[Q] How can I disable Auto-Editing Screenshots? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hello,
I've been enjoying my new S4 (I have the Korean version-- very fast).
I have a question, hopefully one of you know the answer. Whenever I take a screenshot, it then loads up the editing software. I don't want that to happen, it wastes time. I searched and searched for the ability to turn that off, but I can't find it! I'm sure it must exist.
So, if you know how to turn off the auto-edit of screenshots, please help me out.
Much appreciated!

I found the answer. I will post it here for future reference.
Settings --> My device --> Display --> Edit after screen capture (near the bottom)

how to disable screen turning off during calls?

Can you help me?
I have tried " Duttys Disable Sleep in Call " but it doesn't work.
I have also tried to modify:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL
EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall=0
and:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone
Sleep=0
nothing to be done: it keeps on not working!
do you have some suggestion?
I apologize me for mine bad English and I in advance thank you
Hello, personally I didn't try to solve this as I do like the behavior as it is. But this topic was discussed here in Jade (same chipset and TF2D) forums and here is some tip too.
All registry hacks & Advanced Config tricks for keeping the screen on while a call is in progress do not apply to the Jade/3G.
However, there is a solution to overcome this annoying feature:
install Touch InCall Screen Tweak, and set the options "Ignore first screen off" and "Always On" in the options.

It looks like there is no confirmed solution for our devices yet though. (I know I didn't help too much this way.)
koilos: Why do you want to do that? I think, that disabling screen while calling is quite good feature, because I don't want to perform some operations with my ear . And if you want to do some operations, you can always short press power button to enable it.
Anyway, there are some interesting options, you can play with on your own risk, like
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL -> BatteryTimeoutInCall (default: 5)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL -> BatteryTimeoutSuspendInCall (default: 5)
I didn't look at that, because I didn't have time now. Number should be time in seconds (my device's display goes black 5 seconds after call connects). Maybe it will need restart after change. Maybe it will do something else.
I have tried to modify the keys that you have recommended me ( planned value 60 ) , the display keeps on going off after 5 seconds.
I have obviously effected the soft reset.
Thanks however for the kind answer, if I had to find the solution it will be' my care to post it

[SOLVED 17-12-2009]Possible to switch position of shortcuts, or delete and add again?

Hii guys,
I was wondering if it is possible to switch the possition of the shortcuts, or do you have to remove everything and add them back again?? I couldn't find it so quickly in any other thread.
Thanks in advance
The Solution is to be found in post 6 + instructions!! Thanks to Som03ne!!!
==================================================
Here is a small app to re-order the Sense shortcuts.
Its GUI is very simple using existing controls/components, since I did not have too much time to put in it - resulting not much gui control modifications, meaning - Up - means up in the list -> down in the display.
Or to put it short - Clicking UP moves the element down, and clicking DOWN moves the element up.
On exit - you can select either to apply the changes, or drop the changes.
For changes to take effect - you should Power Off and Power On the device
(Or any other way to cause Sense to Exit and Re-Load)
I tried it on my device and it works.
Any comments - post in this thread, and Id check for them every now and then.

There is . . . but

You can do it with registry editor
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
There are keys marked with 0..9 (or 0..n)
each item is a shortcut on the home page.
Just change the numbers to the order you like.
If you want the 3rd element to be the first -
You should do the following:
rename "0" to "XXX"
rename "2" to "0"
rename "XXX" from the previous step to "2"
Enjoy.
OK thank you for the fast response, but is there no easier/faster way for this??
if not: then I'll do it with this
I have not found any

Maybe there is, but I tried to look for something easier,
and did not find anything.
(I believe it is possible to write a small app to do it,
but I dont know when I'd have the time to do it)
OK, well if you ever make something like that, send me a PM and I will post a link to your topic where you'll post the application, in my first post, so people who will search for this answer and come in this topic will find it.
Enjoy

This worked! Thanks. You just need to produce a Sense UI version. THis is especially useful if you have 16 links instead of the standard 9.
Wouldnt it be nice if you could reorder apps like on the iPhone? Not functionally necessary, but nice to look at nonetheless
Thanks again.

