Compared to JP2 second edition:
[+] JP2 is missing "Edit" button to edit/remove/add Touch Wiz screens, it exists in JPC
[+] More responsive than JP2 especially after factory reset, no lag fix required (IMHO)
[+] JP2 is much darker in auto brightness settings
[+] After turning off data connections and turning them on - the connection is lost - bug fixed in JPC
[-] Serious bug in Exchange client - reply to an email sends... original message, loosing all the reply text !!! <---- THIS IS BLOCKER BUG FOR BUSINESS USERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please add it to the main list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In general JPC seems to be "more final" build than JP2 second edition

+ The activities tab in Contact is working (never got it working in 2.1 or JP3)
+ Customisation of the 7 homepages is different (all showed on same page and size change according to number of screen)
+ SMS icon/sortcut in call keyboard
Edit: Gps working only outside (not getting any gps view inside ...)

Updated Music Player! higher res album art, volume controls on opposite sides, slightly visually different

+ better gsm signal
+ fast, responsive (although others seem to point to opposite)
+ faster CPU performance even though JIT is not enabled (from what I know)
+ no need for lagfix (again, that is available for me, others say the opposite)
Flashed from the first try, without problems, no IMEI change or other problems that seem to apply to other users.

UA string setting missing from advanced debug settings on browser.

- TouchWiz "forgets" list of installed apps quite often and has to reload it which takes quite long (about 2 min with 10 pages of apps here)

GPS is not fixed. It is much better than before but still lags considerably for car navigation and often loses position for a few seconds.
Other than that the firmware looks good.

[-] On my end appbrain does not work properly It does not see my selected apps, logging in and out does not help. checked on my computer and i see my list online.

Music Player is playing folders!

Which we would do were it not for a portion of your information being misleading or incorrect.
device vibrates once it has finished the shut down sequence
Other firmwares have done this. Not new.
GPS issues are fixed
They are improved. Still seeing slight inaccuracies with street side. Others reporting much quicker lock on but positioning still inaccurate when traveling, however with less severity.
pinch to zoom on touchwiz
Still not as smooth as the pinch to zoom out on Launcher Pro. Incorrectly detects it as an attempt to swipe the page left/right with some regularity.
# Swype auto-capitalization gets it wrong and does the first two letters instead of one
Can not reproduce this despite attempts across multiple apps. Typing "The quick brown fox jumped. He liked to jump over the dog" refuses to produce double capitalization upon auto-capping of new sentence.
product code changes
Not necessarily, some had the KOR code before flashing to JPC, and some didn't have it even after flashing. Either way it's reversible, as demonstrated in the [GUIDE] thread.
but quadrant will not score over 2000 any more (~1850)
Absolutely wrong.

Gps lock fast but don't stay lock on movement
For swype try it on skyfire (web browser) or even the stock browser almost every text box (but not the adress one)

Don't know if it's because of the firmware or something else but market is really acting crap yesterday and today.
IF an app downloads it just doesn't install... Keeps hanging on 'downloading' even though the entire amount of data is downloaded.

+ Screenshot by holding back key and pressing home
+ Accelerometer calibration in display menu (horizontal calibration)
+ Calendar defaults to Google calendar if using Google account

Yeah, I had similar problem between 2pm and 7pm HK time too, download got stuck. It seems to be fine now.

Are the black levels fixed in the videoplayer? in JP2 it was ugly gray just like on really bad lcd screens.

For some reason I got a wierd bug, not sure how to replicate it.
When in a phone conversation, the loud speaker button got "jammed" and I couldn`t get it to turn off. I tried pushing it several times, nothing. It only ended when I closed the conversation.

Serious bug when i tried JPC
Huge memory leak with the music player when loading lots of music from the external SD
Causes the phone to grind to a halt and then hang

besides equalizer, the music player has "effect" options

This is not new, this was even on the 2.1 firmware that came with my phone (can't recall exact firmware version).
Anyway, useful thread. I like the new overview we get when the pinch the homescreen and even the app menu

My first app! A text editor without size limit

I am proud to present Need To Write!
It's a text editor unlimited by file sizes and offers a lot of customization and power tools
Completely FREE version can be downloaded here!

