Hey guys, I was previously using RN8pro(Begonia). In that phone I was able to turn off all sensors in developer option. But in g8x which is also running on A10 doesn't have any toggle to turn off sensors. Any way to turn it off. And need to use some other features like restricting data to a particular app and also want to check the real time data speed on the status bar. Little bit concerned about privacy, so not using any 3rd party apps. Is there any way to enable all of them or at least any, using LG's built-in apps... I'm ready to use any apps from developers of xda but not from the people who makes money by pushing ads and seeking through our privacy...
Please provide me a solution and Thanks in advance

A10 allows users to turn all the sensors off. The option will be inside developer option in all mobiles. But can't find that option in g8x which is also running on A10.

Upon finding out that I can't upload my programs made in app inventor to the market (currently google restricts this), I decided to help some other AI developers out and allow them to post their apps for download on my website: www.xxthe3dmanxx.com
Curently I am only accepting apps that fall under these requirements.
1) The app must be useful to the android community (no fart or porn type apps)
2) The app must be free (currently I have no way to accept paid apps)
3) OpenSource is recommended but not required.
4) The app must have been made by you.
5) Only app inventor made apps will be accepted.
If you are interested send me a pm with a description of your app and your name for (application credit), if your app is a beta please list known issues with it. If I approve your app I will send you info on where you can send your app. Also if you would like, once your app gets approved you can also send me an icon for your app and I will replace the stock app inventor icon for you (currently there is no way to do this inside app inventor).
Please allow 2 days for a response from me.
Thats a great offer,
OK well I'm trying to make a simple app that lets people record voice messages, like " there is ice on the road here" and allow other users to be able to see such warnings before they get to the point in question. I thought it could be used with a compass to determin the direction of travel.
With out building a whole navigation system, do you thinkthis could be achieved ?

I like the idea. Sounds difficult but just about anything is possible. Its gonna require a nice database. Let me know how it goes.
a friend of mine had the idea of making an app and thought that id bring it to life, well the idea is that it lets u choose which keyboard u want to use in landscape mode and portrait mode, example being swype in portrait and stock keyboard in landscape... can this be done?

Possibly the app would have to recognize which way the phone is and auto switch the default keyboard for you.

Except that Andriod security stuff restricts that. You can't auto-change the keyboard, you can pop up the dialog to select one, but you can't change it without user intervention.
It makes sense, as keyboards can steal passwords and such, so you don't want to allow a trojan to install a keylogger AND enable it. It would be nice if they would let you pick keyboards to enable switching between though.
This could be bypassed, but it would require a full custom ROM built from source.

That makes perfect sense. Its always the simple sounding apps that become difficult lol.
Is there any other way to use app inventor other than getting an invite? Google is stalling on me.

No currently there is no other way. It took google 4 weeks to get my invite. Just keep waiting.
I'm new to using NFC and discovered that apparantly there are issues with transfering data between different platforms (android to windows) and sometimes even between different versions of Android. Has anyone come up with a way to transfer files between different platforms or does anyone have any tips and tricks to make the best use of NFC? I know NFC tags are probably the easiest answer, does anyone know of the best tags or where to buy them? Thanks!

Can you please explain what you mean by issues with transferring data? Like what kind of data? NFC is for like sending contacts to another phone by tapping them together. NFC tags are pretty cool you can program them to do all sorts of thing from enabling WIFI when you get home or disabling it when you leave. NFC isnt for sending files back and forth from phone to phone... as far as im concerned you cant use it from phone to PC.
Sorry not to be clear on that. I'm referring to transferring data such as pictures and videos between android and Windows phone 8. I've also read that some different droid phones have issues doing this as well.

I'm also curious about NFC. I've never used it before and don't see any kind of app or settings regarding NFC in the menus. How does this stuff work?
It's actually easier to use than I thought. All i did was browse to a contact or webpage and then touch another NFC phone. Once you make contact you'll see your screen change at the top to say "touch to beam" just simply tap the screen to send. That assumes that you have NFC turned on in Settings > More. Also be sure to turn on the Check box for "android beam". My problem was that I thought we could transfer pictures and video from android to windows phone but apparently we can't do that yet, only android to android for that stuff.

Ah, the Settings > More part is where I'd missed it. Thanks!
Yea its really simple android makes it super easy and all you gotta do is turn it on. Currently not too much is supported by it because it is a newer technology give it another year and more stuff will be using it

First off, I apologize if this has been covered before in a thread. I spent about a half hour searching for my answer and was not able to either find it or understand which answer I was looking for.
I have in Taiwan a:
S3 GT-I9300
4.1.2
I9300XXELLA
3.0.31-899179
Rooted
No custom rom
(not sure what else you guys need to know)
I was simply curious if someone would point me in the right direction for the following problems. I use reverse tethering quite often with my smart phone as my office does not have WIFI and I enjoy watching sports games on my phone or listening to the radio broadcasts. I have a plan with a 5GB data limit and the video will eat that up pretty fast. So, whenever I use reverse tether, want to check for available wifi, or do any USB/Blue tooth tethering I have to go two or three menues deep into my settings and it's a tad annoying.
Is there a way I can customize the top drop down menu to replace some of the UI icons with ones that I actually want to use such as, "enable usb tether" or "see available wifi signals" or "turn on wifi hotspot?" I could remove Blocking Mode, or AllShare Cast as I never use them.
While I'm able to root phones (easy enough) I'm pretty clueless about custom Roms, how to use them, which ones are good, how to keep my phone protected when using them etc. There is such a huge amount of information about customizing the S3 on these forums, I just didn't know how to wade through it all to get the one customization that I want.
Again, sorry if I couldn't find the threat where this was discussed, and if there is a thread that answers this question well, I would appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction.
Cheers!
Not 100% sure, but maybe have a look into JKay Delux (you have to find the version for your firmware though). Otherwise another option could be to create a shortcut for your home screen via tasker that brings you directly into that menu.

Does tasker allow you to create shortcuts for any phone command? If so, that might be what I need.

if I am not wrong, most of them yes. At least it lets you control most of the functions (if you add Secure Settings PlugIn even more.)

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY
You can download droidjack on your pc and then create an apk using droidjack and install it on your target phone
Possibilities with droidjack are limitless and insane
But remember use it only for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES if you don't want to get behind bars.

Thanks, but as I can see it is paid.
With AirDroid I could connect remotely and control my device
As we all know there are few watches with NFC wear24 has it but its dormant in the watch with no access. All we need is a good developer to get this up and running. Come on XDA we can do this.
So I got Google Pay (android pay discontinued) on the watch sideloaded. It all works great but it is asking for NFC to be turned on.
I'm wondering if there is an oem settings menu
Dial code menu or some way to activate NFC...
So close yet so far away.
I found a couple of apps another XDA guy used to enable NFC in the sony watch 3
ones the NFC Enabler setting but I cant sideload it it errors out with this
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE: Package couldn't be installed in /data/app/com.sibhtc.nfc-1: Package com.sibhtc.nfc has no signatures that match those in shared user android.uid.system; ignoring!]
I did mange to install the NFC watchface but without that setting I cant activate the chip
I will attach the apps here in hopes someone can test them and get it going
I tried the same thing (NFC Enabler) along with a bunch of other apps with no luck. I really hope that a developer will help us out and find a way to turn NFC on.

Im wondering if there is an option for it in the build prop... If so all we need is root otherwise im thinking it may need to be implemented into the kernel then we need root and rom
I Just bought one too, I would love to have a Rom with NFC and all the VZW crap removed.
I have a Wear24 and I can do javascript very well. I have android studio and fastboot + adb.
If I can be of help let me know.
