[Android 2.2+] Multi Toggle Widget

Dear users,
Considering all 3C apps are now based on the same source code, they all behave the same way, and will exhibit the same issues. Any queries will also likely applies to all apps.
To make my life easier while continuing to provide support here (and start with a clean slate), I decided to close all my app threads and open a fresh new thread here.
With your continuous help and support, the past 4 years have been a great adventure and experience. Let's take a fresh start and continue this amazing adventure.
Thank you all!

Hi,
I bought this app and gave it a try since it is the only one I found with REAL background data management capabilities. So, this is a great beginning, although the app is not completely useful to me. I was looking for an automatic background data toggle following WiFi status, I mean, turn on bg data when WiFi is on and turn it off at WiFi shutdown. I know this is just a manual toggle, but I was wondering if I can use the toggle along with any profiler (like Tasker, Setting Profiles, etc). This way, I could set up a rule that triggers on WiFi On/Off and changes bg data status using your widget. Unfortunately, this cannot be done as there is no 'activity' to be associated to under Multi Toggle activities node. So, my suggestion is that you expose any public activity to toggle bg data, so it can be used when setting up rules from any profiler. Of course you can also develop an app to auto turn on/off bg data on wifi on/off... ... a lot of people is waiting for that since bg data has sense when wifi is on in most of the cases. Otherwise, it will drain battery.
Another suggestion, please make an easy way to uninstall when installed as system app (restore to user app or something... just to avoid a manual removal from /system/app).
Thanks!

Thanks for your comment and support.
I will try to add an 'uninstall' procedure... Indeed it will make it much easier for me too
For the public activity, I will see to it too, though I'm not sure it's really recommended, the power-widget has been doing that until 2.3.3 and it was reported as a security hole... Would be nice though.
Just wondering something about activities, in Tasker (or similar app) can you manually specify the package, the class and the parameters? If so, even if it's not public, you might be able to do it!
Don't have the info at hand, but will update this post asap.

I haven't downloaded this app yet, but I found it because it claims to control the background data toggle via a widget. Just to confirm that we're talking about "background data" and not just "auto-sync," correct? On my DROID 2 this option is: settings -> data manager -> data delivery -> Background data.
Any updates on reverting from the system application install? I need to be able to return this phone to pre-root status.
I've found that "auto-sync" only applies to google accounts: gmail, gmail contacts and google calendar on the DROID 2. My primary email is an IMAP account and I'd prefer not to receive these notifications (and ones from other aps) during the evening hours.
My phone also likes to stop syncing randomly, and toggling background data corrects the problem. Going through the maze of settings is just too annoying to be toggling this option on a regular basis.

Also, this thread belongs in the Paid Software Announcement and Discussion forums. By posting here you are gaining an unfair advantage!

Hello and thanks for your interest in this app.
Yes it indeed controls background data, you should see the corresponding setting being actually changed!
And yes it needs to be installed as system app for a number of toggles to work, which is only possible on rooted phones, which luckily is your case! System apps have more rights than user-apps and a number of settings cannot be changed by user apps at all no matter what! Even using su/root feature can't help!
Note that the app will do it for you from the settings. There is no automatic way to move the app back to a user app, yet.
What you can do is try the app for a few minutes to see if it works well for you. Should you have any issues don't hesitate to contact me. You have 15 minutes to try it or get an immediate refund from Google, but I can still cancel the order at any time which will get you a full refund.
PS: I noticed 2 behaviors when installing as system app, either the settings window disappears, then no reboot is necessary, the app is installed in system folder and ready for use. Or the app says it succeeded (or failed) and the settings windows remains open. In this case I noticed it's always installed as system app, but it requires rebooting the phone. Still working on that.

I didn't know about this forum I'm very sorry for this mistake! Any ways to move the thread there?
At the time of creation, I tried contacting a moderator, but not sure it's my browser/computer (tried with Chrome and IE) but could reach the page to find who's moderator.
Anyway, no excuses, will try to contact a moderator asap.

I tried to quickly change my original post thinking that you wouldn't respond so quickly. I spotted the screenshots that clearly show the option to install as a system app, which answered my question.

