[APP] Auto shutdown app

I am working on an application which will shut down my sons media player only captivate at a specific time. I have it working but am not particularly good at drawing or coming up with good ideas for an icon for it.
Does anybody have any ideas?
AutoShutdown.apk
FYI I built it for 2.2 but tested it on 2.3 (my captivate) and it requires root access (it essentially creates a service that at a specific time calls "reboot -p".
Update Info:
1.10 Changed to using an Alarm.
1.5 Moved the Save button to the bottom.
1.4 Revamped to use a Handler instead of a thread thus reducing the overhead because I am not checking the time every 45 seconds, I just delay the shutdown for however many milliseconds it would take to get to the requested time.
1.3 Fixed the not shutting down issue (at least under 2.3, I will test on 2.2 tonight). Added alpha channel to the icon.
1.2 Added simple icon
1.1 Added an Enabled checkbox. Setting the shown time to the last time entered. Fixed killing the old thread.
1.0 Basically worked with whatever the last time you entered

Well this worked in testing via the debugger but for some reason my sons phone isn't turning off...
1.3 fixes this problem. I was being a bit too aggressive on waiting for a thread to end.

I have found that 2.2's reboot command does not accept the -p parameter which means that this will not work. If some one has another method I would be more than happy to add it in.

Only tested to work on 2.3, primarily under Fusion XII. Its been working fine for me.

very cool idea., any idea if it'll work on ICS?

No clue since i don't have a device with ICS.

can i use in motorola milestone or other device ?

I'd suggest a power icon with clock hands on it as the icon. If you want I could make a quick one for you.

I have no clue but you can try. It's all based on the reboot executable

That would be neat. My wife made that one up pretty quickly.

I have just verified that the code still works under Android 4.2.2.

cron4phone app, free on google play, does same, and also lets you vary schedule by day, etc, and schedule many other tasks as well. you do need root for it to work.

Good to know. I had originally made it for my sons phone.

Hello kevria,
Are you still working on this project? I have a couple of suggestions.

I havent been but I still have the source code so could modify it as needed. I also havent had a reason to use this since my son's android device died.

My condolences
Well, I can't find a countdown shutdown app anywhere, was wondering if you could make do so.
Not on a specific time, but like 1 Hour or 10 minutes count down.
Hope you will be interested :fingers-crossed:

I will see if I can get the source to build and make the change. Im pretty sure I had it calculating out the amount of time from now until the shutdown time so it should be simple to modify the code.

The app isnt building due to a xml error that I will have to track down when I have time. You could use the app as is and figure out what 1.5 hours from now is...

Hello try creating a shortcut on your home screen, go to the application manager.

I have lost the source code to this app so I won't be able to make any changes.

[Q] SCH-i800 [Phone Enable]

I really hate to start this back up about enabling phone support on sch-i800. But the lack of post/info about it is very annoying. We know that hardware is there to make it work. But how far is the software limiting us on this fact? I myself have mine on a voice plan with Page Plus and could in theory make call's if I can get the tab to support it. I have made it as far to get the Tab it self activated and programmed onto Page Plus, and Framework-res.apk edit for the dialer to show. But when it trys to call out it just shut's the call down and I'm back at the dialer. If anyone could shed a little light my way I would be grateful. Anymore apk's i should edit? more in the framework somewhere? Any info guys ? I have full service and 3g perfect on this thing.
CM10 with dialer from framework edit.
sch-i800
Page Plus

Hey Haxz...I grabbed just a 3rd party dialer..and it tries to make a call..and closes...I was wondering if you ever found a way in to Diag Mode on CM10 so edits can be done such as web settings and prl updates with qpst...I have mine running Cricket...Thanks..

Actually I was able to get into diag mode using a command line in terminal emulator. Looks like original post was by autoprime I think, so thanks to him. This line worked for me. echo MODEM USB > /sys/class/sec/switch/usb_sel. I was running cm9 roms also.

I found 2 scripts in the Sprint section that click click and you can switch between PDA and Modem..But one thing....I can get web settings to work under GB but no ICS/Jelly Bean Roms will work with Data period..I have re-checked the settings dozens of times..and nothing...One thing just in case you need the info...To change APN settings...I had to use the Sprint modem file...If you try to write in qpst with the Verizon modem file the settings won't take..Thanks for the response on it...

