Ok so here's exactly what I have to do to get all button on Button Savior to work.

Again I'm rooted via SDE so I'm not sure if this works for Archangel root.

1. With Root explorer, go to System> Bin and look for "input" file.

2. Press and hold for option to pop up and select "Permissions" and check all read, write, etc.

3. Reboot the device

4. Then press the regular Menu button (NOT on Button Savior yet) and go to Settings> Applications> Development then uncheck and recheck USB Debugging and hit OK.

5. Now on Button Savior press the either back or menu button.

6. The Superuser permission will pop up and select yes. If superuser is already set previously then a dialog box will shortly appear stating superuser permission applied.

7. Wait till the dialog box goes away, then press the back button. It should now back up one screen. If you press menu nothing will happen since you are in the Development screen which doesn't have a menu option so don't panic if that happens.

From here you can go back to home and test each button and they should all work now.

Each time you reset the buttons might not work again so what you need to do is go back and uncheck/recheck debugging first before pressing any of the Button Savior buttons. If you press any of Button Savior before recheck/unchecking debugging then it wont work. You'll need to reboot. To be safe uncheck/recheck it every reboot prior to using Button Savior.

The permissions should not be affected on reboot. The only time the permission gets unchecked is if you do the 10 second reset (holding power button for 10 seconds). In this case you have go back to step 1.

I know it's a bit of a pain to do but to me its worth not to have those buttons on screen Until a better solution comes out.

Another tip if you are using Density changer and for some reason need to reset and so to not lose your saved density is you can create a widget on the home screen and you can use it to do a reset.
[Gen8 General] wdl1908:
I'll post this here as it's related.

echo "ro.board.camera_hflipped=no" >> /data/local.prop

Then reboot.
[Gen8 General] Cuzz Face:
The only thing I want to do is put the home keys at the top of the screen. How is that done?
[Gen8 General] wdl1908:
echo "ro.board.has_buttonbar=no" >> /data/local.prop

Then reboot
[Gen8 General] Cuzz Face:
how do I program that? do I download that code to a SD card?
[Gen8 General] wdl1908:
First you have to have root.

Open the Terminal Emulator (you can find that in the market)

then the following commands

su
echo "ro.board.has_buttonbar=no" >> /data/local.prop

Then reboot
[Gen8 General] SWFlyerUK:
When the buttons are in the nav bar how do i go about going back or to the homescreen in apps like the Camera app, the soft buttons where always there you see, its a bit of a faf having to load up buttons mode all the time?

Can the notification bar be there all the time?
[Gen8 General] Cuzz Face:
Can't get it to work. I copied and pasted the code, rebooted and it was still the same!:confused: can someone make a simple video showing how these things are done?
[Gen8 General] daveid:
For those of you hiding the button bar, is there any way to do it while leaving the notification bar alone - and just use something like Button Savior? The resulting notification bar is hideous and useless on my A43 when the button bar is hidden, but I so want full-screen mode to work with 3rd party apps.

I did figure out how to get button savior to work without reboots. Simply end the task, either with a task manager or through the settings interface, disable/enable usb debugging, and restart button savior.
[Gen8 General] fuzzer:
AFAIK Button Savior is the only option ATM...
[Gen8 General] daveid:
I meant removing the soft keys from the notification bar while using button savior, redundancy sucks.
[Gen8 General] fly_us:
moving button to notification bar is the best thing ATM..
[Gen8 General] minxwin:
For those who wants to make their status bar smaller while you hide the softkey using the method in the 1st page. Juz use LCD DENSITY then set it to 130.

I use it for my 101. its just like the default statusbar.

Try it!

hope this helps!
[Gen8 General] yepayepa:
Mates,

I've investigated why Button Savior won't work, and I've found the solution.

In Uruk (since I'm using it), /system/bin/input shell script miss execute attributes.

So, as root just do this:

chmod +x /system/bin/input

That's all.

Cheers.

Since the 2.1.08 update, this setting, which previously un-mirrored the image, causes the camera image to rotate the wrong way as you rotate the tablet so that in portrait orientation the image is upside down. Any ideas?
[Gen8 General] wdl1908:
On what device because that works perfectly on my A101IT with 2.1.08
[Gen8 General] ske714:
A70IT. It worked before the update. Now it still un-mirrors the image, but like I said, it rotates the wrong way.:confused:
[Gen8 General] TyRaNiDeX:
Hi everyone, and thanks to Jerry101 for this tricks.

