[Q] G4 Clip Tray: Settings / How to disable - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The G4 has a copy/paste manager named Clip Tray. Apparently, this is a long-standing 'feature' of LG phones and tablets and has been baked into a number of previous LG devices.
When you select and copy some text or invoke the copy command in one of your apps, it presents you with a slide-out menu containing thumbnails of both the current and all previous text snippets it has stored in memory.
There's a lock button that seems to allow you to make selected clippings persist across reboots (really? why?) and a trash button that you can use to manually delete any or all clippings in the tray.
As useful as this might be, it could also lead to all sorts of problems - the whole thing seems designed to solve a problem nobody has (and to create all sorts of security issues), namely to make clippings persist in the clipboard for a long as possible. Why on earth would anybody want to keep potentially sensitive information in the clipboard 'forever'...?
Questions:
How do I manage the Clip Tray behaviour? I want to be able to set it so that it only remembers the last operation (like a 'traditional' clipboard), and a clipboard time-out.
What's the max number of clippings is it capable of holding? It would be rather worrisome if there was no limit on the number of copy/paste operations (other than your 3GB of RAM) it can store (and no way to manage it).
Is there a way to disable Clip Tray altogether? - I assume a clipboard manager such as Clipper would take over from Clip Tray when installed on your device, but I would like to explicitly disable it if possible.

Some have suggested that clearing the Clip Tray can fix input lag. I'm testing this theory now.
I cleared it and now the horrible almost one second lag on the QSlide Calculator is gone. I filled the clip tray with big URLs from the browser and left them there for a few days and the calculator was slightly laggy, but not as bad as before.
I too would like this gone, but for now I just hit the small arrow button that appears on the lower right of the screen after a Clip Tray operation and clear it manually each time. I wonder if the carrier and LG spyware index the Clip Tray too?

Been looking into this myself, the Clip Tray seems to be part of the LG Keyboard app, with no viable way to disable it without disabling the native keyboard completely. I'm still looking into it atm.

I tried freezing the official LG keyboard but the clip tray still appears when text is copied. Surely there is a way to disable this with root access by renaming certain system files?

You know what thinking about it, it's probably incorporated into the SystemUI apk as it's built into the copy/paste function. So it's unlikely it can be hacked out easily. Really wish LG provided user control for it. It's so dam insecure.

Yeah, it's not only annoying but a security risk. We can only hope that LG will provide an option to disable in a future update, or maybe there will be an Xposed module that removes it (when Xposed finally works with G4).

Won't be using Xposed, I only plan to. unlock once/if Cyanogenmod or a decent AOSP variant becomes available.

you can disable cliptray.
1. go into cliptray, and delete everything in there
2. go to /system/etc/permissions/com.lge.software.cliptray.xml and comment out the following line:
Code:
<feature name="com.lge.software.cliptray"/>
just add <!-- to the front, and --> to the end so it looks like:
Code:
<!-- <feature name="com.lge.software.cliptray"/> -->
reboot. and enjoy. unfortunately when you go to paste something, you'll still see "Paste, Cliptray", but cliptray wont work, nor will you see any dialogs

Yep, disabling the LG keyboard should do the trick. Unfortunately that only works on rooted devices - you cannot fully disable the LG keyboard on a non-rooted phone right now. I agree with everyone else saying LG really should make that available with an update. It's a security issue, and as such disabling Clip tray, or even simply adjusting its behaviour, should be available to everyone.
They could simply add settings to Clip Tray that allow you to put a time limit (say 60s, 3 minutes) on stuff being stored there, and more importantly to create a blacklist of apps like password managers that should never use Clip Tray.

unfortunately, i learned recently that disabling cliptray, also screws up screenshots. if you take a screenshot, the systemui tries to write the screenshot to the cliptray, and cant, since it's disabled, so the "Saving Screenshot.." notification gets stuck. the only way to remove the notification is to force close systemui or reboot. you can still take screenshots with 3rd party apps, or quickmemo, but the built in android screenshot function (volume down + power key) breaks until someone can remove the offending cliptray code from systemui

With the "notify clean" module you can disable some notifications while not disabling others from the same app. Might help you.

