if anyone can help me with this:
1. how to change default browser from IE to opera? need to change registery?
2. how to make IE font more larger? already set as "the largest", but it's still too small.
thanks!
+1 i would like to know how to set opera as default! thanks
I haven't changed anything and Opera is the default, so something you have installed has changed it, probably that would tell you how to change it back.
I used Advance T3FD configuration tool ( here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749) did the trick for me to change opera and use IE
Start Opera > Type opera:config in address bar > Go to Install > Mark checkbox before Browser First Time Launch > Press save in the same box > Soft Reset device
tataa...
This didn't work for me. I'm trying to open links from mail account using Winmo 6.5, and it keeps opening IE, I've tried the registry changes too, no joy.
Anyone got any advice please? I HATE PIE!
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\: DEFBROWSER
"0"=Opera Browser
"1"="\Windows\OperaL.exe\"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\: DEFBROWSER
"0"=Opera Browser
"1"="\Windows\OperaL.exe\"
Works - ie without the last backslash on the "1" line. (did a soft reset, but don't think it was needed)
Thanks Xeon.
Thank you
Thanks guys!
This
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\: DEFBROWSER
"0"=Opera Browser
"1"="\Windows\OperaL.exe"
without the final "\" at key "1" worked for my like a charm - without a soft reset

Does this change the default Browser as linked to from within Touchflo 3D - ie the main HTC "go directly to the internet" link??
tested - no it doesn't.
Anyone know how to alter the manilla/Touchflo 3D setting so that it kicks off an alternative browser??
(on standard Orange ROM here)

kwbr - have done that - didn't work! Hence my post.
Try this
Open up Opera -> Settings -> Advanced
And check the box that reads "Set Opera as default browser."

[MOD][23MAR10][v1.0][SENSE2.5TAB] Basic Facebook Tab
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651007
Thread Quicklinks:
2.5.192x issue and ROMs with older facebook engine...
v1.5 Released, v2.0 Development starts here [Post#361+]
v1.5 Beta Testing details start here [Post#133+]
Information for v1.5 language files & beta drafts [Post#109+]
I'll fill in more detail here when we start doing development work.
I've placed an OLD release into the groups 4shared directory, in the projects folder.
http://manila.4shared.com
Also my tutorial (which is more a notepad at the moment) is here:
TUT Manila Tutorial 4 - Placeholder/Facebook Tab
Setup Instructions
Setup Instructions (roughly):
1. Use the Command Line Kitchen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=528548).
2. Recommend 1st copying ALL xxxxxxxx_manila files from your windows dir (keep a copy as backup too), and decompile them all using the kitchen.
3. Rename the Workspace to something else (i.e. Workspace_complete), you can use this now as reference!
4. Start again with the manila files you want to work on, you now have your "working" folder of lauc files etc.
5. Make use of the manilaHASH to convert between filenames and internal path/file references (recommend you keep a list of ones you find, you'll be surprised how useful it can be).
For editing, Programmer's Notepad is excellent, you can save your workspace, highlight the files for lauc and xml and also use the "find in files" search to find stuff in your "Workspace_complete" folder.

Temp Location for the stuff moved off the main thread (this post can them be referred to if the info is important):
MAIN THREAD POST #1:
-----
The stuff below will get replaced when the next version is released...
-----
This is my facebook tab, the project is a learning project, it will also have a supporting tutorial with full details of how it is built.
By it's nature the intention is it is freely available and totally open.
Before people ask, no I can't do comments, pokes, likes, notifications etc etc, I am cheating here and borrowing HTC function/pages and only changing what I have to, to obtain the function needed.
I shall attempt to add some more function soon, will be linking in with a exe which will hopefully talk to the facebook api. At the moment I am unsure how successful this will be, also what to do about facebook requiring an account to be linked with the app and how to keep multi-language support. This will become clearer as I work on it.
Also, as I start to adjust things to suit my changes, I expect to break a few things too, this will be because I don't always see the full range of HTC functionality as I test (i.e. Events etc).
Hopefully it does enough to keep everyone happy. I shall try to document the creation of the tab, but at the moment development work is 1st.
HTC has put in as much more functionality than I thought (I keep seeing new parts to it), but they also did a good job of hiding it!
Personally I think there are some excellent features and credit goes to the poor soul who got told it couldn't be a tab (this is for you and your hard work!).
Please understand, currently ALL the facebook function is by HTC, all the integration is by HTC. The MOD moves the tab and formats it to look nice and also adds some small features which I wanted (I wanted to do more but everyone was keen to have it too!). Formatting and the extras is what takes the time. If you see the 192X basic "basic tab" a simple move of the tab is a 5 min job!
I'm planning to do at least one update to this to add the bits I couldn't get going in time, plus to make it easier to configure via the settings instead of the registry. After that, I'll release a dev pack and facebok api could be added etc on top (but again must be a matter of time before we get an official one).

