You guys should really be opting in for the anonymous stats.
There is no harm/concern for you.
It is letting our developers (those aiding us AND CyanogenMod folk) know how many of us are wanting CyanogenMod.
It's also just amazing to see the # of devices and installs for CyanogenMod.
It is only logical that the more users they see, the more likely good things can happen for us.
I realize there are things not in our control (Samsung/Source), but this is one thing you can. Let them know demand is there.
Chris wrote a very good piece on this awhile back, I encourage everyone to read it (even if you are not currently running CM).
>>> READ THE ARTICLE <<<
You can opt-in by going to:
Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> System -> Anonymous statistics and checking the “Enable Reporting” checkbox.

(Right now the Vibrant sits at around 1,031 devices... hope to see that grow).
bump, it's important dangit.
I have mine enabled. I agree that we should all enable this to help the developers. This is also a way of showing our support for them.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I agree .........if they do not see the Vibrant users (enough qty.) then, the R/D will be prioritized to the bottom of the list.
CM7 for the Vibrant has come a LONG way it is very close to being stable and a real Version-1.0

hi
here's a little pet peeve of mine
whenever i go to share a picture, website link, etc i am presented with a *huge* list of apps that i could ever possibly use
but here's the truth - i only ever use three (maybe four) of those apps
and, just an extra bonus, those three or four are distributed all up and down that list - and yeah, the gmail icon is at the bottom! lol
is there *any* way to modify that list??
or an app that lets us mod that list??
i'm asking you guys cuz you would know
and... if anybody wants an idea for an app to build... there ya go! i'd pay 99cents (heck, probably even 1.99) for such an app!
and, while i'm asking, i might as well say what would be just killer features ---- allow us to pick the say top five apps that would always show up, and the last entry says "all" so the entire list becomes available
would be good to be able to sort the apps that show up in that list too
anyway.. just gonna throw that out there
??
no one has anything to say about this?
Shame that there are no replies, as this is also bugging me. Here's a bump for the topic.
Annoying me as well. Recently downloaded a QR app and the damn thing added TWO entries. I'd love to be able to remove everything but email, facebook, and messaging...
How can this still be an issue
I can't believe there's no way to filter the list or at least sort the list in order used.
'Intents' and MIME-types
Recently I find that I've become rater annoyed with the list for "share via", and started wondering how I might go about deleting specific items or at the very least rearrange the order in which they appear.
I've been unable to find the answer, as most threads, only consist of the question, and no answers.
I did however find out that what causes an app to appear in the "share via"-list is an 'Intents'-argument with regards to MIME-types (.jpg or .txt etc.) when coding the app.
See: (add the http yourselves, as I'm unable to, with this being my first post)
stackoverflow .com/questions/7891473/how-to-write-an-android-share-plugin
&
stackoverflow .com/questions/3553017/android-share-via-dialog
That means, that in order to remove them from the list, we would need some app, like LBE Privacy Guard, that could limit the "offending" app's 'Intents' in certain regards.
However I've been unable to find anyone that seems to know which file to tweak in order to rearrange the order in which they appear.
I doubt this helps anyone very much, but it may just lead someone on the right path to maybe coming up with a fix for this.
Try 'Andmade Share' from the market, seems like it would be what you're after.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hbmRtYWRlc29mdC5zaGFyZSJd
or
share customizer
Play link
Feature request added at code.google 2012-01-25
It would appear that a feature request has been put in at code.google at 2012-01-25
(Again add the http-part yourselves)
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24741
While we are waiting for this "obvious" feature, the above reply's seem to offer what I'm asking for, at least in an app, though it ought to be built in...
Thx a lot itscro & biopsin
EDIT: I think I'll pass on the Share Customizer, with all the funky (chinese?) writing, and dec. 2011 latest update.
Andmade Share however looks like a winner, and I like the fact, that it doesn't require any permissions...
Awesome. Andmade Share seems to do the trick. Love it when old threads are brought back to life and solve a problem.

Indeed, though it doesn't seem to work on Jelly Bean unfortunately.

Maybe not right now, but give it time, JB isn't exactly widespread just yet.
Such is the cost of being on the bleeding edge...

