The built-in contacts app would be perfect for me if only it could be set to default to the 'No Categories' filter setting. In the wizard sub-forum there's several others asking for the ability to set a default filter.

My aging eyes have a hard time focusing on the text in IE even when I double tap to zoom in. Is there a system setting or is there a third-party app that will allow me to make text bigger?

I found some interesting things in the phones registry
I went here and found this interesting value in Registry Editor:
My Device > HKEY_CURRENT_USER > ControlPanel > Accessibility > FontSize
and the FontSize is set to Value = 1, Dword
But I haven't tried changing anything and I DO NOT RECOMMENT you to change anything until some people who wants to try it has tried to check so the phone doesnt brick/break.

I appreciate the answer I don't mind risking my Focus since I am upgrading. I'll give it a shot.
First off, please report the results of your experimentation! This could be a handy tweak.
Second, there's an entire accessibility Settings menu. It's hidden by default (for no reason I can figure) on some phones. Hiding it is a registry setting, and some apps (like Advanced Config on http://touchxperience.com) will switch it for you. Something in there may help.
Third, double-tap just sooms in on the element that you tapped. If that element is pretty big already, it won't zoom very far. You can, at any time in IE, use two fingers ina pinching motion to fine-control the zoom level, or zoom in wherever you want to. This also works in the email reader view.
Any news about the sms and phone numbers in the contact list?

the idea changing the value of FontSize doesn't work!
Hey everyone,
I am using a fitness-tracker called the "Misfit Shine" (www.misfitwearables.com). The tracking itself works quite well (it has some flaws), but especially the sleep tracking surprises me, as it is pretty accurate. And this is the one I'm most interested in
As this little device uses BlueTooth LE without a constant connection, the battery life with a little CR2032 is amazing.
If caters to my needs, as I don't need yet another device to flood me with notifications and the overall look is elegant, not-clunky and unobtrusive so that it can be worn in every situation (even at work).
However I would want to speed up the process of triggering the synchronization by using a homescreen shortcut. :fingers-crossed:
Right now one needs to open the app (PlayStore Link) and tap a little button in the top right corner (see screenshot).
Upon checking the available "activities" for shortcuts, using my preferred Launcher Nova, I only saw one activity: "MainActivity", which just opens the app and displays the current day's activity log.
Is there a way to "sniff" for other actions that could be called by using an app like "Manual Intent Shortcuts" (PlayStore Link)?
Or any way to record a macro that can be linked with a shortcut?
Maybe I could guess the action's name somehow?
How do I find out what the correct values (action name, component name, component class etc.) for the shortcut, created with "Manual Intent Shortcuts" are? (I tried it with "com.misfitwearables.prometheus" and some variations of it with "...action.mainactivity". I always get "App not found" as a Toast-Error message. To be honest...all that was just trial and error, as my knowledge in that field is not really founded.)
I'm not sure what's possible at all.
I just hope it's possible to access actions externally at all.
I would highly appreciate every hint given
Thank you in advance.
Using Takser to create a task that does following did the trick:
Open App
wait 1s
run shell command "input tap x-coord y-coord" as root
The coordinates can be determined by activating "display of touch inputs" under settings / developer options.
It's pretty much a very basic form of macro recording, but it works flawless.
The task can then be selected as a custom homescreen shortcut or as a bound swipe-guestore for an existing icon on Nova Launcher.
I am making an app for people with visual impairment to make setting process easier to them. So I need to change Accessibility Settings from Android, but I find nothing that can help me in this task. I need to change the speed of the speech from TalkBack (the screen reader) or just enable this from my app, for example. But I need help for all possible accessibility settings.
Hello, I'm looking for a hand tracking down a specific string I'd like to change with Substratum. It's the words "All day" in my Samsung Always On Display's Events widget (default example attached). Samsung gives a nifty option to show your daily agenda on the Always On Display, and since I just want the weather and temperature on that screen, I use a Tasker task to create a calendar event every hour with the temperature and conditions. But it would be a lot cleaner if I could hide the text "All day".
The trouble is that it gets the data from somewhere else. So I looked through all the strings in the Always On Display app, com.samsung.android.app.aodservice.apk and the Samsung calendar app, com.samsung.android.calendar,
as well as the Calendar storage com.android.providers.calendar.apk, and found some specific "All day" strings, but none that affect the text I want to change. Any ideas about ways to track down strings are also appreciated! I've thought about using AppLocale2 to try to change the language of different apps for example, and see if it changes anything.
Thanks!
I am trying to assign custom ringtones, I accidentally set a default app and don't know how to change/remove it.
Contacts - Name of Person - Edit - View More - Default Ringtone - + (at top right of screen)
It is here that I set the default app (image below), and I can't figure out which app this is.
All I want is to change/remove this default app. I think I chose music, but it has me changing my default messaging app to Next SMS and I don't want to do this.
I have googled and tried many different things but nothing is working (and I don't want to reset all default apps). I restarted my phone which didn't do anything. This is my last solution.
Troy searching for "default apps" in Settings. There you can set the messaging app.