Details for v1.01 (to be removed later)
-----------------------------------------
Settings are all via the registry (for now). The "Download Data Automatically" etc in the settings subpage runs independently of the Automatic Update Period.
Registry Settings
Change these registry keys to change how it works.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Facebook.LaunchAppSel"=dword:1
Number added to Facebook.LaunchApp to determine which app is launched (entry must exist)
"Facebook.LaunchAppName0"="MS Facebook App"
"Facebook.LaunchApp0"="\\Windows\\Facebook.exe"
Path and filename of app, note \\ should be used in *.reg file to put \. Within the registry this will read as "\Windows\Facebook.exe"
"Facebook.LaunchAppArgs0"=""
Added to the end of the application call if required
"Facebook.LaunchAppName1"="Facebook IM App"
"Facebook.LaunchApp1"="\\Storage Card\\Program Files\\fim\\fim.exe"
"Facebook.LaunchAppArgs1"=""
2nd optional application. You can add any number of others at the moment.
"Facebook.LaunchWebSel"=dword:0
Same as "Facebook.LaunchAppSel" but for the web launch
"Facebook.LaunchWebName0"="Mobile Facebook"
"Facebook.LaunchWeb0"="m.facebook.com/"
"Facebook.LaunchWebArgs0"=""
"Facebook.LaunchWebName1"="iPhone Facebook"
"Facebook.LaunchWeb1"="touch.facebook.com/"
"Facebook.LaunchWebArgs1"=""
"Facebook.LaunchWebName2"="Desktop Facebook"
"Facebook.LaunchWeb2"="www.facebook.com/"
"Facebook.LaunchWebArgs2"=""
Same as "Facebook.LaunchApp#" but for the web launch
"Facebook.LastUpdateTime"=""
"Facebook.LastUpdateDate"=""
Stores the last update time/date used in the display, set by the program.
"Facebook.MyStatus"=""
Copy of your status text, set by the program, if its working ok
"Facebook.MyStatusExe"="\\Windows\\FacebookStatusUpdate.exe"
"Facebook.MyStatusScript"=""
Used to copy registry entry of My Status into the above key. Note: If you set Facebook.MyStatusExe blank, it won't try to update.
"Facebook.AutoUpdateInterval"=dword:0
Time in minutes between automatic updates. I think only runs when within the tab, set to 0 will disable automatic update (although independent of the 2 hour update on the settings page).
FAQ
Launch App/Web does not work (i.e. I get a Certificate error)
Chances are, you need to adjust the registry setting to point the selected application to the location where it is installed (or ensure you have the app installed).
Please see Agent Zach's guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6247589&postcount=470
Why do we need FacebookStatusUpdate.exe (or originally mortscript) and what does it do?
It's a limitation of what is in manila, you can only read from "HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila", unless you are only after a int value.
All the script does (or exe), is the following:
Code:
RegReadString("HKLM", "Software\HTC\FacebookSDK","Status",myStoredStatus)
RegWriteString("HKCU","Software\HTC\Manila","Facebook.MyStatus",myStoredStatus)
There may be a work around, but it would take a lot of time to test for something so simple.

All-In-One Cab Install Instructions
Warnings etc
Modifying manila means various levels of messing around with the files on the device so, as with most of the mods on here, back-up often and be prepared to screw it up and hard-reset your device. All the changes explained here may or may-not work on your particular device/version of manila or perhaps it's just not going to happen today.
Instructions:
1) Ensure you have moved your tabs around at least once, via Settings Tab, this ensures the correct registry keys are present used by the cab install.
2) Run the cab and Install to Device (attached to first post).
3) Copy any language files which are missing if you need them into the windows directory (some are included).
4) If this does not work, then don't un-install, but follow the manual install instructions (ensure you copy all the files from the zip as instructed).
You don't even have to disable Sense first or anything. It'll do that, and re-start Sense for you. It's recommended to install it after a fresh hard reset for best results, but it may still work without doing so.
Thanks to Captain_Throwback for creating the cab and johncmolyneux for creating the executable that adds the correct info to the tab control file automatically so that the install is fully automated.
Please report any issues you have with the install here, so that we can try to fix them.
All-In-One Cab Uninstall Instructions
Will update soon, with precise details:
1. Replace the 26948339_manila file in your windows directory with the backup version made by the cab also in windows.
2. Then perform 5. Reset Manila as described in the manual install steps.
Note: Until this is updated, and you are not confident, you can simply disable the tab via Settings, Home Screen Tabs!

