how to hide the network provider on smt5600?

Hi,
i would like to know how I can hide the network provider, i.e. Cingular, AT&T that's displayed on my smt5600. the reason is, i use my phone as my watch (i'm sure a lot of you do too) but the time is so tiny.... so i turned on the "large font" home screen and the time looks big enough but it's being pushed down and I'm only seeing half of the "time", because it's showing the "Cingular" above it.
just a side note, i'm also using a 3rd party software called facade to organize the schedule and the buttons, etc. this is the reason why the clock is on the bottom.
thanks.

You can use registry editor programs,for example:regedit
http://sharemobile.ro/file.php?id=98
and step by step method,100% work:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-
Software-
Microsoft-
RIL-
OperatorNames-
click to values-
click to menu and make New Value-String- and to Value name enter you code your network(ex.31410) and to Value data enter anything name you want!
Sorry for my english!

Where is the file for the " Touch Settings " ? You should start by attaching the settings file since this will be the main thread for Touch Settings

i posted detailed instructions as to how to get the "Touch Settings" program to work correctly on the Sprint Touch a few days ago. I'll re-post it over in the Vogue forum shortly

Please don't re-post this information, as I have now built a new version of the program that should work on the Sprint Touch without any special instructions required. It's been tested by Sprint users and seems to be working well so far.
You can download the beta (v1.29d) from www.fatattitude.com/software
For installation instructions please see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556
Best,
Carlos

Works great on HTC Touch! WooHoo!
Very Nice job. Very Nice, indeed.
Personally, I wanted the photo to launch the HTC Camera Album.lnk the way you can scroll with your finger & zoom, etc.
So, I created the Photos button in MediaHub to be:
\WindowsHTCAlbum.exe
Params: -mode:camera -type:image

when i try and install the settings app i get a error messsage about
"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or settings cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions"
how do i chang it so i can install and run this.. thanks

If you look at the post at the top of this page by Carlos, you'll see he says, "For installation instructions please see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556."
He also gives these suggestions:
- If you're installing to Storage Card, try installing to the Device instead.
- If you still get the error, try resetting your device and installing again - this honestly worked for me!
- Check there is enough free storage space on your device.
- Try a manual installation (zip file coming to first post shortly)
There are many posts about this in other threads, so you should be able to find the info you need.

Carlos,
Any reason to upgrade to 1.29e if d is working well?
Secondly, if we do upgrade - do you have to uninstall first? or can you overwrite the program?
I don't seem to be able to see a changes history. I'll keep looking.

carlos said there is a new touch settings version comming out soon where it will help implement animations and custom icons will show when the cube turns. WOOT. and we wont have to install the updated Exe, it will be updated for us.,.]
THANKS CARLOS!

I have spent a good deal of time getting my Sprint Touch to display my local weather by using N2A's "patched" HtcHome.dll which points at a server that does support my local weather (unlike the Htc's accuweather server). Now I would like to use 'Touch Settings' to easily customize what apps get launched from my 3x2 app launcher and the media hub buttons, but I'm not sure if I dare do this yet since I haven't seen anyone explain how 'Touch Settings' accomplishes displaying local weather.
Can anyone tell me how it does this? My concern is that it may conflict with the patched home plugin I already have working.

Hi SprintTouchGuy
Touch Settings updates the registry keys at \HKLM\Software\HTC\HomePlug\Weather\Settings
I don't think this should change your server settings etc, and it certainly won't change which .dll file your weather is pulled from.
Why not do a registry backup of that key, try out Touch Settings and if there are any problems, just restore your registry? I think you'll be OK with it.

Hi all
I have a new beta of Touch Settings v2.0 that I'd really like a couple of people to test for me, in particular people with Vogues and Touch Duals, especially pp18 and that other kind person who volunteered.
I have posted it in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556&page=20
....if you could keep feedback in that thread for now please? Feels like we have too many threads going at once otherwise and gets confusing!
Thanks,

Works great...thanks Carlos!
One thing I noticed would be interested in finding out if other Sprint Touch users are seeing: after updating my "On Demand" app launcher's button to open a different app in the mediahub, the "Demand" in the text "On Demand" is now half cut-off. I assume this text (which I would like to change anyway) is stored in the registry somewhere and is not editable via Touch Settings yet. I can spend some time researching which settings to manually change in the registry, but if you are going to add this feature soon to the app, then I won't spend the time.
Thanks again, regardless...