Its been quite awhile since this thread was active, but I'm hoping someone has something new on this topic. I can't find any other threads that cover this issue...
I'm big into making people and the community happy so I'm wondering what you guys would like to see next for the Prime. Keep in mind the restrictions we have right now with the locked bootloader. I have an idea to add init.d support even with the kernel not supporting it, more information to come. But what else would you like to see? Please throw around some (realistic) ideas here and I will add a poll later when I see some ideas flowing. I would love to work on a way to still make ROMs with the bootloader locked. It could be don't with fastboot, but that isn't an option with this device so i need to keep thinking
got a bunch of ideas in this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388541
I want to see the battery settings issue fixed so we can see 3rd party apps & not just system resources
I want to see the GPS on/off switch put back into quick settings like it was in HC
I really want to see ad hoc network acceptance fixed like we had days ago under HC so we can tether if no native tether app on our phones (wpa_supplicant files?)
Its a small list a nice list & a list crying out to be dealt with
Oops, there was a thread like this already. My fault, please see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388541
Closing now.
What I often see:
Hard working dev makes app > fc or bug for some user > user doesn't know how to report bugs so gives 1 star rating in market to describe bug
I feel particularly bad for devs of free apps, who should be thanked not criticized. Some of them post "please email me with bugs..." but more instructions and a way for others to see the bugs would be great.
I came across a few posts with excellent instructions. Not saying they're the right approach for all apps, but a link with the dev's instructions like this would be a big improvement and would allow better feedback to the dev. Also could show text of bugs so others can see what specific devices might not be compatible.

sounds like a good idea, running apps can be bug reported through running apps screen.
Well Google have started to roll out letting developers reply to user comments so they will be able to ask users that give low ratings and need help to submit a bug report etc.
I often find this the case that users that dont get something working right away (which for new users can very easily happen with my Linux on Android app) they will just give a 1 start rating instead of contacting me and asking for help...granted it seems to be getting better but still happens far to much
So I was reading a blog outside of XDA (yes that is right, I do read other sites) and came across this interesting thing that I thought I would share. Plus this is a pre-emptvie strike against all the spawn threads popping up asking this.
In previous Android builds the Developer Options was in Settings>scroll to near bottom and there is was. Now in 4.2, that setting is gone. Well not really. It IS gone from plain sight, but it is still there. Seem those crafty OS builders decided to hide it from you.
All you have to do is go to Settings>About Phone/Tablet (this is for N4 and updated N7 too) and click on the Build Number a few times --->[Think about when you are mashing the screen to find the Easter Egg. It is similar to this]. It should start counting down. Repeat the process until it states, "You are now a developer". Then you can back out to the main page of Settings and your Developer Options should now be there.
Please note, I said Build Number and NOT Android Version
Good Luck and Happy Developing

I Had found it my self the first time i used cm10.1 without any ones help
I'm trying to work with a custom build of Android based on KitKat to incorporate a stylus, copying some of the functionality (though not code) from Samsung which sells Android-with-stylus builds for e.g. the Note 3. I'm not including details of the specific device because right now I am working on a custom dev device and my aim is to write code which is generic enough to be usable from any Android (based on KitKat). The build (written by others) already incorporates drivers and sends stylus events correctly as motion events etc. Programming at the app level I can receive onHover, ontouch, onClick etc
The specific functionality I am trying to achieve is to pick up a stylus-button-click while hovering. It's perfectly possible to do this in any app, using an onGenericMotion Listener.
However, I want to make my "stylus-action" have system-wide effect - so that anywhere (in any other app, or in the launcher or whatever) I will pick up the event (prior to any other app) and bring up my custom menu. (just like AirCommand in Samsung Note 3) I guess in my custom Android this would then make that particular action somewhat protected or unusable for other users, but I'm ok with that.
In older Android (prior to ICS) you could try something by putting up a System Overlay (i.e in regular app code, without hacking the ROM at all), but this is no longer possible.
This is not an attempt to tapjack or whatever, I understand why this functionality has been removed from the domain of the regular programmer, and I don't want to regress my ROM back to pre-ICS behaviour by allowing the System Overlay hack. Now I am programming the system (if my change is good enough I'd like to submit it back to AOSP) so I would like to know the best method to address this. Since Samsung have already done this, it must be legal (using legal in the terms of "Android will allow it"), and I want to do it right.
Is it possible to write something similar to the System Overlay when you are running from a system service? Or is there a good choke-point to capture events before they are broadcast to the current running apps?
I was looking at (sorry, not allowed to post links) AndroidXRef /frameworks/base/core/java/android/view/View.java specifically in the function dispatchHoverEvent() which looks like a promising place. My naive idea is that I would place code here checking the MotionEvent to see if the button is pressed and if it is, don't call any listeners and instead call my little menu app (or broadcast a custom message, or something anyway). However, I've never written code on the ROM level before (LOTS of experience writing app code) so I don't know if this is a really bad point or a good point to add in code. Should I be putting things at a higher level or a lower one? Will this capture all events or not? Is it all just trial and error?
If this is the wrong place to ask questions like this, please tell me where on XDA I should be asking it. If it's the right place - please answer
Thanks

The guy above me is a ****. I stumbled across this post looking for something completely unrelated (title interested me). Five words in I knew this was something completely out of my league, but I still read the entire post. If I may offer you some probably useless advice, I would talk to the devs in the note forums. The only problem I could see is that the AOSP guys don't have this function in their roms because it's locked up Samsung code and the guys modding the stock roms leave it alone for the same reason. I could also be completely wrong. Like I said completely out of my league.
