I don't know if others are having this problem, but many of the screen shots I took don't load at first. Try a few refreshes, it should make the how to easier to follow.
So I only recently tried this out. I haven't found any glaring issues with it, but a backup is recommended just in case. No warranty, I'm not responsible if somehow this breaks/bricks your phone, causes your phone to not dial during an emergency, etc.
Also I didn't really proofread this as I don't have a large amount of time available, so sorry for any dumb grammar errors. I'll look it over eventually.
I didn't like the choices that Samsung provided in the Earphones Connected options for the notification drop down. Here is example of the stock:
My original hope was to remove it completely, but I wasn't successful with my first attempts. Instead I found that I could edit the SQLite database contained within. This allows one to add custom applications as they see fit.
If you want to remove it completely:

Requirements:
Galaxy S3 with stock or near stock firmware (CM9/CM10 will won't have Earphones Connected options to my knowledge)
Root Access
SQLite Editor: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.sqleditor
Free version doesn't seem to work. Try if you insist:
SQLite Editor(Free version SQLite editor, thanks eschelon)
It appears the free one is a version behind. 1.4.1, maybe they will update it eventually.
Where the pay for app is 1.5
1.5 had some ICS compatibility added..
Step 1)
Open SQLite
You should get a screen like this:
Step 2)
Tap "TouchWiz home"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then tap "launcher.db"
Then tap "appOrder" ...
Step 3)
This should bring you to the SQLite table for your app drawer. This will list the info we need for launching the app of you choosing. For this example we will use Google Maps as our app of choice. The screen should like similar to this, (a jumbled mess):
From here you want to hit the menu button and select "Set Filter
Type in maps, and click ok:
Step 4)
Now you will have a bit more manageable table. Press and hold on maps until you get this pop up and select "Edit Record".
Step 5)
Scroll down and copy the "componentName" data:
Step 6)
Press back until you get to the database lists again. Then tap the "ContextAwareService"
Step 7)
Tap "logDatabase.db" ...
Then tap "appLogTable"
side note: sqlite_sequence determines what number the next entry will be in the table. This may be necessary to know in case there are too many apps in the table and the ones you try to add don't show on the screen. Also if I remember right setting this to 0 will reset you to default applications and clear your changes, although it doesn't always fix problems with crashes if you experience them. I would still do a nandroid and/or titanium backup just in case
Step 8)
You should now have a screen like this: (you may notice google play is already on my list, ignore that)
Press the menu button and select "New Record"
Side note: You can long press the other entries and delete them as you please if there are particular ones you don't want listed. I'd recommend at least screen shot before doing so. I wouldn't actually do this, as I think I found a more stable work around for unwanted apps: See here.
Step 9)
Warning a lot of people are gettings this error on this step:"Record creation failed-unable to open database file"
I am unaware of the cause or how to fix it as of yet. I am using the paid for version myself, so I don't know if that makes some sort of difference. I would doubt that it does. Also I am on the Bean rom.
Please post if you have failure or success and what rom you are using as well as if you used the free or paid version of the app.
Now paste the earlier copied text into the "activity_name" section.
Paste the earlier copied text up to the / in the "pkg_name" section (See the screen shot for example)
Tap "save"
side note:The last field "exec_freq_with_headset" seems to keep track of how many times you launch the app through the notification menu. So far it seems to order the most frequently used on the left, and the lest frequently used on the right. Although you shouldn't need to add any number there as it will default to 0. This should better explain the "exec_freq_with_headset"
Woot Done:
Plug in some headphones and see what it looks like:

Strange, it worked for Play Music, but not for Pandora or XiiaLite. Said something about not being able to save the database.

Were the headphones still plugged in? Maybe it was still accessing the database when you attempted to edit it?
Another thought is to close out SQLite Editor and reopen it, maybe once you used Play Music it incremented the "exec_freq_with_headset" field and the editor didn't see the update yet.

