[MODS PLEASE DELETE] Notifications disappear

Mods - you can delete this thread as it turns out it is NOT a general issue, but a ROM issue. Thanks!
For some reason, my notifications have started silencing. Ringtones still work - but SMS, Email, etc don't. This effect seems to go away after reboot.
I am a pretty experienced Android user, and have checked volume and sound to make sure they are set right - which they are.
Using Cyanogen 5.0.4.1, but have not had this problem before so I'm thinking it is an app issue.
I don't want to start uninstalling apps willy-nilly...anyone else having this issue?
This is my logcat when a message is received:

Are you using a dock? If so it's happening to me too. If I reboot and don't use the dock it stops. There was some talk about it in the CM thread as a known issue.

[Q] Disable reboot on holding down power button

In some of my jeans the N7000 just baraly fits, my big problem here is when Im sitting on a low chair (school) the powerbutton sometimes gets pressed for 10 seconds, which will cause a reboot. This happens a lot to me.
I have searched for a while now but I can not find a solution for my problem

Anyone?

After about 30 reboots it's time for another kick

Have you tried any cases or bumpers that may prevent the button from being pushed in? It may help somewhat. I'm pretty sure the reboot on long press is a hardware function, not a software one. I don't think it can easily be removed.

I prefer not to have a case around my N7000, it makes it much fatter.
Bumpers should do the trick, do you have any ideas?
Ofcourse a software solution would be so much better...

Anyone? I don't want to sell the thing but this almost leaves me no choice..

You're my only hope

[MOD] Getting tablet UI on CM9

Since I saw some people wants tablet UI on mirroring or lapdock,
I made a file for Atrix's CM9 based on this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467051
I didn't post a screenshot cause you can see it at link.
Every UI will change to that of tablet, and every app will act as tablet.
So here's the steps you have to do.
http://api2.ge.tt/0/81rFJED/0/blob/download
1. Download services.jar and overwrite it to /system/framework.
(Of course, need 644 permission.
If you are not sure, see other file's permission in folder.)
(This file is based on alpha 7)
2. Open /system/build.prop
3. Find the line 'ro.build.characteristics=default'
and change the 'default' to 'tablet'
4. Set the screen density to 120 by changing
'ro.sf.lcd_density=240' to 'ro.sf.lcd_density=120'
5. Save and reboot.
6. You will get tablet UI
So, If you want to get back,
just change your density to 240 and it will revert to phone UI.
We need reboot between UI change now,
but maybe devs can do some mod after CM9 have all feature

Awesome but, it doesn't look very good on the lap dock - there is something wrong with the resolution. Im sure it will be fixed.
Additionally if the phone could switch the UI from Phone to Tablet when HDMI is connected it would be an awesome way to ditch the awful Webtop.

+1 Thanks to you man!!
was trying to do this by editing the services.jar, this is WONDERFUL.
if possible can you tell me how to do a PM? (where changing the file classes), baksmali, simali need not only change which line ...

soluttion calls
folks, you should now be aware that the "app called" force close, I've tried the app (phone) several roms without success .. == force close when calling ==
ps: but the calls continue in the background!
some options:
1 - ShakeCall (has other apps)
2 - accessibility options = end call button poweer

This is cool!
I tried it, its like having a small tablet....
Just a pitty about the phone UI, its not actually usuable like that!
Whatching for development

I see great potential in this.
If we could autoscript something, where if the phone recognises that it's been connected via HDMI (for mirroring), then it automatically changes into tablet UI. That'll be so freakin awesome! And it'll be a good webtop replacement for CM9!

I would love to have this ability. I am not a huge fan of the webtop as is, and if there was a method to use this UI through the HDMI connection (especially through a lapdock) I could see some cool things happening.

Only thing that stopped me from using this is that I can't use the phone
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

The phone capability would be awesome to have, and I wouldn't doubt that the extremely talented DEV people could find a way to make that work, but no phone isn't a deal breaker for me.
I tried to get awareness of this in the CM9 thread of jokersax, but there is more important talk going on over there at the moment. Hopefully someone will pick up this project further, and make it available to those who want it (and hopefully add in the missing functionalities).
The UI experience I think would clean up the overall install of things on the phone, get rid of the webtop and/or separate OS installation, and provide one OS that will be used for both the phone and a docking experience.
We'll see though .

I can start working on this, this weekend, I've been busy working on a small version of vector Linux that runs through vnc on the lap dock.

OK, hadn't thought of build root, the only thing I'm having a little trouble is getting it to mount the 32 gb SD card, even after partitioning it for vector. Sometimes it'll mount. Some times mope

I don't sure if it's possible, but can we run vnc server on android and connect from Chroot/vnc environment. Sort of vnc in vnc. If it's possible we can use it instead aiw application.

I can try that when I get home, but I don't think it'll work.

