nevermind it works auto brightness needs to be off
now there is absolutely no need for power control widget!
heres my own addition. the built-in stand! and yes it works on a flat table too...

Nice! Thanks for the tips!
Don't know why I hadn't come across the removing startup and shutdown sounds before! Some nice tips in there. Thanks for compiling!
Wow
Thank you for this, I've had my Cappy since October and have been messing with kernels, modems, and Roms since day one, and there were still a few things to learn from here.
wonderful set of tips! glad i came across your thread! the brightness thing had been messing with my mind, since i had been unknowingly doing that the whole time. i thought it was just a bug in the programing!
Does anyone know how to make the modded volume settings (in svc menu) stick on reboot?
Thanks!
i would love to know that too!
good info I've been looking for a list like this. Thanks.
great tips. thx
really good post thanks!

Excellent work zeeshee !
Nice job there, Zeeshan...Downloading now
Update:
Works like a charm.
Does seem to be quicker...Will wait for matrix to benchmark it.
Calculator still in expert
No issues yet
image is corrupted when flashing via USB
and doesnt get a certificate when flashing from SD
Did you do USPL?? I doubt it. If then re-download.
BTW: there is no Radio included in this *.nbh!
retried with the USPL and the roms is working fine.
Looks a lot better and the tekst is more clear than the original.
But did u realy have to put that bootlogo in it?
I will change the boot logo as may ppl requested for this
NICEEEEEEEEEE
Thank you I will give a try! Thank you!
PS: on my previous comment on the connection manager, sorry yes it is there my mistake, although there is no option to turn off the GPRS (Edge) connection! (there is only WIFI, Bluetooth and Phone).
Also do you think you can solve this other small issue? "when I receive a sms and i am still in the inbox, in the home screen the vox indicates me like I still have to read the sms (new sms) while I have already read it because i was in the inbox chatting when I received it! can you correct this? thanks"

How to turn off bold font i.e. in right softkey menu or in contact list? (Or - how to change the whole phone font?) I don't have time to search for responsible registry key
And thanks for your ROM, I'm a huge fan
Good work zeeshee, keep it up!
Any chance of making 4x4 icon grid in the start menu? 4x3 still looks better than 3x3 in the original ROM, but 4x4 would fit there perfectly.
Nice work, Zeeshan. Thanks a ton!
Got installed last night. I think, in the first instance, the performance of this ROM is really better than any of the previous ROMs, especially in terms of RAM consumption. Yet to explore more abt the same. Will give more feedback after that...
Hello two issues:
- the black bar is back again, like in the first release i.e. http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/245/screen003ao2.png
- could you remove the sound when you make a call or use the trick of Dr. Martin Gonzo? I think the previous release hadnt this owful sound when you call someone, thanks!

I don't have the black bar problem this time! I wonder how you people get it. In fact, I had straightaway switched to another background, without sliding panel. May be thats why I didn't realize.
I am using the "slide media" theme + SmartToolkit RC09 and I have the black bar problem!

Hey, I changed my homescreen back to Sliding Panel. I too have whatever you have mentioned on my homescreen, but I am not getting the black bar.
Anyway, there is a work around, if you are still facing the problem, which is as follows:
You will have to edit the following two files in windows folder:
CHome_240x320.cpr
CHome_320x240.cpr
Copy the same to your pc and open with notepad. The files are ReadOnly. So just remove the ReadOnly attributes for these files.
For CHome_240x320.cpr file,
Change the "Height" property for Image element to 313 (in Line no. 2)
Similary, for CHome_320x240.cpr file,
Change the "Height" property for Image element to 233 (in Line no. 2)
Save the files and copy back to the windows folder using Resco or Total Commander. And Soft-reset. You are done.
Hi!
I have checked this files and the value is already the right one!!
See below, I am not joking I have the black bar...
PS: there is a way to show more calendar events on the homescreen? thanks

MMM I wil like to try that !
is safe i mean sometimes doesn't get stuck or someting ? im scare to lock the phone and have to do a hard reset lol
(lets ask some of this awesome guys if they can make something for that ().
Maybe you may use software "PocketShield" (more info you may find here). This software is very good for complete locking solution. I use it and I'm satisfied with it. But it isn't free. But when you create new skin for this software you may win a licence.

