I would like to share with you my very first Android application.
It was designed to allow fine screen timeout tweaking, ie it will make it possible to define a screen timeout value for each application installed on your device.
With it you will be able to set a small timeout for your device (i.e. 15 seconds), and have your browser, games, GPS app or whatever configured to have screen stay on longer!
Hope you find it usefull

Hi,
The reason probably is that the application does not support your screen resolution.
I will try to fix this for you.
Thanks for your feedback

I just updated the play store version.
My second guess was that the application was looking for an Android version higher than your phone's
Please tell me if this works with the new one (version 8, probably available in a few minutes)
Hi everyone,
I have just had my first app developed and released, there is a fully functional Trial (Widgets not included in trial - Sorry!)
The app provides a simple way to lock your phone on a as-needed basis. It uses the Android PIN lock screen with a pre-set 4-6 digit PIN.
The clever part is it deactivates the PIN lock once the correct PIN is entered.
There are two widgets in the paid version to select - "Standby/no-lock" activates 'swipe' screen lock only
or "TempLock" which performs the lock described above
If you are interested please check it out on the Android "Play" market:
"Temporary Lock" or "Temporary Lock TRIAL"
Any suggestions/comments/feedback would be much appreciated!
Or even better if you like it please give it a 5 star rating!
Thanks heaps!! Reece - A++ Apps
This app allows you to create shortcuts for any system setting on your device.
Basic actions are also available to toggle a few things. These basic actions currently include:
Toggle Quiet Hours
Toggle Rotation Lock
Toggle Unlimited Screen Timeout
Toggle Active Display
Advanced users!
Change any checkbox preference, list preference, or color preference for your ROM that has a system setting link.
For example:
https://github.com/AOKP/frameworks_base/blob/kitkat/core/java/android/provider/Settings.java
https://github.com/omnirom/android_...-4.4/core/java/android/provider/Settings.java
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...10.2/core/java/android/provider/Settings.java
https://github.com/ParanoidAndroid/...jb43/core/java/android/provider/Settings.java
Here lie some settings projects with values you can use if you're running these respective ROMs.
The "Advanced Shortcut" will ask for a few inputs. For example:
"quiet_hours_haptic" > checkbox ? Yes.
And each click will cycle the setting on/off.
Or, you can input "quiet_hours_haptic" > checkbox ? No > 1
To turn the setting ON no matter what state it's in.
Currently, SECURE settings are unsupported for KitKat
Only SYSTEM settings will be accepted.
SECURE settings can be modified if you have root access on Android 4.3 and lower.
Special thanks to Stericson for his RootTools library:
https://github.com/Stericson/RootTools
A donate version is available via the Play Store. Currently both versions are the same.
Recent Changes:
===2.2.1===
-AOKP Color settings fix
-ICS (4.0) support
===2.2.0===
-Small AOKP Settings Table Check to grant access to only applicable settings
-Screen Timeout now accepts two values (set both to the same if you want ONE action)
-Active Display Toggle for ROMs that support it
===2.0.0===
-AOKP Settings Table Support!
===1.2===
-Check Developer Options before Advanced Shortcuts
-Add Quiet Hours Toggle
-Add Rotation Lock Toggle
-Add Screen Timeout Toggle
(Toggle between user-picked 15/30 seconds / 1/2/5/10/30 minutes and UMLIMITED screen timeout)
===1.1.1===
Secure Settings for JellyBean and below
(ROOT required)
===1.0===

D'aw. You didn't have to do that Phil =] thanks.
Edit: AOKP Added, nvm.
Updated. Play store should refresh soon. New APK here already.
:highfive: yay, kit's first play store app! i bought it before i even tested it. (try refunding that one, beeotch )
(who would settle for the xda version anyway? play version auto updates!)
anyway, seems very cool, and i'm excited to see where this app goes!
Chamber of Secrets? Looks pretty cool! Nice work

Practically. Minus Secure Settings (KitKat).
Plus aokp's settings table integration.
The additional toggles are rewritten as well to use publicly documented APIs and, again, integrate with AOKP's settings table.
So...slightly less powerful than the Chamber.
Even more so once the chamber integrates with the custom tiles to create settings resolvers.
Thanks.
Cool, I have a new toy. Thank you J.
doesn't seem to work with MOAR 8.0 rom, can't find the program shortcut in apps drawer. it does show up in settings>app manager though.

If you long-press the home screen in most launchers you can access shortcuts. Some launchers require you to open the "widgets" tab. But you'll find it in one of those places...
It doesn't have an app-drawer shortcut since there's no need to launch an app activity with it =]
Help
I'm a newbie. So I can't use the tool
Please can someone help me to toggle cell broadcast receiver on/off on aosp message com.android.mms?
Jubakuba, could you please confirm that with this app, under the "advanced shortcut" option, you can:
- select a preference listed in the setting.java file (and those preferences are all the preferences also present in the "settings" app)
- create a number of shortcuts for the selected preferences to toggle or values to cycle through (i.e. I want brightness to be either 10 or 20 or 100)
If this is correct I bet this app could be the base for a killer application in android as Tasker is...provided that you give more examples and give the set (may be in the four settings.java files you mention) of the preferences we're entitled to use.
Cutting a long story short: between you and the success there is...a clear tutorial. And I'm looking forward to reading it !!!
I suspect I've not been direct enough in my previous post, let me re-phrase it:
I'm not finding on my phone (xperia m 4.1.2 rooted) the file settings.java: can I still use the "advanced option" in the app ? Which is the actual name of the file I need to search instead of settings.java ? Any suggestion about how to decompile it ?

