Sorta feel silly for asking and posting this but its bothering me lol. The dots on the top that show what screen your on when you swipe left or right. Well i thought they faded out when you swiped to a screen and stoped. Mine sre there all the time. Did or do they fade out or am i losing it? I installed a home app and uninstalled because it messed things up. If the dots did fade how can i turn this back on? Also was looking around for away to do a factory reset but cant find where to go? Thanks for the help

This looks like a home app feature. Check the preferences of ur home app. Need not reset phone when tinkering with ur home app can do the trick. If ur home app, does not support it u may have to switch to a different home app that has this feature.
On stock touchwiz forthe captivate the dots do not disappear.
This is my captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.
Have stock home not using an app. Its what came with phone. Someone doesnt know were i can find where to mess with home options? Thanks

The dots don't disappear for a reason. You can tap on a dot and go directly to that page without having to swipe through them. That's why they remain visible.
You can't make them disappear, no matter how hard you try haha. If your looking for customization I would suggest ADW.launcher or launcherpro. Both are on the market and I really enjoy both. If you have other questions feel free to ask

Just an FYI, if and when and depending on how the Froyo update comes for the Captivate, if you are running a non-stock launcher you may have issues getting the update.

I do have a question since I cannot post in the development forums, yet.
Does anyone have issues with the wallpaper randomly reverting back to the stock ICS wallpaper?
I can't seem to keep my wallpaper on my home screen for very long.

Has anyone figured out what causes the keyboard to stop working in messaging?
I can hit the first letter, and the keyboard will bring up predictions for what I press, but it won't enter any text into the field.
To fix it, I have to back out of the conversation and return to it to be able to type again.
It does it with all keyboards, too.
I can't exactly figure out what causes it to stop working. Before I thought it was locking the phone in the middle of typing, because it would sometimes be unresponsive after unlocking, but I've also had it be fine after unlocking, and I've also had it stop responding in the middle of me typing.
That's the only issue I've had with AKOP, apart from the wifi toggling thing, but that's a well-known bug.

I use Swiftkey X, but it will do it with the stock keyboard as well. It doesn't seem to be a problem with the keyboards, since they'll load up predictions for whichever button I press, but it just won't actually type in the field.

Ooo I think I know what you men because I too have had these little annoyances before.... what I did when it started was kill EVERYTHING LOL yes literally kill all of the things... I even killed the keyboard/sms process since that's where it happened most at. After doing that my issue was usually fixed. Also found that I just type too fast sometimes.... it honestly can b a number of things actually, let me know how this works.

Sucks to hear, i'll hold off for now
I have been getting a little less battery life with ics...but nothing shocking. I get anywhere from 10 to 16 hours...but that is the same I have been getting with gb...even froyo. I do a lot of reading and listening to the radio...and I always have a charger near by for those occasions when the battery gulps instead of sips.
OK, maybe a dumb question. Coming from GB Roms, I am use to "My Files". On this ROM where do I find something that works the same, or what is the format?

This app is now outdated. I am going to re-write it completely from scratch. I will obviously include the standard features, but is there anything else you users would like me to add?
Very Cool ..
Thanks for the update
Cool, thanx for updating this little gem!
I used it but it wasn´t working more for me with ICS 4.0.3, so i switched to another app, but always liked the option to have the screen go a bit darker and not stay with full brightness.
Havent looked at your improved app but could you make the constant notification tick/untickable? I never experienced that the app stopped working, so i wouldn´t need this and i hate to have any icons in the notification bar
The autostart option is VERY nice to have! :good:
EDIT:
Just installed and saw there is already an option for the notification icon, great!
Working very nice so far, will monitor it and give you some feedback during the next days.
Thanx again, really nice to see this app is liked by other people as well.
Just wanted to say thanks for sharing that app....

