Anytime Just double check and let me know if it works.

it works well. would there be a possibility of having a widget for it similar to the 4g, BT and GPS ones?

There's an app on the market called led light(or something like that) that gives you the sense looking widgets. Only thing is that the app graphic looks like crap. So I went in and changed the graphic to the HTC one lol.
PM me if you want it. I don't want to upload someone else's work with my changes w/out his permission.

Works great on DC 3.2.3.
Thanks.

In case anyone cares, I tested it with cm6. It installs, works great.

I dont see any link! Is it cuz im using the xda app?

It will install but no actually work on the DX with the 2/2 OTA

FWIW I used to use LED Light until it's graphic conflicted with my new theme. Now I use 'Extended Controls' (~$1) that is a pretty damn customizable power control widget (wifi/3G/etc) that also has a button to make the LED light up.
It may not be worth the money for just the light, but since you can customize your power control widget to any size and any number of controls + unobtrusive LED light, I'd say it's worth it.
Sigh... I can't even link a pic of it because I'm still a noob.
EDIT: I actually don't know if it will work on 2.1 either - I don't see a minimum version requirement. Also, I thought I'd list it's 'controls' - MANY more than stock lets you play with. (Another reason it's worth the $1)

[Q] Is there a way to create 'widgets' out of shortcuts?

I'd like to do the following:
1: I'd like to have custom email, sms, etc icons that show how many messages I have. As you can imagine there would be many other uses for this.
2. I'd like to have custom shortcuts that perform system functions (turning on GPS, Wifi, etc) and reflect the on/off state of the function it represents.
Anyone know of an existing way to do this?
Thanks!!

1. There are applications on the market for this. You would just need to unpack it and add your own image, that would disable updates though and you would have to repeat the process for each update.
2. Power control widget?

1. Any idea what these apps are called?
2. I hate the look of most power control widgets... are any of them skinnable?

Use Weather and Toggle Widgets. The "Donate" version supports skinning.

[App] Google Voice Catcher for MIUI (updated 3/12/2011)

UPDATE: Version 1.1 is prettier and now launches straight to the Google Voice inbox without the delay from Version 1.0.
Here is a simple app I created that will allow Google Voice to be launched from the message icon on the MIUI lockscreen. I use it with this ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915527
Usage:
Install the attached APK.
Lock your phone.
Unlock your phone from the MIUI lockscreen by swiping with the message icon on the right.
In the "Complete action using" dialog, check "Use by default for this action" and select "Inbox"
You're done! Now whenever your unlock your phone with the message icon, it should launch straight to the Google Voice inbox.
You may need to uninstall any previous versions of the app, since they were signed with the debug keys. To do so, navigate through the following:
Settings -> Programs -> Manage Applications -> Downloaded -> com.ayuforever.googlevoicecatcher -> Uninstall​
For anyone who's interested, the reason that Google Voice isn't available by default from the lockscreen message icon is that it doesn't have the intent filter for the "vnd.android-dir/mms-sms" mimetype. This app registers the needed intent filter and in turn launches the Google Voice app.

This is really cool.
How hard is it to change the lock screen icon designations?
Is it possible to change one of the icons to be a search icon, so that when you unlock with it, it launches a search keyboard?
p

lets try this again.

All I wrote was an app that catches an intent that Google Voice didn't already catch. Changing the icons on the lock screen? You'd have to ask the MIUI devs about that.

I don't understand what means. You are making the messaging icon point at another process or app?

ok installed and it doesn't do any thing? WTF?

The messaging icon starts the activity for the default intent of the "vnd.android-dir/mms-sms" mimetype. While the stock messaging app and other apps like Handcent register this intent, the Google Voice app does not.
All this app does is register the necessary intent and then start Google Voice.
It doesn't do any sort of modding to the MIUI lockscreen at all.

how do I uninstall it? thanks in advance
I don't have to wait long for google voice to open I use swiftkey it opens quick for me thanks

Google Voice for calling
Have any of you gotten Google Voice making calls to work? So far the dialer doesn't seem to want to route my calls through Google Voice... :-/

Ran across this today. Wonderful stuff. Works perfectly after setup.
Edit: Working on Samsung Captivate

Thanks.
Working great so far with Rod's miui mod!
I've been wanting something like this for a long time.

Same thing has been happening to me.
How did you solve this? I need GV for international calling.
EDIT: I figured it out. Go into settings > Programs > Call Settings and enable 3rd party access under the phone security section
thanks.

This works so well...thanks! You are great! Now if only I could get 5 point lockscreen to recognize Google Music

This works perfectly - Samsung Fascinate on miui 1.9.x
Tried thanking you in your original post, but I only see the "Thanks" buttons on page 2+ of the this thread!

[APP] PerApp -- change a few per-app settings

Official release is in Google Play.
PerApp is a simple open source app that lets you set a few settings for individual apps. Specifically as of 1.03:
- orientation
- volume boost (Android 2.3+)
- screen timeout time
- CPU speed [root]
- font size
- input method [root]
I have a pre-release version here, with source code in the repository.
I wrote it because there is one app that I wanted to be able to lock the screen orientation for. I knew there is an app in the Market that does that, but I didn't like a recent review of it, so I wrote my own.
I am sure Tasker does all of this and more, but I prefer to use a simple, small and cheap app.
Only the CPU settings use root.

