(Q) - Android app to modify physical power button features - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hey guys,
Haven't been able to find this and it's been driving me slightly nuts. Is there any android app that allows you to change the options that come up when you hold your power button?
Right now my G2 only has power/air plane mode/silent mode.
I would like to change my button to have a few more options like restart/wireless/hotspot. I am NOT looking for a widget that gives these options. I'm also hoping I don't have to flash a new rom. If the app needs root that's fine becaue I use visionary.
Please let me know if you guys know of an option.
Thanks in advanced

Well. I'll try to bump one more time.

I'm also interested in this, I believe it would be a wonderful thing.

This really needs to be posted in a phone-specific forum rather than the general one as your answer will probably have hardware limitations. That being said, I doubt Android will allow something like that without a new ROM. IMO

Need dev for simple widget.

Would it be possible for someone to make a simple widget just to toggle the app wireless tether to start and stop? I know quite a few people who really want a simple way to just toggle it. And I know its just being lazy to not click in but I tether a good twenty times a day and its tedious.

Do a search for "tethering widget". I guess that is what you want.
Close but that turns on my hot spot which I don't use. I use the app wireless tether.

I don't know a lot about Tasker, but you might be able to accomplish this using that app. Give it a shot.
I can't get it to do anything beyond opening the app. Basically I'm trying to get something that will open the app and hit an on screen button. Then preferably go back to the home screen.

[Q] Please help a disabled user!

Hi There, I am a partially sighted user who has bought a motorola xoom. I also have an iPad and I have been looking for an app on the xoom which is built into iOS. It's the white on black feature, also known as colour inversion.
I have searched the market place high and low for such an app using all different search terms, i.e negative, inverted etc etc but I can't find anything. The native white background on web pages or any other text intesive apps really over strains my eyes, sometimes to the point where I have trouble making out the words of text. I also use the negative feature on my PC and is a much more comfortable experience.
I would like to know if anyone has come across such an app for android? I really love my xoom but I can't yet replace my iPad for using on the train to read the web because of my trouble.
Apologies if this was posted in the wrong section, it was difficult to know which category it fits into.
This might require root access. Anyways, good luck.

My device is already rooted but I still have no idea how to do it! Any ideas?
Your best bet on this may be to wait on chainfire 3d being updated for honeycomb.. one of the night modes may work great for you.

In the browser settings on my phone, I see an option to invert color of web pages. That could be a good place to start.
Hope you get it all worked out.
Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I was hopeful about the option in the web browser settings suggested but unfortunately this option doesn't appear in the settings for the xoom. Its a real shame re the complete lack of native accessibility options built into the implementation of the OS by motorola.

Anyone??? I am pretty desperate for something that can help. At least until the 3d solution mentioned above is available.

Question regarding market

Hi guys, I wanna know whether something wrong with phone/market or everyone experiences the same thing. The issue is market shows maybe 1% of the total hits. For example if I search clock in the market then it says 21000 as result but when I start to scroll down it shows only 2_3 pages and stops there as if thats it, no more apps.
I did not experience this with the old market. I have gs2 and no root.
Anything I can do??
Thnx

Noone has the same issue? I really appreciate an answer.
Thnx

I have the same problem and have not gotten an answer either. Say I search for "root" 50 apps will show up, but at the top out will say 2000. But I want to see them all. I don't get it.

I deleted all cache and data etc and same thing even deleted market and reinstalled så need some advise here.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I did that too. the only way to get it back to normal is to install the old market. Your going to have to root to do that. Just revert back and freeze the updater
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
I don't like the new market. So many developers are loosing money by not having their apps visable. Plus google isn't any help. Tried that too

I have the same issue. Also, some of the pictures are not working.
If I check out a app the small preview pictures are fine but if I touch them to fit the screen I have problems viewing them. Usually the second one is only a black screen.