I'll try downloading those apps, see if I have any similar issues.
Working fine for me. I can post a screen shot later. I gotta run some errands.
Only tried Pandora, but it worked just fine. I have yet to run into the same problem with the database files not opening. Maybe a reboot or clear cache/dalvik cache. Those are my usual attempts when I feel stumped.
Looking forward to this. Will try this tomorrow

nice. was just in the subway today wondering if there was a way to change those, since i would like to add spotify and poweramp in the list. thanks!
I messed up my database, somehow causing the process to continually crash. Which in the past I was able to delete everything and it went back to the default. This time it went back to default but still crashed. So I did a restore from titanium backup and it was back to normal. So probably backup in between each edit. Also the "exec_freq_with_headset" seems to be based on your total number of apps. So if you have like 10 total the one with 10 will show up on the far left, up to 5 will show. I hope this makes sense.
10 ... 9 ... 8 ... 7 ... 6
This seems to negate the need to delete any of them. Also I think deleting may have caused my process to crash previously.
Heres some screen shots to explain it: (if i put one of the app's "exec_freq_with_headset" to 11 it would shift all the rest to the right one and knock the farthest right one off the screen's visibility. But if I set to 12 I think it will cause crash issues.)
When I try to save (step 9), it won't and I get the error "Record creation failed-unable to open database file"
Happened when I tried to add MortPlayer, Listen, and Pandora. None would save. I'm rooted and running regular Touchwiz rom.
Also, I noticed that in Step 3 most of my apps were not listed, including many of my favorite audio apps. I realized that this is because I'm using a different launcher (Apex), and only the apps that were on the Samsung launcher before I started using Apex were showing up. To fix this, I cleared Apex as the default launcher, launched the Samsung launcher, let all the apps show in the app drawer, then started over with your steps. This time all the apps were there in Step 3.

You may be able to open the database for your particular home app instead of switching back. Just a thought.

Hi everyone,
I make this app for my own daily use originally. However, I found that many people are asking for similar features on WhatsApp. So, I make it available on Google Play Store. You need a rooted device to run this app.
WhatsMore is an add-on account management to make WhatsApp holding more than 1 phone number even on a single-SIM mobile phone. Now, we can give different phone numbers to the family, co-workers, customers, net-friends, and etc…
Features:
- Allow Up to 2 phone numbers to be used with WhatsApp on the same device.
- Auto swapping WhatsApp accounts in a user preset interval.
- Show notifications when swapping WhatsApp accounts.
- Show notifications if there are unread messages of swapped out WhatsApp accounts.
- Launch any inactive WhatsApp account from within WhatsMore.
- Perform auto recovery upon the App starts (or the phone starts up) if the previous swapping process is interrupted. (ie. Power off, reboot of the mobile phone, upgrade from the play store)
** The following statement is copied from the official WhatsApp FAQ **
If you attempt to frequently switch your WhatsApp account between different devices, at a certain point, you may be blocked from re-verifying your account. So please do not repeatedly switch between different devices.
Using this app is a different story. You only register the each linked phone number once. And, you are always working on 1 device only.
Set up procedures:
Assume you have phone number 1 and phone number 2. Follow the following steps to do the configuration:
1. Make sure the WhatsApp is properly registered with phone number 1.
2. Start WhatsMore and swipe to the tab - Manage Profiles.
3. Click the [import] button on the bottom of the screen.
4. Input a profile name when prompted for.
5. After import success, you can see the button on the bottom of the screen has the label changed. It should read ‘Prepare WhatsApp for a new registraion’.
6. Click the [prepare] button and you will get a warning dialog.
7. Click [Continue] and wait for the process to be finished.
8. Turn off the phone and swap the SIM cards of phone number 1 and 2.
9. Start WhatsApp
10. Go thru the WhatsApp registration procedure using the phone number 2.
11. Make sure the new phone number 2 is working on the WhatsApp.
12. Start WhatsMore and swipe to the tab - Manage Profiles.
13. Click the [import] button on the bottom of the screen.
14. Input a profile name when prompted for.
15. Swipe to the tab - Status.
After doing the above steps, you should see 2 phone icons on the status tab.
Note:
Make sure you have the latest Busybox installed. Otherwise, this app won't work!
HAPPY CHATTING!
WhatsMore on Google Play

