Part 2 is not possible to watch, as the background music is way to loud.
Seems to improve as from Part 3.
Beside that - nice idea, and if you work on quality and presentation it'll be even more fun, beside raw informations / how-to's.

I came across a minor bug: when I turn the Data switch off it's button remains highlighted with blue for several minutes, though the notification about data traffic being turned off appears in status bar. The switch turnes blanck immediately in the two cases:
1. If the Data is swithed off when the 3g-icon is present in the status bar (which is primarily not).
2. If any other switch in the panel is turned on or off - the Data switch goes gray the very moment the other switch changes it's status. In any othe case the switch stayes highlighted tough the data traffic itself have already been disabled.
I'm not sure if the issue is specific to Xperia Pro or it affects the hole family of Arcs/Neos/Pro. But I gues it is worth some attention to be payed to.
@kirill_k
I checked the behavior on my device and no issue. It works fine.
I already replaced the icons with diferent ones, because I do not like so much the look :$ But the functionality is superb.
I have question, to change the label from "Auto rotation" to just "Rotation". Which file I need to modify?

(app)(profiles) sixaxis controller app

Sixaxis controler app just got updated to work on jb 4.2.
Can some one please share their profiles for Nova 3, Dead Trigger, Asphalt 7 and mass effect infiltrator.
I am having a hard making profiles on the N 10 due to the buttons being too small.
thnx
Could give these a shot. They are for the nexus 7 so I'm not sure if they will actually work.

Let me know if you try them out! I'm curious if they work.

I can't see why they wouldn't work unless the creator changed the format.

The "Dead Trigger" profile I tried definitely did not work...
It seems that any profiles that are just keymaps (ie: controller up = "up" button, controller down = "down" button, etc.) should port fine, but anything that uses the touch profiles (almost every game) will require new profiles due to the larger screen and different resolution. Buttons will end up being in different places on the screen, and the profiles need to match that.
You'll just have to tweak them to the size of the screen. The cool thing about sixaxis is you can just take a screenshot of the game while you're in it and then import that screenshot as the background of the profile while you edit it. It makes creating those profiles super easy.
I'll do a few and upload them later on.
Here are Dead Trigger and Shadowgun to start with since I already had them installed.

If you can send me a quick screenshot of the in-game HUD showing all the buttons and stuff (power+vol up) I'll build a keymap for them.
I just checked and mass effect is not compatible with n10.
Here is a screenshot for Nova 3
Wow. Didn't know you could emulate touch games. How do you emulate movement on games where the movement road only shows up when you out your thumb on the screen? Like predators for instance?

It turns the analog stick into a simulated "touch" - the game can't tell the difference.
Can anyone make a profile for Modern Combat 4?
Edit: Scratch that. Making profiles is simple enough. The controller works in pretty much every aspect off the start, except for aiming and a few misc. controls (throwing grenades, crouching, sprinting, and opening the boost menu).
Does anyone know how to reduce the sensitivity of the dualshock3 sticks? On the Nexus 7 when I use the right stick to look around it is much less sensitive than on the Nexus 10. This makes the N10 very difficult to control and requires very fine movements of the stick.
EDIT: you can change the sensitivity in preferences/button properties

I don't see the links for your uploads.
In Nova 3 when I hold the left analog stick to move forward it will stop moving after a few seconds and I will have to let go and push forward again. Any fix for that?

Yeah Icouldn't find download buttons for them after I uploaded either. Thought maybe they had to review all uploads before they go live or something...
You're having that trouble with the profile I uploaded in this thread? I'll have a look at it.
Yep, I'm using yours, thanks. In tried making the button bigger and smaller but it didn't help.

Try editing that button and turning off relative touch, think I turned that on by accident.

[FREE] SuperBeam | Share files using WiFi Direct | NFC/QR Pairing | Testers needed

Hello,
I developed SuperBeam app which allows easy and fast file sharing between Android devices using WiFi direct. Devices can be paired using NFC or QR codes. Checkout the video below to see it in action:
Play Store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.majedev.superbeam
Please refer to the original post on general forums for more details about the app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2177133
Some users reported that QR code scanner is not working for Xperia P and Xperia U, and I'd appreciate if someone could test it and provide me with feedback.
Update:
Released version 2.1.1 with a workaround for Xperia P and U, by rotating screen automatically to landscape mode. Please test it and update me. Thanks.
Update 2:
As members reported, it seems to work better now. Although app icon and title is hidden, it functions pretty well and you can access options menu. This doesn't mean that I won't attempt to fix it, but rather leave it as-is until I get my hands on an Xperia U or P and solve it for good.
very good app and very fast
but in sony U i have a problem ,when i make a photo (qr code from tablet ) sony s monitor is black on half...
how can i fix the problem??

Thank you very much for reporting back. Actually you are not the first user who faces this issue, but I don't have an Xperia U to test on.
Could you please provide more details on the following:
- Are you running a custom ROM?
- What Android version is your device running?
- Could you please enable screen rotation, and try the QR scanner on landscape mode?
The app is very usefull but if we start in portrait mod it gives half-screen black but in landscape mod works like a charm
Running TerraRom V2
Android 4.0.4
If need any help just PM me!

Then it's either the ROM or Sony's kernel that is causing the issue. I'll make a workaround for Xperia U by forcing landscape mode on QR code scanner. Thanks for your feedback.

Thank you for reporting back.
The problem is that I can't get my hand on an Xperia P nor U. I've written a workaround by forcing landscape mode specifically for these models, and it should be uploaded today.
I'm looking into the other issue you mentioned, and will include it on today's update
I've uploaded a new version (2.1.1) with a workaround for Xperia P and U. It automatically switches to landscape mode on these devices. I'd appreciate if someone could test it and report back.

yup. and those 3 options are working as it should.
Working fine, tested between XP, XS and XNEO.

