Android Development is not for Questions or Problems
Please Post in the Correct Forums

sorry I thought you could post questions for developers here...
are you able to move this to the general forum for me so I don't create yet another new post there then get flamed for creating duplicate posts in two forums..

Also the phone fully charged chime that wakes me up at night.

If your phone is on silent, the animation will still play, but without sound. If you don't want to put your phone into silent to reboot, the other option is to remove the files /system/etc/PowerOn.wav and /system/etc/PowerOn.snd (although I think only the .wav plays)

This can be fixed then so you don't get the sound or popup notification

how do you fix the fully charged sound?

my phone will NOT let me edit, delete or rename those sound files... so how do you just delete them like you say?

you need r/w access...if you are using a root file explorer on your phone, select that option....in adb just mount as r/w

You have to edit a few of the framework files. I know it can be done because the Fascinate has the same thing. We just need to find the appropriate edit(s) and implement them.

I just have the file explore that came preinstalled on the phone.. what other software would I need to gain this access?

Here is how you would do it via adb:

adb reboot

if you dont want to use a terminal...then root explorer (like $5 in market) is an invaluable tool for root users...that and titanium backup are must buys imo
but i think there are other free su ones too, just dont know them off hand

how do you use the adb terminal?
and for titanium backup.. what does that allow you to backup/restore?

you need to install the android sdk on your computer....vital for all root users anyway
tibu allows you to back up your apps with app data...also vital for rom flashers

okay is there a step by step walkthrough available online about using all this sdk, where to download from, etc.?

Disable Battery Full / Disconnect Sound?

Is there a way to disable the "battery charged" or "battery full / unplug cable" sound? it wakes me up in the middle of the night, and i have to switch to vibrate now every night.

There is a way.
You need a rooted phone, root explorer. Get the file at
/system/media/audio/ui/
The filename is TW_Battery_caution.ogg.
Edit the file, eliminate the sound, replace the file on the phone, reboot.
No more annoying warning tone.
daverup thank you! The last two nights ive woken up to a middle of the night text that turned out to be my phone just letting me know its charged... wtf?
This is the first time I've used Root Exploter. I was able to copy the file to my SD card, and edit it to make it silent, but when I try and copy it or move it back, it just does nothing - I get no error message, and the file does not appear.
Will the missing file cause a problem when the phone fully charges?
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
needed to mount /system in rw
May be a stupid question... How do you edit this file to make it silent?
yes please a little more dumbed down step by step for us noobs out here.
Or if you jump (flash) to the leaked Froyo J16, you won't have to worry about that noise either. It drove me nuts and I was so glad to see that they changed that with the new Froyo release.

Can any one help with this? same file to edit on Froyo?
it still happens to me on Froyo, the official one.
I keep it on virbrate, and it still vibrates when charged which sometimes will wake me up.
At this point i might go to a custom rom just to disable this, but have the phone rooted, if someone can give instructions on how to disable the vibrate/sound/notification all together.

[Q] Help with a problem

My daughters Huawei Ideos U8150 has a cracked screen, you can not unlock the screen because the crack is right in the middle of where you slide the unlocker.
So the phone although can be used to receive calls, can not be accessed via the screen.
She has also managed to somehow set it to not unlock the screen when receiving a call(no idea how she did this).
So I have 0 access to the phone.
I have a program Lock_2.0.apk but can not just install it with ADB because her phone of course is NOT in development mode.
In the custom AmonRA recovery, I can enable USB, and ADB will see the phone as "recovery".
But if I try to install the app that turns off the screen unloocker it says "/sbin/sh: pm: not found".
All I need to do is install that app to remove the screen locker and the phone is useable again.
Any idea how to get it into development mode with adb? Or some other way?
Thanks.
Sorry to dissapoint you, I don't know. But I want to know how's the the phone? I want one to give it to a friend, is it good?
You can buy a used phone on ebay, i saw them cheap.

Screen is broken has a crack but its still useable im not buying her another one she has to learn to take care of her stuff.
But this problem is ridiculous its the screen lock that's causing the problem because you can still use the phone if it wasn't for screen lock.
There must be some way to install the no lock program.
Well, you can try to install a VNC server and access it via WiFi. Or you can try to make a factory reset... it will reset the lockscreen
And if you still interested:

The only thing I have to do is install that un lock program and it will be fine but this is easier said than done.
Well, you can try, in recovery, to push the no lock apk to the folder /system/app and reboot... may be you can be lucky enough

[Q&A] Infuse Toolkit

Hello, Sir.
I'm a long time lurker and not the first time poster. Known to troll occasionally.
Does this tool kit work for backing up ICS ROMs?
That's a fair question...there was one ICS tester who provided some valuable feedback and then fled the country.. (or the 50 states anyway)
I believe the ROM backup/restore will work as long as /system, /data, and /dbdata are the only places where ROM information resides.
The toolkit will not backup kernels or modems, but those are easily obtained and flashed from other sources...

