I used to turn wi-fi on/off by tapping on the "network" indicator(usually a G sometimes U) located at the top if the screen left of the signal stregth and tapping on the Wi-Fi:Off when the little ballon popped open. I installed HTweakC and now instead of W-Fi:Off/On it say's "Wireless Manager" How do I get the On/Off button back under the notification. The same is true when I tap the signal strength icon. Where it used to say "Turn on Flight mode" it now says "wireless manager" How do I get the "Flight mode" option back.
I tried uninstalling HTweakC and to no avial.
Thx
Joe
Been looking all over with no answer.....anybody help me out.
I tried all the settings in HTweakC and even un installed it, and that wireless manager option is still there, so it either is a rom feature or a registry setting.

Two things I'd rather not mess with...guess I need to hard reset and reinstall everything....
I finally did a hard reset and restored everything from scratch. Then I found the correct registry setting right here in the Hermes Wiki in the "Show Network Operator Name in today screen" If you "Enable clicking on the today plugin above open Comm Manager" it also changes the settings for the icons at the top of the screen. Guess you can't have it both ways. I really like turing on WiFi from the top Icons instead of going into the com manager every time. Oh well, least I found where the problem was.
I am hoping, nay, praying, that the above solution works on my newly upgraded Windows Mobile 6 xda. It's the one thing that's driving me round the bend; I hate having to go into the wireless manager every time I want to connect or disconnect wifi.
Many thanks for finding this!!!

Just slide the keyboard open so the bottom row is visible, hold the alt key (the coloured dot at the bottom left corner of the keypad, if you're holding the phone as you would if the keyboard was fully out) and press the OK button - that'll enable/disable the wifi.
I never use the Comm Manager for enabling or disabling wifi when hardware buttons do the job very nicely!
I was reseting my Epic and was presented with a surprise dialog box that allowed me to choose the non-TouchWiz home screen. It was one of those "what do you want to use to complete this action" type prompts. I don't really know what I did to get it because it doesn't happen normally. It was either that I was touching one of the soft buttons at the right time or that I unlocked the home-screen as soon as I possibly could.
I ended up with three home-screens and the pullout application drawer. Also when I touch and held on the home-screen, the Samsung widgets were not available.
I just thought I'd share.
Did you install LauncerPro or something similar? That's exactly what happens when you install a new launcher frontend and the Epic doesn't have a default home-screen.
Samsung widgets are not available on LauncherPro, but there are comparable/better ones available on the market, too.
Yea. Phone comes with just a" home". Go to settings,applications,manage applications and find twlauncher. Select clear defaults. Hit the home button and then u can select the basic launcher.

@nmezib - nope, I just did a factory reset so there was nothing nonstandard installed.
@sultan - That's it, very cool.
What your seeing there is the stock Android launcher. This is what ADW is based on. You can go and clear the cache of TouchWiz in Appmanager and it will prompt you with that dialog again.
Hi Guys
Over the last couple of days I've been having problems with my screen jumping a little bit when i either close an app (with the exception of chrome) to return to the home screen or if I'm in the settings and i go back a page (it jumps every time i go pack a page).
If leave the phone in sleep mode for a while, when i unlock it everything works ok for the first 5-10 seconds and then it goes back to jumping if i close an app....etc
I've been doing a bit of googling (is that a word....lol) and there's a few people with the problem but i cant find any fixes.
I'm guessing that it could be that something on the motherboard has overheated but this is just a guess.
If anyone has any ideas then please let me know ?
Also I've found a temporary cure for when it happens when i close an app by installing nova launcher and going into the “look and feel” settings and enabling “slide Up” under the “App Animation” setting.
But does anyone know of an app that will allow me to change the transition effects of windows ?
Thanks guys

you've said that you have nova launcher installed...
nova settings > desktop > scroll effect (premium version offers more transition effects)
also, go to device settings > developer tools > and set animation scales to 0.5 instead of 1
if you don't have developer options under device settings, do the following:
1. open settings menu
2. go in "about phone" submenu
3. there go in "software information" submenu
4. click 7 to 8 times quickly on "build number"
5. developer tools should now be showing just above the "about phone” in settings
DO NOT change anything else there besides that animation scale values
Thanks for the reply
Yes i have nova installed and i have it set on cube but thats just for the home screen.
What i need is an app that will let me change other screens.
For example the screens in settings.
The strange thing is that the screen only seems to jump when im going back (i think its the zoom out effect).
Ive just found an app called xuimod that u think has the oprion i need.
Ill post back if it works
Well guys....
It turns out i can do everything with xuimod so i dont even need to keep nova.
But i dont think this fix is going to last if the jumping gets worse.
So is there any known fix for the jumpy screen ?
Anyone ?
Its like a VERY mild form of whats happening to this guys phone:
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kO20q9aHTls
Hi I just got a Nexus 6p and its been great but I have low vision and if I keep the option turned on the phone, it becomes very laggy so I would like to only use it when I need to.
Help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you .
This isn't exactly what you wanted, but it's kind of close...
I use ADW as my launcher, which allows me to set custom shortcuts on my home screen. Other launchers might offer the same functionality.
I long pressed on my home screen and selected the Add tab on the popup. I then tapped Custom Shortcut, and tapped "Pick your activity." Next, I tapped Activities, scrolled down to Settings and expanded the list. It's rather long, but in that list there is one called "Accessibility(.Settings$AccessibilitySettingsActivity)". I selected that one, gave it a name (what it displays under the icon), and pressed OK. This created a settings gear icon on my home screen that when tapped goes straight to the accessibility options in the settings menu, and then you can tap the toggle for Magnification.
Alternatively, you should be able to do the same thing with Tasker if you have it installed and it's a bit easier. Make a new Task, give it a title (anything) and press the plus to add a step. Select Settings, then Accessibility settings (first option). There is some "if" options, but you can just tap your back button to go back to the step list. Create a widget for Tasker (1x1 task) and select the name of the task you just created. You then need to select an icon for the "widget" by tapping the icon in the lower right that looks like 9 squares in a grid. There are a bunch of built in icons you can choose from, or use your own. The result will be an icon on your desktop that goes to the accessibility options screen, allowing you to quickly toggle the magnification gesture.
Again, sorry this isn't exactly what you asked for, but it would save some taps. Luckily the mag gesture toggle is high enough in the list of options that it should always be on the screen when you open the accessibility settings, so you won't need to scroll.
Lastly, if you are rooted, you could use Tasker to also hit the toggle for you. If you want instructions for that, please do let me know and I'd be happy to share how to do that. It would allow you to tap the "widget" and it would then launch the accessibility settings, wait a second and then tap the toggle, and go back to the home screen. That way you wouldn't need to toggle it yourself.