Manila Sense Fix - Sense is not starting after install/uninstall
If you run into problems with Sense not starting then there are two things you can do.
1. Run moonnah's B_L_Group_FixStartManila_2.5.cab from the following thread (this should fix any problems with your tab control file):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670116
2. Post your tab control file (26948339_manila) on the thread and we shall correct any problems and repost it.
The next release of All-In-One cab will hopefully run the FixStartManila for you so this issue will hopefully be fixed.
[USE ALL-IN-ONE CAB INSTEAD] Captain_Throwback's OLD Cab Install Instructions
I've just kept this section for now, until we are happy the all-in-one cab does what it needs to do. Let me know if you still have to use this method.
Note: 1084 views on this cab now - will monitor for use. OK removed the attached cab to avoid confusion.

Captain_Throwback Post here
NOTE: This cab does NOT include the tab control file (26948339_manila). Because everyone's set of tabs is different, each will need to be edited individually, per the instructions HERE. The edited file should be copied AFTER the CAB is installed. The install will make a backup of your original file called "26948339_manila_orig", if you have issues with the edited file.
Instructions:
1) Install CAB (attached to this post)
2) Verify that Sense is disabled in Today items once install is complete.
3) Copy edited tab control file (26948339_manila) to \Windows folder on device. Confirm overwrite of existing file.
Either get your tab control file (26948339_manila) from \Windows folder and edit it yourself or use a pre-written one which matches all the tabs orginally listed in your Settings Tab (where you re-order the tabs).
Edit your 26948339_manila file from your \windows\ directory (you can use the example in the zip file \tabcontrol\ as a guide, use a UTF-16 Compatible Editor such as Notepad2 or Programmers Notepad.
a) Insert the following text, between the other "pages" defined, replacing the X with suitable number (re-numbering the others as required to avoid duplicated numbers):
Code:
<Page Order="X" Name="facebook.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="[[Facebook]]">
<ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\People\facebook.mode9" Component="SummaryAllPage" SmartComponent="true"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_Off"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_On"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_Preview"/>
</Page>
b) Copy back completed file to your device \windows\ directory
4) Re-enable Sense in Today items.
Manual Install Instructions (for use with the zip files)
Scott8813 has kindly provided a detailed tutorial on how to add the tab, so if you need more detail then please refer to this.

All the changes explained here may or may-not work on your particular device/version of manila or perhaps it's just not going to happen today.
The files may be hidden system files (may need to enable viewing of system hidden files to find them)
Keep an original copy of your 26948339_manila file, particularly if you use a cab to install
If the tab doesn't work you can use it to restore things back (just do step 5)
1. Copy 26948339_manila from your \windows\ directory to your PC.
2. Copy all the files in the zip file \windows\ directory to your devices \windows\ directory.
3. Import the registry items from the "appFacebook.reg" file into your devices registry.
This will add new entries "Facebook.XXX" to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila"
4. Create your Tab Control File:
Edit your 26948339_manila file from your \windows\ directory (you can use the example in the zip file \tabcontrol\ as a guide, use a UTF-16 Compatible Editor such as Notepad2 or Programmers Notepad.
a) Insert the following text, between the other "pages" defined, replacing the X with suitable number (re-numbering the others as required to avoid duplicated numbers):

<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_On"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_Preview"/>
</Page>
b) Copy back completed file to your device \windows\ directory
5. Reset Manila:
a) Delete "\\windows\manilaFull.xml" on your device (don't worry this is regenerated when manila restarts).
b) Delete the configuration reg-key HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration (this resets the tab list and allows the new tab to be included in the tab re-ordering page of the settings tab - the keys only re-generate when you go back to that tab re-ordering page)
Alternative exe instead of mortscript (old zip version v1.0 23Mar10 ReleaseB):
Use the exe from FacebookStatusUpdate.zip and place in your windows folder (doesn't matter where, as long as you link correctly).
Change reg file to:
"Facebook.MyStatusExe"="\\Windows\\FacebookStatusUpdate.exe"
"Facebook.MyStatusScript"=""
Or directly in reg:
Facebook.MyStatusExe = "\Windows\FacebookStatusUpdate.exe"
Facebook.MyStatusScript =""

