SpoonTorch - Fullscreen torch application
Introduction
Does your phone or PDA not have an external light on it? Do you want to use your phone's screen as a light?
This app lets you quickly create a white screen to use as a torch.
Features
* Single tap of the screen to make the whole screen turn white. Tap again for the menu. (v1.17 closes the app)
* Switching to fullscreen, backscreen brightness is set to maximum. Old settings are restored when fullscreen is exited.
* Minimise to program menu. So you can quickly switch between this and Windows Mobile itself, without closing the app.
* Lightweight application. Fast loading: no graphical effects or sounds.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention, I did some googling and searching on here, but I didn't try hard enough
The only feature that app supports, is different colour screens - which I'll add to the next version.
My app supports tapping the screen to go fullscreen (providing even more light than Flashlight), as well as quick minimising (so it runs in the background when you dont need it). I'll add these details to the first post.
Thanks
thanks for this app, it's possible to set backlight to max power when launched and restored to previous setting when minimized ?
+1 for this. if You'll manage to make it change the brightness to the max in full screen and then to restore it back to what it was in the menu, then for me this app is a winner. I personally don't really care bout different colors, but proper bright white light is something great.
keep up the good work!
thanks
Thanks bronx and calcop.
Yes, I noticed the same thing when at the cinema today using this app.
I will try and get powersaving screen brightness to be turned on/off.
Edit: found it! It's a really easy regkey tweak... new version coming soon.

i have searched a program who can do it but i never find it
Version 1.1 is uploaded. Now sets brightness to maximum in fullscreen mode. Reverts back on exit.
Could You make it mappable to hotkey so with single button You could get the white fullscreen? Or is it already?
now it is just great, works exactly as it should. thanks again.
thanks for the release

Actually Flashlight IS a fullscreen app. It also does Morse code (very useful) and various flashing different patterns (fairly useless).
But, there is definitely no harm in having two of the same type of apps. Especially one that is being actively worked on. I might request that you make the ability to have a customizable scrolling message or one that shows up when you wave the phone back and forth.
Looks awesome. Thank you.
unfortunately on my blackstone(WM6.1) the backlight level doesn't change
Thanks for the usefull app
Thanks for the feedback guys.
I'll see if I can add a global hotkey, should be pretty easy.
New version is out now (see first post) - this is better at setting the backlight, and stops the light timeout while in fullscreen.
If you had problems with the last version, try this.
@nagrom
the morse code didnt work for me... in my HD the keyboard didnt pop up... and the brightnes didnt change to max
@dotnecoder
something funny happen... when i went to fullscreen my brightness went to min...
i am using htc hd.
hope you fix it soon... and if you add the morse code or the scrolling text it will be great.

Ah, I think I know what could be causing that - if the setting for max brightness isnt in your registry, it will go to zero I'll fix that in the next version.
Edit: uploaded a new version which should fix your problem.

Hey, I have a Samsung Intrepid with WM6.5 320x240.
Installed your program, asked me for a license code after I clicked on the icon. I did not have a license code, due to only wanting to try it. So, I clicked the close button, and researched a little to why it asked that. Tried to go back by clicking the icon once again and nothing happened. Uninstalled and reinstalled it numerous times and every attempt after I click the program's icon, nothing happens.
If an update is still in the pipeline this app would be a gem. At last something finger-friendly to replace AdvancedConfig. Just waiting for the WQVGA version as well now
Hi
Nice work on getting this app together, but...
On a stock SEA 6.5 ROM on a TP2, the finger friendly thing does not work.
The stock ROM allows for Explorer to be scrolled with your finger natively, but not something like 'Notes'.
I was hoping your app would add that functionality, but it doesn't seem to.
Cheers

Hi,
Whens the next release? Im thinking of buying but there has been no updated for ages, and most of these things can be found in the registry.
will there be any updates or is this dead?
Thanks

can you please tell me the registry value to modify to have this on?
1.SMS Sent Message - If OFF, this option will disable the SMS sent message.
and this also on?
In Call Recording - If ON, this option will allow call recording, see the option available when making a phone call. The recording will be saved in My Voices.