Thank you all for the feedback, it was really helpful.
As long as the problem is cosmetic now, I'll leave things as-is until I get my hand on an SXP or SXU and understand the root cause of the problem. I have some other cool features to work on
Happy SuperBeaming
New replay,
XS and XP freezing only restart helps, transferred files are broken, same on both devices.

U-Disco - Entertaining Lights in the Illumination Bar - now also for SP

I have added support for Xperia SP to U-Disco so I figured I will mention that in here too.
The original thread is over in the Xperia U forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970167
It will give you different light patterns in the illumination bar.
Some of them require music to work, other will light up anyway.
It only works on Xperia U, Xperia P or Xperia SP, and it also requires ROOT to get individual access to the LEDs.
Get the free version here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rundgong.udisco
The pro version has more colors and can run in the background. Otherwise they are the same.
Get the pro version here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rundgong.udiscopro
I have not tried it on SP myself but let me know if you find any bugs. I'll try to fix them.
Thanks to @DooMLoRD for describing the leds in another thread, and @sagar29 for testing it on SP
It works in my sp and it looks amazing thanks

Hi, leds on SP are surely better supported now: the "preview" during choosing the color works now, and I guess it starts for example the strobe a bit faster (still over 1 second delay after setting the color).
Rainbow and others where we can't choose a color are running instantly.
Hi! Thanks for the great app. There's an issue though. Just copying my own review from Play Market:
Doesn't work in Walkman with headphones plugged in. If you plug out the headphones and then plug them in again, LEDs begin to flash until a song changes. Would be great if you could fix the bug. Best regards.

I have the latest firmware installed (254); no sound mods. Tried to soft/hard reset the phone also, but that hasn't changed anything. Discolight by Sagar Kar has no such issue (but seems a bit buggy in general, that's why I'd like this app to be fully-functional). Can anyone confirm the bug? Or that's me who's so «lucky»?

I don't see that behavior. But there will be strange effects if both the walkman app and this app writes to the LEDs at the same time.
There may be flickering and maybe odd colors as well. Otherwise I think it works.

Thanks for replying!
OK, I got it. Today I had reinstalled FW from SUS with full wipes, then installed ES Explorer and U-Disco. As a last step I disabled "Music beat light effect". The general order of actions is following: 1. I launch U-Disco, choose a Coloured beat with any colour, and Speakers as an Audio source; 2. I launch Walkman and play any song – LEDs are flashing; 3. I stop the playback in Walkman and open any other song in ES Explorer – it works as well; 4. I stop the song and quit U-Disco, plug in headphones, then repeat the first step; 5. I launch Walkman and play any song – nothing happens; 6. I switch to ES Explorer and try my luck there – no success; 7. Then I return to Walkman, start playback and then plug the headphones out – LEDs still aren't flashing; 8. I simply switch to any other song inside Walkman and voila! Everything works as a charm again even after plugging the headphones back in! 9. But when I switch the song once more with the hp's inserted – LEDs flicker several times and die out. I've tried any possible variations, different headphones. Tried to reset the phone after installing and so on – nope.
What can be the reason of such a behaviour? Something is obviously not working as it should (quite possibly it's my phone) if you experience no such issue, but what? I would be endlessly thankful for any ideas or suggestions.

Good description. Now I can reproduce it also.
I have no idea why it behaves like that though. It's not like that on Xperia U.
It might be a bug in the audio framework, but I really don't know.
thx.. its work and awesome
Version 1.7 is out.
It adds some effects that use the camera flash instead of the illumination bar.
Using the camera flash does not require root, and it will also work on most other devices as well.
The new effects are are a flash strobe light and also lighting the flash according to the beat of the music.

Yeah, it's a bit like my current music patterns, so it should be possible. I'll have a look when I get some time over

Good description. Now I can reproduce it also.
I have no idea why it behaves like that though. It's not like that on Xperia U.
It might be a bug in the audio framework, but I really don't know.

It seems like the LEDS only work when music goes out throught internal speaker. When you have Headphones or bluetooth speaker connected, no LED will light up. With and Without U-disco

Gotta be the best first post in this forum.
As for the topic, XDA app and L/Nova Launcher.
I stream a lot of music and have the phone in my pocket. I was used to changing the track by holding volume key on my OnePlus. The G4 didn't allow this, so I found an app that works with Google Music player.

It's double tap instead of long press. I guess we'll have to wait for root for long press. The only issue is the first tap raises the volume, but I can deal with that.
I like wave launcher give me access to 5 apps from any screen easily and fast

Yes, I must agree. Great browser and fast
I am using a tracking app named Best Cell Phone Tracking App . It is the a good app for tracking other devices. Like track fmaily, friends etc.
My favorite app is Swipe Navigation. It works excellent & fast with the LG G4 and gives me full-screen everywhere, a experience without soft-navigation buttons. I'm one of those who never really get along with the soft-nav buttons taking up alot of screen space.
Only problem is that root is needed... but its totally worth it. One of the great reasons to root!

Hey got a G4 myself recently, so the first thing i did is to make my app compatible with it, including DualView support
So if someone needs a more geeky app for using the IR-transmitter of the G4 instead of QuickRemote feel free to try my app Its mostly compatible to LIRC, has Database and can export IR codes
Since i saw that the G4 has a learning feature - I'm planning to add learning-feature as soon as i figure out how it works (If someone would like to help with this just drop a line ). For link see signature
My personal favourite is Camscanner. I did a small video on it to show how it works

I am a huge fan of SideBar Pro. Nothing specific to the G4 though