Difference between Paid and Free version is mainly in the poweruser options.
Paid version mainly adds lotsa poweruser options ;D
1) Remembers up to 9999 undo/redo operations
2) Control over the End-Of-Line characters (Apple, Unix and Windows tend to handle different End-Of-Line differently when doing plain text editing)
3) Allows user to specify buffer size
4) Allows custom fonts and background images
5) Allows user to customize 6 extra Themes in addition to the built-in 3 Themes.
6) Allows toggling of word wrap
7) Continuous Text to Speech.
8) Automatic backup of multiple files to user specified locations on SD card
Free version:
1) Remembers just 1 undo/redo operation, plus 1 reset buffer
2) Defaults to Android EOL handling
4) Fixed 10000 buffer size
5) Custom fonts and backgrounds disabled. You can still paint over the existing 3 themes with a solid color though, just adjust your Opacity bar in your themes dialog.
6) Customization of 3 built in Themes.
7) Always wordwrap
8) Text to Speech reads single paragraphs only.
9) Automatic backup of 1 file to user specified location on SD card
Version 1.71 features:
1) A File List, which works like a Bookshelf/Task_list/Recent_files hybrid management system. So basically, you can use it as a Task list, text bookreader, and text file editor as well.
2) Edit mode with unlimited file size, and tracking system to resume your reading/editing progress.
3) HTML mode! Supports non html files as well.
4) Text to Speech! I'm gonna use it to listening to ebooks when my eyes are tired
5) GoTo, Search, Replace, Cut, Copy, and Paste
6) Multiple Undo and Redo with undo history up to 9999(for the full version). Also comes with a sliding bar to easily rewind and fast forward the changes you made.
7) Themes! Customizable display; you can specify your own background images, custom fonts, background and font colors, line spacing, indents etc.
8) Landscape mode
9) EditText view with inertia scrolling, and yet no irritating problems of the view rectangle not being called to show your cursor, nor the rectangle jumping all over the place when you try to place your cursor far away.
10) Toggleable word wrap and autocapitalization (if supported by keyboard app)
11) Specify what End-Of-Line chars for saving your files with.
12) Tons of encoding options from ISO, windows 125_, Cyrillic, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc.
13) Share your files or just specific lines of selected text via email, bluetooth etc.
14) Automatic backup of files to user specified locations on SD card
15) HTML mode to easily switch between plain text and HTML view
If you like what you see, download now!
Oooops, double post
Latest version 1.3 is up!
Major changes are:
- Bookshelf/memo_list/recent_files hybrid system. So basically, you can use it as a memo list, bookreader, and text file editor as well.
- Fixed most of the pesky question marks by using windows-1252 as the default encoding.
- Added a lot of encoding options from ISO, windows 125_, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese.
- Themes! Customizable themes, and you can specify your own background images (Paid version only).
- Share your files via email/bluetooth etc.
- Built in file browser
- No more popup nag box! :s
Search and replace only works within the displayed text for now.
New version 1.35!
New features:
1) Toggleable word wrap
2) Specify which type of End-Of-Line chars to use when saving files, '\r', '\n', or '\r'+'\n'
3) Improved Find/Replace and GoTo function. Background no longer dims.
4) Stability fixes, some quite important ones. Make sure you update if you haven't yet!

With Eclipse IDE and Java, picking it up as I went along . Crux of the whole app is the proper loading and saving of file chunks, customizing the EditText behavior, and its backup system.
But actually not many people are downloading it
New version 1.40!
NTW now talks! Comes with ability to adjust pitch, speech rate, and supported languages.
But be warned, I think Android's Text to Speech is a bit buggy, so the voice doesn't really respond consistently to my controls for pitch and speech rate.
Edit: I found out it does respond consistently, but I have to be patient and wait for the next sentence to play naturally, instead of pressing stop and play for instant replay
v1.41 is out. It only patches NTW crashing due to certain Text to Speech settings. Download if you encounter this crashing.
why not put this awesome app in the market? I'm quite sure that all txt editors currently available do have size limit
a suggestion: it needs to support more codes like
UTF-8
UTF-16BE
UTF-16LE
UTF-32BE
UTF-32LE
WINDOWS-1251
WINDOWS-1252
WINDOWS-1253
WINDOWS-1255
SHIFT_JIS
ISO-2022-JP
ISO-2022-CN
ISO-2022-KR
ISO-8859-5
ISO-8859-7
ISO-8859-8
BIG5
GB18030
EUC-JP
EUC-KR
EUC-TW
IBM855
IBM866
KOI8-R
MACCYRILLIC
HZ-GB-2312
X-ISO-10646-UCS-4-3412
X-ISO-10646-UCS-4-2143
edit: oh i have found it. the market search system s*cks .typing the app name and not find in the start but middle of the list
It does already support many of the encodings you listed, including all 5 of the UTF encodings, most Windows 125*, ISO8859-*, EUC-JP, EUC-KR, Big5, Shift-JIS, variants of GBK, etc etc
However, it doesn't really do auto detection... Only autodetects UTF encodings provided that your file specifies the BOM bytes for it. For files without BOM or with BOM for the other encodings, you have to manually select its encoding from the list in Tools-->Themes-->Encoding

