Screen Timeout - EVO Shift 4G General

Has anyone figured out a way to keep the screen on when maps is on? I know Sprint Nav will stay on, but I would like to keep maps on without the screen timing out. You would think Google would have a feature that when plugged in would allow certain apps to keep the screen on.

I know it sounds like I'm plugging the hell out of it lately (it has so many features), but widgetsoid had a toggle to keep screen on

Notification bar brightness

When I was messing around with my epic yesterday I did something I never did before.
If you swype your finger on the notification bar you can turn your brightness up or down.
Just wanted to let you all know this, Did not see any other post on it.

did this just start happening out of the blue? or did it happen after you installed or changed something?
also, are you refering to the sd card notification sound? turn off the sd card notification in the Sound settings and see if your phone still does the annoying tone
I have no idea...I updated mp3 music download and then I noticed that this happened... but I don't know if that did anything... I don't know what the sd notification sound is... but it's the default ringtone that goes on instead of the droid sound

are you rooted?
i think the sound file responsible for this is in /system/customize/resource/
see if it's in there. you must be rooted and using Root Explorer
I'm not rooted... running stock rom

Xda app force closing

Has anyone else experiences this? It always happens after I go into another app or put the phone to sleep from xda. Usually after 10-15 minutes I go back into xda and it takes for to load. Then once I press back or home it force closes. Not a big deal but gets kind of annoying.

Yeah happens to me too. I go in, it says connecting to server forever, then I hit back to close that popup, then if I hit back again it slides over to a blank screen, then the force close notification pops up.

If you root your phone you can remove bloatware like Sprint nav, Sprint tv, Sprint zone, some of the HTC things like news stocks I mean you can do a whole lot once rooted

There are apps to control start up apps too once you root.

Alright well I just rooted my phone, do you suggest any apps to control the start ups?
Startup cleaner 2.0 looks well..but there aren't many apps that delay starting..so if you want to look into it go ahead but the difference wouldn't be enormous

What they mean is they want to be able to open it even in fullscreen apps, games etc. The way apple does it is you swipe down from the top once a small tab then appears and then you pull that tab down and the notification dropdown appears.
