Is it possible to change the Proxy settings or us a web proxy to obtain a fake ip address?

the purpose would be to use an NHL app to watch games that I am otherwise blacked out on.

EDIT: Moto D2, rooted
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] flouh:
If I take you right, you have problems with your Provider side proxy.

Well, thinking about that, you wont be able to switch THAT one, you might be able (didnt try it myself though) to additionally use one, which will give you a fake ip to web servers ( for example), but you still wont be able to use an app to watch TV if your provider prevents you from doing so, because you cant get rid of the blocking proxy.

Hope I hit the point

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBeardedMann:
I am running the Redemption Rom 2.0.5 with the stock kernel and the Incredible rEVOlution theme on top.* What kernel should I be running?* Developer recommends Hydra, but I am open to any type.* I would like the phone to be as snappy as possible.* Battery life isn't really an issue for me, but it's always nice to not have a dead battery on the weekends.* I work at my desk during the week and have my Incredible plugged into the computer all day.***

Also, what type of profiles should I set in Set CPU?* Things like when the screen is off, when battery temp gets to a certain temperature, what type of scaling and so on.

Is there another ROM I should be running?* I like all the stuff included with the Redemption ROM and I really enjoy the Incredible rEVOlution theme.* I want to be able to use that theme with the ROM.* Stability and everything*working with the ROM is a must, which most do now, but the camera, camcorder and WiFi have to work for me.

Cheers!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kungfuturkey:
personally I find that setCPU utilizes more battery than it saves, but Screen off profile set to minimum speed is always good.... I personally run KingXKlick #5 which is great batt life and good speed! and as far as ROM goes I really like Redemptive rEVOlution and all INCDoes ROM's are impressive for different reasons. Personally right now I am running Skyraider 3.3 which all Skyraider Roms are snappy and smooth.

PS. If you are wanting super snappy ROMs and don't have to have sense try Ruby or Shadow ROM they are quick as I've seen along with the nice stock android feel.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanzer:
I find that setcpu itself doesn't use much resources, but switching governors all the time doesn't let the phone manage the power usage..

I only use setcpu to set to interactive governor and set the min sample rate to 30000. I got this number from the stock kernel I think.

i found KingXKlick # 5 to get a bit stuttery on my phone, i switched to hydra OCUV 1.113 and its lightning fast

Hi

*For the latest update, check the bottom of the post, ENJOY*

Desire

yesterday i wanted to get a battery status bar for my desire just like the picture below

found a thread here that explain how to get it

Super Circle Battery with % |Version A-I & Z (Custom)| Desire 2.2 ROM

Problem

However i found out that i am un-able to use it because the requirments for installing (what i have been told in the thread) is that your device has to be

1. Rooted

2. Have different ROM than the stock ROM

personally i find it very inconvenient to root & flash a new ROM just to get this battery circular percentage (thats all i want, I am pretty satisfied with the stock FROYO 2.2)

Solution

I have modified an APK, used an existing programming logic (Battery Indicator - Open Source Project) but with different presentation.

the APK can be installed to your Desire (and probably other android phones without any problems) and it will show you what you want in the notification bar, just like in the screenshot below

Advantages

- You will not need to root your device (this APP will not change any system files in the framework-res.apk)

- You will not need to install different ROM

- Small size APK, you can just download, install and enjoy :)

Disclaimer

I have tested this APP on my Desire with stock FROYO 2.2 without any problems I have not tested it on any other device.

The App does not alter any system files, worst case scenario you will get FC. but just to be on the safe side, install on your own risk ;)

wold appreciate any feedbacks

- Graphics provided by Fightspit (Thank you!)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To answer some of the questions

- the Circular Battery Indicator does not use a lot of battery resources, the device broadcasts a message when the battery status changes, the app catches this broadcast and update itself to show the right percentage, it is as simple as that, so it is extremely light weight on the CPU.

-It is impossible to remove/hide the original battery icon on the status bar without root privileges, and if you have root you dont need this app, chances are you already found away to alter the original/stock battery icon to match your desire (check first post for the link on how to change stock battery icon if you have root).