This sounds like a great app that could be well used on certain apps that you want the screen to stay on, well done to both developers, now I am wondering as a noob and still on a learning curve, will this app work on a Galaxy GT-S5830i rooted device and what would be the best way to install.
It would be great to get some advice on this. :good:

First and foremost i want to give ALL CREDIT to the original developer of this amazing app. KeepScreen is developed by AxDroid LLC and hosted for free on the play store.
It has been forever since they last updated it and they were not responding to my emails. Their website also returns with an error so i am not sure if the company is no longer in business or if they just abandoned the app. (Its ashame honestly i love this app)
But there were a few quirks with the app. For instance, the app had to be manually started every single time you rebooted your phone.
Secondly i read people experienced the app would just stop working.. (I havent experienced this at all yet) But im guessing its due to android cleaning things up to free RAM.
Well i took it on myself and i was able to fix the first issue. After first launching the app and selecting the applications you wish to always have the screen stay on, and then launching the service, after a reboot the app will start again and you dont have to manually start the service.
The second issue i am currently trying to solve by placing a constant notification in the status bar. That is the only way to keep android from cleaning and killing processes.
The app is truly amazing, i have the Galaxy S3 and it has that "Smart stay" thinger where if you are looking at the screen the phone will stay on, well when im watching TV and i look up from my phone for a single second, they screen shuts off. I hate that, so i actually just use KeepScreen, set what apps i wish to always stay on, and then they stay on so long as that app is open and displayed on the screen.
Just download and install using a file browser.

Yesss this is what I have been looking for so long and I am supper excited to get this on my note that I am getting back tomorrow
It work on my Neo V. TNX
Just two points for me:
Adding a widget to enable and disable the service and it would be fantastic.
Stopping the service when the screen is turned off (or alternative) because I saw my screen turn back alone (synchronization of a monitored application?)
Thank you for your work.
will try it , i was waiting for this kind of application , thanks

It has a listener receiver for screen off. Sometimes if you have an app open that you set to stay on all the time, and you manually shut it off, it turns back on. That's just because the service didn't shut down fast enough.
And I don't have source code. I doubt I could add a widget.
However I could write my own app that force close the service. (Almost like a task killer) but it won't be able to start the service.

I really loved this app when it first came out, but it fell by the wayside for various reasons.
Thanks for picking up the slack here! You'd think this is something they could actually build into android at some point. Apps that when on-screen don't let the phone blank the screen.
Tried it and it works great! =)

I like this apps, it keeps my google map always on. However I need to manually start the apps on each power up. Any way to have an option to auto start? Second nice to have feature is to sort these apps selected at the top.

I've provided pics but this mysterious buuble keeps appearing at random, at the bottom of the screen yo. its some sort of pull up app drawer. I can't figure out how it keeps popping up or how to tremove it hahaha not trying to be funny anymore! its annoying. gets In the way of the keyboard and whatnot.
this must be a feature of beans ROM, I'm thinking. I dunno tho, a Google search came up with nothing.

hold back to get rid of it.
it's multiwindows ported from the note2, I find it completely useless and hate it as I use longpress back to kill apps, I can use menu button instead, but i will NEVER use the "feature" on this phone.
it sucks that rom devs are including it in ROMs, I'd much rather not see it at all or just have it as an add-on instead of forcing it on us.
I honestly never feel the need to have 2 apps open taking up half the screen each, I can just do one at a time, but I can see how it could be nice on the note II with the s-pen.
I did order a bunch of cheapy pens that work on the phone its pretty cool, but the multiwindow feature, garbage.
Anyone know of an app or mod to make my phone appear off without turning it off? Perhaps a toggle that requires you to press home and power to wake the phone? My phone has to be off at work and they check it.
There might be but is it really worth it? Sounds pretty strict, I doubt they would be happy about that. Good luck I guess.

Yes, worth it. You don't understand my job. My phone is aloud to be on most of the time, just not during certain tasks.
If its supposed to be off, and you don't wanna lose your job, why not just turn it off when you're supposed to?

There isn't any app or mod for something that is already in the phone. All you have to do is set your phone to silent/vibrate and press the power button to put it in deep sleep mode. Also press the power button again to wake the phone. To keep from getting text at work just turn off your data. Also what the hell is with you telling me to shut the f##k up when you are asking for an app or mod for a function that comes standard in ALL cellphones. Hell a toddler can figure that out.

but he also wants to have it be a combo to pull it out of sleep mode like screen off unless you hold power and vol up then push home button.
As far as i know there is no way to do this only ways to add more ways to wake it.
My other thought is how brain dead are the people checking your phone while your in a no cell zone... (Which they either do for good reason or they do just cause they don't want to deal with it.)
