[Q]{BlaY0's B 0.8.4} screen wake up

Hi, i decided to root my phone and all is fine, its running
My first question is regarding adding patched, i wish to add the stock fonts patch but have no idea how to do this
the next is the press track ball to unlock phone, when in a call, is there a way of setting it so the key pad expands automatically?
thanks for your time

You flash a patch like you flash a ROM, except you don't wipe the data when you do so.

Well, when your in a call and you move the phone away from your ear, the proximity sensor pics up this action and turns the back-lit display, my question its would it be possible to set it to automatically open the virtual keypad at the same time?
thanks

Power button options

Has anyone seen a power button mod for our tablets? I know the transformer has one. Just so that when I long press power button I can reboot or get into recovery instead of only being able to shut off the device.

root and install cwm... gives the option of shutdown, reboot, recovery, (and this is possibly just in thor's rom, but) statusbar toggler.

Yea, check out THOR's ROM. With his ROM, you press and hold the power button and are given the options to shut down, reboot, reboot into recovery, or open his special status bar mod.

Yeah but auto brightness and rotation lock don't work on Thor ROM correct?

There's an app called RomToolbox. It's designed for phones, but, it has the boot options in the app. So far, I've ran several of the options on my 501 and haven't had but 1 fc on the animation viewer.
But the boot menu seems to work.
So it seems to function, HOWEVER, some of the options I wouldn't advise using on your tab, because it's a phone app.

Quick Boot is another app specifically for reboot options. Thor's ROM is the only one I've tried that has reboot options when long pressing the power button.

Thors Revolver Rom, was originally ported from an Asus Transformer, which has those boot options. There's one other Transformer port that has it.

Just remember, there is no Fastboot with the Iconia.
It will just do a normal reboot.

There's also a paid version which allows you to hide the options you don't/can't use But yeah, the free version is good enough

Now how do I fix it so it doesn't say it's an epad?

Correct, but there is a rotation lock soft key when you click on the notification tab in the bottom right. You can also manually adjust the screen brightness here too, which is what I always did even with stock ROM.
In terms of changing the model name from EPAD, I'm not sure........ I never saw a need to change that.

Widgetsoid seems to have a hot reboot option in which it skips the Acer boot screen and starts immediately with the bootanimation. SAVES A FEW SECONDS. HAVENT NOTICED ANY ILL EFFECTS WHEN IVE TRIED IT.
It has
Power off
Normal reboot
Hot reboot
Recovery
Bootloader

check the themes and apps forum for a thread with a modified build.prop for thor's rom.
you could also manually change the build.prop yourself

yeah, I believe what it does is some sort of cache dump and restarts the android system only. as far as I understand. but yeah, it should save a touch of time off a full boot. I think the most used option, or at least that,s important to me, is the boot to recovery option. a real lifesaver!!!!

Have you tried turning it off, and leaving it off? I haven't used the delta system yet, but on my ROM/TWRP/phone, if I turn it off in recovery, then back into ROM and flash something that's not signed, the verification is still off and the flash succeeds.

... OR turn secure mode OFF.

zormij, do you know how to turn secure mode off? (I'm thinking you don't).
In System Updates hit the menu button.

Are you rooted? Are you on Stock Rooted ROM? OR Non Rooted? If you don't know these words and reading them first time..type no.

Is your N4 rooted ?

no root!

With no root, the only way to get rid of this bootloop is to factory reset, you can do it in recovery by pressing volume down + power at the same time, then you choose Recovery with the volume button. BUT you will loose everything ( pics, apps, etc. ).
But I hope that someone can give you another solution less "destructive".

Can he do a back up using ADB and then do a partial restoration after a factory reset?
Will adb backup work if the phone's not booting? .. I know that adb works when in a bootloop, but in the guide it shows a prompt to enter some encryption password ... I summon android wizards to answer this ...

adb works with no os. that's how CM installer installs CM11 through usb (ADB) even when the phone can only enter recovery

Oreo advanced reboot options missing?

Within the power menu there used to be an option to reboot to recovery. Have these been removed in the Oreo beta? I don't see them anymore

You need to enable the power menu in developer settings.

The option is called Advanced Reboot and has to be enabled in Developer Options first.

Solved thank you for the help!

Hi, I'm on nougat (xperia Z5) and i don't have the power menu in developer menu.
I'm on a custom Rom but based on stock firmware. I use the recovery very often and it's quite bothering to reboot manually in recovery.
Do you have any idea ??
Thanks

If the rom your using does not include it ... There are 3rd party apps that can do the job. I have used "simple reboot for rooted users" (available in the playstore) before and found it works very well.

I had seen that kind of app on the play store but it didn't suit me a lot.
However, I found this app "nougat/oreo quick setting" which able to add a lot of toggles in the quick setting panel.
The reboot one as every reboot possible and it's perfectly integrated in the system since it's a quick setting.

Please make sure to look at the post date, it was last year... And last year there was this option, it's only gone since ob13 which is released since 2 days, 2018...
You can do it like I described here https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...nos-beta-1-android-oreo-t3710003/post76985727 or with any other 3rd party app if you don't want to hold both buttons for some seconds.
