dead thread - Droid Eris Themes and Apps

DO NOT REPLY. Looking into HTC Hero lockscreens now. no need to respond.
I've posted about this in other threads, but decided to make my own to increase visibility, since not every dev checks every post.
I really like the transparency of the Nexus Lock Screen, but don't like that I have to give up all other fuctionality (music controls, alarm controls, the look of incoming calls, airplane mode, battery low icons, etc.) So, what I was hoping for, was only the removal of the background image, leaving all other functions in-tact.
Really hoping this is possible and someone is willing to look into it.
Thanks much.

[REQ] Screen Brightness Control Program???

First off, I apologize to anyone who looks at this thread thinking that I am posting another screen brightness program. On the contrary I am LOOKING for a program that will allow us to control the brightness level of the phone in small increments.
Before the Fuze I had the HTC Touch which on the homescreen had the option of pressing the brightness shortcut and it would jump the brightness up a notch and then reset down to the lowest value once it got to the highest. Anyone that had this phone or a similar HTC phone that ran..... HTC Home knows what I am talking about.
While using the fuze I have always wondered why I couldn't find anything like this for newer phones. Searching for the longest times on a number of different forums left me with nothing. The automatic screen brightness control of the touch pro is less then desirable. There's times when my phones plugged in but I'm reading news in bed and I want to be able to have the brightness set to low without having to go through the settings and bugger around with it all.
That said, does anyone know of something that will do this? Or is it possible for one of the awesome program developers here to create something like this?
Here's a screen shot just for referance. By pressing the lightbulb it would change the screen brightness of the phone.
Here's the app you're looking for:

BTW, when you post an app request add "[REQ]" in topic...
you Might also want to try Lumos: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450318&highlight=lumos
this automatically adjusts your backlight depending on your light meter. It has a very quick and easy setup wizard and works wonders on your battery as well!

Updated [16/11]: [App] [G-Sensor] [Brand New] The XSense v1.0

Credits:
Foremost, let us all acknowledge Koushik for his brilliant "Sensors" library upon which most if not all non-HTC apps that use the G-Sensor, Light-Sensor, and Navi-Sensor are built, simply ingenious. Moreover, I would like to recognize No2chem for the NeuLed2 library which is an equally exquisite peace of code that allows access to the Diamond/Pro Leds. Without those two guys, accessing these advance interfaces on the diamond/pro would be inapproachable at best.
Reason: Since I bought my Diamond, I constantly thought HTC gave it a lot of sensors but nearly no .."Sense".
......... X-Sense ...........
* Hopefully, an innovaton & integration of RANDOM but needful features...
Features:
1. Courtesy Settings:
- Select Volume Profiles to activate on Face-Down & Face-UP events. Choose from: None, Silent, Normal, and Vibrate. You can also choose to suspend the Phone when its facing down (duh!).
- Automatically activate/deactivate the Speakerphone during phone calls depending on the phone's posture. In other words, if you're not holding the phone up then it will automatically activate the Speakerphone.
2. Notifications-Sense:
- IF there is/are any outstanding notification(s), the device will vibrate whenever you move it at customizable intervals: Missed Call(s), Voice Mail, and SMS only.
3. Stylus-Sense:- When the Stylus is in/out: Will play faint sound + Blink the Back button's light +/Vibrate. Moreover, the device will vibrate whenever you move it at customizable intervals.
- When the Stylus is out and the device is moved: Device will vibrate twice on every posture change + blink the Back button's light to REMIND you that the Stylus has not been placed back in. This goes ON until the Stylus is placed where it should be.
* Uses "in.wav" & "out.wav" files in the \XSense\ Dir; you can use whatever wave files for this.
4. General Settings:
- Polling Interval: From 200 to 3000 Miliseconds. This determines the rate at which the G-Sensor is polled. Lower values give higher response times and fluid operation at the cost of battery life & CPU utilization.
- Flash Navi Lights: Will blink button lights to notify you of Profile changes and Stylus In/Out.
- Vibrate on Events: Will induce very subtle vibrations to notify you of Notifications and Profile changes.
- Suspend when UP-Side-Down: Your phone will suspend if you hold it up-side-down (duh!)
- Light Navi Button When Suspended: Will do just that. This is an independent setting that turns ON the Navi button's light at suspend time, and OFF at Resume time (this is Event Driven, so no polling is involved). This feature really helps if, like me, you want to see where the damn thing is in the dark - before you launch it against the floor.
6. Installs to "\Program Files\XSense", and Creates 2 shortcuts:
"Start Menu\Programs\XSense" and "Startup\XSenseSvc".
Program Settings are saved to the Registry at "HKCU\Software\XSense\".
Use of System Resources:
1. Diskspace: 162 KB RAM footprint: 374-535 KB Battery: NOT observed.
2. CPU Usage: %0.29 Average. Spikes for 2 seconds to %2.7 - %8.5.
* Indicated CPU usage occurs ONLY when there is an EVENT (posture changed, stylus in/out Sounds playing,
etc)
Logic:
- During phone calls, All features are suspended except the Speakerphone-specific code.
- Program will respond to posture changes only 2 seconds after they have occured, this is to
avoid unintended operation ( as much as possible ).
- Vibration: The way I like it is in waves of 200 miliseconds length! I generally hate vibrations, so if you want it at 201 ms. you're welcome to make your own program and enjoy the merits of your personal taste.
- This prgram Registers Event Handlers for: "G-Sensor", "Incoming Call", "Phone Call in Progress", "Stylus in/out", and Power Manager events. DO NOT move it to Internal Storage, you have been warned.
Requirements:
.NET 3.5 + Diamond or Raphael.
Restrictions:
Only for the Diamond/Raphael (vis-a-vis, it will crash on any other device!)
Bugs/Limitations:
Knock yourself out...

