Jh7 rom GPS menu gone? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

*#*#1472365#*#* not working. Anyone know what's up? How to access? System info app won't work either. Uses same code I am sure.
Dropped with XDA -> Captivate

People have claimed to get to the menu through the secret menu app.

You can use Launcherpro to make an "activities" shortcut. Thats the only way I know of.

This is the app I was trying to use. No luck. Just does the same thing as if I were trying to manually access it (type in the service code and dialer box goes empty then does nothing).

well known and thoroughly discussed in the JH7 thread already. please don't lead to double posts. the workaround to do so creating an activity has already been discussed too.
this would also be the type of question that belongs in Q&A or general, not development because this doesn't really impact development of android

Ok cool. Sorry for wasting everyone's time. I'm an asshat. Will study up on my forum skills as not to do anything wrong again. Sorry guys. Looks like I have no idea what I am doing.

Anyway....choose Lbstestmode in activities and the first entry under that menu with the same name.

App that spoofs carrier codes for Market?

I had a little app that would change the carrier code sent to the App Market, so that it would think you coming from AT&T, T-Mobile, or a bunch of other carriers.
I flashed my flash, and now I can remember what the app was called! I do remember its icon was a little green lock unlocked on the left side. Can someone help a brother out and point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Market Access
The app is called my market.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Thanks for the suggestions, but neither of these is what I had downloaded. The app I was using was black-themed, had three tabs, and let you apply different 6 digit carrier codes. It didn't access the Market itself. You still used the Market App, but the third option at the top was no longer AT&T... it was "downloads". It would also allow you to backup values, etc.
Anyone?

Market Enabler (another Program) and Market Access BOTH do this, however, Market Access allows for you to spoof on Boot, so that you essentially only need to spoof once.

Please from now on, use the search tool on the forums. I found the answer in 2seconds by searching "Market Restrictions"

Thanks Dave, but I was using the search function (and google) quite heavily with no luck. The key word I was missing was "Restrictions". I was using things like carrier codes spoofing, market carrier, etc and spending a lot of time looking in the different Markets themselves.
Thanks for the link, but I'm not sure the scolding was necessary.

well your not worthy to my almighty skills ..........just playing...no problem, hope that app works out for you
You've probably found it, but I think you are looking for Market Enabler.
It's icon is a green "ME" in front of paper bag. It has 3 tabs: "Actual", "Settings list", and "Set custom"
Thanks for the suggestion for Market Access warri, it'll be nice having it happen automatically.

May I enquire what app is it that you are trying to get by appearing to be on another carrier. I installed my market and it did allow me to do this, but looking around and pretending to be on another carrier did not reveal any great sounding apps at all. Most of what I saw was bloatware, or apps to check your account information, and look for things like the WiFi hotspots for that carrier. What is it that you are wanting to get, that is unavailable to us AT&T folks?

LG Revolution Service Codes

Not sure if this has been posted before, but for reference, here's two lovely commands for your Revo4g.
Please note! Not all of the commands in the menus are safe-- in fact, just plain ol assume that these menus can totally mess up your phone in a way not even LG understands.
If you don't know what you're doing, don't mess with them!
With that said, here they are.
Open the dialer, and dial:
VZW Hidden Menu
##program910
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
LG Hidden Menu
##lgservicemenu
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When prompted for a code, just enter zeroes until the dialogue box goes away. I didn't count how many...
I still need to finish analyzing the apps, but it looks like one could possibly enable some 'features' (*cough* tethering) if one pressed buttons in the correct order leading to a DUN MIP change
Good luck! Don't brick your device!
in LG Hideen Menu>data
there is Enable "Admin Data".....what could that be?
EDIT: Just a thought, does this have anything to do with the "Device Admin Settings" shortcut you can add with a long press on a homescreen?

You can actually set a shortcut to these in either launcher pro or adw I seem to recall. That will give you easy access to the features.

Any clue on how to open puk menu?

