[REQ] Need a shortcut to toggle Bluetooth on/off

I am using a BT handsfree in my car. I need a quick method to toggle BT on/off mith the minimum of clicks. Ideally, on the home screen.
Any solution is appreciated, also existing apps/tweaks whatsoever.
The option to keep BT all the time on is not acceptable, due to many reasons eg. battery consumtion.
Thanx

Search for vjvolubilis. It's here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=255911

try ammars or panoshas action screens (search for them in this section of the blackstone apps)
work a treat - ammars action screen enables bluetooth with discoverability and panoshas just enables bluetooth

Hi!!
Try Launch Manager...its veeeery goood

you my use the previous tips or just get that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362115, simplest of possibilities....this cab add to your programs an icon which tapped make your bluetooth on and discoverable mode....tap it again and it will switch it of.

AEButton Plus will do what you're after. I have it set to a tripple press of the up volume button (double is WiFi toggle, single: Volume) but you can set it to anything, even a single press.

It's not actually only the toggle, it's a whole software to programmatically change buttons behavior.
Don't know what you mean with two files, all you need is a .cab file. Simply comy it somewhere to device (e.g. onto mictoSD per USB cable) and then start it in Windows Explorer.
During install you will get the settings window, where you can perform settings as I suggested above.

put the two files into a folder on your phone. mine are in a folder in program files on my storage card. then open up two windows on your pc. the first window with the the files in on your phone and in the second got to windows/start menu/programs on your phone. then just drag and drop with the right click of your mouse the bluetooth file. when the menu appears choose create shortcut here. exit all windows and go to your phone. you will now find the shortcut in your programs. hope this helps

Wake phone up with trackpad?

I think the G2 guys could have taken this one cue from the iPhone and other phones. I'm really hoping this is something we can add after root is available.
Not a big fan of having to use the power button.

I have been using widget locker app and it allows to be waken from by trackpad.

ya on my n1 it was so much more convenient to just press the trackball to wake ugh patience i guess...

i have this. But can't get it to do what you're saying

Yea it is kind of irritating having to press power to wake all the time

No legendary is right. Widget locker fixes this well enough.
Just disable the notification icon and in advanced settings check "wake up with any button press".
As far as I can tell the only draw back is having to slide the bar to unlock and then having to enter ur unlock pattern if u have one.

I'm glad you found your answer on your own. I really do like that app and when it worked it was a double bonus. Had it installed on my nexus one. Can't wait for ROMS to take advantage of it soon

I used it on my Vibrant. It was kind of buggy at times. Though, I'm not sure if that was the app, or the phone.

No its the app. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't...

Another trick
If you are holding the phone in your left hand (as I mostly do), use the trick that someone posted in another thread-- Just snap the keyboard open about 1/4 of the way. It will wake and unlock in one super-quick step. It can be done in the right hand, too, just not quite as easily.

You really have to tweak settings to make it reliable... took me a bit. Hiding the notification makes it less reliable by their own admission. I have it working fine now though.

Can you share the settings you're using to make it stable on the G2? Sounds like a great app.

and DO NOT hide notification icon if you can help it.
I'm also using the rotary slider instead of the standard one...
so now I press the trackpad to wake up... slide to unlick, and then use unlock pattern to get to home screen. I still prefer that to having to press the top power button.

yup thats what I do, plus im glad we are required to use the power button, which has less chance of getting pressed in your pocket/case as oppose to trackpad..

awesome - thanks for this, i'll be giving it a whirl!
[EDIT] i just tried it out, tried many different settings (including those suggested) and couldn't get it to work more than a few times. alas, that's more frustrating than helpful, so til it's fixed i've uninstalled. thanks for trying to help out though - i really do want trackpad wake.

^ ditto. It was reliable for a while then became sporadic
This should be an app fixable thing as opposed to needing root though. I will wait I suppose.

I really want this feature too, but I don't want to have the phone wake when pressing the vol/camera keys. Is there somewhere we can request this in the next software update from T-mobile / HTC? I assume this is not remediable without rooting otherwise. I'd prefer not to root my phone just for this one feature.

i haven't tweaked any settings and my trackpad now wakes the phone up every time. I say now, as it didn't do it consistently until i un-installed a live wall paper i had (Thunderstorms) - a couple of other issues vaporized when i un-installed that app
neat wallpaper though - the developer is supposed to be working out the bugs for use on the G2

Hahhaha! Don't ask tmobile or htc for help. They'll just lock it down more. I have a headache from trying to get root access working. This nand lock really sucks! Sorry a bit off topic, I guess.

So now that we've got full root, is there a quick, simple and reliable way to wake the phone by pressing the trackpad button (i.e. wake to the unlock screen, not fully unlock).

[SOLVED] WidgetLocker Lockscreen issues on the SGS2 i9100

I've been having issues with WLL on my SGS2.
The app works but I can't seem to be able to add custom sliders.
There is no WL themes folder and wltheme.zip files don't install.
Has anyone else been having this issue on the SGS2?
NO LONGER AN ISSUE. Turns out apk was mislabled. version installed was 1.2 not 2.02. Sorry about all this. I tried to delete the thread but couldn't.

