[Script-How to]Single Tap to Toggle On / Off the Button Leds

I got tired of having to unplug and plug the charger to turn on the button leds, so I did this script. Mentioned it to a couple of friends, they thought I should share. So here it is.
This script, used with GScripts Lite from market, will allow the creation of a short cut, to toggle the button leds on and off with one tap. I have tested it on friends' evos as well as mine.
I attached a zip file which contains the "led toggle.sh" file. Place the extracted "led toggle.sh" file in the gscripts folder on the root of the sdcard.
Open GScripts > tap menu > add a new script > needs su > load file > "led toggle.sh" .
BTW if you manually enter this code, be sure to check requires root, in the GScripts checkbox.
You can now create a shortcut from the desktop:
Long press > shortcut > GScript Lite > "led toggle"
Each time you tap the shortcut the leds will toggle from on to off, or from off to on.
It makes my night time use easier. Have fun.
I want to thank the entire g1 GScripts thread for the possibilities, and especially GScripts creator.

Hey! Great script!
Damn platform LEDS turn on too early, being able to shut them off really saves juice!
Many thanks!

I'm glad you found it useful.

Thanks for this. I stream movies via hdmi all the time and the leds are always lit.
Now if there was a way to 1)have the leds stay off UNTIL the toggle is hit again and 2)use the sense widget icon for the toggles this thing would look tits.
Yes, I have gone back to sense. I like the widgets too much.
Thanks.

Glad you like it. I use a shortcut icon. Sense supports that.

Is there a way to turn off the HOME, MENU, BACK, SEARCH button light permenatly? I just want the screen on and the buttons to remain off.
thanks

[WIDGET] Tiny Battery Widget

Hi,
after trying many battery widgets and all were missing some features from others, i made my own inspired by those i tried.
i would like to receive some feedback from real users as i have only two devices for testing. in current state it is a 1x1 widget showing battery level called Tiny Battery Widget. the battery icon has three sizes: big (default), normal and tiny. colors and the levels at which the colors change are also customizable.
battery level is reported in 1% steps also for motorola phones. it is a precise value, not an estimate. it was reported to wrok on a droid x. please let me know if it works on other motorolas or not. are there any other phones that report battery level in 10% steps by default? report every issue in this thread, thank you.
after clicking the battery icon a system settings toggler dialog shows and users can switch some system settings:
- turn WiFi on/off
- turn Bluetooth on/off
- turn GPS on/off
- turn mobile data on/off
- turn airplane mode on/off (optional, enable in settings)
mobile data switch toggles only mobile data, mms will always work. it is compatible with APNdroid and if the APNdroid is installed it toggles the mobile data through it (so mms could be also disabled).
the dialog also provides a quick access to WiFi/BT/GPS/APN settings and can be automatically closed after some events e.g. WiFi connected/disabled, BT enabled/disabled (check the settings).
internet access is for Ads only and GPS is for quick enable/disable only.
uninstall with mobile data enabled or you will have to manually edit APN names to enable it (or just install back the Tiny Battery Widget or APNdroid to re-enable mobile data).
this widget was made for me, and released to public. looking forward to your feedback and enjoy!

[APP][2.2+][UPDATE] Toggle flashlight

So i could not find an app that would do exactly what this one does...
Turn on the flashlight LED immediately upon execution of the app... Instead, every app on the market has the user open it up, then press a button to toggle the flashlight.
My app will IMMEDIATELY turn on your flash light LED then shut off the screen.
Its main purpose is to have as a lockscreen shortcut.
Install instructions:
1. Download APK
2. Place apk onto your SD card
3. Using ANY file explorer app
4. Locate downloaded apk and tap on it to initialize the install process.
5. Install and run the app once to set it up.
Permissions:
Hardware Controls [Allow app to access camera LED]
Also need to enable device administrator to allow device lock
Dont forget to hit thanks it really makes me feel good about myself knowing people are benefiting from this other than myself
Check my Signature for other work/projects by me
THANKS XDA FOR PROVIDING US WITH SUCH A GREAT WEBSITE AND RESOURCE!!

UPDATE 12/10/12 10:36 EST
-Fixed force close issue due to me being retarded....