Sorry for the slow response, this thread is on my backburner apparently and have completely forgotten about it.
Anyway, yes. That can be done.
Your rom is from an OEM, so it isn't open-source...
But you can surely use the values in AOSP, or find the ones being used by your phone via a settings.db viewer.
data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/ on you phones file system will have settings.db files...
Not sure what you'd use to look...but RootExplorer, for example, has a basic viewer.
Finding the values, examples, etc...however...isn't something I can do for you.
This is a very advanced app for the advanced shortcut users...and you really just have to know what you're doing, or figure it out.
For your example (just found a settings.java file for Slim, but this is an AOSP key and I highly doubt your phone's OEM has changed the AOSP keys for existing settings).
https://github.com/SlimRoms/frameworks_base/blob/kk4.4/core/java/android/provider/Settings.java
Code:
/**
* The screen backlight brightness between 0 and 255.
*/
public static final String SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS = "screen_brightness";
So if you wanted a toggle between 0/50/100% brightness...
Advanced Shortcut > screen_brightness > not a checkbox > 0,128,255
255 isn't divisible by 2, and int values (the values being used here) don't accept decimals.
So round up to 128.
Very useful solution for toggling Quiet Hours
This app is fantastic. It is the only solution I've found for toggling Quiet Hours using Tasker (and AutoShortcut). I look forward to finding more uses. Thank you for this.
In my case, I use the "Advanced Shortcut" option and use QUIET_HOURS_FORCED as the settings string. This can be set to either 1 or 0 and will enforce quiet hours no matter what the time settings are. Works great. I'm on a nightly build of CM11.
Hellow how can i find shortcuts for stock andorid? i want the shortcut (turn off all sounds) witch is found in accessibility > hearing
Still available ?
Hi !
This is exactely what i need but i d'ont find the application in Play Store and the download version available here is a zip file instead of apk. How can i install it on my phone plz ?
thx.
Dear reader, I want to make the transition from IOS to Android and I have detailed requirements to the software and hardware of my new Smartphone maybe you can give me your opinion on one or more of this topics:
So basically I want to buy the smartphone which fits the requirements the most. The importance is descend.
I do not care about the price nor the size of the Device.
1. I want to use the Device and the operations System Version as long as possible and if possible set up everything once and then only update Apps if I have to. And do not update the OS because this means all my Xposed Tweaks are gone and there is maybe no version out for the new OS.
For my Iphone I manageed it to use IOS 5.1.1 for up to three years.
2. I want to be able to customize my Statusbar, Lockscreen, physical Buttons on the phone, Notifications ...
I am so used to the following features:
2.1 - In Android world you would call this: Xposed Module Repository -> Physical Button Music Control
2.2 - I need a method that the phone is silent ( no vibration too ) and only wakes up the screen if an email, whatsapp arrives, BUT all calls ( unknown, in contact list, supressed number ) will vibrate or only wake display or vibrate and ring. At least the options for the calls should be easy accessible and I need an icon in the Statusbar that tells me something like: Warning you phone will not vibrate/sound if somebody calls you.
2.3 I want to have the Day,Date in the statusbar eg. "Mo23.02"
2.4 I need reminders that will stay on the Lockscreen
2.5 I need if I get notifications like a new mail, whatsapp message, or facebook message, that this message will be displayed with a preview on the lockscreen and stay on the lockscreen until it is marked as read ( In IOS they without Jailbreak Tweak they dissapear after the first unlock )
2.6 I need that my calender events are shown on the lockscreen
3 Genreally I want a clear structured layout, no fancy animations but to be able to customize behavior of the phone as much as possible. I do not need the newest autofocus, fingerprint technical gadet stuff, but the phone should be as fast as possible. I need it to enhance my productivity in daily life and want to set it up once and use it as long as possible without reconfig it
4 So does this mean go to CM or are there Stock ROMS who can be customized with Xposed Framework very good.
Which Phone in the High End sector can you recommend? Which one is famous for supporting CM or XposedFramework on stock very good ?

Hello,
Try posting your query here Device suggestion thread with all relevant details, the experts there maybe able to assist you.
-Vatsal
Greetings everyone,
I've recently bought a new phone with android 12 preinstalled ( Xperia 5 II ) and I can't express how ugly and awfully that UI is being designed.
On top of that lack of customization is getting on my nerves as well as some of the functionalities, despite how it looks this is not only a rant, I really want your help.
-Notification bar ( completely reworked, swiping once shows only 4 HUGE tiles instead of 6 as it should be, and swiping twice 8 instead of 9)
-Notification Tile toggles ( lack of wifi, mobile data, nfc, 3G/4G+ switch toggle)
-Recent apps Tab ( checking overview tab shows apps vertically positioned, each taking almost full screen preview and having to navigate through all of them to reach CLEAR ALL)
-Unable to set main Homescreen page
I've 'fixed' some things to my liking by using different launcher, adb to restore wifi,data toggles(functional but not showing whether it's pressed or not) and still got some things that I'm stuck with.
With all that said my question is: What would my options here be? Could I 'flash' (replace) only the UI version without rooting ( that was maybe too stupid of a question but I'm wondering)
Is it possible that I rollback to A11 or even force upgrade to A13 (phone wont get any further updates past A12) and retrieve functions mentioned above? (If I go on this path would only use official android stock version for my device, not rooting, hopefully without losing any functionalities)
Please give me your thoughts on this as I would be very grateful for every reply!
Thanks in advance!