I use WidgetLocker Lockscreen with great succsess <3

I don't mean the sliders that come with the app. I'm having trouble adding custom sliders and themes like CowonD3Lock, PowerMod3, ArrowSlider, etc.

WidgetLocker works without a hitch on my Galaxy S2 - with custom sliders installed. The way I moved them to the phone was via Dropbox. I moved the slider .zip-files to the Dropbox on my computer, then opened the (Dropbox) phone app and selected open with WidgetLocker for the slider archives.

Problem solved. Thank you guys

i have another problem with WL, when i want to copy files to my phone thru USB cable it says i must stop all running programs. When i stop WL everything is OK.
Is there any solution to this? (if you understand my problem)

WidgetLocker is awesome, however i haven't been able to use the Alternative Wallpaper option. Anyone else having that issue? I can select one and resize it but it never appears on the lock screen. Instead I only see the homescreen wallpaper.
SOLVED!
Apparently it just didn't like me resizing the orange background selection box to max. Leaving the size just shy of full got it working.

bugs and issues
So, is it just me?
I've been trying to play with settings but unfortunately these issues remain on SGS2:
Home Button
I have unchecked "Allowed Home Button" but I can still unlock the screen when I press the home button. Press once to see WL (with a small delay - bigger than on SGS), press again to unlock.
Wake Up
I can wake up the device also by using the power button despite having Easy Wake Mode unchecked.
Stock Lock
I always see the stock orange unlock screen first when a text message or email is received. Keyguard Dance is checked. If there is a missed call, it's fine, I see the WL. Stock screen was also on when the device was downloading a Gameloft game and it is also shown before an alarm is launched as well.
Notification
I have a slider for text messaging and emails with notifications enabled. Let's say I have both unread messages as well as emails. If I unlock it, read them all, the notification bubbles are still there - they're not cleared. Unless I clear them again using each individual slider.

Can someone please help me with this... I am trying to disable the 4 default sliders to use a custom one in their place... but CAN'T. I have searched the settings but can't find out how to do this still... arggghhhh.

You don't use settings menu to change the sliders, you must hold on a blank spot on the screen for a couple of seconds, the choose custom slider. To change what the slider shall do you just drag the slider and you will get a menu what you want it to do and change icons and so.
Hope this helped you a little bit on the way.

Shortcuts on the Huawei Nova

In our working lives, we know that it's important to seek out ways to optimize processes and find shortcuts to solving problems, whether it's how we communicate or how we replicate processes. By seeking our efficiencies and saving time, we can transfer our energy to completing more important tasks.
This three part tutorial will go over all kinds of shortcuts you can access on the Huawei Nova. We hope you'll come to love your phone even more after you learn these quick tricks. Once you see how quick and easy these techniques are, you'll be able to use them in your daily life, making you more efficient and effective.
Part 1: Screen off actions
Did you know that you can take snapshots and call your contacts even when your screen is off? Here's how!
Ultra snapshot
Never worry about missing a photo worthy moment again. When this feature is enabled, all you need to do is quickly press the volume down button twice to take a snapshot of whatever your camera is pointed at, even if your screen is turned off.
{
"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"
}
To enable screen off snapshots:
Step 1 Turn on Camera and go to the Settings screen.
Step 2 Go to Ultra snapshot and enable Open camera and take quick snapshot.
Screen off quick calling
Call any of your contacts at any time. When this feature is enabled, all you need to do is press and hold the volume down button for 2 seconds and let go when you hear the voice prompt. Then, just say the name of the person you want to call to dial their number, even when your screen is off.
To enable screen off quick calling:
Step 1 Go to Dialer > Menu > Settings > Quick calling.
Step 2 Enable Quick calling.
Part 2: Launch apps with motion control
You can set up motion control for your favorite apps, so that they're just a gesture away. Simply use your knuckle to write out a letter on your phone screen to launch applications.
Step 1 Go to Settings > Smart assistance > Motion control > Draw.
Step 2 Enable Draw.
Step 3 Designate which draw actions correspond with a specified application
Note: This feature currently supports drawing the letters C, E, M, and W. You can choose which letters open which application.
Part 3: Screenshot features
One of the most enjoyable features of the mobile phone experience is taking screenshots of interesting content to share with our friends. Here, you can learn all the different ways to take screenshots, and the various types of screenshots available. All of the screenshots you take using these different techniques will be saved in the screenshots folder in your Gallery.
Screenshot and screen recording shortcuts
Pressing the power button and the volume down button at the same time will allow you to take a screenshot of your current screen.
Pressing the power button and the volume up button at the same time will allow you to make a screen recording.
Using the screenshot shortcut
Step 1 Go to the screen you would like to screenshot.
Step 2 Pull down on the notification panel and touch Shortcuts.
Step 3 Touch the screenshot shortcut to take a screenshot.
Note: You cannot use the screenshot shortcut to take a screenshot of the notification panel
Using your knuckles to take screenshots
Use your knuckles to take normal, scrolling, or partial screenshots.
To enable this feature:
Step 1 Go to Settings > Smart assistance > Motion control.
Step 2 Enable Smart screenshot.
You can take several different types of screenshots and even make screen recordings using different knuckle gestures
1. Normal screenshot: Knock twice, firmly and in quick succession, with your knuckle
2. Partial screenshot: Using your knuckle, draw an enclosed region on the screen to capture a partial screenshot. Make sure your knuckle stays in contact with the screen while you are taking the screenshot.
When you complete this action, your phone will take a screenshot of the area you have drawn with your knuckle. You will be able to see the shape you are drawing while taking a partial screenshot.
After you have finished drawing the shape, you can choose from four different shapes at the top right of the screen to refine its edges. You can also drag the corners and edges of the screenshot to adjust its size and shape.
3. Make a screen recording: Knock twice firmly with two knuckles to start or stop a screen recording.
4. Take a scrolling screenshot: Draw an S with your knuckle to take a scrolling screenshot. Your screen will automatically begin to scroll down. Touch your screen to stop the scrolling screenshot.

