New Power Control widget with one click 2G/3G toggling

Hello
I waited a lot of time for Google to release the support of a API to allow changing the 2G/3G with one click
As many others I would like to have the ability to do it without need to go to the settings.
Since Google didn't do it, I decided to do it by myself.
For that I modified the Phone and Setting applications that are delivered in the Cyanogen 6 version.
I made a new Power Control widget that now has the following:
Additional buttons:
- 2G/3G toggling (one click. With 3G only or 3G preferred)
- Ring mode toggling (Different possibilities)
- Screen timeout (15s/1min/5 min or 30s/2m/5Min)
- Toggle orientation sensor(enabled/disabled)
- Brightness levels (added different possible levels)
- Airplane mode enable/disable
- Lock Screen enable/disable
- Flashlight (screen mode works on Magic. on N1 it doesn't work=Don't use it)
Options:
- Can now be set with vertical layout
- you can choose different buttons on the widget
- possibility for a transparent widget
- possibility to avoid the widget "round corners"
- Option to change to 2G automatically when Mobile data is disabled
- Option to change to 3G automatically when Mobile data is enabled back
- Option to disable sync automatically when WIFI is disabled (avoids sync on mobile data)
- Option to enable sync automatically when WIFI is enabled back
- Option to choose if Ring mode is ON with vibrate or with sound
- Option to monitor the Data roaming (set the icon to red if enabled)
Other changes:
Changes done to GPS or Mobile Data in normal Settings page are now automatically synchronized in the widget.
Limitations:
- Setting page still very ugly
- Like the original one, limited to a single 4x1 widget.
- Button order is fixed
Before I contribute with my code to Cyanogen, I would like to see the feedback of other persons to confirm if this change is interesting or not.
If not, I would keep it just to myself.
It was only tested in my own HTC Magic. So I cannot guarantee that it will work 100%. If you want it, then use it at your own risk
Unfortunately it require changes of main Phone applications so I don't think it is possible to do it for all the Phones.
For now it will only work with CM6
I hope this is also interesting for several other people.
How to download:
update.zip file:
http://share1t.com/lg7prf

Screenshots:
My personal update procedure (flashmode):
Step 1:
Copy the update.zip (power_control_v2.01.zip) to the SD Card
Shutdown phone and boot it in recovery mode (On HTC Magic, press HOME + POWER to boot)
Step 2: (optional but recommended)
move the directory of your computer to were to store the backup files
Wait for the Recovery console
Connect the usb cable
adb.exe shell mount /system
Make a backup of the original files:
adb.exe pull /system/app/Settings.apk Settings_original.apk
adb.exe pull /system/app/Phone.apk Phone_original.apk
Step 3:
Select the Flash option on the recovery, and select to choose the file name
Select the power_control_v2.01.zip
Confirm and wait for it to finish.
Reboot the phone.
Step 4:
Add the new Power Control widget

Thank you verry much !

Is this the app from BK Mobility? Of so, this would be considered a WAREZ and you will get banned for it, because it is an paid app.

Well I'm not experienced in that.
Maybe the volume is already mounted?
If you really have boot the phone in Recovery mode (not the normal mode)
then check the following after the shell part:
ls /system/app
if you see a lot of files ending in *.apk, then the system is mounted.
You can see if you can execute the remaining operations (starting with the adb pull)
If not, then I don't know how you can push it. maybe in a next CM6 build it will be available.

You read my mind and made it work. Ive been looking for a widget that would do this properly. All other programs could disable apn but then it would mysteriously start up again on its own.
So far so good.
Thanks
Edit: my phone had a force close and when it rebooted, it had automatically reverted back to the normal power widget, with no sign of your version???

If we can have a toggle for the rest of the items it would be perfect.
Specifically hiding bluetooth, GPS and autosync since I never touch those.

You can select what options do you want to see. So you can hide these three and keep the other ones.

That is strange for me.
I can only see it happening if the original settings apk get installed on the system. I don't think there is any "recovery" rom for that.
What could happen is for it to loose the configured settings and revert to the default one.
There you will have two differences:
1- In my case, the disable mobile data is after the GPS icon. in the original one it after the wifi I think.
2- 2G/3G data is automatically changed when you enable/disable the mobile data.