can i have your permission to review this app on a video? i have a youtube dedicated to the FUZE but also other stuff
looks promising and nice
Nice but . . .
OK first off I love this program it works very smoothly, except for one thing, and I am sure this is a simple fix. I unzipped and copied everything to the root folder of my device. Started the application and it starts working, very cleanly I might ad. However the stylus function isn't working for me. I am sure it just has to do with the file of the wav, should I put these in any specific folder?

Tell me more:
- Did the stylus-out/in sound EVER play?
- Did you change the original wav files?
- Is the phone's system volume (not the Ringer) loud enough to be heard?
Notes:
- The wav files (in.wav and out.wav) are supposed to be in the same directory as the program.
- The original wav files are subtle, they are meant to merely "hint" at you.
Glad that this app really works. Maybe in the next release you could add some settings so we can customize it as we wish. The only small problem that I encountered is that the phone doesn't turn back to loud mode when I flip it unless I push the wake button to turn the screen on. This can be annoying sometimes because I missed a call this way...
Good job on this app. It's really subtle but useful at the same time.

Thank you mate. I intend to create a settings screen altough that would be both cumbersome and useless for the current feature-set except for the stylus sounds.
I am thinking of adding a launcher to the stylus events, perhaps a new note would open on stylus-out, then save+close on stylus-in.. who knows, eh?
As for the missed call......LOL... I think that's just the point ...Seriously though, WM devices cannot survive the battery strain if they don't sleep (suspend). So, we do with what we got
Cheers
only issue i am having is.. I would prefer not to have the navi lights on all the time... whether the phone is face up or down my navi lights are always on
Short Review
ok soo far i tested the app and i have to say is this is a real good app, only problems im encountering is the vibration is very very faint, but i guess thats ur deal of conserve battery life? theres no problem to it and besides...speaking of battery life, leaving the NavLight on and messing around with the app for 5 mins straight didnt even take a percent off of my battery, ill try for a more deeper battery challenge but anyways, heres a list of suggestions, pros and cons, btw this app makes my TouchPro look 5000 times more cooler too something ive been wanting on this phone
PROS:
-Courtesy Sense seems to be very effective
-doesnt kill my battery much(yet)
-not a CPU Heavy app, still can run TP flawless
-Stylus Sense is responsive
-not a memory heavy app
CONS:
-Response of every "sense" is very slow, takes like 2 seconds to switch
-Courtesy Sense can sometimes be out of control, can possibly switch the volume off and on since i have my TP in my vertical case(but that can be fixable i guess)
-Cant close the app(if user decides to) but theres a way to close it through task manager(not HTC TM though)
-Backlights dont light up anymore if app is in use
-Cant unmute unless you switch the device on
Suggestions:
-Make a settings menu where u can adjust the poll speed and sensitivity and what Senses you can turn Off or On
-Should make the Stylus notification light blink every 15-30 seconds or 1 min at the most
-Also to add on the Notifications Sense is the famous blinking LED Light whenever you shake the device
-Close/Exit option onto the app
-When the device's volume is set on silent or vibrate, the Common Sense should be turned off until the device volume is set back to normal
-and probably something crazy, the Party Light Mode, where you can make the lights blink with noise or fade different paterns or blink with some random pattern just for FUN lol
Overall Score 9/10 and thats my honest opinion...this is a great app especially in Alpha stage
Video Review coming up this weekend, ill be posting a link soon, thnx for the great app