No problem.
Gives me somewhere to write what I am up to without spamming my own thread too.
1. Currently I'm working on different views of the main page.
It's hard to see how events will be displayed since no-one I know uses them (how do they appear normally? Are they part of the individual status items?) Also, unable to change "Has Multiple Updates" to display the status and updated album message when there is more space, not a major issue. I'll post some screens at some-point.
2. Will then start to work on tying things into an exe which I can then experiment with the facebook api without having to wrestle with manila, plus for now I will put the tab specific settings page in it too (makes little difference visually to a manila sub-page, except I'm not sure how to pull in the translations for multi-lang).
3. Also starting to look at .\Scripts\People\peopleUpdateViewPage.luac 285D32BC_manila which is the more detailed tab when you select someone, but it's not fully decompiled so I've not tried changing it yet. Ideally I can put more info/options within this page when the fb api is functional.
4. Need to finish off the update timer, should be able to look at the time of the last update and update immediately even if you've just entered the tab. Currently it just waits for the update period, which only happens if the tab is open.
5. Need to put another text object on the main page for each fb item, hopefully for use with the fb api.
damn,i can't open that m9editor. if i'll not find other possibilities i'll have to run an xp-mode VM. i only managed to convert the 59B632C0_manila file to xml with mode9converter but it gives me an error when i try to convert back to mode9.
meltwater, please just edit it this way from "icon_off" to "icon_on" and attach me the edited manila file,i'll try to do the rest. thanks!

Looks like the right change, although will see what it does on my phone...ok doesn't break it which is good.
Now just need to get my hands on a full version of visual studio...
IT WORKS!
great we found the right reference,which results in:
1F04C842_manila \windows\htc\Assets\Images\Manila\icon_on\Facebook_tray.qtc
--
do you think the 357374E7_manila file is needed? it does not show anywhere..
--
i attached the right 1F04C842_manila file. now you can use it with your corrected 59B632C0_manila to have separated split icon on/icon off.
the "icon on" should be hi-res 16bpp and "icon off" 8bpp but cfc_gui did'em both at 8bpp not a big deal tho,and easily correctable.
i'm happy for my little contribution,now i have to research that last missing "rearrange tab" icon

Ok, will try it out on my phone too. Donno about the 8bpp and cfc'ing can't remember what my originals were like.
Good luck with the "rearrange tab" I think the key is to find what the reference path/name is, either from the filenames or from the mode9 file whichever that one is.
Oddly, I've found it hard to find the colour settings for the title when in landscape mode, all the colours are in the mode9 file (but not that one it seems - changed all from R0G0B0 but it is still black...):
51B6F88A_manila \windows\htc\people\facebook.mode9
It might be using the theme colours instead (remember it was a sub-page so black is default), only found them yesterday so will chase that route 1st.
Been thinking about how to do the first page interface (depending on the fb api success of course). I think, ideally we want to drop the link to the People Tab sub-page and drive everything within the main tab page (ideally storing it's state if you leave the tab). It should then allow you to select someone, and the item expand, again you view comments etc, select them again and you get options to comment/like etc. Easy to suggest, but not anywhere near being able to do that within the manila yet, a nice aim though.
One issue I do see ahead is updating the information/storing it all, do we pick up live data when we open views (unlikely to be smooth) or attempt to download everything we need in one burst and store it away (I guess you could then open wifi, download and close wifi again...in theroy). Ideally we could use the same storage as the fbmgr uses, but I doubt that is accessible so may need duplicated info.

Ok, will try it out on my phone too. Donno about the 8bpp and cfc'ing can't remember what my originals were like.
Good luck with the "rearrange tab" I think the key is to find what the reference path/name is, either from the filenames or from the mode9 file whichever that one is.

there are no direct references,or at least i did not find'em yet. unfortunately the other tabs' manila icon files don't have a group,they're "unknown" on cfc_gui. it was easier with slider and tab icons as they were in manila names.txt list. i found some interesting file this nite but it was late so i left some work for this evening

Oddly, I've found it hard to find the colour settings for the title when in landscape mode, all the colours are in the mode9 file (but not that one it seems - changed all from R0G0B0 but it is still black...):
51B6F88A_manila \windows\htc\people\facebook.mode9
It might be using the theme colours instead, only found them yesterday so will chase that route 1st.

on my phone, in landscape mode, i don't have the facebook tab title at all not even the black one you talk about..

that becomes a tad difficult to understand to me,sorry hope some skilled user will help you more with that. very curious to see what's possible to achieve with the facebook api tho.

