[Q] How can I make the Bluetooth discoverable all the time?

Hi,
Yeah I'm aware its "danageraus" to put the BT discoverable and on all the time, but still,
Is there a way to make it on discoverable with no time limit (120 seconds)?
Thank you.
Yarden.

MMM you tried with bluetooth on/off widget by Curve Fish?

also the HTC stock bluetooth widget does it,,,

What do you mean by HTC stock bluetooth widget?
Can you explain that please? I don't understand where you see it.
BTW, the curve fish doesn't have that option.
Only, on and off, nothing about the "Discoverable" marking.

yes
the htc stock widget its in the widgets section in(long press on desktop..etc..)
and then browse the settings widgets and select the bluetooth widget...
u seen it now?
if u enables this widget your device is visible all the time,,

Thank you for helping but unfortunately you are wrong.
I'm not visible to any one, I must go to settings to enable this 120 seconds Discoverable option.
Maybe you tested it with Known-Partner and he already got you on list, but with new people it can't be visible, I just tested trice.

So annoying

I have the solution, if you are still interested.
It's in main.conf file.
If you want to know more, just tell me.

Oh yes please!
Hah I recently came across this BT thing and remembered I've asked for it once..
Funny world
I'd love to hear the solution, I don't care messing with some system dangerous files..

On ICS and JB ROMs it's possible in bluetooth settings.

Bluetooth discoverability setting No limit GB 2.3.4 and other lower android versions
Content has been removed.

this method didn't work.
The time do get changed from 120 to 0 and successfully store but the permission after reboot return to read and write

If permissions won't stay, use root explorer and on properties press "sticky", and they stay there.
However, I'd simply go for JB or ICS, who have the visibility option in settings...
rather than giving the "sticky" to anything, since it's a special permission, for which, I admit, I don't know the full impact on system.

I have transferred the file to another device and changed everything with root explorer. This time all sticked well but these changes does not produce any effect in the stock Rom.
Regarding ICS and JB roms I haven't found one for this device yet. The ones that claim to be are just roms dressed with apps and mods to look like one. Not real ports.

What so special in S-pen, AFAIK it is just an ordinary Stylus? Isn't it? That shouldn't be a problem.

Galaxy Note uses wacom digitizer to register the input which can read pressure level for the magnetic S-pen.
Now back to the topic, smemo without spen pressure level reading would be no different from skitch+evernote combination with capacitive stylus.
I've got to mention that smemo can be used with fingers however it's not really accurate and you lose benefits that spen provides.

I think you have to get the lib files from Note and put it in correct directory might work.As said in post #6

If the libs are designed in such a way that they only detect the spen's touch then someone gotta modify the libs to work with human fingers.

Can someone post the names of the required lib files??

I don't have a note so I don't know which libs they are, gift me a note and I'll tell u the name.

Aside from finding the correct libraries, we have to change the resolution of the application. Our Galaxy S have 240dpi and S-Memo have 320dpi. Here you can download the smemo240. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361462

Cyanogenmod 7.2 and GPS

I have just rooted my "new" wildfire s with cm-7-20120717-UNOFFICIAL-marvel.zip, everything works fine except gps with tracking apps (I use Sport Traker). When Gps and Sport Tracker works together the phone reboot (I have no idea when and why). I have already searched on internet and in this forum but the only track about this problem is that one:
LapakCZ said:
Hello, I use this ROM for some time as daily use. I found little problem, but I'm not sure, if it's rom-related, so I don't want to post it as bug yet. Reason why I write is maybe to find someone with same problem, so we can maybe compare apps we use etc. and find where to look now. Also any other ideas are apreciated of course.
So the thing is, that aprox. once in two or three days, phone just restart itself when I'm carying it in my pocket and don't actively use it. It happens especialy when I have app sports-tracker running (app which records GPS track etc.), but not everytime (I guess something like 1 of 4 times). It happens when phone is in my pocket, so I can't tell exactly whats happening in there, I just find phone restarted and questioning for pin (with all previously running apps closed, so I'm pretty sure, that it really restart itself).
But few times, it also happens without any background app usage. With running sports-tracker it's just more often, but it's not a rule.
It's quite hard to lagcat it or anything, because I can't find a way, how to call this error on purpose. Also, only pattern I see there is, that it's more likely to happen with sports-tracker running, but as I said, It's just more likely, definitely not a rule.
I would apriciate any ideas, at least where to look next, or what to try, to find out more, about this...
----------
You need to me send /proc/last_kmsg after a reboot. See the Bug section in the first post and the FAQ in the 3rd.

