I'm going to do an adb pull to insert an icon into Tasker, for it to be used for notifciations. I'll do the icon add in windows, then push the app back to the Aria. Where should I expect to find the Tasker app? It does not allow install to the sd, so it is somewhere in the internal. Anyone have Tasker and can find it?

Is there a way to use terminal emulator to push a file into this app?

Great question - I don't know. What you might check out is PULLING the APK and extracting it with WinRAR or you're alternative zip program and placing the file you want in there...what exactly are you trying to accomplish? After you replace or place your file rezip and rename to .apk ... please note I do not know if this 'method' is suitable for what you are trying to do, don't know if it will work or what...in my eyes its worth a shot...if anything your phone just wont install it.another thing I'd try is, unseasonable of unzipping, then rezipping just drop the file in there and place/replace, then put on SDCARD and try to sideload it.
If you are familiar with Tasker, this should make sense. I'll give you the quick version.
I have three modes, Home, Car, and Work. When I leave home, Tasker detects my home network has been disconnected and switches to car mode (wifi off, bluetooth on, gps on). When I arrive at work, Tasker's gps function detects my location and switches to work mode (wifi off, gps off, bluetooth off). When I leave work, Tasker uses "cell near" detection to see that I have left work and goes back to car mode (wifi off, gps on, bluetooth on). Tasker monitors gps data and knows when I have returned home sets everything back to home (wifi on, gps off, bluetooth off). There are other settings that get changed as well, such as brightness and volume levels. Quite complex to set up, but it is totally automated. I believe it saves battery by keeping unnecessary functions off when not needed.
So, what I'm trying to do is have Tasker initiate a notification (tasker does this also) when each state changes. The notification can be made to be "permanent" and is only cleared by the change of mode. When setting up Tasker to do these notifications, there are only a few stock ones to chose from. Things like teddy bears and penguins and stars. I'd like to use different icons. So I believe the solution is to find suitable icons (24x24 or 32x32 png images) and name them the same as what is found in the apk. The file icon_notify_bear.png will become a VW logo for car mode, etc. It should show up in the list of icons available for the notification. I intend to replace those that are not of interest and add a few others, using the same file name structure.
More info (though outdated) can be found here http://tasker.dinglisch.net/tour.html#notify
Tasker has been updated many times since that, it has many more and better features and functions now. Except easily adding icons for notifications. The dev says that android won't allow it through the app itself. So I'm going in through the back door.

Alright, well I am familiar with tasker but didn't know about the different notification icons. Anyway, what I told you above is exactly what I would try. Pull the APK from your phone, open it in winrar have a looksie at what you can find (note you may have to unzip to see what each file is, but I wouldn't rezip it to achieve this task), once you find what you need to replace drag and drop from windows to winrar...winrar SHOULD ask you if you want to replace what's already in there. If it doesn't, this 'method' will probably not work. If it does, either push it back to your phone or just drop it on your sdcard and sideload it, test it out and see what you can come up with. May take a few trial and error failures but that's all part of the learning experience in my opinion.
I've read a thing or two about apps in the /data/app need to be signed after edit. Not a clue what I am to do with that advice

Look into SignApk...i tried to do this after editing ROM frame apk with UOT so I didn't have to flash two files and I failed...well...I may have succeeded in signing the apk but the ROM was stuck at the boot animation so i gave up there...
These should help you out some:

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about ho to tweak LCDDensity. I love this app. It makes everything fit in the screen on my Vibrant perfectly. The only minor complaint I have is that every time I want to switch the settings I have to reboot my phone. Is there any way to tweak this app so that I don't have to reboot my phone for the changes to take effect? I know absolutely nothing about programing so this might not be possible but I though I would put it out there.
Easiest way is unistall the app.
Use root explorer to go to your system folder. hit the button on top saying "mount R/W", longpress on the build.prop to choose open in text editor. scroll down to where you see "density=160" or something like that (should say 160 though). and press menu then save and quit.
Reboot.
Done.
Ignore the above poster who didn't read your post.
Sorry but there isn't a way to do it without rebooting, because the file that holds the information only gets read during boot.

