hello, i wonder if it would be possible to make ics 4 way reboot menu (reboot, reboot to recovry, reboot to fastboot, power off)? (hansip?)doomlord made an app called xcharge but it does not work with ics (tested with sirkay's kernel)
Not interested mate sorry Not my philosophy that power menu gets more complicated than current one. It's like putting a Safe mode into Windows Shutdown menu. Not elegant if you ask me. Well maybe someone else like to try?
Isn't there already one in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1534903 ?

That comparison is totally wrong lol. Windows is the most wide spread OS, especially among the people that aren't very good with computers, which is "a bit" hard to say for a custom mod(especially if someone is competent enough to install a custom mod and then can't handle a few extra options in the power menu is just )

Well that's your opinion. but I don't want to make android from geek platform to even more geek platform. Got my point there? my idea is to make android an efficient platform and user friendly as possible. Not the other way around. well never mind. If somebody like to add it with my mod as a basis, then go ahead

then i should remove Blue LED/vibration notification to enter recovery mode since (let say) you have "reboot into recovery" in power menu ?

Well i don't know about that. It's a nice indicator though. But to be honest, Ray's firmware (or any other Xperia 2011) is a lot clearer then compared with X10 family, so we don't need to spam volume button before the screen is lit to 100% while booting. That in itself is an indicator to me

ive had recovery led features since X10, just the vibration i got it here.
boot into recovery in power menu is not practical to me since we already have reboot in status bar widget and led/vibrate notification. but if it comes in apps, might be. just my 2 cents

I don't know why talking about geeking;-) my view is practical, fastboot option is even more important than recovery. Imagine u have just put new ics rom on sd card now u want flash new sirkay kernel, no need to disconnect, hold on power button and u are in fastboot mode

Hey everybody
I just expose my problem
1-the Folio 100 i bought is a new brand (received yesterday)
2-I turn on my Folio 100, just in beginning they is no light on the 4 buttons,
i wait android to boot and in the homescreen i try to use the 4 buttons, nothing happens, no light
3- i decide to install the Foliomod without wipe (because the home button like the 3 another button don't have any light, i try to press the buttons many time, still nothing)
4- I install foliomod successfully without wipe everything work better but still the problem of the 4 buttons (no light and don't work)
5- I install different recovery.img but impossible to use it, it's simple, when i press the power button, don't have any light on the 4 buttons, look like the 4 buttons are desactivate on boot mode or anything else
I was wondering if anyone have the same problem ?...
I battle with that, i try to do a reset mode with the button near the battery, get off the battery (power button hold like do a clear CMOS) still nothing
I'm tired to send the Folio back
I really want to fix it, they is no way to fix this problem ?
Thanks !
one thing i find pretty annoying is the fact that to press the buttons you have to make contact with your whole finger.
I dont mean to make presure, I mean to make contact with a large portion of skin than just taping the button.
I got my folio one week ago and I am still getting used to it.
Maybe you already tried to tap the buttons in several ways but... this is the only thing I can think of right now.
By the way... the default behavior es to have the lights off and to turn them on for a second when you tap the buttons.
I hope this helps...
Thanks but if you check what i said, i can't use the buttons.
Usually the home button you can use it on recovery mode but i can't do anything, it's like the 4 buttons don't exist, like desactived.

If the home button don't work on recovery mode, i don't think folio widget can help, foliomod 1.4/1.3 has already a folio widget and changing the value of the sensitivity didn't change anything
I think the problem is more on the boot of the folio, didn't activate the 4 buttons

When we press the power button have a small boot sequence, it's probably this boot sequence make many problem.
I try to erase the boot and change it on fastboot mode but it always fail.

bootloader is closed source.. probably needs re-designed, and we havent seen any updates of it, since their update.zip probably cannot write a new one..
i think they forgot to add support for updating it..
just like the full wipe with power button, probably also a mistake..
That what i was thinking

Hi, I bought a crashed folio just to see inside it's guts and found that those bastard buttons are a board on its own.
I'm going to reverse engineer those signal and replace them with push buttons.

