For example:
Homescreen > Menu > Settings > Phone Storage.
I want an app that I could create a shortcut on the homescreen to immediately launch to "Phone Storage".
This is just an example. What i'm truly trying to accomplish on a Droid X is:
Homescreen > Menu > Settings > Battery & Data > Data Usage and then turn off the 3G by unchecking "Data Enabled".
I tried "Extended Controls Widget" but that doesn't seem to have the option to create a shortcut to do that.
*Edit*
Nevermind, I found in ADW where to do this. You add a shortcut and choose ADW Activity.

Thank you! This has been bothering me too.
Source of the connection request.
Ideally, you should try to find out which application is trying to connect to the net. and disable that, the most common one for me, is Windows Live Hotmail when trying to sync. if you have it on automatic sync. (As Items Arrive). There are many other app. that require constant connection to the Internet.
the 3th party firewall program around got that option i believe
How would I go about changing the default camera app, tried going to settings, apps, camera, but defaults is grayed out. I open the app I want to use as default but no camera picker, is there a way to force a default
Running stock kyocera hydro icon 4.4.2 rom, not rooted and using art runtime
Sent from my C6730 using XDA Free mobile app
Go to Settings > Apps > All > Scroll down until you find your current default camera app > click it > scroll down until you see a 'clear defaults' button > click it > then perform an action that requires a camera and select the one you want to use by default. It should look something like this.
Hi,
Very often when I want to install an application I have this message "screen overlay detected, please disable" that appears and keeps me from continuing. I am forced to go into the settings, to disable one by one this authorization for each application. Then I go back on the new application to complete the installation. Then I return to the screen overlay management to accept it again for each application. It takes ages :crying:
Is there not a way to disable all at once and then reactivate all at once ?
Thank you
Hi and welcome to assist,
Try this steps:
Go to Settings > Apps > 'Advanced' (near the bottom) - under 'Advanced' subsection, access 'Draw over other apps'. Here, individually change the settings of ALL the apps to 'No' (in other words, disable 'Permit drawing over other apps' for every app). Once done, you can freely change apps' permissions in Settings > Apps > [name of app] > 'Permissions' without the annoying 'Screen overlay detected...' warning popping-up every time. Once you have correctly changed the permissions (for every app that's not working properly), you should return to individually change each of the apps' settings to 'Yes' in the 'Draw over other apps' section (in other words, re-enable 'Permit drawing over other apps' for every app).
Good luck,
Razvan
Turn off ZUI Freeform Bar's display on top of other app's permission in settings.
Settings > Apps Management
> 3dot menu > Special App Access
> Display Over Other Apps > 3dot menu > Show system
> scroll to the bottom and disable ZUI Freeform Bar's permission.
Legend thank you I will test.
Hi -
How do I set a custom notification tone on an application (specifically, Google Messages)? I haven't found a way to do that yet, and I have pressed just about every button on the screen.
How do I permanently disable 5G connectivity? The battery draining impacts far outweigh the very minimal benefits of 5G, so I don't think we will ever want to use 5G.
Thanks!
For custom notification sounds you have to put them inside a certain folder, in the "My Files" app search for notifications and copy them into that folder. After that, you have to trawl though the app settings menu, usually I long press the app and select the "i" at the top right - using the Discord app as an example - from there go to Notifications > Notification Categories > Direct Messages (as an example) > Sound and select the one you want.
Uploaded 2 screenshots to show it in action.
Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Network Mode, set to 4G

Thanks, @Sonic Steven!
That helped. I was able to set the Google Messages "Incoming Message" Notification Category to my custom sound. (BTW ... If there is another "Incoming Message" Notification Category for another application, will it also play my custom sound? Or, is this setting specific to each application?)
For disabling the 5G network, not as much luck. There wasn't any 4G or 5G settings visible in my AT&T Mobile Network settings. I may try removing my SIM card to see if something shows up.
I believe it is per app basis
If there's no option under the connection settings then I assume you would need to use something like the Samsung Band Selection app
Actually, I just found a better route than the Samsung Band Selection App:
This method exposes the hidden preferred Mobile Data Selector that's already in the phone.
Since we already were using Nova Launcher, this solution was a no-brainer (well, after someone else's brain had figured it out).
No additional software required for us.