Ah, my background is black so I assumed it was just black too. Ok, will rethink that then. Maybe just a case of setting it visible...at the right point..at the right time. No logical reason why it's on the people tab but not this one, same code. Not too bothered about it yet.

I've found the editing of the gui the hardest so far, mainly because you can't see until you try but also if it doesn't like it, it gives up and moves on (so you can't even see where it was wrong). Still what started out as a little experiment on my part has already opened up a lot of what can be done. The Custom Manila Interface Tab is still a long term goal.
MS don't make it very easy to develop on windows mobile, they still don't have support for it in Visual Studio 2010 Express. I think I'll go for a trail version to get me started and then switch to non-MS solution once I'm happier. It's all new to me but keen to pick this up too.
Hi meltwater and etoy,
it is a help when i testing something too, because i was working also for that issue and i have found the same thing as you two. Strange, three people with the same thoughts. Not easy to find....
Ask me and will help. BTW, this is the dutch language file. I working on it, but a lot of translation:
6CD727C8_manila \windows\htc\people\locales\nl-nl\facebook.nl-nl.xml

You can get most of it from:

35DC316_manila
Probably a little late to point that out...
All help is welcome. There should be a lot more as I implement more, but fixing the little bugs is very helpful.
It will get difficult to manage changes as we all get deeper into it, but at least the more we change the more files and area's of functionality there is to work on, so hopefully it will be possible.

20 the source "is" the manila files (although I've started putting comments in my latest files - so will have source versions for later builds), you need to install the command line kitchen and decompile it (see the rough tips on this threads post #2).
30 go for it - ask away
40 Compile, reset manila. Bang head on table. Goto 10
At the moment, I've started working on the supporting exe which will handle the facebook api and settings etc, but I'm a beginner with windows mobile development so it'll take some time before I am up to speed with that and have something worth sharing (oh plus day job...).

Thank you for your great mod. I finally investigate the name of file "icon in rearrange tab". The name must be 6BEE887F_manila. Hope it helps you.

OK, looks like we have another fix!
Ok, so I tried this . . .
I used my CFC graphics files, and replaced them in the All-in-One CAB. I replaced the updated file from the first page that had the updated mode9(?) code, and I copied the manila file and pasted it as "6BEE887F_manila" (I retained the original file some said 'wasn't needed' anyway). I now have the icon in the Customize tabs screen, but I'm missing the icon when the tab is selected. Is it because I didn't delete the "357374E7_manila" file? Is it just me that has this issue? The icon is there when the tab is not selected, and the large version is fine. That's the only one that's missing now (and previously, it was fine ).

Don't delete 357374E7_manila, it's slider icon. Just create 6BEE887F_manila from scratch or using existing files from rearrange tab.

