<< Q with the A >> get rid of slide lock - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

<<<<< IGNORE THIS POST!! AGAIN IGNORE THIS POST !!!! ITS NOT ACCURATE >>>>>
Seems SE has some sort of dual screen lock. if the screen turns off running the app im talking about here and locks it works fine but at some point not sure but guessing 5-10min if the phone is left longer then that then the default slider lock is back as active and you still have to use it to get up 1 step for screen tools to get active again. so again ignore this post since its inaccurate!
Ok ive been looking around here and on lots of other forums and sites trying to find a app or a way to not being forced to use SE default slide lock. And ive tried all the suggestions ive found like No Lock app and pattern changes on the phone ect.
But nothing realy did the job all the way, and if you´ve every used your phone outside when its cold you know why i wanna get rid of that crap, and pressing a real button almost allways works compaired to touchscreen buttons (not to mention its still a pain indoors too)
but ive finaly found a app that works if you set it up the way i have (but thats all personal ofc you can set it any other way but these steps need to be marked).
App: Screen Tools 1 just search app market and you´ll find it and its free.
the way ive set it up works like this: you press the Home button twice, 1 press opens screen and you can just check if you missed a text or a call ect but the screen is still locked, press a second time and its open ready to be used.
Pic 1 is from the topp and pic 2 is just the last missing bit at the bottom pic 1 missed

I did and naa didnt do it for me. i dont like toys that can run every app in the house or control the subway, dont you know less is more? i just wanted a small app that would do just that 1 thing im after to be able to use a physical button and since you still have to hit home button to activate
screen 1 more push to unlock is just right
im running xhawkings optimized stock ROM and thats just perfect in my mind perfomance without all the 30 billion options in settings and apps that ppl nowdays seem to love. if i didnt need some apps to keep my days and life in order id still be using my old text only Nokia no cam no MMS nada was just perfect. but yeah i hear ppl like that one too. but naa no point running a app that has loads of options when i just need 1.
PS: i forgot that GOTO still runs a slider just what i DONT want and is still on touchscreen so how can it be better?

Calls Missed/SMS-MMS/EMAIL Counter - Today Screen

Good afternoon.
I am looking for a today plug-in that would just give me counters for missed calls - sms/mms - and email only (kind of what HTC home does without the big clock). I only want that - I have found a clock that I really like. Does anyone know if there is such a plug-in or a way to modify something that exists to accomplish my needs? I have searched and not found anything like this...I am anal about my today screen and want it just the way I want it - so I am throwing it out there to see if anyone has what I am looking for...
Thanks in advance for any help (as usual)!!

this program is "not free." but you should PM me for a trial that never expires...
EDIT:
I have the email counter turned off, but it's easy to turn back on.
shame on you for a "trial that never expires".
I've been a long time beta tester for SPB Softwarehouse and have beta tested every program that's available. There are several programs by SPB that can do this, but as stated, PhoneSuite is probably the easiest and best for what you are looking for.

The ext battery status will do this as well... the one with the clock... and you can easily turn the clock off to just show the messaging, voicemail, sms counter.... u can even turn off the battery meter part of it. Best part is that it is a free app that uses verry little ram.

This seems to be the best solution - one question though for the programming/registry experts in here - I have the ion clock installed and I don't want the scrollbar to occupy the WHOLE today screen! Is there a way of editing the registry, or something like that, that will allow me to have the scroll bar only halfway up or even lower than that?
Thanks in advance

[Q] How to fix roms cutting off part of applications on screen?

I have issues with some applications getting cut off at the bottom of the screen when using roms such as the AT(HoneyComb)RIX 3.4 EXT4 or the Alien one. I can still scroll to the bottom of the application using the rest of the screen but there will still be part of the screen gone the whole time. Off the top of my head it does this with my SSF4AE guide app, on every single page. Also using handcent I have a similar problem; the background is not appearing fully when I go to my list of text messages
Ive been using Alien for weeks and dont have this problem on any on my 700+ apps, including Handcent which is prob the one I use more than any other.
I had the SSF4AE app problem on both but the handcent problem was only on AT(HoneyComb)RIX 3.4 EXT4

I just thought about this, my photobucket app has appeared to be shrunk ever since Gingerbread, you can see it doesn't quite take up my screen.. But it sounds like you are having the opposite problem, the app is too big to be displayed on the screen right?
Edit: i think its not showing correctly because of my photobucket privacy settings.. But it is just slightly smaller than the screen, it has a black border all the way around. Also I dont know what SSF4AE is.
Its just a guide for a fighting game that I use frequently.
It's supposed to look like this http://i.imgur.com/NaI1e.jpg
but it looks like this http://i.imgur.com/oDByS.jpg
I didn't notice until now that you mentioned your photobucket app being smaller that the sides are cut off a little too as well in this. I just took a picture from the web and edited it btw.
This thread says to download "spare parts" and toggle compatibility mode, Im gonna try that now and let you know.
Edit: Yup that worked for me! that should fix the problem for you too. Thank you for asking the question because it motivated me to find this simple fix. Im gonna hit your thanks button for that, if it works for you feel free to do the same lol. Also, strangly enough Spare Parts was also one of those apps that had a scaling prob haha, but its fixed now in that app as well. I cant say for sure yet if unchecking the "compatibility mode" causes any negative effects on other apps but it for sure fixed the scaling issue in photobucket and spare parts. Additionally, the "fancy input animation" is pretty cool it makes the keyboard slide up instead of just appear. Enjoy.
Yup that fixed my problem with the SSF4AE guide app. Thanks a lot . The handcent issue is still there but it might just be a problem with the theme..