Any idea when you will implement this? As my edited message above now says, I need the ability to return this phone to pre-root status. How difficult is manually uninstalling a system app like yours? Pardon my ignorance, but I'm only rooted for a specific un-related reason, so I haven't played around in the rooted world much.

You know what? Just published an update that will do it!
Note it will require a reboot and all existing widgets must be replaced after!
Can you please report how it works for you?

Hi,
Gave it a whirl and it seemed to work. Unfortunately, I tried your new "uninstall from system" options and it wound up uninstalling the entire application from my DROID 2. I'll get it back on there when I have some more time to play with it. Just be aware that it does a little more than uninstalling from system.
Is this greyed out heading "(System) Toggles" supposed to stay greyed out once it's installed as a system application? The only indication that a system install was in effect was that the option to install as a system application now said uninstall.
You may want to leave some time for a user to grant su permissions when installing as a system application. I've seen this on other apps. It took a couple tries to be quick enough to allow your app permissions before it reported that it didn't have them.

Well, that's why I initially left this out, because uninstall from system is not as easy as installing to system! I'll try to improve it by moving the app back to user space instead, but then users might end-up with multiple installs... Quite tricky.

This is just informative as I want to make sure users understand how system (or power-widget-based) toggles do work (or do not work)...

I indeed noted that sometimes it failed after being granted su permissions... Note sure how to permanently solve this, but I'll try to put a delay before launching further commands under su process to see if it improves.
Wish it was easier to test it, but unfortunately it often requires rebooting the phone!!!

What does "synchro (system)" control? I figure what the "synchro (power)" version does, but system? Seems to disable background data, but what else?

Actually it controls both background data and auto-sync, enabling or disabling both. It disables both only when both are enabled.

Yeah, I can see what you mean.
Your widget successfully causes the background data checkbox to toggle. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for my needs, however:

Unchecking background data with your widget still does not stop the IMAP emails from coming through, nor does it correct the syncing problem like toggling the option directly does. The phone seems to know that background data is off (as tested by attempting to start the Market), but it doesn't have the same effect. Only thing I noticed is that toggling background data off with your widget leaves a popup asking you to confirm if you go through the system settings and look at the checkbox. Perhaps the setting doesn't take full effect until a user acknowledges this box, which your widget currently does not do. Not sure if that's even possible.

Background data option (in settings or elsewhere) is a settings that can be checked by application, but it doesn't actually prevent any app from using data connections in the background (the warning message when disabling it).
Your IMAP app probably doesn't care about this particular setting.
On 3 phones I tested using the toggle never brought the warning message, even when opening the settings for that option!? On the other hand the warning/confirmation message is always shown when enabling WIFI localization.
Looks like a ROM's bug?

....looks great~ got to try this .

brightness toggle
hi
is there a way to control the brightness levels for each state of the brightness toggle icon?
all in all nice widget tho!

Can;t install app as system
I recently bought your app but I'm having trouble installing it as a system app. Everything seems to work fine when I try to install it, I rebbot my phone, but after reboot the app is still an "user app" and the system toggles dont work...
Could you help me please? Because I'd really love to be abble to use the system toggles (specially the one to toggle System Location).
Thank you
(I,m running CM10.1 btw)

This feature requires a rooted device as explained in app description: "10 System toggles (requires rooted phones to install app to system)"
Are you sure your device is rooted as you mentioned in your PM your /data directory is empty I suspect it's not.

Hi, this is a great app but it won't turn off the location (system) after turn on.
I have to manually go settings > google > untick everything.

Enable tethering

This is kinda the same as the Atrix, not sure who posted this but the steps for enableing tethering are pretty much the same.
1. Root
2. Install SQLite Editor
3. Under Settings Storage select Settings.db
4. Select secure
5. Mine is line 147 yours might be different (tether_entitlement_check_state) change value from 1 to 0 (Zero)
6. back out of SQLite till at home screen
tethering should now be working I have had some problems with restarting and having to go back in and change this setting back to 0, still trying to locate the problem but havent really had time to do so.
option 2
NO Root needed!!!
1. Download any cut from market
2. Open and select activity then select hidden menu this will give you all of the hidden menu options or you can just select connectivity test.
3. Open new shortcut and unselect entitlement.
tether will now be working but once again you will have to go back into the settings and reunselect this option if you reboot.
this way does not dissable the renableing of the entitlement still working on that.