This thread is a few months old but I wanted to post that apparently the trick to getting voice back is to replace the modem.bin from a samsung fascinate because it's the same dialer hardware.
I haven't done this as it's beyond my abilities but I've read it elsewhere.
If anyone successfully tests this, perhaps they can make a clockworkmod zip file that we can flash over cm10.1

Root Call Blocker/ Call Master - need testers please

Hi guys. Im one of the devs who make RCB and CM. We recently released an update that was supposed to fix issues blocking and otherwise managing calls on the newer xperia phones.
However im getting conflicting feedback. Please be so kind as to download the apps and test their blocking functionality by doing the following:
1. Add another mobile number to a blocking list
2. Call yourself from that number, write down result
3. SMS yourself from that number, write down result
Post here or find the settings item (its the same in both apps) that says "Write to us" and send logs with a description like "XDA XPERIA TEST". Be sure to say what actually happened.
We had to fix this issue using decompiled firmware so theres no guarantee. And of course theres some people saying it was fixed and some saying it wasnt. Some say that its been fixed in JB but is now broken in ICS, so mention what version of android youre running.
Call Master (completely free): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.blacklist
RCB (trial): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.rootcallblocker.beta
Thanks in advance!!!

I can only write the same as in call master thread, I have Xperia V, currently on JB 4.2.1, CM 10.1, both call master and rcb works for me without any problems, i do not have reflashed stock today, but yesterday call master was ok on LT25i_9.0.1.D.0.10 firmware

Can anyone else please confirm this?

Worked fine on Xperia V 9.0.1.D.0.10. Stock based ROM.
Added a number to the block list
Rang my phone from the blocked number.
Icon appeared and blocked the call successfully (there was a single hint of vibration)
Seems to work fine

Thanks, but I'm not up on the stock ROM builds.... Is that ICS or job?

How much memory should CM be using?

It all depends on what kind of settings youre using. Also, it depends if youve recently been viewing logs but its not a lot. On my phone right now with about 30 managed contacts its using 18 MB. But actual use is probably 10 or so, depending on things like the size of your logs, the pages in the app you have recently opened and so on.
Remember, every activity you dont close will be cached by android, so if you for example keep entering the app then pressing home you will be adding a little. Do it 5 times and there will be a bit more. But this is cache, not memory use.
The automatic memory manager will flush caches if it needs more memory - if it has lots, apps will keep adding to the caches forever. Its unfortunate that many people have no idea how this works, they just assume that its a problem.

Works perfectly now thanks!

It is now fixed. Perfect app (root blocker).

I actually like Call Master more, its by the same devs. More granular you know...

It works always.

Rooted JB (489) / Xperia T here: CallMaster works flawlessly

I apology my poor english.
I bought 'Call Master' last year.
Phone model : IM-T100K
When i used Gingerbread it worked perfectly.
But after upgrade to ICS 4.0.4, sms blocked well, call does not blocked at all.

[Q] Working Screen Recorder

Hey guys Dave Here,
I'm trying to find a Screen Recorder that works for the Sprint HTC One. All of the apps I've tried that are free on the play store are not working for my phone. I can give more details about my run and so forth but I've done it on a different roms and versions of android to still have the same issues. If you know of a fix or an app that you use please let me know. Thanks for your help.

SCR Screen Recorder Free - gives me an error 139 (I think) each time I ran it. I've changed every setting I could and if it didn't give me that error it gave me another.
Screen Recorder Trial - It would save it in a format that was unable to view on the device or my windows 8 laptop (says its mp4)
Z screen recorder - Does record but the video is very very blurry with multiple colors and no options to adjust it.

So is it just me or are others having the same issue with their HTC one?

