Nexus Torch

I have problems trying to get Nexus Torch to work. I just rooted my Nexus one, but for some reason when I try to run Nexus Torch the screen just goes black with "su request" at the top. Not sure why.

Just a thought, on the HTC Hero this was fixed:
Menu > Applications > Development > Tick USB Debugging

It didn't work.

did you install the superuser application...?

Does it give you buttons at the bottom, like "always allow"?

Doesn't this belong in the apps section? I know the nexus forum here is HUGE but WOW.

I fixed it :] just rerooted my N1.

For anyone else, I found that fixing apk uid mismatches solved the problem too.

Nexus One Torch
I was wondering if there is anyway to keep nexus one torch running while launching the camera app? The reason being is because i want to be able to record video with the flash on

I just tested it...if you turn on the torch and then hit home, the light stays on, leaving you free to go about your business with any other app with the flash on. When you are done, go back to N1 torch and turn it off.

Mine goes off everytime I hit home, I tried using the hold down home shortcut to get to camera too and it shut off as soon as the app opened. It may be possible to get the dev of the N1 Torch app to add run in background so that you could do this. I didn't even think about using it with the camcorder but that would be cool.

You may want to check if you have the latest version of Nexus One Torch. The guy updates pretty frequently. A separate question: has anyone had trouble with the LED burning out? Ever? After extended use? My fear is it's not suited for use like this.

my old Blackberry Curve's LED burned out after using the built in camera app to leave the LED on a couple of times.

I was thinkin bout that, but i noticed that motorola launched a torch app for the droid so i figured they thought it wouldnt. Which gave me some confidence in ours.

Ok, I did need to update the app and it does run in the background now even with Camera running, it lights things ok, but not too far, I uploaded 2 videos to youtube real quick to show what it looks like, they're still processing so they should work soon, here's the links.
With Torch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXgKXja486M
Without Torch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diLlQqANUWg

yup that update did the trick. thank you mr. developer

is there any non-root alternative to this, i really dont want to root my 530 dollar phone.

Not yet blueman, but Motorola got one out there for the Droid so I'm sure it's possible for the Nexus also.

Mkay thanks, fingers crossed

I had a similar problem; rerooted without running the Cyanogen mod. After doing so, the N1 Torch app starts, but a message is displayed at the bottom of the screen stating "Cannot access LED device, sorry!"
Although it appears that the phone is rooted correct, I am guessing there was a problem in the process. Multiple reroots have not solved the problem...
...anyone have any clues.

GOTO lock

any1 using this locker? i got some Q..
y i cant chnage wallpaper on my lock screen.
n y no weather info on my lockscreen?
is there a way to remove our x10 default locker?

I really don't understand all of your writing, but anyway:
I used goto several weeks but replaced it by the latest lockbot pro.
I doubt you can delete the original lock screen, as it is used for more running apps on your phone. I read somewhere if you delete the lock screen and reboot you can t enter your pin anymore, as this is the same lock you see.
Goto and lockbot both over write the original lock screen after one time showing the original once. It is in both apps an option which you can check.
In the latest goto you can change background, but not directly from the lock screen. They made a separate app, goto setup I believe its called. You can find it in your program list. There you can change background and select apps for your shortcut.
Hope this will help you.

ya i changed my background under the goto settings.. but still my desired wallpaper is not appearing.

wallpaper
I have the same problem. But it is only in 1.15 version. On v. 1.12 it was OK, until they didnt separate app and settings.

i had the same problem just try un-installing the app and re-install i still can't get the weather to work but i can confirm that the wallpaper works

well, I have to come back at my statement. I just tested now for over a day goto 1.31 and it is still working very well....of course I write this to early but i did not see the original lockscreen anymore but the only thing is your notificationbar can't sroll down anymore after a while. No idea what is the cause of that as it works in the beginning. For me no problem as I don't use it anyway...but keep that in mind when you test it...
1.31 is quicker with unlocking and quicker with opening your shortcuts which you can put in in "goto settings" (different app in your drawer)
Also changing background went well, they finally made it you can resize your wallpaper on your phone so you can just use any picture on your sd card as long it is bigger than 480x854 for great resolution. I have to admit I used google to get it on my phone. I will buy it if it works for over a week. With lockscreens I just want to test it first before purchase as so far nothing worked on the x10 without problems.
Hopefully this one does. So far so good....
Here a screenshot:

wallpaper
I am trying whole day with pics of any resolution and no succes. Help.

i tested some older version before but deinstalled it because i had the feeling it drained battery real fast ...