Hmmm, this list of encodings look familar, are you the developer for Jota text editor?
http://android-apps.com/applications/tools/jota-text-editor/
I just found out that NTW crashes on startup on the Galaxy Ses owned by 2 of my mom's friends. They are typical users who experience lots of lag on their Galaxy S because they never tweak, optimize, root, upgrade to 2.2, or even use an external sdcard. Nevertheless, I am quite bemused why NTW crashes so consistently on their Galaxy S but not mine, considering that NTW does not require much system resources, nor the external sdcard to run.
I would be very grateful if any Galaxy S users would feedback to me if NTW regularly crash on their phones as well.
Ok, I think I've solved the crashing problem some of you may be experiencing. Hopefully anyway......
v1.42
- Patches NTW crashing due to your phone's Text to Speech settings or lack of TTS.
- More encodings: ISO-2022 for JP, KR & CN. KOI-8R for russian.
Heheheheh!!! Always wanted to implement multiple undo/redo, but only recently figured out how to do so efficiently
v1.45
- Multiple undo/redo! Undo History bar allows easy rewinding or fast forwarding of your changes, maxed at 9999 steps.
"Reset chunk" replaces the original Undo/Redo menu option.
Clicking of "Reset chunk" is recorded in Undo history.
Note: Free version has Undo history of only 1 in addition to "Reset chunk".
- Improved File Browser
- Streamlined File List interface.
Long press to view the preview, file properties, "Forget" and "Share" options.
NTW v1.47 is out!
Basically, this update makes the search, goTo, and undo/redo operations much easier than before. It also makes much better use of the space at the top which was previously just showing the filename and current %.
- Implemented fast scroll thumbs for browser and NTW shelf .
- Icon toolbar for convenient undo/redo, goTo, search, load next/prev chunk. Long click of undo/redo buttons pop up the undo history bar. Click the % display to shwo the goTo dialog.
- Improved goTo function.
NTW v1.48 is out!
- Fast scroll thumb for the main text box! (Built from scratch, whew! The behavior of ListView's fast scroll thumb was really tough to emulate properly )
- Progress bar above icon bar to show you where is your currently loaded chunk.
- Search backwards in addition to searching forwards. Plus some tweaks to search behavior
v1.49 is out!
This is mostly tweaking the behavior, performance and efficiency of undo/redo, search and replace, and the cursor.
- Fixed search backwards so that it works for single char searches too.
- Tweaks to UI of file browser and File List when adding/forgetting files
- Changed Replace operation so it is more compatible with undo/redo
- Fixed the auto shifting of cursor interfering with delete by holding down delete key
- Minor cursor tweaks and speed enhancement to File List
V1.51 is out!
New features:
- Incredibly cool Viking android as fast scroll icon!
- Even more incredibly cool menu icons!
- Delete command now available in file browser. This should be useful if you sometimes find yourself itching to do some file clean up from within NTW itself.
- Adjustments to left and right indent seekbar range and auto fadeout time of fast scroll icon.
- Self-fading pop up dialog boxes for messages like successful save, successful overwrite, or other error messages. I made the fadeout time for non-error related messages quite fast, but if you still find them irritating, let me know and I'll program in a check box to toggle their existence.
V1.52 is out!
Changes:
- File List now displays the file name only.
- Added shortcut to change "Encoding". Long press the main editing window to bring up the context menu, then select "Encoding Options".
- Ratings button, and my blog address added into Help
- Text cursor will no longer move along with the scrolling page.
- Tablet users should (hopefully) be able to find NTW in the Market now.
- NTW now supports only Android v 2.2 or higher. I think NTW was crashing for for v2.1.
I'm thinking I should probably move on to something else for now. Have an idea for an interesting variation of a file explorer....
I'll get back to NTW as and when I have time, maybe improve the search and replace or the GoTo % accuracy etc.
Hi,
why it is said "my device is not compatible"
when I try to install from market?
I 'm using Motorola MB525(defy)

