ADW.Launcher! Seems to be the best home replacement app...

I just got the ADW.Launcher and it has been the best home replacement app so far.
You have the nexus one like app drawer and shortcut dock, and you can adjust the speed the pages flick, page bounce back (like the iphone) and set the number of pages you want to have.
Fully supports all widgets, and really fast (no lag at all like open home or a home)
the best thing is i've used my x10 for 5 hours straight and its only gone down to 95% battery left.
give it a try!

Am using it. Love the Sense Preview, although it could be less choppy (but they fixed most of that in the latest version). Also like the dock bar, and applications drawer.

it great, however, before on one of main screen I had option to turn wifi, bluetooth, phone and gps on the fly by tapping on it. Now after I installed ADW, it is gone, does anybody know how to get it back or something alternative?

Yeah, it should be a widget. I believe it is called quick settings.

Easily the best homescreen replacements. Tried a few Home++ for example and this one is a keeper... havent tried GDE yet....maybe in a while but for now ill stick with this

where can i get this?

[Q] Notification Lights

Out of interest (might be upgrading to NS end of the month) as there aren't any notification lights how difficult (or even possible) would it be to utilise the home, menu, search etc lights to act as notification lights, so that say a text message came while on silent on your desk it could flash them in a KITT type sequence?

I believe this has been discussed before and the answer, if I remember correctly, was that using the capacitive buttons would be either extremely difficult or completely impossible. I could be wrong, but that is what i remember.

The feature you are referring to is called backlight notifications, or BLN for short. There is an app on the market for it. However, to use that feature, you have to have a kernel that supports BLN. As far as I know, there are currently no kernels for the nexus s which has it. Devices that I am aware of that has supported kernels are the Samsung Captivate as well as the Vibrant. Your only other solution is an app on the market called NoLED, which displays notification icons on your screen.

NoLED works pretty well. There are things about it I'd change a little. Icons for one. I'd definitely change the text icon to something that doesn't look like email icon... Color swatches instead of color sliders for those of us that aren't good with choosing crayons.

So I take it it would be a bit of a nightmare implementing this into custom kernels?

It probably is, but its not impossible. The development section for the nexus is still new and will grow. So who knows.

[APP] / [HOW TO] Touch Key Lights

Okay, Touch key lights too bright on your G2X? Two ways to fix this... First, the app, which is easiest for most people:
-------------
(note: This is NOT my app. Just sharing it with you guys)
LG Optimus 2x touch key lights
Little tool for LG Optimus 2x & G2x phones only that allows the user to change the touch key lights brightness levels. The desired brightness level can then be set up on startup.
Root access is not needed except for the new G2x Gingerbread update.
Warning, this application is not and will not be compatible with touch key notifications mechanisms.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.guenmat.android.optimus2x
-----------
The other is the TECHIE way... by changing the value directly! You can change the touch key brightness FROM THE SHELL with the following command:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/star_touch_led/wled
.
Possible values are 1-20, where 20 is the brightest. Though honestly 15-20 all looked the same to me. You can set higher, but I'm not sure if it is safe for your touch keys. 0 would be OFF.
Now, you can type that in through adb shell, but you'd lose it when you reboot. So, if you have a Rom that supports init.d scripts, you can add it at the end of one of the scripts in /system/etc/init.d.
If you don't have init.d scripts, you can also use TASKER with the LOCAL EXECUTE plugin. If you do, make sure to put a ! in front of the command so it executes as root.
I know, sparse, but I had to figure this out on my own and now you don't.

here is an app that does the same thing as the one you said PLUS it makes your 4 touch led lights blink when you have a missed called, mms, and gmail (hello notification lights)
https://market.android.com/details?...2xtouchlednotifications&feature=search_result
you dont need root access for froyo but you need it for GB

Interesting, is there a similar app that makes it so the lights are always on (dimmed, of course)?

