[MOD] Remove the HTC power saver option in the new sense Jellybean update - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

It was really annoying me so I did some searching and I found this thread.
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016254
Basically if you use titanium back up, you can just freeze or delete "com.htc.htcpowermanager" and it'll disappear.
I just thought I'd share with you guys, credit goes to to the guy who found this in the link above, I'm just passing it on.
EDIT: Freezing or deleting it will both cause your battery menu in settings to disappear. This isn't really an issue to me as there isn't really anything in there that you can do, besides see whats' eating your battery. IMO this is negligible especially when new roms will be rolling out soon, hopefully with a work around.

Wouldn't delete it just in u may need it later. Freezing is the best option for all annoying system apps. Thanks for sharing the link tho.

Read the edit I just made to the OP.

In JB you can long-tap on a notification and click on App Info. I did a Force Stop there, notification went away. Hopefully there are no other side effects. If there are any, I will report them.
LOL 5 minutes later, and it's back. And you cannot uncheck "Show Notifications"

I used this to get rid of mine. Think its a good alternative.

Why not just turn it off? Then it doesn't show up in status bar

i'm sure there's a way to hide the icon in smali...someone will find it

I have had mine turned off since I loaded the Rom and its still there. If we could just unlock the show notification option maybe that would turn off the one minor annoyance.

Is there documentation on what the power saver function specifically does?

Can't you just edit default.xml in system/customize/resource/MNS/ ? Of course on a clean boot, but that'sbetter then losing functions to me.

credit to nitsuj17....you will lose the function though...I haven't tried enabling in terminal with this...maybe it would work

Same here. I'm mostly against it because I don't know why I'd ever need it. It might actually be useful but if it does x y and z and I only want x and y I'd like to know what I'm getting into.

I can't believe no one noticed it yet but if you go to the app info there is a check box for notifications, just uncheck it and it goes away

Mine won't toggle neither. I have tried with power save mode enabled and disabled as well as from safe mode.

That's the first place I went and mine is grayed out also.

Adjustable auto bright hack?

Wondering if anyone knows where I can obtain a utility or hack to adjust the automatic brightness settings? In a dark or dim room, the brightness on auto is much higher than I need.
There were a few hacks available for windows smartphones to do this, but I haven't found any for Android/HTC. Found one specifically for the droid-x but don't think it works for us.
Been wondering on something like this also

CM7 has options to fine tune how auto brightness works.
^ Shift Faced
confirmed to work for me. I've adjusted mine in CM7 just the way I like.
Question to somebody else who has done it. Is it showing 1 colum having -1 on the buttons box? I noticed only one setting I cant turn off the 4 bottom lights because it doesnt let you change the -1 to a 0...
is there any guides i could read on how to set it all up? i have no idea what everything mean in that menu.

I'm right along with you. I just looked at it and then slowly backed out because I didn't want to mess anything up and I'm usually all for pressing buttons to see what happens.

I'll bump for this as well. I've always wanted to understand how to adjust the auto brightness in CM7, but I've searched around and haven't found any info on it.

[Temp "fix"] helps with multitasking issue a little

Hey everyone! I know some people have done this and said it helped but I'm sure there's a bunch who have never heard of this so figured I'd make a thread. What I'm going to explain is how to change the min free values and make the multitasking slightly less aggressive.
1.download system tuner (you can do this in the free version if you haven't gotten the pro version but pro is definafely worth the cost)
2.open up system tuner, grant superuser, and click "tweaks"
3.now it should bring you to a screen with 6 slider bars if you will and in the bottom it says presets.
4.click presets and then select very light.
5.(optional) if you want this to stay between reboots click "boot settings" at the bottom and then select "re-apply memory limits" and select "on boot completed. (I think this is only in pro, someone with free report back )
6. Enjoy a slightly less aggressive task manager.
Note: this will not completely fix the issue but it does help a bit. In the task manager app that comes on our phone my phones free memory would never dip below 110mb give or take and now it will go down as far as 65mb(from what I've seen) before it starts to close things. So don't flame if it doesn't completely fix the issue because this isn't going to do it, but its a start haha

Yeah HTC really fuzzed this up haha. And with this you can't multitask large apps like games but bouncing between messaging and tapatalk and other light apps seems to work a little better with this. Like I mentioned this is only a little "fix" haha

Try the Holo Launcher 4 posted here on XDA. It uses less memory than Rosie and can multitask better. Doesn't completely fix it though. That's going to take AOSP.