These mods have now be included in CM-5.0.5. So I have taken down the links. Please download CM-5.0.5 and install. If you have issues with it then post them here please.
I would first like to thank those that have helped me along the way. Thanks ChainsDD for helping me realize Android development isn't that hard. Thanks Cyanogen for the awesome roms and for the inspiration to innovate. Love your cool features. And lastly thanks to all the other devs for the great mods (optedOblivion and arctu to name a few)
Alright on to the details.
The mod has options to turn them on or off, but they cannot be used together. This is by design because if you are skipping songs and the screen wakes up then you are wasting battery and taking events away from the lock screen. (May change this later if you guys want)
1st Mod: (TrackballWake)
- Allows the user to wake the screen using the trackball (No extra apps its built-in to OS)
- Option is under the System Settings -> Sound & Display -> Trackball Settings -> Trackball wakes screen
- Option is off by default
2nd Mod: (TrackballSkip)
- Allows the user to skip to the next song if music is playing and the screen is off.
- This is done by double-tapping the trackball while the screen is off.
- A double-tap is two consecutive presses within about half a second.
- Option is under Music App -> Settings -> Use trackball to skip
- Option is off by default
Two different versions now:
1) trackball-SuccessW-WSv01.zip - This includes the Successive Notifications v0.4
2) trackball-NoSuccessW-WSv01.zip - This does not include Successive Notification v0.4
This should fix the force close issues for people as the previous version had a new implementation of Successive Notifications which apparently has some bugs. If you have problems with Successive Notifications then post in that thread please.
If you get a force close or unexpected behavior, please put it on pastebin.com and post the link on this thread. Please include which version you are using and what happened.
Donation:
Please donate if you like my work. It helps keep me motivated and working hard on Android.
Install:
- Nandroid Backup
- Simple install CM-5.0.5
Again, note for now you cannot use these two mods together (and TrackballWake takes precedence)
Source is on Github now.
Saving for potential changelog if need be.
Very impressive man
You are a lifesaver. Since my power button has gone south, I don't have a way to keep a lockscreen (using keyguard disabler) and cut the screen off after it has been cut on, is there any way that you could remap another button to power it off?
Giving it a try!
Will edit with results.
Edit: Seems to be working fine so far, been waiting forever for this mod. It reverted some of the changes I have had from BakedGoods (clock font color, etc)
HAWT! I've been wanting to be able to turn it on with the trackball! WOOT... I'm trying now.
Does this turn the screen on when you move the track ball or on a trackball click?
sounds nice! will definitely use the 1st one!

Here is a services.jar for this that has been modded to clock, date, and roam/network to white. just remove everything after .jar and push to framework then reboot.

There is one that you can flash in recovery. Nandroid first for cmoa reasons.
So many thanks, is what I've expecting sice I bought my nexus.
i can't wait to see this on github

why dont you change the trackballskip to volume rocker? so you can use both at same time

How would you distinguish between a volume change and a song skip or previous? Seeing as the volume buttons do work while the phone is sleeping.

loving your work,thanks so much..been waiting for this since i bought my n1
trying it now.... thanks!
Made my day
Double post
Works great. Thanks. Here are some suggestions:
1) Make it so a second click then unlocks the screen. I got used to doing that with the menu button when I had my Magic.
2) Make it so a volume button double-click changes tracks. I had this feature on a Sony Ericsson phone once.
Guys I think we all should help each other by sharing the best apps and games you've been using yourself and believe that will help other Quattro owner to enjoy the device to the fullest. Please do share them along with the benefits/fun you got using it.
Let me start a few from my end.
1. Smart Screen ON: This app has helped me alot to turn the backlight on without pressing the home button making it safer from early wear and tear. This is surely help you guys as well. :good:
2. Air-Call Accept: It a great app with very limited features, Turn it on. And when there a is a call swipe your hand over the phone or accept or reject the call or you may straight away put the phone close to your ears to answer the phone. (The best thing of it I like). Try it and you'll love it. :victory:
3. Lux Lite - Auto Brightness App: Again one of my favourite apps. You can select camera as an sensor for detecting light and it will auto adjust the screen brightness. Love the way it works. Read complete HOW TO use the app and you'll understand it more.
4. Photo Editor by Aviary: Quick and precise phone editor I've ever used. I use many others too but believe me this is real quick for our phone and have many options to use for editing photos. You can also add memes to the images .Try it.
5. Clean Master (Cleaner) - FREE: Again this is a great app that helps you maintain your phone better and make you stop complaining about its speed and lags and all. It is necessary to clean up the unnecessary cache files to make the phone work smoother. This app serves the purpose. :highfive:
Now, You cannot miss an app that everyone wants it first when they buy a phone. (Best Battery Saver)
According to me that app is Du Battery Saver free.
6. DU Battery Saver & Widgets: Haven't tried many other battery saver apps, but I will share the one that I'm very comfortable with and hope when you use, you'll be at ease too. This app does the work that is expected from it. The various Modes help alot in setting up the battery accordingly. There is not regret in using it since I bought my phone in early May 2013 just few days after its launch.
I hope these apps will help you maintain your phone better. Some of you might already be using it, if yes, please don't think the post is boring. I've tried to help the others who don't know about these apps.:good:
Thanks and Cheers to all happy and to be happy owners of this phone (Galaxy Grand Quattro).
Use the Swipe Home Button App- with that you can customise the swipe to make it work like the home button, as a result you do not have to long press the Home button to view running apps...hence this app takes a lot of load off the physical home button
Nice app ! ! !