Thx a lot. That worked with lg g4 and 10e software.
I'll think that is a great security hole from lg.
I am using keepass and all my passwords was visible in the clip tray.
Now they are gone

Btw, keepass has an option where you can tell it to never use the Android clipboard - if enabled, which I strongly recommend, your passwords won't show up in LG's Clip Tray either.

If only the suggestions here were remotely helpful. I have root also, disabling the lg keyboard does absolutely nothing to stop the annoyance of clip tray. i cannot even paste properly with this fking thing, when i hold to paste, clit tray stupidly selects the surrounding letters/word next to the cursor, i cannot simply paste something in without replacing something else (not at all what i want) like how i need to on occasion. Is lg really this shortsighted?

There's a thread on reddit about disabling ClipTray and preserving the screenshot functionality:

For me this works beautifully

Cannot select multiple files in File Explorer

Just found another problem with my TP2. I want to move some files to another location but I cannot select multiple files in File Explorer by draging the stylus to highlight them.
Is this behaviour by design or is there a bug on my device?
Shd be by default. Pls correct me if I am wrong.
I use resco for multiple file selections.
Simple.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Gestures\Touch]
"Disabled"=dword:1
It works! Thx Monx!
No problem. If the avatar is you, what about gimme a simple kiss. if it not u, pls dont. i'm not gay. but ur avatar is really cute . sorry off topic. just cant resist
(you know i'm kidding)
I also was looking for this solution.
And indeed, it works.
But it introduces another problem: To switch between your mail account, you can swipe from left to right.
But after this patch, that doesn't work anymore
So I've put the old setting back.
@ronh
can u give more details about email switch by swipe mate?
in manila or messaging app? mine is just fine. maybe there is some tmob customization.

It's in the messaging app, not in manilla.
When you're in the messaging app, and you move your finger from left to right, it toggles between the configured mail accounts.
In mine TP2 for example: Outlook - Gmail - SMS (and then it starts over with Outlook.)
And although my provider is TMO, I have an unbranded Touch Pro2 WWE edition.
@ronh
Ok mate, got it, thanks (i always use navigation pad with raphael to do this)
Just for info, in wm6.5, we can swipe to switch between tab (iehone settings). So it cause a side effect in messaging.

Indeed, that's a problem.
The Xperia I had recognized if you are using the finger or the stylus. When using the finger the application scrolls and when using the stylus you can draw a frame to multiselect items.
Maybe that's possible with the TP2 too?

Maybe it is related to OS build features or AKU changes.
Surely by disabling that reg key you're pretty much switching touchflo off?
So scrolling of anything in any WM apps (contacts, text messages, emails, calendar entries) will no longer work without using the scroll bar?
I just checked stock shipped Raphael (SEA 20764) OEMDrivers rgu, the value is set to 1 by default. And yes, messaging still scrollable to switch email account
I can still left< >right scroll between email accounts after this tweak.

after this tweak can you make a zoom to photos with stylus or rotate photos...????
You mean in photo albums? I have never been able to do either, even before the tweak.
I can double tap the image to enlarge it, or use the slider at the bottom of the screen to zoom in.
In any case, the inability to group files together in File Explorer is more of an issue for me than being able to rotate a photo (can always turn the phone 90 degrees instead), and the registry tweak has fixed that.
Very strange, just tried it again: With the patch --> no swiping, undoing the patch --> swipings works.
Too bad, I'd loved to have the best of 2 worlds like Mesquire...
(I guess she looks the TP2 lovely in his display )
Hi all,
The easy way to select multiple files in Explorer is the Windows way of selecting multpile files. Just press CRTL on your keyboard (you have one ) en select the files you want... It's Windows isn't it?

so weird! My TP2 suddenly lost it even with this set to 1
already tried rebooting: still nada.
UPDATE:
on further investigation, I found I can select multiple files only in some folders, e.g., root directory of the storage card, My wallpapers, Templates, files and folders directly under My Device, Application Data, Program Files...
but not files directly under My Documents, whether under My Device or storage card
UPDATE #2
The only way to have the ability to select multiple files in any folder AND keep left< >right scroll to switch email accounts is to set the it to 1, but not reboot. If I reboot with it set to 1, it behaves like the above.
Right now I have decided to set to 1 only when I need to select multiple files with the stylus, and change it back to 0 thereafter, or before a reboot. What a pain!