Hi SprintTouchGuy
Glad it's working for you! If you run Touch Settings, you should be able to click in the grey box where it says "On Demand" and change the text to anything you like... ...let me know if it doesn't work for any reason.

Thanks Carlos...I can't believe I didn't think to at least try tapping in there! (Oh me of little faith...)
Next minor issue:
I made my bottom mediahub button say "Voice Recorder", and the word "Recorder" wrapped to a second line which is half-way cut off. I see that text wraps on the middle button as well, and although it doesn't get cut off it does look off-center vertically. I don't know if there is any way to adjust the text vertically with the magic that you do, so for now I'll try to come up with one word labels for the buttons to avoid the issue.
I also am curous what parameter to use to get the HtcAlbum.exe to launch the Camera Album to display just videos, like the 2nd-row 3rd button in does in the 9 button app launcher that comes on the 3rd tab of the HTC Home plugin. Does anybody know what I need to supply? I believe there is a mode: option, but when trying "mode:video" it still only comes up displaying pictures, and it does so in portrait view, not in landscape view like it does from the app launcher (which I prefer). My apologies if this has been discussed already...thanks!

Carlos - this is kind of a QA issue with the interface. Can I make the suggestion that you change the color of that box from gray to something like yellow? The first few times I opened the app I thought it was the typical "grayed out" box -- meaning I couldn't edit it. Whereas when I see a yellow box it grabs my attention and suggests I should be doing something with it...

How to add weather locations?

I found a post detailing how to add some weather locations at http://www.avforums.com/forums/htc-mobile-phone-discussions/1081931-htc-hd2-15.html#post10873219
Original post:
Moosh said:
One of the problems that I've read is that of "My Location". After a bit of searching I found a tool that allows you to add more cities to the default list:
Manila 2.1 and 2.5 Weather Editor PPC Edition - xda-developers
Install that application to your phone and then go here AccuWeather.com - US Weather Forecast Search - Local Weather Forecasts
In the "Internation Location" enter the town/city that you live in (I'll use Worcester) and press "GO!".
Click on the relevant link (Worcester, United Kingdom (Worcestershire, England)).
In the URL you'll see loccode=EUR|UK|UK248|Worcester. We're interested in the EUR|UK|UK248|Worcester bit.
Open "Weather City Editor" on the HD2.
Choose "United Kingdom" from the "Country" drop down.
Press "Add City".
Choose (GMT) in "Time Zone".
Type Worcester in "City".
Type EUR|UK|UK248|WORCESTER in "AccuWeatherCode".
Press "Add".
At this point you can either add more cities or exit the application.
Restart your phone.
Now, go to the "Weather" application on the slide menu.
Choose "Menu" > "Add Location".
Start typing Worcester.
When you see it appear in the list, choose it (make sure it's the United Kingdom one :grin.
Press "Update Now".
Slide back to the "Home" screen and press on the clock. You should get to the "World Clock" screen.
Choose the "Worcester" radio button.
Press "Back".
It may take a few minutes for the animations to show up on the "Home" screen.

Now I was going to do this to see if it works, but to install the first app I need to go through the hassle of installing the .net compact framework, which frankly I can't be bothered to do. I did try searching through the windows directory for the xml file and found "Weather_Pages.xml" but I don't think it relates in any way to add city codes in it.
Does anyone have any idea which xml file I have to find and edit to add more location codes?
Thanks

Installing .NET framework probably takes less time than writing this post.
You have a solution - yet you choose not to use it because you're too lazy to install something that's needed anyway? Sorry, I can not understand your reasoning.

And it works very well too

AND... the author says you probably only need .Net 2.0 which is already on your phone.