I've got 1.33, can't really change wallpapers, lock wise its doing a gud job so far.. gonna work on it later!!

Even though i taught I never use the notification bar, it s rather annoying you can't drag it down. My bar is now full of installed signs from updated apps from the market and I can't erase them because of goto... Really shame as lock wise it worked perfect. How is it with version 1.33? does your notification bar keeps working for over an hour?? It stated in the changelog they solved it, but they said that before...
Also it is impossible to get your phone out of airplane mode! so I delete it now and wait for a lock screen app which will work fully on our phone...
@Mobzter: I send you a pm

Notification bar seems to be working fine here.. so far
As for airplane mode.. I think I understand what ya getting at.. my temp solution is using power button to turn screen of that way you can turn plane mode off after you unlock.. although need to do both swipes this way!
Sent from my rooted 026 X10i using swype via Xda

thanks, I am dying to test it
Edit: found it with google!, will test it now!
Edit2:
Notification bar seems to be working. I am curious if it still works tomorrow. V1.31 stopped working after a few hours...
Background change is going well as well (use the program Goto Settings from your launcher to set a different background)
Will test it for a few days and report again. There must be a lock screen replacement out there working for our phone without trouble!
Edit3: after lots of tests I can confirm the notification bar issue is solved, version 1.33 works good on my x10!
Cheers,
Arnold

I have v1.33 as well. I love how you can prevent the volume and camera keys from waking the phone! That was my biggest issue with these lock replacements. You can also disable the home key from "skipping" the lockscreen. Weather isn't showing and haven't tried changing wallpapers yet. For me, the lockscreen is quite quick, and I haven't seen the original lockscreen yet. I haven't noticed any battery drain, so looks like the phone is sleeping properly. Looks like GOTO is getting it right!

My weather is working, I also do believe they have it right this time...indeed a relieve you can disable the volume and camera keys to unlock...

My background wouldn't change.. Ive edited mine.. I shall post a pic sumtym soon.. prob with some of my theme in a topic.. keep a look out!!

You have an extra app in your launcher called: GOTO SETTINGS
There you can change wallpaper, set your shortcuts, enter your name and lock the volume and camera button for waking up.

n there's nothing in there to do with weather.. unless you're apk is special? lol

T-Mobile OTA Update Bug (Android 2.3.4, Software 1.45.531.1) Affects Lockscreen

Just discovered a very annoying bug with this new OTA update. I've had it for about an hour, and everything else has been good except for this.
With the lockscreen, my first shortcut icon (Phone Dialer) suddenly disappeared. I have no clue how to get it back.
When I try to re-assign it as a shortcut, it doesn't appear on the shortcuts menu.
I'm 1,000% positive that I did not erase the dialer icon in the lockscreen edit menu.
Anyways, this is just a heads up for some of you TmoUSA people who just got the OTA update.
And if anybody has any suggestions on how to prevent/fix this, or get back my phone dialer shortcut, I'd really appreciate it.

I got the phone dialer and it did not disappear from lock screen after the update.

I think this may be an isolated incident. But wow none the less. I would suggest a wipe brother.

Wow, that sucks to know that it's just me
Not that I would wish this problem on any of you, just kinda bothers me because I factory-resetted just yesterday

It's not just you. I still have the phone on my first button of the lock screen, but if I go to edit the lockscreen buttons, the first one is now blank, and Phone is not an option in the list of available apps to assign.
As long as I don't change it, it's good...

The EVO 3D had this problem with 2.3.3 at launch. HTC sent out a minor update to fix. Expect a minor update in the near future.

I wonder if I should just install a phone dialer app from the market and see if that can be a workaround.
What do you guys think?

