Shortcut to Mobile AP - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know how to make a shortcut to mobile ap once you have done the wireless tether unlock?

I would also be interested in knowing how to do this.

if you have ADW launcher, u can just create a custom icon for mobile AP.

This can also be done with launcher pro. Long press on dock then change shortcut > activities > mobile ap settings

Thank you for the input. I use the standard TW UI unfortunately. maybe i can find a way with it also. Or i will just go with LP or ADW. Thank you again

If you have Better Cut you can create one.
Long Press on home screen --> Shortcuts --> Better Cut --> Activity --> Mobile AP Settings
I believe there is a way to do it via Tasker also if you have that app. I don't have the process off hand but I can mess with the app today to try and figure out a way via that.

thanks man. Have a nice day - Launcher Pro user but dont know about short cut activities, now i do. Thanks for the tip.

thank you all for the input

On a side note after seeing you say better cut. I was looking for it and found Any Cut and it works also. Thanks again for your help

I don't seen an entry in that list for Mobile AP on mine
I'm running the 2.2 build that was posted by designgears earlier this month and LauncherPro

[TIPS] *#*#4636#*#* button

If you type in *#*#4636#*#* you get to the testing page. I couldn't help but notice that when you are done with using the testing page and you go back to the home screen and "long hold" Home, to get the pop up of most recent application used, the testing page is one of those options. If it can do that, shouldn't this mean that it would be easy to make an application of this? Rather than dialing *#*#4636#*#* each and every time.
I am in no means able to develop something like this, but this would be a cool development for those who are not rooted.

edit: hm, ok.. phone information is missing @ spare parts i think

Try the Network app in the Market, it's free.

Some basic phone questions.(X10 Noob)

My battery seems to fly out the door, how do you close down some of the running applications? I don't want to download a 3rd party app just to be able to close browser or mediascape X_X
EDIT: Also, I am trying to delete some apps with Titanium backup, do yall recommend deleting Google talk, Play Now, User Guide and Use Support? And finally there is a toolbar that has 4 pictures (one with a dot and signals going up, one for blue tooth, one with a satellite dish letting off a signal and one that controls the phone, what do the 1st and 3rd ones control? I have no manual with this phone.
Edit Edit: (Lol) How do you set .mp3's for ringtone and notifications(and while we are at it custom wallpaper), and is there anyway to change the unlock process of the phone?
Really, thanks to anyone who answers even one of my 50 questions.

3rd party
On the beginning of the thread you said you didn't want a 3rd party app to close tasks. However you should use something like "advanced task killer". If you open the app you get a list of running apps and you can unselect the ones you want to remain running.
Then you get a 1 click widget that remembers that (un)selection, leaving those apps running and stopping everything else. Very useful.
BTW check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=767849
The beauty of android is the amount of nice apps available!
EDIT: Just in case you don't read that thread through:
careful with LCD Density Changer you need ROOT with Superuser and busybox or your phone will brick
So better to stay away from that one.
Ya at the beginning I didn't want to use a 3rd party app to close tasks, it didn't make sense, now I can't get enough of ATK.
I have 2 new questions for everyone.
One how can I access the internal memory from my pc? And 2 how can I change the background color in menus like settings, messages etc. The blue background is super annoying.

[HOW TO] Disable lock screen (solution)

Ever since I got my Atrix I've been searching for a way disable this annoying lock-screen, but couldn't find any good way. There is an app "no lock" witch worked somewhat ok, but had some quirks here and there.
Today I accidentally stumbled upon a key in a database that allow disable it once and for all.
You'll need SQLite Editor (or if you know how to manually write database queries...)
open com.motorola.android.providers.settings -> settings.db -> settings
Search for screen_lock and change value from 1 to 0
Reboot and enjoy Atrix with no lock screen whatsoever.
where exactly is that file located? my SQLlite editor doesnt see it....
Good find... actually works. My widgets didn't quite no what to think, since a good part of them usually load behind the scenes... bogged down the launcher initially, but caught back up without any problems. Widget locker still works too.
You should post this in the general section.

Is that in GB 2.3.4? In stock 2.2.1 sqlite editor shows it as com.motorola.android.providers.settings
theres an app call "battery indicator pro" which can disable lock screen very well. i have it disable my Atrix's lock screen by accident and it worked great.

Nova & AOSP Quick Settings shortcuts/activities... wow, really getting into this now!

Nova & AOSP Quick Settings shortcuts/activities... wow, really getting into this now!
I know that Nova has always had "shortcuts" that you can play with.
And the same for AOSP Quick Settings "custom shortcuts".
Just starting to really get into these options now and some of them are very powerful. Between "Activities" and "Shortcuts" and "Browser Favorites", my Quick Settings is really starting to fill up.
My favorite one so far is I swipe down Quick Settings and click a button and it takes me directly to a Create New Calendar Event page.
Same for my Touch Tunes app. Click a button and it takes me directly to the Search for Music page. No more opening the app and clicking several buttons to get where I want to go.
What kind of cool activity/shortcuts have you set up with Nova or Quick Settings? And does anyone know how to edit the name of a Quick Settings custom shortcut?
I haven't done much with it yet. Just kind of got into it yesterday. This is what I've got so far.
Nice, I knew we could edit the quick settings, didn't know we could add our own

"Activities" is powerful but if you wanna go wild use it in conjunction with Tasker. You need to be rooted and have Tasker, Busy Box & Secure Settings installed. Furthermore, there are more potent ways/apps out there that harness the power of "activities", gestures and other goodies, one notable being LMT (the pie) and surely don't overlook the power of "scenes" in Tasker. Try combining them all and you'll get to really appreciate the underlying power of Android (in a burst of enthusiasm and amazement).
Ex: I set 4 screen-brightness-presets in Tasker and assigned them in LMT (gestures) using two finger swipe (up for A Brightness, down for lowest, and another 2 intermediary levels for right to left / left to right. The beauty comes from the fact that it works even over the locked screen (pattern). This way I no longer use any conventional settings for brightness...and keep in mind this is merely one example out of many others

Google Phone Edition. Basically the pure vanilla / "Nexus" version of the Galaxy S4: https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Samsung_Galaxy_S_4?id=samsung_galaxy_s4&hl=en
Then no, the Quick Settings won't work with it.
Or any Touch Wiz phone.
But Nova Actions will work.

I'll wait for this too.
The app is great, and I think it'll be amazing out of beta.
All the fancy stuff it does is great.
I'd love to get into this program and make tons of themes but some these basic problems really turn me away.
I guess I can wait for this wallpaper thing to work but weather really turns me away.
Also the inability to set multiple locations kind of sux too.
I wish android also separated cell and gps location so that i can always leave at least cellphone tower location on.

Hi,
Live wallpapers might take a while, however we can help with multiple locations.
If you long press on the widget - Advanced - Unlock widgets. Then long press again on the widget and select Configure. This will open the Themer Zooper Widget configuration menu.
Next select Location and select the "+" icon. Input a new location and select save. Add as many as you want.
Now go back and select the Layout option and navigate to the module you'd like to configure (such as location or temperature). Scroll down and select Override Widget Locality, then choose a location.
Go back out of everything and wait for the widget to refresh. Now long press on an empty space and lock your widgets again (or via the Themer menu if there is no free space).
Good luck! Let me know if there's anything else you need!
- Marco

Hi,
What device/Android version are you running? Perhaps we can help Themer shouldn't slow your system down more than any other launcher provided it's set up correctly.
i would love that. But currently is impossible.
