Location Manager 1.2
This is my first yet-to-be-published app in the android forum so I am excited to see how it goes. I have thoroughly tested it on my HTC Aria but I would like to see the results on other phones. The idea is as follows:
IDEAAssume that you take your phone to different to different places and you are annoyed of turning off wifi, turning on gps and placing your phone on vibrate whenever you go to certain places. This program simply lets you keep specific profiles for specific places (such as your home, school or workplace). This saves you time, patience, as well as battery.
For example, I go to school and I turn off my gps, my wifi, and my Sound. When I go to work, I normally keep my sound on, my gps off, and my wifi on. I keep this program running and it simply takes the location from gps/wifi/cell tower(whichever is on) and it lets you program locations using an address and if it sees that I am there, it will run that profile. Thankfully, it also lets my override my profiles just in case I want to use google maps in school or keep my sound on at work.
Version ControlVersion 1.0 - The first version which has basic functionality with wifi and sound control. The settings page exists but does not function. The next version will have bluetooth support and full settings functionality.
Version 1.2 - This version has new icons and has functionality for settings page. Everything in the app should now work but may not
HelpPlease post on this thread whether this app works for you or if you are having difficulties.
Downloads (also available below to xda users)Version 1 - http://bit.ly/qW4l0A
Version 1.2 - http://bit.ly/pxCzUZ
Thanks for downloading my app
i always wanted something like that
On my HTC Inspire I get a force-close when I try to "add location" -> "update map".
@Gene Pool - I just discovered that stupid error. Ill fix it in the next version, but basically you are supposed to enter the address first and then press update to update the map. In the next version Ill make it say that
Giving it a go go on Samsung galaxy s2 running villianrom 2.0
Installed, sadly getting FC´s when starting the app
If anyone is willing to try a super unstable (yet newer) version of the app, please try out the following apk file. The settings page does not work but it fixes several gps fixing bugs which relate to the force closes.
-Thank You
Seems like I had to turn on GPS BEFORE starting the app. Now it force closes when choosing to add a location
Ive tried the beta version you posted, everything works except from adding a location, it still fc's on me.
Thanks for the hard work, it's time for a easy to use alternative to tasker
I tried the latest version, but I couldn't see the map. I can press Update Map, but no map appears. Just an empty raster.
On my wildfire I can't read the text at bottom(at main screen), it says "Settings page does not work yet. This is the alpha version."
There is some text below that, but it doesn't fit on my screen. And in landscape I can't see anything below Longitude.
On the about screen, I can't look further than "keeping unnecessary things running" on portrait.
I think it's better to put About and Settings into Menu, because most of the time you won't need it.
When adding/editting a location it's a little bit confusing. I think I'd prefer a dropdown menu for wifi/sounds. Values like: Wifi on, Wifi off, don't change.
When you leave the Profile Name empty, it'd be nice to get a default value.
When I press "Edit locations", and then use my back button, the application closes. I'd like to go back to main screen instead. When I open Edit Locations after adding locations/reading about/settings, and I press back button I need to press it serveral times, but nothing happens. After a few times it closes the application.
And I prefer imagebuttons instead of "edit" button, I'd be nice to have the edit button on the right.
It looks like your using LinearLayout with default Horizontal orientation. RelativeLayouts would be beter in some cases.
Latest comment, I think normal users don't care about his/her current Latitude/Longitude/Accuracy data. I think you could remove that.
Ok, that's it for now. I hope you can use some of my feedback
EDIT: Another bug, I need to kill the application to prevend it from using my GPS 24/7. I can't stop it the normal way. Also, I think it's better to use a service instead of Activity for things like this.
I Cant thank you guys enough for helping test the app. Anyway, I will apply those feedback into a new version and post again. Also, would you say the first one is better or the second one? I tested the new version today while going to work and I discovered several errors in GPS acquisition.

EDIT:
Version 1.2 just got released - please try it out and it has incorporated several of the features you guys suggested.
Looks better than previous versions. But...Is there a way to delete locations?
Next one will have that and Bluetooth and backlight settings.

