[MOD REQUEST] Touch Key Lights - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Touch Key Lights
Any Dev's out there that can help
Is it possible to add an additional option?
I would like to have the option so that they only light up when touched. Not when the screen is touched or any other key is pressed as is stock.
I'm aware that the lights can be turned off completely, but would still like the above option added.
Can you help.

It'd be nice if they only come on when pressed in the dark.
If they already don't come on when there is adequate light, ignore me

I would really like this option, so that I know when I have hit the button, I currently have got them off permanently.

Request from me to improve our SGS3:
- nice Arabic font
- truely nature based theme: all box shape convert to oval shape like pebble.
- extend quick panel when long tap on the icon.
- big [Clear] button on notification drawer.

Hmm i think for a better success in getting an answer this should go to
Galaxy S III Themes and Apps

Moved to a and a

Good idea. But who can help on this mod ?

[Q] LED light question....

Led light question... (colored led, not the flash )
I was wondering if there is such app that would allow us to have the LED on at all
times when the screen is off?
I was thinking it would be cool to have some type of rotating color app that basically
rotates it through all the available colors on your LED, and stay on! (Not just when you
have a message or missed call)
Is there such a program? From what programs I have tried (Blink, etc...) seems that you can
only assign those lights to actual notices, and not leave them on (or even rotate thru the colors)
Am I being weird? or would that be cool??
It's a little weird. Lol
What would be the purpose of this? Do you want it to perform some sort function, or do you just want the pretty colors?
I'm an odd ball like that.
I just think it would look cool.
Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the light?

I don't know why, but I love the idea. Just wish I didn't depend so much on my LED for a message indicator! Here you go, personally tested and confirmed working.

Edit: When you first open this app, pressing the Back button to get back to the home screen will exit the app, causing the LED to not light up anymore. But, if you press the Home button to return to the home screen, the app will continue to run, leaving an icon in the status bar. Looks like there's also an option to use it as an SMS/MMS indicator, neat!

[Q] Toggle capacitive buttons from notifications?

Hi all,
anybody know how to add a toggle for cyanogenmod that enables/disables the capacitive buttons like the one in miui.
its annoying playing games and accidentally hitting the keys and the game goes into the menu etc. the toggle in miui is perfect but the battery on the current releases isnt great and id ultimately prefer cyanogenmod.
any ideas?
thanks

Differences between 4.1 and 4.2

Hi,
it seems the new update (4.2.2) is finally coming to my Xperia tablet Z - wifi (SG312).
I'm a bit hesitant to get it.
So can you, users of 4.2.2, summarize the differences and pros/cons versus the 4.1.2 version?
Big thanks in advance.
Laurent.

Quick summary. Although they say 64GB SD support, from what I hear it had that anyway. They probably mean exFAT.

Thanks. These are the official and "immediately visible" changes.
I'm interested into the other stuff such as performances, battery usage, bug fixes, new bugs, annoying things (it looks like the centered home button is one when using the keyboard)...
I would advise against installing it, unless you have at least 15cm long fingers!
I'll be reverting back to 4.1, because:
* the new soft buttons in the middle of the screen are hard to use in landscape
* notification bar on top wastes room
* notification bar on top is hard to use
* I see no improvements... only the slightly nicer design of the lock screen
They used a design intended for a phone, not a tablet!

This update is a massive improvement in my opinion, particualry the speed. There is no longer and stuttering on the homescreen. When I left a CPU intensive app and went to the recent apps tray on 4.1, there was a 3/4 second lag that has no vanished.
The on screen keyboard now has a 'thumb' option with a reduced size allowing you to float the keyboard around the screen. Very handy indeed.
I've also seen a big improvement with the speaker quality and after moderate use for several hours since the update, battery life seems improved but difficult to tell at this stage.
Video unlimited now sports a dark look over the previous white.
I have some questions regarding wi-fi performance since my was always a bit on the down side.
Notification bar on top is somewhat bad news for me, since I read a lot (moonreader mostly) and I like every space to be availlabe.
Anyway, could you guys enlighten me a bit?
Open moonreade and open a book on it and tell me if the notification bar is dimmed out or if moon reader cover it up?
And what about wifi?
Please answer me this questions because I love to update stuff and 4.2.2 is availlabe now for me and I am ichting to update but wont do it if it is not an improvement as many are reporting...
Thanks in advance!
I need to ask. For all those who opt not to upgrade because of the new layout of the notifications and soft buttons, will you be staying behind when we get 4.3 and onwards? Sony is obviously not bringing back the tablet UI.

