App to shutdown phone?

Hi, everyone. Does anybody know of an app or a way to shutdown the phone at a predetermined time. Reason I'm asking is it would be great to be able to shutdown my phone while still charging at say 5:30 am and have it ready for me when I get up at 6:00. This is all related to the battery "bug" that our dincs seems to have. Thanks

If you charge via a computer i'm sure you can write a simple command line script that would issue a shutdown through the adb shell

That certainly is an option even though I do not normally charge via the computer. One problem with this is I would have to leave the computer on in order to provide power to the USB ports. Does anyone know of an app?

Is this "bug" that we have something that can be fixed via an OTA update or is it a hardware problem

Its not a bug. The N1 was the same way. To get a full charge you needed to have the phone off. Again, not a bug with the Inc but rather the way HTC or Google has programmed the battery to behave. at least in 2.1.

Yeah, definitely seems to be by design. Just wondering why HTC or Google would do this? Anyway, I have been searching the market for an app this will allow me to input a set time for the phone to shut down for this very reason. Still have not found anything.

not really sure what you would have to put in the script but you could run a script in the app called gscript
Edit: im bored at work ill see what i can do with gscript to maybe write something for ya.

nvm ... i have a script, but it doesn't seem to work consistently. I will upload it if I can get it to work all the time.

he wants the phone to just shutoff by itself tho without using a computer to tell it to do it.

Well i got the solution for you now you just need to get someone to right a script for you to watch the time and do the shutdown at a specified time.
Get locale and then get the ase plugin app which allows you to start a script at a curtain time.

Yep, that's what I was working on. The script was really simple, I just had to mod ASE to give it extra permissions. I tested this thoroughly and it works well. You can setup a trigger in ASE to run the script daily at the same time.
NOTE: The first time this script runs, you will be shown a 'Complete action using' menu of intents to use to complete the action. Make sure you check the 'Use by default for this action' and select Android System to complete the action. (still working on that)
Instructions:
1. Download and extract the attached zip.
2. Install the apk that is inside.
3. Open ASE and press the menu key-->View-->Interpreters
4. Press menu-->Add and select Lua 5.1.4 from the menu
5. After Lua is installed (should be fairly quick) press back to get back to the scripts screen
6. Next, push the script to your sd card
Code:
adb push PowerDown.lua /sdcard/ase/scripts/
7. Now press menu-->View-->Triggers
8. In the Triggers menu press menu-->Add Repeating and select Repeating from the menu
9. Select the script we just pushed over, PowerDown.lua
10. Select Start in Background
11. In the Repeat Every popup, set the interval for one day and press Set (make sure you do this at 1730 or when you want it to run)
12. You are now finished setting up ASE
Make sure add ASE to your task manager Ignore list so it is not killed. If you like, you can add a shortcut for the script on your home screen. To do this, go through the motions of adding a shortcut to your home screen and select ASE from the menu of shortcuts. Last, select your script from the list. Now, simply tapping the icon will cause the phone to shutdown.
I hope this helps.

This sounds great. I will test tonight when I get off work. Thanks for taking the time to do this!

In your instructions ihpft69, how do I push the script to SD card?
"adb push PowerDown.lua /sdcard/ase/scripts/"

htfp69, I have tested this out successfully. One question though. Is there a way to get this to run in locale? For some reason when I clear Android System defaults in menu-->settings-->applications it will work with locale. However, when I attempt it a second time I can see that ASE is running but it does not power off the phone. Thanks again for your help.

The problem is the shutdown permission is reserved for the system only. You cannot give an application this permission either. Thus only the system can perform the intent. I had to add an intent filter to get the pop-up so you can choose the system to perform the intent. For some reason, though, the system ignores defaulted requests so you have to leave that box unchecked for it to work.
BTW, that Locale app is pretty neat. I didnt know it worked with ase. It's much better than using those triggers.

Love the work you've done on this script. I have a question though, if I set it to use the system by default, it doesn't work, but if I dont check it, every time it runs it asks what to use. Can it run by itself yet or is that something you're still working on?

^agreed, love the way the script is done

I have the same need but I need my device to restart at a schedule time each day....there is an app on the market and I have been in back-forth email with the developer. The restart & shutdown function do not work on the Driod right now..
1. first you have to be rooted for this function of the app, which I am (unrevoked)
2. the "/system/bin" is not in the system search path for the "/system/bin/reboot" to work...I can run it manually via the shell and it will reboot. He plans to fix this...
the app is here: http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.connectivetools.ctschedulerl
Can you make your app to reboot the phone? I do not mind supporting development...
Thx

Is there any way to install the stock android keyboard?

As above, I'm using htc desire by the way.