True
but I prefer doing in portrait - if I open the keyboard to use its CTRL key, the screen switches to landscape mode.

[TOOL] Panels Button UnAssigner

Introduction
From time to time Panels button can be accidentally pressed (usually with "Green Phone" button). I hate long waiting for Panels Manager come to screen, cancel it, return to normal life...
It's very annoying for me!
Target
Disable primary function of "X Panel" button.
If you need to switch panel - use different launcher for PanelManager.
Simple Solution
Install latest MortScript on your Xperia.
Unzip attached file to any folder on your Xperia.
Run "UnAssign" to disable launching Panel Manager by "X Panel" button. You need to run it only once - "X Panel" button will be disabled forever (or until you use "ReAssign", see below).
If you don't need to switch panels - that's all.
If you need to switch panels (with disabled "X Panel" button) - use "\Program Files\PanelManager\ShowPanels.exe" (or your localized path) to run Panel Manager.
If you want to put things back - just run "ReAssign" to restore original function of "X Panel" button.
Folder with unzipped files can be deleted at any time - assignment/unassignment of "X Panel" button will be remembered.
After disabling primary function of "X Panel" button it can be used for different tasks. I use AE Button Plus to assign "Start Menu" function to short click of "X Panel" and "ShowPanels" to long press of "X Panel".
Should works on any localized device.
If someone needs .CAB version - just ask me.
I don't really understand what exactly your files do.. rename the panelmanager.exe and replace it with your empty.exe so it does nothing?
And the other one reverses this?
EDIT
Accidental double post.. dunno how!

Yes.
In addition you can use "ShowPanels" to switch panels in case that you need it even if direct function of "X Panel" is disabled.

You might want to mention that you need MortScript installed though. At least a noob like me needed to figure that out first.

Problems selecting text - in SOME apps

I have just upgraded from a TyTN2/Kaiser to a new TP2/Rhodium running WM 6.1 .. and am enjoying the experience except for one fly in the ointment.
Text selection in certain apps is incredibly painful: using the stylus to select a portion of text is almost always interpreted as an attempt to drag-scroll the display. "Almost always" because if you time it properly, waiting a second or so and start dragging before the context menu pops up, then it sorta kinda works. But the selection seems to kick in quite some time AFTER beginning to drag, and therefore doesn't start at the beginning of the target. And Double-clicks (to select a whole word) no longer stretch word-for-word as I drag.
Most apps still work fine, but the following key apps suffer this annoying misbehaviour:
Contacts - But only the "Notes" tab. All text in the "Details" tab behaves as expected!
SMS texting - This occurs when selecting "Send Text Message" from a contact's Summary display (which is actually my preferred method as it is the quickest!). And it also occurs if you start an SMS from the messaging app via menu options Menu\New\SMS. But if you compose an SMS in the threaded view of a conversation in the same app, then the text selection is ok!
I can't find any posts by others who might be experiencing something similar, so is there a solution for this? A registry hack maybe? Am I the only one who has noticed this problem, or am I the only one who is annoyed so much by it?
Notes tab of Contacts app: I experience the same here. But it doesn't really bother me too much since I rarely have to select text here.
Messaging App: I didn't know you can select text like that (ie. tap and hold for a bit and drag) until you mentioned it! Anyway, if you want to select text here, you can always tap "Menu" and then "Select Text".

I use the contact notes extensively, so it is extremely frustrating to have it compromised and complicated now (compared with TyTN2).

Ahh - thanks for that! Now if only i could find a way to keep that as the default
** UPDATE **
** UPDATE **
I just noticed that everything works properly .. if and only if you use "My Mobiler" to remotely control the phone. So you can use your mouse and your desktop monitor to drag select text in the above compromised apps (including Active Tasks by the way) .. and everything will be fine.
But when it come to using the stylus on the phone's touch-screen directly, the selection still misbehaves!!
This is not a workaround, just mentioning it in the hope that it might help someone enlightened enough to be able to piece the puzzle together

