I'm looking for a notification bar toggle switch to flash to stock like the custom roms have on them. I know there are some apps that do this but they aren't quite the same as many of them launch a popup. I mainly need to add wifi, GPS, and Bluetooth toggles to the notification bar for fast access (only turn GPS on when in car dock and need the toggle to turn it on once in car mode since I use an alternative car app and can't go into Android options)
Any help would be appreciated

Head over to my droid world. Look up bionic mods.
DroidJunk has 1 there the only requirement is deodexed. Even easier google DroidJunk
Thank you. I like the stock, but can't live.without the toggles (GPS and wifi). More specifically, I should say that I like Motorola's email and all in one messaging apps. Other than those and zumocast, I don't particularly care. Unfortunately 2 out of the 3 only work with stock from my previous experiences.

I have tryed all of the email apps pay and free. Have never found an better one than the Moto's email and all in one messaging apps. Also, it is the only one that allows custom fonts for signature. I also love zumocast and use it daily.
You should know, you can use any of the old droid th3ory blury roms. They let you keep the Moto email and aio messaging.
I use [k]in3tx as I don't particularly care the stock colors and theme.
The only other email app I like is the default Gmail app. Not all my email addresses are Gmail so I also need the Motorola email app.

I have 2 other questions (probably wouldn't even ask if the bionic community wasn't so disorganized) . Do you know where I can find a deodexed.zip that is for the 902 update? The one I found was for an earlier build. Also, do the roms you mentioned work with 902?
Sent from the Evil Empire
I found the 902 deodex so I don't need that answered. Apparently, I'm going to have to stop looking at xda as the first source for Android development (kind of strange for me since on my old phones, this was the main spot to go to find anything)

Well there are so many out there... But They all seem to lock up, Or double lock your device.
Recently I found Mylocker It uses the huge MIUI Library of themes And never interferes with the phone's sop. It is fantastic! In the market, And free. And it'll give you a taste of MIUI. Market link below

I love the look of this phone, and I was insanely happy with my One X but I had to make the jump to the S3 (and later the Note 2) because of the multitasking woes that plagued the phone. No matter how I phrase an internet search I can't hear any preview that addresses the issue that many review sites completely ignored the last time around.
So the bottom line question is this: Will the M7 have standard multitasking? (I.e. the phone does NOT refresh applications/web pages/etc in an effort to conserve battery life).
+1 this was my biggest gripe with the hox....I switched to the gs3 as well but looking to possibility move back to htc if this has been fixed
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Indeed. HTC has fantastic build quality (I'd easily put the one X with any iPhone). If it had multitasking I'd put up with a non removable battery. Especially since I tend to watch a lot of Netflix lately while waiting for classes and I love the idea of the speaker placements on the m7.
And the one X still had the best camera I'd ever had on a smartphone)

Sorry guys can you clarify about the multitasking issue on the HTC One X? I had an Nexus phone a few years back and thought all Android phones fully multitasked out the box so to speak.
Android has multi tasking but i heard htc one x broke that. When you switch to another app and comeback using recent apps that app would need to be reopened which means it gets terminated even if you dont kill it
It has been fixed on the One according to all the videos I've seen

The HTC One X had the worst multi tasking of any phone. You could literally go between just two apps and they apps would have to completely reload. They would not even be in a save state. For instance, i would be surfing the internet, go text real quick and come back, only to find my internet had to reload the whole page I was just on 30 seconds ago. It was horrible. It ruined the phone for a lot of people. And forget about trying to switch between any more apps lol. I'm not sure if HTC even acknowledged it, or I believe they said "that is just how it works". If I had known it was that bad, I would have got the s3 over it. But I bought one of the first ones so woe is me.

Just to clarify:
People aren't asking if the HTC One can multitask, it is obvious that it can.
We are asking:
How is the memory management on the phone? Does it unload app quickly, like the HTC One X? Or does it save them in memory.
With the HTC One X, if u opened a webpage, then went to the home scream, once u returned to the webpage it would reload instead of staying in memory.
We want to know if basicly this behaviour is still present? Or if it stays in memory.

Hello! I'm not sure about this problem but do you have a HTC One X? If so did you guys ever check the defined values of it's OOM settings already? Since that's the one that handles the killing of background apps etc.

It all depends on your minfree values. With minfree values you/HTC can set the phone to close apps at certain memory values, to have a certain memory free when you are using apps.
Higher minfrees= more apps closed= more ram available to the few opened apps
Lower minfrees=more apps opened= less ram available to the many open apps.
All this can be changed once you root the phone so I wouldn't worry what it comes with. The beauty of Android is that EVERYTHING basically can be changed. That is if you root it There are about 1000000000 ways to do it
HOX Multitasking
Yes this was the initial behaviour of the HOX but since updating to Jelly Bean i have not noticed this anymore.

The problem is I don't see Sprint ID as an actual app, so I'm not sure how to get into it. I spent a good amount of time arranging my home screens (panels), widgets, folders, apps, shortcuts, etc. Out of the blue everything with the home screen got reset to the factory default. I'm pretty sure Sprint is the culprit. I'm wondering if there's a way to disable Sprint ID so this wont happen anymore.
Thanks in advance.

