Collection of various tweaks for CyanogenMod/AOSP/TouchWiz and few apps (Firefox, Adobe Reader, MX Player). This module currently offers over 20 tweaks. All the tweaks were previously available as standalone modules. I enable most of them on all of my devices. Because of that and the increased number of tweaks, it no longer makes sense to offer them separately.
List of tweaks:
Disable Su Indicator - Disable # (pound/hash) indicator in status bar
Always Software Menu - Allows to have both software menu button and menu mapped to key on CM. Workaround for this.
No Toast Icons
Pocket First - Make Pocket the first option when sharing
Desk Clock Alarm - Make Alarm the default tab in stock/Google Desk Clock
One Way Brightness - Make auto brightness go only up
Battery Light Disabler - Battery light will not shine when in downtime (Interruptions) or when the screen is on
One Hand Zoom Enabler (Firefox/Adobe Reader)
Battery History XXL - Enlarge the stock settings battery history - from 10 to 30 records
Native Freezer - Disable and re-enable any 3rd party app from System Settings
Minimum Brightness (MX Player/system) - Change the minimum brightness level from usual 10 to 1

Will the minimum brightness app have a min brightness setting? I have an IPS screen on my lg g4. Will this lower my actual brightness? I use my phone at night and the minimum brightness is too bright. I've tried screen filters but I would prefer an app that actually lowers the brightness past stock.

Since there's actual UI, I will probably eventually add such option... But please be aware that it's still the same feature that GravityBox already offers (so if GB doesn't break anything for you, you can use it already).
Minimum brightness is not working in my device. What system apps and/or framework files from my ROM would you need me to send to you to fix it? It's a stock ROM, Android 5.1.1, my phone is a BQ Aquaris M5.
Thanks!
thank you for this nice module (and your old ones it replaced for me)
would you please be so kind as to include changelogs in the play store? I kinda hate getting updates but having no idea what it changed until i dig in the app for something that looks new
Thanks for this great module I was using some seperate modules from you but one big module is always nice. I can confirm Always Software Menu works on my S5 running CM13. Battery history xxl was working on CM12.1 and I even think it worked on CM13 Unofficial alpha version but on newer CM13 versions it doesn't works anymore. Is it possible to port it over to CM13 one day? And in the past the separate module disable toast icons didn't do anything on my S5 running CM13 for example when I'm in Root Explorer and enable R/W the root message appeared with the SuperSu icon but since 2 days I use the separate module from you NoToastIcons.v0.1-disable-all and that works great no toast icons anymore. I didn't try No toast icons from the All my... module.
Thanks for your great works.

The "No Toast Icons" tweak in this module disables icons in all toasts so it should work for you as well.
Few trivial tweaks already work with CM13 but the rest requires me actually flashing CM13 ROM - which I will do in the upcoming days or weeks on my S5.

It may not work on all devices (because of differences in display drivers/settings etc) plus it probably doesn't lower the minimum brightness when adaptive (automatic) brightness is used (though i didn't investigate that much...).
Great job with the one hand firefox enabler. I can now finally stick exclusively to firefox. Thanks!

I keep adaptive brightness disabled most of the time. If there's anything I can do to help making it work in more devices, you tell me.
Latest version 0.1.3 adds "Chrome Tabs Toolbar On Phone". Normally you could lower your DPI (system wide or per app if that's an option) to get the tabs toolbar in Chrome (that could however make the UI too tiny). The better option is to use "Screen (dp)" option in App Settings which get's the job done just right. This tweak reuses the same hacks to get the tablet layout with tabs in Chrome while it adds one important change - it changes the User Agent back from "tablet" to "phone" so you still get the mobile/phone version of various sites instead of the full featured tablet/desktop ones.

Version 0.2 should make all the tweaks compatible with CM13/Android 6.0. If there's any issue, let me know (I didn't check against clean AOSP).
Native Freezer - because there's no longer dedicated disable button on MM, I use the Force Stop button.
Battery History XXL - it works and as usual it not only makes the list longer but also unhides some normally hidden records (when they do not pass some threshold).
I also added one more tweak for Adobe Reader - "Disable Horizontal Scroll". Adobe Reader doesn't provide any feature for cropping white space so this helps me tremendously (after I double tap to the main content). (I'm still sticking to Adobe cause it's still the fastest though I probably could use the cropping in Xodo.)
Hey. I sit on the CM 13. I want to ask you to do, led to work if the battery charge is low, but when connected to a power source - did not work (not displayed, it is charged or charge).
Here comes another tweak in version 0.2.1: "Remap PREV button to PLAY/PAUSE" (PREV = long volume down press) which allows to use volume keys to change volume, advance to next song and play/pause. The "Playback control" needs to be enabled in system Settings (CM).
I have few more volume buttons related hacks in mind... :fingers-crossed:

