - status and scroll to see if the ip address is valid, tried rebooting the router just incase?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Admiral AnimE:
I did a repair with pc companion, it was working. Restored the back up i made before that, and it stopped working. No idea what's wrong with it, but i guess i'll start from scratch. Will do a clean repair again without back up only for contacts and images, and will edit this post with the result.

Edit: So yes, apparently something in the backup was causing it, couldn't find out what.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Admiral AnimE:
Oh well... Just tried again with Generic BE 423, again after rooting, no connection. Haven't done anything else. ANYTHING. Can anyone help? Or i'm just gonna stay without root :(
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C1emen7s:
No idea what would be causing it, but try flashing one of the other FTFs? Say NL or HK? See if that makes any difference.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Admiral AnimE:
I found what's causing it... The proxy that adblock wants me to enter in the wi-fi settings - localhost, port 2020. Still no idea why it's connected to root, it was working fine without it.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richy99:
adblock wants a proxy? not heard of that before,. but if you are using a proxy in the wifi settings that will more than likely stop it working
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Admiral AnimE:
Yes in the website it says localhost and 2020 port. It's not working without it, although it says Ads are blocked on all connections.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
As you are rooted, I can recommend AdAway for ad blocking purposes. It does the job without having to configure proxies etc.

Google removed it and all other ad blockers from the Play Store, but you can still get it for free from F-Droid.

Hello everyone, I screwed up with my equipment Alcatel v860 (Smart II) and what I did was to format all the parameters in the recovery menu so I can install it again but now it does not turn, does not enter the recovery nor in fastboot mode (download mode).

Is there any way I can connect the device to the PC and move the boot files without recovery and fastboot?

When I connect the smart II to pc, windows detects but can not install the drivers, I also do not know which program need to detect and install the new fasboot.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] vikstormborn:
Ok , So my noob friend tried to install the CM10.1 on his Samsung galaxy s3 (international version) and he did not have clockwork recovery installed first , instead he went straight to the official recovery that samsung has and tried to install it from there , and obviously the signature verification failed . Problem is he wiped all data , so if i wanted to install clockwork root , i can't give it root access because there is nothing in the phone in the first place to install it .

What do i do now ? Try installing clockwork anyway ? OR can i find some place where i can flash The touchwiz default Samsung Stock Rom and then go step by step . His phone can only get into ODIN Mode or the official recovery one . PLease help! Any tips are much appreciated
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
Go to the 9300 forum and look for a stock ODIN image, put the phone in download mode, flash the stock image, then follow the guide to root it properly which will be there as well. Good luck!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] marcoxx626:
You could just get him to flash a pre rooted stock firmware through Odin. Look up root 66 in the development forum

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Jefazo2k5:
Hi , that´s my opinion

Twice 10.1 or JB port , have a problem with battery duration (and other minor bugs)

the game play are so laggy ,and you really have a slow experience with diary use.

AOkp I think that is trustworthy to the JB use. but the same with lag .

Thanks for your work !!!! and I hope you get new roms updates.

Sorry for my english...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
jelly bean requires a lot of more RAM than GB. That's why there is some lag, I suggest to use smartassv2 as CPU governor if you need performance, if you need to save battery use interactiveX.

Is it possible to fix the camera now?. Since preview problem seems to be known now?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] theRenquist:
i tried installing cm-10.1-20130629-UNOFFICIAL-jena today but get an error 7.

factory reset, cache partition and dalvik cache have been wiped, i`m using cwm 6.0.3.2.

versioncm-10.1-20130611-UNOFFICIAL-jena works without any problems.

what could i be doing wrong ?

edit: i returned to the working version and flashed it new because i finally wanted to get rid of the gapps package i installed before.

however even after flashing 0611 again gapps still seem to be on my system.

do i have to wipe anything else i`m not aware of ? the target is a cyanogen 0611 or 0629 without any gapps :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] rhisendark:
do you have cwm 6.0.3.2 build 4 ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] theRenquist:
ohh! it`s build 3 actually!

