[Q] Advanced power menu, alt usb popup, rosie remap? - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

Hello,
I am coming from an original DINC and I like the stock ROM for the DINC2 so far but I wanted to do some tweaks. I got circle battery and overscroll glow from the kitchen but there are a few other things I would like to know hoe to get. (I am not really hot to load a whole new ROM, I want to play with stock for now.
1) Advanced Power Menu (with hot restart etc)
2) USB Connection type screen that includes an "wired tether" option.
3) Remappable Rosie (or just a remap to internet.)

I checked it out, interesting. Why "recent apps removed from status bar"? This is nice feature, does it cause issues? Can I put it back in?

OK, You talked me into it.
Do you mind telling how re-enable the recent menu? (No full instructions needed, just what to modify. I am very comfortable in root explorer and modifying xml, files, setting permissions, etc.)

[MOD][ROOT] Change default homescreen - TouchWiz 4.0

Hello,
There's a simple way for those who want to change default homescreen.
You have to be rooted.
So, you first have to download a file explorer that supports root, for example Root Explorer(paid, I use this one).
Then, go to /system and open default.prop with text editor.
Now, add this line:
Code:
ro.csc.homescreen.defaultscreen=3
Where 3 is the number of the default screen you want - 1. So default screen 4 => 3.
Now, just reboot and it should work. If you have any problem/question, feel free to ask.
At first: Sounds great! Thanks!
But:
Afaik (only from some (elder?) videos) it's possible to add and delete home screens. Could you tell me or try what happens if you set this var to e.g. 5 (=> default home screen is 4) but you only have 3 home screens at all? The same has to be considered if you accidentally delete the last home screen and this one is/has been set to default.
Worked perfectly! Thanks for the tweak was missing this feature from my past android phones.

Could it be made into a simple apk file?
Even easier - no root required
Sorry to steal your thunder -
Pinch zoom (helicopter mode) longpress & drag will do it.

Ian, the point of this mod is so that when you hit your home button, while in your homescreens, it will revert to the 4th screen. Normally when you are in your homescreens and then hit the home button again, it'll revert you to the first screen as default. This is the case even if you change the order of your homescreens using pinch to zoom.
Cool I hoped this was coming. Cant stand being on 1 as the home screen.
Thanks EleCtrOx666!
Works great.
If it is this easy to make the change I don't understand why Samsung didn't include it as an option in one of the configuration menus.

I'll see what I can do.
It worked great with root explorer, but not so much with ES File Explorer -- it does have a "root" mode, but it asks you whether you are using the CyanogenMod or the HiAPK rom.
For n00bs, like myself, it's also worth pointing out that you won't be able to edit the build.prop unless you click on the "mount rw" (read/write) button up at the top first. Afterwards, you'll probably want to click the "mount ro" (read only) at the top again.
Thanks a lot.

This works beautifully and something I've been pining for after moving from sense. Thanks a lot
I'm not an active Android dev. But isn't there a var you can call and just divide by 2?
Like:
ro.csc.homescreen.defaultscreen = ro.csc.homescreen.screencount/2;
Something like that? Excuse me if this obviously doesn't work, it was just a thought, as it would make it easier and won't require users to change that value whenever they change the amount of homescreens.
How did you find this setting? I'm interested if there are more useful settings like that.

i'm a beginner in this so pls have a little patience with me.
I got a SGS2 and i'm interested to know if there's anyway to root the phone without flashing a custom kernel taking in account that u have this "nice" counter on the phone.
Very nice explained how to modif home-screen number.
is it here any way to get temp root?
hi sorry to be a pain, but i would love to be change my default home screen button, I followed the guide, and rooted my phone successfully (i think) and once superuser was installed I went and found the defualtprop file and edited it as guided by adding that line, i clicked save & exit (at which point it tells me it made a backup of the original file) then after I restart the phone it just goes back to normal, like I never touched the file...
anyone know where i'm going wrong?
Thanks, reminds me of my HTC Desire now with homescreen centred

This Guide explains how to do it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056334
This doesn't work for me. I can't add that line. I've tried two different text editors and two root explorers (one with an editor built in) and they both say the file can't be saved. No other programs open. I restarted the phone and tried again.
Anybody else have this problem?
Thanks for the help via PM.
In case anyone else had my problem, it was solved by using Root Explorer. Click "Mount R/W", do the edit, save, reboot.
Works perfectly.