Anyone can help out on this?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I think what you're looking for is called LatinIME.apk.
You can either get it and extract it from a ROM that already has it - LeeDroid 1.8 (in sys/apps) for instance and use adb to push it to your device (or copy it to your sd card and use a file manager like Android Mate that you can download from the market and use the 'instal' tab) - or, search about and you might find someone has created a zip file that you can flash from recovery.

Does that mean there is no apk that I can install with?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I'd like this keyboard too! It's by far the best one I've used on my desire.
However. It seems to be very difficult to get it!

OK - here's how I did it...
* Download the attached apk file to the root of your SD card.
* Install the apk
I used 'Android Mate' to do this (available for free from the market). This is done by selecting the install tab across the top of Android Mate which will find the apk you just downloaded. Tap on it to install.
There are probably a heap of different ways to install the apk - I just find the Android Mate way the easiest - no need for commands etc. and the software is free.
* Restart your Desire.
* Go to email, select menu > compose and hold your finger down on the text input area. This will give you an option to select 'input method'. Choose Android Keyboard and off you go.

Does that mean that if i want to use the keyboard, I have to keep doing 'Go to email, select menu > compose and hold your finger down on the text input area. This will give you an option to select 'input method'. Choose Android Keyboard and off you go.' ?

Nup - do it once and it becomes the default.
You can always change it back to the HTC keyboard using the same method (tap and hold) if you want.

Hi there, I downloaded the apk that you have posted but can't install it. I think the apk that you have sent is faulty.

Yup, I could not install the apk that you have posted.

[HOW TO] Get SWYPE beta working when it fails to enable and select

Ok I installed CM7 WhiteRabbit (the 2.3.6 version) and think its great but I missed SWYPE!!
I got the beta version (used it in CM9 ICS no problems) but on this one when installing and went to enable it kept disabling it straight away. I done a reboot and it said it was enabled then but when I went to select swype it would go back to the install page and say select. When selecting it in the SMS part or in the settings part it would not select ether.
Now I got this from a site for the KINDLE but it works if your having the same trouble.
1) Download the installer from your beta email or transfer it from one of your other devices (If you get an error saying "Sorry! This is not an Android Phone..." make sure your browser is set to mobile view and not desktop.)
2) Log in
3) Select your Beta version
4) Install the Swype keyboard
5) Use Root Explorer and navigate to /data/apps and find the Swype apk
6) Move the Swype apk (not the installer) to /system/apps
7) Make sure permissions are rw- r-- r--
8) Reboot your device
9) Long press on a text field, select input method, then Swype
10)When you use Swype it will constantly Force Close
11)Go back into system/app and press install on the swype apk file that you placed there
12)Then delete the same apk from system/app and reboot.
Worked perfect for me I rebooted and into SMS enable SWYPE and all the how to use and settings pages show up and now its going great guns. Cheers to the author of the kindle thread. Sorry to take your lime light but its great to know it works for Defy +

[Q] A zip that deletes the manual and quick start from NST?

Hello there,
I have a simple question, I'm sure most of you developers know how to help us all.
I have a NST not rooted (I don't really need for mods and stuff) but I would like to get rid of the manual and the quick start guide that really annoys me.
Is it possibile to create a zip (maybe an img would be even better) that starts ClockworkmodRecovery and then that includes a flashable zip that deletes the 2 epubs?
So that everyone can delete them once and for all. :laugh:
Let me know if I can help you.

Perhaps it would be better to download and install a root explorer (such as ES File Explorer) and use it to browse and delete these epub files.

well, that includes rooting, installing a launcher, installing a program...
i thought that a zip that does it without rooting and without anything permanent on the device would be better.

I make what you asked for, find it enclosed. It is a zip update for CWM. I guess you know how to proceed but I've left instructions below for those who face this issue for first time:
1. Make a backup of your NST with noogie following this instructions.
2. Download the file enclosed within this post.
3. Burn 2gb_clockwork-rc2.img file to be written on a SD-Card using Win32DiskImager or dd on linux.
4. Open the SD-Card (where you burn 2gb_clockwork-rc2.img) and copy the DeletingEpubGuides.zip on the SD-Card.
5. Power down and insert the SD-Card on the NST.
6. Press the power button for 3 seconds, so that the device boots (you don't have to hold the power button after the 3 seconds)
7. As soon as the display changes to the "CWM logo" screen, push and hold the lower left and the lower right button until the screen changes again. Wait until you see the recovery. Hence, you'll be already booted into Clockworkmod recovery (Button layout: Both Buttons on the left: BACK / Upper button on the right: UP / Lower button on the right: DOWN / n button: SELECT / Power button: TOGGLE DISPLAY).
8. Install through CWM recovery the DeletingEpubGuides.zip update placed on the SD-Card. When you'll read "Done" press power button during 10 second and eject the SD-card.
9. Press power button to turn on the nook to let the devices open commonly.
I've just tested it over my NST v1.1.2 and works without problem.
Best.