Searched around alittle to see if anyone had found any means of doing this, but didn't find anything.
Anyone know if it's possible to assing the "settings" function to the browser key?
Thanks

Look here. It has a lot of information on it. You should be able to do with relative ease.
Cheers.
Sweet!, Worked like a charm with root explorer.
Just stumbled on this thread and thought id give it a shot on my K1. Everything went fine, files were same name and in same location, mounted the dir. Rw then changed my hardware button (the one thats Home/Back/Menu), saved the file with a backup but no changes were made. I even changed the buttons in the other file showing only hardware buttons and then rebooted but still nothing...
Im thinking that since this mod was for the TPT and Im on a K1, theres something Im missing. Any K1 owners had any success with re-mapping the hardware buttons?

may need to set permissions on file
You may need to set permissions on the file before you can save. Using "File Manager HD" I had to enable root explorer and mount systems folders under the settings and then add write permissions to Group and Others in the permissions dialog, probably don't need Others but I am lazy. Don't forget to change the permissions back after you save your changes. Incorrect permissions settings can sometimes really bork things.
Also seems that the settings might be a little different under ICS, I am getting "Touchscreen Toggled" instead of the menu after setting 150 to MENU.

On the Lenovo boards, it has been comfirmed in the released chineese manual, that pen only mode is avaible. SoSweet!
Menu's not allowed in ICS
Well, here is why remapping the browser button to MENU does not work in ICS, looks like we are no longer allowed to have a menu.
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2012/01/say-goodbye-to-menu-button.html
Still playing with it but it appears that no matter what I put on the line after key 150 I just get touch-screen toggled, which is useful but not what I want.

BTW doin' this on a Thinkpad Tablet
Hey guys. I just recently switched to a T-Mobile One S from my Sprint Evo 3D. I've loved the phone so far, but I've noticed one dumb thing about it. On the Evo (running a gingerbread ROM), when long-pressing a phone number in a text, email, webpage, etc., I get a context menu with options to call, text, add to contacts, and so on. On the One S, I don't get any of these options, it just highlights the number for copying.
Am I missing something, or is this feature really gone? Is this true for all ICS ROMs, or just the stock T-Mo one I have? My brother seems to recall something about an Apple patent infringement that made Google or the phone makers omit this feature. Can anyone shed some light on this?
If the feature really is missing, is there a way to add it? Maybe there are ROMs that have already done this?
Thanks for any info!
Thank Apple for that.
Flash a ROM with a 1.78 base like leedroid maybe, you'll lose wifi calling though. Did this never work on Tmobile US One S or did this get disabled in 1.84 update?
If you're rooted, you can remove the HTC linkify app and the functionality will return...Not sure if you can disable via app manager if unrooted

I just tried the instructions linked in this thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696536
Unfortunately, the only change is that now tapping on a phone number doesn't do anything (it used to bring up the dialer). Long-press still just selects the number for copying.
So now I can't even dial numbers by tapping them. I'm going to restore the build.prop backup and wipe the caches again and see what happens.

Did you reboot? Have you tried Settings/App Associations and clearing out the defaults? You might also have to clear the defaults in your dialer to get it to work.
I did reboot to recovery and clear the caches after deleting the apk and doing the build.prop changes.
I restored the build.prop backup and deleted the first instance of ro.da1.enable and then edited the second one from "true" to "false." This got the tap-to-dial working again, but the long-press stayed the same. I tried adding the ro.da1.method=false line, but that didnt seem to help.
I was going to check the app association settings, but that option in settings has disappeared. Is this because I deleted HTClinkifydispatcher.apk?