Check it. I have been using S2U2 for a while. It does exactly what you want. It is a little tricky to get setup if you don't go through all of the settings and basically turn off everything.
What I did was turn off every function of S2U2. Then went back and changed my background pic for it, TURNED ON SLIDE TO ANSWER (full screen), added weather to the bottom corner and Voila! It worked. Just spend the 10 min or so setting it up correctly for yourself the 1st time and you'll be pleased I'm sure. Just give it another try.
I would love to have this as an app! It would look so awesome

fOUND THIS :
iCaller is a pocket pc software which extends system default Incoming Call screen with full-sized pictures, additional contact information and fully customized interface.
Features:
- Lightweight
- Expands default incoming call screen without affecting its behavior
- Full-sized contact picture
- Pictures can be stored on a Storage Card or in Pocket Outlook database
- Picture can vary for the same contact depending on its phone number (just name the picture with a number, e.g. 5554433.jpg)
- Customized interface based on HTML
Instructions:
- Unpack contents of the archive in a folder on your device, e.g. \Program Files\iCaller (do not forget to copy zlibce.dll too!)
- Check settings.ini – it is configured for English version of Windows Mobile OS, you may need to replace sSysCallerWndTitle option from ‘Phone – Incoming…’ to your localized name of system default Incoming Call window

I'll be reviewing this app on the BoB Only show for XDATV. Look forward to it for Tuesday or Thursday!

OMG, this is exactly the app i was looking for.
I had the idea of such an app for months!
Thanks for it!
the cat ran across the road?!
wow! m already starting to like this app,
xD
pretty cool,i've been looking for somthing like this.
Suggestions
This is a great great app and a really good idea.. but I wanna give you some suggestions. The GUI is messy and doesn't properly use space.
On the very top is the Clipboard entry area (this should be at the bottom as its not usually used) it occupies immediately 1/2 of the screen with a large area that is totally wasted. Then, if there are contents on the clipboard they are not displayed nicely in the window (really ugly).
Then because of large unused area for the clipboard, now the Custom entry are is hidden when the keyboard is pulled-up (which by the way should pop-up immediately and it doesn't). Then if I want to add an icon, that menu selection is at the very bottom, so I have to close the keyboard to get there and, that menu doesn't have icon previews, just bullets (it needs icon previews as like the PICK ICON menu item). Finally the NOTE CUSTOM MESSAGE is at the very bottom (worse place), needs to be at the top.
All this makes a single entry an endless effort of way too many clicks to get anything done. I'm on a 7" Galaxy Tab. Look at the screenshots and get inspired
Finally, for this app to make ANY SENSE, it needs to be AS EASY TO ACCESS AS THE NOTES IT CREATES!!!!!!!!!! So, make it run as a hidden notification so it can be pulled down from the taskbar and activated (like the app Clipper - Clipboard manager for example.. you can check it out on the market if you are not sure what I mean)
Really nice app though. I want to love it.. you just need to make it right now
I've already added some features to the program, including the short cut you suggested, just my keystore is 100+ miles away on my desktop so I cant yet publish the update (its been sitting around for over a month).
I have also updated the gui, it shows only what is relevant at a given moment and keyboard no longer poses an issue on my nexus s, literally the app has everything you want (its just not published), i'm working on it

havok123, thanks for the feedback, this is great news! I didn't mean at all to be harsh or overly criticizing.. think your app is truly fantastic and therefor I just would like it you to get it perfect! I'm happy you decided to learn Java just to program this... totally worth it!
When you have an update for the or if you want me to help you beta test/trouble shoot an updated version, post the info here on the thread or PM me. Id love to help you if I can.
Keep up the great work and when its perfect make a paid version. It will be worth it and I think many people would buy it. You can definitely count me in and your work should be rewarded!
Just uploaded update finally.
Updated to 3.0
Changelog:
What's in this version:
N Clip Shortcut
Edit notifications on click
Updated GUI
Bug fixes
Great update, interface much more workable & cleaner.
One suggestion that immediately comes 2mind is, get rid of the sticky app icon that shows up on taskbar when selecting the enable shortcut option. No ned & cluttery. IfU add a note without chooding custom icon, now there are DOUBLE app icons on the taskbar being displayed one of which is NOT a note.. very confusing and unecessary.
If the enable shortcut opion is chosen, we know its there in the pulldown menu already, thats enough &keeps taskbar cleaner for actual notifications only
going to get on it over christmas break xD