A Very decent app it is for all of us. :good:
I'm already using the gesture controls of Nova Prime Launcher and this started conflicting a bit with previous gesture controls.
But this is really a great app with multiple gestures performing various frequently using tasks. Keep it up. :victory:

why dont u try the same by using gravity box then using any app..,also gravity box has many tweaking as i moded the long press of the menu button to load previous app which gives some fun of multi window also the long press of the back button has the same function as that of long press of the home button.....
I'm using Lux and it works very well using front camera! Most auto-brightness apps don't have this feature (they require light sensor instead). But I didn't get how SMART SCREEN ON works...

How to:
Sorry not able to upload images. I forgot usb cable somewhere.... :silly:
Step 1. Install and tap on the icon and click on BASIC. Tick Enable Smart Screen ON (SSON), Start on boot and Hide icon (if you want).
Step 2. Tap on wave hand mode. Tap set automatic value, now wave your hand over the device the way you want the lights to go ON. Means wave hand once and tap I like these values, if you want the lights to turn on in single wave. Or wave twice and select I like these Values
And ofcourse turn that feature ON.
Step 3. Only if you need. Tap and swipe On. This does the same thing as a hand wave does, but instead of hand wave you tap once on the sensor or swipe your finger across it.
Step 4. Now tap Save and restart app. And you are ready to go. :fingers-crossed:
When done. Screen off your phone and wave hand over the phone. And the backlight will turn on, so that you can atleast see the any notifications you received.
Note: SSON sometimes don't work because it supports devices without screen lock better than devices with screen lock turned ON. This is very rare when it doesn't work. Maybe once in every 15 or 20 times. Pretty decent, Isn't it?
Cheers :good:
Wow! It's so cool! Thanks for tutorial! Works perfectly.
Hi i want to share what apps i use in my GT-I8552. ill be very brief and simple.
1. Tasker - i use this app for:
~Automatically changing my wallpaper. (i have a parameter to save battery).
~Sound and light profile. (i use this to change modes, Day/Night mode).
~Removing my PIN LOCK when i am home.
~Automatically put my phone in Power Saving Mode
~Automatically Turn On my GPS for Specific Apps
~Automatically Turn Off my GPS/WIFI/Bluetooth after sometime of inactivity (or even i turn it on, it will check if i am using this functions or not)
~Automatically Turn On Screen Rotate for specific apps (buggy or i just dont really like my screen to rotate).
Note: i used an extension for some settings the app named -Secure Setting-
2. Foldersync - i love this app even though it can be used with tasker but the app alone is awesome! i use this to sync my music/pictures/video to different cloud storage. but in music i use 2way function because i am downloading music in my pc and i just want my phone to sync wirelessly.
3. Camera Zoom FX <- Awesome for taking pictures (if you can suggest better app why not? )
4. Adaway
5. Titanium Backup
Thanks will be appreciated ! ! !

X Screen Stabilizer
ROOT REQUIRED
XPOSED FRAMEWORK REQUIRED
If You don't know What is XPOSED Framework then do not try this application (it wont work)
Have you tried to read a book or an article like this while on a bus or walking down the street? I bet you tried! In this case you should notice that reading text in a such way is not a good idea since the screen constantly shakes. It seems that screen shaking is a big enough issue and eliminating it can promise a good UX. This application uses the device accelerometer sensors to compensate for and smooth out screen content shaking in the same way as DSLR camera stabilizes its sensors/lenses
It uses the concept defined in the below link
no-shake-screen-stabilization-android
but uses a different approach using Xposed Framework
Free : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vivek.xscreenstabilizer
Pro : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vivek.xscreenstabilizer.pro
Xposed repository : http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.vivek.xscreenstabilizer
Parameter Details
Velocity Friction : It is used to adjust the friction of the movement of the screen when walking. If the value is greater, the screen translation will be slower.
Position Friction : It is used to adjust the speed at which the screen tries to adjust to the normal position.If the value is greater, it takes more time to adjust to normal position
Low pass filter alpha : It is used to filter the acceleration force values from the sensor for the smooth positioning of the screen
Velocity Amplification : It is used to amplify the calculated velocity and use it to translate the screen
please try it out and provide your valuable comments
Oww Great ! Thank You Bro
after setting the velocity friction to 0 something it doesn't allow you to slide the switch, also how much would this increase battery drain?

It prevents you from copying and pasting if you are moving. the cursor keeps blinking.
Hi, nice idea for a module!
What differentiates the pro version? Ad removal / extra features, or just dev support?
Can you offer any extra information on exactly what each of the tweakable parameters do?