ICS Issues....

Well since I don't have enough posts it won't let me post in the Dev section...ugh....anyway, I just wiped and flashed MazWoz-EVO ICS ROM BETA 4 and had to do it a few times because it kept screwing up after I would restore my apps and data via Titanium. I figured since this was ICS and my previous was Gingerbread there were some issues so I didn't restore data this last time and thought all was well.
I can't seem to get the browser to work and I tried Chrome Beta but I already read on the forum that is not working right with this ROM so I'll try something different. But I heard the ICS Browser is really good so I want to try it! Someone else posted the same issue but no response yet:
slikgman: My browser stopped working and i don't know when and why. I keep getting the message "unfortunately, browser stopped working" i am now using Dolphin HD browser. I've tried using the reboot and ROM manager permission fix to correct the problem.

Then I just went to unlock the phone a minute ago and my background showed up but no icons and none of the home buttons did anything. I could scroll between all the home screens but they were all blank except for my background! Hmmm...maybe I tried ICS too soon...though people on the Dev forum seem to be having a lot of luck with this ROM
Can't really help, but sounds like a bad install. I've been running this ROM for 2 weeks with no issues other than what is stated in OP.

Can I just re-flash the zip or will it force me to wipe again? I just got some of my main apps up and going so I hate to wipe for the third time in the last 12 hours...lol
Also, do you know how to change the lock screen options? I use Handcent for messaging and want to swap out the standard "slide up" to go to Handcent instead of Messaging. I can't figure out how to edit this for the life of me!
Until you've gotten a good install I would always wipe a couple times per the instructions in the OP.
Also, when changing the lock screen icons there is a trick to it. It's discussed many times over in the OP.
Basically (going from memory since I am not running the rom at the moment) you go to the lockscreen changer, if you want to add weather only you use the rosie utility. Otherwise you have to use the other utility option that is there. You can add/change whatever icons you want by tapping the icon and selecting the replacement. The icons on this screen may not update. Once you close the utility the icons and shortcuts should be as you desire. If you go back in it will reset and you will have to do the process over again.

Oops, i just realized my response was for "The Express..." rom shortcuts. Sorry about that!
So to change lockscreen shortcuts go to Apps -> Evervolv toolbox -> Lockscreen -> Lockscreen style -> Custom Mapping -> App shortcut -> Applications....and so on.

I was gonna say! Thanks that's exactly what I needed!
Oh FYI...I sort of figured out the browser issue. All I had to do was go into my Manage Apps, go to Browser and did a Force Stop, Clear Data, and Clear Cache and then went to try it again and it has worked fine since! Weird....
Also, does anyone know where the Car Dock settings are for ICS? I'd like to change the setting to not go into Car Dock mode when docked, since it leaves the phone lit up the whole time. Some ROMs have that option and some don't, but I'd like to know if ICS has that built in and how I get to it.
Another weird thing about this ROM....
If I long press on the home screen to add an app icon, I get the usual list (Apps, Shortcuts, Widgets and Wallpapers) plus choice for Nova Actions. I can add shortcuts and widgets just fine but when I click Apps, it will show me my list of apps but when I select an app it just opens the app! It doesn't add the icon to my home screen! Annoying even though I can still add it there by long pressing the app itself.

[MOD/APP][AOKP] COPY/PASTE buttons in NAVIGATION BAR!!! NOW MORE BUTTONS!!!