Installed the update. Still not working, only now it is worse than before.
It still wouldn't allow me to switch apps, it still didn't launch on phone boot up, but now the update prevented me from being able to install apps from the Amazon App Store. I'd hit the install button after the app had downloaded, but it wouldn't register the button press. I could hit the cancel button though just fine. Play Market apps installed just fine. As soon as I Force Stop Fast5, I cold install apps from Amazon just fine.
Very weird. It works perfectly on my device (SGS2) and my friends devices and all emulator devices (2.1+) and i do not get other complains... what's going on?
Have you installed custom rom or something? Do you see all 5 icons? After pressing nothing happens? Or an error?
I would understand if you'd get some errors, but if it's not booting with the device? There is no way it won't boot at normal device configuration...
Thank you for you cooperation!
Have a look...:
see it in action
I think it's isolated issue but I'll try to fix it for you if you'd like to use this app . Wain for report (if you sent it)
Works fine for me. Absolutely perfect!
its a simple task switcher. didn't see any task "manager" function in app(where we able to kill tasks). or it will be available in the future updates?

Yep it's a switcher. Will change topic name, sorry. But it works fine for you, right?
It works now on ICS too. There should be a new version active on the market within 1 hour (as always). There was one issue. Fixed.
I will test it. Great job
Edit: "error process buy" say my market
Defy > Defy+
Sorry my bad english
Error process buy? Lol... it's free. Did you try do it from the PC? Market kinda buggy thing. Thanks!
I had no problems with installation nor application so does my friends .
Updated version has been released. Should be working fine for everyone, regardless of Android version (2.1 +).
Try it
the update fixed task-clicking on ICS
- could you please add #111111 as an background color option? that's the color used by android for notification backgrounds
- when opening notification area the icons reorder after like 1-2 seconds. I guess that's because the app isn't running in bg permanently but it's still quite annoying, especially when you're just about to hit one of the icons and then it gets replaced with a adifferent one
- is it possible to have more than 5 apps? (yeah yeah, then the name wouldn't make sense anymore, but...) there's so much whitespace between the icons, it'd well fit 7 of them
Sure. No problem. Download an updated version (should appear on the market within one hour) and tell me if you'd like something more. Everyone else too . I'll see what i can do.
As for 7 icons instead of standard 5 on really large screens: could you please send me an email or post me here if you don't mind everyone looking how do it looks on your screen?
Thanks!
thanks for adding ICS color.
for large screen: just turn your phone 90° to widescreen and you can see it for yourself
any idea about the slow updating?
Check out the newest update (v 1.08). Tick a checkbox in preferences, restart an app and see if that fits your needs . As for more than 5 icons - i'll figure it out if you want to
Cheers!
seems good so far. will report back after some more usetime when it's got a bit more to do than show low-memory-apps what does the checkbox do? start a persistant service?
could you please close the notification bar when selecting an app? always makes me think the click wasn't registered.
No, it just shortens update time . Don't worry if it works right . As for notification: will put an option to do so shortly.
Cheers!
This app blocks the 3rd Party App Install on my device (Motorola Defy). You can still press the cancel button, but the install button has no function.
Tested it on a custom CM7 Version and on a Official CM7 Version(with fullwipe).
Hi All,
Little app for PoGo alerts on MiBand (and any fitness tracker!)
Basically - it works when the app is running - it allows me to use my Mi Band/BIP like a PoGo+ as well as trying its best to help with the battery saver mode (makes it dimmer and more black!)
The idea is that every time the app vibrates the Band does too, as long as it's allowed in the fitness tracker app. Works for MiBand and for Amazfit Bip in my testing, I assume it works for all smartbands that allow the user to choose apps.
You can choose the features in the app and they will automagically start as long as the 'App Active' button is set to 'ON'.
Optional features are:
* Simulate Go+
* Screen dim when facedown
* Screen dim when upside down
* Screen dim when proximity sensor covered
* Screen dim for both of the above
* Screen timeout set by app screen, resets to previous whe PoGo closes
I'm testing disabling the actual phone screen backlight/LEDs without root but I don't think it's possible (PoGo app closes). Still though, it should be more efficient than PoGo battery saver mode alone.
New install instructions (APK no. 65)
To make sure the app functions correctly you'll need to do the following in the given order.
Install app
Your phone should ask you for some permissions (e.g. draw over over apps)
Accept all the permissions and accessibilty options, but press NO to the 'learn how to enable read logs'
You'll need to open up ADB and allow READ_LOGS to use the GoPlus functionality.
Use the following ADB commands:
adb shell pm grant stoobacca.apps android.permission.READ_LOGS
adb shell am force-stop stoobacca.apps
Go to accessibilty settings and make sure the app is set to ON
Hopefully when you open the app all will work!