[Q] Mms.apk Problem

I have been using the mms_cyan.apk
Found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901216
And have been quite happy with it, with a couple exceptions. 1) It does not show the notification on my lock screen like my stock mms app does and 2) found out last night than anytime I go to send an audio or video file, the app FC's. If anyone could help me either figure out how to resolve these 2 issues or if it's too complex for someone who had little to no experience working w/ apks perhaps resolve it and tell me what had to be done so that I can learn from the experience I would be greatful.
I have included my stock mms.apk, the mms_cyan.apk, as well as my framework-res.apk in the zip file.
Thank you in advance.
Edit: I am using a LG-C800 on 2.3.4 if that matters
Any idea guys? And this may need to be moved to the Android specific forum?

Maybe the mms.cyan is missing files from your stock mms.apk

But where would I begin to try and resolve the issue? I'm pretty computer savvy, but programming and the like has never really been my strong suite; although not afraid to try if pointed in the right direction.
The files u downloaded, r they designed for your phone?
Sent from my HTC_A510c
I haven't been able to find anything designed for my phone yet. Newer model. But everything works aside from being able to send audio or video sends pictures fine.
That might be why then, maybe
Sent from my HTC_A510c
Actually, just tested it and I can't send any mms with this app... can receive just fine though. Where would I have to start to make the mms_cyan compatible? Cause the stock mms app sucks horribly, cannot even choose what folder to download attachments to. Really like the one I'm using but the limitation of not being able to send an mms just isn't a viable option...

A dev could probaly help you on that, I have no dev experience

Ok so after looking at the logcat I'm seeing that for picture messages it's being denied by the server for some reason... as for the problem with adding audio and it crashing I'm still at a loss... any dev able to possibly offer some insight?
Sent from my LG-C800 using xda premium
if it worked in ur phone place the apk in the rom and reload it, if never worked, the apk might not be for your phone
Maybe the mms.cyan is missing files from your stock mms.apk
Any idea as to where to start? After decompiling both apks with autoapktool and looking in the folders the stock has a lot more folders inside, but don't know where to begin narrowing it down as to where the problem may lie. Thanks in advance...
Sent from my LG-C800 using xda premium
what its mms.cyan can change skin?
It appears to be a modded stock mms.apk with the option of a white or black background and with the black background the names on the main conversation screen as well as 'new message' are colored cyan as well as the default contact image is modded, really like the app and wish I could get some help to mod it to work on my phone properly...
Sent from my LG-C800 using xda premium
I'm in about the same boat as you as far as skills go. If we can get dev attention to a ClorkworkMod recovery, then CyanogenMod (which I assume is where your preferred MMS comes from, judging by the name) opens up to us. The MyTouch Q is supposed to get an OTA update to ICS second quarter of this year, so it can definitely run the latest stuff-- even when bloated down with T-Mo apps and CarrierIQ. It's really a neat slider.
Yeah, after tweaking the phone some its pretty quick and love the fact its a slider... keep checking into the post hoping they will figure out cwm for the c800 but no such luck so far.
And judging from the original post where I found the mms_cyan, the OP has a lot of posts for HTC so thinking it was from one of those roms... but having no luck so far figuring out where to start so I can mod it to work fully on my phone.... not that I have any programming knowledge anyhow but... lol

Ok, so since I've been unable to figure this out on my own... I would gladly donate to whoever can figure this out so that I can have the Mms.apk that I want.
Sent from my LG-C800 using xda premium
Almost hate to bump such an old post of mine, however still have been unable to figure out how to modify my prefered mms.apk to work as the stock mms does. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tried the alternative messaging programs out there and none are what i'm looking for...

I've been using fing network tools from the android market, its free and has many features (except sniffing), can't recommended it enough.

If your feeling really adventurous you could install backtrack on your device, but I don't think much of it works properly if at all.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Thanks! But I'm already using Fing
I don't feel like installing Backtrack on my device yet.
I want to know how far I can go without installing a new OS or anything on my device. Maybe in the future.
Thanks for the answers anyway peoples, if anyone has any more suggestions I'd love to hear them.