I actually intend to update anyway, just want to know if it will bother me a lot or just a little...
And BTW, how can you be so certain that sony won't bring tablet UI back?
And please, open moonreader and tell me what happens to top notification bar?
I confirmed the 4.2.2 upgrade on my SGP312/Japan version fixed the WiFi drops problem, tested on the same router and S4 WiFi hotspot. Tested for over 24 hours now and ran perfect. For the Centered soft keys problem, I installed a small app "Home Anywhere" to place the keys at left screen when portrait. Worth to try, buddies.

I'm not going to bother with this update. The only thing that's important to me is compatability with a 64GB card, and I've been using one successfully ever since I got it. I really don't want to go to a phone UI on a tablet.
I don't think I'll have an issue with the new UI, but does anyone have any screencaptures of it?
They seem to have fixed the Bluetooth/WiFi issue that Sony was so mute about.....
Here are a couple of screen captures for Aid777. Anything in particular you want to see?

I thought I read someplace here that the drop down menu thingy was on the top left, seems to be the MIDDLE? are screenshots taken with volume buttons now, or is "clip manager" still available?

No worries. They are shortcuts on the top left in a very similar place as 4.1.
Drop down menu is in the middle. Also screen shots can still be taken from the power menu.

Remapping screen back/home buttons to the HW buttons

The only reason I want to upgrade from an S3 right now, to either the S4 or the G2, is due to the larger screen size. The N3 is a little big so it seems these two are the only logical options.
I upgraded from the Galaxy nexus to the S3 purely due to the fact that it did not WASTE screen real-estate on black and white static icons. Frankly that is the absolute stupidest use of the screen there is. Samsung has it right by continuing to keep the buttons off screen.
So, the only way the G2 fits the bill (for probably many people) is if one of the following two solutions can exist:
1. The nav bar is totally transparent. The buttons still register when you tap there, but when browsing or watching video, the frame or text completely spills behind the buttons as if they don't actually take up space. Still not ideal.
2. The buttons are taken off screen fully and remapped to the rear HW keys. One volume key can be the back button, and the other can be the home button, etc. To change the volume, you gotta drag the software slider. Not a problem. I believe there are many button remapping apps in the market. Anyone tried this?
Is there an app to do these things? Can this feature be built into a ROM? For solution number 1, the nav bar can be hidden using a feature like PA has, and an app can just have a virtual transparent button floating where the original ones were. This app might also just exist in the android market.
Can we work on getting the entire screen area useful on this large phone?

I had the same mentality as you before deciding on the G2. There is a solution.
You will have to ROOT first.
GMD Auto hide app. This app will completely hide the software keys. They only appear when you swipe up from the very bottom of the screen.. or just tap the very bottom of the screen. You chose that in settings. The software keys can be made transparent as well.
Im currently using the app and love it. Works perfectly.
Without root... i dont think there is a solution.
I just use the navbar mod that shrinks the navbar down to either half or a third of the size. That way they take up hardly any screen at all.

I've used the Xposed Module - Ultimate Dynamic Navbar (available on play store). Looked to have more customization options than GMD (can have up to 7 buttons on the nav bar, for example, and more options for configuring long press of the buttons). But anyway, overall concept is the same as GMD.
And so far, i am loving it. Nice to have the full screen real estate at all times.
And root is so damn easy on this phone.

I considered Xposed as well... but i thought that method just let you adjust/resize and theme the soft buttons.. but i wanted to completley hide them and have them reappear with a touch/swipe of my finger and then go away again. Xposed can do that as well? I just took a quick glance at the thread and figured it couldnt.