thx a lot! will give it a try at once :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] rhisendark:
no problem :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] theRenquist:
it worked perfectly thanks again!

the only thing i`m still facing is that gapps still seem to be on the system from a previous installation, although i wiped the 3 settings mentioned above.

is 0629 supposed to have the play store, services and other google named services? can i get rid of them somehow?

edit: solved, i had to format /system /data /cache. now gapps and other parts of the previous installations are definitely gone. happy happy! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] MrMateczko:
The performance greatly depends on the game you're playing. Currently with CM10 20130629 (the NFC patch doesn't work, BTW) I have good performance with Icy Tower 2, but micro lags on Jetpack Joyride. Of course both of these games run perfectly on stock, but Icy Tower 2 has some graphical glitches not appearing on JB. But Jetpack Joyride is a lazy port from iOS and it can stutter even on better phones. But the overall performance is just fluid. Will test Vice City later to see if a lot has changed since April 2013, when I lastly tested VC on CM10.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
those "micro lags" are because of RAM. I had an old PC with 256MB (!) RAM like 5-6 years ago, when I played NFSMW, I would get freezes/lags each 3-5 seconds, the loading screen took ages to load, then I put in another 512MB and everything was fine. No lags/freezes, loading screens didn't load forever etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] xfim:
On cm10 and cm9 for less ram usage i went to Developer options, scrolled to the bottom and set background processes to 1 or 0.

There are no these options on cm10.1, right? I dont know did you mean slow ramread/write or high usage with old pc example...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] MrMateczko:
Ahh...the old-school NFSMW - one of my favorite games of all time.

But Android manages RAM differently than Windows, so 512MB shouldn't be a problem because it runs file on stock 2.3.6.

Looks like Jetpack Joyride stutters when there are certain sprites drawn. Seems to be some kind of GPU thing. If GTA VC runs better than this, I'll uninstall this crap.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
That was just an example that RAM matter a lot in games. Temple Run 2 uses >100MB. Imaging what more demanding games require. I have about ~50-60MB free RAM when the phone is idle.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] xfim:
I have 210 at idle :) and still same lag and low fps as it is when 120 is free :(

Edit: cm9 has more than 100mb/s faster ram read speed than cm10, .1, aokp. And it has performance as good on 800mhz as cm10 has at 1.05ghz. Stock rom read is 500 mb/s, cm9 450, cm10 350
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] MrMateczko:
Well, looks like that's the problem. I noticed that actually earlier when people were posting benchmark results, everything was higher than on stock, except for the RAM speed.

I guess there's nothing to do about it? It's all in the kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] xfim:
Probably gpu performance depends on ram speed... So improving ram speed will improve gaming performance and overal performance of the device in cm9, cm10, cm10.1 and aokp.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] shojib97:
thanks for your job TheWhisp CM 10.1 is awesome like you thank you very much ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] rhisendark:
I don't know which games you play but I play various gba roms and hacks via my boy emulator and it is very smooth. those temple run etc. do not appeal to me. If they were then probably I would have bought a better phone. but know this. Mini 2 is not a phone to play games.

oh and a question to [MENTION=4148720]TheWhisp[/MENTION] cm10.1 or aokp. whats the difference. which one do you prefer?

It is a known problem but with unknown cause and obviously unknown solution.. Don't know if theWhisp figured out something.. Perhaps with next build it will be fixed..

I assumed it has to do something with overheating, as I only get white screen when phone gets hot, but theWhisp said that something like that is unlikely,,, :/

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] MisMisMis:
While getting to know my phone, I played with various settings and found out two things which might be useful for others:

- Kernel Samepage Merging, implemented in the ksmd thread, apparently prevents the phone from sleeping and eats battery.

- Background processes which had used the GPS sensor while in foreground won't release the GPS when inactive (according to battery screen). Sometimes a reboot is required to toggle GPS state (although I did not use lsof to check, just the battery stats which might be lying about it...)

I agree, I experience white screens when my phone is plugged and wifi AP is on. Then if you unplug and disconnect all wifi connected device it will cool down and the device will work again. no need to reboot, just wait for it to cooldown
