Hi
just wondering has anybody found an easy way to toggle between 2g and 3g on Villianrom? Found one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739530 that works with Cyanogenmod, but can't get it to install on Villianrom.
Superpower???

There's tons of widgets doing this on the Market
Just trying Superpower now - looks like just the ticket. Green power and juice defender seem to be similar, but have had problems with them not turning data back on - found them to be more hassle than they were worth.
I had a look at a good few of the toggles on the market, but the ones I found tend to just open the relevant section of the settings, rather than actually changing the setting themselves.
Yeah, im looking for the same but cant find any that work, perhaps support could be coded into the kernal?

This might not be a good tip if you're a "power user" but for normal folks it adds up to quite a bit of battery savings. It's basically something that Ultimate Juice does, but you can do it manually in about 1 second. I use Extended Controls for this little trick. I install a widget that allows you to enable/disable mobile data. When you choose the mobile data button it asks you what you want the function of the widget to be. Choose the one that actually turns off your mobile data. I use this every day and it's been a HUGE help to me. You can still receive calls and texts, but not G-Talk, internet, emails, etc. I've tried disabling "enable always on mobile data" which turns off mobile data when your phone "sleeps" but it doesnt give me the same results. I also add the "sync" button to my widget, that way I can enable data, manually sync then disable data pretty quickly. Like I said, it's not gonna be a big help for people who want to stay synced 100% of the time. But I've left my phone in my car while I was at work and when I came out it literally had not dropped even 1% And it was in there for over 8 hours. Anyways, I just wanted to try to contribute something back since this forum has been a gigantic help to me with all of my phone escapades lol.
Yep, I do the same. Huge difference to turn off 3G data when not using it.
Does't stop SMS or phone calls.
Good tip for those who do not need gmail/gvoice notifications.
you dont need to download anything, its in the shut down menu and htc has a widget for it if you run sense, not sure if android has a default widget or not but if you are running sense, go to add widget settings mobile network so if disabling 3g is all you need/want, its easier to go that route

I've been hoping around from rom to rom and I can't seem to find a standanole one
I wonder if someone can make the stock toggle widget work for WiFi tether app.
There's one in the market i forgot the name of it. Its meant for aosp roms though.
Still 8pening from my supersonic on the xda app.
You can use Switch Pro from the market. It's a pay app, but It's pretty nice, well worth it imo. It's got a toggle for EVERYTHING !
Hey... This thing makes phone calls too!
Also, if you all ready have Tasker, you could easily build one however you like. Love the power of Tasker.
Hey... This thing makes phone calls too!
Without hijacking, I'm looking for a a Toggle for Wireless Tether - Found here
Can anyone suggest one?
I prefer extended controls has everything and customization is great plus it has 4g toggle and you can also put what size you want the widget but it costs 1 something witch is not much at all

If you apply Calkulin's tether hack you can use the native hotspot app and its associated widget.

is it possible to apply his modification without having to use his whole rom?

Yes, there is flashable zip with just the tethering fix. I can't link it now, but check his Sig and you should be able to find it.

You have to be on a deodexed rom.
Extended Controls if you want a whole power bar with customizations of every toggle. Beautiful Widgets has a standalone wifi toggle, and Wifi Manager has a widget that lets you toggle wifi and view your IP/network/signal strength.
Hello everybody!
I'm quite new to this community and android and might have a sutipid question.
I have a nexus s with superaosp 8.6 on this rom I can easily by pulling down a drop down menue enable and disable various things, 2g-3g, gps, bluetoot aso.
Now I flashed for testing the oxygen rom but this ROM does not have this functionality.
is this something I can install by myself, some kind of app or do I need to hope that the developer will include this on the next release?
how are you doing this?
unfortunately I cannot yet post at the dev forum...
brgds
This should not go in the dev forum anyways
Sounds like that functionality was in the ROM you installed. Myself I just use the Power Control widget myself to quickly turn on/off both Bluetooth and GPS (and wifi as well).

thanks for your message, five minutes ago I found it.
there are dedicated rom settings and there is an additional tab to enable the status bar widget.
thanks a lot anyway
Hello to everyone.
I know that there are some similar threads in this forum, but no one is strictly related to the CM9 alpha IML74K.
I know as well that this could be part of the CM9 user discussion thread, but I'd like to share the best settings to get a good battery life with our S2 in a clean thread.
So, please:
no trolls, no dumb questions.
Just share your own experience (with a battery screenshot should be better).
Thanks a lot.
Here we go:

Debug usb off
Allow mock locations off
Force GPU rendering off
Windows animation scale off
Transition animation scale off
Don't keep activities on

For a quick switch to 2G mode and save more battery.
Testing "twek levels and filtering" in automatic backlight settings.
With Titanium Backup:
Frozen all live wallpapers, tts services and uninstalled Gtalk and mail.
P.S. Be careful, you need debug usb on when using Titanium Backup
Data on all the day. I turn it off when I go to bed.
Wireless on when I'm home and need to use dropbox or download a big file from my Gmail account.
I'm using CM9 01062012 (I know, there's a new one, but I've reached a very stable daily rom, no FC, no random reboots, fast and smooth).
Modem XXKL1
Now my battery lasts two days.
Well, when my girlfriend tells me stories about her life, it lasts one day and a half.
Important:
I've uninstalled Facebook app which was causing a battery drain. I'm using the mobile web page instead and I've to tell that it is faster.
Other apps installed:
Twitter, Maps, Sygic, Whattsapp, Beatiful widgets (with manual weather update), Xda premium, ...
2012-01-14 Added CyanogenMod Settings Apk v1.0 (from SGS forums)
How to install:
Download it to your internal SD card
Enter into Recovery mode;
Wipe cache;
Advanced settings, wipe dalvik cache;
Flash zip from Sdcard,
Choose CMSettings.zip and flash it.
Reboot system
2011-01-18 Update:
I've been trying few modems and I've found the best one for me: (Vodafone Spain, data on almost all the time, good signal quality, great battery life)
NEKD5 Modem Zip package.
Flash from recovery. Follow cmsettings instructions.
Nice post. Going to try some your suggestions.
I'm sure loads of other xdaers are going find this useful too.
So many posts in the cm9 discussion thread about battery life and how to achieve optimum performance good to have a thread about it.
Big props

I also agree on removing the Facebook app ATM its killing of battery life.
We have similar settings besides using Facebook let me see if things improve tmr

Apparently its a bug. It makes the OS look like its working over time but actually it won't be. Its somewhere in the cm discussion thread if you want to see the posts about it. As far as aware its not fixed yet with any of the builds.

