If someone could provide a short guide I would be very grateful (I have ADB and all tools necessary, I just don't know the correct commands to get it working).
All I'm working with is This and I can't seem to get it to work. Right now I have it set to never black screen (which is nice) but it's lacking the google chromecast clock and temperature.
This is the home I want

Is there anyway I can enable wifi tethering over adb. I rely on my G2 for internet access and my screen recently quit working. So I was wondering is there anyway to turn on tethering so that I can have internet access when my roomate isn't here with his blackberry.
As far as I know, there isn't really a way to get tethering working with only ADB. Can you explain specifically what doesn't work, the touch screen or the LCD itself? If it's the lcd and you can still touch it, then I suggest using the SDK screenshot tool to help you set up one of the quick keys as a shortcut to the tether app/service. If it's the touch screen, then you might still be able to use the trackpad to set the quick keys also.
Also, I suspect something might be wrong with your data ribbon beneath the hinge, are you sure it's not disconnected?
i believe the G2 still has the input command, and the android SDK has a way of taking screen shots, so you can either do adb shell input key xx where xx is the key number value on the phone(can be found by using clockwork and finding keytest), also my syntax there may be off, adb shell into the phone and type input and see what the phone says the syntax should be. and if the screen is broke you can take screenshots of what "should" be on the screen and move around that way.
Thanks for the help everyone, but I got tired of not having internet i ended up trying to touch it from memory and got it right on the first try. There isn't any damage to either screen, it just quit working while it was in my pocket. I figured it was probably the data cable since I can move the screen up and down a couple times and the screen will change from all white to all black or some other color. I'm not planning on messing with it too much. i have a warranty replacement coming in on the 1st and i'll just wipe it through fastboot and send it in
This is a user problem I realize but recently after letting my kids use KODI on the FireTV I know have a persistent readout of menus, associated xml files, and mouse movements on the top of my screen. Example: Window: fullscreenvideo (VideoFullScreen.xml) Mouse: (0,0). Obviously this changes as I change menus, video modes, etc. I'm guessing there's some key combination to enable/disable this but it seems like I've tried every button without any luck. I do have a keyboard as well should that make it easier to explain how to turn it off. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks and Happy New Year!
apparently i had to turn off debugging in the addon.xml file for the skin. Thanks.
Hi, so I have a fire stick, which I need to relay a single website on constantly for a company, but the thing is, even though firefox is open the stick will go to sleep mode. I sorta need this turned off, I understand there is a way to do this via adb commands, could anyone explain this further? I've tried tasker yet failed to even set up a profile as I couldn't hit the + button with the limited scrolling and functionality that accompanies the remote control with the stick.
any help is appreciated,
thanks!
When I had the first FTV, I had to go to the Display settings and adjust it to compensate for my TV's overscan (yeah, I know, I have a crappy TV in my bedroom) to avoid having a good inch cut out from every edge of the screen.
Now with the FTV2, the option is there in the menus, but it (most ironically) does nothing and simply tells you to fix the thing on your TV (which it can't).
Is there any way to fix this?
My FTV is not rooted, so extra points go to solutions that don't require me to go hacking the thing (which I'll have no problem doing if needed).
Thanks in advance!
Not to derail, but why can't you disable overscan on your TV? There's usually a mode OTHER than the default one that is pixel perfect.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah, I know, "1:1", "Just scan", etc.
Trust me, if the TV had a way to disable overscan I'd know.
It just doesn't.
Hi everybody. I'm a newbie with digging deeper into my device. I'm looking for a solution to control buttons backlight. Since P600 doesn't have led for notifications, I'm interested in using hardware buttons for this purpose. Especially I would like to have backlight while I'm connecting the device to the charger. I hate the screen lighten up (especially at night time) when I plug it in, so I disabled this feature, but it disabled hw buttons backlight as well. It happened to me few times that I plugged in the device and I thought it is charging, but I was wrong and I ended up with discharged tablet at the morning ? I have searched through the Internet and found some clues, but nothing worked for me. I tried some apps and even played with Tasker, but since I'm a beginner, I wasn't able to succeed... So I would appreciate any help My device operates on LineageOS 14.1 and is rooted by Magisk
It seems that I figured it out by myself ? I digged bit more into Tasker app, I watched some tutorials and read about running shell commands. Overall it's a quite complicated subject, but for basic purposes it's comprehensible even for me It's all come down to locating proper "brightness" file which is responsible for lighten up capacitive buttons. In case of this device I found it in a different location than in most other devices. Then using Tasker (you need to be familiar with basic operations at least and you need to have root) I set some simple commands to trigger buttons backlight when I plug the device in (I attached a screenshot). I haven't tested other applications of this feature yet, but I belive it could be used in a similar way for other purposes as well.
I described my experiences because maybe somebody would be willing to take advantage of this ?
EDIT: Something went wrong with loading the image so I'm writing commands to run with Tasker:
1. Run shell
Command echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/sec/sec_touchkey/brightness
2. Wait
2 seconds
3. Run shell
Command: echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/sec/sec_touchkey/brightness
And you have to check "Use root"