I've searched a lot for an app like this, the past days and I've also developed one myself, which just today I've managed to finish it(have some problems though).
I will try your app, maybe is better than mine(I'm new in programming).
EDIT:
Just tried, flashlight turns itself off about 10-20 seconds after screen is off(sometimes less), at least on my device.
I'd have this problem with my app too. Do you run it as service?

This is a very useful app my friend. It's so annoying on aosp rom's hitting the power button, pulling down the notification bar, engaging the torch, and cycling all over again. This saves steps and works quite well so far.
I'll report back as I use it more over the next few days.
Using it on a sgs3 running Eclipse rom.

Just so you people know, theres actually a widget you can place on your homescreen, just long press on the screen, go to widgets...then look for Assistive Light....put in on one of your homescreens...press it, walla...LED light on back of phone lights up!!! No need to download any apk.

That's not what this is for. This is instant lockscreen on/off. This is a smart app. Obviously there are home screen options other than this.....

Simple and very useful Atrix app Collection

Salam(Hi) all,
Android is a powerful OS because of its wide variety of apps, games, customizations...etc but sometimes it's hard to find the unique app/function you exactly want without trying tons of apps and digging into deep settings of each app trying to find your workaround.
In this thread I'll be glad to share some of very simple and useful apps that works perfectly on our Atrix 2 :angel:
1. Disable Service "Root"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
as name suggest it's a tiny app (only 500KB) that can disable running apps services (and even system app services) it's very useful for disabling Google Services (privacy concern) and you can disable specific app service as example the popular music player PowerAMP has 2 services which runs forever "updatewidgetservice" that update widget will be always on even if you don't have the PowerAMP widget on your screen! and "headsetpluggedservice" (service that waits for your headset to be plugged to run a song) it will be always on even if you have disabled the headset option! so you can simply by one click disable them.
Also it works as a monitoring service app, so you can see what's the normal (running apps) option in settings can't show.
Works perfectly in Kitkat.
2. Internet Speed Meter Lite
Another tiny yet powerful app that display a small icon showing real time internet traffic speed plus having a schedule of everyday data usage consumption for both WiFi and 3G/4G traffic.
3. Lock Screen
The Most Important app for our A2 (as the power button in A2 is very soft), it's only 20k and simply add an icon to your home screen that (when pressed) lock the screen instead of pressing the trickle power button.
4. Timed Toggles (Auto Airplane)
The next big thing, Timed Toggles (only 130KB) can save a lot of battery by enabling (Airplane) mode on a set of times as example you can set it to turn on airplane mode at midnight every day, also it provides the same functionality for enabling/disabling WiFi, Bluetooth, vibration, sounds, brightness...etc
5. DroidEdit (free code editor)
A must have code viewer/editor with syntax highlighting for (C, C++, C#, Java, HTML, CSS, Javascript, Python, Ruby, Lua, LaTeX, SQL)!
it provides an excellent on the go code reviewing with the ability for undo/redo,search &replace...etc
More small and useful apps will be added soon and it would be nice to share your app suggestions too :highfive:
Note that all apps are totally Free with No ads,fees,subscription...etc

OPO new user - how to?

Hi,
I've just bought a used OPO from a friend and have a couple of doubts in how to customize some functions..
How can I customize buttons to reverse long press home for recent apps and long press menu for google?
How can I remove phone from lock screen?
Can I remove google bar from recent apps?
Probably I'll have some more doubts later on, but I'd already be happy with these answers I couldn't find myself on Google.
Thanks.:good:

Search bar is disabled in home but not in recent apps.
This is what I mean by phone in lock screen.
Thanks.

in about phone, turn on advanced mode, the options should be available in buttons. you can customise your lockscreen in settings.

It worked!! Thank you so much! I was also able to remove recent apps search bar in display settings.

no problem

One more question if you don't mind.. Why can't I select same wallpaper image for home and lock screen? I can select and adjust home wallpaper position to where I want, but lock screen I only found option in themes but doesn't allow adjustment.
In my nexus and Samsungs I usually went to Gallery select image and clicked "Set as Wallpaper" - Home and Lock Screen", but in OPO this option is not available..
Thanks.
