[REQ] Easy reboot into recovery w/o shell

I hope this is in the right spot.
I was hoping to ask the awesome developers here if there was any way to add a quick "reboot into recovery" option (a la openeclair) from the power button menu.
I mean, when you long press the power button on the Nexus, you get a dialogue box asking whether you want to reboot regularly or into recovery.
Ideally, this would be able to work on any rom, CM5 especially. For right now, I'm just going to write an apk that strictly does "reboot recovery" because that's the extent of my ability. More on that later.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

i understand your request for the option to be added to the window when long-pressing power button - i'd like that too.
but in terms of "writing an apk that does reboot recover" there is aleady such app (with widget) in the market: Quick Boot

Just received my G Tablet - Menu button not working?

Sorry I did a search on this and I could not find anything. I just got my G tablet from woot today and I could not get the "MENU" button to work. It is the button below the home button and above the back button. I've used all the apps and whenever I hit the menu button nothing comes up, is this normal?

Depends on the app as to whether the menu button does anything. Some apps simply do not havea menu.
When you press the menu button while on the main screen does anything happen? It should take you to the settings options, no?

I think this is normal, that button does not seem to do anything in most stock apps. Try opening up the es file explorer and pressing it.

SIDE QUESTION: anyone know how to choose camera pictures or non-stock pictures as wallpaper? I can't seem to figure this out...spend like an hr on this..
EDIT: Nvm flashed to TnT and I don't have to worry about this anymore. worked great

Remove full battery notification?

Is there a way this can be done. I cant stand the notification popping up all the time and waking me up at night. I dont really want to turn my volume down I just want it not to notify me when the battery is fully charged.

I'm pretty sure most custom roms have already done this

yes I know but I was curious if I can modify the apk or replace it or something on my own and do it?

I'm pretty sure(but don't quote me on this) you can't disable it without rooting & flashing a ROM(i.e. Gummycharged). Hope I'm wrong but I've been hearing people complain about not being able to remove it just like bloatware(also solved by ROMs).

I have the leaked GB ROM and I have this stupid thing I can not find how to get rid of it.

There is a program that is freezable in titanium called Fullbatpopupapp, but I don't know the ramifications of freezing it. (need my phone for work so I don't f&ck with it much lol)

I know, but I am running ee4 debloated and I love it. The only thing I hate about it IS.....the full battery sound!
I use my phone for a pager also where work has to page me. So turning down the notifications while I sleep is not an option. So an hour after I am asleep my phone goes off as if I am getting a SWAT call-out and it just telling me I have a full battery. Hopefully there is a simple fix.
And since the DEVS can do it, it is possible. Just need them to see my cry for help and show me the way!

please someone has to know how to do this????

I would also like a solution to this that doesn't involve flashing an already-modified rom. I am also running ee4 debloated and it suits my fancies perfectly. All I need is to remove that battery charged notification.

Go back into the Dialer, clear those numbers, then *#22745927
Now a screen will appear asking for the SPC Code, enter 000000
Press the Hiddenmenu Enable radio button, then press home button
Go back into the dialer and enter *#3844228#. It allows you to disable it.
You can also use this option to disable the lock screen (and power down pop up), go back into the Dialer and use the code *#7594#, select Shutdown and press the Home button. This, I have confirmed, does work on the Charge.

The lock screen part is, I don't disable the lock screen, just included it since it uses the same information. Mostly posted for the full battery question.

I had it removed on my fascinate. There is a zip file for the fascinate to do it. Maybe someone can port it over. The fascinate isn't far from this phone

What do you do after you put the last code in (*#3844228#)? Do you hit the home button again or dial or nothing?

Screen Flickering due to overlay on CM10.1

Hi All,
my screen got messed up somehow.
I am on CM10.1 latest build.
I can see a black transparent box on the screen saying "overlay#1 : 720x480 160dpi"
I searched and found that there is an option on developers option>> "disable hardware overlays"
But i am not able to do anything on this screen...
When i touch somewhere something else is opened. I tired reflashing the ROM without wipe. But it did not help. I don't want to loose my data.
Please help..

In App Menu button

Idk if you guys are coming from a note 4 or just a general non s6 or s6 edge... but I didn't know they got rid of the long press menu... i just found out that if you long press the back button, it sort of acts as an in App Menu button. Just sharing a tip for those who may not know.

I have an app (maybe multiple) that does not have an in app menu button built in and therefore requires a menu function from the OS. I used to long press the back key in my LG G4 to get into the menu, but can't figuring out how to do it in my video surveillance app on my S7 Edge. If I short press the bottom left (two squares button), the open apps come up. If I long press the bottom left, it tries to take me into split screen mode (which this app doesn't support). If I press the bottom right key, the phone goes back to the desktop. Same results yield in long pressing the bottom right button. Does anyone know how to get into in app menus that do not have a menu button? My Uniden Guardian app requires this menu to exit out of the application or it will show in the notification area in standby mode. The only other way I can exit the app is doing a force close.

NM, it must be specific to my Uniden Guardian app... The long press back key works in other apps.

Any answer yet?
If I long press the back button in any app, I am immediately taken back to the home screen and once in the home screen, the home screen drop down items pop up. Any solutions for this?

Maybe it's carrier specific? The long-press back button brings up the in-app menu in virtually all of my apps.

On my Sprint GS7E, longpressing the Back button brings up the in-app Menu function.

I have found a few apps that close when long pressing the back, and some that show the menu properly. I had to find another super simple (no permissions required) grocery list app since Simple Grocery List was one that would close.

Here is the fix I figured out that works in this situation and it would be good to pass this on or write up a document.
Go to phone settings => Accessibility => Dexterity and interaction => Assistant Menu.
Got this from galaxy s6 edge forum have an app with need of menu button and it now work with this work around hope this helps for now my phone is not rooted.

I'm seeing this too in some apps. Including XDA Premium (Tapatalk). Holding back for the menu seems to think I'm tapping the back button. The app goes back through the previous pages, then quits.

Assistant Menu gives you a few options like home button back button and also a menu button that you can use whilst in any app to open the menu as the long press back button doesn't work on some apps it's just a work around that does work

The assist menu button is for apps that require a physical menu button to access the menu on any apps. It is used for apps that don't have the 3dot menu option it's just a work around for apps that don't have that option or that not have been updated for marshmallow

Unfortunately doesn't work on apps made with pre Android v4.0 SDK I use an SMS parsing app for bank notifications/login codes and it hasn't been updated since 2 years but works perfectly, just the settings are missing.

I found this discussion was very helpful, but it took me some time to work it out.
When the Assistant menu button is switched on (Settings - Accessibility - Dexterity and interaction), a blue symbol with four white squares appears. If this symbol is pressed, a menu pops up with a selection of available tasks. This includes (on page 2/4) a button called "More options". This is the extra Menu button that should be accessible from a long press of the Back button, but is not available in some apps.

Not happy with this at all. Whats wrong with the developers? Why take functionality away? Should be adding more! Why change things for the hell of it? Appart from just being plain annoying, buying the latest S7 edge phone out, and looking forward to trying ps1 emulation out, and cant use ePSXe save function now, or any app menu...

Hello All,
I found a fix. settings==>system==>Buttons==>Home Button. Change the action to open/close menu. or any of the buttons you see there. This works like a charm and if it's a button you dont normally use then even better cause you wont forget which one you chose.

This worked for me. It floats a circular object and you tap this and it gives you some quick one touch functions, one of those is the 3 dots in a vertical line, you tap that and your app will then behave as if you'd tapped a physical MENU button.
Thanks for the tip.
