Hi, I have a Galaxy S II HD LTE E120S, Build number: ir2.E120SKSJMK1 by Kynn. The ROM I've used before is ir2-v2 which has the option in Setting to enable Shortcuts in Locksreen but since I updated to the newer ROM I've downloaded from a Chinese forum that option has been somewhat disappeared (I've tried all the methods I could find on the Internet including changing from Pattern to Swipe and None and such but the option didn't show up). I've also tried updating to the stock ROM directly from Kies (which has the same build number) but the option didn't appear either (just like Samsung hides it on purpose).
All I want is that that option is back so that I can add Camera shortcuts for fast access, and using a third-party lockscreen just slows the phone down. I've already tried the Nova Launcher method (like in this link) but didn't work because "Shortcuts (.lockscreenshortcut.locscreenshortcutsettings)" didn't show up in Activities.
So is there a way to edit some files in system folder (I have root) so that I can enable shortcuts or any other ways to copy the lockscreen shortcuts enabling option from ir2.v2 ROM to this ROM? (I prefer this ROM to ir2.v2 because it's less laggy and battery consuming). These two ROMs are somewhat the same so will it be possible?
Thanks in advance. Sorry for my bad English.

First of all hello to everyone
I'd like to know something about galaxy s 2 home rotation.
I've bought this device yesterday.It is branded (the operator name is 3) and i have updated it to the latest firmware (2.3.5 trough kies).Now i have the base band version I9100NEKI2 and the build version gingerbread.XWKI8.I haven't noticed befroe upgrading if the home automatically rotates with the device...i have noticed that the rotation happens in any other situations such as writing sms..modifying settings...i'd like to know if this is the standard behaviuor for this device..for example is a limitation of thr new firmware ... or someone can help me understanding if i have made something wrong?i have to use 3d party apps for doing this? Thanks to everyone
Do you mean how to prevent auto rotation? It's located in the drag down notification panel or in the settings..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Reading his post he must be italian.
Well home screen does not rotate.
TW doesn't allow home rotation.
If you want to do that you just have to install another launcher from the market (Go Launcher, Launcher Pro, ...)
Hi,
I'm currently working on a project to secure a Samsung Galaxy Tab2 10.1 for kiosk usage and have gone down the path of using a custom rom. My device is rooted and I've stripped the stock rom of almost all apps, but have found myself somewhat stuck when it comes to locking the tablet to the browser app (preventing access to settings, status bar, notification bar and desktop so widgets can't be added or new shortcuts). I realise I can get apps to do this task such as SureLock, but wanted to explore what I can achieve using a custom rom. The tablets have a case which prevents access to exterior buttons, so all I'm worried about is the on-screen lock down.
I guess where I'm at is trying to replace the launcher with an existing apk for which I cannot access the source, such as the Samsung stock browser. Is this even possible - effectively wrapping an apk in my own app which behaves as a launcher? Are there already any projects or discussions on this - I have searched but have not found anything past looking at the Home SDK? Or perhaps I'm missing something here, is there a way to fire up the stock browser on boot (I have init.d support in the rom) in fullscreen preventing access to the status bar? Any suggestions will be gratefully received!
Cheers,
Phil
Hello kind strangers,
Have searched for the last two weeks for answers to my questions/needs/requirements but have come up with zilch.
Would very much appreciate your assistance.
I've rooted my htc m8 and flashed viper on it, I'm very pleased so far with the performance but and it's a big but, there are a few things lacking .
Here's a list of what I've been looking for:
1. Something that allows me to quick compose, quick reply, etc text messages from the lockscreen without me having to switch off my security password /pattern.
I've tried textra and glowfly, but none of these hit the spot.
I've been using Activator on my iPhone for years and am very surprised that Android doesn't have something similar.
Is there somethin like activator that allows you to make your own custom gestures as well as allowing you to change the functions of your hardware buttons?
Viper allows you to limited gestures etc, I want to be able to do gestures etc on my lockscreen, that actually opens apps and does things as opposed to taking me through the unlock process (am I goin too far now?:/)
2. I haven't used tasker yet due to being so new to Android, but have heard great things about it and will be looking into this more.
I'm assuming tasker allows users to swap profiles?
3. Multiwindows: I understand that Omni Rom comes with this function, but I don't want this Rom:/
What would be the best way to multitask without having to flash another rom?
4. What's the best floating app that you guys have used?
5. I really like customising my phone, viper does allow this , but is there another Rom that does this better without me losing sense? I thought I would dislike sense but it's started to grow on me.
6. Lockscreen apps - I've looked at both widgetlocker and dashclock and none of them appeal cause of the lack of security.
Is there somethin g that intergrates with the stock lockscreen, which will display notifications better, allow theming , widgets, as well as help with point 1 (quick compose and quick reply etc)?
I apologise in advance for the noobish questions, but I've spent more than a week searching for the answers and haven't found anything.
Would very much appreciate your input and thank you for taking the time to read this post.
Regards,
Swat Valley

