Hey everyone
as I am tinkering around with my Z2, I asked myself, if it would be possible to toggle the xreality-modes by some handy shortcut or widget.
And then I saw tasker. I didn't use is, yet. So, I got very motivated, started it and had to find out, that I am not really able to tell, how to do that.
So, you guys came to my mind. Does anyone know, how to do that?
Thanks so far
Not possible, it is drm key dependant so it wont work otherwise.
I dont think shortcuts will work due to the nature of sonys coding
Ok, that is an answer, I can get along with
didn't know that...
Thanks!

I would like to develop a new lockscreen for the my Vibrant. I've looked at some of the app versions. I like the concepts, but it seems like a lot of people complain about battery life and lag of the screen. I would like to make an actual lockscreen, not an overlay.
I am currently running Bionix 1.2.1. I would like to either add the lockscreen as an option on the menu provided in the Bionix Rom or flash the lockscreen in clockwork.
My first questions is, is this possible? Second question is how, or where is there somewhere i can look to get started?
I've looked around in the forums and I haven't seen any guides or any good info on this.
This would be my first jump into development for Android, but I'm willing to put in the time and effort as long as I can find a starting point in this area or get some help.
If this is built deep into the ROM and a difficult process I can find a different project, but I'm always up for a challenge. Any help would be appreciated.

It's built-in quite deep, a lot of files need to be edited. Whitehawkx actually PMed me on how to do this the other day, and it sounds quite complicated.
You'll first obviously need to create your .png's to dictate the lockscreens appearance. Then you will have to have coding knowledge, along with knowledge of smali/baksmali and editing .xmls. Thats a VERY brief overview until someone more knowledgable jumps in.
I can do some programming. I've done C++ and I have done some visual basic for work. I just haven't done any Java. I think with all the information here and on Google's developers page I could work my way though it. I would just need a general guideline. I can edit the .png's. I don't think that would be much of a problem.
It might be easier if I could edit an existing one. I like the concept of the puzzle lock. I just think it is kind of hokey. It would also be nice to have a little be more info on the screen and to have emails show up.
Would you be willing to send me what Whitehawkx sent to you? I'm not sure if that is ok.
I don't mind researching my way through it and learning as I go, I was just hoping someone had done something similar.

modifying would be the way to go... and unfortunately it has nothing to do with java coding, but dalvik bytecode (which is a major pain... untermensch & whitehawk are heroes with that bytecode).
Anyways, I believe it's in services.jar. You'd have to pull out classes.dex from it and decompile. check this post on how to decompile. and you're going to need the smali & baksmali jars...
anyways after you decompile you're stuck with lots of .smali files which contains the bytecode you would need to modify... it's really difficult to understand it heh

So you are using the other four lockscreens but want to get the rotary to work as well and are looking for what files are necessary for that to happen, correct?
The files I changed to get the rotary working on KB1 are as follows
Framework-res.apk
~public.xml
~strings.xml [I think one change here]
~Images are already in stock frameworks and already in place
android.policy.jar
~New smali used for rotary. All have "rotary" in their title
~changes to LockPatternKeyGuardView.smali
Settings.apk
~Changes to DisplaySettings.smali
~Changes to arrays.xml
I believe these are all the files I had to modify to get the rotary working.

heres what he said when i inquired. unfortunately he didnt go into much detail, i did send him another PM....but keep in mind these are the steps to simply inject an outside lockscreen into your current ROM, not necessarily how to build one from scratch
hopefully these steps may still give you an idea of where everything is located
I always wanted one that opens from the middle of the screen like a matinee curtain. That would be awesome.

Thanks guys! I'll start working with that and see what I can come up with. It looks like I have a lot to learn about it.
I'll try working through it and hopefully I will come up with some more specific questions that may be easier to answer.
Also, if you think of something that may help, let me know. I would appreciate it very much.
With the starting points already given i would build the lockscreen using aosp then port it to your rom. Once compiled you can decompile then different it

Hi, as we all know androids notification is quite great. Apple however took this concept and in my opinion improved it. Many developer also seemd to like it and there are many apps on cydia that offers some customization.
What I'm looking for is an app or any way really that lets you customize the drop down window.
I'd like to b able to change wallpaper, change color of text, add widgets and info for fast updates.
I have spent many hours googling but I cant find anything like this. Is there any way to do this or does someone have thw ability to make souch an app?
I hope
I'm pretty sure access to the android notification can not be done through an app. Its like a core system process that probably can't be edited in real time. You would have to embed some sort of "notification drop down settings" into the OS.
But he is right Apple should not be ahead of us in any way..
Has no one left with common computer skills?
There's many topics on this here one just for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363528
Google and search button's seems to be extra these days
Good stuff I'll have to try. I don't know about everyone else about the search function, but I like to use my phone as a PC so the search does not work all that great through the android browser. Then filtering through the results.on this smaller than PC screen will give anyone a headache. Maybe the xda app is better idk..

Hey guys I have a question about Halo vs Floatifications. I cant really decide what I like best. One thing i really do like about Floatifications is I can turn off certain notifications and only receive the ones I want on the "Flotation". I have yet to find a way to do this with Halo, unless that has to do with the Black/white list option (not really sure what that means :/) But anyway just wanted to see what you guys like best Thanks
Hi! I just made the jump from jailbroken ios to android (Samsung s7, not yet rooted) so forgive me if my question appears naive! I'd appreciate any pointers you could give me. Here goes:
Is it possible to make a widget that can directly toggle on and off a default toggle in settings?
For example, in [settings->accessibility] there is a toggle to switch Mono Audio on and off. Is it possible to create a widget specifically to switch this action on and off, that I could use much like a torch/wifi/data toggle widget on the homescreen?
I see an old XDA thread hinting at the existence of a Mono Audio Widget. That sounds like exactly what I want!! But I can't find it.. any ideas??
Thanks in advance!
Slightly disappointed to get no response.. is this not possible or just not interesting? Or did I post in in the wrong place?

damn..
I used to know about something regarding this and sadly I forgotten.
In cyanogenmod roms,u can simply edit tiles and layout.
It helps u to add or remove toggles.
But in a non-rooted s7,I'm afraid u cant do that(I guess).
Btw,
in last two months, I found xda Q/A section is dead in a way.
Search box and xda assist seems a little more helpul.

Hi Everyone,
First of all, thanks for the amazing forum community. Ive been able to achieve more than I would have originally thought possible on this v30s ux/ui. It's my favourite piece of hardware that I've ever owned and my goal is to make the ux UI be worthy of it's amazing innards.
Id like the ability to modify the quick settings and notification pane - change the look/feel + icons, optimize features; but I have not yet been able to find a way to do this. I'm guessing it may not be possible, but I'd like to know if anyone has any ideas? I don't mind putting an unreasonable amount of hours into this; just keen to know options.
Cheers.
