All,
Is there a mod to prevent shut down via power menu unless the phone is unlocked?
Essentially to prevent random people from accessing your power menu and turning off your phone. (Especially in the case of theft and tracking apps)
I've seen VoidLock as an option, but it is a huge battery drainer because it monitors the screen whenever a button is touched.
Thanks in advance.
I have seen several threads on several different forums all asking about this. There was either no response or the OP of the thread was told to edit a few lines in the source and recompile...
Many people asked about having an option added either to ROM control or Settings to disable power menu on lockscreen, but I don't think it has happened yet.
I can't do it on virtuous (forget which one, think it's affinity)

Is it possible to add a soft key or something like that to turn on or off the flash light in camera mode only? it is kind of slow to go to menu and turn it on and off all the time
Thank you for reading and this forum really is the ulitmate site!

You don't need to open a new thread on a ubiquitous topic.
Since this question has been asked before (asked, discussed and answered...), may I suggest you to use the SEARCH function or scroll down to past threads and read some info ??
I think it's a valid question. There's a registry hack in another thread that will automatically turn on the flash when the camera is activated, but nothing that i've found in regards to a simple button to activate/deactivate the flash.
I would rather not have the flash automatically come on when i start the camera cause i Don't need the flash most of the time. However, it would be nice to have a button to turn it on instead of going through the menu.
At present I'm using S2U2, but reading all this about power consumption, I'm wondering what the other options are?
wrong place to post questions.

hi, first i want thank damageless for an amazing mod, i'm really diggin it.
second, i have some questions, is there any way to make the phone not end the call when you press the hard key "end button", but rather just to turn the screen off? i finding myself accidentally pressing things with my cheek when i'm on the phone and i would like to be able to turn the screen off while i'm on a call.
also, is there a way to get rid of some apps, like sprint tv and some others without deleting the navigation?
thanks.
check out "Proximity Sensor" by Tom Reay in the Marketplace. Kicks ass -- uses the light sensor to simulate and proximity sensor and "lock" the screen while you're in call. Just found it today -- works great for me!
GREAT find

MOD EDIT - Moved to General discussion as not relevant to development
I'm sure removing the apps is possible because Fresh only comes with NFL. You can add the others as you wish, but they are removed by default.
check the themes section or the search button and all your questions will be answered
search button works wonders on "removing stock apps from htc hero"
What do i need to edit to increase the timeout of the capacitive buttons? Im sure everyone is in this boat - the backlight switches off after two seconds or so of inactivity...

Hi,
Thats an interesting one...I have no idea (until now I was a WM user), but I would be glad to kwno how to increase the timeout. Shouldn't it be locked to the display timeout? Would make sense in my opinion...

Bump......
What about setting the LEDs up to show notifications for new messages, new emails, missed calls, etc.?
Bump.......
This is nothing about development... please post in General instead of Development forum, you'll find your answer faster there next time.
oh really? i would say a) editing core android files is development and b) am i really getting advice from a noob?
There's this... Blinker - Button LED Notification
Still early days, but if he's got direct control over those buttons he might be able to change the timeout, and the app answers zyborg's post in any case.
I shall ask him.

I can't find the timeout... I guess its the same timeout like for the Lockscreen 5000ms.
I could only do a workarround, something like everytime when the light turns off... my app turns it on. But thats a little bit dirty ;-)
I imagine that this will not be easy, as there is a development thread over in the SGS forum about Back Light Notifications (BLN).
It can only be achieved through flashing a modified kernel - and as I understand it, the dev tried many different methods to get it to work until deciding on the current method.

I thought creating this thread will help a few people who are new to the note and doesn't know it's S Pen hidden functions. Below is the list of what I know it could do so far. Please let me know if you are aware of any other functions and I will add it to this post. Thanks.
1. Hold down S Pen button and tap on any screen to take a screen shot.
2. While in browser, hold down S Pen button and swipe left to go back to previous page. While in any app, the same action is equivalent to the "back" button.
3. While pressing the S Pen button, drag the S Pen down to open a list of options available on the current screen.
4. Hold down S Pen button and double tap on any screen to pull up S Note mini app.
these tips already mentioned in the user manual. So I copy here:
- Back: While pressing the S Pen button, drag the S Pen to the left to return to the previous screen.
- Menu: While pressing the S Pen button, drag the S Pen down to open a list of options available on the current screen.
- Screen capture: While pressing the S Pen button, tap and hold the screen to capture a screenshot. After capturing a screenshot, you can draw on it, write on it, or crop it. The edited image will be saved in My Files → sdcard → Pictures → Screenshots.
- Quick note: While pressing the S Pen button, double-tap the screen to launch the Quick note function.
I typically don't read user manuals.. I like them all wrapped up in plastic and new and what not.. I hope I'm not the few who are doing this.

OP, you had already created a thread for this!!

Why create duplicate threads?

Because that was in a Q&A forum. The general section is where people usually looks for tips not Q&A. Sorry if this have cause you any inconvenience.

Obviously forum moderators to provide guideline on this.
My preference is that, not every question that gets answered in Q&A thread, should be posted again in general forum as duplicate thread only to share the answer again. We all should use the search function more, and reduce clutter and keep conversation in a single thread.
Or maybe you can close the orginal thread in Q&A forum, and point to this new thread from there in closing comments?
Just my 2 cents.
obiviously, this thread is relevant and had helped a few people. Like I say, people do not look for tips in Q&A forum. I agree that we all should use the search function, however, a lot of people tends to not use it. I just put this thread in it's relevant section so it would be more widely available for more people who are new and looking for tips for our great device.
