[Q] Power Control Widget

Does anyone know of a customizable power control widget that has a working 3G toggle? I have a NS4G.
Thank you much.

I believe Widgetsoid has a functional 3G toggle, the GPS toggle doesn't work though.

Thanks man. Can't wait until developers can restrict which apps work on which devices.

Is there any way to pull the working app from CM7 to install on a rooted stock 2.3.4?

As do I. I would love if a dev could throw an apk together or zip file that contains the notification bar widgets. I would also love if CM7 worked on the NS4G.
I am quite surprised at the lack of toggles for 3G on the NS. By toggling data when I do or don't need it, I can often triple my battery life.
EDIT: I have not been able to get Widgetsoid's 3G toggle to function. Any other suggestions?

[Q] Auto brightness too dim

What files do i need to adjust to make my phone brighter when using auto brightness my phone is way too dim.

It seems like the max level of auto brightness is whatever the slider was set at before choosing "auto".
Try turning off auto, running the slide to where you want it and then turning auto brightness back on.

Well just tried that and still no luck ....Guess Im gonna have to change ROMs

As far as I know, brightness levels are controlled by kernel, not ROM. So if u like the ROM, try changing the kernel.

Try gingerbeast 2.1.1 or Android Revolution 5.1.6. I used both, and both are good.

OP, if you're going to be trying out different ROMs be sure to check out CyanogenMod. It has a ton of tweakable auto brightness settings that simply don't exist in most ROMs. Among the many settings, you can dial in the exact screen brightness you want for a given ambient light level. Once you get the settings to your liking, there will be very few (if any) situations where you'll need to manually adjust the brightness; it will be done automatically the way you want instead of the way the ROM developer likes it.

CM7 was the first rom i used after root ..... If it wasnt for giving up full screen MMS messages i'd still be using it.

That issue appears to be fixed...I can open mms pictures full screen in the stock messaging app as well as chompSMS. Running 7.0.3 stable that came out a few weeks ago.

cool ill check iy out again ....thanks

Anyway to disable the capacitive button lights?

I read that CM7 will supposedly let you turn off the button lights (back, menu, search, and home), but is there a way to turn them off without it? Thanks.

Are you using a custom kernel with backlight notifications? Or do you just want the lights off all the time? If you are using a custom kernel with BLN you can use BLN Control from the market to disable backlight notifications.

I'm using it stock and want the 4 cap. button lights to turn off after a few seconds so I can watch videos in the dark (or have an app that I start that turns off the lights before I watch a movie).
Does BLN also disable capacitivte button lights (not just backlight notifications)? Are there other non custom rom solutions?

Backlight dimmer (BLD), one of Ezekeel's mods does this. It disables the capacitive buttons after x amount of time (variable you can set freely). But you need a custom kernel for this to work, not a custom rom. Check the developer section, most new kernel versions support BLD. Then, you can download NSTools from the market to set and configure the functionality.
BLN is only for notifications and blinking normally so it's not what you're looking for.

Awesome, that's actually even better. One question though, once the buttons/lights are disabled how are they re-enabled? Simply touching the screen? Thanks.

nope they'll stay off if you touch the screen. you have to touch the buttons themselves to get them to relight

Oh ok, perfect. thanks

Can someone point me to the correct file to download here for installing BLD:

Thanks

i've been looking for a way to disable the lights too! thanks!

As a clarification, the feature is not available on 7.1.0.1 but only in the nightly later nightly builds. However, if you're running the stable mod, a workaround is to use Spark Mod Manager.

SkyROCKeteer wants thread

Hey guys...I know Playin4Sheezy has been busy doing tons of stuff and he thought of starting a thread about "What would we want in a rom" thread for him to possibly incorporate into his masterpiece. I will add to the OP with good ideas that are possible to implement this life time:
1) Power off menu with screen capture, reboot, recovery etc
2) Adjustable status bar buttons (wifi hotspot, disable lockscreen)
3) Wake on Vol +/-
4) GB or rotary lockscreen
5) Battery % option like CM7 95II <--- Battery % next to bar

reserved for Playin4Sheezy---

What would I want? Thats easy .. nice stable rom with no issues.. lte lights and icons must work and have performance tweaks..
Flash it and make it perform better and not worse.

