[Q] power control widget - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For some reason my power control widget is not working. I can place it on my screen but there are no buttons in it for me to select. What is the stock apk? Looking to find a stock one that would work with EL30.

What rom are you running? I've had this problem before, but it's been a while. I use cleanGB mtd right now.

I'm currently on cleanGB and minimalistic black theme. But I also ran advance data restore when I jumped over to EL30. I'm not sure what the apk is for the power control. I need the name so I can pull it from a rom or theme and push it through and see if it will fix it.

This is a common bug. Do this....
Place the widget on your desired screen and restart your phone, it will appear, give it time. I have experienced this bug on 75% of the ROMS i've tried.
Also try fixing permissions if that does not correct the problem.

that worked. thanks!

Another simpler solution that I always use is just place the widget anywhere then turn on wifi from ur status bar and it'll bring up all the buttons

any luck restarting the phone with advance killer turn off? u might have changed the setting to automatically kill the sense widget. also try removing the clock widget off and putting it back on. if u go to advanced task killer and press menu>setting uncheck autostart. then restart the phone and lets see what happens
i've done all that actually got rid off everything i had set up in advanced task killer, have tried getting rid of the widget and putting it back on a million times and it just deosn't want to work. i've tried everything and i have no idea why it isn't working, but it looked so nice when it did.
the widget you want is under 'clock'. so, on the home page you want to put it, hit menu, add to home, widget, clock (not analog clock) then hit the little arrow button at the bottom until you get to the flip clock with weather on it. select it. presto. you're done.

yeah k, i know that look at my screen shot.
anyone else wanna try this is so annoying.
BUMP for a problem that will probably affect someone other than myself.
hey mods can you guys move this to general or android development, maybe someone who can help me will see it there, and i would rather not make a new topic in a different thread. it's just really infuriating i have literally tried everything it hasn't been working right since saturday so i figured i would ask on here after a few days. this has to have happened to somebody at somepoint, it must be something simple i'm missing.
this used to happen on my G1 ..all u have to do is delete the widget from the home screen / restart phone / add widget again
Thank you will try.

Didn't work. Anyone else? Really like the widget I just wish it would work...

Reflash whatever ROM you are running over the top of your current ROM in recovery. You shouldn't have to wipe to do this and it should restore your clock.
If it still persists, then wipe and then flash your ROM in recovery.
under the setting part of the widget, try and set it to a specific location, not 'my location'. it may be that it can't find you. especially if you're on a wifi network
i'm not running a rom, haven't flashed anything. all i did was do unrevoked to get root for a couple of things, and i have it set to miami. with gps on and everything. though i am on 3g now and no difference.
all the widget has is the time, no date or anything and it says miami, no clouds no sun nothing.
Try downloading a rom..take the weather widget out place it on ur sd card install via astro ..
Verify your auto syncing it turned on.

[Q] How do I disable/remove the toggle widgets in the 3.5 SkyRaider rom?

I installed SkyRaider 3.5, everything is great. But I'd like to not have the toggle widgets on the notification pull-down.
Is there an easy way to do this? I tried making /system/skyraider/widget.user/custom.txt blank, but that didn't work.
It is in the SERVICES JAR. PM the developer. He can point you in the right direction.

Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764787&highlight=Sexy+Rosie
Then go down to where it says "Power Widget Toggles *NEW*"
It tells you there.
That doesn't tell us how to remove it altogether.
nevermind when I rebooted they came back weird
Just removing the text will not remove the notification widgets. The text file allows you to modify what is in the power bar. Learning it blank gives you a default.

Yea, i noticed this. Hopefully ihtfp69 will chime in here.
The answer will be found in the service.jar file. You may be able to remove the file that represents the Power Bar. I am not sure if you need to remove all the files or if you could just remove the one representing the power bar. The other option would be to pull the services.jar out of the prior version of SR and swap them out...
Have you PM'd ihtfp69 to see if he can produce a NO POWER MOD zip? The other person that may be able to help out is Bezerker.

I have, got repsonse today. He says it will be in 4.0.
He suggests putting a single | character in the custom.txt file, it might disable it.

Help with CM7 please.

1) I cant get the GPS working. I tried the fix mentioned in the CM7 thread here twice, nothing.
2) I cant install the sprint voicemail I backed up from titanium. It has a cross through it and only gives me the option to uninstall
3) Can someone recommend me some good SBC kernels for this? I was using 4.3.4-cfs-havs-less-sbc on Mikfroyo and I liked it
4) Can I set up ADW to have the scrollable dock like in Launcherpro?
Thanks in advance
1. Reflash the rom, or try opening maps first, then use your gps
2. Reflash to a backup, make sure its working, back it up, then flash back, and restore with data-or use google voice.
3. Savaged zen or Tiamat kernel
4. May have to buy the ex version
1) the gps icon isnt even appearing in the notifications bar at the top. I've reflashed twice already.
2) Turns out it only backed up the data, not the app. Where can I get the apk for it?
3) will do, thanks
4) fair 'nuff
If the voicemail app is a system app, you can only restore the data, not the app. You need to grab the apk & install it, then restore data.
ADW doesn't have a scrollable main dock like LP. It does have a scrollable hidden dock. Swipe up on the center icon & there it is. You can put an unlimited number of shortcuts/folders there - just drag and drop. You can do this in the free version as well, but Ex allows for the changing of each dock's individual background.
I'm not on my computer so I can't upload the apk, but I uploaded it to my Dropbox...

thanks much! I guess the last hurdle in the GPS then...

Did you enable it from the power widget bar?
i think I know what's up. I didnt have the GPS enabled while I was doing the fix. lemme try again.
yup that did it. sigh.
With your LauncherPro/ADW issue, this isn't really a fix but you can still install LauncherPro and use it like before. Install it, hit home, check always use this, and tap LauncherPro.

[Q] Shortcut to running apps?

Had a quick question, Im running icslitebeta and was wondering if i could somehow make a on screen shortcut to running apps? Like when you hold down the home button for a few seconds? I looked on google and the closest thing i found about it was to download an app that goes to a recent app selection. Only problem with that app is its there screen. I like the way the running apps or recent apps list look on ics beta. what im wanting to do is put it in the dockbar, So im using honeycomb three icon buttons and put the last one with a custom shortcut and change the icon to match,Any ideas?
Am still needing help with it.

I know if your running stock gingerbread all you have to do is hold the home button but you aren't. I'm not sure if there is any way that I know of. I'll do some googling for you and let you know.

How do you get rid of this widget?!

Hi all.
I am at a loss. Running AOKP (4.0.4) with Nova Launcher. Out of nowhere yesterday, this Power control widget decided to add itself to the notification area. I dont even know how it got there and sure as hell dont know how to get it off of there. I know you can add it to one of the screens but did not know it can be added in that area. Does anyone have any idea where this setting is if it exists? I would like to know how to get rid of it before reflashing the ROM.
I know there is another set of toggles you can add which I had but then I was stuck with 2 power control widgets in the notification area. Thanks.
Try touching the settings button in your notification area
I did but then it adds or deleted another set of toggles on top of that one lol

In your app drawer find "Power Controls" and Uncheck the checkmark in the Notifications widget box, and press the pin button to turn it off in the accessibility menu.
Or
Uninstall the entire app

Thanks, man. That did it. I realized that I hid the app. Once I unhid it and unchecked that checkmark, it went away.
