[Q] [MOD] Sound Settings - Silent - Vibrate - Sound

As everybody knows, there are three types of feedback which the Epic delivers to users (aside from the blinking light). They are: Silent (no sound or vibrate), Vibrate, and Sound.
Currently, the settings only allow for: Silent Mode, Vibrate Mode, or volume mode with vibrate.
This makes sense to me but what doesn't make sense is why we cant have all three in one option. We have to go into settings and change them every time we want to go from silent mode (then can add or take away volume by clicking side button) to vibrate mode (then can add or take away volume by clicking side button).
Instead the MOD I'm requesting is to enable the sound up side button to go from:
Silent to Vibrate to Sound Up
and Sound Down button to go from:
Sound to Vibrate to Silent
Is this possible?
Would any other users like this feature?
Thank you for reading and posting!
(Currently using Midnight ROM 4.2 BYOR)

If nobody comes up with a mod, you may consider using something like Widgetsoid to place a homescreen widget which allows you to switch between Sound/Vibrate/Silent.

i could swear this was how it worked when i was on DI18 Eclair. Ever since i upgraded to EB13 Froyo, theres a new button for silent/vibrate in the notifications dropdown next to wifi, bluetooth, gps, 4g.
now when i use the volume buttons it goes straight from sound on, to which ever combination of silent/vibrate is configured in the settings rather than toggling between vibrate and sound as well.
i have resorted to using widgets to quickly switch, but would love a mod to let the vol buttons do what im sure they used to do... (maybe im crazy and they never did this though)

I use extended controls. On top of the standard controls from the power widget that's our loaded into the rom I had an option for silent and vibrate and a couple other things. Honestly this widget is alot easier then the pull down cause off all the stuff I use it for

I ended up using extended controls. It was great advice - highly customizable. Don't know how I've used my phone so long without it! Highly reccomend extended controls.

I would definitely like to see a mod to bring this functionality back. It is ridiculous to change something as fundamental as this, every phone i've had knew the difference between silent and vibrate and both were easily accesible.
Adding a widget works, but it is a clunky work-around and not everyone wants a huge power control widget or an extra button on their homescreen.

Prevent screen off while charging

Hi all,
For the life of me, I couldn't find a setting to prevent my screen from turning off while charging, a feature I was used to on earlier android phones. It's particularly useful since I have my One in a desktop dock frequently, and want to have the screen on constantly.
Thankfully, I found a solution in an app called "Keep Screen On," which does exactly what it says and has an option to keep the screen on while charging.
Hope this helps anyone in a similar situation!

Doesnt the 'stay awake'on charging in display settings already do this for you??

I'm on the AT&T One, and I do not have that setting in Display or Developer Options.

Click several times (i think ten times) and the dev options will pop up in settings.

Edit: Nevermind, cant read

There is no option to keep the device awake while charging for the stock rom. All you can do is make the awake time longer. Retarded imho.
Especially when using the device for GPS....

you don't have that "stay awake" option in stock HTC rom.

I have the stay awake option on a branded 3 network HTC One untouched. Same as above sat right there at the top of the developer options.

This option was removed in the latest update from 1.28 to 1.29. Once you get the latest OTA, this option will be no more available.

Screen does not go off while using certain applications like Navigation, music etc. It is now more application dependent

It def doesn't stay on during music playback. Atleast not using Play Music. I keep having to turn the screen back on when I want to change albums when I'm plugged in in my car. Nav I'm unsure. Been awhile since I've used it. I'll check when I leave for work.
Wish they didn't take the option away.

Yes it is true it does not stay awake in Google Play music. I can confirm that screen is on in following applications:-
1. Phone docked in HTC Car dock and HTC car dock application running. Any application running in car dock mode
2. In Google navigation
3. In Sygic navigation
4. In HTC Music application while it is playing in visualization mode
5. Itunes has inbuilt setting to keep phone awake while music is playing
Similarly all applications requiring phone to be awake like youtube etc while playing will keep screen on.
I dock phone during commute in HTC Car dock with Car dock application running and phone is always awake. On office deck also I dock the phone in HTC car dock and play music in visualization mode to keep phone awake.
In case your are not using HTC official car dock, see if activating car dock application and then playing music through Google play music will keep the screen on.

Use “Stay awake” app from market.
Set “Only while charging”.

Its part of Google Now. You probably searched some directions or have your home or work programmed in there, so when it knows you are away from that area it will show you how much time to get back to home or work, or the directions you searched for.
Pull down the notification bar and you should see it there like "Time to get Home xx mins" or similar. Just swipe it away if you don't want to see it.

When the phone is on a flat surface like a desk, you wave your hand over the top where the LED is, the LED will light up shortly and then screen will come on for a few seconds to show you the notification screen you attached earlier

Just to add - the idea is to show you why the LED is flashing without unlocking your phone. If the light is blinking it could be from missed call, text, email, etc. That screen shows you but it also has icons for weather, driving directions, etc.
I have been using this feature, but i am not sure it is any better then tapping the home button - since that wakes up the phone, and you will see notification icons in the top to tell why the LED is flashing. Now that i think about it, i may turn this off

Given that it took you days to figure out what it even is, you might want to give it more time before you conclude it is a stupid feature.