not sure what you are asking...this is a zip file you run like installing a ROM
"It's a way to do many useful things in CWM recovery mode via a Touch-Enabled interface,"
>it is a tool used in CWM not within the ROM...
>if you go thru the program has a few questions or prompts to ensure you want to do what you are clicking...
>once you wipe and reload...and boot out of the program and cwm the program closes....does not del the program...it resides on your sd as a zip file like a ROM file until you go back into CWM to exe it again...
>the tool is not visible in the ROM...
make sense...?

Best way to figure out what the toolkit does is to run it from CWM and try it out. Make sure you run a config backup and a full Rom backup first thing. That way you can undo any changes you make. In the tweaks section there are also undo options for any init.d or build.prop tweaks you add.
If something seems unfamiliar (i.e. "what the heck is init.d?"), Google is your best friend.

The aroma tool kit resides on your internal sdcard, where you would place your downloaded program..just like the ROM or a cwm flashable. Flashing a ROM only wipe the system drive, not the 14gb internal drive where we usually store or flashable zips. Deleting it is simple: locate it and delete it. Every time you use it, you need to flash it in cwm.

Now I have a very serious question for the Tool Kit.
When I put my phone on vibrate, it does nothing for me. I even tried clipping the phone to the front of my pants. Nope, nothing, didn't feel a thing.
Is there any way of increasing the intensity of the vibration so that I can at least feel the vibration and have it do something for me?

Check the following first:
1. Go to settings-->sound, enable haptic feedback, change vibration intensity (one below), then turn off haptic feedback.
2. From same sound menu, check your vibrate setting - set to always or only in silent mode. If the latter then use the down volume button to move sound all the way to zero. When it reaches zero, your phone should vibrate.
If you don't feel a vibrate from this you may have a busted vibrator (Joe? Any suggestions here? )
Check the notify bar to see if your sound icon shows as silent with a vibration indicator (usually a squiggly line - but this may vary by ROM).
This app appears to allow some customization of vibration based on specific contacts for SMS and perhaps inbound calls: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.base2apps.vibes&hl=en
Other than that, there may be a kernel option to change vibrate intensity. If the above don't work for you, and you do still get some level of vibrate, I'll look into it when I'm working on my next kernel update.

Can we know more abt. the emergency uclb3 packaged with this toolkit?
Is it rooted, zipaligned, deodexed, debloated, with lidroid toogles etc?
The UCLB3 ROM included here is derived from Dman's rooted, deodexed, zipaligned base. I've updated superuser, and debloated all the crap out of it, plus a bunch of other apps that would be included in a typical rom but removed here in the interest of conserving space while staying true to the intent... something to flash in the event of an emergency - i.e. no roms on sdcard, or for devs and testers, something to flash as a "control" to compare against... i.e. flash this, apply your change to see if it causes the same behavior as on your own rom...

[Q] Turn device on by plugging the charger

I have several Android devices and I'd like to customize them.
Normal reaction of there devices when they're off and the charger is plugged is showing battery indicator.
How to replace this reaction by any other reaction? The simplest idea is automated booting operating system.
All i know is,there is no mod or app for this. Of curse when your phone is off.

At least LG P700 has got this indicator.
Even Nokia X3-02 has such indicator so the same question would ideally apply to Nokia as well.

Ι mean to change it of curse(when phone is off). Every phone had this indicator.
If some app "charging indicator" is loaded it must be possible to replace it by any other app.
I don't know about every device but I have at least two examples at home.
What about this app?

Yup, you need to extract apk and sideload it. Also, notice how it cuts off 40% of the app and clicking on the buttons is really hard as they are so small. So, its only good for showing off to your fallout 4 fan friends. Although, using the map for fast travel on the watch is not that bad.
[Added]
However, if you are really determined to have it showing fully, you can try playing with DPI values.
I figured it out. It keeps randomly closing for me though, and the left and right half of the screen are cut off. I'm new to sideloading apps to my wear device, so now I need to figure out how to remove it from my watch

I tried some of the methods posted on the net, but none seem to work. What you can try is to load TWRP recovery into your watch and just delete folder that contains works like falloutcompanionapp inside /data/app/. Or if you already rooted your watch, you can just access that folder without recovery.

I did some research, and it turns out I don't have to be rooted. Don't even need that special CAT5/USB cable that the Moto 360 requires. Just Sven's toolkit.
That's right, you don't need a root to sideload apps. You just need to activate the adb mode in developer settings. Its best to use adb over USB since Bluetooth is so painfully slow.