Thanks, but i'm not sure how exactly does it solve the problem? If you mean the post by orlandojumpoff (post #16) about pressing and holding and then dragging when the animation starts, then that's actually the problem itself.
The animation goes by so fast, that each time you do this, it takes a few false starts before you manage to time it right. The overall effect is to give priority to TF3D scrolling at the expense of functionality in terms of text selection. It makes me want to rip out TF3D by it's heart, which of course is a bit overkill.
I'd settle for being able to tell TF3D to stop interfering in specific apps, or simply to stop interferring while editing. Actually, come to think of it .. another viable option might be to find a way to get that animation to take a little longer ... hmmm
One thing you can do to mitigate it somewhat is to double tap on a word to select a word, triple tap to select an entire line. I use Pocket Informant and it too won't allow me to drag to select unless I try to time it like you do. Another trick is to use the hardware keyboard, and your arrow and shift keys combined to select text.
Sure wish the good things we like about WM would stick from version to version, and the bad things would be fixed and stay fixed. Hey, it could happen

There is a similar problem on Topaz (Diamond 2). It seems finger scrolling sensitivity was made too high and it can no more tell finger from stylus. I found a (partial) solution. Maybe it works on Rhodium too.
- Find the registry key "HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings".
- It should contains a subkey named "TFLOIgnoreAPPs". If it does not exist create it.
- For every application where you want to be able to select text add a string value called "IgnoreAppXY" where XY are two characters different for every entry.
- As value enter the name of the application EXE file as seen in file explorer (warning: case does matter).
From then on for that applications finger scrolling is suppressed and text selection works as expected.
This is a sample from my registry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings\TFLOIgnoreAPPs]
"IgnoreAppST"="WiFiNetwork.exe"
"IgnoreAppYT"="YouTube.exe"
"IgnoreAppPH"="PIMHelper.exe"
"IgnoreAppNP"="NOTEPAD.exe"
"IgnoreAppCE"="ContactEditor.exe"
"IgnoreAppTM"="tmail.exe"
"WiFiNetwork.exe" and YouTube.exe" were already there. I added "PIMHelper.exe" (editing inside SPB Diary Today plugin),
"ContactEditor.exe" (editing for Contacts), "tmail.exe" (editing for SMS and email) and "NOTEPAD.exe" (Orneta text editor).
Hope it helps.
That method worked for me for Pocket Informant, using "ignoreappPI"="PocketInformant.exe".
Thanks!
SOLVED!

Brilliant - Thank you! This is EXACTLY what i was hoping for! Awesome!

.. Thanks again oruam57!
Just a word of caution. My device already had [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings\TFLOIgnoreAPPs], with YouTube as the only exclusion, but i notice that the board seems to introduce a space into the "TFLOIgnoreAPPs" portion, which might cause problems for some folks who want to try this out.
And for the record, this solution does not solve the problem for the standard editor for Contacts and Tasks, which doesn't have a Process whose name you can use. So I'll start looking at custom editors for Contacts now, but it's good to have this handy tweak within reach!

Maybe I do not understand exactly your problem but on my Topaz:
- in the first tab of standard Contacts and Task editor text selection does work (do not know why, I suppose Touch Flow has some internal logic);
- in the second tab (Notes) of Contacts text selection can be forced working by inserting the process "ContactEditor.exe";
- in the second tab (Notes) of Tasks text selection can be forced working by inserting the process "poutlook.exe".
At any rate using Dotfred's Task Manager (http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm) you can inspect processes and windows on your phone and with a little patience you can find the owner process of any interesting window.
Hooray!

@ Oruam57, you're right, thanks again! I was in fact using DotFred's Task Manager to discover the processes .. but i came to the incorrect conclusion (that there was no identifiable processes, for Tasks and for Contacts) because i saw no change in the processes listed between editing and not editing their notes, as poutlook.exe was still running after i edited the notes and while the list of tasks/contacts was still displayed.
And this is how I overlooked the possibility that poutlook.exe itself was the editor
BTW, i notice that the exclusion for poutlook.exe works for the notes of both Tasks AND Contacts, they seem to use the same editor. I have no ContactEditor.exe listed at all, must be for your custom editor.
I tried with on WLMMessenger.exe, but it didint work.
I still cant select ( highlight ) text from a conversation. When i do it begins to scroll..
Has anyone the solution?