Hahaha then enlighten us Mr. George !! it takes a millisecond to press the home button and figure out what notifications you have , how long does it take for the sensor to see your hand motion?

Ok, question was asked and I gave you the answer, it is now solved, OP you need to say Solved in the header, and close this before it becomes a bashing event. There are enough of these threads already.

[APP] Car Dock Mode - Since it's missing

Car Dock *Root* - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.warner.carmode
I just made this app recently to initiate the Car Dock functionality for my Nexus 5.
Advantages of car dock mode: Landscape mode on home screen, auto speaker phone when getting calls, other little features that people may have used in the past

SUPER simple app that doubles as a 1x1 widget. Unfortunately though, it requires root to put the device into the appropriate Car Dock mode due to having to execute a simple one line shell command. The standard SDK broadcast intents don't have the appropriate permissions to execute the Car Dock mode correctly.
Note: Don't disable Car Dock mode using the system notification. This is a notification provided by the Android OS and incorrectly disables Car Dock mode the same way you could do so without escalated privileges. Essentially it just shuts of car dock mode but doesn't disable rotation on the home screen which is the big thing.
Let me know what you think, was gonna share it around.
Tested on
Nexus 5 w/ 4.4.2 Stock Rom rooted
Galaxy Nexus w/ 4.3 Cyanogenmod
Droid Incredible w/ 4.0.3 Cyanogenmod

It allows you to put the phone in landscape during the home screen and makes things a lot more automated for car situations. Like it will automatically put your calls in speaker phone mode and other little things.
I had used Car Dock mode a lot with my Galaxy Nexus when I would put it in the car dock because the pogo pins would set it to that mode, but now it's not as accessible with the Nexus 5 since there isn't a dedicated dock for it.

Thanks for sharing. Initial impression - looks nice, installed it via Play Store and running, screen rotate with most apps (Youtube, Maps & Google Now, etc.) - simplistic & functional, will test it tomorrow on a snow day as we need to head out. Having incoming calls to ring & answer in speakerphone mode is perfect when BT isn't connected ... not that I advocate distracted driving behind the wheels.
What will it take to rotate the stock telephone dialer and/or the Talkatone dialer? Google/LG should've included the Car Dock on its installed App list for the Nexus 5. I like it. :highfive:

Hm... How is it different from my app (which works as I described here)?
Also, my app doesn't require you to "not disable the car dock mode from the system notification", as it will still correctly disable car mode just fine on a second launch, without any reboot.

OMG, no, I was just asking what's the difference.
E.g., he could have used a different method of achieving the dock state, like firing up a broadcast message via am command (which I've failed to do properly), or something else. I just wanted to know how this one works, that's all.

Can I do a request? I think this would be more useful with a Tasker plugin or a separated switcher for on/off. The reason is sometimes using NFC lockscreenoff enabler xposed module for tag lost detection, when a tag is lost very early, then the car mode goes inverted cause you can't set a task for swith car mode on or off, just toggle.
Sorry for my poor English.

[Q] Google Now and always listening

Dear all,
I would like to hear from you about Google Now shortcut and "always listening" feature like we find on Moto X. I'm tempted about Moto X price/specs but I'm kind of disapointed about his camera and would like to know if is there a way to use those features (always listening with google now) on Note 4.
I read about some tweaks with Tasker killing S-Voice and lauching Google Now instead but I'm searching for a more "natural" alternative.
Is there any chance to get this on note 4?

Nova Launcher allows you to enable that on any phone, and I am enjoying it on my M8
If its not "default" on the note4, I will just enable it that way..

Thank you wase4711, have you noticed a big battery impact?
Edit: I just tried on my friends phone, it only work with the screen on right?

well, I have had it activated almost from the first day I had my M8, so not sure what the battery impact is..my battery still lasts all day, which is what I expect from any modern flagship phone..
and yes, it only works when the phone screen is on, but I use gravity screen anyways, so once I pick up my phone, the screen comes on anyways.
I will be curious to see how the newest version of S Voice works on the Note 4..

Unfortunately, It seems that is not just port the app. If I understood well reading AnandTech review and other posts on this thread the responsible for "always listening" is a dedicated CPU from Texas Instruments called C55x. Using openMic or any other tweak without the proper hardware is just a dirty solution.

Till two or three days ago I thought the same, that's why I didn't understand the reason no other brand (sony, samsung...) was implementing the 'always listening' since they use the same SoC. But according to others, the c55x is the reponsible for this and not the S801/S805.

"Always-on" function gone and replaced by "From any screen". Why?
When you go to the settings of Google Search/Voice/OK Google Detection/
one should see the "Always-on" option.
I used to have it, but right now it´s gone and got replaced by "From any screen". I don´t know how that happened.
The problem is, "From any screen" doesn´t work when the display is OFF.
The "Always-on"-function does work also when the display is OFF.
I already re-installed Google Search, but that didn´t help either.
Anyone got an idea how to get the "Always-On"-function back?