I'm running 1.2.1, and I found them at /system/assets/userguides/standard/ . (There's also a /glowlight/ folder in the /userguides/ directory, FWIW.)
EDIT: However, deleting them there doesn't seem to remove them from the library. And I can't find the /system/media/books folder. Hmmm...
EDIT AGAIN: Also found them in /data/cloud_assets/books/userguides . Deleting, rebooting, and will report back here if that did it.
LAST EDIT I SWEAR: SUCCESS! Deleting them from all the locations listed above made them vanish from the library.

4. Tap your device menu
5. Tap Tools
6. Tap root explorer.
7. The root explorer menu will pop up and you'll tap Mount R/W
8. Fill in all the bubbles for RW and tap OK
9. Navigate to the root of your device (At the Top you'll see the root directory is listed as "Device" or "/")
10. Tap the File named "etc"
11. Tap the File named "security"
12. Long press on the otacerts.zip until the check box appears and put a check in it.
13. Tap more
14. Tap properties
15. Place check marks in the read and write boxes and Tap ok
16. Tap rename (on the bottom action bar)
17. Rename the otacerts.zip file to otacerts.bak and tap ok
18. Tap refresh (bottom action bar)
19. Pull down the notification curtain and accept the update. *Some devices reboot here. (if the notice isn't in your notification bar just go on to the next step)
20. On your homescreen open your device menu and Tap system settings.
21. Scroll to and select System update.
22. Tap Update firmware.
Your device will say it is up to date and you won't get the notification anymore. If you do then reboot and start over because you skipped something.
If this helped you feel free to click the "thanks" button.

About that... I do appreciate your comment but I wanted to make a guide (and video) to help the most people. I felt like giving a free option here would be the best way to go.
I know there are apps that can freeze the updater but I didn't want to get into a comparison of the apps that may do it or provide instruction for every single one of them. Also there have been reports that freezing the updater didn't work or caused other issues. The solution I provided will work on the Sprint SGN2 (and other Samsung devices) and only requires ES File Explorer which I feel very comfortable recommending and is free.
I would like to consider all the options, though. So, going forward if we're going to recommend alternative solutions I think it would be best if a guide (or a link to a guide or video) would also be posted with it...or at least some detailed instructions. This way the most people will get the most out of it.

First backup, in some roms it disabled by default and i'm not sure but it should be some like system updater or updater some like that

This is an excellent guide and a sure and EASY way to get rid of those pesky updates.

The update notice you're seeing now is minor. It contains a security enhancement and nothing else worth mentioning. You needn't worry about it.
On a side note if you want 4.3 and don't want to wait for the OTA update you can get it here

17. Rename the otacerts.zip file to otacerts.bak and tap ok
18. Tap refresh (bottom action bar)
19. Pull down the notification curtain and accept the update (if this isn't in your notification bar just go on to the next step)
20. On your homescreen open your device menu and Tap system settings.
21. Scroll to and select System update.
22. Tap Update firmware.
Your device will say it is up to date and you won't get the notification anymore. If you do then reboot and start over because you skipped something.

I don't want to seem contentious but you must have missed something in the process. This process is tried and true and has worked for tens of thousands of people so you most likely missed some minor thing. At any rate, when done exactly right it works.
I would suggest that you first make sure you're rooted and if so make sure that you've granted root to ES File explorer. Next make sure the otacerts.zip file has retained the name change to otacerts.bak and if it didn't then you've got permissions problems. Next in ES make sure root explorer has RW selected on each item. Make sure the icon for the otacerts file looks like a question mark (if it looks like a zip start over).
The best thing to do is just repeat the process. Take it slow and don't get frustrated. If you'd like to make a video of you going through the process I can look at it and tell you what you're missing.

All of the things you mentioned I did. I am running a stock rom and am rooted. That being said, I may have posted too quickly before. After performing the tasks that you outlined very clearly, the notification returned upon reboot. I slid it away and it has not returned. So, I humbly withdraw my previous post.

If you wanna test to see if it comes back you could reboot again. If it doesn't come back after a reboot then you're all set. Let us know how it goes.
best regards

I would suggest going through the process again. It's very easy to miss some small step in the process. Be sure you're rooted, make sure you've granted root to ES File explorer, make sure you have Root Explorer turned ON, make sure you have rw selected for all four selections under the Mount R/W menu, and make sure your name change of the otacerts.zip file sticks, make sure that the otacerts.bak file looks like a question mark and not a zip, and remember to refresh. Those are the most common things people overlook when running through this process.
Watch the video and follow precisely. Take it slow and don't let the video get ahead of you. I go really fast through it in the video so the pause button will be your friend. You'll get it don't worry.
