Hi all,
I have a HTC Desire Z running Audacity Beta 4 (+++)
As far as I can tell, there's no way of configuring a volume toggle in the lockscreen unlike previous ROMs which had this by default. I've seen posts in the Audacity development thread (pages 409-) describing how to add the camera to the lockscreen, however I want to reverse this and re-enable a mute/sound toggle on the lockscreen. I've been into the system->settings->lockscreen but that offers no volume toggle options under apps or activities.
I'm currently working around this by using "Mute" but this seems to be an ugly fix to what seems to be a missing system option.
Does anyone have any better solution or ideas?
Thanks in advance

Well, since you can't disable access to the notification bar, you can use the toggle there.
I just looked into this myself and you're right. I did find a workaround though. If you have Tasker you can make a task that switches toggle states and then bind that task to a lockscreen slot with Task Cut (selectable on the first page).
Granted that won't update your icon, but it's something.
As mentioned above though, you can also toggle it from the power widget in the notification drawer.

Thanks for the responses. As Tasker isn't free I'll stick with the "Mute" app and add that to the lockscreen for now.
The whole point of this was so that I don't have to unlock on the way in/out of appointments etc... I can just wake the screen and swipe left to mute/unmute the phone. Granted it's not a huge amount of effort to unlock and use the power widget in the notifications screen, but it is an extra step and we're all about efficiency (or idleness!)
It just seems odd to me that this should be something that's inbuilt on the lockscreen, but I guess the developers take a different view nowadays. (It would be nice to have options for both camera and mute in the lockscreen options)
I'd like to have a go at creating an app to do this for myself.
Can anyone recommend any threads on how to start development - I'm reasonably ok with programming though I'll freely admit that java's object orientation will be a bit of a learning curve. I'm hoping that this will be a relatively simple task - All I want to do is to mute/unmute from the lockscreen without changing anything else...
I've found these bits of code to play with:
http://stackoverflow.com/a/7318028
http://stackoverflow.com/a/10921268
but where do I start in trying to create an app around this and packaging it? adb? Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm looking for an "android how to write apps" or something like that...
Thanks in advance
[edit] - found the android developers pages now and am starting "my first app" - If anyone has any hints and tips though, they'd still be appreciated. Thanks
So i am making my first widget and i am trying to get a progress bar on both side and i did't find a flip module in the settings so i was wondering if there is a way to make the progress bar go in "reverse" if you will. I have looked for how to do this both on google and here and nothing. Hoping someone here can help me or i might have to submit a feature request (filp module) if nothing is currently available to do it.
Never mind if i would of taken an extra second i would of got it....MODS you can delete this so it doesn't waste anyones time...sorry guys...
Hello guys!
New to (posting in) the forum so unfortunately I cant post this in the developers topic
But I'm hoping someone could help answer a few questions for me
I finally got around to rooting/unlocking/rom-ing my Koodo T989D
Decided to give Hellkat a try as my first custom rom, and so far it is a huge improvement over JB
So many little annoyances now solved
However with that there are a few things that have cropped up that I'd like to change if possible
First is probably the most important thing,
having used stock Samsung android for the last few years, I grew very accustomed to being able to swipe left and right over contacts in order to text/call them, probably my favourite feature really
I understand that samsungs dialer/contact app are very intergrated into touchwiz but thought I'd ask if anyone knew a dialer that works well and has this feature that I could try out?
Second is the camera, I know recently that stock google camera apps have gone to a very 'clean' interface
however when I am trying to take a picture randomly, I find it far easier to change useful settings if they are shown constantly overlayed over the image (as opposed to pop-ups)
one thing I was impressed with by samsung was their camera apps customizable settings buttons (allowing choice in where and what to display)
Can someone recommend a camera app that has settings overlays or better yet that allow customizable settings buttons?
Third is more specific to the HellKat rom I think..
I've noticed when texting that if I go back to change a word (spelling check) it comes up with a pop-up with a few suggestions and also the option to add to dictionary
However suggestions also pop up in the suggestion bar above the keyboard
I would prefer to only have the suggestion bar, and to not have the pop-up at all
I have tried turning off the 'Spell checker' option in input settings but then neither show up
Is there a way to turn off the pop-up? or will installing google keyboard get rid of it?
Fourth is that I found when typing a recipient number into a new text, in 'Hellkat dark theme' the font is black on black so that you are unable to see the numbers you are typing
not a huge issue but maybe someone can let the developer know
Fifth is just that I am wondering if there is a 'lockscreen widget' (like the one for the camera) that is a dialer screen to place a call from the lockscreen
Thanks to whoever responds and I understand if you are not able to answer some of these, any help is graciously accepted
Will try to provide any additional info needed
Thanks!

P.S. pic is the spell check pop-up i'd like to remove!