[Q] Action log/event viewer

Tried to do a search but can't really find anything that matches. My friend had a blackberry and he was showing me the action logs on it which shows what has been clicked and press or what/when apps had been ran/installed, etc. Something quite similar to like in windows event viewer or file auditor.
I was wondering if we have such apps. I am not talking about catlog and all those logging stuffs as they display way too much things.
Nearest that i can get are those spy logging apps which doesnt really serve the purpose here.
Any ideas guys?

Did you read my post? Launch the app, once it is launched three little dots will appear at the top or bottom of the screen, these are where you enter any applications settings.

Try a long-press on the screen? Most apps will follow the android guidelines of using the 3 dots to indicate the menu, but others (especially homescreens) will rely on long-presses to declutter the UI.

[APK][LG-D415] LG-D415 QuickButton Editor

This little utility application is designed for assigning a custom action to the QuickButton on the LG Optimus L90 LG-D415. This application is only for LG-D415 devices.
After flashing a custom ROM we basically have a useless button on our device. In my CM11 ROM, selfless plug LOL, I assign a WAKE action to the QuickButton which, when pressed, will wake the device. So the button's not completely worthless. This application was obviously written for LG-D415 users running custom ROMs but it may, as in maybe, work on stock as well.
Anyway in response to a thread that was created recently and also after having thought about it previously, I decided to write this app.
The application is not signed and does NOT have any kind of advertisements. The only requirement is ROOT privileges as it must write to a system file. You will be prompted for root confirmation when the app is launched for the first time, this also depending on how your superuser is set up.
This application modifies, actually replaces, /system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl. The application will back up your original gpio-keys.kl only the first time you Apply a custom action. That way you still have your original file in case of error. The back up is saved in the same folder as "gpio-keys.kl.bk".
Have fun!!!
I used it. It works. The button now bring up my camera. D415

No, I dont think so, mainly because I'm having to use key ids that are pre-defined. I will dig in to it a little deeper tho.
Sent from my LG-D415 using Tapatalk
After some more digging I've determined that there is no way to define a custom application to be called by the QuickButton. At the moment, the only way I can think of to possibly do this is to have a background service running to "listen" for the QuickButton presses and then launch the appropriate activity.
In reality, at the moment in any case, all this app does it trick the system in to believing that the QuickButton is actually the button whose action we assign to it belongs to.
I also found two more actions I missed, "Search" && "Bookmark". Haven't tested "Bookmark" yet so I'm not sure what app it opens. LOL. Will know shortly tho
I've also considered adding "Home" and "Menu" to the list as well. Thoughts?
I like the ideas, I just really liked to set the button to open up my messages.
I really like the app though. Plain and simple.

As for the "Search" and "Bookmark" I mentioned earlier, ehhh, no go. They don't do anything.
OP updated with new version - 0.1.1
[ CHANGES ]
- Removed redundant code
- Significant improvement in speed for writing changes to gpio-keys.kl.
- Application is now setting permissions, ( 0644 ), for gpio-keys.kl as well.

Running stock, there is really no need for my application. As much as I hate to admit it, LOL. At this point in time, no, the only choices are they default apps I have already listed in the application.
I believe in order to implement the ability to launch ANY activity ( APP ), I will need to create a background service to listen for QuickButton presses and then act accordingly. This is still theoretical, but from my programming experience, seems to be the only answer. Granted, I'm a Windows programmer, so there may be something I'm missing or overlooking too. LOL.
Oops... Sorry folks, I made a boo boo with my last uploaded version. There was still an entry for "Bookmark" in the radio button choices. "Bookmark" doesn't do anything. LOL.
New version added to the OP
I may have found a way to allow the QuickButton to open "ANY" application. I'm in the middle, well almost finished, of another project. Once I get a chance, I'll experiment with my latest findings and will let everyone know
Will this work on Lollipop? I'm assuming so but just wanted to make sure before I Install it. If it does, that would be awesome because this useless button is bothering me haha. Either way, great work man.