Now the pro version is just Ad Free.
The extra parameters are used to adjust the movement according to your walking speed.
I don' t know if I did something wrong, but it didn't worked for me. The device has AOSP 5.1 and I'm also using GravityBox and Android N'ify.
Very fun idea. You may want to hardcode some safe minimum and maximums on each setting and give it some sort of tendency to return to normal once movement subsides.
I lowered the velocity friction to zero and moved my phone around. The screen went off screen enough, I guess, that it couldn't return to center and the button to disable the module was not responding.
Also, maybe add a whitelist so you can pick to only have it activate while certain apps are in the foreground (browser, e-book readers). While it's neat for testing, having it constantly adjusting your screen when using your phone can be awkward.
Bravo for doing something new and creative!

I have checked the log. It is showing the sensor cannot be registered. Which is your device ?
is there any restriction in using sensors when using GravityBox or AndroidNify ?
I am using the sensor TYPE_LINEAR_ACCELERATION for this application. Is it available in your device ?
I have updated the application to version 1.1
Cannot use Copy/Paste etc bug - Fixed
Minumum value for parameters set - Fixed
Nice one! Congrats and thanks!
Simple and immediate feature request that I believe will improve your app:
1. Widget to toggle on/off
2. Activity to toggle on/off (to trigger from other automation, gesture, button... apps)
3. Persistent notification to toggle on/off
4. Notification only when on, to turn off
5. Reset default setting values
And also these:
6. Blacklist apps (for instance to exclude launcher,...)
7. Floating panel with main adjustments slides (thick! cause will be moving) for real time fine tune. Can use to show/hide it a button on the ongoing notification. Or to hide a 2 fingers tap on panel.
One bug I experimented already:
It was on. Using Nova Launcher here. I went to app drawer and them home.... Them turned off stability. Nova Launcher screens got frozen partially out of screen. Only solution was to force reload all launcher.
Thanks!
Very great idea man. Thx. Hoping for the stablest final version
Great concept and great app!
It slowed down my system quite a bit though, so I had to uninstall it. A lot of apps (the foreground app I was using) would freeze and the Android System prompt would appear saying " xxx app is not responding, would you like to: wait, force close and reopen, or send bug report". Anybody else seeing this performance problem?
Really nice. Now if the entire ui could shift, instead of only the foreground activity, that would even be better.
For example, the keyboard is not moving, neither is a second app when open in split screen.
great idea man!in 3 years apple as usual will steall this great mod to implement into IOS!

I thought about that.....if I'm de developer I'd patent the implementation worldwide. It is a simple concept, somehow already available out there for other uses, but as far as I know not for portable devices screens. And....AR, VR, glass,....
This is the typical thing Apple, Samsung, Google, LG would build a proof of concept (this app is one) and patent it. And sell rights for millions.
By the way, another fantastic module that has this potential is AllTrans. Real time translation of any app from any language to any other language....probably Google would love to have that under Google Tanslator label (and spy a bit more on you).

The keyboard movement will make it difficult to type if moving. As our fingers and actual device is at the same position, only screen movement is required I guess. Anyway I will try to provide and option to enable keyboard movement also if possible
Hello all!
I've seen it somewhat posted throughout the comments here but no thread on it directly. I figure the potential of this this deserves it's own thread and tutorial for those who are coming from Google to try and do exactly this without reading through a few threads.
Anyways:
How to enable Wide View on every app:
Download this app,G8x WideMode.
This puts a new icon in the top bar in the notification shade. If you don't see it, pull down twice and hit the pencil to edit the icons. Find the new one and place it somewhere near the top to keep it close by.
When the dual screen is open, tapping that will force wide screen in every app! There are some limitations:
Intent changes seem to revert the phone back to two separate pages. For instance, the mobile Reddit app Sync closes wide screen if I click any link to an external picture, video or site.
Some apps do f play nice in wide screen due to this, and you can't keep the phone permanently in the mode like a tablet, but it's a great improvement to a great phone idea.
This is super simple so I didn't think pictures were necessary, but let me know if I wasn't clear on anything or if you have problems somewhere!
This is very much appreciated! It works like a charm. It's not the floating dual screen thingy but the toggle buttons that you swipe down from the top. Make sure you add it.
Hey, this app seems to work great! I did have an issue with one app called Steam Link. Steam Link allows you to connect to a computer running Steam and remotely control it from your Android device. When I launch a game and try to use WideMode the Steam Link app refreshes and goes back to a single screen. I would love to be able to play some of my steam games over both screens.
Is there any way to make landscape apps go left/right instead of top/bottom?

I don't understand. couldn't you just auto rotate? you can also use the rotation control app to lock rotation, which helps with wide Mode

auto rotation did not work because some apps are forced landscape/portrait.
I did end up using the rotation control app with the per-app conditions. :good:
Next nice thing would be if some apps would restart at the new resolution, instead of stretching the single-screen app - some apps/games work perfectly, but others don't (and I think they should have a similar resolution compatible because I've used the axon M, which has "dual screen" retained through home with those apps).