MIUI for Beginners​
Source: http://en.miui.com/a-10.html
Already flashed MIUI ROM? OK, pick up your phone now, let’s start our happy journey of MIUI ROM.
The first step: selecting apps
Various apps will greatly enrich your cell phone, so firstly let’s select the apps to your taste. Use the Android Market and download what you would like. If you are using a backup app and restoring apps from a previous ROM, only restore the apps and not the data. Otherwise that will create a lot of force close issues.
Tip: How to copy files from the computer to the phone? First connect your phone to your computer via data cable, pull down the notification panel from the top of the phone, click “USB connected”, and then click "Turn on USB storage”.
After copying, do not forget to select the option of “Turn off USB storage”, otherwise "File Manager” in the phone will not be able to find the sd card, as it is being occupied by the computer.
Now I have a lot of apps, how to put them in order?
All apps successfully installed are listed on the desktop, however, they may not be in the order you want, how to put them in order?
Long press an app icon and then you may move it freely. When it is moved to the screen border, the screen will automatically switch to the next screen.
How to add a screen? Use two fingers to pinch on the desktop to enter screen thumbnail mode. Then you may add or delete screens.
How to delete an app? Long press the app icon you want to delete, drag it on top of the trash box and click OK to delete it.
The second step: let's make your phone different.
A phone without style is nothing remarkable, so let’s make your phone different!
Changing wallpaper: Click Menu button on the desktop, select “Change Wallpaper” to replace the wallpaper. In addition to the existing wallpaper in the phone, thousands of pieces of wallpaper are also available online.
Changing theme: Themes make great changes to your interface style. Click “Theme Manager” on the desktop to select the theme you like. Also, more online themes are available online.
Selecting ringtones and more: click “Settings” on the desktop to set call and notification ringtones. In “Personalization” under “Personal” tab, you may find more options.
The third step: it’s time for some advanced techniques!
Well, you are no longer a beginner now, so let’s learn some advanced techniques.
Adding widgets on the desktop: press the Menu button on the desktop, select "Edit Mode", and then click the icon on the upper right corner to access the interface of “Add Widgets”. Choose your favorite widget on the top, and then drag it to the screen below.
Using folders to manage desktop apps: in the interface of “Add Widgets”, drag [Folder] to the desktop. You may drag multiple apps into folders to classify them. After opening the folder, you may click the edit icon in the upper left corner to rename the folder.
Using toggles panel to improve efficiency: drag the notification panel down from the top, click "Toggles" to go to the toggles panel (It goes to the toggles panel in default of notice.) On the panel are listed the most commonly used toggles, you may click to quickly enable or disable a toggle. Long press on the icon will launch the settings for that icon.
Guest mode: enable the “Guest Mode” toggle in the panel, and your calls and text messages logs will be hidden, and all installed applications cannot be removed. You may have a try when you need to show your phone to guests or children.
Importing contacts or binding accounts: you may use some apps to import a batch of contacts, or bind Google account directly in "Settings"> "Personal"> "Accounts & Sync Settings" to sync contacts at any time.
How to print screens? Press "Menu" key and "Volume Down" key at the same time to print a screen. The printed image is saved in the directory of MIUI in the SD card.
How to copy files from the computer without using the data cable? In case of a Wi-Fi connection, enter “File Manager” on the desktop, select the tab of "Remote Administration" to start the service, and then you will get an address. Enter the given address on the computer, then you may copy files without using a data cable!

I think I might leave cyanogen for this lol
*edit* so tried this out for a couple of hours
The ui is beautiful and the rom overall is smooth, but got a lot of fc from the theme chooser, nofication setting and when making phone calls.

You should. Like I've said before, after trying many many ROM's, I've come to the conclusion that MIUI is EVERYTHING that I want in my phone and there will be no looking back to any other ROM's out there.
OMG OMG OMG official miui..... not a port....
Does the official rom still have the theme engine problem? I didnt see it in the changelog, and it was the only thing keeping me from using the miui ports.

Miui Rocks....it was the first Rom that truly set itself apart from CM roms and the like. It was my dd for a while but updates started coming out that required full rlashing, it became pointless. It seems that they are a lot more stable now....might come bqck and check them out again.
OP incredible job on the detail of your posts. One car certainly tell that you are not just theming and calling it a new tommy....cheers!

does MIUI have a good calendar/agenda app? I can't find one that beats Sense or Go Launcher EX at the moment.
Agenda Widget Plus and Pure Grid Calendar aren't as smooth or as well integrated =/
So beautiful and so tempting but it seems that it will never ever manage to utilize the functionality of the G2's Quick Keys =(

Same. Also does that when changing ringtones for notifications, though they do seem to apply anyway.

Should be fixed with today's (Friday) build.
With all due respect, what is the benefit of an 'official' MIUI ROM over any of the currently-maintained ports such as OsiMood? It does not seem like we are going to get G2-specific features like Quick Keys or Tab working.
Is the performance any better than these 'unofficial' ports?