The same here. But I've noticed that using Fastreboot app, it seems to kill/restart stuck apps/processes.
Anyway, rebooting the system before the night helps a lot.
Unless you're not a modern vampire...
Agree with others - excellent thread. There seem to be so many battery challenges with CM9 that a separate thread will lessen clutter in the discussion thread.
I've tried a number of your settings and have also flashed the KL1 modem. I had high hopes for KP4 at first, but it seems to have slipped back into old habits!
Has anyone looked into the FB-app? Why its causing battery problems?

The app and the process are still running after you close them.
I have tried to logout, but it's still there. I think the process keeps going for notifications and photo uploading.
I've tried to kill it, but it comes back after few seconds.
Finally I gave up and used the mobile web page.

But that isn't related to CM9, i had the same issues on gingerbread.
Yes, sir.
I knew it.
But it seems to me that Facebook app is eating more battery on ICS.
Checked my battery info and found out FB app percentage was 15% in 6 hours and I've used it just to read few messages. Then I've logged out.
I could be wrong, but I think it needs an update to control battery drain.
Indeed. I'll bet there are a host of apps that will need subtle tweaks and optimisations for ICS. Another reason not to expect too much from CM9 in terms of performance as yet...although access to kernal sources is obviously the big one!
CM settings
Trying right now CyanogenMod Settings app.
Flashable zip from recovery. The apk goes to /system.
It comes from GTi9000 forum and as I can see, it works perfectly on my S2.
It doesn't have so many options, but few are very important.
Let's have a look...
I'd be very interested on your feedback on this app.
On a different subject, I seem to have my battery back behaving reasonably well again with KP1 modem. In my tons of testing it seems like Nova Launcher - as much as I like it - is a significant contributor to my battery drain issues.
This could be because I have installed a bunch more stuff on Nova than I have with Trebuchet, so my next tactic is to gradually reintroduce some of my favourite widgets to Trebuchet to see if one of them suddenly starts killing my battery.
On the down side it may mean that I can't use one of my widgets for a while but on the plus side it may eliminate Nova as a battery drain meaning that I can go back to using it.
Have you tried FBM for facebook?
Basically the same look as the facebook app. But supposedly a lot cleaner!

As I said before, don't expect a very useful app. It's the 1.0 version, and hopefully it will be a great app. But for now I've tried only some settings in the automatic backlight and modified the notification power widget.
At the moment, that's all we have. Anyway, give it a try, if you'd like.
Screenshots added in the first post.
Anyone able to disable button's backlight? Its still on even though i set it to "0" in the custom settings..
Another thing,is it possible to the haptic feedback tweaks like in cm7 settings?
Back from some modem testings, I'd like to say that NEKD5 has surprised me.
Never loosing data at all, best battery life and no problem with sms and sync.
Here you've got it.

But I think had the same problem under gingerbread till the devs optimized the kernel...
What can be the cause of not having cm settings working correctly? I only have tabs like these:
Thanks in advance!
Is there a way I can automatically disable security (aside from the swipe) when it connects to my home network? I have no need for it to be locked at home and it would be annoying to disable every single time. Is there a way to only use the security when it's on the 4g network?
Anyone?
Look for an app on Play Store called Tasker. You can set it up that when connected to your Wifi it will do remove your screen lock etc

I have the Same need.
I tried using AutomateIt to do this but it doesn't have the option to manipulate the lock screen.
Ill check tasker.
There's some vids on here that show you how to use Tasker to achieve this. Have a look at the XDA TV link above, I'm sure your search/navigation-fu is strong
I thought I heard this would be a stock feature, and now that I've searched around a bit here I see I haven't gone crazy and it was initially announced. Sounds like some carriers may have it, but maybe no one does at all.
If you want something that doesn't have the overhead of tasker consider trying No Lock off the market. It has a 1x widget that looks like a padlock and you touch it to either enable the lockscreen or disable it. I've been using it for years and it has worked perfectly on one device after another. This has the benefit of allowing you to disable or enable the lock screen situationally at any time and place in the simplest and quickest possible manner.

No Lock doesn't work on my S4 unfortunately.
Good app if it worked.
Weird, works same as always on mine which is the international 9500. Worked on the stock rom, a couple other stock roms I tried, all the custom roms. I do get it though, I've also been using winamp for quite a while but this S4 gets a lag issue with the 4x1 widget that I never had before. Essentially whatever screen I place it on gets a lag going to that screen from either direction while the rest of the screens are smooth. Does it with every rom and all the launchers I use. Go figure. Using the stock music for now.

Do you have any security set for your lock screen?
Or just swipe to unlock?

Yes it was said to be included just like other stuff samsung left out. S4 = big mess

Spend the time and money on tasker, you'll be glad you did. I have it set that when I'm near cell towers near home, it'll turn on Wi-Fi, then connect to my home network, then disable keyguard, then lower volume or put on vibrate, it's awesome.
