This is a strange thing since the release5a firmware update which really catches interest.
Like wifi not really staying on while on sleep mode which is completely cheating on that bug in the previous version of the firmware.
Somehow it does stay on when the screen is off BUT not for long.

Also I have noticed that there is Rocket Launcher which is interesting, I do why Sony has hidden it BUT the only thing I don't get is why is it still on the tablet itself?
Ok the reason why Rocket Launcher was hidden is because of OpenGL errors most of the time opening the launcher up and after waking up the screen, you get a black screen.
And here is some details of the shortcuts I used to gain access to certain activity sectors.
I have found out that since the update, Sony has blocked the settings activity sectors so you cannot use shortcuts to access it.
I used to have access Proxy settings in the settings before the blockage in the update.
I still have access to Nyandroid (The easter egg in the settings where there is Ice Cream Sandwiches with Androids in them flying around) because it is a part of the System UI activity sector.
The mobile data settings in the last screenshot both force close due to them not being executable, not a valid activity to simply access, something is missing or Sony decided to stop it (At least add a java error handler for that).

I made a small APK [Tegra2Tableau] with a permanent overlay showing the CPU temperature.
As soon as I'm nothing like a GUI guru (I prefer applications without any GUI) I intentionally made it trivial. Anyone willing to reshape the application and provide more features and better GUI may ask for source code and explanations if necessary.
The APK works with Atrix and probably with other Tegra2 units (untested).
The reason to create such a APK was the suspicion the overclocked kernels start at maximum clock regardless the limitations governor and SetCPU temperature protectors apply.
I found that at the end of my phone boot the CPU temp is well above 70C.

The APK itself (root required) updated 31/12/2011:
https://rapidshare.com/files/426861411/tegra2tableau.apk
Install, select "enable overlay", press OK.
To disable: run again Tegra2Tableau, unselect, press OK. Or just uninstall the APK.
I'm always ready to answer your questions except for the quality of GUI. Again, I don't know how to write a good user interface. OK?
Forgot to mention...
Try the following:
- When enabled, set automatic lock "on", screen timeout "off" (so it stays on) and reboot.
- You'll see the overlay right above the Lock screen with immediate "after the boot" temperature.
Posting this here since I don't yet have 10 posts. I keep losing my main dock maybe once or twice a day. I have CM7.2 w 1.3OC kernal. Sometimes when i go to tap Go SMS which i have in my main dock(5 icons) i lose the dock, the trash can appears and i have to reboot. When i reboot GoSMS icon is gone and have to reload to the dock from AD. Other than this the ROM is rock solid and fast as heck. 4600 quadrant scores. I am very grateful to the devs like jokersax and cougar for graciously sharing their work. thanks for any info you can provide. Here's a screenshot of the result. As you can see this time the icon got duplicated somehow.

Are you using the stock ADW launcher or GO launcher.
There's a few settings where you can turn off the hidden dock. Sometimes it's triggered with a long press or double tap. See if the hide dock is set to any of the settings in adwlauncher setting >general behavior
To restore or turn it off.
Settings>adwlauncher>UI settings> Hidden dockbar settings.
For go launcher, idk maybe someone can help with that on.
Thanks cougar. Yes, I'm using the ADW launcher not go launcher. Only checkmark in Hidden Dockbar menu is "Dockbar". Two others are unchecked.
Hi, new member here.
After reading about the custom roms for quite a while I finally decided to move on from the official ICS 4.0.4 to try the latest. I successfully installed this one: [ROM] [JB 4.3.1] CM10.2/SGT7 for P4WIFI and P4 [20131116]
While it feels overall much more quick and better than ICS and has lots of more advanced settings that are pretty useful, there's one thing I was missing in the settings and I'm simply wondering if it's there and I just couldn't find it.
You see, I often use the tablet to view photos and videos/movies and all my other displays in my home are calibrated to the reference, and when using Samsung's version of ICS 4.0.4 there was a color setting in display settings looking like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
By default it was set to standard which gave the whole image an uncomfortable blue tint, but when set to movie it resembled my other displays enough for me to not go for some more advanced calibration method. In the custom rom the display is set to what would've been standard in the old settings.
So is this a feature only available in Samsung's UI or can I find it somewhere buried in the menus of the custom rom?
If it's not there, are there any advanced color settings apps that can't be found on google play that maybe works even better?
I'm off to try some of the settings apps until I get a reply. Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
I've tried lots of apps and stuff now and nothing can correct the picture like the old setting did.
If there's no way to implement this into the rom I guess I'm rolling back to ICS.
Android 10 is here! You can now update to 52.1.A.0.532.
Dark mode is here! Launcher was not updated, so no gestures, and things like the Google search bar stay light in dark mode as a result. Recent apps / multitasking is the same as it was on Pie.
Digital Wellbeing and other Android 10 goodies are of course available.

yea I just got it as well, feels nice
Having couple of issues on my XZ2 Premium (in Singapore)
1) Fingerprint unlock is very slow or unresponsive now. It seems to unlock fast only with phone in hand and upright towards face.
2) Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and (more importantly to me) the NFC icons are no longer persistent notification on the top bar.
3) Most importantly, the Panorama icon/app is missing in Camera app
I got bluetooth Issue

So I recently acquired an LG K51s, because my old Sony broke due to water penetration.
One annoying thing I really dislike about the phone (apart from the rubbish skin LG uses), is the simple fact when I go into horizontal mode the phone cuts off part of the top screen to make it look seamless (because it has a hole-punch camera cutout).
Now I really don't mind the camera, provided I can use the 6.55" 20x9 720p screen. So I'd like to know, if there a way I can permanently disable it? I know Nova launcher and YouTube can somehow bypass it and use the whole screen.
Thanks in advance!

So this is kinda useless. But I'll keep trying nonetheless!
I suspect the problem is with com.android.systemui. I have managed to extract the APK and will be looking around to see if I can somehow disable a custom setting in System UI Tuner. If that doesn't work I may have to edit it manually and see if I can overwrite it, somehow...

Settings app giving me the stupid black bar (horizontal)
Same issue in Chrone as in the Settings app (horizontal)
But any app that plays videos (in my case it's YouTube) has the option to remove the black bars (horizontal)
Why is no one giving me ANY useful input?
I can even upload the 90mb systemui apk if, anyone has the knowledge and experience to go through it.
Mods, what the on earth is going on???
