God Mode (From Windows 7) Works on the Surface RT. - Microsoft Surface

My entirely non-techy but for some reason reliant on God Mode wife suggested I see if it worked on my new surface.
It does (or did the title give it away?)
For those that forgot:
◦Create a new folder anywhere on the Desktop.
◦Rename the folder by pasting this name exactly as it appears (copy it first):
◦GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
So far I have discovered you can add the "traditional" icons to the desktop and their is a TFTP client that can be installed.

Convenient, but - for the record - nothing that can't be done elsewhere. It's a useful aggregation of advanced features, but I don't think it actually exposes anything that can't be reached from some other way. Windows Features, for example, can be accessed by simply typing "features" into Start (it's under the "Settings" category).
Not to say that this isn't a cool hack, but it doesn't actually give you any more power - just convenience.

As I am experiencing the same problem, what happened to your Office icon on the Start bar? I ask, because mine have gone plain white as well

It happened to me when I updated to the full version of office. Remove them, then go back to the metro start screen,] and right click the office icons to pin them to the task bar.

WM6.5 Messages panel - what is the name? (Samsung Jack)

I flashed my Jack with WM 6.5 recently and loaded the Titanium panels. But I am not seeing an "all in one" panel for Missed calls, Email, Text, and Voicemail. Instead I have a panel for each one.
I checked out the list of apps/panels in the 3vo ROM's for the Excalibur and nothing seemed to be the panel I'm after.
See middle Screenshot at the bottom of first post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523718
Or just below the Wifi panel in this SS.

Anyone know where I can find the stand alone installer? Or help narrow down the search terms? The results I am getting haven't helped find it yet.
I was able to find the info in the Titanium CPR file on the 3VO rom, so I copied that over to the file for my phone. It works!
I just can't find the icons though, I've got red x's on the condensed view and 2 of 4 icons in expanded have red x's. I've looked over the text a lot and I just can't find where they are pulling from.
Looking at the image keys in the registry I see the following:
Value Name: chNotification_cv_email
Value Data: 2003
I'm guessing that is pulling from a DLL, but I am stumped on where to find the name of the DLL so I can view the contents to pick new icons.
Have you tried checking with CHomeConfigurator? I have both the combined panel and the individual ones...
U must install titanium notifications plug

Is there a way to reorganize messaging items/get rid of a particular item e.g. voicemail?

I think you would have to edit the CPR file and comment out the items you don't want to use. If you're editing the CPR file, make a copy for safe keeping in case you mess it up.
Commenting an item out should be easy enough, you'll probably have to adjust the spacing afterwards to get things to appear neatly again.

Extended Power Control Widget?

Does anyone know where to get the extended power control widget I've seen in a few people's screen shot?
It has seven toggles instead of 5 I think. I saw one in the market but it's not the same as the one I'm looking for.
bump........
U mean switch pro ?

Nice, thanks. Do you know if there are any transparent or cyan colored versions out there?
EDIT: Actually the one I want is on post 2 of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=692609
... ideally with cyan colored dots.
It already comes with 3 versions, semi-transparent/completely transparente/original. U can always theme it ur self Unzip, change images and resign. Or if u got windows u can use this apktool script i made today...makes modifying apk's easier.
Here
Its a batch file so windows only.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.extendedcontrols
Here is link for extended controls
Thanks guys. I think I like the no background version of Switch Pro. I have to learn how to modify these things so I can get cyan dots instead of green dots.
Its a png inside the apk. Use the tool to extract it. Then inside the out folder find the png, it'll b a green dot, modify it then select options 2,3...

i signed up for the appbrain website and chose extended controls. when i go to my phones app and i sync extended controls shows up but when i press "install" it takes me to the market and cant find the app. what am i doing wrong? thanks for any help
It means the application isn't available in your country's market.
Use MarketAccess to make the market believe you're from another country, eg the US
Extended Control is a protected app and won't show up on Froyo, well for some people running Froyo I suppose. You'll need to do this [MOD] Fix Protected Apps not Showing on FroYo
I had the same problem with the same app today. I did the push and was able to buy the app soon after.

Help determine that the utility?
This is an upper bar notifications custom firmware. Has two tabs System and Notification. A simple firmware has only one tab Notification. How to make a second?

[Q] Copy and Paste

Hi guys,
Sorry if it is a stupid question, but I am new to Android.
Just got my wonderful piece of kit, but am struggeling to find out how to copy and paste text.
Could anyone help?
long press on the text you would like to copy and you will see two markers and a pop-up menu.
also long press in the area you would like to paste, you'll see pop-up menus too
those menus are customizeable so they're different from app to app..but should be ituitive enough to use anyway..
@magicpork
Thanks a lot-this works!
Now am busy trying to figure out how to copy and paste files.
I have tried to copy them from the file manager and paste to the SD card, but when I made a long press in the area I wanted to paste it too-it grabbed the files which already were there.
errgmmm...help?
Does anyone know how can I copy and paste files (not the text).
Help please
the top-right button in the file manager is paste!
Download File Manager HD (Honeycomb) by Rhythm Software from the market, makes copying files a breeze.

Thanks for the info-I'll try that
I have the same issue...anyone can help with this??
Is there a keyboard app that moves the cut and copy and paste down from the top while typing to the text area-like the iphone- so I don't have to reach up there to perform? I was like a machine on the iphone-I suck on this s3! I recognize the superiorty of the droid but its little thkngs like this-having to stop and use two thumbs- that make me twice as lesselessefficient....see? This Sucks!
Any Ideas out there for what I'm looking for?
THANKS!

It is app dependent, some apps put the paste in line with the text area like the iPhone, others it is at the top.
You can try an app like ThumbKeyboard, it has an option to add some of your own softkeys. Here is my Thumb Keyboard setup on my 10" tablet for Portrait mode:

Chrome: download manager mess up and help disabling link disambiguation popups

Hello.
About the “download manager mess up” take a look here (grossness warning!): Can't STOP a built-in manager download in an acceptable way… :-/ (v56, v57-Beta) @ Google forums
Briefing for documenting purposes: built-in download manager intercepts certain download links' files, I guess because of file extension (apk files not captured, for example). However, built-in download manager is deprived from file download cancelling ability. Had to delete all of the application data to stop the mess.

}
In essence, a dodgy issue. Not overly critical in most situations, of course, but certainly dodgy. Better do not tap/click on overkill sized files, or you'll regret it.
With regards to the link disambiguation popups, this is something I've wished to get a solution for some time already, to no avail. So let me explain:
There are sites on which no popups are seen. Example: this very forum. You can tap where you want or need without popups. If something's a little cramped, just a little bit of zoom is all you may ever need. I use “force enable zoom” and you should also if not, as you may guess.
There are certain sites, though, where this is stuff gets in the way. Notorious example: eBay desktop mode (I've included the desktop site redirection to make your life easier in case you are using the @#$% mobile user agent).
It is obvious that there's something in these damned sites' coding which forces Chrome to go into “link disambiguation popup” disgusting mode. So, if any of you may know some sort of way to prevent the browser going disgusting mode, God would be grateful. Maybe some sort of mod and/or app? Any feedback/contribution welcome.
Mostly wrote this because I've recently revisited the Firefox browser, and I've been on the verge of switching to it. Too bad Firefox has 0 bookmark management capabilities.
Have a good time fellows.
Cheers
