I was wondering if there was anyway possible to change a setting to continue using the camera at low battery.

the same for music and videoplayer please
Also would like to know if there's a way.. it seems kind of ridiculous that there isn't an option to disable it... Well-intentioned, poorly implemented
the same for the voice recorder ...subscribed

I am sure that someone knows how to do it. Maybe it is in the settings.db that we access to enable sideloading of applications. I will look more into it and let you know if i run across anything
I checked the settings.db and it doesnt hint at changing any of those settings. Maybe i missed something but I dont think so. Are there any other settings files in the OS?
I was hoping this would be removed or disabled in Froyo, but it is still unchanged.
I actually think I know what the cause of this is.
The obvious answer is that it's Samsung's doing. Now, I don't know about you guys, but I like the changes Samsung made to these apps, with the low battery exception. If you were to replace these with the AOSP apps for each respective task, the low battery issue goes away, meaning that this is coded into the apk somewhere. I'll see if I can dig around and find them, and possibly hack a line or 2 of code out. I'll test my results, if there are any, and post them here.

Hey All -- maybe this is more of a general Android question, but: Is there a universal way to "undo" an action, like deleting a bunch of text? Any way to do this with any of the keyboards that I missed? I know in windows mobile, if you could type "CTRL+Z" you'd undo things, but I have not seen a way to do this in Android, unless a specific app provides that option in the menus. For example, while in a random text editor I downloaded from the Market (I forget which one) I accidentally deleted a line I had selected, and it seems that was that -- there was no way to get it back since the app didn't provide an Undo option! It seems that perhaps the OS might allow this, since most do, but I really couldn't figure anything out.
Anyway, just wondering if there's a trick anyone knows, either specific to the Captivate or one of the keyboards out there, or for Android in general.
Thanks!
I'm still newer to Android and today realized the permissions that apps request. Before I was quick to just accept & go. I was about to install an app that is requesting a LOT of permissions. Phone calls, hardware controls (pics/vids at any time), and network communication (SMS I believe). My questions are simple.
1. Do some mods already implement certain things into itself to disable some of these features? I understand this is a mod-by-mod basis if so. Does Synergy do anything to disable this crap, anybody know?
2. How worried do I have to be about this? Will the app literally take pics and send them out without my knowledge? Or is it only the pics I take it can send out? How does this work?
3. Which of the permissions that apps request do I really need to keep an eye on and watch out for? AKA, what could take info/pics that I dont want it to?
4. Is Anti-Virus software REALLY necessary since I'm all rooted and such? I read articles saying it's useful and others saying it doesn't even provide much protection, and the chance to get something is quite rare if you only use google play/android market?
Thanks in advance for any and all help. I ditched Apple and AT&T for this thing, and with it being rooted, I am unbelievably happy I made the switch to both VZW and the S3! AWESOME phone, screen size, and customization!

Ok, so maybe this is getting ignored because it's too much of a noob question, or self explanatory? Not sure, but I want to know how far this crap goes...To my worst fears, like hardware control can take pics any time they want and I never know about it, or is it not that bad?
Thanks in advance for any help!
It is somewhat self explanatory... just use common sense when downloading an app... If you don't think it really needs the permission that it's asking for then don't download it. For example, there's no reason a music app that plays your sdcard contents needs your GPS location, etc... Look at the reviews of apps in question also... that's your best indicator right there if the app is trustworthy or not... If it's a bad app then its going to have bad reviews.

Is there a way to disable the "sharpening" filter/effect that the stock gallery app seems to put on every single photo? I've seen a few related articles on this subject, but none of them really seem to solve the issue. If it means having to download a new application, I'm perfectly OK with that, but I'd like some recommendations if possible; I've tried a few others, but I really like the way the stock application handles organisation and display styles...
If there is already a thread on this that I missed while searching, let me know and I'll request this to be deleted.
Hello folks, Friend of mine who is blind has gone from iphone to android. They have an App they are attempting to use that came with a smart cooker, but there is one single aspect of the app that is hindering the usefulness. It is a Picker that comes up to set duration, Talkback just doesn't want to see it. So I i was thinking If I could decompile the app maybe I could somehow muddle my way into making it accessible. LOL... I got it de-compiled, looked over the XML's and JAVA and bam I'm lost. Now I am not asking for anyone to hold my hand or do this for me. But I was hoping someone might give me an idea of where to focus to make a change like this, From there maybe I can figure it out for future issues. At this point I am not even sure If I need to focus on change to an XML file or the JAVA itself. Any help would be awesome.

Not sure if the problem still exists, but there is a couple of things to look at.
First, check what Java class is used to render the Picker.
If it's a part of Android framework, check Stackoverflow to see if it has accessibility issues.
If it's an external class, you will need to modify it to expose it to Accessibility API.
For supported built-in views check XML files for android:contentDescription attributes.

I purchased a Bluetooth Purification Mask named Atmoblue.
It originated in China. Ive had it for a few months now and it has bluetooth and there is an app for it but it looks like its taking forever for it to be moved over to English.
My question is how hard would it be for a person (or me, with no experience at all) to pull the basic functions out of the app?
For example I want to bypass the wechat login (cause, no) and basically get the pairing function up and running along with the fan speed and some of the auto features in the app and create a basic app til they release the full thing.
If any of you also want to try I can send you the link to the apk. Or if you would do it and require payment at completion how much would that cost?
In case you need to see the device just google Atmoblue.
Thanks again everyone.

There is pretty much a 99.9% chance that you won't find anyone to do this for you. The best you can hope for is someone might give you some links to guides showing how to decompile and edit apk files. What you would modify in the apk file to achieve your purposes would require you doing your own research to figure it out. You can ask further questions along the way about the things that you don't understand, but there are no guarantees that you will get any useful answers.
In other words, be prepared to dig in and do the work yourself, if you really want to accomplish this feat. If not, get used to dealing with the app the way it is.

Yea, i started researching the day I posted this. I've been reading and reading and reading. Ive gotten to the point where I now have access to the battery percentage. Currently, trying to figure out the characteristics in the device itself and the values needed to change each of the modes. Also, it looks like the app from the company is pretty much useless to try to use. Based on the code (from what I can understand after 2 days of research and starting off with 0 coding knowledge) the app has to use wechat to basically be able to access a server and then the server sends it back to the phone then the device. Meaning I can't just look in the code for what values I need, unless I was able to actually sign into wechat and record the log. Which I can't do since I don't have access to wechat.
So now I'm currently looking up how to write code in the programs I've found to write it and create a ui. Ive at least figured out uuids and figured out how to call up the battery percentage now. Only like 3 more settings to go! Wish me luck lol