Perfect
Good work !
Works fine on Vodafone Magic 32b with Chromatic Rom (4.2)
Thanks !

Can you add Airplane Mode toggle, please?

Wow cool
Gonna try it asasp, been looking for this aswell!

Is it workable if I change the phone.apk and settings.apk into yours and resign the ROM?
Cuz my Magic seems fail to mount...
Anyway Good Jobsince I hate the original CM's Power Control Widget much(the number of buttons are fixed to 7,quite hard for me to press the right one...)

Breaks / Bugs on CyanogenMod 7 Nightly builds for LG Otimus Pro C660

@varoon, @angenit ...
Please check and confirm the status of the following findings on your respective devices ...
1. Keyboard characters messed up
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
2. SWAP SUPPORT NOT ON KERNEL, please install swapper 2 and try enabling it on your devices.
- INCORPORATED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
3. Confirm if HOTSPOT(tethering) feature is missing from your settings.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
4. Choose 'external' from 'cyanogen mod settings - application - install location' install a couple of test apps from the market and check if they are installed on the external card.
- UNTESTED (I HAVE DARKTREMORS A2SD SO I CAN'T CONFIRM) !!!!!!!
4a. A2SD SUPPORT ON KERNEL EXPECTED.
- INCORPORATED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
5. On screen keyboard not launching when phone rotated sideways.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
6. Selected input launguages not toggling when globe key pressed on physical keyboard.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
6(a). The keyboard is back in action, however it needs some further tweaks, The virtual keyboard has to be switched off when in the right-side-up position as it is redundant in the presence of the physical keyboard.
Also while in the landscape position the virtual keyboard takes up the entire screen space leaving only 1-2 lines visible for input space, very problematic when trying to drag the cursor guide(which keeps jumping to the beginning of the text field) to the right place in the passage while editing.
Tweaks : The virtual keyboard should not exceed more than 50% of the screen and needs to have better cursor guide control
- BUG IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
7. SIM card contents like contacts and SMS'es are not getting populated(viewable) in phone book and messages. The setting for USIM is missing from contacts display setting.
- YET TO BE FIXED !!!!!!!
8. The speaker phone volume while on a call is very low, using the volume button increases the in-call volume and has no effect on the speaker phone volume,
. The sound settings however are maxed out for ringtone, ringer, media and alarm volumes.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
9. In the 'battery use' section of settings the % and the progress bars are not matching, the bar stands at zero for all the categories.
- YET TO BE FIXED !!!!!!!
10. When you turn off the android keyboard in settings, the settings are forcely closed and when you try to go to "phone state" it closes... after when you reboot the keyboard is turned on again.
- YET TO BE FIXED !!!!!!!
11. Video Recording is also not working in the latest build.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
12. Since Build 15, the camera is not working, the moment the camera is run the screen starts blinking/flickering rapidly with "ANDROID_" showing on the screen, this state cannot be exited the phone needs to be rebooted to get out of this flicker'y loop.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
13. Since after builds 11 and 12 the overall performance of the animations or screen responsiveness has deteriorated with build 15 noticeably laggy or slow.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
14. Also the physical keyboard response is choppy i'e, the instant a key is pressed, the letters display a split second later on the screen. So when one is typing a little fast, you see the letters on the screen not keeping up with the speed of key-presses. (PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS CHOPPINESS IS ONLY WHEN ONE IS USING THE PHYSICAL KEYBOARD !!! the android onscreen keyboard as a normal steady keypress response)
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
15. Wifi HotSpot connecting but internet not browsable !!! - since build 34
- TO BE FIXED !!!!!!!
Thnx,

1.- Yes, I also have the interchanged keys, the same ones.
2.- Not successful
3.- Now with build 6 I have tethering and hotspot and they work. When I used 5 it wasn't available.
4.- Well I think some of them are in the SD, but Gmail was in internal memory (I moved it with force2sd)
5.- No keyboard when rotating screen.
6.- No changes with language globe or mail and calendar keys.
7.- I couldn't say that because I don't save information in the SimCard, just Google and PC :S
8.- Yes, totally true what you state.
9.- My mistake, bars are in 0! but numbers are working fine.
If you find anymore just tell me.