This being official, I would assume that they are going to look at the g2 specific features a bit more?
Maybe I'm just being optimistic
Ima give the 3 roms a whirl, finally.
My phone number: Unknown
One issue I've noticed with this as well is that it can't read my phone number from the SIM card. That can cause issues with certain apps that require it (like TikL, for example).
Menu > Settings > System > About Phone > More information > Status
For me, that shows "My phone number: Unknown". And yes, I am sure my phone number is present on the SIM.

MIUI for Beginners​
Source: http://en.miui.com/a-10.html
Already flashed MIUI ROM? OK, pick up your phone now, let’s start our happy journey of MIUI ROM.
The first step: selecting apps
Various apps will greatly enrich your cell phone, so firstly let’s select the apps to your taste. Use the Android Market and download what you would like. If you are using a backup app and restoring apps from a previous ROM, only restore the apps and not the data. Otherwise that will create a lot of force close issues.
Tip: How to copy files from the computer to the phone? First connect your phone to your computer via data cable, pull down the notification panel from the top of the phone, click “USB connected”, and then click "Turn on USB storage”.
After copying, do not forget to select the option of “Turn off USB storage”, otherwise "File Manager” in the phone will not be able to find the sd card, as it is being occupied by the computer.
Now I have a lot of apps, how to put them in order?
All apps successfully installed are listed on the desktop, however, they may not be in the order you want, how to put them in order?
Long press an app icon and then you may move it freely. When it is moved to the screen border, the screen will automatically switch to the next screen.
How to add a screen? Use two fingers to pinch on the desktop to enter screen thumbnail mode. Then you may add or delete screens.
How to delete an app? Long press the app icon you want to delete, drag it on top of the trash box and click OK to delete it.
The second step: let's make your phone different.
A phone without style is nothing remarkable, so let’s make your phone different!
Changing wallpaper: Click Menu button on the desktop, select “Change Wallpaper” to replace the wallpaper. In addition to the existing wallpaper in the phone, thousands of pieces of wallpaper are also available online.
Changing theme: Themes make great changes to your interface style. Click “Theme Manager” on the desktop to select the theme you like. Also, more online themes are available online.
Selecting ringtones and more: click “Settings” on the desktop to set call and notification ringtones. In “Personalization” under “Personal” tab, you may find more options.
The third step: it’s time for some advanced techniques!
Well, you are no longer a beginner now, so let’s learn some advanced techniques.
Adding widgets on the desktop: press the Menu button on the desktop, select "Edit Mode", and then click the icon on the upper right corner to access the interface of “Add Widgets”. Choose your favorite widget on the top, and then drag it to the screen below.
Using folders to manage desktop apps: in the interface of “Add Widgets”, drag [Folder] to the desktop. You may drag multiple apps into folders to classify them. After opening the folder, you may click the edit icon in the upper left corner to rename the folder.
Using toggles panel to improve efficiency: drag the notification panel down from the top, click "Toggles" to go to the toggles panel (It goes to the toggles panel in default of notice.) On the panel are listed the most commonly used toggles, you may click to quickly enable or disable a toggle. Long press on the icon will launch the settings for that icon.
Guest mode: enable the “Guest Mode” toggle in the panel, and your calls and text messages logs will be hidden, and all installed applications cannot be removed. You may have a try when you need to show your phone to guests or children.
Importing contacts or binding accounts: you may use some apps to import a batch of contacts, or bind Google account directly in "Settings"> "Personal"> "Accounts & Sync Settings" to sync contacts at any time.
How to print screens? Press "Menu" key and "Volume Down" key at the same time to print a screen. The printed image is saved in the directory of MIUI in the SD card.
How to copy files from the computer without using the data cable? In case of a Wi-Fi connection, enter “File Manager” on the desktop, select the tab of "Remote Administration" to start the service, and then you will get an address. Enter the given address on the computer, then you may copy files without using a data cable!

How to install it?