I am running the newest hellkat and do not have that problem with the keyboard popping up suggestilons like in your screenshot . So it must be a setting. By the way have you got the usb storaage working using a otg cable.?

did you update it thru the rom today? it popped up saying there was an update but not sure if i should mess with it since it took alot to get this thing running smooth haha
if you mean connecting to the external and internal sd cards with USB thru the computer then yes thats working fine (just checked)
for now i have just disabled "spell check"
i still get suggestions above keyboard but no longer the pop-up when you select the word
unfortunately you also lose the underlining of misspelled words
added this as a lockscreen widget and it seems to work very well so far
Simple Dialer Widget

No that works fine. But I am talking about using an Otg Adapter to plug a mouse or keyboard or flash drive into the phone . This works on certain custom romss on this phone but wasn't sure if it is an option in hellkat
Hey everyone, I was wondering if it's possible to get the AOSP lockscreen on the LG roms. Most of my problems with it stem from the way notifications and the lockscreen works, all of my notification issues are solved with xposed but the lockscreen is something I just can't get past. The layout and design is just bad and it doesn't even show next alarm time.
I found some threads on the G2 forum about changing things in build.prop, but none of that applies now, at least none I can find that look remotely like anything. I'm willing to put some time and effort into learning and trying things to get this working, I just need to know where to start.
Hi everyone!
I can't seem to find any reference here how to activate the Softkey/Navbar of this phone? If you happen to know how, please do let me know.
thanks.
So you want to waste screen for something we already have as hw feature!?
you seem to imply that your definition of "waste" is somehow objective.
IMO, your reply above is a "waste". Why? because it has no value.
Please be respectful on your comments
Taking it the wrong way... And it is a waste... Why do you think people are trying to get rid of it and you are the only one who wants it...
Good luck with that...
Sigh... another wasteful reply from you. NOT all people are trying to get rid of it. Do some research first.
I think you can do this, but need to root your phone.
check http://en.miui.com/thread-27328-1-1.html
Tried it. Unfortunately it didn't work. Thanks though.
navbar or softkey,, that's subjective!!
everyone is different
I prefer navbar..
that is costumizable
not like that softkey,, the looks isn't costumizable.. that glowing softkey is ugly af
IMO
you can argue
but that will not solve our friends above's problem
here you are:
as im using MIUI and some other ROM,, i never be able to activate softkey
with all method all over internet
then i try custom rom,, RR
that is had option to enable navbar
the only thing bother me alot is
1. you can't completely disable softkey,, but xposed addition do,, if you want
2. when you succes disable it,, you can use some app to disable the led of sotkey
3. but you can't disable haptic feedback in softkey,, the only thing i tried is xposed vibration tuner,, to disable ALL vibration on phone..
so you can't completely use vibration
i've never find another solution
that best i can do to DISABLE that softkey
please share here to EVERYONE WANTED and SUCCESS do this
that will be appreciated
BY THE ONE WANTED TO
and please,, everyone that just want to argue or insult,, about the things that not relevant to the QA,, kindly dont post here
Regards
someone fond of NAVBAR
Thanks qzxi. I'm using RR now. I have yet to check the xposed addition, maybe later.
Btw, do you have a non xposed solution to making the navbar transparent? I'm using flat style color bars now for that.
I'm using gravity box to turn the led off for the capacitive buttons as well for the vibrate.
Hello, I ordered a Xiaomi Mi Max, great phone, I`m waiting impatiently. To activate soft keys in the nav bar you can edit the line in /system/build prop, must be rooted, there`s a line that says;
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 (if 0 put 1, if 1 put 0).
replace that file and give permissions 644 with Rootexplorer.apk for example. With roms cyanogenmod based it works. To deactivate the HW keys you must edit certain files in /system/usr/keylayout but really I don`t know exactly
Hello @SubwayChamp, unfortunately that didn't work for me when i was still using MIUI 8. thanks though
You can try Simple Control.apk from Play Store, in mine works.
Simple control is not really what i am looking for.
It's not an alternative a replacement to NAVBAR. it might be an alternative but not a replacement.
btw, there is a builtin function in MIUI that functions the same as simple control, if i recalled correctly it's Quickball.
In MIUI 8.
Flash TWRP
Flash supersu.
Flash Xposed.
Install Xmiui module.
Switch on Nav Bar.
In my opinion it looks ugly. (button on buttons)
but u can get it if u want it.
Finally, I think that this tuto is perfect, it has the option to enable soft keys and disabled HW keys:

I'll try this as soon as i have time to revert to MIUI. thanks for this.
"Finally, I think that this tuto is perfect, it has the option to enable soft keys and disabled HW keys:

That didn't work as well SubwayChamp.
I never try system changing beside Xposed,, unless there is no modules that i expect..
I remember there are some transparent related xposed modules out there..
But it makes the ui looks bad,, imo
Transparent is fancy in launcher,, but when you in app,, that looks ugly,, cos the transparent through the homescreen
But i think i know what you looking for
Transparent,, in all apps,, but not through to the homescreen
That's what i looking for too
Afaik,, fscb is the closest to my need
At least that give the decor as the entire screen app
The bad are: tinted the button to b/w,, and not transparent
-----------------
And thanks for the info bout the gravitybox
Try it