[Q] Launch app on Keyboard slideout?

Hey all,
One thing that annoys me about the new x2 sip is that it continues to use xt9 even though I'm typing on the hardware keyboard. (If you know a setting to stop this let me know)
What I would like to do is have the application "SipSwitch" launch and change the current sip to the NullKeyboard whenever I slide out the hardware keyboard on the xperia.
Does anyone know of an app or fix that allows applications to be run whenever you slide out your keyboard?
Thanks in advanced
Try this
Do you also use the slide to switch between portrait/landscape modes?
If yes, use PQzII to switch SIPs.
If no, try this:
Install the registry key below (use tascal reg edit to import them). It assumes you use Keyboard and nueNullKB (if not, just change the registry entry to your null SIP).
Copy sipswitch.exe to Windows folder (this is mandatory).
Reboot.
I can't do anything about the SIP popping out when you slide in - that's due to how sipswitch works.
You can also use those registry entries to run programs. They will need to reside in the Windows folder though. These registry entries rely on windows state notifications (snapi) so there's no polling involved. Don't use the registry setttings if you switch between landsccape/portrait tho. the SIP won't be positioned properly.
Thank you for this! Don't have time now, but I will try it out soon and tell you what I think.
There's a slidersound app/cab that enables sounds for the keyboard whenever it slides in/out and also can open up an app of your choice...search for it!

Tried searching for this, but I'm getting a lot of stuff that's not related. If you can please post a link or give the exact name of the file or something. thanks for the suggestion though.

If yes, use PQzII to switch SIPs.
If no, try this:
Install the registry key below (use tascal reg edit to import them). It assumes you use Keyboard and nueNullKB (if not, just change the registry entry to your null SIP).
Copy sipswitch.exe to Windows folder (this is mandatory).
Reboot.
I can't do anything about the SIP popping out when you slide in - that's due to how sipswitch works.

Hey inks, thanks for your input. The registry fix didn't work, but PQZII did and was exactly what I was looking for. I doubt I ever would have found that app myself. PQZII will probably be useful for some other things too. later
ah the registry notifications depend on you installing nueNullKb (http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nueNullKB.aspx). Too lazy/hard to make a cab for it so it's not easy to set up. owell.
But yeah if you're just switching SIPs between landscape/portrait, PQzII works a treat.
@ImPacking
If you're talking about nuerom's nueSlidingKb (creates an icon called Sliding Sound in Settings) or nueKBLight, they don't work for the X1 (was designed for touch pro 1). Problem being they rely on detecting portrait -> landscape switch modes but for right sided hw keyboards.

[Ideas] Bada Modifications.