Bro, let me thank you for a VERY groovy flick, I enjoyed every bit of both your written and video reviews.
I must praise you further for a great job at a thorough & constructive critique. Your stylish review and suggestions are valuable and are noted with all due enthusiasm. I will try my utmost to reflect what I can on my next attempt - the Beta. Also, I will contemplate creating this "feast of lights" you're craving as a token of gratitude for your effort
Cheers
Here's v1.0 ... fully customizable.
This seems to be unneeded around here, So... for the few who want it, y'all can download it from the Diamond Section - In the meantime, I'll be contemplating ways of making new versions unusable on the Raphael for the obvious unpopularity of this device, and equally evident lack of enthusiasm from those who have it
Cheers

[Q] Quite a few issues (memo, profiles, screen) (Beginner)

Hello Everyone!
I am new to Android, my Galaxy Note is my first Android phone. So maybe my questions will seem stupid :
- Is there a way to quickly change between Silence/vibrate/ringtones ? Like a widget ? It is easy to switch between vibrate to ringtones, but I have to go to settings when I have to get the vibration off.
- Is there a way to be reminded of memos or tasks, like an alarm, but with memos ? An app for that maybe ?
- My screen has sometimes problems with black pixels on dark photos or youtube videos. There are huge packs of black pixel, not showing great hardware problem ? I hope not...
Thank you!

If you slide down the drop down menu you can turn on sounds or no sounds. You can also get widgets on the market that can enable or disable vibrations I believe as well.
Gtasks is an app I use to sync google tasks, there are options to put reminders (alarms). I don't believe memos in theory need reminders or alarms. I believe that to be a task if it's time constricted.
You could upload a picture here, and we can see if we can replicate the issue. I don't have my note yet, it's on its way. But I'm sure someone else wouldn't mind taking a look at it.
Cheers

If it is "sometimes" then usually it is not a dead pixel because they are "everytime"... It could be just contrast issues on the picture.

Nexus 6 Help / Recommendations Needed

Hello Everyone,
So I have had my Nexus 6 for almost a month now. I must say, out of all of the phones I have owned the Nexus 6 is hands down my favorite! This is my first Android phone and I feel I made an excellent choice on my device selection. I have owned every iPhone from the 3GS to the 6. I always thought about making the switch from IOS to Android and I knew that when I did it would be for a Nexus device. Needless to say I have had no regrets! The ONLY things I miss are touch id (fingerprint sensor) and visual voicemail. Those are not even comparable to everything that I have gained. Anyways, I will get to the point and list some things I would like some help with and recommendations for.
Google Search Bar: I would love to get rid of the search bar on my home screen for various reasons.
Battery Life: What do some of you do to optimize battery life on your Nexus 6?
Sound: What apps do some of you use to modify sound quality on speakers / headphone jack?
Themes: I would love to get a darker theme that replaces all of the white in the app drawer, settings, messenger, phone, etc.
Notification Light: What is the best app to activate / control the notification light? Paid or not.
Visual Voicemail: How can I obtain voicemail like on an iPhone?
Customization: I have been running stock 6.0 rooted with TWRP recovery. I am looking for recommendations on custom kernals and custom roms for the Nexus 6. (Preferably Android 6.0) I have seen quite a few out there but I do not know much about this stuff. Features I would like in a kernal/rom are:
Performance control / better battery life
Notification light activation and control
Status bar and navigation bar control. (hiding them, their colors, etc) I am already seeing very slight burn in from the navigation bar. My screen timeout is set to 30 seconds and my brightness is on auto.
I am rooted with TWRP recovery as stated above.
Any input, tips, tricks, recommendations about anything with the Nexus 6 would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