[TASKER][TUT] Direct Call Feature (like SGS3)

As far as I know, it has not been possible to use the direct call / pick up to call feature from the SGS3 on the SGS2, yet.
And while it is not THE most desirable feature, I decided to try and create a Tasker profile that does the same thing.
As I don't use SMS ever, I set it up for WhatsApp, but the information here is free to be picked up and changed to whatever you like, as long as you post it back.
IDEA:
If you are messaging a contact and suddenly decide to call said contact, you should just pick up the phone and hold it to your ear and the contact will be called.
WHAT YOU NEED:
- Tasker
- WhatsApp
- Any Android Phone with G-Sensor and Accelerometer
TUTORIAL:
1. Preparations:
1.1 Set Tasker as an Accessibility Service. This is necessary, so Tasker can read the current window title and can therefor recognize, if you are currently in WhatsApp
{
"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"
}
2. Creating the profile:
2.1 Open Tasker and click the + at the bottom to create a new profile.
2.2 Name it anything you like. For the sake of this tut it will be called "Call Whatsapp"
2.3 In First Context, click Event, then Sensor, then Gesture
2.4 Give it a name, e.g. "Pick Up"
2.5 In the field Pattern it lets you record the movement you want to assign. Recording is started and stopped through a volume key. Record the pattern you like, in my case it was from flat face up to vertical (with a 90 degree turn towards the ear).
3. Task Selection
3.1 In Task Selection, choose new Task, name it "Call"
3.2 Click + to add action and replicate what you see in the screenshot
3.3 Confirm everything with the Checkmark, until you are back to the Tasker Overview.
4. Adding another Context
4.1 Click your "Call Whatsapp" profile
4.2 Long press the left box "Gesture Pick Up". The overlay "Context Options" will appear
4.3 Click "Add", Application, select WhatsApp and click the Checkmark
5. You are good to go
ALTERNATIVE:
I attached my profile for you to download, if you don't want to go through all the steps. It is still recommended to record your own gesture, so it fits the way you pick up the phone and hold it to your ear. Just download the profile, extract the zip file, copy the xml to your phone and import it in tasker.
Download
If you want to add the same functionality to your messaging client, or Email, Gmail or whatever, you just need to create a very similar profile again, just with another key combination, whichever works for said client.
If you can add anything to improve this, please share. I am sure, there are other , maybe better ways to implement this, through variables that grab the current contact and then call that variable, but for me, tasker's call feature cannot call variables like %CNUM.
EXTENSIONS / CUSTOMIZATIONS:
Using the Ambient Light Sensor & Proximity Sensor
It makes sense to bind at least one of those sensors to the profile, to make sure, the phone is actually lifted to your face, and not just picked up from the table.
Here is a simple guide on how to integrate both sensors, again, this is a very basic approach and open for suggestions and improvements by you guys, so please share, if you tweaked this or found an entirely better way to solve this.
Creating the Proximity Profile
1. Create a new Profile "Proximity"
2. As first Context, select "State", then "Sensor", then "Proximity Sensor" and click the check mark.
3. Create a new task "Proximity On"
4. Add an action by clicking the +, then select "Variable", then "Variable Set"
5. Name it "%Prox" (It is important to use at least one capital letter, so it is available globally)
6. In the field "To", write "On" (without the quotes)
7. Click your way out with the check marks
8. Long click the Proximity On task and select "Add Exit Task"
9. Repeat steps 3 through 7, but name the task "Proximity Off" and set in the field "To", write "Off"
10. Have a look at the screenshots to make sure you are good to go. Drag down the notification bar and cover the proximity sensor to see if the profile "Proximity" can be activated and deactivated.
Creating the Ambient Light Sensor Profile
1. Create a new Profile "Light Sensor"
2. As first Context, select "State", then "Sensor", then "Light Level" and select from 0 to 20 (or customize it to another number, needs testing).
3. Create a new task "Dark"
4. Add an action by clicking the +, then select "Variable", then "Variable Set"
5. Name it "%Dark" (It is important to use at least one capital letter, so it is available globally)
6. In the field "To", write "True" (without the quotes).
7. Click your way out with the check marks
8. Long click the Dark task and select "Add Exit Task"
9. Repeat steps 3 through 7, but name the task "Not Dark" and set in the field "To", write "False"
10. Have a look at the screenshots to check.
Integrating with your existing profile
1. Go to your "Call Whatsapp" profile
2. Click the "Call" task, and click the +
3. Select "Task" and click "Wait Until"
4. Select 1 ms waiting time (necessary)
5. Scroll down to the "Until" field. In the left box, select "%Prox", in the right field, write "On" and make sure, there is a tilde (~) in between.
6. Create another "Wait Until" Task with the Variable "%Dark" and "True"
7. Make sure, these two tasks are first in list, before the key combination macro. You can move them by long clicking, "Cut" and clicking the first action and "Paste"
8. Look at the screenshot.
P.S. I could not get the light sensor to work properly, I had to remove the action and deactivate the profile in my configuration. If someone with an AOSP rom could test, if they get the light sensor to work, please let me know, how.
Other Messaging Clients:
AOSP/AOKP Messaging (Android 4.0.4)
If you have an AOSP/AOKP Rom, chances are, your messaging client looks like this:
In that case, your profile should be set up to look like this:
Unfortunately, this only works in the overview of the messages. If you are currently composing a new message and have already put in some text, the "dpad right" action will bring you to the send button. If somebody has found a general solution that works in all contexts, please let me know and I will modify this post.
If this varies from Gingerbread, please let me know. As Siyah can only dual boot ICS roms, I cannot test Android 2.3.x Roms.
Stock Samsung Messaging (Android 4.0.3)
If you are running a Samsung Stock Rom or any custom Rom based on a Samsung Stock Rom, you Messaging Client probably looks like this:
In that Case, your profile has to look like this:
Notice that the Down button is pressed twice!
If this varies from Gingerbread, please let me know. As Siyah can only dual boot ICS roms, I cannot test Android 2.3.x Roms.
Handcent SMS
Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to integrate Handcent SMS in Tasker. This is due to the fact that in Handcent you can only access the Call button by touch screen and not through key combinations and Tasker is unable to simulate Touch Screen presses. But fortunately there is a direct Call button in every messaging window in Handcent, so you could simply press that.
To Do List:
- Guide for SMS apps (Stock / AOSP) done
- Get the Ambient Light Sensor to work properly
- Maybe integration for Email, Gmail, Social Hub
- Whatever else someone can come up with. Please report your messaging client you want to be explained here.
IT WORKS!!!!!
I might have to set the pickup gesture a little bit better to suit my style, BUT IT WORKS!!! It's amazing thanks for the great contribution!
(had never used tasker before, wow it's cool but still dont know how to work it well)
http://profileify.com/2010/12/06/automatically-change-android-screen-brightness-by-application/
could this profile (maybe tweaked a little) work as a smart stay alternative?
thats great man it works,
though I have 2 questions:
!. How should I tell it to just luanch this task in messaging?
2. Tasker can't read outputs from proximity sensor?
Cool! More! Two thumbs up!
tasker can read the proximity sensor, and i am currently working on integrating it.
i got as far as the task only starting, when the phone is up to your face, it still needs minor tweaking, then i will post it tomorrow.
currently, the problem is, if the task only starts when you have the phone at your face, there is also the risk of touching the (still on) display with your cheek and then it might interrupt the key macro with unwanted touchscreen presses.
to use this in messaging, make a second profile with the same gesture, add messaging as context and use another key combination.
you see, what this does is, press menu, then up, then down, then confirm, because that is how you would get to the "call" button in whatsapp without using the touchscreen. the button combination for messaging is different, as call is not in the menu, but a button on screen. also the button's position varies from rom to rom. as i wrote before, since i have this phone and whatsapp i have not written any sms anymore (they are pretty expensive in germany, while mobile internet is free).
we can certainly work this out though.
and i was thinking about smart stay as well, however, even if one gets the front view camera to work, i don't see how it would be possible to match up with open eyes in tasker. if anyone has an idea, please share.
This is a good idea on each phone to make it achieve the“Direct Call”,but i try in the SMS【samsung self】,don't need up 1time and down 1time,only down 1time is okay.
I find if make a profile is not enough,because the left hand and right hand are different,so i make two profiles,now,my Gnote more like S3.
Thank you again,and sorry for my pool english.
if possible,please add the tips about “hand problem”
Thanks for this tutorial, I think it's a great idea.
I modified it a little to work with the AOSP/AOKP messaging app with the "call" button on-screen rather than in a menu, all you have to do is set it to do just a "dpad right" and then "dpad press" action, rather than the menu, up, down, press actions.
I also added a short vibration to the end so I know if it's calling when I have it up to my ear.
that is great. mind creating a screenshot of your profile?
EDIT: Updated the 2nd and 3rd post with a tutorial for the sensors.
EDIT2: just tested with a bluetooth keyboard. indeed, the aosp messaging macro is "right" then "press". can someone confirm whether the same keys work on samsung stock roms?
Hey this is great. but I would only need it for SMS plus, I have no idea what Tasker is lol or how to use it. Please let me know when you've updated to work with SMS or if you can tell me how awesome work though.
How can I make it works with Stock SMS app and phone app?
I know, i'm a noob, but i never used to create any scripts in tasker
Hi,
thanks for this tip but that is possible with Handcent SMS ?
Thanks
this is generally possible with all messaging clients, i will add simple screenshots of profiles for AOSP and stock samsung sms.
if you are using a 3rd party app like handcent, you can easily find out the key combination for yourself. look for the call feature in an active message. you can use a keyboard with arrow keys, a bluetooth or usb keyboard and simply try and control the device without touchscreen.
EDIT: by the way, it is not often, that i miss the old windows mobile days, but with a green and red call button in the standard repartoire, it would be way easier to do this, you'd just assign the gesture to the green call button and you're good to go. unfortunately, hardware calling buttons are not standard in android and so it looks like it is not possible like that, or am i mistaking? i know there also is a call button on some phones and tasker can actually use its virtual keyboard to press said call and end call buttons, but it would only bring up the phone app, not call the current contact.