Many thanks for this. Works a treat on my HD2. My Location never really worked for me in the small town I live in. This has provided a better solution. Cheers! mate.

why cant this crappy weather "my location" not just use google maps or just my f*cking GPS? Google maps finds my exact location in a sec even if I'm inside (almost everytime) and my GPS function works splendid, but the "my location" always shows some ****ty town 10 kilometres away. Its f*cking annoying. Sorry for the swearing but the h*ll were the developers thinking?????
"Okay, lets see, lets make a weather app!! yeah, good idea, lets also put in a GPS, but we should definitely not combine the two"
OMFG - I love my HTC but this app is making me dizzy, gonna disable it using duttys

I have been able to add my location and when I go to weather, it updates fine and shows the current weather. Right now it is cloudy. However, on the homepage under the clock, it keeps showing rain no matter what. The temp seems the same but the weather that is showing is not the accurate. How can I fix this?

Make sure the clock is not set to My Location, but to the same city as the weather tab.

Add locations
Been Playing with my new HD2 over the weekend and the my location works perfectly in a regional town in Australia but I can't manually add the towns into the weather tab to monior weather in nearby regional centres. The add loations only has major cities but the my location successfully finds all towns I have visited so far which arent avalable to be added as locations and returned the correct weather settings. If the my location is able to retrieve the weather there must be a way to get one of these towns permenantly added to my locations list so I can check the weather in other parts of the country outside capital cities.

My first post on this forum is a big thank you!!.
I'm very shallow and wanted the weather working or it was going back and I was going to get an iPhone instead.
Weather is now working for my town
How do I get it to display the days and weather description instead of IDS_Home_State_0 etc?
Thanks

My second post is I must learn to tell the difference between the / in a URL and the | that the instructions gave
All fixed, even happier now!

I'm sure I must appear really dumb here but where on the HD2 do I go to add my city?

Hi,
can anyone please give me a brief feedback if this tool works with the latest official rom release 1.66? Maybe he/she can even tell me his/her exp with a german device because I read alot about problems regarding sence & manila crashes in a german pocket pc forum (don't know if it is allowed to post the adress here, anyone may get it per PM). And I would appreciate to miss another hard reset
Thanks in advance!
Lars

Uhoh,
I used this app and first time it worked fine.
Second time, I've now lost the whole home screen and all options.
All I have is the start menu and icons across the top and the phone/contacts buttons at the bottom.
I assume this is because the editor disables touch flo 3d and htc sense when it starts and hasn't re-enabled them. Anyone point me in the right direction as to how to turn them back on?
Ta!
Sorted: Just had to go to the today settings and re-enable htc sense.

You have to turn Sence back on in....
Settings > Home > Items and put an X in the HTC Sence box

http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/editor/separator.gif
I've only just managed to actually find the right city codes for this!
I think the linked page has changed a bit and all the search boxes now operate by post code.
You actually have to switch to the international page and search on there rather than searching in any of the boxes.
Alternatively, just go straight to www .accuweather.com/world-index.asp

Thanks mate, I will try this program. I've been looking for a solution for this for a long time.

I've found solution! :3
This command sets live wallpaper¹:
Code:
service call wallpaper 2 i32 1 s16 "[package name]" s16 "[class name]"
This command allows to get name of active live wallpaper:
Code:
service call wallpaper 4
And this command disables it:
Code:
service call wallpaper 5
More details here²:
android/app/IWallpaperManager.java
com/android/server/WallpaperManagerService.java
¹ Application must have SET_WALLPAPER_COMPONENT permission, and this permission available only for applications from /system/. So, in your case you need superuser privileges.
² There were links to source code, but xda doesn't allow me to post it. You can found it yourself — just search "grepcode [filename]" in google.

Ps your English is better then mine. I m from italy, And you?

Here's the script (.txt, because it is a very strange forum). Without arguments script disables live wallpapers, overwise sets livewallpaper - first arguments is package name, second is class name. For example:
Code:
/data/lwmgr.sh com.h6ah4i.android.music_visualizer2 com.h6ah4i.android.music_visualizer_wallpaper.MusicVisualizerWallpaperService
Don't forget to copy script into right place and set right permissions.

I really would like to get Live Wallpaper switching to work. I tried entering the txt into the shell but it doesn't work or return the correct values. Could you help me out?

I found this solution really good until kitkat , but now with lollipop does not work anymore , someone is able to change the codes ? I use a rom based cm now but I tried it with the stock without any results .
knows maybe an alternative method ?