-I am considering uploading this to the market, to reach a bigger market and making the updating process easier, dont have lots of time to do this now, but i am surly considering it

-for all the people who are interested in the control switch more than the app itself Lol ... its called "SwitchPro" widget

Enjoy

Irkan

UPDATE 27-OCT-2010

A version for the Desire's twin brother, Nexus One :) (and all other phones that has white status bar) check the attachments for downloads

UPDATE 17-OCT-2010

Fixed some small FC issue reported by a friend :)

UPDATE 16-OCT-2010

Alright a new version, with gradient color fill, less complicated code, and new icon :)

I like this idea for non-rooted users. Nice work!

Anyone have any ideas for hiding the original one? (without needing root preferably since obviously with root you could install this as a morph/flash).

that could be tricky, since altering any default component in the bar requires system privilege (i.e. root)

[Android Apps and Games] Averix:
Anyone have any comments on how battery intensive this battery monitor is? Most of the other widgets or notification apps I've tried seem to have a serious impact on battery life. Quick Battery is probably my favorite so far and seems to drain the least juice. I like this one's look much better, so I hope it doesn't chew battery.

BTW, display icon looks great on an EVO. Text is clear and readable too.

Search for it on Android Market.

I am a new user and do not let me post links.
[Android Apps and Games] maranello69:
@lolover: thx for the suggestion, but i already saw that app in the Market and i don't think that the colors of the circle are changing when the battery is lower... like in the pic from here

edit/ looks like the pro version has some kind of changing colors, will give it a try

Any word on whether this is possible/planned?
[Android Apps and Games] irkan:
Greetings

As i said in the first post.

this is impossible without changing system files, which requires "root" privileges, and the thing about this app that it does not require root / changing system files, its very safe, thats its main feature.

so until android allows "normal" users to add / remove basic things from notification bar, this is impossible with this app unfortunately.

if you have root, you can visit http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=724778

its an excellent thread (actually this is the thread that inspired me to do this app) from Fightspit that describes how you get what you want if you have root.

I have many ideas to improve this app, the thing is, i have many more important stuff going on right now, hopefully when i have some free time i will have a go at it.

and if u like the app, dont forget the "Thanks" button ;)

[Android Apps and Games] beepsilver:
Clarification

Irkan, I wonder if you've misinterpreted the question with your answer above. The questioner is asking (I believe) whether or not it is possible to turn off, or have the option to turn off the status of your app--circular battery indicator from the notification area (not the bar). We understand that it is impossible without root to remove the "original battery indicator" from the notification bar.

Thank you.

I love this app. I decompressed this and switched out the icons(and renamed them to n*.png) from the super circle battery thread. When I tried to recompile this it first complained about a missing apktool.yml file so I made one by hand. But afterwards, there were other issues in compileing.

Reading the error output over and over again, it seems that there are no resources for the requesting attributes in the *.xml files. Shouldn't of those resources have been packages with the circle_battery.apk file?

Also, I looked in the AndroidManifest.xml file and it has a url for grabing information(at work...don't have it on my at the moment). Is that URL supposed to be available? I tried it and didn't get anything.

Great app! A few issues though. I'm using a Motorola Droid 4 and your app only displays in increments of 10% for me. The Darshan Computing Battery Indicator app has an option to implement the 1% hack for Motorola phones but this app doesn't have that option. Is there any way to enable that?

Also, the Droid 4 has a dark blue notification bar but the drop down menu is white...so the normal apk icon shows great on the notification bar but not in the drop down menu...while the apk for white bars shows up on the drop down menu but not in the notification bar. Is there any way to alter that so it shows up as the white icon on the status bar and a dark icon in the drop down?

irkan,

Can you point the way to a noob, here? I figured I'd try to edit the px files myself so I could have a version with black letters. However, when I opened the png files in a graphics editor (Paintshop Pro and Photoshop) I didn't see the detailed image. Instead it showed me a very low resolution image. Obviously, there is some trick beyond what I know from editing Gif's or jpg's?

I don't need to waste a bunch of your time, but could you give me a few hints on the process for editing/saving these png's? You don't have to give me a complete tutorial -- just suggest the software/process and I will look up the details on Google.

Thx