Hello, I created this 2 apps to add copy and paste buttons to the nabvar...
What this app does is to simulate a keypress from a service when button is pressed....
Concretely sends KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN for CTRL_LEFT(holds that key pressed), then injects C or V KeyCode event and finally it sends KeyEvent.ACTION_UP for CTRL key(releases that key).
However, not all apps are compatible with CTRL key, so this wont work properly with these apps
This app has been tried on Xylon ROM but also it SHOULD work on AOKP and derivates.
**THIS APP DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT**
Install like a normal APK
COPY: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kinq13mljdzl9ho/NavbarCopy_signed.apk
PASTE: https://www.dropbox.com/s/clxj83sqg76lkof/NavbarPaste_signed.apk
-----------------------------------------------------------
MORE FUNCTIONS ADDED!!!
To use this app you must sign with system signature, which can be find in its repositories
http://db.tt/KD07RwYy
Here is the source code!
http://db.tt/d10qEVO9
so will it work on non root stock rom?
Re: [MOD/APP][AOKP] COPY/PASTE buttons in NAVIGATION BAR!!! (Root & NON Root)
No, it doesn't work for non rooted. It installs and goes to widgets and put it on the screen and it says not installed when clicked. Plus, non rooted wouldn't be able to add those to the launcher. MAYBE 3rd party but I don't wanna do all that..

Hi.
Can you make similar buttons but with different functions?
I would like to hide navbar and use aokp pie instead but I need few buttons.
Menu
Back
Home
Recent apps
And if this is possible - forward buttons (for Internet browser)

This is looking really cool. I love aokp nav bar mods and this seems quite similar.
Is there a function in there for "last app"? That's probably my favorite thing to have on the nav bar.

For example, for xylon rom you have to use these platform.pk8 and platform.x509.pk8... You get them here

To sign you can use a program called "apk signer" (i think)

[Q] Xposed Quick Settings with Clear Button

Okay so using Xperia Flip Settings and GravityBox (Enable FS and Enable Statusbar tweaks > QS management > Quick Pulldown, right or left in GravityBox) for the Xposed Framework I can get the quicksettings panel on my XMS (LB, Single, Rooted, Odexed, 4.3) and it's great! Well... Mostly...
I'm wondering if anyone knows how to either fully remove the stock toggles after enabling FS as these seem to cover up the AOSP clear and settings buttons OR allow the default Clear button to remain on my XM even after FS is enabled. This way I can use quick settings and still have my clear button...
Thanks for any help everyone!
I would like to know this too.
Is this also the reason clock and date are not visible anymore? Because that it what stops me from using flip setting though I would really like to have them.

I think so, after playing around a bit I found that Xperia S tweaks for Jellybean (on the Xposed repo) will remove the toggles and show the clock and clear settings although it causes the UI to randomly crash so it's not the best solution.
I have the same problem....
Okay so the best I'm getting is when I enable Flip Settings first, this will shift your Clear button and the clock underneath the current settings icons. After this I enable Xperia S tweaks for Jellybean, this does successfully remove the current settings icons and leave you with just the clear button and the time although when you first boot your phone it may cause a temporary UI crash, this should only happen once and then you'll be fine. Lastly in GravityBox choose your quick settings toggles and set quick settings to show when you scroll from the left or right of the status bar plus change whatever other settings you want to in there.
This does get you quick settings although in my opinion the notification shade becomes kind of ugly (If you could retheme the clear button and add a settings button to make it more like the AOSP shade it would be fine) and the UI crash can be slightly irritating but until someone finds a better solution this will give you QS!
1 - Xperia Flip Settings
2 - Xperia S Tweaks for JellyBean 4.1.2
3 - GravityBox [JB]
I tried this on 4.3 (15.4.A.1.9) I'm not sure how other versions of android will go but it's worth a shot?