At least only with paid app and rooted phone, search Automagic, it work for my N4 with any Rom [emoji3]

The evaluation version doesn't work for me on lollipop. I didn't take to much time to look into it though since u found an other solution. The LW I use has its own ui so starting that and only 2 tasker input button clicks it sets it. Not a nice solution as the screen needs to come on and user input can disturb the action. But to have an other app running for just this purpose isn't a great solution too. Especially since I want to disabled my LW to save battery when it gets low.
---------- Post added at 07:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 AM ----------
Hopefully somebody with more knowledge about these things then me will figure out three correct command line for lollipop and post it here

Lollipop fix
If that isn't working on new versions like lollipop try just changing the 2 to a 3: service call wallpaper 3.. The addition of a function to set the keyguard wallpaper bumped it down to 3.

how do you make it work on nougat?
it's throwing an "error: 10" at the end of the shell command. it does work on my old phone ( kitkat )
i've tried with both 3 as well as 2 and both give the error: 10
this is the last 3 lines of the output text.
add wait type shell1 done
add wait task
Error: 10
any ideas how to make it work ?

Not working on Samsung Galaxy Note 8 on Nougat 7.1.1 rooted
Hello,
I was using Tasker in my rooted Elephone running on android Marshmallow for automatically changing the live wallpaper on 'time+date'schedule using RUN SHELL command as described in this forum successfully.
Now I bought Samsung Galaxy Note 8 on Nougat 7.1.1 Stockrom, rooted using TWRP< superSU. Tasker has been granted SuperSU permission also. I have exported my tasker profiles from Elephone to Sansung, also it shows green lines at the end of each task. it fails to execute the task .I am very much disappointed. This is the only way to automate live wallpaper changing in Android.
So kindly help me how to solve this problem.
Thanking You

.
Here I will detail how I set up the automatic change of live wallpaper using Tasker. It can work only in rooted phone either by Magisk or SuperSu
First you have to install two applications from Play store
1-' Application Information'- to get the Package name of live wallpapers you have already installed
2- 'Disable service- to get the service name of the wallpaper. Some live wallpapers have more than one service name. The one comes with Wallpaper'in the last liine will be the one we have to enter in the Run Shell command. The other way to find it is just deselect the tick mark one by one in Disable service, then look for the disappearance of that live wallpaper from the live wallpaper picker screen. The service causing the disappearance is what we want to enter in the Run Shell command
Set up a profile - Name it -for Example LWC
then select 'EVENT'- select Date and time set- then it will ask for a task
Name the Task eg: Live wallpaper
Then it opens Task Edit
Select -RUN SHELL-
Put the following command in the Run Shell
service call wallpaper 5 i32 1 s16 ---------------------------- s16 --------------( fill the first dash area the package name you are copying from The Application Information APk, and the second one the service package obtained from the Disable Service Apk as described above. This number '5'is for Oreo rom, if you go downwards to Nougat make it '4', if you go above to Pie make it '6'.)
You have tick the root option in the next line
Then in then ' If', choose what variables you want to choose. As I choose date and time , I selected ' Day of the month' for the first variable then' equals' to the number of the day of the month eg:1 for the first day
Then again press the plus button of the variable, selected 'Time' made it 'greater than' -then put the time in this format- 09.00 for nine o' çlock in the morning. Tasker will only accept the time in 24 hour format
Those who have finger print or pattern lock, this may not work properly when the display off and phone locked. To make this work in this condition, we have to make another 2 profiles
Name of profile -anything you like- select State- Display -Display state edit- make it off
then add the task we already created eg: Live wallpaper in the this prfile
Make another profile- Name it- then select ' Event'- then 'Monitor'- then select the task 'live wallpaper changer
If you set up all these profile , you can see your live wallapapers changing according to a schedule you created.
Thank you

Settings Database Editor tweaks

I've been playing around with an app called "Settings Database Editor" and found some very cool tweaks that don't require root. It does require you to run "adb shell pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" on a computer though. Also sidenote, I'm not the creator of this app just stumbled across it on the play store and found some really cool things that it enables you to tweak on the S8.
In the tab "global" there are values for "transition_animation_scale", "animator_duration_scale", and "window_animation_scale" if you have development options enabled then you're probably familiar with these settings but with this you can tweak it to the exact scale you'd like instead of being limited to 7 different preset scales.
And in the tab "global" there is a value called "display_size_forced" by looking at the value set it seems to be what Settings -> Display -> Screen resolution is set to, maybe this will allow a wider range of resolutions instead of the 3 presets we get?
There's a bunch more tweaks, it's worth a look through