But, i don't understand, how ro.board.rotation_portrait works.

Or if anyone know how to force portrait mode for all application + home screen, let me know !

Thanks !

who can make it works?

ro.board.touchpad_press_thresh=0.3

[Gen8 General] jerry101:
you can try ro.board.display_portrait=2,but auto-rotate will be wrong.set it only when you really want portrait mode.

[Gen8 General] fuzzer:
If its possible, please explain this for those of us unable to speak android code yet..

Do I edit the "input" file and add a line? I am rooted with archangel, and using root explorer....

TIA

Steve
[Gen8 General] fly_us:
If you have Root Explorer, then you can go to folder /system/bin looking for the file name "input". Long press it and select permissions. Enable everything there.

BTW, IIRC, you could not change with archangel way. Correct me if i'm wrong since i'm on Uruk now and never use archangel before.
[Gen8 General] p0rk burn:
Easiest way is just to open terminal, type su, then "chmod +x /system/bin/input" without quotes. I don't know about this Archangel bit though.

Using the terminal entry is seriously easy, don't see the need for rootexplorer on this one.
[Gen8 General] rUmtifUsel:
this method worked fine for me! great work :)

with these two settings...

ro.board.light_sensor=yes

ro.board.has_buttonbar=no

and

installed button savior

and a new homescreen-design the archos looks and works great now.
[Gen8 General] wdl1908:

[Gen8 General] tuxling:
No need for LCD density changer

While searching for an app to permanently set my LCD density i found Blade Buddy, it put some settings in local.prop not mentioned here.

The two most interesting to me was:

ro.sf.lcd_density=130 and qemu.sf.lcd_density=130

They both set the LCD density to 130 (or whatever number you enter) even after a reboot.

So now my notification bar is normal height with my soft keys in it, and i don't have to use LCD Density Changer after each reboot. :)

They both work on my A70 IT 250GB, and they don't both have to be there.

The other settings the app made to local.prop is:

debug.sf.nobootanimation=0

ro.camera.sound.forced=0

media.stagefright.enable-player=false

media.stagefright.enable-meta=false

media.stagefright.enable-scan=false

media.stagefright.enable-http=false

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=15

dalvik.vm.heapsize=24m

debug.sf.hw=1
[Gen8 General] LeoNg628:
I dont think this is good idea to disable them:

media.stagefright.enable-player=false

media.stagefright.enable-meta=false

media.stagefright.enable-scan=false

media.stagefright.enable-http=false

There you go: Moving soft keys to notification bar on Archos 101/70/43/32/28
[Gen8 General] yepayepa:
anyway I gave up with button savior, too much problems with it. Now I'm using Softkeys, it's free and fits my needs.

Cheers.
[Gen8 General] fuzzer:
softkeys is very unresponsive, you dont have any problems?
[Gen8 General] yepayepa:
No, no problems. But I turned off all panels/button displacements.

Sent from my hands using semaphores.
[Gen8 General] daveid:
Yeah that seems to make it much much better, if you disable all the "movable" settings, Softkeys is much more responsive (probably because it isn't trying to track your motion or detect it anymore). I have had a much better experience with Softkeys over Button Saviour (which would never fully work after a reboot without some extra work).
[Gen8 General] LeoNg628:
Cheers, I am using SoftKeys too, button savior is too troble..:cool:
[Gen8 General] LeoNg628:
anyone know what is the max value of "connection.concurrent"?
[Gen8 General] MasterSyrron:
Do you have to have LCD Density and/or Blade Buddy installed for those two lines to work properly in the local.prop file?

EDIT 1

This WILL work without LCD Density or Blade Buddy installed. HOWEVER, if you use a home replacement app such as ADW Ex (like I do), it will shrink the dockbar as well. 130 seems too small for my tastes, so I'm upping it and going from there.

EDIT 2

This also seems to change the size of the icons, file thumbnails, menus, the lock pattern on the unlock screen, and more. Generally scales the size of the UI it seems! 250 gives a "chubby" feeling! :) I'm finding 215 is a better feel.

EDIT 3

Here's my final local.prop file:

ARCHOS 101

Rooted with Archangel

Running ADW Ex

ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
ro.board.light_sensor=yes
ro.board.has_buttonbar=no
ro.sf.lcd_density=215
qemu.sf.lcd_density=215

All around THANK YOU to everyone who has contributed to this thread!!!