So I just started playing with the toggles, theres a few bugs... From what I can see anything that affects the system UI will cause a crash (Auto-rotate is a prime example) it still works after the UI resets though. other toggles that we don't have by default such as NFC, GPS etc. all work fine though. it's just not quite what I want.
Damn QuickSettings on XperiaM
Not having Mobile Data and Gps in quick settings it drives me crazy. Stock quick settings dont have Gps and using Xposed Flip dont have Mobile data. But we know that xperia flip is not covering the stock, which makes no clear button, another annoying thing. I did try to play with toggles with Sqllite but no luck so far. The only fix that I found about this is flashing this: "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723852" and it works perfect you can make custom quick settings but there is a problem when changing volumes in sound. You can change only one volume than press ok, if you try to change 2 volumes ex. Alarm and Ringtone, SystemUI crashes :S and dont know what to do and what to choose. I guess I'll stay with stock quick settings and toggle Gps from Location :S. If you guys have anything better please share.

Maybe, this thread was for xperia m though so I'm not really sure. Personally I ended up getting a Galaxy s5 pretty recently so I'd almost forgotten about this.

Second Screen Shortcuts add up to 6 [UPDATED 12-15-15]

Add up to 6 shortcuts to second screen. This means one more. I tried to do 7, but I simply don't have enough screen space with proper padding to squeeze in 7.
I can only confirm this working on the pure stock rom. Try on others, but do a backup first.
Another finding is you have to use the stock launcher to add it. The reason this is, is because you have to drag and drop it into second screen from the homescreen or app drawer. Once you have it set you can go back to using your launcher of preference.
Installation:
Flash attached zip through recovery or unzip it and move to system\priv-app\ConeShortcut and set perms rw-r-r. I am also including the original app in .bak format in case some forget to backup their original.
Again as of now I can only confirm working on the stock rom and using the stock launcher to set. Second screen is tied into so many aspects of the system so it is a very tricky thing to work on.
As you can see from the screenshots if you try to add it from the settings menu you will only have 5 options. If you look at the preview screen you can see my 6 apps and that I'm able to shuffle them around.
Thanks, I applied this mod to the rom I'm using the No-NaMe ROM!! And it's working flawlessly. Keep them coming.
Just wondering if you can get this mod to work on the other second screens such as recent or contacts.
Works great. Hope this is a gateway to other mods for the second screen.

Everything.. App shortcuts, signature, second screen apk, build prop, system ui, framework res, and the stock launcher. It's pretty much incorporated into every major aspect of the system somewhere.
I was thinking that too becauae after I updated to xposed 79 I started having some issues too..

I wonder if the settings menu can be modified to fit the extra shortcut as well. Also I wonder what other things could be done with the second screen. Seems to me like the default features are somewhat limited. What I would like to see is functioning widgets on the second screen.
Using apex launcher, if you tap and hold the background, you get a menu that pops up to add things to the home screen , if you select "shortcut" and then "activities" you get a list of all sorts of menus, many of the menu items aren't functional, seems there are a lot of settings and features that are included in the base Android version being used, and the features were removed, however the hidden menus for these features still exist through these "activities" shortcuts, many developer options can be accessed. For example there's a hidden menu to change notification LED settings, to change LED color etc, even though the v10 has no notification LED. There's a whole drop-down section for second screen, including a "background chooser". The background chooser opens up and lets you crop an image to the exact dimensions of the second screen, however when you apply the settings, nothing happens. It seems LG was in the process of developing further features but stopped... Maybe we can take the next step

Most likely some things will be implemented on the next v series phone. The code has been written just not intiated..
Why should we wait and hope it gets done on the next phone, and then spend all our money on it... Why not just initiate the code ourselves? If I had more coding knowledge, and a more structured chain of thought... Lol I have the processing power to figure this stuff out, just not enough ram..
Does anyone have the orig. apk or zip file. The Fav. App Tab disappeard and i need the original file t fix the issue.