The chip on the capsense board is a PIC16F722 from MicroChip!!!
PIC16F722 <--- difficult to program and too much problem on it, they use this on clone phone in China.
I sent back my Folio, i don't know if i get a new one or wait for the XOOM or iPad 2 (but don't make any sens without USB/Thunderbolt, SD card etc)
This may seem lame and I feel kind of dumb posting it but I cannot find a simple widget that just shuts off my g-tab. Every time I press the power switch I think about how light weight it feels and how important it is to mod the tablet. Using it everyday to start and stop the device seems like extra wear and tear for nothing. With all the other buttons virtualized, it would seem that there ought to be a simple "power off" button. My searches and subsequent downloads have turned up buttons that lock the screen, turn off wifi, show you the battery and probably display dancing hampsters but a simple "press this widget and the device powers off" has eluded me. Does anyone have one?

Do NOT ever use the Reboot Recovery option with this app. It will very likely throw you into a bootlop that requires you to use adb to correct. Just went through that a week ago. No fun.
Hi all,
I've expierenced something new, after using my phone for quite alot of hours i realised few minutes ago that my information bar is missing. This information (above) is only visible on the lock screen but not on the UI.
I like this very much and i love the ability to work in fullscreen mode.
Perhaps i activated this by accidentily pressing some buttons.
I've made this topic so that the experts on here can inform me what i exactly did and how i can do it again (turn on this feature) in the future.
Its pleasent to work in fullscreen mode.

I only ever came close to a similar situation when I was trying to change some image files in framework-res.apk. Have you tried to apply a theme/mod recently?
Many people have been asking for this, so here it is. Thanks to "tbriden" for his info on this mod. As with many of my mods, This is currently for deodex'ed roms.
This also contains my Advanced power menu
Advanced Power Menu + Volume Buttons To Wake
Just Flash From Recovery
This mod will remove any of Runandhide's Mods, but I've already passed the necessary edits off to him, and he'll be updating his mod shortly
His mod can be downloaded RunandHides Mod
FROM RUNANDHIDES OP ABOUT THIS MOD
NEW!! for Viper 1.2.1 longpress home =menu, recent app = menu, volume up/down = wake device, half press camera button = search/voice search and includes Vinchenzop's APM
I've been trying to integrate these mods and even using them as standalone and my phone seems to be kind of retarded when it comes to them.
For instance, the advanced power menu mod doesn't work on my phone. Modding it myself or using your mod produces the same result: Holding down the power button to bring up the menu results in a soft-reset back to boot animation, every single time. Wiping either dalvik or cache has no effect. Even hard resetting has no effect. I'm hoping that it's because I've removed so many files in my attempts at a "Senseless" ROM that one of them may be reliant on this mod, and not my phone just being a strange lemon of sorts. Even the modding of framework-res took a LOT of work on my part because every single one of runandhide05's mods to it resulted in bootloops.
WTF?
Am I the ONLY one here? >

Use my framework-res.apk. The reason you're getting a soft reset is because its lookin for icons/layouts that aren't there. And before you notice...yes the files are improperly labeled, but that was just my quick way to get it to show right in the menu
Thanks for this. Coming from the 3D I developed a habit to wake with volume button. Now my habit can continue.

Wait wait wait......so the APM relies on the framework-res.apk? How interesting! that would make sense as to why it does soft-reset on me, as I didn't even try using another one. Every framework-res I've used just boot loops on me. I had to go through some pretty terrible crap to get a framework-res mod. runandhide05's removed the signatures, which is probably the first reason why mine would bootloop, so I added that back in and it still bootlooped. So then I took a stock framework-res and copied the resources.arsc over and that worked, BUT the notification bar became double the size. Every single technique I knew to decompile and recompile resulted in boot loops. I finally got it working with mine&runandhide05's mods, but the file I produced is closer to the stock in file size: 18MB vs 13MB (runandhide05s).
I will give your framework-res a shot and if it works, you'll have to let me know what you're using to decompile/recompile.