LOL, that's the point of building roms and testing them out. He finds what works and what doesn't by our feedback. If you want stock....stay stock. Also, BLN notifications are enabled by the kernel from Da_G.

Here this is what i would like if possible!

Lol what is it you consider nice and stable? I haven't had a single issue besides the lte icons which I can't test for accuracy due to lack of lte. The icons will be fixed as I have someone with lte testing for me. But besides that, what issues are you having?

Customizable pull-down toggles. Let me add what I want in there and sort them my way. How many people really need "Airplane Mode" at a quick glance.
I like my pull-down to be skimpy and to the point. Not cluttered with items I may click once a week or so at the most.
GSII LTE Boot animation without any sound (like it is now).
Get rid of the glowy "Samsung" letters during boot. It just looks dorky.
Customizable profiles with shortcuts to turn each on/off.
Capacitive buttons lit 100% of time so phone can be easily used in landscape mode in dark car when docked.
Audio-out in dock mode through 3.5mm jack to OEM Samsung Car Dock.
NFC working (I think it might already be?).
Color icons in settings menu.
ICS theme everywhere else.
Large button keyboard.
I use Go Launcher for my launcher and Widgetlocker for my lock screen, so no need to customize those two items.
Continue to provide update packages instead of full ROM's so we don't have to comletely wipe things out when you provide updates. This is a great idea you have there.
Based on 2.3.6.

If I could request something, it would be for :
1)a Vanilla Android. No TOUCHWIZ, no bloats whether from Rogers or AT&T.
2) If its an add on to stock TW, definitely have a tweak that doesn't force connection to 4G (3.5g) or LTE all the time. Only unless data transfer is being used like browsing in order to help conserve some battery, Battery %, control toggles, advanced power button options (reboot, shutdown, recovery), jkay tweaks, BLN (need supporting kernel), hardware acceleration.

I'd like the following:
Disable boot/shutdown sounds
Remove power off confirmation (why a two step power off?)
Remove the vibration icon on notification bar
Remove Full Charged Notification Icon, Sound and Screen On
CRT screen off animation
Extended power menu (reboot/recovery/download etc)
Lock screen choices (I like rotary lock screen)
Hacked Camera, power button acts as shutter release
CALL RECORDING
No CIQ
And of course all the mandatory stuff like Deodexed, Zipaligned, Rooted Remove AT&T bloatware etc etc....

AWESOME! Can't wait.
Do you think you'll be able to get call recording working? I loved it with my Captivate running Continuum 4.1 but apparently it doesn't work so easily with 2.3 GB roms. ??

There are a number of cool settings we can grab out of tmo roms (rom control, miui battery meter) All with dev permission/credit of course
My problem right now is there exists not one "total package" rom of all roms...and it CAN exist. Every request listed exists somewhere...it is just going to take some work getting it in one package
It is something i have been working on but have not really had time to mess with. I am a total newb at this dev stuff. even when that "perfect" rom is developed...I am going to need a kernel to go with.
Btw...i am in an lte area ...so if you need lte specific testing just let me know

[Q] Matr1x Kernel Question

Hello,
Posting this here as I can't post in Development Section
I am using CyberGRMOD ROM. I would like to use Matr1x Kernel and i tried 16.5 CFS but every time i get an email (GMAIL)..the hardware keys turn on and stay on...till i clear out the notification from the notification bar... I can't figure out how to change that. Any help would be appreciated.

Get NSTools from the market and use it to 'tune' the kernel and disable BLN. Matr1x has BLN (backlight notification) enabled by default.

Thanks