Interesting, will have a look. Thanks!
I have followed every step you said, but cannot import the whatsapp account. Dun know why??
I have uninstalled and re-installed the whatsapp.
Can you let me know why??
Many thx by the way
I don't really unterstand that, 2 numbers on a Single sim card? Can anybody explain it to me?
Please make it compatible with Android 2.3 as well as many of us have dual sim phone which are still having 2.3 so please try to get it in the compatible list.
I would like to know if the message database of two accounts will be merged into one or two separate databases will be kept?

Separated internal memory storage for each WhatsApp number.
A new version of WhatsMore has been published to the play store. It uses a less complicated root command syntax and perhaps more devices are supported. Also, please make sure you have the latest Busybox installed.

Some carriers certainly provides 2 numbers on 1 sim-card. However, you don't need this special sim-card to use WhatsMore. Once you are done with the WhatsApp registration, you can pull out that sim-card out of your phone. It is not needed anymore when you are chatting WhatApp.
I do not receive any confirmation number as I do not see any banners at all..what can I do?

Better use T.backup instead of the WhatsApp built-in backup. The are guidelines in the FAQ of WhatsMore.

The release version has a fix. In the beta version, the number picker did not refresh the phone wake up duration when the auto rotation had already been turned on. Thanks.
I'm using the donate version on an HTC One S running CM 10.0. The app keeps asking to grant Superuser twice upon every startup, despite having told my superuser-app to automatically grant permission upon the first run. After having used Whatsnow, other apps requiring root keep telling me they couldn't find the SU-binary and won't work anymore till restart.
Anyone have this problem? Once i've installed, connect to the wireless access point, unable to get the IP address, and at the end wireless will disconnect automatically.
Please advise.
Btw, I'm using Samsung Note 2 N7105.
Thanks.
awesome, thanks !

I have resolved the problem.
If you have installed another key borard, then simply revert to default keyboard.
FastFileTransfer has a simple mission: Offering fast, offline file exchange between literally any platforms.
The app works via Wifi, allowing for speeds of more than 40 Mbit/s, which means e.g. 1 Gigabyte in under 4 minutes.
FastFileTransfer does not require the second device to install anything, allowing for transfers from or to any other platform.
I'm proud to announce the release of Version 2.0!
The original version of FastFileTransfer was released back in 2012. It reached nearly 900.000 downloads, but even cooler: It was featured on the XDA Start Page back in 2013, which I'm still very thankful for!
FastFileTransfer 2.0 is a complete rewrite that took me 11 months of spare time development. I've written a whole new transfer engine (now even faster!), new User Interface and created a new Icon. There are tons of new features, and here is a list of all of them:
Features:
Lightning fast: Transfer 1 GB in under 4 minutes
Send multiple files or even whole folders (as ZIP)
Easy to follow step-by-step instructions
Receive from any device and operating system that supports WiFi
No need for an existing WiFi connection
Works completely offline
The receiver does not have to have the app installed
Send multiple files as ZIP
Display QR codes for faster receiving
Optionally use NFC for pairing
Unique engine specifically developed for compatibility against a wide range of Android devices
Send to an unlimited number of devices at the same time
New in Version 2.0:
New transfer engine
New UI
New Icon
Now supports sending via Wifi Direct or an existing Wifi Connection
Send multiple files as ZIP
Continues sending from background
New super secure mode
Send files from different folders
Send whole folders
More progress details
Now translated to German, Spanish (thanks @josuearisty!!), French, Turkish, Italian
Support for Android 5.0 Lollipop
Pro Version with additional features
Buy the Pro Version ($1.99) to:
Receive files from devices that don't have FFT installed
Let receivers download multiple files with one click (unzipped)
Get rid of the ads

I'm curious to hear your feedback!
Let me know what you like, and what you don't. Please feel free to ask questions or make suggestions for future updates!
(There is a thread for the old version, but as the new version is a complete rewrite, I decided to start a new one. If any moderator reads this post, please close the old thread.)