Well, the current tweak handles the LED based on priority so I'm not sure about your question (really it can't be set in settings?).
Hey there
Im running cm12 since 6 months and i really appreciate you work
Specially native freezer
Im wondering did you made or plan to make a mod to replace recent menu action in navigation bar ?
By default short press bring recent and long press for last app
I hope i you can reverse it to be short press for previous app and long press for recent menu
Update
I forget to thank you again [emoji5]

No. There's only possible to change the color.
@moneytoo
With Native Freezer for 3rd party app Enabled, the Kill Button is disappeared. Is it possible bring it back?
wow..almost all good mod in one module.
one feature request. is it possible to get chrome Desktop Agent on mobile? I like desktop agent instead mobile.

[APP] PaceOn v5.4 - Keep Pace/Stratos screen on, Lock Screen, Quick Switches & more
PaceOn v5.4
{
"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",

}
Sometimes, I just want my Aamzfit Pace to stay awake a bit longer, so I make this app.
PaceOn is designed specifically for Amazfit Pace to keep its screen on and unlocked as long as I want. It also works on Amazfit Stratos.
Surely, keeping the screen on affects the device's battery, but for whatever reason you may want it.
For me, it's quite useful when transferring files via wifi, needing to see some app screen details for a period of time or just always showing off that beautiful watchface.
This is the first app of my Pace(X) series (On, Off, Up & Down).
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for any bad things caused by using this app, and blah, blah, blah.
Instruction:
Just sideload the app. Root is not required.
This can be done using ADB.
Here is how.
To uninstall:
adb uninstall com.anox.paceon
Features:
On/Off = PaceOn service keeping the watch awake and unlocked
The service can be automatically turned off on a selectable schedule.
Dim = Allow the screen to dim
Launcher = Launcher Service
Once activated, a small triangle area at the bottom left of the screen becomes a launcher area. The area is only visible on PaceOn screen, but active on any screen.
- Swipe up from the area (on any screen) launches PaceOn app.
- Double tap toggles PaceOn service on/off without opening the app.
- Swipe right to lock the screen.
- Swipe diagonally (roughly 45 degrees upward to the right) to bring up Quick Switch panel
Please see the last attached image for the instruction. The service will automatically turn on after booting, if the option was previously on before the boot.
Lock screen
The idea here is to have a transparent lock screen to protect the screen on from touches or taps. When this lock screen is on, the watch is still fully awake.
- To activate the lock screen, swipe right on Launcher area.
- To unlock, just double tap anywhere on the lock screen.
Return Home option
This is a workaround to the notification issue (raised by a few people). When receiving a new notification, the notification screen won't automatically be dismissed and another notification won't trigger a vibration. This can only be turned on, when both PaceOn & Launcher services are selected.
When this option is selected, it will have an effect only when the lock screen is on. After activating the lock screen, the watch will return to the home screen (from any screen) in every 30 seconds.
Bear in mind "this is supposed to consume more battery power."
Auto On... = Auto On When Charging option (off by default)
When turned on, PaceOn service is automatically activated when the watch is plugged into a power source, and deactivated when unplugging it. This option always keeps the screen fully on (not dim) to get rid of the system charging animation. This is designed to work only if PaceOn service is NOT already on.
How about a Pace as a desk clock
Quick Switch panel
- Swipe roughly 45 degrees upward to the right from Launcher area to bring up Quick Switch panel which contains:
1) Brightness Seekbar
Quickly set the screen brightness to any value from 0 to 255 or to Auto Mode.
2) Bluetooth switch
Now, the Bluetooth can be turned on/off at will.
3) WiFi switch
Yes, the wifi too can be turned on/off at will.
- To dismiss Quick Switch panel, just tap on the brightness number or swipe the panel away to the right.
These switches work independently of the system settings. They can even turn on when Airplane mode is on.
How about a quick glance to check if your bluetooth/wifi is on (just like your phone Status bar)
CXN svc. = Connection service
The Connection service improves the bluetooth/wifi connection visibility. It lets us know when bluetooth/wifi is connected/disconnected with a toast message and vibration (only vibration, when screen off). It also tells us what device/AP the watch is connected to/disconnected from.
The service will automatically turn on after booting, if the option was previously on before the boot.
Now, we always know what the bluetooth/wifi on our watch is up to.
Usage:
To enable PaceOn service (to keep the screen awake and unlocked)
- Open the app
- Tick []On/Off (Optionally, tick []Dim)
- To activate Launcher service, tick []Launcher
- Click OK. PaceOn service will start with a confirmation message.
- The app will then be put into the background.
- Then, do whatever you want. The screen will stay unlocked as long as PaceOn service is active.
While PaceOn service is active, the watch can be forced to sleep by pressing the power button from Home screen. Waking up the watch will also reactivate PaceOn service.
To turn PaceOn service off
If Launcher service is active, just Double tap on Launcher area.
If not, Open the app, de-select []On/Off and click OK. PaceOn service will stop with a confirmation message and the app exits.
To turn Launcher service on/off
- Open the app, toggle []Launcher and click OK. Launcher service will start/stop and the app exits.
Note:
- While the app's UI is in the foreground, the screen stays on.
- The app (any app for that matter) can be killed by Android system if the resources are needed. If killed, the "Keep Screen Unlocked" effect will also be lost.
- The app is free for personal use.

