[Motorola Droid RAZR] navisomar:
I read about that but my question regarding that post is that the droid razr utility version, the fifth step in the instruction (5th - download and flash the XT912 fastboot file <-- Dont have any clue how to do this operation) and the line after the PLS READ which says "The only way to power up your phone is by entering BP TOOLS" <-- I also dont know or understand what this means. Sorry if I sound so hopeless and stupid asking all this.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] neo.ank:
Flashing fastboot files is done through RSDLite. Its the Motorola Firmware flashing tool which can flash SBF or Fastboot files to your device.

There are many guides for that process. Search it.

Since the process requires you to delete your CID (customer unique Id), The phone shows an error of missing CID. To bypass the error, you need to boot through recovery by entering into BP Tools. Google it and you'll have a better understanding. However this can be fixed using Boot Menu Manager but thats another story

Once you delete your CID, you cannot restore it if you haven't backed it up since CID is unique to every phone. However in order to flash a firmware other than your region you need to delete it as it cannot be done without deleting the CID.

There's no problem in asking. Feel free to clear all your doubts before beginning.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] navisomar:
Thanks for clearing this up for me. I will then begin reading on these pointers you've mentioned and get back here if ever something comes up that I don't fully understand.

I'm using a Verizon note 2 rooted running liquid smooth v2.9 and the area in which I live is pretty much a dead zone. I was wondering if anyone know of something I could flash/download/install that would give me better signal at my house? Thanks guys!

I know Verizon sells network extenders but they are pretty pricey. Or use tw?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blkhrt13:
Oh okay, that's basically like the AIRAVE for sprint. A friend of mine used to have one before he switched to verizon. And you're right, they are pricy. $249.99. But it may be something I need to invest in. Thanks for the help much appreciated!

If you complain enough they might give you one free to lease, the only problem is that you are 100 responsible for it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] trapperjohn:
Hi,

I bought 2 of them for family and it's working great in fact one of them disconnected their landline phone since it wasn't needed anymore. They work alot better than the old days. Just a heads up. I recommend at least having cable modem speed not dsl. Otherwise it will affect signal quality. It also has a small piece that is for gps so it will need a window for sky view capability. It comes with an extension wire so the main unit can stay near the modem while the gps sensor is near the window.

Thanks,

Bryan

[Google Chromecast] vwgti18:
Any way to block devices from casting? I hate that my litter brother can cast on my chromecast in my room i had to take his tablet away because he thought it was hilarious to keep changing my google music to a stupid youtube video....smh
[Google Chromecast] jumpmanjay:
Buy a wireless router. Connect the WAN port on that router to your existing network. Configure your devices for said router. Don't give your little brother your WiFi password.

Alternatively, just punch him in the stomach the next time he does it.
[Google Chromecast] sake40:
Try to uninstall the setup app on his tablet. I think that will get rid of the button.
[Google Chromecast] cmstlist:
I would have no idea how to write these rules exactly, but if you have a Linux router you could:

- Assign a static DNS lease to Chromecast's MAC address

- Assign a static DNS lease to his tablet's MAC address

- Set up some iptables commands that discard all traffic directed from the tablet to Chromecast

- Or you could even go further and assign all your devices to a whitelisted range of IP addresses, configure the dynamic DNS range to be outside of that whitelist, and discard all traffic to Chromecast from outside the whitelist.

Alternatively it may be possible to segregate the network into two SSIDs that act as separate LANs.
[Google Chromecast] stayRooted:
Lol a block list would be useful

Sent from My S4 in BEASTMODE
[Google Chromecast] vwgti18:
He never had the setup app installed its just the new youtube update can detect the chromecast.

So what I did since I have ddwrt on my router I made a virtual ssid and connected him to that so hes not on my network no more. And now he cant stream movies from my hdd to his tab now im the one laughing haha.
[Google Chromecast] jumpmanjay:
I think you mean static IP...or even static DHCP entry...

But no, that linux configuration would not work. Once devices get each other's mac address, the traffic between the two does not go between the router, it is just switched.
[Google Chromecast] vwgti18:
Me and my brother are on different ssid now and the chromecast cast button does not show up on his youtube app.
[Google Chromecast] cmstlist:
Sorry yes, I meant static DHCP. And you may be right - I don't know enough to say.
[Google Chromecast] jumpmanjay:
Trust me. :)
[Google Chromecast] cmstlist:
And if DD-WRT is set up to divide up into two SSIDs, is there any way to whitelist communication between the two networks?
[Google Chromecast] vwgti18:
Yup on the second ssid I set up I cant see none of my computers or chromecast
[Google Chromecast] 2rare2die:
If your brother's device is rooted: download an app from the Play Store called DisableService. I believe it's free. Open it up, click on the System tab, search for Google Play Services. Once you locate the Google Play services app, tap on it, and you should see a very long list of associated services pop up. Scroll through the list and uncheck pretty much anything starting with the word Cast. Exit out, reboot the device, and voila - the device cannot cast anymore.

This is also very useful if you'd like to prevent accidentally castng porn or something inappropriate on a community/public Chromecast device.