Thanks a lot!
So it sounds like theres no way to make a widget the will toggle it specifically, without rooting my device.
And if I do root it and use Tasker it will take almost the same time as if I didn't.
If thats no other way then I guess I should root it even though Id prefer not too.
Unless theres another way, Instructions would be great! Thanks again!
Are you familiar with Tasker? It's a paid app, but it's absolutely worth it and you'll find lots of uses for it. I use it to auto reply to text messages while I'm driving, mute my phone when I'm at work (calendar based) turn on wifi when I'm at home (location based), etc.
First thing you need to do is find the location of the toggle on the screen. Go to Developer Settings and turn on "Show Pointer Location". This will make a gray bar at the top of your screen that lists your X and Y coordinates at the top when you are touching the screen. Go to the accessibility settings and touch the toggle, taking note of what the X and Y coordinates are for that touch input.
To simulate touch input, can make a task that opens the accessibility settings as I described above, then add a "wait" command (Task > Wait), enter a value of 1 second. Next enter a command for Code and select Run Shell. Under the command, type "input tap x y" where x and y are the x and y coordinates that you found for the toggle. Make sure the "use root" box is checked. Lastly, add a Tasker command to go to the home screen (back to where you started with the "widget").
Back all the way out of Tasker to save that task, then go back in and press the play button at the bottom left side to test your setup. You should see it launch the accessibility settings, wait a second, toggle, and go home. The first time you run it you will need to grant Tasker root permissions, so be ready for that. If you're not quick to approve it, the task may proceed and go to your home screen before you press approve, so you might need to run it again a second time after you approve it.
If you need more help with, or have any questions, please do let me know. Happy to help.

I just realized I need to buy an adapter for that USB C lol.
Before I go ahead with all of this work, your completely sure there is no other way to toggle magnification without rooting?
Thanks!

Sorry for the delay. I am not aware of any widgets. I couldn't find a widget on the Play Store or light Google searching.
Regarding the adapter, the 6p should have come with a short USB A to USB C cable specifically for connecting to a PC.

Have you used the built in magnification gesture? You turn it on in accessibility settings, then when you need something to be bigger, just tap the screen 3 times rapidly. You can use pinch to zoom to adjust the text size. When you're finished with it, tap the screen 3 times again. I use it when an app's text is just too small.

Haha Yes I have tried it you have to tap your finger 3 times to magnify which means every time you tap something once it waits to see if you will tap more times and cause slight lag.
Niceeee idea bro, i will try it

No problem!
Lol I was so excited for my new phone I never checked but I found it !
Thanks I will root it when I get the chance.
i have the same exact problem,i absolutely love the feature as i wouldn't be able to use any phone with out it but it also gets frustrating sometimes (the touch delay) for example in the dialer app or Instagram.
a toggle in the notification panel would be great or an app through which you specifically enable/disable the gestures for each individual app.
any other alternative would be appreciated, somebody posted the same issue here with a possible fix (which i am not exactly sure how to implement) https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39685

Nice to know I'm not the only one.
Sorry for the late reply been busy with school. It would be nice to have this option maybe like a button shortcut .
Hey guys so that way of using tasker is very slow and not feasible.
Is there any other way of making a quick toggle magnification gestures. It would be nice if I could hold the menu button to enable it. (IPhone tripple tap home button to toggle)
Thanks again.
I have low vision as well and have also found that leaving the magnification gesture turned on causes the phone to be laggy even when I don't actually have the magnification turned on. Instead of using that, I rooted my phone, changed the global DPI and I use App Settings (an Xposed module) to increase the font size in some apps or force the standard DPI in apps that have issues with the custom one.
There's a gestural workaround I've employed: if instead of just putting down my finger I drag my finger slightly (in any direction) then the lag almost disappears. Doing this helps a lot but obviously its a bit of an awkward gesture.

How did you set it up?
There's no set up. I just do that gesture to get the scrolling to stop when I have magnification enabled.