Its a f'in headache man, I do all my android modding on linux...but since ICS, I've got to decompile apks on my windows machine (which i am unfamiliar with) and then move them back to my linux machine for any smali edits.
I followed fernando sor's tutorial, to an extent to get a damn framework-res to compile.
Edit: You won't be able to decompile then recompile though...pm me your gmail
Thanx allot for the mod! are there other options in the works like using the camera button to ? That was my favorite because I like the volume buttons used for the "select track while screen off" mod.
Good work and thanx for the contribution
Hey Vin,
Can you add menu remap and long press home to this mod please ... I tried Run's newest mod and it all works except the vol wake so I'm currently using his mod that has LPH, Menu Remap and your APM which works great but I really miss vol wake ... I don't much care about the half press camera but others might ... It not just me, I posted in Run's thread and vol wake being broken was confirmed
Fyi, in his mod the vol wake works but only if you hit a vol key quickly after turning the screen off with pwr button and is repeatable ... If u wait more than 30 secs or so then a vol key will no longer wake the phone and u have to use the pwr button which pretty much renders the vol wake useless ... don't know if that info will help but wanted to fully explain
Thanks !

The camera/wake is just a .kl (key layout) edit, and I don't think that's be the reason for the delay/issues. But yea, I'll leave it out for the time being.
But if you follow the ROM thread, you'll know that I won't be home/at my computer for 9 more hours or so...I say this so you're not wasting your time F5'ing this thread

apologies, I said it in a PM to someone, but forgot to reiterate it here. I remade the mod, and it had the same results (delays and/or not working). I'll have to add each aspect one at a time and see what is causing it. This could take a bit (should be this weekend).
Why do you guys prefer the volume rocker to wake? Just curious as to how this benifits. I think its a negative when listening to music and the screen comes on when adjusting volume, no?

Easier one handed operation b/c you can reach it with ur thumb when you take it out of ur pocket without adjusting ur grip. This is just quicker, handier and reduces the chance of dropping the phone with less adjusting in ur hand. Also the same reason I put status bar expander on my homescreen since I can't reach the pull down with my thumb in one handed operation without adjusting my grip

Hi,
I have created a new app for the Xperia U, that will give you "disco lights" in the illumination bar.
Now also works for Xperia P.
So far it only has a few modes. It does both plain blinks and also blinks that are driven by the music you play.
Pro version has more colors and can run in the background.
It only works on Xperia U or Xperia P, and it also requires ROOT to get individual access to the LEDs.
On anything but a rooted XU or rooted XP i'm sure it will do absolutely nothing...
It's called U-Disco and you can find it at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rundgong.udisco
Pro version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rundgong.udiscopro
Try it out and let me know what you think.
If you have suggestions for fun blink patterns, let me know and I'll try to include it in upcoming releases.
Hi,
I have tested the application and what I think is great! But I wish that the lights are activated only when you make a pressure on the touchscreen buttons. Is what you know to do that?
Loved the crazy discos...
Great idea, and nicely implemented. :thumbup:
Possible to add an option to turn off the LED?

The LEDs should go off when you change the selection on either drop down list.
Sometimes you may need to toggle audio source on and off before it really goes off

But the left led is stable ..dont do anything
Btw, Made a Quick Review http://youtu.be/6Tn-tZPzAxE

Too bad Android closes it when I play a memory intensive game, such as Dead Trigger... It'd be cool to have the light effects while shooting
Can you do a root version and make it stay in the memory of the phone?
Could you make it turn of when the screen does and turn on when the screen does cause that'd be perfect

The default behavior for an app is to shut down when you press the back button. If you want to keep it running in the background you can press the home button instead.

I don't know how it works with high prio processes on android, but I can look into it.
I also don't really know how good android is at deciding when to kill apps.
It is supposed to only kill apps when other apps need the memory, but I guess it is possible that it kills apps earlier than it really needs to.
Anyone know how good this works?
I don't want to change the app so it makes the rest of the system run poorly by holding on to memory that really should have been released.

Yes, but if the android framework is doing a good job it means your game really need the ram, so if my app stays active the game may not work so well any more.