Cool, thanks! Let me know how you like it!
So here are my finding with FFT v2.0
01) Very good UI. Great speed and ease of use once you get the hang of it. Kudos to the hard work put up by the developer. Well worth the wait of all these months. :good:
Bugs/Quirks:
02) Instructions tab: The tab heading "Instructions" is not fully visible. I can only see till "Instructio". The rest gets clipped for some reason.
03) Instructions tab: The "Sending" section shows me the same instructions on selecting any of the 3 points. Confusing!
04) Instructions tab: The "Sending/Receiving" section does not give me any instructions on selecting any of them. Is it supposed to?
05) Sending tab: The best thing is that I can select multiple files and folders from ANYWHERE in the memory. The select files dialogue can use some spit polish. When removing a file, the "minus" sign gets lost within the file name.
06) Sending tab: I open the select files dialogue box. Press the back button. Now I can no longer get the select files dialogue box.
07) Sending tab: Is it necessary to show open file dialogue when a file is selected? I am not sure of this. Developer knows better.
08) Sending tab: After selecting all the files, I came to step 1. I didn't realize for a few minutes that I can scroll down and see step 2. Let there be some visual indicator so that the user knows it can scroll down/up.
09) Sending tab: I wanted to cancel the sharing of files. There is no stop or cancel button. (I can provide some UI mockup to integrate #05 and #09)
10) Sending tab: Please display speed in MB instead of Mb. Or gives us an option for the same.
11) Other: FFT can generate QR codes for links. Can you also integrate a QR code reader somewhere within the app (probably the "Receive" tab)? Other devices with FFT can then receive files more easily using the built-in reader.
12) Other: Instructions, Sending tabs: Ads at the bottom. Files tab: Ads at the top. Design inconsistency
The update is HUGE and hence there will surely be some bugs here and there. Though the dev is not under any obligation to fix them, these are just points that would make FFT better than before. I am still testing the app and will let you know if I face any more issues.
Once again, congratulations on the marvelous update. :highfive:

For stopping the transfer, you just have to close the app. If you have an idea for a mockup, I'd gladly take the inspiration

Okay, that's strange. What device and OS are you using? Would the text theoretically fit the screen?
Hm, okay, I might change that in the future. The dialog is meant to provide details for all three steps, so that was intended.
Yes, that's supposed to be like that. However, I'll add a dialog for these instructions as well.
Okay, that's right. Will have a look at that.
Ouch, that should not happen Will fix that.

This app transfers insanely fast off nexus 5, bought the inapp to show support..
Can you please provide some information and perhaps some screens/video for the 'Receive files from devices that don't have FFT installed'.
I'm really curious about this feature, as it's exactly what I'm looking for.
Thanks.

Sure: It's like the opposite of the sending mode that is available in the free version:
You start a receiving session inside FFT
The other device without FFT installed connects to the wifi and navigates to the website as instructed within FFT
Now, instead of getting a list of receivable files, the other device is offered with a form that allows to choose local files (files that are on the other device)
The other device has then to click a Send button, which starts the transfer
FFT displays the same progress information as when sending
All received files are available in the Files tab within the app
You're just 1.99$ away from trying it yourself :laugh:

Damn, I just purchased an app that does a very similar thing - although that app's UI is not exactly the best size to be used on a phone :/
1. Is your webform designed to be used/viewed on phones as well as tablets/PCs?
2. Does your app support sending multiple files and/or entire folders (including maintaining the directory structure) from a phone without FFT installed (via the webform/UI) to the FFT recipient?
Cheers for the quick reply.
Excellent app! Bought pro few days ago.
Makes file transfer so easy!! Thanks!