The xposed module Ultimate Dynamic Navbar can do all that.
it's on play store, but i just found it here on XDA. Note to self - remember to ALWAYS check xda first before you pay! although, i like the app so far, so it's worth the money.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270198
EDIT : One note - on the G2, I've found you have to use another Xposed module (like g2 xposed or gravity box) to hide the stock nav bar first. At least right now.
I'm already using G2 xposed to remove the volume slider in drop-down, and for transparent status bar, so I already had it to make this change.
I love the software buttons because you can customize them and have various animations and actions. I agree with the wasted space but I root and download "tex_Droider" from the Play Store and change the DPI down from 480 to 400. This will make everything smaller and more roomier... including the Nav Bar.
Then I downloaded Flashify and TWRP Custom recovery. Flashed with Flashify.
I downloaded a Smaller Nav Mod. I used the "Medium" size since I already lowered the DPI. You can use the small size too if you want it really small. Boom.
I've played with hiding the navbar and using gestures and also that PA mod. I dunno just doesn't work for me. I use those buttons a lot and adding a swipe each time is a pain. Personally I wouldn't mind just having a transparent bar across ALL apps.
With ya player911, wound just using small nav bar. Wish I could add a couple more apps to the stock home swipe out.
With the G nexus I've tried making the nav bar about half. It worked except for the occasional mis-tap. Still it was annoying to have it cover up screen - on top of all of these options, can the nav bar be made transparent? I figure apps would have a hard time realizing what's going on so a solution would go something along the lines of first removing the nav bar to make every app draw full screen, and then adding a module that would create false transparent buttons simply overlaying the screen content at all times, rather than having a swipe or some other gesture pull the nav bar up or down. The false buttons could be in the very corners of the screen so as to not likely cover anything up.
The thing I like about the S3/4 is in dark conditions where you are being more tactile with the phone/case (I turn my softkey backlight off totally) your thumb rests on the edge of the case and rolls over to tap the softkey. It wouldn't be an issue to get used to the position of this virtual softkey by adopting the same behavior, it's just a matter of whether an app exists that will draw repositionable virtual transparent mappable "area" on the screen that would correspond to a button.
Don't think you're going to find one. Every app/game is different, so who is to say that where you place your "always there" transparent buttons won't interfere with an actual area you need to tap inside an app, game, etc. Even in the corners.
I would again suggest trying the auto-hide mods mentioned above. They do exactly what you are describing with the overlay, except you have to swipe or tap to bring it up.
Swiping is really not that big a deal. Ultimate dynamic navbar gives you the ability to swipe right to a button, so your finger never has to come off the screen. It's very fluid.
You could also try PIE. But what I like about the auto hide nav bar mods is that you can set the nav bar to toggle, so it stays up if you need to press nav bar buttons a bunch of times in a row. With PIE (at least when I last used it), you have to swipe for every button press.