[Q] Power Saver Mode?

Hey guys maybe you will know. I keep reading everywhere that Sense 4+ has power saver mode and I have seen it on multiple screenshots under the Battery option under settings. When I look under Battery on my DNA I am not seeing this option. Is this something that just runs all the time in the background on the DNA?

I must be going crazy, I had a menu button that said "Power Saver" right above the "Usage" button.
No I think you're right. I remember seeing one, which is why it's driving me insane trying to find it. It keeps disconnecting my data at night, making my skype useless (I like to stay up late). I think an update to the software actually got rid of the option. Because I remember seeing it before.
I know viper has the power saver in there Rom never seen it outside of the viper Rom without being rooted

[HOW TO] Enable soft keys on Droid DNA CM10.1

THIS INCLUDES MODIFYING BUILD.PROP AND SYNAPTICS-RMI-TOUCHSCREEN.KL SO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BACKUPS!!
I thought i might share this to everyone since i tested it and it works nicely for me so far
1) Go to your build.prop using root explorer or any app that allows access to system files
2) Go to the bottom of the file, and enter the following without the quotes "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP IN CASE SOMETHING DOESNT WORK OUT)
3) Find "Synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl" located at (system>usr>keylayout) that controls the capacitive keys. Delete everything by editing it with a text editor
4) Reboot and you should have softkeys with the capacitive ones disabled
*I used this app http://goo.gl/JUWqs to disable the capacitive lights*
**If you wish to kepp the capacitive keys enabled skip step 3**
**to Reverse this just replace the build.prop with your backup and replace your Synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl with your backup**
Enjoy
This would be great in conjunction with enabling some gestures in the capacitive area a la WebOS

I sure do hate sense, but this feature if ever somehow made available for a sense rom it would make it a little better, because im not ever really expecting to get e fully functional AOSP based rom anytime soon.

Okay, so on any jelly bean device with soft keys, pushing up from the home soft key brings up a little ring with google now on it. Is there any way to enable this functionality with the hardware keys? It's kind of weird having both hardware and soft keys but I really like this functionality.
Any way to shrink the height of the nav bar? It's a bit too tall for my liking.

That's odd. I was able to disable the lights. I have my PAC-Rom on Phablet mode. The app allowed me to shut them off and I was wondering, now that we got soft keys, I kinda want to cover the capacitive light with like, tape or something so I don't have to constantly look at them. haha, did any of you guys do anything to cover them or were just like whatever about it?

can u provide the factory image. How did you flash it since were no longer rooted? through ODIN? does your wifi hotspot work without subscription check? Heard it works for those on data plans and not on unlimited
Something else I've noticed. I used to use floating notifications, but stopped due to the talkback bug. After the update, I installed FN just to give it another try, and the bug is gone.
Anyone else notice this?
Also, to the guy that asked, I have the wifi toggle and use the 16g version.
I updated (after numerous tries) with the Verizon BS software, and of course, don't have the toggle (its not really the end of the world that I don't), I just find it odd that others do, and others don't. I have the 16GB, and a few who say they have the toggle have stated they have the 32GB (that shouldn't make a difference anyhow). I guess if I get bored enough later, I'll wipe my device and see if it brings it back (just so those who don't have it, and *want* it, know how to *maybe* get it back).
I don't have the WiFi toggle either. Quick thought...
Those of you that don't have the Wi-Fi toggle. Did you rearrange the order?
Those of you that do have the toggle, were you still on the default order?
Might be something to it. I rearranged my toggles...

Just got off the phone with VZ about the Wi-Fi not being included in the notification bar as stated in the changelog. They tell me Samsung is aware and will update the update in September or we could try a factory reset which will resend the update. Just repeating what I was told.