[Gen8 General] mikal75:
Does anybody know how to re-size the soft-button bar?

Here is what I did:

I used LCD Density Changer and set the density value to 120.

Archos 70S works fine with this setting (I turned off compatibility mode).

The problem is that the soft button bar "seems" bigger comparing to the rest of the screen. The button-icons are smaller but the size of the buttons-bar remains the same (and the visual effect is that the bar shows very large).

I do not use the notification-bar (I have set it to hidden) and I do not find convenient to use the soft buttons on the notification bar (unless it is on the bottom... :-) )

Is there a way to make the soft-buttons BAR smaller (reduce the width of the bar)?

Thanx!

Mike
[Gen8 General] fisha21:
Thanks to ebarcus atAndroidTablets.net for this one:

Add the line

ro.board.rotation_portrait=1

to the local.prop file.

Moves the softbar to the bottom of the screen (see screenshot).

Only problem is that it disables portrait mode completely, screen will only switch between the two landscape orientations. Also, whilst I had this active, I couldn't connect via adb wireless - maybe connected, maybe not, who knows....

Tried this out on my A101, not sure about other Gen8's
[Gen8 General] Flix123:
Is there a possibility to remove all the buttons?

So I could have the normal status bar and no buttons on the right side.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crazydaddy:
Hello all,

First off, this site is awesome. With a little reading, I've rooted/s=off my new mytouch4g with no issues. I've also created a nandroid backup as well as having the PD15IMG ready in case....cos you never know :D

I've been looking at roms for a bit. Iced Glacier seems like a "beginner" rom, removed tmobile bloat, some new stuff added, etc. CM roms sound awesome, but I'm not sure I want to go that extreme right off. I'd like all the features of the phone to function until I figure out what I use and what I could live with out....etc.

Is there a rom out there that is basically stock, with all the crap like yahoo messeger, yahoo mail, rock band, monopoly qik vid chat, etc removed....with maybe a slightly OC'd kernel? 1.5ish or so?

I realize that I can now remove the software I don't like myself. However I'm not sure I feel comfortable installing a oc'd kernel myself. I like the sense UI, but as I understand it slows the phone a bit.

I guess what Im looking for is a rom with the stock UI look/feel, with none of the crap installed and and OC'd kernel that runs faster than the bone stock setup. I still want to be able to use wifi calling, hotspot....etc if needed. Or would this be a waste of time?

As I said, the forums are awesome. If I've missed a post on this very subject I'm sorry in advance!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
The ROM you are looking for is Iced Glacier.

And Cyanogen's ROMs aren't extreme. If anything they are the slimmed down variant of Android. They way it was meant to be IMHO.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmwils3:
Agreed, Ice Glacier seems like the best fit for your described wants, and you can always use root explorer to remove the apps you dont want from the /system/app folder.

and while CM isnt as scary as it seems, I DO understand that, being new to the whole custom ROM scene, the sheer number of customizations and tweaks available in it can seem rather daunting.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Tonkadan:
HI,

First I must say sorry for my english as It's not my native language.

I have a problem with my Desire Z from Bell. The notification sound is not played correctly.

Exemple, if my notification sound is "Ping!", when I have an email I should ear only "Ping!" but i ear something like "Ping-Pi-Pi-Pi-Ping-Pi-Pi-Ping!" like the sound is repeated multiple times overlaping the one already playing.

It's very anoying. Anyone knows why? How to solve this?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Pat123:
I have experienced this too on some ROMs and it is annoying as hell! For me, whenever I receive an email, I receive a notification sound and along with it, it also plays one of the ring-tones which goes on and on until I pull the notification bar down! Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Pat123:
Anyone experienced this?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Rickroller:
I experienced this issue as well (Bell DZ unlocked on Telus). I tried a few various things..but I think what solved the issue for me was to delete my email accounts..and then re-add them. If I remember correct that solved the issue..but you could also try changing notification sounds..and then changing back again to your desired one.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jtadak:
Check the notification sounds in the app then turn them off. Then u should only get one sound from the main one for your phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jtadak:
Sounds like the same issue is when you have a second text app, it plays two notifications when you receive texts until you go into the stock app and turn off the notifications. Hope this helps, I know the frustration.

What is your prefered screen size?