And in the tab "global" there is a value called "display_size_forced" by looking at the value set it seems to be what Settings -> Display -> Screen resolution is set to, maybe this will allow a wider range of resolutions instead of the 3 presets we get?
There's a bunch more tweaks, it's worth a look through

Are you able to change the quick toggles to less than 6? :silly:

Yup there if you look there is an option called qs_tile_column, qs_tile_row, and qs_tile_column_landscape under secure. Just make sure not to set it to 1 otherwise SystemUI will go into a crash loop and renders your phone completely useless until you use adb to change the settings back. If you don't have usb debugging on you may be forced to do a factory reset

So I cant have just one row of tiles? Also, just a bit confused on how to actually use the app. I plus my phone into my PC and run some command in CMD? I just want like a 1*4 (x,x,x,x) How would I add tiles back if I wanted them?

The crash might only happen with columns, don't really want to mess up my daily driver again

You do know in developers settings you can change the dpi to what ever you want?

You're mistaken, display_size_forced isn't the dpi.

Changing the number of QS columns is totally possible using the System UI Tuner app in the Play Store, I've successfully changed mine to 7 columns, but I've also tested it with as little as 3 columns.

i was hoping this tool would allow me to change the default sms app to hangouts, however, the editor is not preserving my change (and yes, i issued the required command). does anyone have a suggestion to fix this? thanks.

Google took out support for hangouts as an SMS app the end of may. It is no longer possible to use hangouts with an actual phone number unless it's a Google voice number

You can use this method to change the default install location. Just throwing that out there, it's under Global in the app. You can also add your own settings, if I knew what the hell I was doing I'd add them, but have to imagine if I play around with Tasker or extract activities and intents from other apps that use secure settings, etc... This might give us at least some flexibility. I am beyond frustrated with lack of root on this phone, coming from LG v10, I was really relying on the Galaxy community to come through on this device. Still holding out hope.

I also just used this to turn off the Brightness Warning, under Global I went to "limit_brightness_state" and changed "80, 80" to "100,100"... warning gone.

The new Update from T-Mobile broke the changes I made here in quick settings. It's now just a blank box entirely. Damn
Nevermind went in and change to 5 and then back to 7 and all is well again

Noticed this too but not until after I got recent tmo update. I haven't had a chance to troubleshoot but it's either related to the update or the setting reverts on reboot. Seems like one of those settings it'd be better to change with a script on boot. Man I miss root. I had successfully changed all settings again after tmo update but reboot killed it. I'm gonna try grant permissions via adb again to see if the settings will stick at some point...ah well

I haven't updated on tmobile and it still happened. I believe it's a on reboot thing. What's weird is in the app it still shows my settings to 100,100. I'm going to try to set it again to see if its an error in the app showing wrong values. Because I notices when you change the tether requirement to 0, it always switches back to 1
Update: I just checked the app and now it's showing null for my limit brightness again. Put it back to 100, 100 and its working fine. Will try to see if it sticks on reboot
Double update : settings stayed after boot

It's weird man. One thing I noticed would looking into something else was that under apps inactive app in developer settings the database editor was some how set to inactive. I'm guessing it could be a battery thing maybe due to power saving settings. Maybe need to turn off all battery optimization for this. I'll gonna hopefully used Tasker to automate changes at boot and keep active.

Add personal mode tile
I want to add PersonalMode using the same procedure.
Plz can you help me with the exact string to add in setting db

try adding or moding this setting under (secure) without quotes "sms_default_application" and the setting value is
"com.google.android.apps.hangoutsdialer" if you use the hangouts dialer.. if not then "com.google.android.talk" for hangouts..

I'm not sure if this will work, but try setting it back to defaultand install systemui tuner and messing with the immersive mode setting. Also, enable the touch bar (the new Oreo setting that gives you the circle that acts like the soft keys.)
Why did you even disable that in the first place? If you want it fully back, you have to reset your phone.