So I can't copy "357374E7_manila" and paste as "6BEE887F_manila" (that's what I did - I didn't delete any files)? That doesn't explain why my slider icon is missing when the tab is selected ?
This method will allow you to lock your phone as soon as your connected accessory (smartband, fitness tracker, smartwatch) is away.
So you can now use your phone unlocked and it will automatically protect itself in case of theft -- The same way Xiaomi does with their fitness band.
Root NOT needed.
Description
This method consume no battery since it doesn't track the device itself, but only the notification android makes when the device is connected/disconnected.
It can work with virtually every device, (bluetooth, low energy bluetooth, wifi, usb ...) in the condition there is a notification on the taskbar when connecting / disconnecting
It is build to be secure but I am open to your suggestions or improvements.
It is made for the Sony SmartBand, you can easily adapt it to the notification you have with your connected device.
Apps needed
What you need first :
- Tasker
- Autonotification tasker plugin (you need the full version : 1-2$)
- SecureSettings
Installation :
- Install SecureSettings
Activate "device administrator" in the secure settings parameters
Make sure the right option is checked inside the app :
Options -> Dev Admin Actions -> Lock Device
Options -> Dev Admin Actions -> Password/Pin
- Install Autonotification
- Install the Autonotification unlock key
Open the app and click on "Enable Notification Intercept"
It should now be unlocked, ready to intercept and linked to tasker.
- Install Tasker
Now import the profiles like this:
Download Tasker_profiles_v3.zip, copy/unpack NotifLock.prf.xml and then open it. A popup will appear that the profile is now available in Tasker. Go to Tasker, and then long-press/release on the Profiles-tab for a menu item allowing you to Import appear. (Thanks Xordef)
If you have a Sony SmartBand
- Edit the task of NotifLock (The first profile) to your needs:
You need to change the line 1 and 4:
{
"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"
}
If your phone is in English just change :
Mode jour
Accessoire smartband déconnecté
with :
Day mode
SmartBand disconnected
If you dont have a Sony Smartband :
You first need to explain to autonotification wich app you need to track for :
The easiest way to find back the exact name is to raise a notification from your device connection/disconnection, then :
Edit the state of NotifLock (by clicking just under the title and then on the pen) --> Fill from last --> Notification App
Done.
Now :
- Edit the task of NotifLock by changing the IF lines to the text you want to track :
You need to track the ticker text, the one bellow the title (Mode Jour in the Printscreen)
Versions
19.07 : Initial version
29.07 : V2
The scripts are now simplier yet more efficient and reliable
It now only wake up only when the smartwear connects/disconnects
The scripts now always detect when the phone is near the device again
29.07 : V3
The script is now very simple yet more effective.
It doesn't use anymore the combination tasker keyguard + secure settings pattern lock
It now use the device admin secure setting pin lock, compatible with non root devices and reliable.
Plus when the device is away, the device screen is turned off and locked instantly with se SS lock function
Remarks :
You can change the lock screen code in Tasker --> NotifLock, search for the line " Secure Settings" Configuration Set Pin -> click on the pen
(If you don't, the code is 6824)
Some users reported that changing the password is required for Tasker to work properly the first time.
You can have two configuration depending on what you prefer :
(Device away) Pattern lock < - - - - > Swipe to unlock (Device here)
Or
(Device away) Pattern lock No screen lock at all (Device here)
By simply changing the unlocked lockscreen (Swipe or Nothing) when your device is connected.
Troubleshooting :
If you use the sony smartband and want to try the scripts by turning the smartband off, it will first raise the "Night Mode" script then disconnect, these two closed in time notification can fool the scripts and prevent the phone to lock.
Not a big deal in real life, but I will search a workaround when I will have time.
Please send me your questions or comments or improvment suggestions.
Does not work well for me, not sure if im not getting notification or is it something else. Imported your plugins and changed some texts to English. But the pattern lock stays always off, even when the band is in night mode or when I switch off BT and SmartBand disconnects.

I see three leads here :
- Did you created the variable BandCon maybe ?
- You have to firstly define a pattern lock in your phone for securesettings being able to remove or add it again.
- Try to raise a Tasker alert (popup) when a notification should be catch by autonotification. (Example : popup "connected !" around the line A3 in the first profile)
If it doesn't work, then it can be either a bad transcription of the text or using the free version of autonotification.

I used your provided profiles. Should I change BandCon, isn´t it just a name?

It is a variable name, I am not sure importing the profile will create it.
to manually create it :
settings -> ui -> deselect beginner mode
now you can create a variable nammed "BandCon" in the new var panel
It should be equal 1 when the device is connected, and 0 when it is not.
EDIT : I am thinking about something else : the pattern lock option must be enabled in secure settings:
options -> root actions -> check pattern lock
Thanks, seems to work now, did some restarts and checked pattern lock again. But when switching off bt and band disconnects I get SecureSettings pin lock instead, I have no idea what the pin should be, fortunately restart removed the pin screen. Reconnecting smartband did not help.

- I am glad it worked for you too !
The code is 6824
This step was an enforced security step in order to force the theft to turn off the screen and apply the definitive pattern lock.
You can change this code in Tasker (the lock line in the first module, line A7 in the description)
Another little trick : you can have two configuration depending on what you prefer :
Pattern lock - - - - Swipe to unlock
Or
Pattern lock - - - - Nothing
By simply changing the unlocked lockscreen (Swipe or Nothing) when your device is near.
This is what I found so far, I find this approach very useful for my use. Don't hesitate to report your experience or findings too after a while.

Post updated with a new version of the scripts, and a completely rewritten tutorial to install them.
These new scripts were tested for more than a week now and they never failed for me.
The whole process is much simplier, and should not require root.

It should not need root, as it is a device admin action.
Please try to activate de "device administrator" in the secure settings parameters and report.
I will change the tutorial consequently.

Secure Settings is a device Administrator, so Tasker. I've set a Pattern as Lockscreen. But the same Problem...
Why are there so many Tasks to disable Pattern Lock in the imported Profile? Line 2 till 7 do all the same?