On both Handcent and stock SMS, the call button/feature is an on screen button that isnt accessed though the menu. tried the onscreen arrows and those just allow you to scroll through the texts. Not sure if this helps lol
yes, indeed that was helpful, yet too late
i already tested handcent tonight and indeed, it cannot be done.
let me elaborate on that:
tasker cannot virtually use the touch screen, as that would be a major security issue and would not be allowed in android (according to the developer) and although i tested extensively i was not able to get to the call button using only keyboard buttons.
stock sms, however, at least on 4.0.3, can be done through the keyboard. the combination is menu, dpad up, dpad up, dpad press, so just one key off my initial description for whatsapp. i hope this information is enough for most people to be able to create such a profile, as unfortunately, i currently don't have the time to create the templates for screenshots, it might actually take a day or two.

I will try that out and let you know my results. Thanks again.
Edit: Ok, seeing as im on 4.0.4, the combinations for 4.0.3 didnt work. BUT, and a small but, since the "call/phone" icon is at the top, if you change combination to, dpad up, type(enter 1 letter here, any letter), then dpad up but set repeat times to 10, then dpad press. This will highlight your previous sms and then scroll up. This was the only way i found it to work. The thing is, you have to set your text message limit to 10 TOTAL including mms limit. Now, it still works if you want to set your text limit to 100 (for example) but you would have to copy and paste the dpad up repeat times to 10, 10 times to give you a total of 100 "ups" This takes way to long and defeats the purpose. Like I said earlier, I have never played with Tasker or anything like this before so this is what I found. If there was a way to "jump to top" after hitting dpad up x 1, type letter, then this would eliminate every text limit and extra dpad ups. Anyway, I might be doing something wrong all together cause I cant imagine that the stock sms app has changed much from 4.0.3 its just that when i press menu and try hitting up, it takes the menu away. lol it seems like I made a mess.
if you are on 4.0.4, it means you are using an aosp/aokp rom, and assuming you have stock messaging (in this case by stock i mean google, my previous statements about stock were samsung), you can simply use "dpad right" and "dpad press" as posted in#9 and tested and confirmed by myself. i would have never guessed that one though
i usually use 4.0.4 myself, f1 galaxy nexus in fact, but i am dual booting it with the latest samsung rom, which i used to test the samsung stock messaging earlier, which has the double dpad down.
I dunno, I give up lol This was interesting at least. I'm sure someone will figure out how to do it the right way. Also, hope to see "palm swipe" feature also. That'd be fun.
thats great man...

No toolbox on this version. I ported this from MIUIandroid and they do not have a toolkit. MIUI.us builds do have one.

Decided to give this version a try, really liking it so far! The only thing I miss are the additional grid layouts for the homescreen (6x5..etc), any chance of adding them in the future? I usually change the DPI to 240, 6x5 makes everything look less spaced out.

It can be added in later actually. I'm open to suggestions haha. This is actually my first rom/port.
The toolbox is exclusive to MIUI.us builds so these builds will not have it.
Realistically, How does this differ from the slew of MIUIs that are out there? I need the themes to work a lot better and if somehow a dev can manage to have apps in alphabetical order in app menu (w/out creating a folder or installing a different launcher)..I love MIUI UI but too many of the little things don't work properly. Am game to try yours though..Gotta feed my Flash appetite
If it would fix my slug and stuttering I'd be willing to try it. No matter what miui is just slow, I don't think they are optimizing it right.

I've had minimal stuttering while using this and 2.10.26 from the good folks at miui.us as well

Does the carrier text read "Verizon Wireles"? With an "s" missing on the end? Any possibility of removing it or fixing the text? It doesn't take long for my ocd to set in and it will inevitably drive me insane... lol

It's a typo in build.prop. It's fixed for the 2.11.9 release.

Theme manager isn't working for me, it just FC's when I tap on a theme to apply.
EDIT: I was also wondering how to modify the carrier text manually? It currently says "Verizon Wireles".