I think so...I didn't even do any build prop changes and I can tap to call from the browser but can't get the menu you described. Don't think I've ever seen that on any other phone I've used, so maybe it was specific to your previous models software?
I got the app associations menu back by restoring the linkify apk, undoing the build.prop changes, and clearing the two caches.
So now I'm back where I started. I have a softball game now, but I'll give this another try when I get back.
I'll get a screenshot of the menu the Evo 3D brings up when I long-press on a number.
Ok, I just went through the process again, and I don't get anything different as far as SMS and dialing goes. I tried clicking on a YouTube link, and I was given the choice between the browsers or the app, whereas before it would just open in a browser, so I know there's a change.
This time I renamed the linkify apk, deleted the first ro.da1.enable entry, and changed the second one to "false." I also restarted and wiped both caches.
Maybe the long-press menu was just a Sense option in Gingerbread. Does anybody know of a way to add this to a Sense 4.0 ICS ROM? Thanks a lot for the help so far, by the way.
I don't have any suggestions, but I remember this function/ability since you have brought it up. And I would like to get it back as well.
Going to look into it.

It will work if you double click the phone number, for me works
@syntropic - That'd be great, thanks!
@sebysebu - I tried double-tapping, and it just pulls the number up in the dialer like a single tap does. Is this what you get, or are you getting something else?

First of all I want to say that, also, I would like to have this function again.
Secondly, yes, this is what I get, I didn't tried before the single-tap, only the long press and the double-tap, my mistake, sorry. But after it pulls the number up in the dialer you can just dial then end the call quickly, then long press and you have those options. It's true that is more time wasted this way, but it can be done.
Anybody have any new ideas on this? I'm willing to use my phone as a guinea pig. I'm no expert, but I'm fairly familiar with command-line stuff.

Hi,
I just purchased an x96 box and was looking through the features when I saw the security feature for setting up a resticted profile. Since I have kids I thought it would be good to set one up, so created my password and then clicked "enter restricted profile". Not only did it restrict the apps that were availible to me, but now in the sttings tab all the buttons are gone (except for network) so I can't change any settings. As well there isn't anything for me to toggle back to normal profile. I basically am stuck in restricted profile and cant change it. When I turn on and off the box it comes back on in regular mode (all the apps), but then 5 seconds in it says "switching to restricted profile" and I cant make any changes to settings.
Anyone who can help would be a lifesaver.
Cheers

I am having the same exact issue. Can you please let me know when you get some resolve
Thanks
I ended up doing a factory reset. Click on the apps button on the home page. Near the bottom is a button that says "backup......". Clicked on that and checked off delete data and delete "something" then hit restore. Good to go.
Hope that helps.
Let sera...
Ok so I got a x96 foolishly done the same thing. Here's how to set it again. While the power is off in the av point on the rear of the box poke a match stick in and there is a button insode. Hold it down. It will come up with options like a boot sort of setup options. I went to clear data or something along those lines and boom back to factory settings. I looked everywhere for a reset button it was only because company I purchased from advised me it was there.
Ditto! Is ther e any other option than reseting factory settings? How can i apply the original passcode I entered?
Did you get it fix?

X96 restricted profile problem
Now any new solution? When I set PIN code and apply restricted profile after that I cannot reverse normal mode, can't apply PIN code
With a factory reset ?
So did anyone work out how to get back removing restricted profile without a factory reset. It seems so counter productive...
Thanks.
Hope it works for you too.
Okay. So, I didn't see a reset button hidden anywhere, but I didn't wanna have to do that anyways. What I've found is that when you turn it off and back on, you can go back out of restricted mode. You just need to be really fast before it re-enters restricted mode again. You have about ten seconds. It's best to connect a mouse because it takes longer to scroll to the apps and options using the remote. But I did everything in time because my password was 0000. As soon as it turns back on, as quickly as possible, go to settings, >security & restrictions, then go to turn off restricted profile. Quickly enter your passcode and you're home free! After that, I'd highly recommend deleting restricted profile. Hope this works for you too!

Yours is the best idea to solve the issue. Unfortunately my GT1 is so fast, that gives me only 1 second. The same is with wired mouse. Is there any experience, if after master (pinhole) reset the Google account should get back all (Kodi reppositories, YouTube account,...) settings ?
I have exactly the same problem with my Philips 49PUS7502/12 Android TV. I even didn't set up a PIN CODE for it. I can't get out of this profile. Any solution rather than factory reset? I have many apps and customization.