Thanks Angenit,
BUT LET US KEEP THE POST SHORTER - please avoid using quotes for the entire posts.
No. 4 - Can you test a few more apps installation to confirm if this is totally fixed in your build ?
No 3 - Wifi Hotspots seems to have been fixed - Can you test it extensively ?
No 9 - seems to have been fixed in your build.
@ Angenit
Can you please test your build as my build is the 5th one.
@ Ricardo - If you are watching this thread !
@ others/anyone
Is there a way we can update to the latest build(daily) without having to replace it each and every time ? This way i hope to retain the apps already installed from build to build and save the trouble of installing 40 odd apps daily.
help is much appreciated !!!
thnx.

If you use Rom Manager and don't check nothing but Dalvik wipe (which is checked by default) you will keep your apps. I updated two times and I haven't lost any app.
4.- Yep I receive a warning from appmonster telling me I can move it, but when I go to check if that's true they are moved.
5.- Well I tested it for half an hour and it was successful.
6.- No wait, you're right, the numbers are fine (different values) but the bars are in 0.
Build 6 works fine and has the hotspot and tethering option fixed.

Sorry i did not understand...u mean...
'un-check' everything else and keep the dalvik cache 'checked' ?
or
'check' everything else and keep the dalvik cache 'un-checked' ?
thnx.

When you choose the build in the SD with Rom Manager you get 3 options. Leave them like the following:
*unchecked* Copy the Rom in use
*unchecked* Erase Data & Cache
*checked* Wipe Dalvik Cache

Hello from Serbia
Oh,build8 already..let d`l it

Well I've installed build 9, and there's no fixing of any of the mentioned bugs... It's just like 8.
I'm particularly interested in swap and the keyboard! I don't like it shows it when have to type because the reason why I got this device was the physical keyboard.

I wonder if the developers are even peeping on this thread, if yes !!! Please drop in a word saying so ... we know that u folks will be extremely tight ... not asking for anything more than a 'word' ... and we can't thank enough for what u guys pull-off !!!

On the keyboard issue, why don't you uncheck the android keyboard in the settings (you'll however get some errors - force closea) and you are good to go san the annoying keyboard.

New bug/break testing on build 9.......
others confirm if its pan your devices
as well before i add it to the main post.
When the Android Keyboard was unchecked
as reported earlier the settings need to be force-closed
a couple of times.
After disabling it i discovered the following...
When 'Compose New message(SMS) is opened, the physical keyboard does not
work on it. I need to re-enable the Android Keyboard in the settings to be able
to type into the Phone messaging(SMS) then the physical keyboard works on it.
waiting for confirmation across all modded devices.
cheers.

I have same problem as Aiamuzz described,there`s no way to type after disabling android kb.
Does anyone have a problem with sending mms?I was sending mms earlier,with this build (9) i cant,everything with settings for network operator is ok.
PS:I still have a problem with characters,can it be because i flashed phone with other version of fw,V10H_00?
Offtopic:where can i dl latest fw for Eastern Europe,in kdz format?
(I have V10H_00 and V10D_00)

