Replace the charging animation when your phone is turned off with a useful program - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.nomoarpowah
This apparently works for Samsung galaxy phones so it should work for our phone.
it can do useful stuff like turn your phone on automatically when its fully charged or at a set time which is useful because you can keep your phone off and save battery while you're sleeping and have the alarm still wake you up

I tried/used this on GB, but it hasn't been working for me under ICS. I'd definitely appreciate hearing if someone can get it running on the current crop of ICS ROMs!

I was a huge fan of NoMoarPowah when I was on stock. I used it as kind of a do-not-disturb feature at night.
This post from the NoMoarPowah XDA thread doesn't look promising for ICS support:

The app cannot support CM9. It requires Samsung system files to work, and they will not be present in anything from the CM tree.

Maybe on MIUI it works as it is stock based...

Hey,
Any luck in finding a useful alternative to charging animation. I am also looking for a solution for long.

Sorry I don't own this phone anymore. As far as I know, the app I linked is the only way to change the charging animation screen for this device, and it only works on stock samsung firmware.

Stay awake help on JVO

Hello, I am running the stock JVO rom on my capitavate with xcal's kernel and root. I would like my screen to stay on while in my car docking cradle. I know that Samsung removed the option to enable stay awake from all the 2.3.3 roms. I have tried a few different widgets to enable stay away but they do not work in my cradle. They do work when connected to my computer or the AC charger. Can anyone offer advice or assistance on how to get my screen to stay on? Thank you.

I had the same problem. Unfortunately it is a problem with all 2.3.3 ROM's. The only thing you can try would be to set the phone to stay awake when charging.

He is on a custom ROM which has that option.
framework-res.apk\res\values\integers.xml

I changed it in Serendipity VII, if you care to try it.

Hi MikeyMike, Thank you for that information. I am not a developer so, I'm unsure when you ment by that XML file and tag. Are you suggesting that I can change it on my current stock ROM or suggesting I try out our Serendipity VII? If I can change it on my current rom could you please explain it a bit more? (FYI - I've been considering trying S-VII, you do great work.)

Simpler less dev intensive approach.. Grab a copy of 'Extended Controls' from the market.. Create a new toggle whose name is 'Screen on When Charging.' Toggle it (the widget) on and your screen will then stay on anytime the device is charging. Had to use this when I was on JVO as the screen going off while the phone was on my desk but plugged in irritated me to no end. Just checked and extended controls is $.99 in the market..

If you decompile the .apk with APK Manager, there will be an .xml file that you can edit with a text editor like Notepad++.

Hi MikeyMike01, I took you up on your suggestion to try Serendipity VII, instead of me hacking around in APK and XML files. First of all I like serendipity alot, but my phone still goes to sleep in my car dock. One thing I noticed was that when my phone is connected to my wall charger it will say "Charging (AC)". When its connected to my computer it will say "Charging (USB)". When its connected to my car dock it just says "Charging". I don't remember it saying that when on Froyo. I think it used to say "Charging (AC)". Do you think that might have to do with the problem I'm having with my phone not staying awake in the Samsung official car dock?
I don't have a car dock so I can't do more than speculate.

My Screen keeps turning on by itself!

when i have my phone locked and im not even touching it, every few minutes the screen will turn on and sit there for around 30 seconds then will turn back on a few mins later, this is very annoying and im sure uses a ton of battery over the course of a day, im running leedroid 3.1.2 and it used to do it on 3.1.1 so idk if its rom related

Check for any stray apps. Install "Battery history for GB" app from market and check for apps that are using "wake lock" excessively.
I had a similar problem with my inspire. It seemed to be caused by a faulty usb cable. After I plugged my phone into my car charger it started working fine.
I have an Inspire 4G with the same problem. I doubt that it is an app, because I changed the rom 3 times so far. And with every one of them, the problem persists. Anyway, i'm trying the Battery log now.

Do you have any apps that you set up profiles for, i.e. Llama? They can be buggy sometimes with the screen commands.
I have the same problem. Going to have to waste my upgrade in august for a new inspire. I am trying battery history for gb now. IF anyone has any ideas, please lets us know. This is absolutely ridicolous.

annoying screen randomly turning on
Hey I've been having the same issue, my SGS I9000 international version keeps turning the screen on by itself randomly, I've flashed my phone back to stock Eclair 2.1 and then I went to Froyo, Cyannogen mode 7, ICS rom which I forgot the name of it, and then I'm running on the new value pack now which is 2.3.6XXJW4 however nothing has solved this damn problem, my screen keeps turning on and it's killing my battery, help please..!! I've tried to see if the sensor is not working, however I believe it's something else.. please let me know if someone has fix for this..!
I'm running LeeDroid v5.1.1 and haven't experienced this yet. I've been running it close to 2 weeks now with no real issues. Just an occasional lag spike on wake up.

[App] Power Switch - screen off by closing case

Guys, im the developer of Power Switch, an app that switches off your tablet's screen when you shut the case.
The main thread can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277712
Ive had reports of problems with the pad's light sensor, so would appreciate some debugging feedback.
You can use the lite version to test, it has all the features, but just wont save as much juice.
Thanks in advance. Feel free to reply here or in the main thread, i read both regularly!
Great idea. Does it require root?
Also, it would have been awesome if it could wakeup automatically as well, like the iPad smart cover.
No, no need for root.

That is a mechanical function. It is possible on android too, but it would kill the battery as you could never really put your device to sleep.

Who cares about a little battery juice? The cool factor would be awesome. Maybe as a timed option? Like 5 or 10 min. or more "auto wake" feature.
Fortunately, everyone cares.

I don't, and Im sure there are others that would like the option. As a developer who is trying to sell an app you might consider not generalizing your customer, rather say its not a feature I can, or wish to add to this app. Your app does have potential. Thanks for your efforts.
Ill keep that in mind. However, as a developer with some experience i still think everyone cares. Everyone who understands just what would be happening if the teblets screen would be off but it wasnt sleeping.

Good idea.
Please do!
I think the auto wake up function would be great! Maybe you could make it as an option, people who like it can turn it on and who doesnt like it can turn it off.....
Installed it last night. Set the Auto Shutdown to 5:00, left most other defaults on. (Enable Sensors/Use Light Sensor). Plugged into AC. Closed screen and could see screen was shutting down. After 5:00 would be off. In morning (closed screen) fired it up and at full charge.
Quite nice! Anything else I should look at in the app?
I wouldnt mind if you had a good test of the sesitivity defaults...
I couldn't get it to work on my Transformer, it would only work the first time after that I had no luck getting it to register the closed lid, nor my hand covering the sensor..

Set Automatic Rules to stop after 5 minutes and enable Battery Save Mode, Works fine for me.
guys the point is that galaxy s7 goes to sleep while its on always-on screen but this app just give you a black screen and its like running an app, cpu is on and it drains battery like you are using you phone not like you are putting it aside

Nice. Will give it a try later.
apk. super, but consumption battery is big some other apk. with Always on?
I used this app, I think this app might be bugging my lockscreen out. I use the fingerprint sensor to unlock my device, when I do, I have a rare, once a day or so bug that "unlocks" to a black screen. I have to force reboot my phone to get around it. I have it disabled until I can figure out why.
Very good i will try