[GUIDE] Device Settings Menu | Part II - Sounds and vibrations, Notifications, Themes

Device Settings Menu Guide, Tips & Discussions
Part 2 - Sounds and vibration, Notifications, Wallpaper and themes​
If you're new to this series or want to see the index, please read the Introductory Post first.​
Sound and vibration
Vibrate while ringing: I have enabled it as in environments where ringtone is not loud enough, vibrations in my pocket helps me.
Ringtone: Set Ringtone for each of your SIMs. Tap Add to add music from your storage. Select 'Highlights only' to play only a specified part of the track and not necessarily from the beginning. This way you can make ringtones from the music track itself but anyways here are the best ringtones sites. The existing catalog in the device has few nature-inspired tones - I've set it to 'Friday'.
Vibration Pattern: Specifies vibration pattern for your Calls. Choose it to something by which you can easily differentiate your calls from a standard notification from the initial vibration itself. I've set it to 'Off-beat'.
Notification sounds: You can set customized notification for each app in app's settings itself so set this one as a default notification - something short that won't annoy you. My choice is 'Twinkle'.
Volume: Play with them to find what suits you. In my case, System (touch sounds, back button sounds, etc.) is zero while notifications on the lowest side. You can still control them by pressing volume rocker and then expanding the pop-up.
Vibration Intensity: If you get annoyed, like I do, by vibrations for every notification, set it to zero or alternatively set it to a lower level while tweaking individual app notification settings to allow/disallow vibrations. 'Touch interaction' is for on-screen touches while 'Hard press home button' is for the hard home button in Note9.
Use Volume keys for media: I never wanted to control ringtone with volume rockers. Must be enabled!
System sounds and vibration: Touch sounds; Screen lock sounds; Charging sounds; Vibration feedback; Dialling keypad tones; Keyboard sounds; Keyboard vibration; Touch vibration: I've set it off; on; on; on; off; off; off (I use SwiftKey); on.
Advanced sound settings > Sound quality and effects, Separate app sound:
Dolby Atmos: Read about it here. I've set it to Auto. You can easily toggle modes from the notification bar itself (move it to first page).
Equaliser: Play with it to decide what's best for you. Here is an Equaliser guide for you so that you can play with the Advanced mode as well.
UHQ upscaler: Bit-upscaling works best for me. Read a pro analysis on UHQ upscaling modes here.
Tube Amp Pro; Concert hall: They are disabled when using Dolby Atmos. I prefer Dolby Atmos over either of them.
Adapt Sound: Do try it! Add trying a new profile for each of your earphones or audio device and personalise sound. You can try existing profiles and toggling Clear or Soft sound preference.
Seperate app sound: Useful in cases where you don't want an app's sound to play on your default audio device. I have set 'App' to Chome/Facebook and Audio device to 'Phone' so that they don't accidently play on the connected device in case Bluetooth is left on.
Notifications
App icon badges: Useful though I use similar feature 'Notification badges' in Nova Launcher.
Do not disturb: You can schedule it though I recommend Tasker or IFTTT for scheduling stuff. Do explore Allow exception > Custom to enable 'Repeat callers', allowing calls/messages from specific group, allowing event/task/reminders. Customize DND so that your 3rd-party (scheduling) apps when enabling it enables your customized settings. Review 'App rules' when set by them. Allow or disallow LED or visual notifications when DND is enabled.
Status bar: Since I usually get a lot of notifications, I've disabled 'Show recent notifications only'. It's not a bad idea to get the actual percentage of battery level so enable 'Show battery percentage'.
LED indicator: Enable and then try apps like LightFlow (Pro) to define pro LED settings.
App Notifications: You can customize each App's notification here itself or can do this simply in that App's settings. I prefer customizing App settings when they arrive in the notification bar by holding the notification and tapping settings. This way, in some time, you'll make your app notifications fully customized for all of those that bother you. With Pie, you have now greater control of each app's notification. You can even customize notification subcategories of a particular app. Do check 'silent and minimized' mode that doesn't create a mess in your notification panel as well as minimizes the content by default with no sound. Do you need a separate guide to master this? Do tell. You can also refer to a good article here.
Advanced:
Allow or disallow lock screen notifications, DND exception and Importance. As above, I prefer doing this via app settings when needed.
Menu: 'Show system apps' for customizing notifications of the bloatware. 'Reset preference' in case you believe you have messed up with all your notifications or you need a fresh start.
Wallpaper and themes
It will route you to Samsung Themes. I use seperate icon and theme packs for Nova Launcher. I do use AOD packs from the Themes. Do explore this section on XDA itself. I'm going to develop some themes (preferably AOD skins) soon and will let you know. Learn how to develop yours here.
-- Reserved for FAQs --
Is it just me, or am I completely missing the point of this? You've gone to all the trouble of explaining in great detail, a series of self explanatory settings.
It reads more as a long list just of what you have all your settings on haha.