You won't find Sprint ID on the phone. I found it to be odd as well. I checked the website, and it's not even a Sprint ID supported phone. I think they only reason why it was there in the first place was to brand the phone after activation. Then it just goes away.
Nope. Mind did it twice. Once upon activation. Once after I had things set up.

Hello,
I just switched from a Nexus 4 to the Moto X (on T-Mobile, running stock). I noticed that my dialer in the Moto X is missing the Google Now functionality (it's not searching local businesses, etc)
Is this happening to anybody else? Is there a setting that I'm missing that turned the feature off?
I found a support entry from Google (Use caller ID by Google) but the option listed (Menu > Settings > Caller ID by Google) is not available on my phone.
I'm going to go home and check on my Nexus 4.
Never mind, I figured it out. Please delete me
Thanks!
Just what did you figure out?

Has anyone figured out how to get this working with the stock launcher? I'd really like to use the Google Dialer but I don't want to have to use Nova.
Use one of shortcut creating apps in the store. See thebdialer tread in Apps forum.

I discovered this while digging around in the hidden menu. Accessed via dial pad in your phone apk by dialing 3845#*959#. (959 due to the 3 numbers in the device variant). Other carriers /variants use their last 3 accordingly. I don't know if this works for all carriers or not. I only have a D959.
First off let's learn why the "tether dun" option by using sqlite editor and changing the 1 to 0 doesn't work nor stick after reboot.
Carriers seem to have become wise to this hack since its been around from the first Moto RAZR XT912. And probably before that. Seems they have found a way to still tell whether or not you're tethering by monitoring the data stream and seeing the desktop user agent or style that is used by laptops and desktop PCs and/or other tablets use when tethering off of a devices hotspot.
So with that said there needs to be a way for carriers to disable this feature. So I went probing through my D959's hidden menu and found the option. I'm posting screen shots (hopefully in order of the method used) as well as my account page showing my hotspot usage has ran out at 3 gigs free that comes with my unlimited data.
I'm not responsible for your device or lack of following instructions to a "t". Its your phone and your choice to try or not.
With that said here we go:
First create new APN in your " access point names settings" to mirror that of your stock APN. And add to the APN type line - ",admin,dun"
The do the following :
1. Go to dail pad type in "3845#*959#
(The menu comes up)
2. Scroll to find option named " settings" click it
(Another menu pops up )
3. Scroll to find option "up sell url". Click it
(A smaller menu window pops up)
4. Chose " TMUS hastetheringoption". Click it
5. Back out like normal. I don't know if this matters but I use a 3rd party hotspot toggle as to not enter the T-Mobile hotspot apk.
6. Profit
Sorry to those of you who have trying with no luck due to I left out a step. My fault I apologize.

UPDATE: I have been using this script from the LG G2 forums on Jellybean 4.2.2 and all has been working great. Smanager works great at changing the 1 back to a 0 on boot. So no more having to do it manually.
LG G2 forums with script -
But since I've moved up to KitKat and still using said script, I got a message stating I've used all available data allowed for my WiFi hotspot. What? All available data? How could this be when I'm clearly changing the "tether_dun_required" -1 to a 0? Well I don't know if T-Mobile got wise to us or what. But I found another line in the same settings using sqlite editor called
"Package_verify_enabled". It also has a 1 (for true) out beside it. So being that I need my hotspot for my son to play xbox360 live, I changed it to a "0" . and what do ya know? I now have working WiFi hotspot and I tested this mod out for the entire Florida St. vs Louisville game tonight while streaming it to my Nexus 7 (2013) at work so all the co workers and I could watch what we thought and what seemed to be a Florida St. ∆$$ whipping but sadly enough Florida St. Pulled it out at the end. But on a good note, the WiFi hotspot hack still works.
Good luck

Hello, I tried this and it didnt work so I deleted the new APN I created but ever since my otherwise amazing data speed and connection has been inconsistent and spotty. Even looses signal sometimes which has never happened. Speeds are also not as good as they were.
I set the " TMUS hastetheringoption" option as advised.
My question is what is the default setting so I can go back to it as I believe it has something to do with what I am experiencing.

I believe its TMUS dataplanrequired. I don't understand why your signal is spotty and loss of signal. The more I mess with these settings I'm realizing that all this has done is create another option in the settings storage file where the other method of changing the tether fun required 1 to a 0 is. The other file I know have ,mind you im not sure how I got it, but I believe from testing one or several of the upsell URL options. That now has that tether dun required set at 0, not by me, and sticks through reboot. Here's a screenshot of said settings option that used to not be there. Let me know if this is just me or if others have noticed this now showing up.
Well actually I lost the pics when I flashed back to stock after a weekend long brick. But I managed to some how have screen shots saved to Dropbox of some build.props that I didn't notice before. The other settings option was seen thru sqlite editor when used to change that 1 to a 0 when I clicked on "settings storage" there used to be only one choice then a few days before I bricked and flashed back to stock I noticed another one called settings BCPM I think or something like that. It had all the same build.props in it except the tether fun required was defaulted to 0 already. Which kept me from having to set it or from going to the upsell URL again. The "BCPM" may not be the correct letters but it was something like that. Sorry for the delayed response also I've been bricked all weekend and trying to get it back lol