Some ICS 4.0 bugs and quirks

NOTE: This is a list of bugs for STOCK (NON-MODDED) ICS 4.0.3 & 4.0.4 (LC4, LD2, and LE2) (Most bugs from the initial LC4 leak fixed after the two major version leak updates) from DesignGears.
If you have flashed to ANY OTHER CUSTOM ICS 4.0 ROM, PLEASE WRITE IN THE DEVELOPERS' / ROM thread.
1 - 03/26/2012: When selecting "Contacts to Display" and selecting CUSTOMIZE LIST > Selecting ONLY Google Contacts (EXCLUDE G+).
Then you start typing someone's name, it returns contacts in SIM card and on Google contacts.
2 - 03/26/2012: Autocorrect on the included "Android Keyboard" doesn't work by pressing spacebar.....like it had been in previous 2.3.6. Even when changing setting to VERY AGGRESSIVE. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
3 - 03/26/2012 [CONFIRMED] When deleting a message thread, the phone will freeze and turn into a blank screen (except notification bar) then the messaging app will close. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
4 - 03/26/2012: [CONFIRMED] When using the "PHONE" icon to bring up dialer, contacts tab is no longer associated in it.
5 - 03/27/2012: 50/50 Users report more sensitivity on the touch screen, some report lack of sensitivity of touch.
6 - 03/27/2012: HOW TO take screen shot: Press AND HOLD ... VOL DOWN + POWER BUTTON for at LEAST 1-2 SECONDS. You will then be prompted to view the screenshot in notification bar / indicator.
METHOD #2 of taking screenshots: Press and HOLD Power button + HOME key.
7 - 03/29/2012: Some users report when tapping "RESTART" or "SHUTDOWN" on STOCK Power-button option, the phone will freeze. Either you have it or you don't. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
7 - 04/02/2012: Users report echoing or unable to hear other party on an INCOMING call. This is a "hit or miss" bug.
8 - 04/02/2012: [CONFIRMED]Bluetooth stack in the new kernel has resolved a LOT of vehicle-to-android phone issue (static, drops, functions, etc.).
10 - 04/04/2012: [CONFIRMED BIG ISSUE] When creating a new contact in phone and setting it to GOOGLE CONTACTs; forcing a sync or auto-sync option will NOT push the contact to google servers for backup purposes. However, deleting or creating a contact while logged in on a full web browser will push it back to the phone via sync. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
11 - 04/09/2012: [CONFIRMED] There are known issues with stock email app. Syncing unread/read e-mails will not push back to exchange server email client. Also emails me not completely send and stays "stuck" in outgoing box.
FIX (Thanks dixit):
This google thread shows the official issue and show that it was fixed officially in 4.0.4.
https://code.google.com/p/android/is...etail?id=23534
If you scroll down to post 51 you will see there is a link where someone put the two 4.0.4 APKs from a Spring Nexus S 4G which fixes this issue as explained above. So just go to that link, download the two Email/Exchange APKs, put them in System/App, correct permissions, remove your two Samsung Native Email APKs, and that will fix the issue of emails being stuck in the outbox.
Here is the direct link to those two APKs off Post 51
http://files.devphone.org/404mail/
11 - 04/15/2012: [CONFIRMED] When adjusting ringtone level in SETTINGS > SOUNDS, the ringtone level will not lower or raise; it stays at one level.
FIX: Adjust via volume rocker while in any other system screen (Home, MMS, etc) BUT NOT IN-APP. *Thanks petrochemicals!*

Here's what I found and posted in another thread...
So far so good except a few things:
1) I hate the fact that "contacts" are no longer visible in the dialer. Now I need another icon that I rarely use. The only option appears to hit menu and select contacts from there.
2) The "power off" and "restart" options in the extended power menu (hold power button down) seem to lock up and freeze whenever I try to use one of these thus requiring a battery pull. Anyone else experiencing this?
3) Can't use built in hotspot tethering anymore. This is something that I use with my tablet often. Any solutions other than a 3rd party app? If not, what app is everyone using for hotspot tethering?
4) Why in the world don't the signal bars turn green once fully connected? It's driving me crazy because normally that means its not connected to your Google account. This is the first time I've seen this (of MANY different Android phones). - This appears to be an ATT thing as other carriers and phones change the signal bars color when its connected to your google account (as it always should be).

Grey bars, works for for me; turning green = same color as battery = confusion to some it is acting as a double icon of ur battery? lol
I don't get a freeze in the menu.... I'm assuming you're talking about the built-in menu not a modded one? I just use the one that came with the ICS.
Hotspot tethering, you'll have to wait for a dev to mod that unless you are wanting an app for it.

I can tell you that I got my portable hotspot to work. It gave me numerous error messages though when I first went to set it up and the screen freezes when I turn it on. I went back to home and back to the hotspot settings and the toggle remained on. I changed the default password to all 9s bc I was getting an invalid password error. After that, I connected my old iPhone to the Skyrocket wi-fi.
I used to use Barnicle Wi-fi tether but it doesn't work now. Is there a difference between the stock portable wi-fi hotspot program on the phone and Barnicle? Im just curious if Barnicle masked the fact that the user was tethering.

Yes, I'm referring to the built in power menu. I fixed permissions in CWM and still no go. Any ideas???

I find the keyboard to be a bit slow on the responsive side. Anyone else running into that or am I just trying to type too fast?