See ? That is why I love XDA
I was searching a solution for non rooted users and found a simpler yet more reliable way to lock the phone.
Now the phone screen will instantly go off and lock with pin lock.
Please :
- Remove the pattern lock
- Try the new V3, there is only one script and if you don't change it, the code is 6824
Locking the phone with pattern lock required root.

Make sure the right option is checked inside the secure settings app :

You can change the pin here :
Tasker, search for the line " Secure Settings" Configuration Set Pin -> click on the pen

Now it works! But just with a password, not with a pin. And if the SmartBand reconnects, i'll have to wipe to unlock 1 time ( i've set no lockscreen). That work for me, very nice! Good work an thanks for help :highfive:

Very glad to hear.
Once you are connected with the device, simply go to the Android lockscreen page and check again "no lockscreen"
This way you shoud not have to swipe at all when you reconnect (I have no lockscreen too)

Thats already set, but it's no problem for me.
Btw the german translation: "Nachtmodus" (night), "Tagmodus" (day), "SmartBand nicht verbunden" (disconnected)
Hi everyone, thanks in advance for your work and help
I found this guide just today and I tried to made for my xperia z1 compact, but I'm still stacked on Tasker, I wrote on Vars section the code (%BandCon) but after that I'm not able to go forward.
Have I to load with the comand import-> your's file ?? (NotifLock.prf). Cause I put this file on the tasker's folder but the app can't see this file...
Bye all, Mattia
Try to simply open it with a file Explorer and it should propose to be opened by Tasker. Then you can import it from the profile tab.
The variable BandCon is no longer needed by the V3 script, I forgot to remove this line from the tutorial.
Hello, nookies!
Welcome to the official development project page for my modded Settings.apk files, or AndroNook Settings.
As we all know, the stock Settings.apk on the Nook Simple Touch is rather primitive, to say the least. With these four unique modded variants, I aim to make the Nook's Settings.apk more Android-like by incorporating more regular Android options (hence, AndroNook). Using these mods, you will have much more convenient full control over your Nook's settings.
All four of these .apks will work on both the Nook Simple Touch and the Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight using B&N's 1.2.1 software. Let's take a look at the changes, shall we?
Changes & Features
andronook-settings-thirteenthirtysevenrom-x.x.zip
This Settings.apk is made to be used alongside @yattaro's and my 1337 ROM.
"Legal" is removed from [Settings > Device Info], because who needs that?
[Settings > Device Info > About Your NOOK®] is renamed to "About Your Nook".
In [Settings > Device Info > About Your Nook], the listings "Owner" = [your name], "Account" = [your email] and "Software version" = [your B&N software version] are replaced with "Android version" = "2.1 Eclair", "ROM name" = "1337 ROM", and "Developed by" = "yattaro & NOOKIE". The extra options which appear if you hold the top right hard button and tap the "About Your Nook" header are also removed.
"Change Lock PIN" is added to [Settings > Screen] for easy lockscreen PIN changing.
"Development" is added to the main Settings screen.
In [Settings > Development], the listings "Android launcher" and "Widget Test" are replaced with "Accounts and sync settings" (which only works if /system/app/DeviceManager.apk is deleted) and "Proxy settings".
[Settings > Development > Manage applications] is moved to the main Settings screen and renamed to "Applications".
"Battery use", a summary of the battery use since last unplugged, is added to the main Settings screen and renamed to "Battery".
andronook-settings-tweakedmoddedrom-x.x.zip
This Settings.apk is made to be used alongside @pinguy1982's Tweaked Modded ROM. All changes are the same as above, except:
In [Settings > Device Info > About Your Nook], "ROM name" = "1337 ROM" and "Developed by" = "yattaro and NOOKIE" are replaced with "ROM name" = "Tweaked Modded ROM" and "Developed by" = "pinguy1982".
andronook-settings-stockromrooted-x.x.zip
This Settings.apk is made to be used when no ROM is installed and you've just rooted your Nook. All changes are the same as nook-settings-thirteenthirtysevenrom-x.x.zip, except:
In [Settings > Device Info > About Your Nook], "ROM name" = "1337 ROM" and "Developed by" = "yattaro and NOOKIE" are replaced with "ROM name" = "B&N OS 1.2.1" and "Developed by" = "Barnes and Noble".
andronook-settings-lockpin-unrooted.zip
This Settings.apk is meant to be used when your device has not been rooted or "illegally" modified in any way. It will simply allow you to use a lockscreen PIN on an unrooted device. Beware, though - you cannot remove the lock unless you are rooted.
"Choose Lock PIN" is added to [Settings > Screen] for easy lockscreen PIN changing.
Installation
If you're rooted
1. On your PC, download the .zip file in the second post which you'd like to use.
2. Install CWM recovery on your Nook by following the instructions at this thread.
3. Copy the Settings .zip you downloaded to the root (main folder) of your SD card.
4. Insert your SD card back into your Nook, and boot into CWM by rebooting and holding the two bottom hard buttons and the "Read Forever" screen.
5. Flash the .zip you put onto the root of the SD card.
6. Click "reboot system now"
If you're not rooted
1. On your PC, download the .zip file in the second post which you'd like to use.
2. Follow the instructions at this thread for booting into CWM from your SD card. However, after you write the .img file to your SD card, copy the Settings .zip file you downloaded onto the root (main folder) of the SD card. Then, continue with the instructions for booting into CWM.
3. Flash the .zip you put onto the root of the SD card.
4. Click "reboot to recovery".