Assuming that you have read the Introductory Post, I'm really sorry if it didn't work for you. I had tried to make sure that I don't iterate self-explanatory things that's why I haven't copy-pasted the descriptions that comes with the device. While exploring all the settings, I had to google many of them - maybe not a pro user like you. That's the reason I decided to compile this.
No worries if this series fails for everyone (though I believe there would be a group of users that I'd be able to help in anyway - maybe non-XDA users). Even if it's a no-go, moderators are free to close this thread. I always wanted to document the settings and this will at least help me in the future.
Peace.

Keep up the good work, please, finish the entire series. :good:
This is a great idea, if one feels they don't need it, they can simply move on to the rest of the device forum.
If nothing else it's a more detailed/user-friendly version of the OEM User guide.

Really gives me motivation, sir. I had already compiled the full series before moving to XDA. Three of total five parts are already posted. I was bit demotivated that's why was hesitating to immediately post the remaining two. They'll be posted within an hour now.
Thanks.

This is something I think should be a part of every device forum,especially the more popular devices.
Perhaps approach the powers that be @ XDA with the idea,to have this sort of breakdown of the phone,in its own sub-section of a device forum,to go along with the 5-6 existing sub-sections.
Such a section would address a lot of questions people have regarding their devices.
Maybe XDA will offer you (& others) a position on their staff to take this up................... :good:

Thanks for identifying the long-term goal of mine. I always wanted a single discussion space for similar kind of queries. While exploring every other unfamiliar setting on the device, when I googled them, I saw a lot of similar threads even in same website like XDA. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll surely try.
I'm now done with all the five parts (here is the index). I surely need more criticism to improve but I'm sure this is the way to go. I have been a pro mobile user since 2012 and I can bet on that most of the users have never explored even the basic settings in their devices. Even if I help a dozen of them, this is my success.
Thanks for supporting. Let's see how this works.

I'm really sorry for disappointing you. It would be nicer if you could tell me how to improve the content. Coming to your 'Why' part, I think I have already explained it in the Introductory Post as well as included the message in top of every part.
I had already gone through the User Manual before I decided to compile this. User Manual has over 300 pages and it's too descriptive. It's feasible for a step-by-step process of a specific feature with even describing every button click and combination. I've summarized every single one of them in 5 parts. No one is going to read the manual in one go but I was able to fresh start my device in few minutes by going through my documentation. This may be a bad idea but as @KOLIOSIS says, I also think that this should be a basic part of each device's forum.
If manual could answer everything, why are there multiple QAs on XDA with similar queries like these:
samsung pay fingerprint section greyed out
wifi power saving mode
phone visibility
bluetooth low energy
seperate app sound
These are only few ones which I have just find out by going through first 2 parts and picking up any settings randomly. And I have filtered out results from XDA only.