I'll see if I can update for this. Just uploaded a new one which SHOULD make the black screen big enough for all phones
I've updated - I think for all questions people have sent.
My XDA doesn't show any responses to PM's so no idea if anyone has heard from me.
Latest rev. 26 should be OK.
Let me know!
Thank you for your work!
But there some bugs in new version:
1) black rectangle still not fully cover 6" screen
2) screen timeout setting not saved: I set 60, - reopen your app and there again 30
3) when I open pokemon go, then close it and look at display setting (at android menu) I see there is no one radio button selected so there maybe some bugged value set.
4) some of your app menu settings caption have 3 lines and it trimmed at end (nexus 6)
Hey man,
Thanks!
I think I broke some stuff in the most recent version. Will upload a new apk later.
1) The rectangle thing I'm working on.
2) I have set it to display the set variable. It will default to 30 if you force close the app. Might also have a problem if your phone can't support more than 30 (that's why it defaults)
3) I might have fixed this. Could you give me more info - maybe a screenshot?
4) I think I fixed the text display issue, let me know with the new apk. (also screenshot if you can)
Glad you like my app!

Today i testing version 3.5
+ Timeout option in your app now saves fine. And change phone screen timeout to this value when PoGo opens;
But i think this option is useless, what is the point to set not maximum timeout? It needed only if we cant figure out device's maximum screen timeout.
- Screen timeout does not resets to previous when PoGo hides (In version 2.0 it always resets to 1 min.)
If it difficult to restore previous value i wish to have option to reset it to 30 seconds
- Please add version of your app to top of settings page
- Some text layout bugs:

hi and thx for the app but unfortunately it didn't work.
i have installed your apps, app active and simulate go plus and allowed notification from your app on mi band and tools but doesn't work.
is there anything else to do ?
many thx
edit 1 : turn on accessibilty, app is starting when launching pokemon go but don't get any notification on mi band
i have galaxy S7 edge
Ask author to upload previous version ---> 2.0
I use it, works fine.
try the new version 3.8 , doesn't work.
what is the parameters i have to do in apps and mi band ?
thx
Apparently a lot of time since the last comment, but I feel lucky today.
A dumb question: with this app, can I fully simulate a PoGo+ bracelet or it only receive vibrations from the app?
Is it still working?
dont think so, i couldnt get it to work
I am confused as to how this app works. I believe I have everything set up, it has accessibility access, but I can't seem to get it to work. Could you possibly make us first start/set-up guide? (Moto E4)
Does it still work?
I can look at updating if people are still interested..
Hi All,
Sorry I've not been at all active on this forum..
I've seen people asking if this still works (sorry some were a very long time ago)!
I know it's not really useful now as unfortunately we can't go outside.. but if I can dig out my old files and get this working, would anyone be interested?
I can't guarantee it as I don't play PoGo anymore. But if people are interested, I'll see if I can get some time to try and get it working again.
Cheers, and stay safe!

I would really be interested in this. Don't know if you had any responses in pm.
I second that.
I would be very interested into a new version!
Alright then peeps, I've tracked down a version I backed up so I'll take a look see.
Give me some time and i'll try to get a new version. If you could post any issues here it will help me with what to fix.. it might be all of it so no worries if the lists are long!
