Post Your 2.1 Tips

Well with many updated to 2.1 why not post few tips ...
here is mine
1.) We often over look at the network setting after update .. atleast i forgot to look into it .. i mean the phone by default will be using both GSM /WCDMA after update ,so change to GSM or accordingly.. as it will save loads of battery
2.) Do a restart after update , as it is said that phone is much faster after the initial restart and also a battery removal for a minute or so can also help..[not sure]
3.)Put your phone in full charge after the update... as the update and other proceess would have ate the battery and life may not reflect perfectly .. so do a full recharge and see the battery life
4.)Use Extended widget for auto-brightness feature
5.)I am not sure , but unless its important app , i would ask u guys to do a frsh install of apps
6.) Instead of 5 home screen , if u guys are ok with 3 , i would suggest you guys to use 3 as it might not eat too much memory ...
7.) Experiment with live wallpapers .. some might consume a load of CPU , some might not.. so balance between speed and design/UI
if you guys have any other suggestion .. please post..

Thank you!
Number 2 and 4 helped me out! ^^
Where can I find Number 6?

use launcherpro app

After update my suggestion do a complete default load and think that you got a new phone and start all over again. U will love ur phone again in no time (did it my self no problems what so ever).

ya with all syncing done over internet.. all we need is login and pulling stuffs from net

Well, for me is easier to install apps using the computer
1. install appbrain
2. install fast web installer
3. search apps on app brain and press install.
You don't have to open the market app ... ever

app brain is best with fast web installer which comes along..

what is and where do i find "extended widget"?

1. Use ADW Launcher by anderweb. And clean your stock launcher. It much smoother.
2. Use ADW custom shortcut->adw activity->gallery to load hidden 3d gallery. Use the same method but choose music to choose music player hidden app.
3. Use quicksettings from sergej.
4. LED did work if your screen is off (lot of people tell it didn't work).
5. Use myphoneexplorer to sync between your phone and computer.

you can actually continue to slide unlock in the same pattern as 1.6, you do not have to use the slide across the screen as indicated on the lockscreen.
see screenshot and try to unlock as shown with the red arrow (ie - the old way)

On rogers in canada, I tried this tip n when I put the setting to gsm only, I don't get 3g but 2g only. Put it back to gsm/wcdma preferred n I get 3g back

Using launcher pro, uninstall ADW, the icons on the dock are nice with LP.
also added activity for Gallery as someone stated above, thanks for the tip

I find LauncherPro a LOT better than ADW. ADW was complete garbage for me. FC after FC.

change brightness

is there anyway to change brightness without minimizing application or going to setting menu or use widgets. Tab 2 has this cool notification bar from where you can do lots of things like changing turning off/on gps,wi-fi,sync, change volume and brightness (manually) or set auto. And it does it without interruption.. very useful! On Nexus 7 it's a whole different thing.. i use power toggles from playstore and it has that option to put the toggles in the notification bar.. it works but not the way i would like it to.. Like for example i'm watching youtube and i want to bump up the brightness i pull down notification bar select brightness slider and youtube stops the video.. now after i adjusted the brightness i have to click on play icon sometimes the video resumes sometimes it reloads or rebuffers.
You get the point.. Thanks!

Try Widgetsoid.
It might work better for you than power toggles

no it does the same thing .. ohh well!
quad core should handle simple things like that.. i'll write to painless death see what they gonna tell

Maybe this?

nope the same thing.. i guess it's JB itself! No matter what i try it does the same thing stops(pauses) youtube. I wish youtube had those gesture controls like in MX player or BS player or basically any other third party video players!

Notification Toggle. You can have access to all the settings like WiFi, GPS, brightness, sound etc. all in the notification drawer.

yeah i've tried it not exactly what i'm looking for.. I want application that would do it seamlessly without any interruption. Just like volume.. when press volume rocker the volume control pops out over playing video you can still use the rocker or you can slide the volume on screen while your video plays I want the same thing with the brightness ..

I just use Jkay's deluxe settings. It integrates the settings in the notifications panel

What you want is display brightness ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.DisplayBrightness&hl=en ). It makes swiping your notification bar adjust brightness. Go through the settings to get it like you want. Hope that helps.

You could try the SGT7 CM10 ROM. That has the toggles in the notification drawer. It might work for you.

This actually is a feature inside deluxe settings.

[ROM]AOKP For U8800

AOKP For U8800​
About:
AOKP For U8800 features Rom Control which allows you to customize the phone with many different options.
Features:
3.0.8 Kernel running at 1ghz default
Some GAPPS
Known Bugs:
Rom Control randomly brakes stoping you from changing anything. (Possibility of this happening is very low)
Weather option in Rom Control doesn't work.
Performance option in Rom Control doesn't set the frequency so download no frills or set cpu from the play store.
Stock camera and camcorder apps don't work (removed from rom) so download a camera app from the play store.
Can't detect devices or send files with bluetooth but can pair with a device trying to pair with you and also receive files over bluetooth.
Auto brightness doesn't work.
Battery stats are messed up '% but i have fixed this for next release but i want to fix a few more things first.
Superuser sometimes spams a toast notification saying "root has been granted superuser access", but I will make sure I fix this for the next release, but till then just reboot the phone. (turns out this is a problem with superuser.apk so they released a fix on the play store, so just search superuser and there should be a fix)
Powering on the phone can lower the battery percentage show but I am pretty sure this is just a visual bug not a batter drain.
Download:
http://www.mediafire.com/?35uoequ5nnxakq9
Credits:
Hi8143 for creating a bootable base
Me for fixing the rom up and making it a daily usable rom
If you think you can fix something in this rom and would like to help make it more awesome then PM me saying what you can fix or have fixed and if you have fixed something PM me the file and ill make sure you are in the credits on this and in the rom.