If you save any changes from that screen you'll lose the icon.

Really, yikes. I think I like the 4 I have there now so I'll leave it alone for the time being.
1st - Web
2nd - Phone
3rd - Gmail
4th - Messages

With all these issues I'm seeing I think ima just stick to leedroid or stock rooted. I'm playing around on my myTouch before I sale it.

I just got the update and yes, while I still have the Phone icon on my lockscreen, if I go to the Settings page for the screen the position is blank and "Phone" isn't an option in the list of programs to launch.
It looks like birgertime's work-around may be what you need, until HTC (hopefully) releases a fix for this.
In the mean time, I'm not going to change my lockscreen icons (not that I frequently do anyway).

Not just you. Same thing happened to me. Just got the update today.

i had the same issue, the phone (dialer) missing from menu and lock screen. I downloaded the shortcut from the link above and it worked. Thanx for the shortcut.

I just got the update and I don't have any issues with my lock screen. maybe try to change in your lock screen htc gives us like 6 to choose from 'm using the 1 that shows status updates from facebook and such.
also my wifi is working a lot better I still lose signal when I grip it in landscape mode but it doesn't lose signal completely and I can still use wi-fi even in landscape mode holding it with both hands

The workaround works great! Thanks for the help, everybody.

I was just reading this thread when I noticed that I had the same bug after changing the lockscreen icons. Will flashing a ROM over the update help?

Widgetlocker problem

Hi,
Since two days I'm a happy and proud Note owner, but there's one thing, that makes me really go crazy:
I installed the program "Widgetlocker", because the standard lockscreen is quite broing. It actually works quite good, but sometimes the standard lockscreen still apears. Not instead of the widgetlocker, but additional. So I always have to unlock two lockscreens.
Does anybody else has got this problem? And how can I fix it?
I tried to find a solution in different forums and in the program configuration, without sucess!
Thanks for help!
Edit: The error apears mostly when there's a pop-up (gtalk e.g.) or when I plug in the charger....

I turned on root helper and home helper in settings, that fixed it for me. I'm on Stock Rooted XXKK9 if that helps.

My widgetlocker works fine. Been using it since day 1. Hmm.. Sorry. Not sure how to help.

chrcad,
Your problem seems related to the fact that Android is not having enough memory left ans simply closes "useless" apps and considers that WL is part of them. To prevent that to happen, simply check in advanced settings the "refuse to suspend WL" box and Android will look another application than WL to close

Thanks @ everybody for the help, but unhappily it's still not working properly.
The problem always apperas, when the phone's sleeping and a gTalk message comes in.... but ONLY, when the gTalk ppop-up is activated......
Any (more) idea?

you are leaving it running all the time aren't you?

I use to have the same problem, very rarely but it was still annoying. I have put a lock on widgetlocker so if I ever close all programs, widgetlocker is still running. It's not happened since but it's only been a few days so I'll see.

Some pop-ups cause this if they're designed to appear underneath the stock lockscreen rather than dismiss it.
For now:
1) Easy Wake Mode disables the system lockscreen
2) WL Settings > Long-press volume down for Experimental > Aggressive Dismiss stock lockscreen. This should work, but it's not well tested yet so it's off by default.

Split screen view option missing from menu

Updated to Pie. The split screen option is not in the menu no matter what app I try it with. I've checked every place I could think of in Good Lock, Nova Launcher & Samsung settings & can't find anything that would be preventing it. I even tried under Samsung Launcher & had the same result. If anyone has any ideas, please share.

If you have a specific app that you need to use in Multu-window with YouTube, you can also use the apps edge panel to open the pair simultaneously.

I tried a few things but couldn't replicate what you are experiencing. Are you running Good Lock? I know it has a feature that modifies multi window, but I don't know if it would cause the issue you have.
Did you take the ota directly from the carrier? Or did you flash the new pie update? Mine came from the carrier last Thursday. Today, I backed up everything and did a factory reset and it feels like it's running smoother. Maybe that could fix your issue.

Turns out it was a bug in Good Lock's Multistar. They pushed an update last night that fixed the problem for me. Thanks to all for trying to help.