- Swipe up from the area (on any screen) launches PaceOn app.
- Double tap on the area (on any screen) turns PaceOn service on/off without opening the app.
After boot autostart Launcher service added
After installation, open the app once, then Launcher service will start automatically after every boot.

Return Home option added
This is a workaround to the notification issue (raised by a few people). When receiving a new notification, the notification screen won't automatically be dismissed and another notification won't trigger a vibration. This can only be turned on, when both PaceOn & Launcher services are selected.

Bear in mind "this is supposed to consume more battery power."
Version 3.4
GUI changed
PaceOn now has many options, but I still want to have only one single screen, without scrolling. So, buttons are used to maximise the space. A button represents a service, while a checkbox represents an option in a service. The bottom part of the screen also has a new design.
Auto On When Charging option added (off by default)
When turned on, PaceOn service is automatically activated when the watch is plugged into a power source, and deactivated when unplugging it. This option always keeps the screen fully on (not dim) to get rid of the system charging animation.
How about a Pace as a desk clock
Version 4.0
Quick Switch panel added

- To dismiss Quick Switch panel, just tap on the brightness number or swipe the panel away to the right.
These switches work independently of the system settings. They can even turn on when Airplane mode is on.

PaceOn service auto-disable option added
When turning on PaceOn service, an off schedule can be selected to automatically turn off the service. The default is to turn it on forever.
Version 5.4
Settings now saved to the storage
All settings are saved to the storage before closing so that when the app opens the next time, all settings will be restored. This is so even after booting.
Auto-start after boot service changed
Launcher and CXN services each will automatically turn on after booting, if they were previously on before the boot.
Better handling of app closing
When the app is closed by clicking the OK button or pressing the Power button or swiping the app UI to the right, all settings are applied and saved to the storage.
Workaround to the issue of app UI appearing briefly when a notification arrives while charging
This issue can happen to any 3rd party app. It's kind of annoying to see. So, this version tries to avoid that.
If you like my work & want to buy me a cup of coffee or beer, I've just added a Paypal donation email to my profile.
Nice one, thanks.
I'll give it a try.
I'm with you one the wifi transfer thing.
Could really see this come handy

from what i saw till now, if I enable the "keep on the screen", the vibration is gone. the watch vibrates ONLY if I lock it via the button.

Thank you for your feedback.
I've been testing the app for a few days without any vibration issues. When the screen is kept on by the app, my usual apps such as Walk, Run, Alarm, Timer and notifications from phone vibrate normally.
Could you please explain a bit more on the vibration issue you have? Some specific app doesn't vibrate? Thanks.
i'm running a zuk z2 with Nougat on it, 7.1.2, and lost vibration with Gmail, whatsapp and facebook messenger applications.
update: noticed that there's no vibration on Tapatalk as well.

OK, I think I know what happens here.
With or without this app,
When a notification (from any app) is received, Amazfit Pace vibrates only in one of these cases:
1) the screen is locked OR
2) you are NOT on the notification screen.
So, while the screen is kept on (but unlocked) by the app, the device vibrates if you are NOT on the notification screen.
Say you're on the home screen (watchface). Then, a notification is received, the device will vibrate and show the notification. Now, you're on the notification screen, and you won't be taken back to the home screen as there is no screen timeout. If you don't manually navigate from the notification screen to another screen, another notification will not trigger a vibration.
I hope my explanation makes sense, and I don't think I can do anything with the app to improve this.
got it!
What did you use for the app to keep the whatch on?
I started with a GolfCaddy app and because the watch sleeps after a few seconds I don't get the gps satellites.
Thank a lot
wow! it's useful for me Thank you very much for your creation. :laugh::laugh:

I'm glad you like it.
BTW, a new improved and optimised version is coming this weekend.
A big thank you ! As a paramedic it will be very useful to check pulse (seconds), some suggestions to preserve battery :
- Implement an "HD Mode"/On motion as in the new watchface (unlock the screen/activate on wrist motion / background light on maybe ?)
- add an on/off widget on the launcher ? (Don't know if huami allows it) ?
- Lock the screen (unlock with a double tap) ?
Thanks again ! Really great addition to the watch !