[Q] Questions... Various Mods/Tweaks/Help Needed

Ok, I have a few questions that should have easy solutions that I just can't find... probably because what I'm looking for is pretty specific. Hopefully I can get answers to at least a few of them. I will start out by saying that I am currently running the Energy Reference ROM on a Touch Pro 2 (with plenty of RAM I might add). As I find solutions, I will post them below under the "Resolved" section, just in case someone else needs help as well.
Questions:
----- How do you change the color/skin of the stock dialer? The only one that I found searching was the "dusk" dialer... I'm looking for something that I can change the color of some of the buttons (to blue or something)... someone has to have a CAB with a bunch of different colors???
Resolved:
----- First... how do you change the panel backgrounds in SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.5? I'm not looking to add widgets... not looking to change the background of the Today screen (already have done that)... I'm looking to change the background of the panels ONLY. Without changing the layout of anything. Just the panels. I have tried a few programs/skins (Vostradamus, etc.)... and I just can't figure out how to do this simple thing with them. So I'm hoping there's an easier way (registry edit, setting that I'm just not seeing, etc.).
Fix: ----- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4766529&postcount=730 (make SURE to use WinZip, NOT WinRar or anything else)
----- Second, for some reason, I can't see the settings of "Smartlock" in the SPB settings view (as in, if I go through SPB Mobile to get to "Settings", Smartlock isn't there). However, Smartlock is visible when I switch over to the "stock" Start Menu. So is there any way for Smartlock to appear in the SPB Mobile "Settings" tab? It's pretty weird that it isn't there (ALL of the other programs/settings functions show up, but not Smartlock).
Fix: ----- This fixed itself after a clean reinstall of SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.5.
----- Is it possible to keep all the "stock" icons up on top of the screen and add the clock display?
(I currently have the "data" icon, "signal strength" icon, "phone volume" icon, and "battery" icon... with room for the "X"/"OK" icon when a program is running)
I am looking to keep all of those icons while adding the clock display. Don't know if it's possible, but I thought I would ask.
IF it is possible to put the clock up there, would this be compatible with "Brian's Taskbar" to make the icons colorful? I don't have it on there yet, but I'm just wondering for future reference.
Fix: ----- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612083 (Battclock program... I'm still trying to figure out how to perfect it though). Doesn't appear to be very compatible if you have multiple backgrounds/different screens... but it'll work on at least one of the screens.
----- In the "stock" contacts, there are a few different "filters" (viewed via the menu button). To avoid duplication, I would like to have it always set to "Device Conacts", rather than "All Contacts" ("All Contacts contains SIM and device... which results in duplication). You can change it temporarily but selecting "Device Contacts", but when you re-enter it, it automatically switches back. If anyone knows of a way to permanently/by default choose "Device Contacts", that would be what I'm looking for.
Fix: ----- Registry edit... HKCU/Control Panel/Phone/ShowSim (change from 1 to 0, and they will be gone).
I can help with "third"... look at battclock. It is completely customizable and completely great. Alternatively, there is an option in the settings to display just a clock instead of battery meter in the task bar.
For the "first", try this post from the tips and tricks thread (may need to back out and read some surrounding posts to get a better idea)

Thanks for the suggestions.
I'm looking into the Battclock program, so I will update when I figure that out.
Thanks for showing me that thread for the "first" issue... that led me to the link that I posted in my first post, which is for 3.5.5 (I'm sure they're both the same... but the link I posted makes it pretty easy to understand I think).
Still looking for a solution for the color of the dialer/dialpad. I think I'm just going to have to either delete all of the SIM contacts and same them on my computer (to upload later when I switch phones or whatever).

Advice needed - Editing Settings.apk to create a shortcut

Hi.
I`m in the process of making a ROM especially for disabled / sight impaired people and am making good progress.
But two things I need to change are:
1) The location of the Talkback toggle (Instead of having it in Settings > Accessibility > Services) I want to put the slider toggle on the main settings screen above the Wifi toggle. I have found hacky ways of getting to the accessibility screen (using a settings shortcut and using home2shortcut to apply the shortcut) however, cyanogen have changed something in their code and making the same shortcut now does nothing, or rather it takes you to the accessibility screen, but you cannot go into talkback, you try and it just kicks you back to the accessibility screen
2) Remove the confirmation screen when you enable talkback.
I am familiar with the new gestures to suspend talkback temporarily, but I want to go one further than this and be able to switch it on or off at will, without confirmation.
I have looked into even making a SQlite script but this can only be used from CWM recovery apparently...
I just need to know what entries I need to tchange in the XML. I`m at ease with decompiling apks which I have done.
I would love to have this talkback toggle on the main setting screen, and it would be fantastic if I could remove the confirmation dialog from talkback itself.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks
wrong section. this goes in q&a. if it actually was something that you already developed, then it would go here.
Thank-you. Could A moderator please move this thread to Q and A please?
I thought as it is related to developing it may go here. Oh well...
Yes it is related to development as is the entire site, but the format is set, please read the Forum Rules on posting, Thank You Sir.
Anybody?
you should rather learn how to track code-links. theres acouple of very helpful tools like grep and godir. basically you start by searching for the same display text you see on your phone. you find that you have the variable name. you search for that one and it links into the layouts. you search for the layout id's and it links into the actualy code. you will run into these problems again and again, so better try to track it down on your own once and next time it happens you'll be fine.