To change the gps.conf
1. first u need a rooted phone
2. a root explorer
3. open root explorer , etc > gps.conf
4. edit the NTP_SEVER
5. for example if your country was in asia , edit it to NTP_SEVER=asia.pool.ntp.org
6. find your pool here .pool.ntp.org/en add www infront of the link , i'm less than 10 post so cant post link

[MOD]webcam as fully functional rear cam!

EDIT: sorry for the jittery video new one on its way! and added another link just to amuse you
hey guys!
today i was really curious as to how i could get a webcam to fully function, and to maybe permanently use one as a web cam. after hours of surfing, i found that their is a way to preview, but not to actually use one. so i wanted to fix this problem!
after hours of research, and a bit of testing, and have finally reached some success!
found a thread in the viewsonic g tablet section, that managed to do about the the same. since they were both tegra based, with similar enough soc's , i decided to experiment. with stock kernel and firmwares, the nexus 7 has drivers for plug and play webcams. what this mod does is gives permissions and makes the webcam show up as a rear camera feed. WITH THIS MOD ACTIVE YOU CANNOT USE YOUR FRONT CAM.
it was made for the g tab. if modifications are made, we may be able to bring it back.
WARNING: as usual, i am not responsible for any mishaps that may happen by you doing this mod, including nuclear monkeys taking over the world.
i am coating the writer at the g tab thread for the credits on who originaly made the base for this mod for the gtab : "Credit BELONGS to Borkata at "another site""
so first, u will need:
1. a UVC webcam. or simply, a plug and play camera. anything that didnt need anything extra to work, other than you plugging it in. some only need the extra cd to use its full potential, but may work without one. check here: http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/#devices
95% of webcams should work.
2. the attached file. (camera.tegra3.so)
3. nexus 7
4.OTG CABLE!
5.a camera app other than stock. (lgcamera or similar)
STEPS!
EXTRACT and COPY the camera.tegra3.so FILE INTO your tablet's /SYSTEM/LIB/HW folder, and reboot. BACK UP THE ORIGINAL camera.tegra3.so if u want to revert later.
plug in your camera.
open up terminal emulator. run this:
su
chown system.camera /dev/video0
chmod 660 /dev/video0
now go to your camera app and check it out!
taking pics works fine. video has bad fps though. response is a bit slow too. but i think these are software issues.
you will need to put those lines in the terminal everytime you plug in the camera. (or make some kind of a script, or ask someone to)
i am not improving this mod simply because i dont have the experience to. but i did want to share this with you.
here is a little demo i uploaded of it so u guys can get an idea of it-

Hi there,
there is any chance to exclude the input script every time connected the camera?
Is possible to make any permanent script so when camera connected, starts working on the go?
Regards.

yes, but i honestly dont know how. it shouldnt be that hard. i am sure some other dev can help out here. definitly possible, but i just suck at making scripts.

At the beginning it takes some time, but after successful work, it has recognized my Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 and works fine with it.
Thanks again

Could mean a few things. Either USB otg not working, or the tablet doesn't recognize the web cam as a webcam because it doesn't support plug and play, or incompatible ROM or kernel. Most probably the webcam's fault.

All of them was recognized by usb host controller... tried 4

try a different rom+kernel maybe? when you plug in the webcam, a folder should be created here: /dev/video0 .
did you put in su before the commands?

Battlefield 4 Commander App broken?

I can't get it to load into any servers on my new 8.4. The app will load and I can select a server but then it just hangs at a black screen forever. I've tried letting it pick servers and I've selected a server through Battlelog and get the same result either way. I've tried on different wifi networks too so it isn't a network issue. Anyone else run into this or am I the only loser wasting time playing Commander at work lol

It doesn't work for me either, it's a tablet specific issue for us, as it works just fine on my Nexus 5.
I sit at the black screen too, I think it may be a resolution issue but I'm not 100%, the thread with the apk on here explains a bit more on how to fix the black screen issue but it's for phones running, but I assume it would work for our tablet as well but I'm not running a rom so no Xposed framework to edit the obb.