Screen cast worked on my HTC One..Never tried it since the 4.3 update because i moved on to a different device.
i believe i had to Make sure HW Overlay is disabled and "Force GPU Rendering" is enabled from the device's developer options menu

Hidden fetures

every since I found out about the hidden call recorder and hidden download booster I can't help but think, is there more fetures AT&T Is hiding from us? I have been doing a lot of research on the subject and to my surprise I can't find anything about hidden fetures on the gs5 even when making spacific searches about "unlocking hidden fetures with root access" I can't find one single thing... does anyone here know of any unlockable hidden fetures on the gs5 other than the above mentioned? I'm fairly new to the whole root scene but have become addicted to searching through code just to see if I can find something I can change on my phone (yes I know this is risky but i have back up phones and I back up everything before changing anything) anyway any info anyone could give me about unlockable fetures or things I should try in general would be much appreciated. . Thanks in advance

How to enable call recording and download booster in hidden menu ?

For starters neither me nor the person that gave the directions are responsible if you brick your device or end up with system errors or unstable system in general....
XDA won't let me post the link to the call recorder because I am a new member here.... so you will have to do a Google search on enabling the hidden call record on the s5...
To enable download booster this is what I did download nova launcher start nova launcher long press home screen click shortcuts click activities scroll down untill you see settings click that scroll down until you see download booster click it.. it will put a shortcut on the nova launchers home screen for download booster click it activate enjoy...
I can't take credit for either set of directions as I am not the one who discovered it I can't remember who I got the download booster intrusions from but it was on the XDA site.. the other I found just by down research....

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Free mobile app

Not sure what to tell you... do some research... that's what I do.... the booster uses wifi and service providers internet to boost downloads OVER 30MB so if you are not connected to wifi and the download is not over 30MB in size it's not going to do anything..

I've had my s5 for a couple months now and here's some pretty cool tricks/ tips I've come across:
(I am not to blame for a bricked phone; processed with common sense and at your own risk)
- Adding new toggles
- Changing the notification panel icons from circles to squares by editing your build.prop "ro.product.device" and "ro.product.name" From "klteatt" to "jflteatt"(s4 notification panel and recent apps?)
- Have not tested this... Adding quick connect and s finder button to notification panel by changing "ro.product.device" and "ro.product.name" to "kltetmo "
- Have not tested this... Att has limited the cloud backup and restoring function of this phone so you can not backup and restore useful data such as mms, sms and call logs(?) I was able to bypass this by uninstalling the stock samsung account app and installing a new one.(Will try to upload apk I used if not just google)
- $tt has also crippled the stock my files and gallery app so you cant use the Dropbox function on either app(probably so you'll use their cloud service). Haven't found a work around but flashing to a t mobile rom will have the feature enabled on both apps.
- tip - Save time managing your files by using multi window mode with 2 my files app open, you can drag selected content from one screen to the other screen to save time.
Hope I helped someone

Thanks dude I'll be checking these out! Any custom roms you recommend for a noob? I already have safestrap and have backed up everything ready to start flashing just not sure where to start.....

I'm using a mostly stock t-mobile based rom it might not be loaded with features but it's stable. I've tried dynamic kat but the battery was draining too much in standby even when I tried disabling a lot of features and apps.

I've been running Dynamic Kat for a few months ( pretty much since it was released ) I loved it and had great battery life. It would last anywhere from 1.5 - 2 days. I'm now running alliance rom. I ran it about a week ago and the battery want very impressive so I went back to Dynamic Kat, but got bored today so I flashed back to alliance and disabled a few more things and greenified alot of stuff so I'll see how it works now

Thanks for all the info keep them coming! I'm downloading visix at the moment and will download these others as soon as I get a chance

I've had the download booster working on my phone. I can assure you, that all that nova launcher does is unhides the feature. It does not unlock it or make it work. There is a thread around here as to how to make the download booster work, but the fix is kind of unstable and works best on firmware G900AUCU1ANCE. It will break private mode, and on another firmware, has a tendency to break the camera and the gps. I don't know if it works at all on the most recent update. I'm on the one in between, G900AUCU2AND3. I could go back, but I prefer to keep the Reactivation lock over the download booster.

Fair enough I just now tested it out and your right it don't work witch sucks.. when I first unlocked it using nova I had nothing over 30mb to test it on nor do I have WiFi at my house so I had to wait to go to my bro-in-laws just to test it looks like I'll be doing more research on this.... I am still looking to test out other roms so anyone that has any suggestions on good roms to try out let me know I'm currently running visix witch is pretty awesome by the way