I posted 0.03 which should work better with the never show notification icon option.

Nice this is exactly what i searched changing the volume of one app.
i dowloadet the version PerApp003.apk start the program and after aktivating it and caling the programm again, my screen rests black and i get after +- 10sec the message: Unfortunately, PerApp has stopped.
any posibility to find a error log that can help to find the problem ?
the error coms on a Samsung Galaxy S 2 on 4.03
sorry for bad english

Yeah, install Android Log Collector, run Per App, and right after the crash go to Log Collector and email me (arpruss at gmail dot com) your log. I have yet to see private stuff in a log, but if you're really careful you can email the log to yourself first, look through it, and then forward it to me.

EDIT: Works great now on gs2 4.0.3 big thx to arpruss

ICS problem fixed, confirmed with user.
I recommend everyone switch to 0.04 as it does stuff The Right Way.

I posted 0.06 which improves an audio boost issue.

I just added:
- CPU min/max speed changing on a per app basis (needs root); you need to go to Menu | Settings to activate it, though.
- Jelly Bean support (needs root, as in JB one doesn't get the READ_LOGS permission without root; on ICS and below root is not needed).

Just put out 0.08, fixing bug in CPU speed adjust.

Can you add per-app GPS setting?

Great idea!

I made some UI improvements in 0.09. Now in the apps list it shows some info about how apps were customized. Moreover, if you edit defaults, you get an option to reset all apps to default in respect of one of the settings.

Great work!
I suggest separating apps that had their settings changed from the ones with the default settings or puting them on top for easy access...
A change log in the OP would be appreciated as well.
Thanks!

color me impressed. I've been using tasker to do such things but I'd like it in a seperate app, especially if I can export those settings later (apply them to other phones maybe?)

It would be very usefull if you can set DPI perapp.
Thx.

But not all everyone likes CyanogenMod based roms

Does the volume boost work the other way around and can you use it on system apps? I'd really like to lower the volume of incoming facebook messages and the camera shutter since it doesn't seem to be affected by changing any sounds except for silent mode.

nice app
:good:

Great app. Any plans for releasing it in Play store?

[App] Edge Lighting fix for all Apps (ACTUAL Edge Lighting)

Get actual Samsung Edge Lighting Notifications with any app while your screen is off!​
Since we all know Samsung only did half the job with this feature, this app will enable you to trigger Edge Lighting (the real one !) when your screen is off. It works with any app by reading the app notification creating a new temporary notification that triggers edge lighting (you won't notice it in your notification list).
You can set custom color filters for your apps, based on their names.
Features:
Real Samsung Edge Lighting
Extremely minimal battery drain
No fake AOD Screen
Works with ANY app (including Messenger!)
Initial setup is a bit tedious, but that's mostly Samsung's fault.
Any suggestion to improve the app is -of course- welcome!
Download link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.zunder.edgelightingfixforallappsv2

Patch notes:
Users using a version priori to 1.2 need to install a new version of the app from the market (link updated in the first post)!
v1.24
Fixed an issue that caused the app to crash for some users.
v1.23
Added a custom icon feature for each app (Premium feature)
v1.22
Added a switch to enable/disable display of system apps in the list
v1.21
Fixed a switch display bug when using the search feature.
v1.2
Just to explain: I had to create a new app on Play store because, for whatever reason, the Play Console won't let me update the old one.
- New super sexy interface
- Filter search
- In-app support purchase to remove ads
v1.07
Added support for Do not Disturb mode. You can still bypass it in the notification parameters on my app, but there is no way so far I can make it work on a per application basis.
v1.06
Taping an app icon now now copies its name to the clipboard for faster filters setup.
v1.05
Added a detailed help screen
v1.04
Finally added an icon for the app
v1.03
Fixed the issue about the switches resetting when you scroll

Seems great, but the link doesn't work for me.

When you choose your edge notification style, you should be able to pick a color. Set it as custom and add filters from notification titles (which are the source apps names the way they are displayed in my app)

Thanks guys for reporting this issue, I'll add some kind of help in the next release and the PlayStore app description tomorrow (3am there, I'm just barely stayin awake cause I wanna see what you guys have to say about my app).

Hello, thanks for the application, now I want to try ... will the notification light remain on until I open it? Can you add an on and off time? similar to a led notification? Thank you

Works good so far, however, there is no app icon on the notification (generic android icon on gmail), also there is a ": nul" append at the end of text.

For now, no I just implemented a basic Samsung Edge Lighting notification, so you got what they designed.
I will see how I can make the notfication repeat at a fixed interval set by the user. I'm just afraid it will be extremely battery hungry.

With my app, notifications shouldn't wake your screen up but give you an edge light.
When you get in the menu for custom color, you have to allow my app ("Edge Lighting for all Apps") to send Edge Lighting notifications.
Edit: do you understand that Edge Lighting will prevent notifications from turning the screen on but instead display some kind of edge light while keeping your screen off?

OK thanks. It would be interesting to add that option. Does the goodlock edge light work? So is the LED only activated around the camera?