Cool, thanks dude i didnt want to have to wait for a rom.

thanks man

Which one would be the best from the market? I did it for my Captivate oh do many months ago but I can't remember which one I used and on my Dell I never needed to do anything.

option 2 is a little easier, specially is you reboot often.

Sqlite only worked once for me. Once I rebooted my phone, it wouldn't work again no matter if I went and changed the field back to 0 and backed out or just pressed home key. It automatically changes back to a 1 when trying to hit usb tethering or hotspot wifi. Then go back and change it to a 0 and it switches it back to a 1 when I try and tether. KInda disapointed I spent the money on this app for this one purpose and now it's past the refund time.

I have been having more luck with option 2 using sqlite does have some problems this way it actually dissables the entitlement through a native app.

Option 2 let me turn on the Mobile AP but I have yet to test it.
I also discovered that if you try to turn on the Mobile AP using an app like Widgetsoid it reboots the phone! I'm hesitant to use widgetsoid for that function now.

What apps
Which apps should I download from marketplace? I'm new to android, haven't done anything rom related since 6.5 windows was barely released

Follow option 2 more reliable from my experience. And no paid apps required.

What do they mean?

"any cut" is the name of the App that you can DL from the market.

I've been looking everywhere for this with no luck. Had I realized I couldn't bluetooth tether I probably would have waited for a different phone. Hopefully CM7 will be released soon-ish and support it.

Am I missing something? I just got my Thrill 2 days ago so I was not sure about tethering and all that because I have not had time to play with it. I just went to "Wireless and Network Settings", and its listed right there under "Bluetooth Settings".
It says; "Tethering & Portable Hotspot". Maybe I just got lucky but I checked the box with it hooked to my computer and I am tethered.

#1 Worked perfectly. Thank you very much!!

is entitlement under one of the other options? been looking still cant find it,

can you be more specific on the step by step process in option 2...sorry I'm kinda a newb but I would really appreciate it... if you could..I downloaded any cut but after that im kinda lost...i get new shortcut or edit shortcut in the app...dont see "activity"

you will need to select new short cuts.

OMG, thank you. Option 2 couldn't be easier. I don't plan on installing any custom roms or anything so this is perfect for me. "quotations" would have helped the n00bs understand the instructions better but I consider myself extremely n00bish when it comes to Android and I understood it. Thanks mucho.

thanks, option 2 works perfectly for LG Thrill!

Working US Internet Tethering

Hey guys, long time lurker here. I just got finished tinkering around with my galaxy gear over the last 2 days (got it for xmas =)) and I figured out a way to get internet tethering working on a non rooted stock note 3. I will post a quick guide shortly. I'm not very good at writing them and I am assuming you know how to root and install/sideload apps by yourself either with wondershare or adb commands. Will be up shortly =)

