Hi, i have one question which seems to be pretty simple to me (or is it?). Is there a way to modify system files in a proper way to change the save destination of Quick Memo screen shots to external_sd? I find this apk very useful, by one day I make around 20 "remember notes" so it's kinda taking a lot of space of my L9 small sd internal memory. Thanks for any possible answers.
Also, sorry for my weird english, I'm from Poland (greetings by the way)

Have you tried accesing settings from within quick memo? Most apps will have a setting to allow change of storage destination for data. Just bring up quick memo then press menu button on phone and it should show settings. Let me know if this helps.

Odp: Changing Quick Memo save destination to external_sd
If that would be so easy I would have done it right away, unfortunately it's not. There's no setting option, I may be wrong but quick Memo isn't even in the apps manager
Ps: sorry, my bad it is in system/app. So can this file be modified properly or?..

Create a symlink from the internal storage location to the sdcard.

Don't forget to move your notes to the new location before deleting the old folder and re-creating it as a symlink.

Ah thank for the input; but what I meant is where they put the temporary image (of what you set from an album, per sey) into the device. I did a system path dump on a text file and searched for jpg/png and didn't find anything
dunno but i think it's stored in an database
Hey guys,
Currently we have a very annyoing problem with the hardware keyboard. Imagine the following situation:
You have a country specific keyboard layout (like a german QWERTZ layout)
You don't want to use the pre-installed ASUS on screen keyboard
What happens now is the following:
You deselect ASUS' on screen keyboard
As soon as you do this, your hardware keyboard loses its custom layout and reverts to a generic QWERTY one
To "solve" this issue you normally need to do the following:
Switch to the localized ASUS keyboard once you dock your Prime
Switch back to the keyboard of your choice once you undock the Prime
I think I don't have to say that this behaivior is less than optimal.
I played a bit around with the system files and found out how to change the default keyboard layout to what ever you want to have.
Here is the result:
I don't need to ever select the ASUS keyboard again
I still could use the ASUS keyboard to change the keyboard layout (I could change the hardware layout to QWERTY for example)
I finally don't need to hassle around with different keyboards anymore
Okay now enough of that, here is how to do it:
First some facts:
We need to replace 2 /system files, so this may break any further OTAs
AFAIK the files weren't changed since the first update and normally those files aren't subject to changes, so the risk of breaking OTAs is not that high
If you do a backup of those files you can always restore that backup before applying OTAs
Requirements:
A rooted Prime
Some app to edit the /system partition (e.g. "Root Explorer")
The ability to read the entire post and to follow my instructions
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage - software or hardware - you may do to your Prime. Please don't do this mod if you have no idea what I am talking about.
(I used Root Explorer for this, so if you use another app the steps may be a bit different)
So let's get started:
Undock your Prime (just to be sure)
Open Root Explorer and go to "/system/usr/xt9/keychars/"
Copy the file which represents your keyboard's language (e.g. qwerty-de_DE.kcm for my german Prime dock)
Now go to "/system/usr/keychars/" (note the missing "xt9" in the path)
Mount your system as "read/write" (the little button with the caption "Mount R/W")
Rename the file "asusdec.kcm" to "asusdec.kcm.bak"
Paste your own "qwerty-xy_XY.kcm" file here (the one you copied before)
Rename that file to "asusdec.kcm"
Go to "/system/usr/xt9/keylayout/"
Now copy the file you want to use ("qwerty-de_DE.kl" for my german dock) (the file is called the same as the last one you copied, only the extension is different)
Go to "/system/usr/keylayout/" (again the "xt9" is missing from the path here)
Rename the file "asusdec.kl" to "asusdec.kl.bak"
Paste your own file and rename it to "asusdec.kl"
Reboot
After the reboot, dock your Prime and test the results. If you did everything right, you should be able to select a non ASUS keyboard while keeping your custom keyboard layout.
If you want to revert the changes, just delete the two files we changed and rename the backups back to the original name.
THX for this MOD
That is right what i needed.
Wow. Are you guys the forum police? He posted in the wrong spot. Who freakin cares... Sometimes I think it would do alot of people good to just get out and have some fun.
edit... moderator, feel free to delete this post as it is most assuredly off topic.
Works Great, thanks.
Thx for this great mod worked like a charm! And its easy to revert to stock if an OTA comes around. Renaming some files isnt that much of a hassle.
Now which onscreen keyboard would you guys suggest? The original android one is ok but i'm missing the numbers.
Thumb keyboard

Swiftkey doesn't really work very well for me. it glitches up massively when trying in polaris office. But when undocked works fine. wierd....
This worked fine for me until I did the last firmware upgrade. I use Swiftkey as my soft keyboard and now I get its suggestions at the bottom of the screen all the time. Like the user above Polaris Office doesn't work at all when docked.
How can I get rid of Swiftkey when docked and use the true Asus keyboard then, is it only possible with an app?