In my opinion 3.8 is perfect. I like 3.7 but the problem is that it is not as wide as the 3.5 screens on the garminphone, iphone, huwai ascend, and that's the only thing I don't like about 3.7 screens and the new motorolla cliq too its ridiculously long and thin, I did a side to side comparisom and it is less wider than the 3.7 inch screen on my G2 but a little bit longer. It was a dissappointment the cliq 2 of course why would they make the screen less wide that makes no sense to me anybody else feels like this about 3.7 screens?

The 3.8 on the mytouch 4G is wider than the 3.5 screens we know on the phones I mention and I like that. Btw I think they could've squeezed a 3.8 on the G2 at the size it is, that's one of the things I love about the G2, the size overall is nice.
[General Topics] GnatGoSplat:
3.7". I don't really feel like the 3.5" on my iPhone is any wider than the 3.7", but I never measured. I know 3.7" phones themselves are usually the same width as the iPhone.
[General Topics] orb3000:
something between 3.7 minimum to 4.3 max
[General Topics] astar26:
3.7" is the best size for me (at least from what I tried, it depends on the size of your hand, I don't realy own a touchscreen device currently, tried friends').

The width of the screen is affected by the ratio, there are wide screens, 4:3 screens etc.

Depends on resolution.
[General Topics] souljaboy:
4.5" , but 4.3" is minimum , anything else is unmanly and is a toy phone
[General Topics] natet1:
3.7" is good -- i find much bigger than that ends up being too big for a phone..

[General Topics] androidfeen809:
I measured them, the iphone and huwai ascend, screen is 1.94 inch wide, the 3.7 on the G2 is 1.90 wide, also I notice the cliq 2 screen is longer and less wide than the G2 screen being the same size. I prefer wider screen than longer, don't get me wrong I'm good with the 3.7 inch its not that big of a deal

[General Topics] Dirk:
4" is perfect for me, but i have smallish hands. I'm happy with the 3.7" i currently have though.

What worries me is that all the top end phones are coming out with 4.3" screens now, meaning i'll have no choice but to go bigger in future :mad:

Do you guys with bigger screens have any trouble with them fitting in your trouser pockets? Is it comfortable?
[General Topics] Mark Uhde:
I like the 4" screens on the Captivate and stuff, but even a GOOD 3.5" like on the iPhone 4 is a great screen, and likewise, the 4.3" and 4.5" screen are tempting. I do think once you go above 4" it's harder to keep a phone from being a big ugly brick (think Droid X) but I'm looking forward to seeing what Samsung does with the 4.5" Super AMOLED Plus. That promises to be a nice screen - none of the PenTile checker boarding, really thin, Samsung's great at design. Too bad they're so bad at the updates thing...

Damn! homie just get a tablet lmao jk
[General Topics] androidfeen809:
trust me I doubt most phones would come out 4.3, it seems 3.7-4" its getting to be the rule now most phones launching are withing that range I doubt the new sidekick will be anything bigger than 3.7 lol some sidekick feens are actually I would say dreaming about the sidekick having a 4.3" screen imagine a screen that big flipping how big the phone gonna be lol. And the samsung 4G as we already know is 4". I also think 4 is nice but they have to do it like they did it with the motorolla defy waterproof the phone is incredibly small much smaller than the G2 with a nice 3.7 screen. I think they could've squeezed in a 3.8 in the G2 and could've made it smaller. I mean just look at the garminphone it is ridiculously and unnecesarily huge for a 3.5 screen. Just the front is about 55% screen and 45% buttons.

http://www.androidcentral.com/att-a...available-march-6-or-earlier-pre-order-feb-13

- The phone itself will cost $199 after rebate and two-year contract.

- Presales start Feb. 13, the phone will be available March 6 "or earlier."

- You have to have a minimum data service that costs $15 a month.

- The Atrix and Laptop Dock can be purchased as a package for $499.99 -- after contract and a $100 rebate.

- There's also an Entertainment Access Kit -- with the HD Multimedia Dock, a Blueooth keyboard and mouse, and remote control. That costs $199.

- The Laptop dock by itself costs $499.99. (Better to buy it with the phone.)

So, On contract, it's going to be $199. If you want the Laptop Dock, you can get the Bundle at $499. AFTER rebate, and you MUST have the tethering plan.

Sorry, but NO sale. Requiring the tethering plan is ludicrous, and $499 for the laptop dock? I REALLY wanted this phone and the Laptop dock, but these prices are stupid.