1. Yes.
2. Multiple files are not supported by most Android browsers, but are supported by the app. It works on any desktop browser or even iOS devices. There might be a capable browser though. Let me know if you know one! Whole folder structures are supported when the folder is zipped before uploading.

Anyone with a Nexus 6 getting FC at times? After entering device name and password, the app FC. Then after initiating a send it will FC. Happens like clock work, even after uninstalling and reinstalling. Sent a bug report.
No issues on my One and N7 so far though.

I had a thought about a way to send an entire directory (and subs), taking into account the android file browser limitation:
Suggestion: A special 'Send Directory' button specifically for phones. (perhaps this button would detect when a phone/tablet was being used versus a normal PC.)
This button would request a single file to be nominated (just like in single file mode) except that it would truncate the target file's 'URL/ sdcard-path' and send all files (including the directory that the file was located in and all subs of that directory).
Is that possible?
Also, do you plan on releasing a dark theme?
Thanks again

what's in my mind is a lock screen app that work with 2 Pin code
the first pin code will open the phone normally
the 2nd pic code will format everything in the phone ...
so the idea is if someone force you to open your phone you give him the 2nd pin code witch will format the phone and delete all your personal information

I read your request once again and I realized that this is not what you managed to get! To do what you want is needed Gravity Box! But Xposed doesn't work on 5.1, isn't it?!
First of all you have to download an app called Secure Settings. You can find this app on PlayStore -> Secure Settings on PlayStore
It Will Allows you to enable some not available features on Tasker (on Lollipop).
Once you have downloaded Secure Settings you have to create a simple task.. In this case "Mobile Data Toggle".
Open Tasker
Go inside the section of Task and create a new Task
Tap on + to add a new action and choose Plugin -> Secure Settings. This is what you will see
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
[*] Then tap on "Actions and then Mobile Data. See here: 1-
2-
[*] Now you have to activate "Toggle".
[*] Go back and choose an icon for the task. 1-
2-
[*] Now the task is ready, what you have to do is to create a Widget that will trigger this task. Close Tasker (Going back until gets closed) and go on your home screen
[*] Make a long press on your home screen and select Tasker as Widget
as you can see there are two Widget - select the first one "Task"
[*] You will be asked to choose a specific task, select the one you have created
[*] Once you have selected the task that has to be performed go back until tasker gets closed - on your home screen you will see the new Widget (with a 1x1 dimension) click on it and Enjoy it!
Did you have problem creating the Task?
Here you can download 2 solutions:
Install the standalone Application. Note: it requires Secure Settings to work but not tasker. Download it here Mobile Data Toggle
Import the XML Task. Download it Here Mobile Data Toggle.
I hope you have find my post useful!

I've got an Olympus EP5 camera which can be controlled via wifi by an app called OIShare. I've also got very limited hand movement making pressiing the camera shutter button very difficult. Using Tasker and AutoVoice it's quite doable to say the magic trigger word and have the phone take a picture on the camera - if the screen is on.
Keeping the screen always on will suck through battery. Turning on/off the screen and loading app will create delays. Not good when out and about for hours looking to capture 'a moment' at quick notice.
I'd like to control the camera with the phones screen off. Clearly this can not be done by a tap command; the screen is blank. Is it possible though using 'Intent'?
If so, great but if not please let me know and put me out of my misery and save my hair .