First and foremost thanks to wildstang for the how to for this mod. His original thread can be found here. He told me a long time ago I should do this on the Eris and I kept putting it off lol. I've made mods up for a handful of ROM's so far and will do more as I have the time or on a per request basis.
For starters here is a little about this mod:
1. What does this do?
This modifies the services.jar file located in system/framework, that allows you to have an un-throttled data access. You don't have to worry about modifying anything yourself.
2. Will this make my Data faster?
In some cases, YES. This has NO effect on actual phone signal. This only takes the throttle off, so you can download, or play games and not have to worry about it hitting a certain peak and lagging from that point on.
3. If I flash this, will it break my phone?
Sort-of. This will cause Force Closes when you try to select Mobile Network in Settings. Thats the only thing you should notice. You can still kill Data with a widget or any other sort-of alternative way you want to. This should not physically harm your phone though.
4. Will this work on any ROM?
Yes. This is not based off a particular ROM, and can be used with ANY HTC Droid Eris ROM. ALTHOUGH If you're Dev has made changes to the services.jar file, this could wipe those changes out. If you are unsure, ask your dev. In any case you may send me your services.jar and I will look at it for you.
Recommended Install procedures:
1. Place Rom on my SD Card along with DTR.
2. Reboot into Recovery.
3. Wipe everything that is supposed to be wiped.
4. Flash Rom.
5. REBOOT THE PHONE.
6. Skip setup and go straight to settings.
This part is important!!!
7. Go into Settings/Wireless & networks/Mobile Networks.
8. I set my data to always connected and data roaming on. Set yours to your preferences now.... keep in mind once you flash the DTR you will not be able to access this menu! Thats why its important to do it now!
9. Reboot into Recovery.
10. Flash the DTR and reboot the phone.
The key is to do all of this as quickly as possible. The reason why is because as soon as you boot your phone, your phone will start syncing. Its syncing your contacts and other stuff as well. Some of that other stuff also includes where you are on your usage of your data plan. If it detects that you are over limit it will then activate the throttle process. A little more on this. This DTR does not actually REMOVE the throttle per say. It simply removes the files that the phone system uses to BUILD the throttle. Without the needed throttle files the phone won't be able to set up the throttle which in turn means you will be running at full network data speed. Now do you see why this is important to do this quickly?

so just to be clear, if I never approach my data limit and therefore do not my get data connection throttled by Verizon, this patch will not do anything to benefit my general 3g data speed, correct?

I get a much better performance in my 3g speeds with this mod on my incredible. The ones that tested for me on the Eris said the same. Web pages loaded faster for them and streaming media was much better as well.

This and zepp's 3g turbocharger
Do I need to stop turbocharger before I flash this? and is this any different than the turbocharger? I did not see much of a difference on the turbocharger, and should I clear cache before I flash?

No you don't and no they aren't. Turbocharger for the most part is build prop tweaks to boost the data connection. This is a modification of the smali files within services.jar to remove the android internal data throttle.

seems like it is only google voice search.
It did make a difference, but you said that we can't access the menu of the mobile network. I went and clicked in there and I did not see a crash. is it that I can't change anything?

Supra kinda got put on hold for a little bit but I'm getting ready to start working on it again this weekend. Cm is running real smooth but has a bt issue I'm trying to straighten out. It's been a bug in the cm build for a couple of months now though. My personal favorite of my 3 roms for dinc is 666. It's based on the gb update and is every bit as smooth and fast as cm imo. Look forward to seeing you over there. You'll love the phone. It's sweet

Edit: Volume Stepping Mod fixed! More Mods Added!! See second post for new Mods.
Hello, my name is Doc....and I am a recovering lurker!
First post ever here! (Would that be Step 2 or 3 in the recovery program???)
Anyhow, I have been lurking around XDA for quite some time now, mostly just absorbing A LOT of fantastic information, and although it is not much I thought it was time I shared back!
Please keep in mind, that I can offer no promise of support. (These are mods I did for myself and figured others may appreciate them.) The main reason I have never participated here before is time, as in I don't have much of it! (Single Dad, 2 jobs, and all that jazz) I will do my best to help out (and keep contributing), but there will often be periods of time where I simply will not be around to respond. I am not trying to be an ass, just honest and up front. If there are any issues with what I share, I don't want people getting angry because the OP wasn't around to fix his stuff!
I have been using these for a few weeks now and have had no real problems, so I am fairly confident that they should work for the rest of you. Once I reach my 10 post limit I will move these into the Development section since it seems that very few people even vist these other areas anymore. I will also post links to the original threads where I got the mods.
If any of these have already been done for our phones please let me know. And of course, if anyone knows of a better way, or has any ideas, please do share!
Link to downloads are at bottom of post.
Remember, these are for STOCK FROYO!