We're talking about a custom lockscreen on a custom version of Android here. Sounds quite complicated, but it's actually on my wish-to-do list when time allows.

Now to the businesslogic and prettying up the beast.
You plan to release source code?

I was talking about to behaviour of "Night Run" watchface (in pacefied and in 1.3.4f) : when locked, a wrist motion (motion when you watch the...watch) trigger the full color / resolution / seconds hand version of the watchface
With your app you could be able to implement that behaviour for every watchface ! An it will be very good for battery life (don't you want full version of a watchface when you see it ? not when you're watching anything else ?)
If we had tasker on mips, that's what I would try : (I'm not a developer unfortunately)
- Detect wrist motion -> autounlock the watch for a programmed time -> relock
Or
- detect "backlight on" or backlight level > 0 (triggered by motion wrist if enabled in settings) -> autounlock the watch for a programmed time -> relock
As a last suggestion, a simple configurable timer in seconds could be great (my case : every time I unlock I would like to see the seconds hand / NUM for a minute, time for me to check manually a heart rate / ventilatory rate of my patient then autolock), a sort of programmable autorelock !
For the lockscreen, can't you place an invisible overlay after returning on the watchface which could intercept touch, then capture only double tap as an event to disable that overlay ?
Again, Very useful, big thank ! Keep up !

I'm on 1.3.4f, there is Activate on Wrist option. When on, it just turns on the backlight for a few seconds, but doesn't wake the watch. So, you won't see the second hand. And, that works the same for all watchfaces.

I do see the importance of the watchface for you, but PaceOn is implemented to work universally with any app. What you can do now with PaceOn v1.0 is this:
- Open the app, activate "Screen On"
- Press Home (power) button to go Home,then press again to put the watch to sleep
- Whenever you need to take a heart rate reading, just wake the watch, After done, just put the watch back to sleep
I don't think the app consumes that much battery when the watch is asleep, though I've not actually measured it.
If we had tasker on mips, that's what I would try : (I'm not a developer unfortunately)
- Detect wrist motion -> autounlock the watch for a programmed time -> relock
Or
- detect "backlight on" or backlight level > 0 (triggered by motion wrist if enabled in settings) -> autounlock the watch for a programmed time -> relock

Yeah, my wish too.
Another thing is I have no idea what the system allows 3rd party apps do when the watch is asleep.
As a last suggestion, a simple configurable timer in seconds could be great (my case : every time I unlock I would like to see the seconds hand / NUM for a minute, time for me to check manually a heart rate / ventilatory rate of my patient then autolock), a sort of programmable autorelock !

This one is already on my wish-to-do list.
For the lockscreen, can't you place an invisible overlay after returning on the watchface which could intercept touch, then capture only double tap as an event to disable that overlay ?

That'd be the idea, but like I mentioned this is a custom android on which I see some simple android functions don't even work. What I'm doing here is mostly guesswork, just trial & error.
Thanks for the comments. We'll see how this goes.
V1.5 is up.
Version 1.5 is up (OP updated)
Changelog:
UI changes
- Theme change
- Some wording changes (hopefully clearer)
- New icon
Toast notifications added
- Confirmed messages when starting/stopping the PaceOn service
Internal Improvement
- Better app instance handling
- More persistent, less likely to be killed by system
- Lower resource usage
- Optimised and smaller apk
Please note that APK installer doesn't seem to support this optimised apk (attached to OP), though it can be installed via adb as usual. In case that you already have PaceOn on your watch, the command will be "adb install -r anox.PaceOn.v1.5.apk"
The next version will include some new functionality.
thanks for this app....i really like it since it make easier to check anything without double tap or unlock via button.
anyway i find some issues :
the activate on wrist are not working if PaceOn are active
notification wont "minimize" if PaceOn are active
Baterry drain (but this is acceptable i think since the watch are always "on" without baterry saving mode.
if you could fix it would really great ( if not it's still great app )
but overall are superB app, really appreciate it.
information :
Im using English rom 1.3.4f
cheers

The system's activate on wrist works only when the watch is asleep. When PaceOn is active, the watch is awake. I may look into this when implementing a lockscreen for PaceOn.

Right. It's the same reason. When PaceOn is active, the watch stays awake. So, the notification screen will stay on after receiving the notification. It has been discussed in post#6 . Once PaceOn has its own lockscreen, I'll try to improve this.

PaceOn itself doesn't drain the battery (much), it's the screen on and the running apps while the watch is awake. When the watch is asleep, I find the battery consumed by PaceOn negligible. Everyone else who has measured the battery consumption may share their experience.
Thanks for the comments & stay tuned for the future versions.
BTW, another version is coming up tomorrow.
