New Power Control widget with one click 2G/3G toggling

Hello
I waited a lot of time for Google to release the support of a API to allow changing the 2G/3G with one click
As many others I would like to have the ability to do it without need to go to the settings.
Since Google didn't do it, I decided to do it by myself.
For that I modified the Phone and Setting applications that are delivered in the Cyanogen 6 version.
I made a new Power Control widget that now has the following:
Additional buttons:
- 2G/3G toggling (one click. With 3G only or 3G preferred)
- Ring mode toggling (Different possibilities)
- Screen timeout (15s/1min/5 min or 30s/2m/5Min)
- Toggle orientation sensor(enabled/disabled)
- Brightness levels (added different possible levels)
- Airplane mode enable/disable
- Lock Screen enable/disable
- Flashlight (screen mode works on Magic. on N1 it doesn't work=Don't use it)
Options:
- Can now be set with vertical layout
- you can choose different buttons on the widget
- possibility for a transparent widget
- possibility to avoid the widget "round corners"
- Option to change to 2G automatically when Mobile data is disabled
- Option to change to 3G automatically when Mobile data is enabled back
- Option to disable sync automatically when WIFI is disabled (avoids sync on mobile data)
- Option to enable sync automatically when WIFI is enabled back
- Option to choose if Ring mode is ON with vibrate or with sound
- Option to monitor the Data roaming (set the icon to red if enabled)
Other changes:
Changes done to GPS or Mobile Data in normal Settings page are now automatically synchronized in the widget.
Limitations:
- Setting page still very ugly
- Like the original one, limited to a single 4x1 widget.
- Button order is fixed
Before I contribute with my code to Cyanogen, I would like to see the feedback of other persons to confirm if this change is interesting or not.
If not, I would keep it just to myself.
It was only tested in my own HTC Magic. So I cannot guarantee that it will work 100%. If you want it, then use it at your own risk
Unfortunately it require changes of main Phone applications so I don't think it is possible to do it for all the Phones.
For now it will only work with CM6
I hope this is also interesting for several other people.
How to download:
update.zip file:
http://share1t.com/lg7prf

Screenshots:
My personal update procedure (flashmode):
Step 1:
Copy the update.zip (power_control_v2.01.zip) to the SD Card
Shutdown phone and boot it in recovery mode (On HTC Magic, press HOME + POWER to boot)
Step 2: (optional but recommended)
move the directory of your computer to were to store the backup files
Wait for the Recovery console
Connect the usb cable
adb.exe shell mount /system
Make a backup of the original files:
adb.exe pull /system/app/Settings.apk Settings_original.apk
adb.exe pull /system/app/Phone.apk Phone_original.apk
Step 3:
Select the Flash option on the recovery, and select to choose the file name
Select the power_control_v2.01.zip
Confirm and wait for it to finish.
Reboot the phone.
Step 4:
Add the new Power Control widget

Thank you verry much !

Is this the app from BK Mobility? Of so, this would be considered a WAREZ and you will get banned for it, because it is an paid app.

Well I'm not experienced in that.
Maybe the volume is already mounted?
If you really have boot the phone in Recovery mode (not the normal mode)
then check the following after the shell part:
ls /system/app
if you see a lot of files ending in *.apk, then the system is mounted.
You can see if you can execute the remaining operations (starting with the adb pull)
If not, then I don't know how you can push it. maybe in a next CM6 build it will be available.

You read my mind and made it work. Ive been looking for a widget that would do this properly. All other programs could disable apn but then it would mysteriously start up again on its own.
So far so good.
Thanks
Edit: my phone had a force close and when it rebooted, it had automatically reverted back to the normal power widget, with no sign of your version???

If we can have a toggle for the rest of the items it would be perfect.
Specifically hiding bluetooth, GPS and autosync since I never touch those.

You can select what options do you want to see. So you can hide these three and keep the other ones.

That is strange for me.
I can only see it happening if the original settings apk get installed on the system. I don't think there is any "recovery" rom for that.
What could happen is for it to loose the configured settings and revert to the default one.
There you will have two differences:
1- In my case, the disable mobile data is after the GPS icon. in the original one it after the wifi I think.
2- 2G/3G data is automatically changed when you enable/disable the mobile data.

Perfect
Good work !
Works fine on Vodafone Magic 32b with Chromatic Rom (4.2)
Thanks !

Can you add Airplane Mode toggle, please?

Wow cool
Gonna try it asasp, been looking for this aswell!

Is it workable if I change the phone.apk and settings.apk into yours and resign the ROM?
Cuz my Magic seems fail to mount...
Anyway Good Jobsince I hate the original CM's Power Control Widget much(the number of buttons are fixed to 7,quite hard for me to press the right one...)

[Q] PACman ROM Query (Desire S)

The PACman ROM is very nice, but there are few things which I wanted to hightlight and get answers. Well here are my questions
1. I am unable to go back to Stock UI from Tablet UI no matter what I do, tried rebooting and factory reset but still the same tablet UI. Do I have to reinstall ROM completely again, Is this the only option?
2. Not sure if I am missing on some settings, the contacts are not linked automatically (gmail ID and phone number). Not a big deal but if someone knows that would be great.
3. I don't like the full screen caller, can we disable it by any chance? or make it like sense 3.6?
Will get back with any queury after complete usage. Thanks

follow this steps

[Q]Automatic Brightness

LG P500 running cm10.1 4.1.2 unofficial final build i go to settings system status bar there is a part where it says brightness so i can slide my finger on the status bar to control brightness quickly but it wont let me its grayed out and under it says automatic brightness is enabled but before i got it to work and then now it shows that so it doesnt work now what do i do i checked under display and automatic brightness isnt ticked and lg p500 doesnt even have the ambient light sensor help!

Help!

Screenshot provided help please!

please help screen shot shown!

help!

hekp

helP!

I think you must go to system setings, notification drawer, and edit widget buttons, an tune brightness by ticking the icon in status bar, that autobrightness is from CM10 that is now ported on O1 and is useless but it wil remain there

Yes I use the brightness clicker widget button from the notification slider but its not as great as the brightness slider how do I make automatic brightness disabled even though I can't even tick or unstick it because there is no ambient light sensor and it still says automatic Britney's is enabled help

that is the problem, it cannot be removed, use stock rom if you want everything stable and fit where it has to be, if not, that is the idea of custom roms, you will have to live with some issues, or just try other rom
ok, maybe you will need to fix permissions to make it work back, make it from terminal with comand "emissions" or from recovery->advanced
or maybe a reset, format system and flash again that rom you use and do a nandroid backup or backup your launcher preferences

Okay I will type emissions in terminal to fix permissions
Does fix permissions delete anything? Is it safe?

Or its bug in rom ,try cm10.1 4.2.2

help

just reinstall them, use TITANIUM backup for aps that you use daily, I use ICS roms and didn't bother with that,
most important things in a rom is performance/stability/battery life, other things is just playing
the problem is solved or not? try other roms, experiment, try to find what is suitable for you, do not hang on something that you are not able to fix, in time, maybe, you will, but you have to do rom developing/porting, if not, just move foward, this phone was never ment to run ICS/JB, so THX to people that have brought that to this for us to play with

mediapad t5 dpi settings

Hi,
i´m a little confused. I tried to change the dpi settings on my new mediapad t5 under system -> developer options -> smallest width to 800 (and i tried 700,that was changed to 702) but when i reboot it is resetted to 566.
I also tried to chage it with the tool "minimal_adb_fastboot_1.4.3_portable" and used the command adb shell wm density 800 && adb reboot the device does a reboot but the value is not changed. i dont want to root the device right now. how can i change the dpi without rooting, what did i wrong?

That's "normal" I can't keep it when I reboot too.
for my end I'm ok rooting but I didn't found a way to make it stay after a reboot.
I'm really waiting for custom rom... Really good tablet but not-so-good EMUI8...

is it possible to have a start script that will set the dpi to 700 on every boot? does someone know how to implement a startscript without root?

Also trying to achieve this now. But get the same problem.
It's set to normall again after rebooting.
From the other side, USB debugging is also not holding it's settings. So don't know if it's related to each other somehow.
I also noticed that the left side icons in the settings menu dissapear when changing dpi setting above 640?
So far rebooting is the only way to get them back (resetting dpi) for me.
Annyone found a sollution already for this? Or can someone confirm rooting will help (keeping the stock ROM)?

I am also looking for solution but no clue !
The only solution is Polished Custom Rom and it's not available yet!
I am using this tab for Netflix and Prime only. So, right now I am happy with EMUI 8.

Hey guys, this has already been asked in this forum somewhere.. I've changed my dpi to a usable setting although I'm not sure what it's actually set to!
Use Quickshortcutmaker, grab it from play store. You can create a home screen icon to open vision settings. Open the settings and set everything to small.
I've done this and it persists through a reboot. I can't tell you if it's 700 but it's way better than the insane huge stock settings

Question Alternative EQ application for joying UIS7862, 6GB+128GB,10.1" 1920x1200

Hi,
I just bought a joying UIS7862, 6GB+128GB,10.1" 1920x1200 head unit. I am not sure what type this unit is, is it a TS10?
The problem is that in third party applications everything is very small, small fonts, small details. This applies to apps like tidal, google maps, chrome etc. It is basically impossible to use these apps comfortably.
There is no "font size" or "display size" option in the device settings.
I solved the problem by changing the "smallest width" setting in the developer options from 1200 to 700. The apps look good now. the built-in apps also look good, except for the EQ app and the built-in launcher.
The launcher is not displayed at all, however, this problem can be easily solved by installing another launcher such as car web guru, which works great.
The real problem is with the EQ application which does not scale well. Some controls are out of screen, others are displayed incorrectly.
Is there an alternative application that supports dsp functions (dsp version of this device is dsp55) and will be displayed correctly?
Maybe someone has another way to solve the problem I described.
Marek.

I've done the same change on my 11.6 version. Did you do a full system reboot after changing the dpi setting? I had the same issue until I did a full reboot, then the system apps changed to the appropriate dpi scaling. You may want to change the dpi in small increments as well until everything looks correct.

What do you mean by 'full reboot"? All other system aps scale well, only eq app doesn't.

Just the Reboot from the top drop down menu. I guess I had not noticed if the EQ app was significantly larger in scale after the dpi change.

You missed the FYT forum listing your device....
Yet another.
Requested mod moves to FYT.

I think I did it before, but to be sure I did a reboot today few times. It didn't help.

This happened on my 10 inch joying (airmont sc9853i). I hated it so much. Here's what I did. Should work for you.
Enable ADB by.... (or using Termux app)
- going to settings > system > developer options > 3368 > confirm
- at the top of the screen on right, tap three dots overflow menu icon > USB computer connection > pick the 2nd one (usually the one not selected on restarts)
- under where it says developer option, inline where it says "On", make sure that toggle switch is "ON"
- scroll down to, USB debugging, enable
Find the OTG port on the back of your unit. plug in a laptop with adb installed properly so you can 'adb shell'
From that shell, type enter the command 'wm' to being up its help.
what you are looking for is the correct "wm overscan [LEFT,TOP,RIGHT,BOTTOM]"
"wm overscan 10,0,0,0" worked great for me
dont worry about any white bars, they will go away after the screen redraws (switch apps or something)
I never adjusted any fonts or dpi in the system

Thank you. And what about smallest width setting? Should it go back to 1200 as it was originally?

Yea. See if it makes any weird apps better. If not, leave it.

It turned out that the overscan setting didn't solve my problem, however Your answer pointed me in right direction. Thank you.

What was that right direction, post what you learnt so others may prosper

I mean that I started to experiment with adb and wm command, which I was not aware of before. Then I had the idea that I will use tasker to change DPI each time the eq app started and change it back on the exit. But this didn't work. Tasker can not change DPI in my case. I get error 1 message. So when I want to use this app I manually change DPI. The truth is I don't mess much with those settings once I've sett it to my liking....

Hi may I know what do you changed to ? I

I believe I set it to 720p (1280x720), common resolutions seem to work the best. I've since exchanged this unit for the new 11.6 slim so I can't say for sure.