I used EasyTether for this as I had purchased it awhile ago and they had a bluetooth tablet app that I could use. I have not tried this with PDANet/FoxFi but I am pretty sure it should work as it is a similar setup.
-- Setting Up
0. Plug your galaxy gear into the cradle and you should be running Null rom and have usb debugging/unknown sources enabled...
1. Start by downloading the reverse usb tethering app from xda
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371345
2. Use WonderShare or adb push to install
HackConnectivityService.apk
installed.apk
3. Open the newly installed "USB Tunnel" app on your galaxy gear
4. Start up AndroidTool.exe on your pc and hit the connect button
5. After about 20 seconds your gear should prompt for a superuser access screen. Go ahead and hit ok or grant access
6. After the connection is made you should now be able to open the google play store and sign into your gmail account. If google account manager crashes, continue on to the next step and try again after step 11.
7. On your galaxy gear goto the regular android settings screen and click on the Xposed section. Click on framework and go ahead and update/install the framework and reboot the galaxy gear.
8. With the galaxy gear now rebooted, go into the android settings -> xposed -> and this time hit the modules button. Scroll down and click on the hackconnectivity application. With that app now enabled go ahead and reboot the galaxy gear again. (not sure if necessary but I think I recall it saying it has to be rebooted)
9. With the gear now properly setup return to the android settings -> xposed -> modules -> hackconnectivity and click on the WIFI button.
10. Your galaxy gear will now assume its internet connection will always be wifi even if connected via usb or bluetooth
11. You should be now able to sign into your gmail account by click on the playstore icon if you were not able to before.
-- Getting Tethering Working
12. Using either the PlayStore or sideloading the Amazon Appstore - download Easytether on your phone - and on your galaxy gear install the Easytether Tablet application.
13. Open the Easytether application on your phone and and select Bluetooth Tethering
14. On your galaxy gear open the EasyTether Tablet app and select your phone from the list of devices on the bottom of the screen. After the connection is established your galaxy gear should now be online with bluetooth and feel free to remove it from the charing cradle.
15. I was able to install Netflix on my watch, login, and start an episode of Star Trek while I was writing this for you guys. I hope this gets you guys online with your watches! =)

I will have to check this out and let ya know if I can get it to work. I switched to an international rom just to get native Bluetooth tethering. This will be a nice option for others that don't have a working solution
Nice work and write up.

This is a nice work around ! Although you should simply only have to load the xposed module & activate tethering by what ever means you choose. A few of these steps are not required.
I think I might include this xposed module by default in my rom to save you guys the hassle. If this is confirmed working someone please send me a PM and I will include it by default.

Doesn't seem to work after reboot.

Confirmed working. I installed the HackConnectivityService.apk, then installed PdaNet Tablet, then installed PdaNet+ on phone. Activated HackConnecticityService in xposed. Then rebooted.
Activated and connected PdaNet on both devices. Opened Browser, browser worked. Then opened Google play tryed to connect. "Google Play crashed" (That is what was expected) Then enabled HackConnectivity in the app settings to Wifi. Re atempted connecting with "Google Play" I was able to setup and login.
Nice work, but yes less steps worked. :good:
@fOmey - This would be a wonderful addition to Null_ US users could now use Google Play. And PdaNet+ is free So the original way of getting Bluetooth works, we were just missing this xposed plugin.

Is there any way to do this with the gear running the stock rom?

Have not tested this but, You should be able to. Just install xposed and HackConnectivityService and then install what ever connecting software you perfer. PdaNet is free, I would recommend that to start with.

when i tick the PdaNet+ "Activate BT Service" i get an alert " Internet not detected on your phone. Please make sure you have good data service and try again" it happens every time so i cant get past this part to try and connect to N3.
any thoughts?
thanks

On your phone open PdaNet+ check "Activate Bluetooth Server" Say Yes to making your phone visible.
On your Gear open PdaNet Tablet click "Configure" then click "Android Bluetooth" Click "Tap here to start scanning.." You should see your phone's's name appear, Click on it, That should bring you back to the main PdaNet screen on the Gear. Then if you look at the bottom you should see part of a button, just a small part. Click on it. Sometimes it's hard to do so, but just keep trying you'll click it. once click you should see PdaNet is connected!
So if you can't get past the phone portion with PdaNet+, try disabling your WiFi and see if that works. Try opening a web page and make sure you have internet access.

On your phone try disabling your WiFi, try opening a web page and make sure you have internet access. If you do then on your Phone Open Pdanet+ and see if you can select "Activate Bluetooth Server" if you can, then go back into your gear, PdaNet Tablet and try to reconnect them, once your done reconnecting them then try clicking that hidden button. (Alternatively you can try open the browser on your gear instead and see if a web page opens.

