How does this setting work?
I can decrease it and everything goes bigger, increase it and everything is smaller. I can tweak it to whatever I want, set my zoom/font and get all my apps running/looking how I want them to and then (randomly, sometimes within minutes) I'll open an app and it looks all wrong. When I check the MW it has changed. Or everything can be running smoothly and when I check the MW it has changed. And the figures keep varying, 824, 580, 600, all sorts but never the figure that I have set.
Is there something that I need to do to make the setting stick?
Why does it keep changing?
Or, how do I just reset the MW to default and start again, because everywhere I read on the Internet people quote different "default" figures and I am guessing that it's because everyone sees the question being asked, check their device and at that specific time it says XXX?
Should disabling Dev Ops reset the defaults? Or does (or should) turning off DO lock the setting at the figure last entered?
Thanks.
In fact (as I have just discovered), I can enter a figure, come out of the settings and go straight back in and the dpi is different?

I get much better battery life if I set my phone to 1x only (since I'm in a marginal signal area).
On my Verizon Touch Pro, I can change between 1x and hybrid in phone->menu->options->services->mode of operation->get settings as long as this is set first
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting to 0
As you can see, it's a bit of a pain to change it back and forth. The change does take place immediately though (no reset or anything needed, it's just instantaneous).
I'd be extremely grateful if someone who knows how to do this stuff could look into creating an .exe file that would just toggle between the 2 settings when clicked.
Anyone?
Anyone have any ideas about this?
I can't imagine it's that hard. Maybe just need to locate the correct reg setting?
I have tools that can toggle wifi and bluetooth on and off.
I'd absolutely love a tool that would allow me to toggle between 1x only and hybrid by just running the exe.
EDIT: I'm getting close!
I searched the registry for hybrid and it came up in
HKLM/System/OEM_State/RSSI
If the UI is set to 1x, the entries in there are set as follows:
CSAF = 2
Hybrid_Ind = 0
SysType = 2
If the UI is set to Hybrid, the entries in there are set as follows:
CSAF = 4
Hybrid_Ind = 1
SysType = 3
BUT, if I just edit those entries in the registry, nothing happens.
So, either there are more registry entries or making the change in the UI starts/stops a service.
There's got to be an easy way to do this.
Any help is appreciated.
Any ideas anyone?
Just write a mortscript.
That's not a bad idea, though I suspect it'll still be slower than having a program make the appropriate change to the device internally.
I have no idea how to program a mortscript (though I do have mortscript installed and am using it for something else).
Is it basically just like a macro?
I guess I need something to first run the phone application, then hit menu soft key, then select options, then hit the services tab, then choose mode of operation, then have something where if the radio button for hybrid is currently selected, select 1x only and if 1x only is current, select hybrid, then ok, then ok, then close the phone application.
Can anyone help with that or at least help me get started?
If anyone can help, I'm still looking for an answer here.
Thanks!
I have my widget locker all configured to my liking and such, but when I press the power button to turn off the screen, it shuts off but then instantly comes back on again. Basically I have to press power twice in order to achieve screen off status.
I'm wondering if there is somewhere in the settings I did this or can fix this? I'll reset and start all over if necessary, but was hoping someone here could help me.
Hmm... sounds odd man. I never had that issue and I have been playing with it for a bit. My best guess is you may have Easy Wake on in the settings. That will wake your phone when you touch Home, Menu, Back, or Search. Maybe your palm is hitting those buttons when you hit the power button??
If that's not it I would start over...
Nah man Easy Wake is unchecked as well as everything in that section. I really wish someone would have a fix for this. I guess I'll start all over and then post if I'm still having the problem.
Haven't reset everything yet, and I'm just noticing some more problems. If I press the volume rocker up or down while the screen is off it turns the screen on. Also sometimes when I turn the screen off, after about 5 seconds it'll randomly turn back on. This is similar to my original post problem, but the screen waits longer to come back on. Anyone use Widget Locker on your ThunderBolt and have success with it? I'm having nothing but problems.
1) Go ahead and go into applications under the main phone settings clear all Widgetlocker data. What you're describing is Easy Wake mode though you say that it unchecked. WL's settings might have gotten screwy and clearing the data should set it straight.
2) Go into the advanced settings of WL and make sure that you haven't disabled the notification icon. For some reason the old sense lock screen would cause issues if I had that checked.
3) Are you rooted? If so go into the advanced settings of WL and make sure Root Helper is checked.
Let me know what happens.
Shoot kevin an email. Hell get back to you quick. Very responsive dev.
working fine on my TB, not that it helps you any lol.
Seems as though my problems have gone away by simply disabling my security pattern.
mob87 do you use a security patter/pin/password with widget locker? Does anyone else?
Any one have any suggestions on how to get my security pattern/pin to work with Widget Locker?

