[APP] 4.4 (and lower?) BackOff, button backlight disabler

I designed a simple app that disables the backlight for the capacitive keys. It also installs an init.d script that disables them at each boot, meaning you can uninstall this app after using it, if you wish.
Perfect for roms that have a navbar but no option to disable the button lights, or anyone who doesn't need the glow to tell you where your buttons are.
I tested this on SkimKat. I'd like to know if it works on JB roms.

Edit: I noticed that the screenshots make it look like a widget. This is definitely not a widget, but an app overlaying the home screen. In other news: I'm accepting better screenshots (I don't own this device)

Does it have an option to undo the init.d script after it runs? Can it do it on the fly or does it require a reboot?

Sorry about the delay. Does it disable the backlight at all or is it only after a reboot that it fails? Does your rom support init.d?
Also, my app only disables the light, not the actual button.

I decided to give this a go since the option hasn't been merged into AOKP 4.4 yet. It does what it says. Thanks for the simple app.
K, so I hate to go back on this...It is still nice, but it doesn't seem to persist on a reboot. Any thoughts on why that may be?

If it doesn't persist it's because your rom doesn't support init.d. You could try another kernel for now. I'm dabbling at support for roms without init.d, but I hate to make my app run at boot.

Project Ameliorate Toolbox (P.A.T)

As the creator of many toolboxes for Motorola devices over the past 4 years I decided to try my hand at merging my toolbox with this new fangled thing called xPosed framework. This is where Project Ameliorate Toolbox comes in.
This toolbox is an extension of not only my previous works but I also imported parts of GravityBox as well as built my own parts for the xPosed portion of this toolbox.
** Gravity Box Parts **
I cherry picked some parts from GravityBox, these parts were picked because they work best on the X, and they are what I use.
You should check this out!
*** Disclaimer ***
Parts of XYZ TOOLBOX may conflict with other xPosed Modules, if this occurs then you should uninstall the other modules.

Will you be adding the ability to have the long press Nav key options from Gravity Box? The GB dev spent alot of time working with Moto X owners to get everything working perfectly. XYZ module ui looks very nice, easy to navigate to find the changes you want to make. Are you adding the module to the Xposed repository so we can easily see updates?
Keep up the good work and thanks in advance.

with your toolbox is there any way to KILL apps all the way with the back button? Every other phone I've had when I set it up to kill an app it killed it all the way, on the x it's will kill what the app is currently doing, but stay within that app.

The "exit an application" on back button is not how Android handles the life cycle of apps. The OS will take you back one stack (view, etc.), so if you are in an application with multiple views then the back button will keep going backwards through views until you eventually get back to the home screen.

Hi, the option Navigation > NavBar Keys > Navigation Icon, could you please say where do you find him? I use GravityBox (for the QS tiles options) but want to change my Navigation Bar icons, but PAT doesn't go well with GB.
Thanks!

I do not understand the request * Where do you find them?
They are an application that I had built previously and have now added to my version of an enhanced Toolbox. You can't find them in GB. (I hope this answers the question).

Adding toggles to my notification pull-down area

The attached picture is how my notification area looks
I got a settings button on top-right of screen, it opens settings app.
But the settings app starts slowly, and usually used up so much ram.
After I closed the settings app and back to my previous using app, It's already closed and restarting.
Is there any way to add a button and a page then when I tap on it, the notification area will switch to the added page with the toggles like WiFi and brightness or something?

You can root your device and install "xposed framework" + the module "gravity box". Gravity box provides features to change quicksetting toggles. May work, may not. Just try it if you're bored

I know the module, but my HTC Desire 200 stock Rom is ICS 4.0.3, gravity box supports only JB and up.
I can't figure out any other method than mod systemui.apk and framework-res.apk right now.
Ps. There's no working recovery and newer Rom for this phone now and maybe forever

Brightness and volume slider D850

I noticed on the Att model they removed the brightness and volume sliders from the drip down menu
Is there a way to flash the system file to add it back in? There isn't an option for it in the G3 tweak box.

In G3 Tweaksbox you can enable the status bar brightness slider under Theme > Status Bar > Enable Status Bar sliding (@ bottom of menu)
Note this isn't a slider in the drop down. You touch the status bar without dragging down and slide to change brightness.

I don't have that drag status bar to change brightness functionality on my d850.

I have the icon I can talk that has preset increments but I like to manually slide it sometimes rather than going into the settings.

They might have done this to fix the Chromecast System UI crash

I know it's not as simple, but if you long press on any of the toggles it brings you right to their settings. In the brightness slider case, display settings. Just in case people don't use tweaksbox.

I know, but thats more of a hassle, and I would rather have the slider. Maybe tweaks box will have that feature added to it.

As stated above, only way to get this functionality (somewhat) is to use G3 Tweakbox Xposed module on rooted phone. However this module only gives you ability to change brightness while sliding/dragging your finger on notification bar. Its not what you are looking for but serves the purpose just fine.
However I forgot if this option was enabled in free version of G3 Tweakbox or not. You would have to check yourself since I have already unlocked the premium version so can't go back to verify.

Yes, it is usable in the free version of TweaksBox.

if someone could pull the SystemUI.apk from the Korean variant and then drop your SystemUI.apk, it can be modded in...
this is partially what xda is here for.

Holy cow....ATT and their typical bull****. First the bloatware now this.
It makes absolutely no sense for them to remove such a useful feature. This reminds me of when ATT removed the mobile data toggle on the S4.
Either way, I hope someone will figure out how to add this feature back.

Did you guys try to tap the edit icon in the list of icons in the status bar? In there you can select the toggles you want in the status bar as well as enable volume and brightness Sliders.

You cant, it's a upgrade for the future read the future updates on the play store description

I could not find why people are so interest about this spam .

Guys this is still in BETA version i must say. So some features will still be developed, expect less first but the most important thing here is check for bugs and fc's.

Looks nice but I don't know what's special in this lockscreen

Nice..but a bit laggy for my s4 though..

This works fine and the interest is because its a Android L lock screen. I use and it there is one more being developed as well. Gallery is coming soon as well as the status bar.

Thanks, well it replace my default Samsung lock screen?

Okay so this surprised me, it works pretty well. Just one thing, maybe don't have the settings on the lockscreen. Also have a look at allowing for customizes gestures. I am very used to just swiping right to unlock my device, will take a bit to get used to swiping up.

My link send you to the play store.

Pressing the home button still lets you unlock it without any more action

There are various causes why I won't use this lockscreen for now:
- Hiding the status bar results in nav bar and status bar beeing accessable by swiping up/down, making unlocking a mess (it's just fullscreen...)
- Because of the previous bug the notification / quick settings area is accessable
- Disabling the home button results in the nav bar always beeing shown
- Nav bar is transparent, but has a bad looking shadow (see next image)
- The apps-ring of the home button is under the lockscreen, but the apps open when you "select" them (http://imgur.com/eNitpBU)
- My camera doesn't open with the build in feature (com.android.camera2 v2.0.002)
- No music player control
Nevertheless I buyed the premium addon to support your work, I hope this app will get better.

Can you just upload apk files on mediafire?

Any way to find a working link. Would like to try this out but all the links lead to nowhere.