Heck Yeah
I started up the talk again! haha
Thanks guys for talking/looking into getting this to work. Hopefully bumping this post will get people to check into this more, and be guinea pigs for the testing.
Unfortunately, my schedule and how I use my phone doesn't allow me the time to easily help out with testing things, and I apologize about that ahead of time.
Keep up the good work, and please keep us informed!
Also, I'm not sure if the thread creator would get upset with you working on his stuff (and publishing it for testing, or whatever) without proper consent. Just wanted to throw that out there, just in case. I don't want to see the progress on things to be thwarted due to something as trivial as getting a "verbal" OK to work on making something better.
Thanks for the time all!

[APP][NST/G] Quick Tiles

*6-17-23 Updated to 2.2*
--removed dependency on ScreenShotEasy
--added small binary file to convert frame buffer contents to png image
If you are updating, you must uninstall the previous version and read below as the app function has changed starting with 2.0.
The Quick Tiles app is an implementation for the NST/G of a now ubiquitous feature of modern Android systems. In this version for the NST/G, the user may select and arrange up to eight "tiles" which are shortcuts to features such as WiFi, screen orientation, NoRefresh, FastMode, and others. You may also edit the selection and arrangement of the tiles via the panel itself (the "pencil"--see screenshot below). I've tried to keep the selection of options focused on the typical areas of display and connectivity, although I have included some mode functions as well, such as display refresh modes and USB host. I welcome suggestions for additional options, but would discourage trying to make a "launcher" application out of what should be shortcuts to basic functions.
General Requirements
1. Root. A number of tiles require root to access shell commands or something else generally off limits to typical user access. Root permission is required only once, however, since it's all one app. The quickest way to get this over with is a long-press on the WiFi tile. This tries to access the WiFi Settings section of the Settings app and so needs root access. Once you've approved that, anything else will be OK.
2. This is a Tasker-generated app. If you already have one of my other Tasker-generated apps, you don't need the two Google maps library files included in the zip and can delete them. If you do need them, copy the two files into the locations shown below:
/system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml
/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar
Set permissions for both files to rw-r--r-- and reboot. Without these files resident, the app will not install.
3. Copy the binary file "fb2png" to /data/local, permissions rwx rx rx
4. Copy the folder "QTiles" (and its contents) from the zip to the root of your SD card.
5. Because it is used (by Tasker) as a plugin, RotationLocker is a dependency of the app. It must be installed whether you use that feature or not.
6. Copy the QuickTiles apk file to your SD card and install via a file manager or install via ADB.
Setup
This app includes all the functionality of many other small apps I have put together. As such, it needs many of the configuration measures and/or plugins for those apps (but not the actual apps themselves such as USB Audio, Screenshot, ES Remote Manager, RN Menu, WiFi Menu, etc.--any of these other apps may be uninstalled if you are using Quick Tiles). As supplied, the app is configured to show only the WiFi tile (option wifi1). This configuration information is stored in the file QTiles/qtiles.txt:
Code:
wifi1,blank,blank,blank
You can edit this file on the NST/G with a text editor or on your PC.
New in version 2.x
To enable Quick Tiles, tap on the icon after installation. You will eventually see a message that the app is enabled. This means there is now a transparent overlay which covers the status bar from the right edge of the "menu" button to approximately the clock. The stock "hot spot" for the WiFi/Glowlight dialog extends fully over the clock. I stopped my overlay before the clock to allow access to bookmarking in the stock reader. So if you've gotten used to tapping in the upper right corner for WiFi/Glowlight, you'll need to relearn the motion. What you gain (besides Quick Tiles) is the possibility of assigning some other function to "clock" using NTMM, although it won't work in the Reader. Meanwhile, Quick Tiles will work in the Reader as well as everywhere else, whether the status bar is visible or not. Also, enabling Quick Tiles means that if you reboot, the transparent overly will reappear (shortly) without any additional action on your part (i.e., you never need to tap on the app icon again). To open the panel, just tap on the status bar between the "menu" button and the clock. You can close the panel manually by swiping upward (a little clumsy) or tapping on the small arrow at bottom center.
There are potential hazards associated with blocking areas of the screen, even apparently "blank" areas of the status bar. During testing I found at least one app that used the "hot spot" area when in full-screen mode: QuickPic. Editing and other tools appear in that area and are blocked by the transparent overlay of QuickTiles. My solution was to add an "escape" of sorts. If you long-press on the "hot spot" you will shortly see a toast stating that the app is disabled for 1 minute. This allows access to potentially blocked spots some apps may use.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the Quick Tiles panel is open, a long-press on the pencil icon in the lower right will attempt to open the configuration file for editing. If you choose whatever text editor you have as the default for a .txt file, the next time you access this function the file will open immediately (ES Note Editor, a part of ES File Explorer, is a great simple text editor). Changes in the configuration are immediate, i.e., the next time you open the panel, you will see the new arrangement. YOU MUST SELECT A MULTIPLE OF FOUR TILES, INCLUDING BLANKS (i.e., either 4 or 8 tiles).
All the tile options are listed below, along with links for configuration information and download links for apps used as plugins. These are also the names to be used in the configuration qtile.txt file as well as the names of icon files in Qtiles/icons (if you hate my icons, you may design your own, as long as you adhere to the same size of transparent png). By their nature, some tiles require the panel to close before execution. Actions which display alerts or dialogs are examples. Others (such as WiFi) can operate either with auto-close of the panel or without. It's your choice. I find myself often wanting something else after starting WiFi, so I have that tile set for manual close. Where this is an option there are two identical icons such as wifi1 and wifi2. The option with the "1" will auto-close the panel in every case. If you choose the option with the "2", you can close the panel yourself with an upward swipe or the little arrow.
Note: where an app is required, you only need to install it if you are going to use that function. This does not include RotationLocker which is a dependency.
blank
Place-holder. It should be used to make a full count of four (one row) or eight (two rows), if you are using fewer than a full row. It could also be used for spacing.
clearscreen
Uses the Nook Clear Screen app as a plugin (download).
fastmode1/2
Toggle shortcut to FastMode2 (the original FastMode has a different package name and will not work). It behaves exactly the same way as tapping on the regular FastMode icon. You must have FastMode2.apk installed (download) as well as a kernel that supports this display mode.
ftp
Shortcut to the Remote Manager function of ES File Explorer. WiFi must be on for this to work. Termination of the Remote Manager is handled through the notification window. You must have some version of ES File Explorer installed (download).
glowlight
Duplicates the behavior of QuickNav button #5 (default) for the NSTG, calling up the GlowLight control panel.
glowtoggle
Toggles the light off/on with a tap. A long-press calls up the GlowLight control panel.
Note: this option assumes you have not reassigned a long-press of the "n" button to anything but the Glowlight. Otherwise, a tap on the icon will call up whatever alternative you have selected.
input
Calls up the Android 2.1 keyboard selector. Keyboard apps should be placed in /system/app and permissions set to rw-r-r.
norefresh1/2
Toggle shortcut to NoRefresh (the package names for the two versions of the app are apparently the same so whichever you have should work). It behaves exactly the same way as tapping on the regular NoRefresh icon. Generally you don't need this, but those of us who use NoRefresh know that it sometimes just drops out! You must have either of the two NoRefresh apps installed (download) as well as a kernel that supports this display mode. Note: this assumes you have all the automatic/gesture options disabled. The contrast adjustment is OK, but the rest causes all kinds of trouble.
reboot
Calls up a dialog similar to the stock shut down dialog. If reboot is confirmed, executes a complete reboot from the "Read Forever" screen.
rotation
Toggle (default portrait) that uses the Rotation Locker app to change the screen orientation. Landscape mode is locked in by using a notification/background service. It is best not to exit landscape via the notification since that will probably confuse the toggle variable. Return to portrait should be done via the Quick Tile. Requires RotationLocker app (download).