I am having the same issues as the OP, will clearing all the data as described above, wipe everything that I have configured for the lock screen and I will have to start all over or not?
Also what does selecting "Root Helper" in advanced settings actually do?

Yes, it will clear all wl data and you will have to reconfigure your lockscreen. As far as roothelper I've never used wl so I really don't know, hopefully someone else can help you with that

I'm on a rooted Desire HD and I'm having the exact same issue with the screen coming back to life immediately after pushing the power button. I'm forced to have a PIN due to Exchange security settings.
I'll report the issue to the dev.
im having the same issue on m HTC desire. and im using Password pin protection as well.
i tried clearing the widgetlocker data/ downloaded the new superuser app from market and even reinstalled the app but still i can't find the solution.
if anyone has the update on this please let me know.
Anyone come up with a solution to this? I have an Inc2 with the issue. I also have to have a PIN for my Exchange server, so I imagine that's what's causing it. But, it's quite annoying and it'd be nice to have a fix.
Short Answer:
This happens on some HTC devices if the PIN activates immediately after the screen goes off, it will not happen if you delay the pin by either:
System Settings > Security > Lock screen after > 3 Minutes
or
WidgetLocker Settings > Long-press volume down for Experimental > HTC > HTC Lock Delay > 10 (seconds).
Long Answer:
WidgetLocker actually never turns the screen on by itself, however it does activate at screen off. HTC's pin screen on some (mainly newer) devices will wake the screen if something happens after the pin has activated. So WidgetLocker activating trigger's HTC's pin to wake the screen. (Ugh). But if it's delayed then it's no such issue. I haven't found a non-delayed solution to this yet. WidgetLocker's setting does the same thing as HTC's, however WidgetLocker lets you enter the number of seconds as whatever you want. Less than 10 seconds may work, but 10 seconds seems to consistently work across different devices and configurations and it's still really short so I'd recommend that.

Found the solution to adding the wifi toggle:
1 Get SqlLite Editor
2.Goto Setting Storage |System |
3. Edit field "notification_panel_active_app_list"
4. add DormantMode
5. edit field "dormant_switch_onoff" from 0 to 1,
6. Hit save and reboot
You can now toggle blocking mode. Can't seem to get it to work though.
I got it to block the led light. I set dormant_always to 0
Set start time to 13 (1:00) then set dormant_led to 1.
Turned on blocking toggle and the led would not blink when I received a message. I still got the notification and my screen turned on tho.

I had several force close of "settings" with dormant mode enabled. Doesn't seem to be working that cleanly, I'm disabling it for now.
I don't really need it anyway.
PS" dormant_switch_onoff just toggles it on or off. I turned it off and went into SQL Editor and it was set back to 0 so that's not an "enabling" control.
I am trying to download a System Dump to see if we are missing an .apk for some sort of Blocking Mode Setting App.

It likely needs to be turned on in settings, phone, messaging and anywhere it affects. Won't be a simple missing app.

isnt it a feature in android?. I looked it up on my note to where exactly its buried. and it looks like it's buried deep inside com.android.settings hopefully that'll help figure something out.
Long pressing on the Blocking Mode toggle should open the settings. Instead for me it crashes System UI and reloads the notification bar and such. I'd probably start there as well comparing from AT&T version.
Blocking Mode seems to be working correctly for me. I can toggle it on and off.
As others have stated, it crashes Settings when you try to open settings for Blocking Mode. My theory is that Blocking Mode settings is still there but disabled instead of just hidden. When you try to access it, Settings crashes just like if you we're to Freeze the wrong thing in Titanium Backup and then try to access it.
There is probably another field that would allow us to enable the settings for Blocking Mode, we just need to find it.
On another note, while I was poking around I found "Throttle_Reset_Day" which had a value of 22. Any theories on how this works? I changed it to 15 thinking maybe if you reach the throttling point of data use that it would reset and unthrottle a few days earlier. That theory only works if the throttling also resets at the beginning of the month though.

i'm looking for a rom from any other S4 besides Verizon's to see if i can pull the smali's to look at the differences today. i'll let you know if i come up with anything.
I flashed SecSettings for the i9505 and blocking mode still doesn't show. So I'm not sure how Samsung set it up for which file to read so it knows whether or not to show.

