Additional Tools Within The Box

Nice job in continuing this handy tool box.

I just recently loaded the 4.6.2 version of Captivate SGS Tools.

Request to add some tools specific the KB1. (KB1 Modem tweaks, WiFi and GPS, tweaks, etc..) I see there are already some mods and tweaks pertaining to some of the functions listed above, just asking for some more specific to the KB1 build.

I saw cache cleaning and thumbs flushing, but no free space wipe.

Perhaps a utility that wipes free space (Full - Total Space - with an option(s) - Specific (Choose where to wipe (Internal SD, External SD or just the main)

Perhaps even a compression tool that (optional) either auto compresses (lets you choose the mode of compression) downloads while downloading to the Internal or External SD - or - lets you run a manual compression (lets you choose the mode of compression) after files have been loaded to any location in the file system.

Additionally I have additional Secret Codes that are not listed within the Secret Codes of this great tool. I'm not sure if this is due to you filtering the more useful and common codes out to list or something else...

(To the developer only) - If you are interested in the SC additions and perhaps adding some or more of them to to Captivate SGS Toolbox - let me know and I'll hook you up.

Thanx for your efforts and continuing this very handy tool.

Peace-

Additional Tools...

As an after thought to my prior post...

A few ideas:

The ability to toggle the Dropbox folder on/off - /data/system/dropbox

The ability to enable "Stay Awake" mode, which seemed to have been removed in the KB1 2.2 build

The ability to increase "Screen Timeout" settings beyond 10 minutes. It used to have a 30min max in Eclair 2.1

The ability to manually configure an auto-delete specified folders that resides on the internal SDCard or external SDCard.

Keep up the good work.

Peace-

[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:

Disabling media scanner makes my OS very crashy on boots. LauncherPro specifically has a 100% crash rate.

Also, I think the feature would be better executed disabling and/or delaying media scanner on boot, and not altogether.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] trekie86:
That function is geared towards those that are constantly pushing items to their phone through usb and sick of waiting for the discovery to finish everytime they unplug. Don't know if you can isolate the boot only media scanner.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] PIRATA!:
Ok, and about the sys folder of this new SGSTools..is it still /sgstools ???
[Captivate Themes and Apps] trekie86:
Yep, still /sgstools

Bug with removing system apps - dalvik cache not cleaned

Removal of system apps works, but dalvik cache for that particular app stays in place. Which causes subsequent installs of the same app to fail.

For example I have to do this manually:

adb shell

su

rm /data/dalvik*/*Launcher*

Please fix.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:
I will see if i can work that in for my next release.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Prodepressiva:
Sorry, as far as I understood this version does NOT work with the original I-9000 anymore does it?

My problem is, that I really like using SGS Tools on my international SGS-Tools (Germany) but since the new 2.2.1. update I miss the "Use as Lockscreen Image" option in the modified Gallery3D.apk

Is it safe for me to use your version and if so, can you update the modded Gallery to have the Lockscreen-Image feature?

Thank you alot
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:
Most of the original functionality should work on your i9000, but since I have a Cappy it is hard for me to test. If there is an app you would like me to include, give me a link and I will message the dev

Hi,

thanks for this great App! It is so far the only one I managed to find which enables me to modify the boot and shutdown sounds (which are really annoying).

I am from Germany and use a free (with official 2.2.1) SGS. Therefor I have a suggestion:

Add a check for the version and remove/ disable all non suited menu items depending on the version.

Keep up the good work!

Greetings

[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:
Gunther,

Thanks for the post. Let me look into how I can filter by phone type. I think you idea is excellent.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sithlordzid:
Hello,

After some searching around I couldnt find the answer to my problem. I want to use the samsung tab email app in SGS but keep getting connection errors when I sync with exchange. I found out the the error happens when it tries to download a email with out a subject. Any way to fix this? I really love the tab email way better than the stock one. Im using a captivate with froyo 2.2. Thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:
I am in the process of testing various tab email ports and keep running into the same issue myself
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xdahgary:
I don't know if you raised this issue already, but the disable media scanner script doesn't work.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:
I think i just fixed it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xdahgary:
I don't see a new market update. I re-download the scripts and still got applet not found. Do I need to restart or something?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:
I will launch it in a beta either later tonight or tomorrow.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:

I did the email upgrade to the galaxy tab version.I like the style, but it will not show my emails.It notifies me there are new ones, but I can't see them. I'd like to keep the app. Anything you can recommend. Also, I'm unable to revert to the stock app via the apply script menu.Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:
The Galaxy Tab Email app seems to be iffy for some users. What ROM were you on and I will pull an email.apk for you?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:

Did you take it back down? Can't initiate download.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:
Fixwd the download. I fat finger typed and had to rename the download file. Everything is working now.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] reinbeau:
This isn't a Market update? Because it isn't showing up as updated if it is.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:
I usually update here first and then update the market in a day or two.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mrhaley30705:
I may have pm'd you about this already, but the camera in 2.2 doesn't allow for gps to be unselected. There is a fix from a vibrant around here somewhere, but it won't allow you to select external sd as photo storage. Think someone might be able to come up with another camera hack/fix?