This has been out for a while. The Custom Roms have this built in at a kernel level so it doesn't always run in the background and drain your batteries like a mofo.

well i haven't found it for weapon g2x if it has it on the kernel :/ , so i am using that app, is also great for someone that is running a stock gb rooted, like the 2.3.4 that is running arround

Actually, the ONLY custom Rom I've noticed that had anything close was MIUI (which you're using). In MIUI, the touchkey brightness was linked to screen brightness, all the way down to the lowest setting where it would be off. Nice, but not helpful to those of us who don't like the rest of the bugs present in MIUI. Also, I haven't seen any battery drain from this...

Good to have choices. I tried that one first. I didn't see the option to just change brightness, and I don't really want the notifications. I guess which one you choose depends on what you need.

Thanks. Ill try them both. I like the flashing buttons for notification option
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

i like this app!

If you're using a stock rom you can always go into LG's hidden menu and adjust the touch LED brightness. Using your dial pad dial 1809#*999# and it will open the hidden menu. From there select Device Test and then scroll all the way down and select Touch LED Brightness. Adjust the slider and you're good to go. You can do this whether or not you're rooted. The only catch is that it resets when you reboot the phone so you have to do it again with each reboot.

anyone have the led notification app working on weapon rom? I tried installing it and just get a force close.

Op updated with a method to do this WITHOUT an app. I know, I'm spoiling it for those SELLING apps to do just this, but hey... whatchagonnado.

Super useful to use tasker for this, thanks so much.

[Q] Quick toggle settings app?

I was wondering if there is an app that allows you to create system settings profiles for 1 click set...
Something like:
Profile:
Office
WiFi-on
Bluetooth-off
GPS-off
Driving
WiFi-off
Bluetooth-on
GPS-on
Home
WiFi-on
Bluetooth-off
GPS-off
Etc...

This is a shot in the dark here because I've never used it, and have deleted it from my ROM, but there is a widget that comes with the stock ROM called the Profile widget.... Maybe that is what it is for?
If that's not it, there must be something in the market or perhaps elsewhere in the ROM?

I've tried the profiles widget, it just changes your sound profile...
I've checked the market, however I might not be using the right search criteria...

Ah ok, I found an app in the market called Quick Profiles... Maybe that will work for ya? Other than that, I'm not sure.

I think I remember that the Epic 4G had a similar feature, where you could turn on different modes that would auto-switch you to different homescreens that you could customize for the situation (work, home, school etc.) It's probably been retained in the latest versions of Touchwiz, as it seemed pretty cool.
I would imagine there's a widget on the market somewhere with what youre looking for. if not, you could just use extended controls so as to quickly change all your settings, since you can customized its widget to control virtually anything.

Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide_Lite

So i just found that apparently, 2.3 introduced a security feature that blocks apps and widget from turning on the GPS. i am not pleased witht his, as it makes extended controls and anti theft apps (Lookout, Seekdroid etc.) far less useful. bad move, Google. Why u remove features?

I found that the app o installed does not allow to toggle GPS, must be due to that 'feature'

[Q] Good Missed It! Alternative?

I'm looking for a highly configurable, minimalistic missed call/text/email notification center to use in conjunction with WidgetLocker. I've run the gamut by now. Missed It! is pretty good, but still not quite as tweakable as I'd like. Ideally, it'd be terrific if the notifications hid when there were no missed calls/texts, and appeared only when needed.
Anyone have a good alternative?
Thanks.

Thanks for the recommendation. I've tried Noled with Widgetlocker and found it just doesn't work, but perhaps I've misconfigured it. Thoughts?

Hi! Just like you, I got Missed It! so that I could properly combine it with WidgetLocker... and if I understand correctly what you want, Missed It! does have it: in Settings -> Output format, uncheck "Always show output".

Interesting. I'll give that a shot. "Always show output" isn't exactly the most self-explanatory menu item...

Certain things don't work correctly with a non-standard lockscreen. I use Phonelocator Pro and it acts as a manager using the internal Android lockscreen but NOLed still does not work correctly with it. The developer confirmed this in his thread.

I thought phone locator was an app to know the location of a phone, and not a lockscreen? In any event noLed works with golocker. Which lockscreen are you using?

In order to prevent the app from being disabled, it acts as a "device administrator." It uses the default Android Lockscreen still but the dev. said it was no-go no noLED. Perhaps he didn't understand just how Phonelocator modifies default behavior, but regardless that was his answer.
