I noticed a toggle in the toggles menu called download booster. It enables both the wifi radio and the LTE radio to work together to gain additional speed when downloading files over 30mb. It's pretty slick.
Check it out if you haven't
Yep, I'm using it from day one and it's pretty slick!

I think you just pull down the notification bar and you'll see in the notification shade the wifi/4G bars signifying the speed its pulling from each source to download the item.

OIC. Thank you.
curious
Does anyone know if there is a torrent client that works with this feature? I've tried searching for one with no luck... maybe there is one that emulates this feature
When it kicks in, there will be a notification on screen that tells you its working.
Then during the transfer there will be a notification in the drop down menu..
It seems like it only works during certain types of transfers.. like web downloads and such. It doesnt kick in during an ookla speed test.

It only works for files over 30 mb. then you'll see a different icon show up in your status bar. Also if you pull down your notifications , you will see the wifi and LTE speeds in a bar graph kinda thing

Was wondering this myself. We would need to know how it's determining the file size. I bet once we get root, that's one of the first things that get changed , always on DL booster lol

I have dropbox sync on and I upload a lot of videos to youtube, for those situations it's great. But ya, torrent would be nice. It's simply a matter of convincing the phone that whatever is being downloaded is larger than 30mb.

You could always use the Android SDK to take screenshots. Go HERE.
I've been using drocap2, it works pretty well. You just click start, navigate to where you want to take a screenshot, then shake the phone. Stores the files in /sdcard/drocap.
I use "ShootMe" works the same as described above. Leave it running in the background, just shake the phone to take the screen shot. Saves it on the SD card.
Not really sure why you don't like shootme? Launch and shake..doesn't get much simpler than that really.

Yeah I also use ShootMe and its perfect.
Haven't tried shootme, but drocap2 works great for me. Always running in the background, customizable activation methods (shake, timer, or notification bar). I use notification bar. Pull the shade down, hit drocap2, wait a few seconds, screen shot taken and saved to its own folder on the sdcard.
Thank You
Shootme works great Thank you for the suggestion!!! Loving it
shootme is great except it makes a camera noise every time you take a screenshot which is annoying and sometimes embarrassing if you're playing with your phone while in a public restroom.

You can turn it off. Click the little speaker icon on the "Accept or Reject" screen.
Anyone else having any problems after the OTA update?
I can no longer use ShootMe or dropcap They were both listed for rooted devices only, but they worked prior to the update. Now, neither works.... Anyone have any suggestions??

That's because the OTA update fixed the giant security hole that allowed some programs that required root (like ShootMe) be fully usable while unrooted.
does anyone know where i can score the apk for this bad boy? i played with it in the new froyo port (very nice job) and i want it now. thanks in advance.
I use a widget called "LED Light" from the markplace, has the same look and feel as the HTC 4G, Wifi, etc widgets.. not sure if that's what you meant or not.
if you downloaded Avas (or Heros i believe) sense 2.2 ROM, you can grab the apk out of the zip.

yeah, i have that one now too but once you try the HTC Flashlight app you will see why i want it so bad.
Thanks for the suggestions, that app works great!
If someone pulls the apk, would they mind linking it here? That would be particularly nice of them .

My favorite is LED Desire Light. It has the brightest setting I've seen so far, and can even transmit messages via the flash light in morse code. In case.. you know... you are trapped somewhere and can't make calls.... and can...
Ahh forget it. Anyways, it comes with a widget. Tap for on, tap for off. I love it.

I am getting an error on my EVO when I try to install the apk that this is not supported.
OK got it. Missed step to use Astro to install it. Great app!
just installed led desire light and the flashlight.apk
definitely cool to have multiple levels of brightness. And of course, you know that morse code ability will come in handy one of these days....
Leds hack (root only) app removed from market recently, anyone have the apk or alternate download link? Been looking on the web unable to find a download link.

Thanks tribbey this work on mines also appreciated a lot.
Does anyone know why this app was removed from the market?
What does it require full internet access for? Paypal donation? I'm a bit chary while installing apps from unknown sources so would appreciate any reassurance
After trying this app I uninstalled it because
1) it keeps requesting su permissions every few seconds and I don't like idea of disabling the notifications in the Superuser app
2) my motivation for turning off buttons back lights was battery saving, but I'm not sure if I will save anything if this app keeps running in the background
^^ MikGinger 3.0 has this function built into the "tweaks", works great.

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.

Wondering if anyone knows how to remove the battery icon? I'd like to just have the percentage show up. Thanks in advance for any advice on this!
Try Good Lock from the Samsung App Store. It includes lots of status bar tweaks.

I have it set to show the percentage but it isn't there. When I toggle the battery icon in Good Lock, they both disappear.
Just use Systemui Tuner.

i just downloaded this app but i don't see the options to do what you guys have done. can you give more explicit instructions? I see a list of apps you can install from the app store (lock star, quick star, multi star, etc...)

Launch Quick-panel star---> visibility of indicator icons--->toggle battery icon. Haha, hopefully you got it.
The app is called Good Lock. The PapaWangsta's instructions should get you taken care of once you download it.

thanks for the intel on this app. but where in settings does one turn on the percentage? im on an unlocked note plus if that matters...
I'm on a note 8 until later today. The attached print screen shows where it's at on the note 8. You should be able to search "hide battery percentage" to find it.
Wow, what an idiot I am ! damn I’m sorry to have wasted internet bandwidth on such a daft question. I cant believe how I missed that in settings.....

I doggedly go through settings to find buried stuff like this. Goodlock apps are superb; even got rid of that nasty AT&T logo.
Just black across the top of my stock Note 10 homescreen like I want it.