Perform a Factory data / reset?
I find the new keyboard fairly responsive vs the old one; I just thought i typed too fast for the old one lol. This one actually keeps up and Swype keyboard tapping works more fluent as well.

good job guys, keep up the troubleshooting so hopefully some devs will cook up a nice rom

I'll give that a spin. I did that once already to fix my home button problem, so I'll try and do another. But yea I use to use the ICS keyboard from the market on GB, and that was quick enough for me.

stuff I notice so far
I did notice the contact tab missing from dialer. The menu selected one doesn't allow right and left swipe for call/text. In the contacts app, the swipe works ok.
the only real problem for me, thus far, is when deleting SMS threads; messaging force closes.
Anyone else have that?
BTW thanks for starting this thread, wasn't sure where to post bugs - I think this may be usefull to keep them all in one spot.

Getting some odd behavior from Rom Mngr
Aside from other errors I got, when I ask ROM Mngr. to perform a task, I get a bunch of errors like "Messaging has failed," "Internet has failed," "com.google.xx" has failed. But then it goes and performs the request.
However! Whereas on 2.3.6 UCLA3, when requesting a backup via ROM Mngr., it would go straight to the backup whereas now, it goes into CWM and I still have to select Backup from the option there.

Deleting threads freezes my messaging also.

Noticed a new one.
Not getting pictures with messages now, too.
Nvm. Damn - I hate bug posts. They come, they go.

The only thing I've noticed so far is I don't seem to get LTE in my house anymore. Boo...

I'm having issues with audio files. I can't use either Google Play Music, Samsung Music Player or Doubletwist to play audio. It creates duplicates which I believe corrupt the file itself.

I get it too, but there is no need for a battery pull if it freezes during a restart.
Press and hold the power button and the phone will restart after a few seconds.
It's a leak, not an official release, so I fully expected bugs.
Face unlock crashes a lot for me.
It fails o power on the camera and then the keypad doesn't respond for PIN input.
Requires a reboot.

Did you do a complete ext4 wipe / format prior to ODIN ONE CLICK ?
Run factory data reset, then fix permissions and then reboot. Face unlock works perfect and pin input works.