thanks for the efforts to raise the experience of our nooks.
I just saw Yataro has brought out the subsequent version 1.3(with multitouch being the highlight) As posted there, i have multitouch support already, possibly because i had not cleared my data(or bcos i had replaced the kernel from your post before already) before flashing 1337 rom. So i think i'll give this update a miss(unless you recommend i go ahead and update it).
However i came across your AndroSettings effort from the ROM's changelog, and here i am ...
I have downloaded your AndroSettings zip ... to flash ... (my current ROM is being backed up as i write this post).
PS: i am getting a lot of FC's (for almost all the apps i have installed on my device) could it be becos i hadn't cleared my data before flashing the 1337 ROM ? If not your help is most appreciated.

Yes, it is definitely because you didn't wipe before flashing.

If you read carefully through the OP, you'll see the quote:

Great app!
Though I'm surprised I seem to be missing the old "Allow installation of unsigned apps" here.
Is that just not possible on the Nook, or is everybody using another simple option I am missing?
I kinda like not having any app stores
@Igjarjuk, yes, everybody that I know of here on XDA is using NookColor Tools for allowing non-Market app installation.
Thanks for the positive feedback! :good:
I'm getting a reboot when trying to access Development>Accounts and Sync settings.
I did delete DeviceManager.apk before installing.
Stock 1.21 ROM, rooted.

Can you give me a full list of the apps in your /system/app directory? There may be another conflicting app I do not remember.

Have you found solution? I get reboot there too.

No. Removing DeviceManager.apk did not help and it broke B&N functionality. I went back to the stock settings app.
For me the mod was more gee-wiz than actually useful. The USB debugging mode seemed to have no effect and most other stuff I would never look at.
mergen3107 said:
OK, thanks! I still use it since it has functionality of setting proxy and changing pin for device lock.
What do you mean by 'it broke B&N functionality'? Did your shop stop working?

I don't use "Shop" but I do sometimes get "free Friday" books. The B&N home screen which I have on long-press "N" would not update. I just got a continuous spinner.

I have rooted device but I can't find how to remove LockPin. I can change it but I can't remove it.
Hello,
I have quite a serious problem on my LG G3. The headphones icon is always showing, and now if I move the headphone jack slightly, the track either pauses or skips. This happens on all audio players, not just stock Music and Spotify, so it is likely a kernel IRQ doing this.
Brief background: I am familiar with the Linux kernel and I'd like to chase down this 'behaviour' with a few printks and patch the kernel to ignore this. My phone appears to be water damaged (apparently) and the repair co will not touch it.
Where can I find the stock LG kernel sources for G3? I see other kernels like the sharepning one but I would like to take a vanilla tree and work on the kernel myself.
Build process looks like: use a CC (already set up), 'Bump' and then flash it with the LG tool? Correct?

Of course, they uploaded nothing.
And yeah, cross compile it, bump, "flash" the resulting image via dd or create a flashable .zip with it.

Hang on -- are they violating the GPL here by producing binaries but not updating the source..?
re. dd -- that's a nice way to do it, do I plug in a microUSB and set up the G3 to expose itself as a block device so I can do this, or did you mean run dd from the unit itself.

I'm not a lawyer, but it surely seems like it.
dd from the unit itself.
adb push kernel.img /sdcard/kernel.img; adb shell "dd if=/sdcard/kernel.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm.sdcc.1/by_name/system; reboot;"
i may have misspelled path to partition or adb push/shell order of arguments and syntax, but i think that you got the idea

Thanks, this is great
BTW: I prefer to add conv=fdatasync if we need to verify integrity on dd.
