[Q] Z2 GPS toggle - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi @ll!
I've got a little question concerning GPS.
I understood that kitkat changes a bit the location. there is no more a separate GPS toggle.
is there any way to have this one back? like an Xposed module, a mod, or anything?
I will be very happy if this is possible...
Thanks for help.

Removing 'Small Apps' dock area

Hey chaps. As the title suggests, I would really like to get rid of the small apps area in the notification bar. I know I could root and install a custom ROM, but I'm trying to see if I can stay with stock for a while. Any thoughts?

Unfortunately, there really is no way to remove this without modifying the framework.

When I got the XTZ I was hoping that replacing the stock launcher with Nova would do the trick. But unfortunately it did not. Perhaps there are other launchers that can help out?
This izs not something that can be done by replacing the launcher. This is a framework feature and would require modification of the framework via decompiling the apk. This isn't something easily done. If you dont want this, you will have to flash a custom Rom for the time being.

If I have time, i will try to compile AOSP 4.3 for our hd2. That is just a MAYBE, since i DON'T really have much of free time.

I have been developing on a less known manufacturer based phones, but i didn't get much attention, so i have quited. Then i was searching for another device, and got hd2 from someone(for free ). Currently im using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2126053 .
Most stable i could find . Maybe (if i DO have some time) It won't be the best jelly bean rom out there xD
in my op they have a working version for us (alpha version). just a heads up to those interested

So which one do we download (if we're on a stock 4.2.2 ROM).... v1.4 or v1.5alpha2 ?

I'm on the 1.5 and its working. but SMS does not work if you are using the stock touchwiz sms. this is because it wakes the screen when you get a message so that ruins it. but hangouts, emails, instagram, etc work fine for me
I disabled Stock SMS notifications and I'm using 88SMS for stock 4.2 look

For the TTS problem, did you uninstall Samsung TTS and Talk back? The voice-over is really annoying

mine never had the problem but I'm not sure why yours did though. the Dev may respond on the thread from my op. he seems pretty set on keeping it updated and fixing bugs.

I think the talkback is just an accessibility bug for samsung devices. Only happens when an app is using accessibility.
dev claims to have fixed the Samsung SMS bug. haven't tried it yet.
added several new options. most notably (for me) was the option to use this as the lock screen. went ahead and went premium!

[ROM][4.2.2][WIP][Alpha] SmartisanOS 22JAN2014

Ok guys. I'm posting this with hopes that I can get a little help on it. This is just a port and is VERY much an Alpha, so don't come and complain because things no worky.
Don't flash unless you know what you're doing!
If you brick your phone because you did something stupid, don't blame me.
Things that work-
It boots.
Soft keys(although they don't light up)/hard keys.
Proximity sensor.
Rotation.
Sound.
Vibration.
Things that don't work-
Phone/data/signal.
Bluetooth.
Wifi sort of works, it turns on and will scan successfully, but unable to connect.
Softkey lights.
Pretty sure GPS although I haven't tested it.
Storage is almost working.(Reads internal storage, but is linked wrong. Should be fixed next build.)
Camera- See above ^^
Probably more.
Like I said, it is just a preview and I am hoping to get someone on board that is able to help out.
One of the big things would be an updated 4.2.2 kernel WITHOUT SELinux. So if you know your way around kernel source and are feeling frisky, I wouldn't mind a kernel

Hope things are going good for you and hope your get your system set up soon. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

Okay for data/signal depending on how they have their framework setup you need to add all your CM RIL from cm telephony-common.jar Decompile it and look for all the smalis with RIL in the name and phonefactory. Smali add all those smalis to smartisan telephony-common.jar /com/android/internal/telephony that should give you functioning data or a start to phone a radio log would help btw
Storage is related to storage-list.XML in framework-res.apk use the one from CM for your device(should resolve camera also but I recommend using Gallery2.apk from CM since it will 100% work)
Soft key lights is in Framework-res .apk /res/values/arrays.xml that controls button brightness and brightness levels/vibration
What device was this ported from?

Ok thanks for the tip on the radio. I have tried the storage-list.xml thing already as I thought that was the problem but it gave me a bootloop. This was ported from Oppo Find 5.

I was able to get storage working for the most part. File manager shows everything at least. Camera and Gallery work, but Gallery only shows pictures that were taken after ROM was installed and doesn't show anything that is already on the device. I replaced the config_autoBrightnessButtonBacklightValues with the ones from CM. Still a no go for the button lights but that's not anything major haha. Tried copying the ril files you mentioned and now it won't let me open settings.

[Q] tablet UI for mega 6.3 i527 at&t or softkeys such as lg g2

I am not unfamiliar with the xda and searching for answers but I have yet to find anything on what I would like to do. I have tried an array of apps and tweaks from "softkey enabler" to "wanam settings". where as I have had success in customizing a great deal of this awesome Mega. yet everytime I enable the soft keys or set to a different UI I get the "unfortanately systemui has stopped working. I understand the not being able to have a custom rom or recovery at this time. all I am asking if any one has a clue to what can be done or attempted just so I can enable softkeys or get the tablet UI working. thanks

True DAT!!! I knew there was a way through Xposed and some system settings download. I remember there were 3 items to change the settings on that had to do with changing dpi to 220, but I am smart not too much sometimes and cant remember. Sorry, but maybe if you could come up with certain phrasing and run a search. There was a how to in the Note forums.

I actually did use "phab7" but all I had to do was during the force closing navigate back through and disable. i have done that plenty of times with other attempts. but yet to no avail.

I have reworded as much as I can (or as far as my intelligence will allow me) and have yet to uncover which settings need to be configured. I do understand that it maybe as simple as a quick tweak but I am a bit discouraged when venturing to deep. I am in no way a dev and would like to consider myself very slightly above a noob. I will continue my search. thanks for the replies and if i do stumble upon my answer. could I post my success here or just post where I found it.
As far as soft key go, why just not use PIE?

I have used "pie" before on my original note. and although i did like the concept "swiping" to bring it out is not particularly what I want on this Mega. I had used a custom rom that allowed me to switch my note from phone /tablet /phablet. and truely enjoyed the look of the "tablet" UI. so what i am looking for is to make my Mega look like my Note 10.1 as far as the softkeys and navigation bar are concerned. but until some brilliant dev figures out the work around for this "i527" and can allow us to flash such a rom. I must continue my search for what ever comes close.

Expanded notification on lockscreen

I did return the phone in september after only a day of usage, pretty much just for software littlenesses like this one... that's just a shame for a phone like this, if just huawei would relase codes to get AOSP built...
Same problem, very annoying. Really hope this gets sorted in 6.0. Might give NiLS a try as I used this on my previous phone running 4.4.4.
Actually going to install it right now, I'll let you know how it works on the Honor 7.

Yes NiLS works very well. I turned off all notifications on lock screen from EMUI and replaced them with NiLS. Finally getting notifications from Gmail on the lock screen and all notifications can be expanded. I can recommend this to everyone. The free version has everything I need but I might buy the premium one for just 2$ to support the dev (who is btw a member here on XDA).
Thanks for the update