I.Restoring your Network Connection (If loss of phone service, SMS, Data, or anything in that matter)
II. MIUI Tricks and Features
I. Restoring your Network Connection
The following is the method of restoring your Network I sent those who PM'd me. It may or may not work for you. More than likely if it doesn't work, and you've done everything it says, then you'll need to get a new phone from Verizon which is really easy by just flashing back to stock and showing them you don't have a connection.
Before we begin, please make sure that you're truly blocked out of getting service and it's not just a problem with MIUI (as we already know it is). Go back to TouchWiz, make sure the APNs are there in the Mobile Network Settings and tap to connect to one of the two, then use phone info to select LTE/EVDO/CDMA and reboot. Or do the same on CyanogenMod without Phone Info.
Please also make sure that your CDMA subscription is UIM.
If you happened to backup your EFS partition or have the folder or any part of it somehow, YOU CAN SKIP ALL of these coming steps and just put it back in the root directory of the phone / restore it / do whatever to get it back in there and then dial *2767*3855#. If you still don't have it working then feel free to follow along.
This issue on MIUI can cause a corrupted EFS folder, so like I said above if it doesn't work for you then it's permanently corrupted and you'll need a new phone. (Unless someone has another fix)
Here we go:
1. Backup any files wanted on your internal and external storage, including recovery backups.
2. Wipe your (If CWM, Battery Stats) Dalvik Cache, Cache, Data (Factory Reset), System, Internal Storage, and External Storare (SdCard).
3. Download the stock HE ODIN package or Root66, VRALEC bootchain, and VRALF bootchain
4. Take out your SIM card and SDCard
5. Reboot into ODIN / Download Mode
6. Open ODIN on your computer, Uncheck the Auto Reboot box, go to PDA and select the VRALEC bootchain, and flash, then WAIT for a green PASS. Typically takes 2-5 minutes after it says "RESET"
7. Unplug your device from the computer and click "Reset" at the bottom of ODIN.
8. (Plug your phone back in), Uncheck the Auto Reboot box, go to PDA and select the VRALF bootchain, and flash. Again WAIT for PASS.
9. Unplug your device from the computer and click "Reset" at the bottom of ODIN.
10. In the PDA slot, load the HE or root66 package and then to the left, check the following boxes:
Auto Reboot
F. Reset Time
Nand Erase All
Phone EFS Clear
11. Flash the package. Wait for it to start the boot animation and for ODIN to show PASS before unplugging. Always WAIT for PASS. If you don't get past the Boot Animation, but got a PASS, pull your battery and go into the Recovery by holding down Volume Up, Power, and Home. Then clear your Cache and Data / Factory Reset.
12. Reboot the phone, once it turns on let it lead you to the screen where it says you need a SIM and do as it says and TURN your device OFF.
13. Take your battery out and put your SIM back in.
14. Turn the phone on, go through the first two setup pages, and after you get your phone number, push the home button to skip the rest of the crap.
15. Follow the [Tool][Win] Repair IMEI & Roaming ERI issues Repair Guide and restore your IMEI (Even though you didn't lose it or if you did then yay we get to restore it!), and ERI.
16. After doing step 15 and the device reboots, turn it off once again, clear the cache and data in the recovery.
17. Reboot your phone, get through the first few screens again, then push home and now open the dialer again but this time dialing *2767*3855#
* All works credit goes to their respected developers and or authors. I only made the guide off of what I knew + info from others guides and others materials.
II. MIUI Tricks and Features
1. Long press on the icon in Toggles will launch the settings for that icon.
2. Press "Menu" key and "Volume Down" key at the same time to print a screen. The printed image is saved in the directory of MIUI in the sd card.
3. Press Home key at the first screen, you may preview screen thumbnails and add or move screens.
4. Slide from left to right to quickly delete a message or a call log.
5. You may hold down an icon by one hand to enter Edit Mode, and then use the other hand to slide the screen to move the icon to the target screen.
6. Your phone will vibrate when a call gets through.
7. Double tap the time zone to launch the Music Player when the screen is locked.
8. In the lockscreen, hold down the icon of Call or SMS, and you can enter the responding program.
9. Hold down Home key to quickly enable the torch when the screen is locked.
10. Click the contact image in Calls, SMS and Contacts, shortcut menus will pop up.
11. Long press on Search button will launch search via voice recognition.
12. Click menu in “System Update” to reboot and enter recovery.
13. The battery will display the percentage of left battery capacity by Settings>System>Battery>Notification Indicator Style>Percentage.
14. Long press on the Home button can go to “Program Manager”. Click the “Clear up” button at the bottom left to clear the extra processes in memory. And the system will inform you of the released memory and current available memory.
Note: System processes will not be cleared so as to ensure the normal running of the system.
15. How to set IP dialing?
MIUI ROM can add an IP prefix for the called number in a strange land. You may set it in Settings>Common>Calls.
You may also long press the contact item before dialing, and choose “Make IP calls” in the pop-up menu.
16. When you are not available to answer the phone, you may slide up the panel to reject the call and to send a message to the caller at the same time.
17. How to set custom ringtones?
Put media files into the Media/Audio/ringtones directory in the SD card, (If there is none of this directory, please create one manually) and then select in Sounds in Settings.
Note: there are three directories under Audio, corresponding to the following tones:
notifications--notification ringtones
ringtones--incoming call ringtones
alarms--alarming ringtones
Supported formats: MP3, WMA, WAV, Midi, etc.
18. As for those important messages you want to add to your favorites, you may long press the message in the pop-up menu and select "Favorites". You may switch to "Favorites" tab in the main SMS interface to view collected messages.
19. How to enable 720P to record a video?
Turn on Camera and switch to Video, select "High", and select "720P" in the pop-up menu of video quality.
20. How to quickly delete items?
You may slide from left to right on the item and click on the red "Delete" button when it appears.
21. How can I share my network to the PC or other terminals?
Firmware of Android 2.2 and above support the sharing of mobile phones to other Internet terminal in the following method:
Go to "Settings" -> "System" -> "Share mobile network", you may choose to share the Internet connection by USB tethering or setting up portable Wi-Fi hotspot.

Did you enable the LED Notifications / Light in the settings?

