My aging eyes have a hard time focusing on the text in IE even when I double tap to zoom in. Is there a system setting or is there a third-party app that will allow me to make text bigger?

I found some interesting things in the phones registry
I went here and found this interesting value in Registry Editor:
My Device > HKEY_CURRENT_USER > ControlPanel > Accessibility > FontSize
and the FontSize is set to Value = 1, Dword
But I haven't tried changing anything and I DO NOT RECOMMENT you to change anything until some people who wants to try it has tried to check so the phone doesnt brick/break.

I appreciate the answer I don't mind risking my Focus since I am upgrading. I'll give it a shot.
First off, please report the results of your experimentation! This could be a handy tweak.
Second, there's an entire accessibility Settings menu. It's hidden by default (for no reason I can figure) on some phones. Hiding it is a registry setting, and some apps (like Advanced Config on http://touchxperience.com) will switch it for you. Something in there may help.
Third, double-tap just sooms in on the element that you tapped. If that element is pretty big already, it won't zoom very far. You can, at any time in IE, use two fingers ina pinching motion to fine-control the zoom level, or zoom in wherever you want to. This also works in the email reader view.
Any news about the sms and phone numbers in the contact list?

the idea changing the value of FontSize doesn't work!
I have a One S and One of the apps for playing multimedia files had options of several players to chose from. I defaulted to You Tube. Now, I want the option of different players once again. But the app always defaults to You tube when playing files.
I tried this setting and I did not find any settings there to delete the assocoation. Please help me:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All.
Then find the app for which you want to remove the default setting on and scroll down to where it says "Launch by default" and hit clear defaults.

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.

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.

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.
Evermore Music is a ROM I made that turns the Samsung Replenish into a dedicated MP3 player.
Backstory
The Samsung Replenish was outdated before it hit the self. We all know that. It was just a cheap, eco-friendly phone. Since I needed an MP3 player, and I had an old device laying around I decided to turn it into one. I looked for ways to get CM or some other AOSP ROM on there so I could truly customize it, but unfortunately there were none. As a result I had to base it off a stock ROM. I decided to base it off PhoeniX Rom by FirehaK and the Android Creative Syndicate.
About The ROM
I removed most of the contents of the /system/app to keep it absolutely core only. I even removed system UI (though I may put it back and hide it with the backported Xposed), and implemented a battery indication on the launcher. The player is a backported version of Apollo (Thank you sooo much, thinkfreedom).
Known bugs
"Sound settings" section crashes the settings app (as does all the features I removed, but that's to be expected)
Home button does not work
To-do
Launcher
Post on GitHub - Done
Change the battery indicator to change the color of the bar instead of the text

Device Settings Menu Guide, Tips & Discussions
Part 5 - Cloud and accounts, Google, Accessibility, General management, Software update, User manual, About phone, Developer options
If you're new to this series or want to see the index, please read the Introductory Post first.
Accounts and backup
Samsung Cloud; Backup and restore; Smart Switch: Self-explanatory. Any tips and tricks for these?
Accounts: Change and review settings for each account signed in your device. Change 'Sync' settings here.
Google
Do review all Google settings - you'll come across many interesting ones.
Accessibility
For users who find any feature difficult to use in normal style. Full guides here (Google) and here (Lifewire). However, this section also contains many hidden features that users probably ignore or skip. If you want me to cover this, please let me know. You can find Extra Dim here.
General management
Language: Change your preference order for all available and enabled languages.
Default keyboard: Change your keyboards here on simply from the notification panel while you are using one. Once you tap it, you can enable/disable 'Show Keyboard button' that shows up on the navigation bar but how do I hide the navbar during typing?
On-screen keyboard: Change keyboard settings. I use SwiftKey.
Physical keyboard: Learn how to connect a USB keyboard to your device here. You can define 'Keyboard shortcuts' here and disable 'Show on-screen keyboard' while using physical one.
Show keyboard button: Explained in 'Default keyboard'. Again, is there a way to hide the navigation bar during typing!
Autofill service: Choose the service for autofill service for apps (not webpages). Google Smart Lock for apps works perfect but I'm trying 'Samsung Pass' now.
Text-to-speech: Default 'preferred engine' is Samsung TTS. I've changed it to Google TTS as I believe they probably have researched more in this field especially for Hindi. Play with TTS settings, Speech rate and Pitch to find your soulmate.
Pointer speed: Learn how to connect mouse here. This settings describes the mouse (and trackpad) pointer speed.
Software update
Set 'download updates automatically' so that you don't have to check manually. These are the ones that are called OTA or Over-the-air updates.
User manual
Digital version of your user manual but will simply route you to the webpage.
About phone
Change your device name here (will appear in Bluetooth, WiFi direct and other methods). Everything else is information here in 'Status', 'Legal information', 'Software information' and 'Battery information'. If you want me to breif each of them, please tell.
Developer options
You enable this by tapping build number in 'Software information' in 'About phone' five times. I really wanted to explain each and every option here but there are already better guides on the internet. Read here, here and here.