How to fix MiFavor

If you have any suggestions, add in comments and I'll update the OP. Going to try to keep this list as comprehensive as possible.
Ambient Display: Stock ambient display sucks, so I don't miss it here. But would be nice to get something similar to Moto's active notifications to make use of the amoled panel.
Smart power-save: What does it really do? Is it limiting CPU speed? Is it using a more conservative governor? I can't tell any difference (performance or battery) when it's on vs off.
Voiceprint: Completely useless. I bet not a single person uses this.
MyVoice: This would be MUCH more useful if you could trigger it without touching phone while screen was off. In its current form, the time it takes to unlock my phone, hold back, say my command, and wait for it to respond, I'd be better off just doing whatever I wanted it to do. Screen off voice commands are natively supported by Qualcomm, even when the phone is in Doze.
Gesture & Motion:
-Double tap to wake is very slow and doesn't work when phone has gone into Doze.
It also works in your pocket because there is no proximity sensor check. There needs to be.
-Shake flashlight: You really need to shake your phone violently now. So violently in fact that you will throw your phone more often than not trying to turn your flashlight on.
-Give us some kind of camera gesture when phone is off. Double tap power, hold volume button, shake phone, whatever.
Navigation Keys: Capacitive buttons should be optional. I like being able to swap which side the back button is on, but we should be able to customize long-presses.
Battery Percentage: Should be displayed inside the battery icon or replace it. Uses up a ton of space on the status bar.
Workaround: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.kroegerama.android4batpercent
Holster Mode: Completely useless. This is a phone, not a fitbit. Keeping the phone screen on all the time to use as a pedometer will destroy your battery life.
Cast Screen: Why is this not a toggle in the notification shade? Why do I need to dig into the display settings to do this? You have a dual sim quick-toggle, but not a cast screen quick-toggle?
Sound: I really like that when I mute ringer, media volume also mutes. But when you unmute, it goes back to whatever it was at before, which can be a lot louder than you think. Android should tie all volumes except alarm volume together, but if nothing else, let us tie ringer and notification volume together.
Mute Schedule: Why did they remove stock 6.0's timed do not disturb functionality?
Charging Sounds: Should be able to turn off.
Apps: To disable stock calendar, clock, gallery, mifavor launcher, my voice, stock music app, and stock video app, you have to open "stock android launcher" and drag icons from the app drawer to top of screen. Why can't we just disable these same apps from settings --> apps?
Storage: Let us use adaptable storage!
Connect to PC: Does the "Install driver" option do anything? Have not found a computer that does not install driver automatically when MTP selected.
Lockscreen: Get rid of the bell!
Notification Shade: Editing toggles is nice, but let us add and remove toggles. Many of us don't use a 2nd sim card, so having 3 related toggles is a waste of space.
System UI Tuner: Holding the gear icon in the notification shade causes it to spin and settings to open, but System UI Tuner never appears in settings. If you're not going to let us use System UI Tuner, get rid of the toggle.
Stock Weather widget: I really like the widget, but does not scale when resizing. Also, does not open Google clock if stock clock is disabled when clicked. Oh well, back to Chronus.
Toolkit: Not all of these are very useful, but definitely interesting. If you want to create a home screen shortcut to any of these, open the toolkit app and long press whatever icon you like.
Recent Apps: clear button shouldn't cover up 50% of the currently open app. This will be solved in nougat, so probably not worth fixing, but if you're going to put a clear all button on this screen, but it near the top left or top right so it's harder to accidentally press.
Status Bar Color: When status bar turns dark, icons stay dark so you can't read anything. These should turn white.
Speaker Phone: If on speaker phone and screen times out, other person can no longer hear you until you toggle speakerphone off then back on, which means constantly touching your phone's screen so it doesn't time out.
Phone call Proximity Sensor: Doesn't work. If you turn the screen off and hold the phone up to your head, if the proximity sensor sees light, which it will because it's not centered, it will turn the screen BACK ON. With this and the bug above together, phone calls are a huge pain in the ass.
Dolby Atmos: This resets EQ settings very often. I can't figure out what causes it to reset to default, but the settings just never seem to stick.
Anyone have any more info on this?
Write Protection on Rooted phones: Rooted and still can't get adaway or titanium backup to work? Turns out there's an extra layer of write protection here that's not found in other phones. Why do we need this? Luckily, there's a simple fix: Plug phone into computer, load up adb, type "adb reboot disemmcwp" (source:http://androidforums.com/threads/zte-write-protection-for-zmax-and-other-zte-phones.1040331/)
Disable stock apps: in B20, you could disable several stock apps that did not allow you to disable them in settings --> apps by opening"stock Android" launcher and dragging app drawer icons to disable. Seems that has been removed in B27, so now we have no way to disable redundant clocks and calendars to name a few.
Any more suggestions? Anyone know any fixes for the above?

You can enable this with an app - search for "Battery Percent Enabler" in the Play Store. This was mentioned elsewhere in the forum - credit goes there.

Good summary. I can't believe someone actually thought the notification bell (and subsequently, the inability to turn it off) was a good idea.
I'm going to try to list workarounds here as well, so if someone can come up with good fixes for any of this stuff without waiting for ZTE, please share!
Updated with some new findings and ideas.

But Android already has a perfectly working system to hide notification content before unlocking the device. You can even pick which apps to show and which ones to hide. And, most importantly, it's OPTIONAL. And it's actually much better at protecting your privacy. With the bell, all the content is visible without actually unlocking your phone.. it just makes it more inconvenient to access.

Mine does the same (also on mute all the time). Apparently if you have volume on, it makes noise. Either way, should be able to toggle the "charging notification".

What do you mean with stock android launcher? Where do i find it? I cant deactive this bloat without root
The phone, at least in US version, comes with a launcher called "Stock Android Launcher", but it is just a differently themed MiFlavor launcher, not a real stock android launcher. Confusing, but that is what is there.

Settings > Themes and Wallpapers.
On the US model, there's a theme titled "Stock Android". When using that theme, you can open up the app drawer, press and hold on an app, and on the top of the screen there's a "Disable" option. This is different from the standard Settings > Apps > selecting an app > Disable (which is greyed out for most of the stock apps).

Sadly, no such option on G Version -.- only 5 slightly different ZTE themes.
Also no Myvoice in g version. WTF?!
@xxBrun0xx: I saw you linked to this list in a ZTE forum, but I think it would be better if it had its own thread as well.
In addition to "wake on plug" toggle I mentioned a few posts above, I would like to see an option to remap capacitative buttons to whatever user wants, right now they can only be "flipped", but ability to have custom functions (on both short and long press) would be helpful. I personally, would like to use one of the button for menu rather than for recent apps.