Yeah.....and made sure the LED supported the color I wanted, sent a text to myself and the notification appeared on my lock screen but no blinking led

[UNOFFICIAL][ROM][WIP] Vanir-Exodus 5.0 Lollipop for the Samsung SGH-I547 comanche

As a continuation of discussions from the super thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006388), I present the build thread .
Introducing Vanir-Exodus for the Samsung Rugby Pro (comanche):
What works:
- Phone: All works. We can hang up, recieve and send calls.
- SMS/MMS: Image messaging works perfectly.
- Wifi
- Bluetooth
- NFC
- GPS
What's still broken:
- Camera: this has been a fun one...
- Screen rotation: Just disabled in the kernel currently
Screenshots:
DOWNLOADS:
Vanir-exodus comanche
Credits:
- Kemonine96 - If you don't know by now, you haven't been around the comanche threads
- VanirAOSP team - Putting up with me as a pseudo-maintainer for so long
- Dave Kessler - Bringing up Exodus from the Vanir tree

Installation:
1. YOU MUST BE USING A RECOVERY THAT SUPPORTS SELinux. Currently, this is only the TWRP image I built before. I'll have the latest TWRP soonish.
2. BACKUP AND FACTORY RESET. Vanir checks for incompatible data and errors if it won't work. I won't answer "flash error" posts if you tell me you didn't format.
3. Flash the ROM, then GAPPs.
4. Enjoy the wonderment that is 5.0

Changelog:
1/10/15 - Fixed root access: The team was tinkering with a different root implementation, so gaining root became difficult. Root in this version works fine, but the UI is gone.

I really dislike sounding like a begger, but I could use your giys' help.
I'm currently building with 4GB of RAM, which as anyone who's source built can tell you, is quite low. Between the amount my onboard graphics eat, the file hosting and building, my RAM get's spent pretty quick.
What I'm currently looking at is a Gskill 16GB upgrade, which is about $140 max. This will not only speed up build times but help me run more things at once.
Never expected, always appreciated .
G.Skill Ares 16GB upgrade

Hey there. I thought I should post about the rom here instead of the super thread, no? Anyway, I have given it the two-three day daily test and it ran pretty good. The calls work great, recieve texts, e-mails fine. I took it out today and played soundcloud over bluetooth. It all ran great. But I do have a small list of things that didn't past the test.
These things are mostly small annoyances that I know will be fixed
The screen rotation only got a little annoying once it came to watching youtube videos, but I know that will be fixed
I still have some lost SD card issues and I can't really explain how it happens
The camera is still broken, but I know that will be fixed too
But I have had some big problems with the notifications. Its either that something is broken or I just haven't figured out Lollipop yet.
I can't seem to find an option to have the physical buttons flash as a notification light, I think there was an option for that in CM 10 (or am I wrong?)
I don't know how to change the quick settings panel in lollipop, is there a way to do that?
The notification tones don't work at all. The notification tone is selectable in the settings menu, but every time I get a text or email it doesn't go off
Phone ringtone is also selectable but nothing plays no matter what I set it to. it also doesn't play when I get a call
Heres a breakdown of the notifications on my phone
Call, screen comes on, no ringtone plays
Text, no screen comes on, no notification tone
E-mail, same as text
Also I get no vibrations. The phone vibrates while typing, but no vibration other than that for anything. I put the ring volume to vibrate and still nothing.
The count down clock and alarm tone does work though, and the alarm vibrates
Other than that, the phone works great. I have been using an older phone until this release came out, and boy is it nice to have a fast loading phone again, with such a great screen too. Thanks man for all of your work, I'll donate when I can Later.
Edit: Also I have found that this ROM is not rooted. Is that true? Thanks.

Quick question about the root access on this ROM. I've installed SuperSU and when I open it, it tells me the binaries need to be updated. When I go to update the binaries, it always fails. I'm assuming I missed doing something to enable the root access, so any advice would be appreciated.

On this build they basically removed the root manager interface, so root is handled by appops (or something similar). Why they (the android aftermarket) went this way is beyond me. Any time you go to activate a root app, a prompt should come up. (If it doesn't, open Settings > Developer Options > Root access, and tap "apps and adb" or whatever suits your needs).
If you'd rather use SuperSU (or any others), find a flashable zip and flash it in recovery. This should correct any issues you have with using said app.