Oh and yeah obviously to re-enable just follow the same steps except recheck all the things, then reboot.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indigo_Montoya:
Hi guys/gals. I have just rooted/unlocked my Atrix, and am flashing new ROMS. One thing I have run into though is the fact that these new ROMS don't come pre-installed with all of the apps that I want. So, I was thinking I could create an update package that will push all of "my" apps that I use on a regular to the ROM I just flashed instead of installing one by one via play store. I followed the advice posted by a Senior Member here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=732957 but this isn't working for me. When I attempt to use CWM to install this update.zip file, all I get is updated failed. I do not see the reason for the failure, just that it failed. Can a more experienced user here, assist with what I am doing incorrectly please and thank you.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
Check the recovery log. Every recovery has one.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indigo_Montoya:
When I run Show Log from CWM I don't see anything that is relevant to the reason it failed?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
OK, I see your problem. You're using a way outdated procedure for creating flashable ZIPs. That is a procedure for creating Amend-based ZIPs which have long been abandoned, only Edify-based ZIPs are supported now. I think your best bed would be to get some ready-made flashable ZIP (of some ROM for example) and modify it according to your preferences.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmbeach05:
What about using one of the app backup apps? like what i do is i started on gb, used go backup pro, backed up the apps and data for the apps. then i switched roms, reinstalled go backup pro, and restored the apps and data
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indigo_Montoya:
I attempted this procedure with zip me, but when I went to actually install the zip created with this app, It said install failed. I know Titanium Backup Pro (paid edition) offers this solution, but I do not have a full paid version. I *thought* it would be simple enough to just create my own install script as I have the .apk files needed, just can't get the script set-up properly.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indigo_Montoya:

go backup pro is free, does the same thing as titanium backup pro (paid)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indigo_Montoya:
This app looks very comparable to Titanium Backup (and it's free which is great!). I am not seeing the setting though of how to choose which apps to make an installable zip from. Can you explain that piece to me please?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmbeach05:
This app gets rid of the need to make an update.zip. just click and restore
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indigo_Montoya:
It looks like I would have to restore each app on a individual basis?

I was hoping for a way to have all them batch restored at one time.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmbeach05:
there is an option along the bottom of the screen called batch restore and batch backup. using these will speed up the process of keeping things up to date with backups, and speed up the process of restoring
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indigo_Montoya:
And I would do the apk + data option?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmbeach05:
apk is the app, data is the user data from the app. Generally, it would be a good idea to backup both

Adjustable Torch is an application that allows you to use the torch at different brightness levels.

Screenshots:

Compatibility:

Tested on the Galaxy S4 (GT-I9500), will work on all devices with either of these files /sys/class/camera/flash/rear_flash or /sys/class/camera/rear/rear_flash

Installing and running the app will tell you if the app is compatible.

Reported working on:

Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9500, GT-I9505, SGH-l337, SCH-I545)

Permissions:

I request and use the following permissions:

Internet: used for ads, ads can be disabled in Action Menu.

Superuser: obviously needed to write to sysfs.

Receive boot complete: needed to reset app settings at startup. A reboot would turn off the flashlight so this is needed.

If your privacy app is picking up location as a used permission, please report a bug against it, again, I DO NOT use location.

Download:

Get it from the Play Store!

If you can't access the Play Store, here's an exact copy of the APK on the store, please use the store if possible, thanks! http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/Android/AdjustableTorch_1.6.apk

Half works on my I9300 but the brightness doesn't coincide with the slider.

For example if I tap it to "full" it's off again and no matter where I tap along the line it goes brighter or dimmer as it pleases

Otherwise, brilliant app! Been liking for exactly this for months!!

Looking forward to updated versions :)

Permissions question

Thanks for the app.

Can you please explain the need for some of the permissions?

Using Xprivacy, I can see that it requires Location, Network, Phone, Storage and other permissions I would normally not associate with an app like this.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] MohammadAG:
I explain the permissions used in the Play Store description.

I don't request permissions for Location or Storage, it might be AdMob or writing to my own app's preferences.

If you still don't trust that, it's open source :)

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] MohammadAG:
I'll see about it, haven't worked with widgets before so it'll take time.

One more thing, I use XPrivacy too, and it didn't pick the app up as using location, not sure where you got that from.

In any case, added permissions to OP.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] MohammadAG:
Which XPrivacy version is this? As you can see, the green key icon is missing, which means I don't have permissions for location.

Can you tap the arrow on location? I want to see the methods used.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ricm68:
Where do I get this app from???
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] SaschaHa:
Be careful!

When using this app AND in addition turning the light on with another app, the maximus light will be increased! It seems to me that the values of light will be summed up! So when using only 20 percent of full light, it will be increased up to 120 percent when turning the light on with another app. That is very dangerous!

Another problem for me: The flashlight seems not to be off @0 percent. In an absolute dark room I can see a little glow. Seems to me that the flashlight is not fully turned off at 0 percent.

I hope, someone can confirm my experience and that this little bugs can be solved :)

GT-N7100 (Galaxy Note II) owner here

I noticed this with TeslaLED (all working methods) but not with the stock TouchWiz widget.

Are you sure it is not phosphorescence ? White LEDs contains phosphors that continue to glow faintly for some time after being turned off.

Another minor issue :

- Turn light on with "Adjustable Torch"

- Turn light off with notification

- Re-open app via the task switcher (long press home)

=> app exits without doing anything

Everything else work fine, thank you.

I am having problems in every AOSP rom (my phone shutts off when taking a picture with flash) but the torch works fine. So if there is a way to lower the whole system torch/flash to a lower brightness maybe that helps me to use the camera without any problem.

Is it based on APP on how long the light stays on? I'm not sure if I asked that question right.

Will this MOD also make the light stay on until you turn it off or does my ROM control that feature? Thanks.

No, this should be done on the kernel side. However, you can turn off the flash in the camera and use this app as a workaround.

Fixed as of 1.4.

Unless the ROM / kernel turns off the flash, it should stay on.

- updated for RootTools 3.4
- bug fixes, mainly with values inversion handling and event broadcasting