I love this app. I am glad you are carrying it on. I appreciate your(and everyone elses) hard work on this.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mrhaley30705:
Sorry to bump.

Downloaded beta. Would not install until i created a folder on sd card.

When i tried to access ROM Tools, got immediate FC.

After FC, Rom tools and the other fix (usually immediately below it) disappeared.

Deleted folder, reinstalled, same result when trying to open rom tools.

Not angry about it. its a beta and i knew it, i just hope it helps.

Running:

Continuum v4

Suckerpunch-Voodoo#11

JPG modem
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:
Thanks for the understanding and heads up. I will get it fixed tonight. Do you have a link to the camera app? I can't seem to find.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] lactardjosh:
This is from the Fascinate forum, but this is working for me.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=949566

It has the options for flash, which isn't necessary on the Captivate.

It allows for disabling geotagging and does not have the option to save to the external SD card.

There was a post in Q&A about getting it modded to be for the Captivate, so no flash and enabling save to external SD, as well as disabling geotagging.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mrhaley30705:
That is the one i was talking about (vibrant, fascinate, cant seem to keep that straight in my head.

Thanks for helping me out.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] lactardjosh:
No problemo.

I had posted the same link in a thread in the Vibrant forum, so you may have actually seen it there.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] grizzfu:
Thanks for your continued development! I use this app all the time.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:
I sent the dev a PM and asked him for permission to include in SGS Tools.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] GizmoDroid:
You can use the camera for sure (though you may want to ask Samsung before asking me :p). As mentioned before, since the Fascinate only has 1 SD card, the camera will always write to the internal sd card for phones who have 2.

It would be pretty easy to mod it to always store to the external card for 2 sd card phones, but since I only have a Fascinate, I can't really test this.

If someone really wanted to get into it, they could port the sd card selection menu to my mod, or (probably easier) port the GPS menu option to the stock Captivate camera.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hokiemoto:
Gallery sort

Anyone know why when I copy pictures from my PC onto the Captivate, the Gallery 3D tile view shows them in a random order rather than by filename or date taken?

The view that groups by date seems a little wonky too. (categorizing them by random dates)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:
I will be honest, I do not know.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:
Updated to 4.7.3:

4.6.2 - 4.7.3

- Fixed Enable/Disable Media Scan (May only work on some ROMs)

- Added LbsTestMode download/install to "Upgrade Stock Apps". Needed for ROMs where it is not included

- Added "Other Apps", Initially include ArcLauncher.apk (Tested on Captivate)

- Added GizmoDroid's Modded Camera
[Captivate Themes and Apps] kmetek:
does it work for SAMSUNG ACE?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:
I have no way to test
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mrhaley30705:
I think (only guessing) it organizes by date MODIFIED, not taken.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mrhaley30705:
Bump. Sorry.

Donloaded 4.7.3, everything opened, no force closes. Really like the new stuff in ROM tools. The GizmoDroid cam mod works, but still lacks choice of internal or external sd. Everything looks good so far.

In case you haven't heard it enough, thanks for carrying on with this app. I hope this little bit of knowledge helps everyone else out.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:
I appreciate your post.

Please let me know if you see any other apps or fixes that should be included. Seems like user posts are my main method for stumbling on new content.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bobapunk:
Ok- I have installed one of the "upgraded" launchers and now I have no phone icon. Sorry if this if a newb question, but where/how do I add it back? As it stands right now, I have no way to make a call to anyone not in my contact book...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:
To add an icon with touchwiz:

Open app drawer

Hit menu

View type

Edit

Move icons to bar (PHONE, ETC.)

Hit menu

Save
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mrhaley30705:
The only things I can think of are more up to date kernels(Onix just releases 2.0.3), and somewhere on this site is a modded 3e recovery that doesn't throw the signature error when you try to install an update.zip. I can't remember where it is, but I think it would help those that post "Ijust upgraded to froyo and now i want to flash a rom...". S

So far, everything is working on 4.7.3. Still no FC.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:
I will search them out. I will get probably post to the market tonight
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bobapunk:
wilsongis, Thanks for trying to help. I am following your steps, but when I get to "View Type" I only have 3 choices (customizable grid, Alpha grid, and Alpha list). I do not see "Edit". Hitting the menu capacitive button does nothing.

What am I missing?

This is with the GTG 5 icon dock tw-launcher.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:
Select customizable grid then hit the menu button ->Edit
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bobapunk:
Ok, that works - but there is no "phone" icon in my app drawer...