Lock screen notification pop up preview

There are certain features that are very important to me like being able to ready message on lock screen .. I'm very dissapointed that this phone does not have that option
I feel like we took a few steps back from previous phone software
I switched from the HTC one m8 and I'm considering switching back

I said the same thing. People argued with me and said the G2 didn't have that ability, but it certainly did. In the message/notification settings.
I really want that,option, as well as call reject, a native flashlight app, LG browser and task app(Verizon sucks), the ability to sync my Facebook calendar with LGs. There a ton of little things I'm missing

There's an app called Floatify that will show your messages on your lock screen. I haven't tried it out, but it appears to be getting some good reviews.

To read messages on the lock screen just get Dashclock widget and Dashnotifier extension. (may not even need the dashnotifier, can't remember for sure but I have both) and put the widget on your lockscreen in place of the clock,
See that's the awesome thing about Android is if you don't like something about your phone or want a certain feature.... Then change it! Between Apps and Xposed modules you can make a really nice stock ROM with pretty much anything you could ask for. Once we get the bootloader unlocked and start getting custom ROMs, forget about it, this thing is going to be a BEAST!

Xposed has the xblast module that has lockscreen notifications and lockscreen flash in it but it crashes sometimes so I use floatify and I love it. For flash light I use the g3 tweaksbox by assigning one of the volume buttons in "miscellaneous tweaks" when the screen is off.

The Notific app worked for me. Nothing seemed to work with Floatify for some reason. Maybe I needed the paid version for it to work.

[SHARE][APP] SwiftOpen - Fast Launcher

Hello. Yesterday, i was searching for an launcher (NOT a home launcher} which allow me to run apps more quickly from any app I'm running at an moment.
I found this app named SwiftOpen. It's thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-swiftopen-fast-launcher-beta-t2871523 .
It allow you to add apps shortcuts, even some settings like wifi, so you can put wifi on more easy. You swipe from right (you can change the place from where to swipe) and the launcher come.Read the whole description of it's thread. Oh, and don't forget to press thanks button to the developer
Review / My opinion:
In my opinion it does a great job. I don't even have to press home button to go in another app. It use about 15 MB ram. Last night i had 58% battery and i kept this app running in background and today, in the morning, i had same battery percent. So, it seems that it doesn't drain battery.
Now i don't even need to use the home button, as i placed an shortcut of "home" in the bottom left
I downloaded the latest version released. I encountered one bug: when i want to change the place of an shortcut, the app crash, but the shortcut get moved.
Here is an screenshot. You see an white square in the right, it's because i kept my finger there to take an screenshot, otherwise the launcher dissapear. By the way, you can add more shortcuts, even Tasker ones !!!

btw i doubt that our SMART phone will stand this kind of multi tasking if i have FB installed
Also found this app recently, it's the best launcher by a long shot. I have a G4 and I hate the softkeys taking up screen space, as you mentioned this app means you don't need any other buttons or home button.
Thanks for the tip to put this launcher in the place of the home button, I had it on the side but now that you mention it that's naturally the best spot to put it.
Do you use it on Lollipop and use the Alt-tab feature?
That's not working for me on 5.1, think it's a lollipop issue?

Just Got My S9 Plus - A Couple Of Questions

Hi everyone,
I've just moved from my trusty LG G6 to a new SAmsung S9 Plus UK version (Exynos 9810) and so far I'm pretty happy, love the screen, the responsiveness and it's a lovely looking phone although slippery as a fish without a case, managed to find a good case/screen protector combo but took a while. Have gone for the Whitestone Doma which is an awesome screen protector but was really frustrated to get bubbles in the glue which shouldn't happen..
Anyway Its only really day 3 or 4 and I realise things may change in time but have some observations and wondered if anyone here could help please.
1) Standby drain, seems like many people have this so have downloaded Package Disabler Pro for Samsung and I am experimenting but its not anywhere near as good as my G6 at the moment. Guess this is trial and error but have already disabled much of the Samsung stuff, I'm a little apprehensive when it comes to system packages though as you never know if its going to mess things up completely.
2) On both the AOD and in the android shutter if I get 2 notifications from an app, they both show separately, I have a Xiaomi camera and if I get more than one alert of movement all notifications are separate and I wanted to know how to nest them so it only showed me once that I had notification for that app.. (hope that makes sense) cant find any way to do this. This isn't the problem of double notifications as I've seen but I hope you get what I mean.
3) LG has a built in service called Smart Settings which basically says things like if you go out of your current location turn Wi-fi off , when you get back into your location turn wifi on, if you start this app, turn on bluetooth, if you plug in headphones start this app.. etc..
It appears theres nothing like that on Samsung so could anyone recommend a 3rd part app that may help me achieve this as I miss it.
4) Does anyone know if S9 Plus will get 8.1? or will it go straight to P..
5) Forgot to add, I have a different photo viewer installed, I use F-Stop but for some reason in the camera app when you take a picture and press the gallery button it always defaults to the Samsung gallery app. Does anyone know how this can be changed please?
Thanks for listening guys, any help appreciated.

1. Give it a couple of weeks for the system to settle. Just use it as it is without disabling any apps.
2. I don't know if you can do that system wide. I know some apps have that option.
3. Try LLama
4. No idea
5. Open settings and search for "default"
There you should be able to set default apps
I've provided a screenshot so you can see how it looks like
Hope it helps