Welcome to android.
Many of your wants and needs can be met by using the mod called the Xposed Framework. This little guy allows "hooks" on to various calls to the system and redirects them to the Xposed Framework and the modules that you add to it. With this enabled you can do everything from stop ads to mod the status bar, lock screen, themes, and so much more. One caveat: This is currently not working with ART runtime, but not likely you are running that anyway on the One yet. It's also already included in your rom.
Notifications from a a Pattern/PIN/Password locked screen:
http://gs4.wonderhowto.com/how-to/a...protected-lock-screen-your-galaxy-s4-0149781/
(yes it says for the GS4, but the module is listed to work with the One as well) http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.labtech.mod
Custom Gestures:
Lockscreen -
HTC Gesture Modifier http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.mohammadag.htcgesturemodifier
HTC Sense 6 Toolbox http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.sensetoolbox.six
Anywhere but Lockscreen (unless you use a custom LS) -
Gesture Navigation + Multitouch Gestures http://repo.xposed.info/module/ind.fem.black.rayyan.xposed.gesturenavigation
All in One Gestures https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures
GMD GestureControl https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodmooddroid.gesturecontrol
Tasker:
http://tasker.dinglisch.net/guides.html
MultiWindow:
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.zst.xposed.halo.floatingwindow
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.lovewuchin.xposed.xmultiwindow
Different interpretations of multitasking. There are also tons of different side bar type apps that you can access from swiping from an edge of the screen to activate shortcuts to your favorite apps, contacts, settings, recents, etc. that are accessible from anywhere but the stock lockscreen.
Swipepad https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.conduction.swipepad.android
Glovebox https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.glovebox
Sidebar https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rootuninstaller.sidebar
And so on... (my fav is Swipepad, especially after the last update which improved the performance greatly)
Floating apps:
Sorry, don't really use them.
Custom Sense roms:
Not saying Viper is the best, but you won't really find much that will be MORE customizable than a Viper rom. There are a few on the same level though, such as InsertCoin, Renovate, SkyDragon, and RayGlobe currently.
Lockscreen:
You can enable adding widgets (also in Settings > Security) and the AOSP lockscreen (like on a Nexus device) from the Venom Tweaks app as well. I like some lockscreen apps, like WidgetLocker, but at the end of the day, the 3rd party lockscreen replacements are either lacking in functionality(there are some that do have good security options, most do not), use more battery power, and end up lagging because when you wake the phone it might take a sec for the app to turn on as well where typically the stock lockscreen will be instantaneous. As far as Notifications - well, the phone has that option too, under Settings > Security > Notification Settings. Another alternative is some like Metro Notifications https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nlucas.wp7notificationslite which displays notifications a la Windows Phone style (and iOS) as banners, giving you options to swipe to dismiss or click to launch.
Hope that will get you started on your quest.
Hi, i just bought a Chinese dash cam/rear view mirror on amazon, i think its made by phisung
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00P7G994A?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00
it works well, but the android system is quite dated (4.0.4), and some of the setting are missing or dont work such as brightness adjustment.
so far i've rooted it using kingo and installed titanium and root explorer, and backed up the existing partitions using adb, but what i'm quite keen to do is modify the main launcher screen. at present i cant change the 7 apps on the main windows phone style launcher screen and I want to replace them with alternatives or replace the launcher.
I've sideloaded nova and a couple of other launchers, but whilst I can load them from the app draw, there is no option to set a new default launcher, and the home button always loads the pre-installed launcher, which is some chinese launcher listed as DX_launcher02 in the app draw and daxun.launcher.activity in system/ app folder, I've tried apps like launcher switcher, which have no effect on the default as the options is greyed out.
I've also tried freezing the built in launcher with Titanium, thinking it might then default to nova, but the home button( both hardware and soft buttons) then just loads a blank screen, so I used the recent app menu to go back to titanium and unfreeze the stock launcher.
I'm suspecting there might be a more complicated way to change the launcher, either by editing apk properties and changing the default app to point the shortcuts/tiles to new apps, or by setting a new default launcher, so if anyone can help, it would be much appreciated?
My friend bought exact same model.
He has problem with auto shutdown. Navigating or not - recording or not - there will be pop up that countdowns 10sec auto shutdown.
To abort shutdown - touch the screen. And of course - touching the screen doesn't help.
Have you found any solution for this?

Hi I do not know too much about this Android device, but I bought one (Crane_cvr) frm Tingway and it was full of Chinese software. Trying to delete it was not successful and loading Google Play was impossible. The sellers sent me an "new" h200-2.img file which I installed with Phoenixsuite. However, my functionality of the GPS disappeared. I have even connected another working GPS, to no prevail. Since it seems you have lot more knowledge, do you have an idea how I can get the GPS working? I have now been trying for 2 months. GPS Toolbox / Test / etc .. do not pick up any satellites, but it seems the GPS is detected.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
my mirror for unknown reason got bootloop :/
Maybe someone know what firmware will be good for Phisung Android 4.4 ROM 16GB A33 Quad core model?
https://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/...70819957744860
Hello people.
I use a OnePlus X with the stock ROM (Android 6.0.1). I never made any ROM changes. From last week to now, out of the blue, the notification bar is not working properly (video here > gofile.io/d/KvLznW)
I'm using the Rootless Launcher (Pixel Launcher). The bar only works on the home screen, either vertically or horizontally. If I open an app, the bar doesn't work vertically. And if I use the original launcher, the bar does not open at all.
Is it more likely to be a hardware or software problem?
What I've tried (and it didn't work):
- Restart the device
- Enable the guest option in the user menu
- Reset the device to factory settings
In view of this, I even thought about changing the ROM, but I did not feel confident because of the diversity of information about certain ROMs and versions, considering that I want the most stable and "official" version possible.
I would prefer NOT to have to change ROMs. Unless it's the only solution (and don't come up with other problems). Can anyone help me?
