Similar to the ios devices that have the slide to power off I know we have the prompt that gives us mire such as reboot, airplane mode ect., but im doing some experimenting with creating an entire ios UI within Android without the need for root, some examples are in the pics provided, but It would really top everything off if I could get the slide to power off confirmation, If anyone knows of one already created please provide me with a link
-Thanks!

Could you please explain the slide to power off feature to us non-iOS guys? I have never heard of this feature.
I think that you need root to power off or reboot.
You can execute
Code:
su -c reboot
for rebooting.
You will need a rooted phone for that. We can help you making the sliding feature work, but rebooting and shutting down requires root.
Well im not really an ios person either haha, but I am speaking of an app that could just add an action to the power button to prompt with the same "slide to power off" confirmation as the iphone type in "slide to power off iphone" in google and go to either images or a YouTube video abd you'll be sure to see what I am referring to.

As I have already said, only on rooted phones an app can reboot or power off.
Just thought, didn't try it, but maybe using the buybox binary for non-rooted devices you could do a hot reboot using :
Code:
busybox killall system_server
I don't know if it includes the killall applet or not.
Could you further explain this example please?

You hold down the power button, and instead of the power menu, it loads a slidable widget like thing at the bottom of the screen.(Same thing as the iPhone lockscreen). Inside this "widget" it says "Slide to power off". You slide an object across this "widget", and then it will shut down your device.

Thank you for your explanation.
@Lilryke: You will need to create your own ROM or mod another ROM for that.

This is not my app, but it's a great find and I just thought I would share
Screen Off and Lock
Let's you lock the screen (turn it off) via a long press of the search button. Although there is NO widget, the app icon can be placed onto the home screen or a dock and essentially does the same exact thing.
So far it's working wonders for me, and is an awesome combination with Track Pad Wake.
If you like the app be sure to give it 5 stars and if your feeling generous buy the donate version. Links are provided below if your interested
NOTE: **Before you can UNINSTALL this app, please go to "Setting > Location and Security > Select device administrators" and then uncheck "Screen Off and Lock"**

Sounds good! Will try it out...
Like the voice commands more than something like this. Can't have another program taking over my long press on the search button. Plus a long press takes as much time as just hitting the power button on top.

I've been using this app for a few months now, and I have to say it's a great compliment to the trackpad. No longer do I have to rely solely on the power button to lock the phone. I actually configured the clock portion of Beautiful Widgets to run this screen lock application, so I don't have to have another shortcut on my home screen. It's simply hidden within the BW clock.
PS - Shouldn't this thread be in the apps/themes section?

i'm just kidding, but i couldn't resist....
Yeah they need some type of way to lock it.
Theres an app called ring guard that reverts the ring tone volume when accidentally hit. It's pretty good because I used to hit out all the time.
If you don't like that then I suggest acquiring a case the protects the volume from being so easily pressed.

Riggs may be kidding but it's actually the truth. The volume keys are useful, why would you want them disabled? The best solution to your problem really is to just stop pressing them. I know the problem, I had my own issues with them... for about 2 days. Then I just stopped pressing them.
Don't downgrade your device, upgrade yourself

Thanks everyone for your replies, no I'm not holding it wrong but I am left handed and the volume rocker is always against my hand. When typing like I am right now I occasional hit the volume by accident. Also I have car holder and that always hits em as well, didn't have that problem with my evo so I was just asking a question. I appreciate the jokes because they are funny and I thank the only one of you all who actually gave me some good advice.

I use Volume locker - it still allows you to press the button, but does not change the setting until you confirm it on the screen. It seems to be the best solution sort of editing the text file on the phone that contains the button mappings.
Good luck
I use volume locker also by hourdb in the market...I can vouch that its a great app that does wonders...also comes with many fine tune settings to control many different scenarios depending on your needs.

Hi Xda-ians,
Currently, I'm trying i)drocap2, and ii)ShootMe, neither both of them, I feel it doesn't works well for my Wildfire.
So, would anyone suggest the screenshot app for Wildire?
Thanks.
Shootme works well.
And if you are on cm7, there is an inbuilt screenshot application which u can access it anytime by long pressing the power button. But it cannot take the app menu options which can be took by shootme app.

Yes, I'm on cm7.0.3. What do u mean by long press Power button? If I do so, it shows a dropdowm list silent mode, reboot, power off...
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Don't know whether it is present in cm 7.0.3 or not. But as I can remember it is included in nightly #140 (or maybe earlier). So it should be there in the latest nightlies.
On long press of power button, u will see the options silent mode, airplane mode, choose profile, screenshot, reboot, power off. Here if u select screenshot, that screen before the long pressing power button will be taken as screen shot. The picture will be saved as .png to the path /sdcard/DCIM/Screenshots/

Thank for clearly explained. I think my phone have something wrong even 7.0.3 but not properly worked... here it's about my phone info. If I try to press long Power button will no see the screenshot as what you explain

Its a feature introduced in the new nightlies (Since it was introduced much after 7.0.3). When you long press power button, there will be a screenshot option, along with the ones like Power Off, Reboot, Airplane mode etc.
BTW, if you are wondering, I have taken this screenshot using the ddms.bat tool in Android SDK.
I'm not sure what wrong with my phone but here is the screenshot (I'm trying to use 'ShotMe' sometime works and sometime not)
Thanks for all your replies.
RE: screenshot app for wildfire

Thank you for the tip, since cm7 has no sense et all, so I would prefer to wait 2.3.x with sense. Anyways, thanks to all of u for making myself clear on this.

Can someone tell me how to change the menu color. I have seen the power menu it self changed to a brushed metal background and I want to do that for mine but I can't find any answers.
are you talking about from power saving? that changes everything to grayscale.... settings > power saving > power saving mode > turn on grayscale mode
Sent from my primary sender for sending
No, just normal. I just want to be able to have a different color power menu screen or maybe even have a picture I took as the menu screen with the power off, reboot, emergency.... Etc... On top of it. Does that make sense?
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Free mobile app
Maybe you can post a screen shot of the menu you're talking about? from your last message sounds like when you hold the power button down and the "phone options" pops up. If so, then sounds like you're looking for something from either a custom rom or a theme. If you're on stock, you won't get options like that.

Its not exactly easy to modify system colors. Perhaps an xposed module will be your best bet.
I have not seen an xposed mod that will do that

Sorry I am new to this forum and not sure if this is the place to ask questions. I just got my 6p today and was excited to try the camera but soon found out that I can't preview the photos that was taken in the previous session (like the photos I took with this phone previously). I attached a picture and you can see the lock icon on the lower right corner. Is it supposed to be like this?

That only appears if your phone is not unlocked and you launch the camera from the lockscreen. Otherwise, if you unlock your phone first before launching the camera, then you should be able to see the images there.

I see! Wow that's tricky. I always use the power button push twice to go into camera. Didn't know that's considered "not unlocked". I even unlocked the phone first then push power button twice but no veil. Thanks for cracking the code!

Np. It's mainly for security so a random person can't just go through your gallery. Also, when you double tap the power button, your phone is actually first locked. The double tap for camera shortcut essentially works by sensing the delay between the first tap and the second tap, if it is too small, then launches camera. Otherwise, it just turns your screen on and off, locking your phone.
Edit: my XDA app seems to be out of saying with the rest of the world. There was only the OP post showing when I replied.