I have a feeling it's more involved than that though. You could probably flash framework, systemUI and settings from the i9505 and it wouldn't work.

I'm not really not looking forward to that, but i want to find it out. it's now bugging me. haha. if only i had better internet than crappy DSL
Bump.
Blocking Mode is working perfectly for me, it's just when trying to reach the settings screen that it causes a problem. I adjusted the settings manually by editing the proper fields in SQLlite and added the notification toggle and it will turn on and off without issue. I have it set to allow calls but not notifications or the LED. It works as advertised with these settings. I have no real need to adjust the settings further but it would be nice to get the settings screen back as well.
I set it up and I put favorites as allowed so I'll have to see it if works.

The settings screen works properly and doesn't crash in Beans rom.
Notifications are blocked properly, but it still lets calls ring through even though I have that checked.
dormant_disable_incoming_call was set to 1, so the feature is broken, not the setting in the database.

HI,
I use the latest (nightly) PAC-ROM for my i9100. Android Version 4.4.4
After unlocking the developer options I activated the option to kill applications then long-pressing the soft-back-button.
But the timeout is to high. I have to press the back button for approx 2 seconds!
On my last ROM this was like 500ms and the workflow was much better with it, as I make multible fast clicks and have to close apps really fast some times.
Can anyone show me a way how I can change this timeout ?
I know there are apps that can do that, but then possible I just want to change a value to keep my ROM slim. Also I have already an Xposed module, that gives me the torch on long pressing home and I dont know how app doing same stuff interfere together. Dont want to risk unnecessary wake-locks and so on.
Is there a way to simply change a value to manage this? Does anyone know a good Tweaking Tool, where I can costumize this hidden/expert settings ? (the tweak tool should let every settings untouched, unless I change it in that app)
Thx for any help.

I think you should post this on the PAC thread... But just to answer you:
Try going in Settings > Accesibility > Touch and Hold Delay...
I don't know if that feature is in your current ROM, since I'm on Slim... But better check it out...
And next time, post questions on Q&A Section please. Follow the rules and stuff... :good:

I tried changing htat, but it has no effect on long-press-time then killing apps.
Isnt there a way to simply change an value like itz possible in regedit/windows ?
I deactivated the boot-animation of the PAC-ROM the same they, just edited a textfile.
If someone knows there this value is, that would be great.

Any ideas?
I have "smallest width" in Developer Options set to 500. Tinkering with ADB, I have found that this is equivalent to 345dpi. You can actually change the "smallest width" in real time by changing DPI in ADB and they have an inverse relationship - as dpi goes up, smallest width goes down.
There is no way to make either change persist on reboot on an unrooted device.
However it seems to me that since there is no root required to set "smallest width" there should be some way to run a script or do something to change the smallest width setting in developer options on each boot up. It doesn't matter if it happens late in the booting process.
I would just about have my device exactly how I want it if I didn't have to go into developer options and reset the dpi on each reboot!
Any suggestions?
I'm not rooted and the setting stay for me in developer options. My android TV is the same. I changed the dpi setting of that, and that stay after a reboot and that's not rooted either. Although the the TV settings were changed via adb rather than in developer options.
Thanks... well, I wish I knew why the setting change won't stick on my phone. It's not the biggest deal in the world and I don't reboot much (except lately to test hosts files and finally get spotify working properly with ad blocking.)
Since you said it works for you, I have had another few goes at it, and it definitely doesn't stick on my Mate Pro 10.
I have done it two ways - via ADB with:
Code:
adb shell wm density 345 && adb reboot
and in Developer Options, setting Smallest Width to 500.
Also tried different values for both. It never survives a reboot. Oh well.