Really odd. Not sure what is causing the issue. Check out Google play there are other options available instead of PdaNet. (not that I dont want to continue to help ya, just not sure where to go from here for ya other than that.)
(Also don't want to hijack this thread. Sorry Man)

thanks for the help and if the point of the thread is to get tethering working then i feel that is what we are discussing and should help all of us

I know the steps are reducible but I just wanted to give everyone the best chance of success doing this. Glad I could help you all out. I was kinda rushing writing because I was excited I could help and I had to write it before my lady got home and would yell at me for tinkering around and not watching a movie with her . Cheers

[APP][4.3+] Seebye Xperitions

Hey folks,
I just want to show you my new app.
It allows you to
turn off your display while it's locked by a double tap
turn off your screen by a double tap on your status bar
open another app instead of What's New (home button swipe up gesture)
If you want to read more go to the official app thread.

Works great! Thank you sir.

@RocketSauce83
Why do you want it as a Xposed Module?
The problem with Xposed and Root is the lower amount of reachable users.
(And the bad ratings from .... (I speak from the experience of my other apps))
Also the app has the possibility to work without changing the system,
so I don't get it why you want it as a Xposed Module.

I tried that features - replace what's up - but nope, won't work.
I removed what's up from system weeks ago, is that what's causing problems?

@funky0308 Yeah, that's a problem.
The app is focused on users without rooted devices.
This function checks if what's new is at the front.
If yes it starts the selected app.
So it uses a small trick to customise the function.

So it doesn't work if we have root? When I open the app, I only see Facebook and Twitter then when I click Facebook nothing happens?

Nope, it should also work if your phone is rooted.
I just said that you can't "replace" What's New with my app if you uninstalled it.

[Q] Where is the smart manager???

The application is there, but no way to access it

same issue no smart manager
I'm having the same issue is installed on my phone but no icon to launch it

Why is this happening to my phone? this glitch happens in chrome too when im scrolling horizontally through images

someone should really explain this

Same issue on my Verizon S6. I feel dumb that I have spent 30 minutes trying to access this app.

Same here. Why cant we do download booster as well? Carrier killing a good phone.

Found it. You have to put the usage manager widget on the home screen then click on battery and it will take you to the usage manager.

The usage manager is not the same thing as the smart manager.

360 security app from playstore does the same thing.

hmmm I see that the app is on the phone, maybe someone can tell us how to unhide an app as it seems to of been Hidden rather than removed for some reason by Verizon and ATT.
ooooh, I think I see why ATT and Verizon Hid this app. It is installed at Ring 0 , Same level as Knox. Hmmm wonder if we found our Exploit Point of access for Root.

What do you mean it's installed at Ring 0? How can you see that information?

This is more a windows referance but a program that operates at ring 0 has full operation permissions that allow it to modify read/right code that effects base operation of the device. In otherwords Root access without user permission. If you open up the Application manager, Settings>systems>Storage>used space>Applications. Then scroll Down and press on the app it shows you the App info, usually used to Force stop or Unistall manually as you'll notice most Bloatware Unistall command is greyed out and doesn't work.
But anyways if you scroll down, It'll show you Permissions the App has and is allowed to do, and a nice little note by Samsung telling you this app works at administration level at the same level as Knox and a reason being so it doesn't use a lot of memory. Basically the Smart Manager App has Permissions to pretty much do everything on the phone.
Ps. Looking over the apps I decided to look at Usage Manager the app that att seems to have replaced it with. and it has no where near the Permission level that Smart Manager has. So it seems ATT did not like that app and used theres instead. with them Bootloader locking and Root locking the Device, I Wonder why.

I was looking at the feature.XML and there is a thing in there that has disable smart manager/ disable anti malware set to true...of course without root we can't change that line to see if that bring access to it back

Should I be able to view the main folder like this? I'm using root explorer btw
Edit: not sure if pictures posted, but using root explorer, I can view the main folder and almost all system folders. In system/app there are quite a few apps that have permissions like smart manager. I was surprised to see the permissions on the kiosk app.

yah its really mind boggling the permisions these simple apps have. guess when something is installed at root level in factory they just give em all permissions and hit next.

Can USB debugging be used to maybe change one of these apps and push it back? I figure you can't because it's r/o, but there are a lot of other high level folders that are r/w