Remap Faves button to Settings (Rosie.apk) -(Thanks/Credit to the1wingedangel)-
I know there are quite a few of these already out there, but have not seen one made to go into Settings. I find I use it quite often and it has been very convenient for me. Hopefully someone else may find it usefull as well.
Smooth Spinners (Framework-res.apk) -(Thanks/Credit to D.O.C)-
This is simple eye-candy, but I like it a lot! It does what it implies...Smooths out the rotation of the spinning circles displayed while loading.
(NOTE: This mod is in Framework-res.apk, so if you are themed, you may not want to flash this) (I will post the modded smali files later on so you can do a simple copy paste and keep your themes intact)
Volume Stepping Increase and Smooth Scroll (Framework.jar) -(Thanks/Credit to AndroidON)-
The Smooth Scroll portion of this will disable ScrollingCache for the whole system. Apparently it was not implemented as well as it should have been and I find my Slide really likes having it disabled. (i.e. Under Settings > Applications > Manage Apps - when scrolling through the list of apps, it is very very smooth! No more skipping or hesitating!)
The volume portion will not increase the max volume of your Slide, but will allow finer control over the volume. It changes:
Media, Bluetooth and TTS from 15 to 30 volume steps;
Ringtone from 7 to 15 volume steps;
Voice Call from 5 to 10 volume steps. (I am uncertain what this changed, as in-call and speakerphone volume remains unchanged. I assume this may be overridden by another setting or it is not applicable to the custom ROM I am using. If anyone knows more about this, please share your knowledge!)

Thanks to everyone here at XDA!
ENJOY!
Extended Power Menu - All In One Zip - Decompiled files for Framework-res.apk
Here are a couple of more Mods...
All mods are flashable through CWM.
Extended Power Menu (Reboot) (android.policy.jar and com.htc.resources.apk) -(Thanks/Credit to ca1ne)-
My personal fave! This will add an extended power menu...Long press the power button and you will see an extra option, Reboot! Select this and you will get a second menu to choose the type of reboot. Choose from Normal, Hot Restart, Bootloader, or Recovery.
I do plan on uploading one without the htc.resources.apk for those that have already modded this file. The only reason it is included is for the Reboot icon. I made this icon for myself, but it is possible to default it to the generic Settings Gear icon you may have seen on similar mods, which would remove the need for including the extra file.
AllMods.zip - This is all of the mods I have listed so far, in one flashable file.
In my download folder, you will notice a few other items:
SmoothSpinnersMod_Themed.zip and AllMods_Themed.zip - These are the exact same mods, only the framework-res.apk is the one I personally use. (Others provided have not been themed). It isn't much, but I used UOT (Thanks to them of course!!) to spice up my Status Bar a little. Replaced many of the white status icons with prettier colored ones, changed the stock spinner to a Radar spinner, and included the Circle Battery with %.
I had it, so I figured I'd share it!
SmoothSpinners Files.zip - If your framework-res is already modded/themed, this is for you. Unzip the files, decompile your framework-res and copy/paste the files from my zip to: framework-res.apk/res/drawable/ Recompile. Thats it.
I know these are fairly minor mods, but I wanted to put them out there anyway in case someone is interested. I do hope someone finds some good use in these.
There are a few other mods I have attempted, but could not get to work on Froyo. I will likely be making the move to SalsaSlide sometime this week. (Finally, right??) Anyway, I plan to bring all of these over to GB as well as a few others I have been working on, so stay tuned!
Downloads: min.us/mEspresso < copy/paste in browser.
I know that these are for Froyo, which is probably not being used by very many people here anymore, but I am curious if anyone has even tried any of them and if so what did you think?