AdHell 2
Code:
*** Disclamer
I first want to note that the original developer did not help me in any way with this, he did not provide me with the code (it was found from public forks from his Github), nor guidance on modifying the app. I do not want to cause him any further inconvenience or trouble with his job.
I simply forked the code and made some minor changes, so majority credit goes to the original dev, but as he is now dissociated from the project any other developers (including some of the contributors from the first version) are welcome to help continue. I take no responsibility for any issues this app may cause with your device.
Introduction
Hi everyone, since Adhell was removed from the Play Store and the code was taken down from Github, I (not the original developer) got a copy of the publicly available code and made some changes to remove dependence on the original developer's server and removed the subscription on the new permissions feature. It was a very quick and dirty edit, but it was just to ensure the app still works once the original developer takes down everything related from his website, which the app relies on.
The way this app works was to utilize Samsung's Knox framework which included a Firewall feature that allowed ads to be blocked. The additional features such package disabling and permission blocking were also done through Knox. In order to make a Knox compatible app, a license has to be used, and the only way to get one is from Samsung unfortunately. It is fairly easy to get a "development" key from Samsung which lasts for 1-3 months (I believe) and so I have modified the app to require each user to enter their own key. I know this is not ideal, but it will keep working like this, and it reduces threat of Samsung revoking the license and disabling the app entirely for everyone. If any developer wants to help me rework the app, please let me know, help is definitely appreciated, and my code is still open source and available on Github. I'm a broke college student with very little time to work on this, and am by no means a professional dev, so I apologize in advance for slow updates and probably little in the way of additional features. I will do my best to keep it working.

Installation instructions
So to procure your own "developer" license, you need to go to this link, and either register for a Samsung account or sign into your own, and then enroll as a developer. After that proceed to this link and generate a Knox Standard SDK Enterprise license key with a generic "key alias" (I recommend something like "testing", not something like "adhell", just in case). Copy over the key to your device somehow (email, Join, Pushbullet, etc.) as it is pretty long. When you open up the new Adhell 2 app, you will see a popup asking you to enable device admin access, enter a key, and then enable license, do the three steps in that order. If the key is not entered correctly, the license will not activate.

This link will randomize the package name to stop Samsung from blocking the app. Every 2 minutes you can rebuild the app, but please only do this if the current version stop working.

followed your steps. got my key. enter it in and it fails to register. what is the middle button for in the popup? submit knox key i think it says. i have tried reinstalling it a couple times. i have used both the really long knox key samsung gave me and the much shorter key. i have tried with and without pushing the middle button before the activation button. nothing seems to work. no idea what i am doing wrong here. verizon s8+ running unlocked firmware.
Edit: Just went and got an enterprise key as someone on reddit suggested that was the correct key to use. No difference. Still won't activate.

I have the same issue. I have made sure that the license type is Enterprise (the first tab on the Samsung site). The 'Submit Knox' key never grays out, and the 'Activation' takes almost a minute before it comes back as failed.
I have Adhell 1.7.3 installed but deactivated. Don't know if that matters.
Submitted and got 2 keys.. neither one of them works..

Working on figuring out the License activation fail everyone, the same version (same .apk file) was working just fine yesterday and testers had no issues. Seems like Samsung might have done something on their end. Give me a little bit to see what's going on.
Activated fine on my end.
Nice keeping an eye on this.

Ok everyone, it seems like Samsung is blocking my app specifically. When I change the package name (basically the internal app identifier) the license verification goes through just fine. I just tested on two devices and it worked just fine once I changed the package name, and if I change it back the verification breaks again. I'll see if I can find a permanent fix to stop them from blocking the app, but in the mean time I'll post up a new .apk with a changed package name. Keep in mind, Samsung seems to be monitoring this, and it will likely stop working again.
Sammy has people working hard on Sunday. Already none of my keys are working. SDK (either long or short) nor Enterprise are working.

Do you mean the original app from the play store? I do believe that is still working, if you find the apk online (it's posted everywhere), problem is it's reliant on some stuff from the original dev's servers, so when that goes down, anyone trying to install will have trouble. That's why I made this. But Samsung doesn't like me apparently.

It's actually starting to look silly how hard they are trying to stop people that don't care about their useless assistant that does only one thing - wastes resources and a potentially useful physical button. Button remappers first and now this.