Is that background in the menus, that space image, default in AOKP? the a.imagine is nice, but as a background for menus it's pretty awful... ruins the looks for me. Any way to change that? Is that image in framework-res?

I would fix it and it is in the framework-res but i can't figure out which one it is so if you can figure out which one it is send me the the modified framework-res

+1 For reverting to original black(?) background.

i've not tried the rom yet but to change the background goto res>drawable-nodpi in framework and change background_holo_dark, that is how it normally is.

ahhhhhhh that makes more sense for some reason i didn't check in there lol but ill put it back to the normal image and also does anyone know where .cpp files are in a compiled rom because thats what i need to fix to get bluetooth working and also i need to know where the sensor files are to get proximity sensor working. Thanks in advance if you do.

Ok thanks ill change it for the next release which should be released this week if i can find where the sensor files are stored or bluetooth .cpp files are but if i cant fix these problems ill just release the next version as it improves battery life slightly and stability has been improved slightly.

Hey, if you are running into some difficulties, try asking Blefish for help or some tips at least, I'm sure he'd be glad to answer some questions you might have .

You can do it yourself, use root explorer, go to system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl
Open it and edit key 217 from SEARCH to POWER (write exactly), then save and reboot, it will work! Remember to mount r/w system with your root explorer, if not it wont save!

Swipe Up From Home Button to Lock Screen -- Sharing what I discovered...

The same gesture that you do to get to Google Now can be changed to turning the device/screen off.
Just install this free app called "Screen Off And Lock": https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&hl=en
Then swipe up from Home (like you would to get to Google Now) and it'll ask you to set a new default:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Grant it permissions, and now, every time you swipe up from Home, you can lock your screen/device from anywhere! Great for those who don't want to overuse the power button, and for those who obviously don't use Google Now like that.
To get rid of it, just go to "Screen Off and Lock" app in your App settings and Clear Defaults (or just uninstall the app).
Just thought I'd share.

Thank you! I love the apps like this.

love it, if only i can swipe up to turn on

Thanks for sharing.

Perfect! The next step is a kernel with a tap-tap to wake

Glad you guys are enjoying it. It makes turning off the device so much cooler.

Bricked kernel supports both tap to wake as well as swipe to wake BUT battery train increases by about 2-3x on idle above having it off. It goes from 0.5 to 1% per hour w/o these enabled to 2-3% w/ enabled. These are both customizable (enable/disable) but be aware of the drain.

This is great for one handed operation when you don't want to reposition the phone.

Very cool, just what my N5 was needing!

Thanks for highlighting this app.

This app disabled the double tap to wake function of the bricked kernel. That is unfortunate, because having both of these running in conjunction would make the N5 a 1 handed notification checking, song changing device when its on your desk or table.
EDIT: Just kidding it was disabled for some reason. I had it set to reenable after start up...so I don't know what happened.

Lol. It's the exact same amount as Google Now. It is only listening when the screen is already on, which would otherwise be waiting for an upward swipe for Now.

Could you please list the steps or the settings needed to modify the home screen to rotate. I have spent countless hours trying to configure this and while I can get the screen to rotate it will not rotate properly without either cutting off the text under the apps or showing an additional portion of the adjoining screen. It also will not scroll from screen to screen properly either.
Any help you could provide would be so greatly appreciated.

Root your device
Install Tweaksbox
Inside Tweaksbox, go to "LG Launcher Tweaks" and check "Enable LG Launcher's hidden settings"
Restart phone
Go to Home Screen Settings
You will see at the bottom in bold "Hidden Settings"
Uncheck "FEATURE_DEFAULT_PORTRAITVIEWONLY"
Uncheck "FEATURE_USE_PORTRAIT_ONLY"
Check "FEATURE_USE_ROTATE_LAYOUT"
Check "FEATURE_RESIZING_AND_MAKE_CENTER_Y_WALLPAPER_ON_LANDSCAPE"
I believe that does it right away, but you may have to restart your phone again.

No... I've done this without rooting the phone. I know because I did it not long back but for the life of me I can not remember how I did it.... Or am I going mad.

I was simply replying to my own posting where I couldn't remember how I managed to rotate the Home Screens.
I remembered in the end and again answered in reply to both my own statement and being informed I had to root.

There are ton of apps out there that will force your phone to rotate. I use one called alternate rotation control. You can make any app or your any home screen rotate.