Hey guys i was looking arroun xda and stumbled appon this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1961353.
EDIT: TESTED DOES NOT WORK!!
It says it
-Increase internet speed (EDGE, 3G, WLAN, VPN). Works with all browsers including Opera with all APNs.
- Compressing pages and then decompressing for less data usage & smooth browsing.
- Bypass slow downloads and let you full speed downloads from some file sharing site which requires premium account for fast downloads. Like depositfiles etc.
- Boosting network signal strength so to have no call drops.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have been running iy for about 7 hours now, and have to say that it does do some of what it claims.
3g speed seems to have increased and remain steady at over 1mbps. However wifi (wlan) seems no faster but no worse either. I did not test vpn as i do not have one setup.
The browser compression also seems to work, as pages load quicker. It also seems the whole page loads all at once instead of piece by piece.
The full speed downloads dosent seem to work, at least not from depositfiles.
The network signal boot also dosent work, as my db's are the same as usual, high 80s to low 90s.
Even though several things dont seem to work, they dont break anything either. I think just for the 3g tweak and browser compression, it is worth it. Also i know it says for android 2.3.6+, but works fine on 2.3.4.
I don't expect much from these type of tweaks and think they're more placebo than anything. There's nothing on the ROM side that can improve signal.
Browser compression sounds like an interesting idea. If you're familiar with the protocol rsync, it can use compression to transfer and use less bandwidth. However, I haven't heard of compression remote webpages prior to sending them which is really the only way this would logically work. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
The 3g speed tweak I'm also wary of. I think it may be placebo as network speeds vary and Verizon can already achieve 1mbps+ on their network.
As far as the bypassing slow downloads, that's definitely possible; however, it sounds wrong.
The only differences between Android 2.3.6 and 2.3.4 are a few bug fixes.
Edit: A little extra feedback after viewing the script.
I don't think any of the service lines will actually work as some of these look designed for init.rc, not init.d which is shell scripts.
As far as the network signal strength booster, it calls a legacy device script (goldfish which is the emulator and not a real device).
Not sure about the speed tweaks or slow download bypassing.

The browser compression and 3g seem to work, pages load faster and seem snappier. I know vzw is capable of 1mbps, but i rarley ever got half that before the tweak. Now i get it consitentlty at all times of the day. I dont think its placedo, and the the poll on that thread suggest people are happy with it. Its worth a shot if you have some free time. And its easy to remove if you dont like it, just delete 2 files and a folder

Lol, never even thought of trying that. Your right i het the same error. The init-goldfish.sh file that the init.d script runs also fails on execution, but that is a stock system file. I wonder why my 3g speeds are better? Im getting double what i usually get, and its actually consistent and not bouncing all over the place. Mabey vzw put up a new tower or something. And i guess with increased speed the browser would seem snappier. Oh well thought i stumbled on something cool, but its just garbage i guess. Thanks for clearing it up tiny.

According to the dev, the ( error is ok.
So, if you want to test it again to verify, type getprop and see if anything shows from the tweaks script as far as the setprop lines. I have a feeling nothing will but I want to validate 100% that this doesn't work.
I've done some testing on my own by making shell scripts and confirming an error should not bomb out the whole script but just abort at the point of the error.
But really, this thing does nothing, even zeppelinrox shot it down.

well i can i went to the internet and typed in samsung aod apk and downloaded 1.7.3.4 and when in google play and downloaded fx files explorer with the root add on for it then went into sysyem root found priv app the aodservice and deleted everything that was in folder and copied my new aod in then added a second copy of it as well i named one AODService.apk and named the second one AODService.apk.bak and set both security permissions to 644
and taa daa it works you can go to settings turn it on open it up change clocks etc and even see it on the lock screen know but the problem is that its very dim hard to see it
anyone in here with more knowledge then me to go into the xml settings or what ever you call it to change the brightness setting or what ever so you can actually see it better on the lock screen
lots of people could not even get it to the lock screen or even get it to turn on i figured that all out just need someone with more knowledge now to fix the brightness of it and we will all have working aod

Just to sum the situation up:
These bugs are known. Yes, with proper apk's you can get it to show up. With an XPosecd module you can change the brightness, but in the end it breaks autobrightnes completely. After AOD activates, your phone won't change brightness anymore.
All in all, you could get it to work somehow, but if you plan to use your display in varying brightnesses you won't be happy. I've invested several days worth of research. I just accepted the fact, that samys AOD won't work on our device right now.

Can you point me at the xposed modules that you're talking about?
I'm always using my n910f at maximum brightness so for me is not a probleem to break autobrightness.
Thanks in advance.