Thank you !
Thank you very much for your help, the keyboard problem was really annoying! Now, it works really well.
This works on tf101also but the existing filenames had no d in them
"asusec.kcm"
"asusec.kl"
Many thanks

Really cool! I'll try it as soon as I get home!
But one question remains for me: on Chrome my keyboard doesn't work properly. I have special characters, since I'm Hungarian, with the proper localized keyboard. My chars (eg. á, ő, ú, etc.) work perfectly in every app, even in the stock browser, but not in Chrome! Really weird stuff! Don't an of you have any ideas why that happens?
Doesn't work on Jelly Bean Any hints
Thanks
Got the kcm and kl file from an old rom and it works now

Is there anyway to hide the icons that come up when you have a MicroSD or the keyboard dock, I like to keep a nice tidy statusbar and having 2 icons there permanently kinda ruins that.

Only way I found is to turn off Notifications on the Stock ICS Quick Settings Panel. But that turns off ALL notifications. I guess it's not so much of a big deal really. I'll probably get used to it until someone finds out how to.
Someone could delete the icons for the notifications.

Yeah, decompile the systemui.apk, delete or change the .png files (guess if your just replacing, you don't have to decompile), recomplie .apk, push to phone via adb or copy/paste via Root explorer.
BUT then it is still savings space for those icons even if you make them empty png files no? That is, does the xml file look for the png and set a size for it like 50px x 75px so it would still hold a 50px space or does it not care about the image size so you could go to a 1x1 empty png?

XML shouldn't consider size at all, just .PNG name. That being said, you could also remove reference from the applicable .XML file (have to find it first) and that should take care of it all together. At least in theory. I think????

Sure, just remember that if you unlock you will never receive another update or support OF ANY KIND from Asus.

Thread bump! I'm interested in doing this, but don't really know where to start. Do you have a n00b guide you could link me to, to read up on decompiling apks, editing XML files, and identifying which I should be editing? Particularly, if I could edit the aforementioned XML file not only to not know the icons but possibly to not display the message and icons to begin with, I'd be thrilled. Next step would be figuring out how to make an app for that, although I'd imagine it would need root and would also be a whole new can of worms for me to open. =P
The dev for the Energy ROM Series has developed a way to swipe away these notifications and it will be implemented in the next update. Of course this requires you to be unlocked so you can flash it but trust me, once you unlock your Prime and start flashing roms you'll really see how the Prime SHOULD perform.

Do you think it's possible to make a recovery zip install with just this feature?

It is, but then you'd have to deodex your ROM (because most of the code changes are in the framework wiles). At that point, you might as well install a custom ROM.
And guys... simply putting up blank PNGs won't do the trick. The notification will be even more ugly to look at, because it'll be an empty space that you can't get rid of.
The way I did it is modify the java code for a few system apps to make the notifications dismissible. More elegant that way and I still don't understand why Asus didn't do this to begin with !!

The only sound that can be changed on the Sony Tablet S or P is the Default Notification sound. To change the sound, select Settings, select Sound, then select Default Notification. A popup will appear showing Android System. Select Android System and a list of sounds will be shown. Select the sound you want, then touch OK. If you have a file manager like ES File Explorer, it too will be shown on the popup. Select the file manager if you want to find and select a sound file you have installed on your tablet.

How do I use my own music or sound file as a Ringtone or Notification tone?

This would be great since it would more easily allow you to select the correct version of your saved theme.
you mean preview to see where you are up to ? if you want a preview of the home screen,simply copy your wallpaper too your pc,rename it the same name as your theme,ie if theme is called new then rename the pic new,then copy it back over to my colortheme/exported/thumbs

Hi kwest12,
Unfortunately not yet. The front end of Themer will always receive more attention than the editing side. I'll speak to the developers today about this and see how easy it would be to implement. I agree it does make things a lot easier, however the process to implement this can be very complicated.

Broken screen.... transfer modified theme help
I shattered my old phone's screen, so I cannot see anything from the phone. However, I can look at the SD card from my computer (the external is is my new phone). I would like to import a theme that I extensively modified on my old phone. I thought I had saved it/exported it... I guess I did not, as I see no files in the directory mentioned in previous posts.
From what I can see on my computer, it looks like the theme I worked on exists on the internal SD card. However, it is not neatly compiled in a .zip file. Is there a correct way to move these files over to my new phone so that I can use this theme without re-modifying everything?
Thank you!

When you export a file - it's saved in the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/Themer/Exported/zip folder as a .zip file. All you need to do a place this file (don't extract it) into the same place on another phone. If that folder isn't there - export any theme in order for Themer to create the zip folder.