Similar to this or a shine effect only around camera or tens of other styles can be used to indicate an event such as charging, music playing or a notification to help you to know even who texted you just by a glance far from your phone.
some of you may know this app before and some may had struggled with it in its bad moment with a broken version but it did not stop improving and all got fixed and many more feature added.
Because this app has tons of options to customize your phone, even wallpapers, I will start by writing instructions for how to enable the basic options of the feature which this thread is about:
How To:
1- Search google play "AOE" or "Always On Edge" and install this ~6MB App
2- Enter section #1 "Main Settings"
choose if you want the LED effect to be shown within System Ambient Display or a separated screen
3- enable accessibility services and give required permissions
4- Go back and enter section #2 "App settings"
for when to light choose "when a notification comes" and/or charging lighting as you like
5- scroll to bottom and save.
6- Enter enabled apps section and make sure the app you will test with is enabled
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe
Please give the app some time only once and then you will not need to even open it:
After testing please discover all sections the app can do what ever you need for such feature
like at the same place of step 4 you can enable Mixer which show all current notifications colors
and Reminder which repeat lighting every X seconds and let other options you may like.
in lighting settings section you can customize the general style of lighting.
the app is indeed complicated due to variety of options and I'm always working on improving it.
Battery Drain:
I use it personally for notifications only, all apps, while screen is on and off, reminder for 5 seconds every 5 seconds limited to 30 repeat and I got 100s of emails and messages and the app is not even on system battery use list. but in general this app can be used with no noticeable difference in battery usage and it can drain your battery in few hours. it depends on the options you choose, there are a lot of options to minimize battery consuming it basically depends on lighting time and enabled widgets.
in worst cases there is options to prevent the app from working if device is not charging and other 10s of options so you can set when the app should not light as when the app should light.
App brief description:
AOE contain a lot of features and options and all can be customized as you like, here is some of the main features:
Edge lighting can also be customized for charging, music, wallpaper and many other events
It can be customized to work in a highly flexible way with AOD clock or independently, or even both like Tap to Light feature.
Lighting can be around all screen or around front camera or both with many other lighting place options like LED style with variety of animations.
You can use it to show lighting effects for many events like notifications including missed calls of course, charging, fully charged, screen lock, screen unlock, headset plugged, listening to music ,
ongoing or outgoing calls, recent apps menu and flash after unlock.
You can customize lighting color, style, effect and place for each event, each app, each contact name or even each chat group.
Notifications light has more useful additional features like Reminder which the lighting will be repeated every period you choose and you can even choose to make a sound alert for notification reminder,
and Mixer which will iterate through all current notifications colors..
Brightness can be adjusted regardless of the lighting is independent or with Always On Display, on top of that you can set high brightness for lights and low brighting for AOD/clock widgets.
It has many options to restrict its job like prevent the app from lighting if device is charging, not charging, not in landscape mode, low battery, sleep time or to follow Do Not Disturb mode.
with a block list to prevent it from working for someone
AOE also support lighting in all screen states, turned off or turned on, horizontal or vertical.

Pretty cool! I didn't know about this app so thanks for sharing! Anyone else have any cool mods or recommendations for settings?

Awesome. Could you add the settings you use to center it on the hole? I'm getting there but just be nice as a starting point then could adjust thickness to taste . Thanks again! So cool. Takes me to back to OMG! NEXUS HAS A NOTIFICATION LED.

sorry I do not have a pixel but automatic adjustment should be fine initially (is not it?) then click preview and adjust manually a little bit using -+ buttons

Already paid for the Lifetime. This works really well!

This is as close as I could get it to center.

That's seems different from mine. By 10+ on some. I wonder how much the display size setting effect it. Thank you for the starting point.

I managed to use this app but everytime I got a new message after a restart, the app just don't work, does anybody knows a workaround? or it's just me not having a correct config?

seems gone from the playstore