I would like to hear your ideas for Bada modifications, what things do you want to see done to Bada?
Everything and anything goes! (within reason)
My wishlist.
-
Delete some unneeded "Icons"... because I can remove Facebook, Twitter ...
But few JAVA Midlets are somewhere protected against remove.
I was able to delete jar, jad, Icon but Icon still there in menu
Where is the Database entry to clear?
Preinstalled Widget too...
-
120 Apps Limit...
Hmm, there are other ways to replace ... BUT why 120 Apps are Maximum?
-
Developer signed Apps are only 1 possible to activate...
bada SDK Samples for instance...
Via Broker.exe Install seems more then 1 work at the same time... Why?
And how to expand to install more then 1 App at same time.
-
Filemanager bada App with Access to internal Filesystem.
I'm sure that Samsung will not allow this on their Store... but is it possible.
Someone told their are no APIs to access internal folder...
maybe invetigation of apps_compressed.bin will help to find "Commands"...
-
Folder delete in internal FS
I can create folder with PSAS, but can't delete. They are writeprotected.
More ideas hopefully later...
Best Regards
well for instance i wanna change the keyboard to either htc or iphone.... this one is too crammy like congested.... wanna have a spacious potrait keyboard......... and with universal setting like if i wanna activate predective text it should apply everywhere... not just in messages........ and it should always stay on..........
secondly i wud like to see more UI modifications beyond just themes...... like changing the status bar or the way notifications occur and stuff........... custom roms maybe... variety is a good thing...
I'd like to see:
Ability to create widgets or widget like apps using system parameters..
For eg: GPRS data, browser bookmarks, setting wallpapers etc..
Customization of the top Notification Panel buttons.
Filemanager Drag and Drop to move files and folders
A memory cleanup application.
Big Aspect sized thumbnails for videos.. now we cannot distinguish videos in thumb view.
More Right click options in files/folders - i.e., Click and Hold to show Menu options to Move/Copy/Delete/Rename/Open with/etc..
I'd like to see shortcuts (with names) like on Android and continous autofocus in the video cam !
My ideas or things I want in Bada
Here are my ideas :
1. Ability to replace whole UI like Android.
2. Folders in Menu.
3. Text-reflow in Browser.
5. Unlimited Menu pages and Home screens.
6. Unlimited SMS storage (why you want to restrict us to 1300 on a SMARTPHONE )
7. Sending Group SMS to any number of people (can be very useful for certain type of
businesses. Did u think about it Sammy ?)
8. Auto-hide of Notification bar and Lower bar after certain amount of time or on Tap.
9. Different Wallpapers on every home screen.
10. Better animations.
11. Smaller icons. 4x5 grid with an option to change to suit consumers' taste.
12. Notification Drop down to have buttons for APN, Brightnesss.
13. In-built Backup-Restore app for all phone data. User should be able to select to what he
wants to backup or restore.
14. Highly efficient GPS. (I would not like to buy a BMW whose tires I have to fix. I have
paid for it, btw.)
15. Better Facebook(with chat), Twitter and IM app atleast Gtalk. Current one plainly sucks
16. Various bugs in Messaging to be fixed.
17. Select all and Mark as read option in Email app.
18. Universal availability of Social Hub Premium.
19. A little better sound output through speakers (it is based on personal taste only )
20. Text-reflow and Pinch-to-zoom in Email app.
21. Soft buttons for Menu and Back.
22. All applications to have Exit button.
more to come.................
Out of all these I have already solved 7th but then everybody can't make changes to the file system.
Yes, I do love Bada and its potential. Its simplicity is killing feature
Thanks !
I think user experience would benefit by implementing GPU acceleration in UI and browser as in IOS and Windows phone 7.

Hi all. @TigerCourage on AF I play with the camera settings file "CamSetting.ini" in folder "Registry" can be seen with the program "sTune" (I started some new options "IntelligentAuto" I do not know what does). There is also an option to focus on video recording "RecordFocusMode" from "0" to "2" default "0". Try setting but do backup before (right click and copy).
Try my sample file

Doesn't work mate, I tried copying your file and then doing a soft rest and it didn't work. I also tried playing with options like RecordFocusMode and IntelligentAuto but still the same...
It would be very AWESOME if we get continous autofocus on Wave!

Hey how you copy a file because the file copied to the phone is only by drag and drop. If you are able to copy my files when you start the camera will see the icon "sA" without restarting the phone. Otherwise the effect of the settings I have attached the file with changed sound of shooting

Yes I copied by drag and drop and I've seen your "sA" icon at the beginning but the continous autofocus is nowhere to be seen...
Is there anyway to save camera shoot images in uncompressed format so that the quality of captured images will be maximum?
I would like to have a "fast-access" GPS button - next to the mute button ("green" menu). I'm really sure that this function will be very popular!

Here are my ideas :"
about ur 7 th point (group sms to any no. of people).. this can be done using stune... jst modify the ini of messages settings there the limit is set to 10.. i dont remember the exact folder
and too lazy to look ... jst play around and see if u find it. otherwise i'll find it for u
I would like to have more keyboard languages (with T9 or whatever it's called on the Wave).
I have seen a friend of mine with a Wave from Vodafone, and he has 30+ langage/keyboard optinons. On my wave (normal German FW) I have about 10. No Cyrillic characters, no Chinese, no Arabian...
How am I supposed to use the full functionality of such a wonderful phone if i can't write an email to a friend /business associate in Russia for example.
I could grump about it a few more pages, but the essence should already be clear
P.S. AFAIK the languages are stored in the CSC flash file, so it's not so easy to "just add" some in, but I hope someone from samsung might also see this and think about it.
Android.=D
If i where a moderator or administrator i would ban that guy for inciting flame wars...