I have been trying to find a way to reactivate the full options for the lock screen. There is a way to do it with root access, by editing the settings menu...I just haven't found a way to do it yet. With that said, I have found an Activity Launcher that runs with ROOT access and have also installed it into /system/priv-app. In doing so I have been able to find the settings to enable ALL the lock screen lock options. In addition to the PIN number and SLIDE to lock methods, you also get to:
- Enable lock pattern
- Enable lock password
- Disable lock screen
In order to activate these options, you have to be rooted. However, these are items I believe reside somewhere on the Secure Settings level (system, secure or global). Amazon just does a good job of hiding these settings and the launcher application is the only one I have found that is able to access these options. If you don't have root access, you can still visually see the settings fragment. I do believe this feature can be enabled without having a rooted tablet. If the right fragments can be found, the activity could possibly be launched via ADB or ADB shell. It's also possible another activity and intent type launcher can perform these actions.
1. Download, install and open 'Activity Runner' from the play store.
2. Scroll the list until you see 'Settings' and tap on it. Scroll down the list further, until you see the SECOND 'Unlock Selection' item. It will be in listed as red and the fragment/activity/intent below it will say '.ChooseLockGeneric$InternalActivity'. Tap it.
3. Profit!! :highfive::good::victory: These tablets are so much fun to 'hack.' Thanks again for following everyone! :highfive:

Just tried it and seems your must buy premium version of the app to use root functionality. Thanks. Nice find!

Got to test this is an unrooted tablet, launching via ADB shell. Also can you please check what happens when you type in a root shell;
am start -a com.amazon.device.settings/.DevoProdConfigActivity
This should kickstart a top secret Amazon activity, I don't think any user ever started it... :cyclops:

Did it work on an unrooted tablet?

This activity launcher won't display the fragment paths that are in red. Did you happen to find it? I found the Java source for the fragment. I just have no clue how to 1) edit actual .Java files 2) compile or 3) create an app from Java. Of all I can currently do, I have much trouble with Android studio. I just don't understand how to use most of the actual program. Still learning that part.

I don't think that the fragments need to be declared in AndroidManifest.xml. I just have some old skills to get an app up and running from Android Studio. Anyway, it's possible to look into the .java file of the Activity to cherry pick the fragments.
And, about the top secret activity I mentioned about, to start that from UID=system you need the permission DISPLAY_DEBUG_UI. Maybe you can start that from UID=0(root).

Can't get an activity launcher app to run with those permissions. However if you hAve a rooted device, Activity Runner in the OP will launch almost every activity. I have looked over several of the activities in that app. Took me a few hours to read just about all I'm able to launch. I was able to launch the dev/prod mode in Amazon Device Settings. Though I'm not sure what it does and was too scared to try lol

Can't find unlock, maybe I uninstalled a system app early. Do you know which one it could be?
Settings, Home, is good though, to set the launcher to something else. I'm hoping this will fix my launcher problem

Hi, Are you using Activity Runner? The activity mentioned doesn't show up in Activity Launcher. And, the activity mentioned is a part of Settings app, you couldn't have uninstalled it?. And, Good Luck!
sorry I see it now, I have to pay for premium first

I know and totally forgot about having paid for it. I found Activity Launcher that has been modified to run with root, but it still doesn't see all the activities.

Applications Info (com.majeur.applicationsinfo) can list all activity.
But can't launch as root permission.
So you can using Terminal Emulator:
$ su
# am start -n 'com.android.settings/.ChooseLockGeneric$InternalActivity'
'Activity Runner' became `Activity Manager` and new link is:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.activitymanager
Not working after paying, great. Ganz choose None or Slide...

Just did this and it was the final piece in setting up my HD10 for home automation duties. Thanks for posting this.
Not sure why but when I load up Activity Manager and click on settings / .ChooseLockGeneric$InternalActivity I do not get that option to
use Lock Type: None ... I only get the basic 4 options ( swipe, pattern, pin, password )
I am using Activity Manager PRO v2.4.1 (2049) on a ROOTED 10"
Any thoughts ? What version of Activity Launcher is confirmed working for this trick ?
Thank you

It has to do with your personal settings. I'm not sure which ones though. It happens to me sometimes and I haven't been able to determine what causes it. You might be better off installing my settings apk. If you do it's recommended to install the framework too.