I actually figured out a different way to fix this. I went back the a 4 icon dock, and the phone icon was in it. So I long pressed the icon and drug it off the dock on the home screen. Then I went back to the 5 icon launcher (that did not have the phone icon) and drug the phone icon from the home screen onto the dock.

Weird way to do it, but it did work.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:
Updated the Market to 4.7.3
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:
You are right, it is weird. Is there a dialer in the app drawer?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SexyIceCream:
hi wilson, when i try to upgrade the stock apps my screen is stuck on " downloading..." is there anything i can do to dl the hacked apks another way?

edit: Solved, appears that my version of busybox was too old. updated it from the market and upgrading of stock apps now work =D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bobapunk:
No, I do not have "dialer" or "phone" in my app drawer...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] H3llstorm:

I had the same hangup. After I move my apps to the dock, they are no longer in the app drawer. I just added them to the drawer, then I had to move them to the home page and then to the new dock. Just wanted to say thanks. I use the secret code menu quite a bit, and upgraded the camera and the launcher. I tried the Arclauncher, which is fast by the way. But I liked the GTG with 5 icons better. I like the landscape rotation and the pinch to zoom out feature. Great app, keep it up!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:
There is a new version of touchwiz by gizmodroid. I think it is pretty good as well. He has it set up with an option menu to change number of icons,

How about adding an easy way to switch out build.prop files or other files like it?

For example - I want to use my Captivate to watch MLB.TV, but it's not a supported device. If you change the build.prop to reflect a supported device, it works. I only want the modded build.prop when I want to watch a game, so created a duplicate build.prop file that I switch out. I'd think it'd be great to be able to switch out two build.prop files easily.

Might fit in with the .prop editor somewhere.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wilsongis:
Can you send me a sample build.prop and I will see how I can make it work.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] BaDaB!ng505:
interesting...pm me also i really want to see how this will work?????
[Captivate Themes and Apps] lactardjosh:
Here are the build.props I'm using, hopefully very obviously named. There are only four lines that are different, so maybe something like allowing swapping lines out. The biggest drawback is having to reboot, but I assume there is no way around that.

build.prop.real:

ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
ro.product.brand=Samsung
ro.product.name=SGH-I897
ro.product.device=SGH-I897

build.prop.mlb:

ro.product.model=Nexus S
ro.product.brand=Google
ro.product.name=sodu
ro.product.device=crespo
[Captivate Themes and Apps] BaDaB!ng505:
dont know what to say..wouldn't changing build prop screw up most of phone function??? for example swype..this is bogus but ill give it a try
[Captivate Themes and Apps] lactardjosh:
Swype is the only thing that I've found that doesn't work when I switch it out. But, when I've done it, all I'm doing is watching a game and not doing anything else.

I've also done it with these changes in the build.prop

ro.product.model=SCH-I800
ro.product.brand=verizon
ro.product.name=SCH-I800
ro.product.device=SCH-I800
ro.product.board=SCH-I800

I guess ro.product.board=SCH-I800 isn't necessary.

I've watched parts of three games doing it. When the Captivate's build.prop is in place, MLB At Bat 11 doesn't even give the option for watching MLB.TV. With the lines swapped out, you can stream games. Even without an MLB.TV account, you can stream the free game of the day.

maybe you could help me out with your app..

had an idea the other day made a post didnt get much response but your name did get dropped in the one reply i got...

wondering if there is any way to delay media scanning on the cappy by 30 -60 seconds or have it be the last thing on boot?

I would like to let the phone finish booting and running other scripts before scanning for media files. I know the media scanning can be disabled but i would just like to delay it, or have it be the LAST thing it does at boot. I get major lag on bootup once media scanning starts and i can tell its busy trying to do other things than just scan, widgets and such are loading durring the scanning. I have an externalSD as well so it takes twice as long.

Okay, when I installed FireFly there was a folder called /sdcard/sgstools/, before installing this I used root explorer to delete the sgstools apk and that folder, I dropped the new apk into /data/app and it runs okay, but I see no scripts when I go into apply scripts. Where do the stock scripts come from? I see the sgstools folder is recreated but its empty
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Rooster*:
Well, the GPS fix did help somewhat. Instead of skipping a mile to three miles around town every 4 or 5 seconds, it now it skips around my neighborhood and eventually settles down to about 20-50 ft of my actual location, stays for about 2 minutes and starts skipping around again. The direction indicator (blue arrow) works better now. Before it would point a different direction every time it would skip around. I have not been able to test tracking as my car is broke down and we have 18" of snow here and haven't been out in 4 days :eek: although I don’t see the point in testing the tracking with the way it skips around everywhere. Its all really not a big deal for me because I always know where I'm at and where I'm going. GPS was something on Star Trek when I was growing up, :p but I still wish I could get the awesome GPS and battery life people are raving about with this ROM. :confused:
