SmarToolkit, improve smartphone startmenu

http://www.e-natives.web.id/
I gave it a try, it's amazing even in alpha version

I used it some time ago... So, what can I say? I can say, that it's useless, excluding the operation "Reboot" And the very big "-" is that the "clipboard" is attached to the "red button", so we're losing the possibility: 1) to end the talk as usual, 2) exit from the application as usual. And about 2): We could exit from it also using "Home" button, but now it is used too!! And how do we need to exit from the application???

1) ending talk is still working
2) to exit an application just push the home button twice

First of all - thank you, author, very much!!! VERY light and useful soft
Now - about buggz
Try to begin new SMS, right softkey - try to use addressbook to select recipient number when 2p mode is started Of couse, we can disable this mode during "special" events - but still hope, that this bug can be fixed

Yes, but I used to do "1)" pressing red key for 1 time, not for 5! and "2)" pressing red key too... but if we get accustomed to use this number of keys - it will be great. I couldn't do so

for me this is the most useful software on my SP. Cannot use a smartphone without it!

Camera Button Anyone?

Hi I was just wondering if there was any way of setting a button eg. the Back or Hangoff button , to work as the photo capturing button only in the camera mode? and be able to work as it normally does whenever im doing something else~ thx

Hi,
this new app will allow you to remap the key you want to use. You will have to remap it to emulate Enter. It allows you to use this mapping for example only when the camera is turned on, it's really cool app

thank you so much^^ time to try it out now =)

sry could u help me with one more thing? i figured out how to remap the "back" key to emulate "enter" but i cant seem to get to to only work during camera? could u plz tell me how i can do that? thx

In the keyboard config app go to Menu > Add key
Press key you want to remap
Near the Rule field there is a plus sign, click it.
Then follow the instructions, capturing via stylus works great, you just have to launch camera and then put stylus back in.
The app will create a new rule and the mapping will work only when camera is opened.

It's not entirely correct what you write. I already had that app to remap keys and it works great, didn't think I could use it to emulate enter and map it to my camera. So I did what you wrote but that didn't work. I've figured it out now and here is how I've done it:
1 - Open the remap application
2 - Press key you want to remap
3 - Near the Rule field there is a plus sign, click it.
4 - Then follow the instructions, capturing via stylus works great, you just have to launch camera and then put stylus back in.
5- Event = Click
6 - Action = Emulate key press
7 - Key = Enter
8 - Click ok
9 - Click update config
Now when I click the "end key" the camera takes a picture. This works way better then having to click on the screen itself because it doesn't matter how soft or careful you click the screen, the picture is always a bit blurry of kinda like out of focus.
Thanks for pointing out this great feature!!
Cheers

thx for the replys
i figured out that i needed to first set the 'back' key to defalut key action this allows it to work as usual whenever im doin something else, then add another funtion to the 'back' key to allow it to emulate enter only during camera ^^ if i didnt do the first step the 'back' key is just nothing when the camera isnt on ~
anywayz thx for all ur replys, now i can take great photos XD

Glad you figured that out. I didn't tell you that because I asumed that you just wanted to use the end key as "enter" for your camera and not as "to close a program".
I've set it to click = enter for the camera and long press give me the options to lock the phone and so on....
Cheers!

How to launch a hidden activity?

I'm looking to make a 1x1 shortcut to launch this activity: com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker.UNLOCK
Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?

Try:
-long press on desktop
-custom shortcut
-enter label name, click on "pick your activity" button
-choose between "Activities" (adw), "Any Cut", etc, then scroll down to the activity you mentioned

Unfortunately It's not in the list, hence the "hidden" in the title
I can see the app's activities, but not this specific one.

Install and run Tasker:
Create new Task
Name it Unlock or whatnot
Add from Misc category "Action Intent"
Action: com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker.UNLOCK
Target: Activity
(Leave the rest alone)
Click Done to finish setting the Action Intent
Tap the Icon button in the bottom to give it an Icon (to the left of the X)
Click Done to save the Task
Click Apply to save settings and exit Tasker setup
In Widgetlocker Config:
Add Shortcut
Look for the "Task" shortcut from Tasker
Find your "Unlock" task
Click Make Shortcut
Profit. Although it's faster to swipe

Thanks for this.
Well, no, tapping a single 1x1 button is faster than swiping (hold and drag). But that's not the reason I'm looking to do this. Namely, I don't want to waste a 4x1 row just to unlock when I don't need or want the sliders on either side (I have other widgets that I want to put on my lock screen )
[Edit]: Tasker $$$

Yes, Tasker costs money. But Tasker can do anything.
Here's a partial list of what Tasker does for me...
Home, Work, Meeting, Sleep profiles... Based on time AND location.
Turns on speakerphone when I'm on the phone and turn it face down
Downloads a zip file of data I want for geocaching daily, unzips it so it's ready to digest
Turns up the volume and backlight when Waze (GPS Nav) is running
Backs up my dcim dir (10 minutes) using rsync, as images sometimes go poof
Pings me at 7:20 that it's time to get out the door with my kid to get her to school
Responds to specially tagged email or sms with info such as GPS location, phone number, last call in and out
Sends the same info above to a fixed number if my phone number changes (SIM gets swapped)
Reminds me if I've missed a phone call every N minutes
Gives me extra notification for important emails so I know to look right away
Uploads my current GPS coordinates to my website every 10 minutes
Backup my SD card over Wifi nightly
That's most of the list I have.. Some people have it read SMS to them while in the car, chime N number of times for the time (coo-coo clock).. Some of these (like back up the SD card) requires more stuff (fixed ssh client, generating keys, rsync, etc) but most of the above are all Tasker. Think of Tasker as a GUI interface to create programs (tasks) that run under specific circumstances (Contexts) that executes about anything in the Android API or beyond (it can use Locale plugins, including the Execute plugin etc..)
I can't imagine Android without it. And in case you're curious, what effect on battery life? None that I've ever measured. When I first started using it I monitored battery life for several days and noticed no increase in usage.

Just disable the lock sliders in Widget Locker, and enable one of the button unlocks.
EDIT: Ok, I did it. Unfortunately, my method requires "ShorterCut" from the market (paid app) but much cheaper than Tasker. There may be other ways. Here's what I did.
1. Go to WL and add shortcut
2. Select ShorterCut from the shortcut list
3. Select empty shortcut
4. Go to "Edit Intent"
5. In the first field labeled "Action" put:
Code:
com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker.UNLOCK
6. In the second field labled "Component" type:
Code:
com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker.WidgetLocker
7. Press "Save intent"
8. Edit Shortcut title to whatever you want and change icon to your wishes.
9. Press "Create shortcut"
10. Done

Is it possible to do this with AnyCut?
The fields are Action / Data / Type, and I'm not sure which one to use for the "Component". I got a LauncherPro force close... Weird.

Don't think Anycut's that advanced.
EDIT: Just tried with Bettercut, and same thing happened to me as it did to you. Uninstalling that crap.

I might be missing what you are wanting to do, but you just want to press one button to unlock Widgetlocker correct? I have it installed and in Settings/ Buttons & Imputs there is an option to "Back Button Unlock". I have that checked and all i have to do is hit the back button and it unlocks it for me. There is also an option to unlock with the camera button and/or trackball.

Yes but I don't want it to unlock accidentally, which is possible if using the "back button unlock" feature. And if you put the timer on it, then it just becomes annoying to unlock.

sorry to dig up an old thread but what home app are you using, if you are using a third party app like apex or nova you can just put a shortcut on your widget locker screen to launch that app. thats what i was doing for a while.

Home offscreen button during typing

Is anybody else having this issue? I am coming from Galaxy S4, where the home button is actual physical button, so there I didn't have any issues, but with OPO, when typing, many times when I try to hit spacebar, it hits the top of the Home button. Before it comes up, I do not want to use on screen buttons, I like the size of the screen and don't want it up with software buttons.
I was wondering if anyone has/could write a script to set the buttons to
(Menu)
Short press - Menu
Long Press - Recent Aps
(Home)
Short press - Nothing
Long Press - Home
(Back)
Short Press - back
Long Press - nothing
Or of there is an app that would give me a bit more control over the buttons... or something that can help with this. This is absolutely the only issue I have with the OPO otherwise I love the phone.

Because i currently am running CM12 i can't give exact insturctions but it should be somewhere in settings -> buttons -> ? over there you should be able to give the buttons other values. It is something like menu button: recent apps switcher and if you press that you can change it to a few other things. If this doesn't fill your needs, ask a bit more around I know it is there, because i saw it once.

Yes it is there, but the option for "Home Short Press" is not there, that is hard coded. At least on the ROM I run (LiquidSmooth)

What I need to know is this:
Which key mapping is for Short Press Home, Long Press Home and Long Press Menu. I am within /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl to adjust the mapping manually, but can't seem to find the correct mapping for those 3.
*EDIT*
Ok, so found the key for Home and that is 172, but that disables both the short and long press...

Unfortunately can't install Xposed as it tells me that my device does not support it. Is there one specifically built for us?
I get this error :

Thank you for the link, unfortunately still doesn't work. Same error. I think it is because the ROM I am using is LP and LP uses ART instead of Dalvik and XPosed doesn't work with that. Thank you though for the effort

Yes, ART is the problem.

So I came up with a solution for this issue.
The file in question to be working with is /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
Navigate to this file using a File Browser (Root Explorer is the one I use) that has access to Root and make sure you have R/W rights.
Edit the file above in a text editor > find line : "key 139 MENU" and change it to "key 139 HOME" > and then find line : "key 172 HOME" and change it to "key 172 MENU" > Reboot device for it to take effect after you save
Then, within Settings > Buttons, you can adjust (at least on the ROM I am on), the long and short press of the Menu button.
What comes out is: left button is HOME button, with short/long press actions, middle button is MENU with just long action (set short action to NONE), and right button is BACK button untouched.
This way if I am typing, and want to hit space bar, accidentally hitting the middle button will not bring me to the main screen. It will take a while to get used to it, but it does resolve my issue.

How to get rid of volume warning?

I have a bluetooth speaker that I use on occasion. I have tasker set up so that when I connect the speaker it automatically loads pandora on my phone, waits a few seconds, then sets media volume to max (15). However, it doesn't seem to be able to set the volume up high enough and I think it's because of the volume limit and the warning. Is there any workaround for this without rooting right now?

I am having the same issue and am also looking for a way to get rid of the high volume warning message.
Thanks!

You can use autoinput. It is a tasker plugin. You can set it to hit ok when the warning message comes up, then repeat the max volume when the message is gone.

I've installed it and tried to get autoinput going, but I can't figure out exactly which options to put. I see it as an option in tasker as a plugin, but then I have to choose between action, global action, modes, root, screen capture, UI query or unlock screen. I've tried some different combinations, mostly with action, but can't seem to figure it out. Any specifics would be appreciated.

You want to go to auto input action. Then select configure.
You want to select click for action
Text for field type
The I think field text would be "ok" so that is the field that is clicked when the box comes up.

Thanks for the help. I finally got this to work. I tried it your way and it didn't seem to work, but, after messing with it (for a log longer than I'd like to admit), I hit the easy setup button at the top, then after swiping away a couple of windows I was able to press volume up until the volume warning came up and I hit "OK". When I went back into tasker it asked me if I wanted to choose the field coordinates or the text field "OK". I just chose OK and the rest was just setting up timings.
If anyone is curious how I got it set up I've attached a screenshot of the tasker screen. Unfortunately it doesn't show anything about the OK screen since that was done through the easy setup.
