I've kinda stumbled across a way of making the notification LED dimmer, as I feel sometimes its a bit too bright, eg night time driving.
Here's how...
You need root and an app that can run scripts, I use rom toolbox pro, theres probably many others...
I created a script with the lines:
echo 100 > /sys/class/leds/red/max_current
echo 100 > /sys/class/leds/green/max_current
echo 100 > /sys/class/leds/blue/max_current
Set it to run at boot and hey presto, dimmer notifications!
The default value is 2000 so you can use any value to set the brightness to your liking, you can also go higher, but i don't know if this will have a detrimental effect on the LEDs. Do so at your own risk!
I don't know how to make CWM zips, so please don't ask me to! If you do, feel free to do so!
I accept no responsibility if this turns your phone into a velociraptor and eats your children.
You didn't actually stumble upon them.

Well, kind of, I found the info in the ion thread for making it brighter, but it seemed a bit complicated to me, so adapted it for my own needs.
I'm not trying to imply that I discovered it, just that I found, what to me, is an easy way.

I didn't really understand what was being done in the ion way, my programming knowledge is basic, literally BASIC (think BBC micro / zx spectrum language) this way works for me, so I'm happy with it, if anyone knows a simpler way, feel free to do so.

I found a few apps that tracks your phone down or even takes pictures of the person trying to unlock it, but like the title says, is there any app that blocks hard reset? It's kind of pointless if your phone gets stolen if they can just shut the phone off and do a hard reset to it and sign in with there email,
Thanks :-D

I guess in theory you could place an app like Seekdroid in the system folder and then do a hard reset. Usually a hard reset won't affect system apps.

you can't really avoid physical maneuvers. and anything baked into the phone's startup has to be a modification to the actual ROM. so no.

This is how I got around the GPS toggle not working:
Since AndroidLost.com allows you to send texts, I have setup a tasker profile which waits for a text that says "androidlost" and if it receives it, it enables GPS.

Hey, I have a Glide running INC3PETION v1 and using the latest ardatdat kernel, and I was wondering if there is any way for me to change the overclock in said kernel. It is currently set to 1.2ghz but I want to bump it up a tiny bit to maybe 1.3ghz or (if it's safe) 1.4ghz. This is so I can watch some video files (mkv) without having the bad audio lag issues. I would not be having it overclocked at that speed all the time, only for short periods. The only thing preventing me from just keeping a copy of cranium (I think it's cranium) on my sd is portability. The only kernel I know of that is OC'd higher than ardatdat hasn't fixed the data counter issue. And it needs Odin. I would like to be able to just go into CWM and flash my extra OC'd kernel when I need it. As a last thought, I think ardatdat has stopped (or paused) development so if this is at all possible, help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Make your own thread for your own question... I'm looking for an answer to my problem and I don't need constant notifications about yours. Thanks.
And just to clarify, I have an overclocking app already. What I'm looking for is how to change the max clock speed that is set in the kernel. Or just a kernel that has it already raised above 1.2. I need the data counter fixed though, no matter what.

Its only happening in mx when I play mkv. Its a known speed issue with the player. Also, I really don't like the theme on v2
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using xda app-developers app
If it's a known speed issue with the app, why would changing the oc on the kernel affect it? Think about, the general audience for the app don't have OC kernels. It is supposed to work without OC. I think just an update to the app will fix it.
I'll see if I can unpack boot.img for the kernel, anyway
Well you see it's an issue with older phones. And mine has had a bit of an issue with speed simply because of some of the apps I have running. That's why I wanted to do this. Its hardware limitations. I just worded it wrong.

Except that the running apps are ones that I cannot kill? My Data monitor, antivirus, facebook (which I would like to kill but cannot) as well as a few others are what slow it down. Besides, I just would like to see how well the videos run at a higher clock. Simple curiosity is probably the best way to explain it.

sorry same here I don't know how to help you. I was just trying to help you out and close different applications that are open in the backround. What I usually do is log off certain applications like facebook and other ones I actually turned around and uninstall anything that stays resident and in memory this way I know that my phone is not running any non essential application in the background.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using xda app-developers app
I expect you'd need to modify the source of the kernel to support a higher max OC, and then you'd need to build the kernel from source. I didn't spot the source for any of the kernels on our phone at a glance, but I didn't look too hard, if you track one down it should be fairly straightforward.
Ah ok. And getting the tools to do so is a piece of cake, so I suppose that's what I'll have to do. Thanks for your help!

Hello guys, so I have a question. So you know right, in Gingerbread, there was this function where when I plug in my earphones, the media volume will change to the volume which I used last time when I was when i used my earphones. I think it is a samsung thing.
But since I changed to ics, i have lost this function, so now I have to change the media volume myself when i plug in my earphone, which is a hassle, at least for me.
Therefore, I am looking for an app which has this function. Please do post something which helps and not something like 'Go google for it or search it on xda'. I would honestly appreciate if you link me to the app instead, thank you very much