Uses /data/local/fb2png to take a screenshot and then displays a brief, smaller version of the screenshot as well as a notification. Images are saved to /sdcard/Pictures/Screenshots. Create folders if they don't exist already.
usbaudio
Toggle which starts/stops USB audio service and prompts for the appropriate connections before displaying on-sceen media volume controls. Requires a kernel supporting USB host, additional patches for audio, as well as phone.apk in system/app for media volume control.
usbhost
Toggle which starts/stops USB host service and prompts for the appropriate connections. Requires a kernel supporting USB host.
wifi1/2
Toggle which bypasses the B&N WiFi Quick Settings dialog. If WiFi is off, it turns it on. If it's on, it turns it off. A long-press on this tile turns on the WiFi radio and opens the WiFi Settings menu for occasions when you need to select and log on to an unfamiliar network.
Note that something like wifi1/2 in the list above actually represents two different options, wifi1 and wifi2

Heads up, the RotationLocker link on this is dead, 403 forbidden

No luck here. It downloads an apk file which contains the contents of the 404 page.
Tried in another browser logged out, logged in, etc

That one worked, thanks!
Got QuickTiles installed now. Very happy with it, makes some functions much easier to handle.
Is it possible to move the files from the SD to the system? I don't keep an SD card with my nook right now as I am constantly rewriting it for testing.

Mmm....it's probably possible. Fortunately I still have all the bits on my KitKat device (Tasker AppFactory will not run on Eclair, not even version 1) from just updating the app. As it happens this is something I'm looking into for my weather widget which I've been doing some update work on when not putting out fires in the Forest of Arden (BTW, the other UK "helpee" managed nicely on a second try with your directions, so thanks from both of us). I believe moving its folder to /media will resolve an issue present since version 1, but I've gotten bogged down in other issues and haven't tried it yet. I'm also working on a mod of Mantano Reader, so the little grey cells get a bit jumbled at times.
Let me see if I can quickly change all the references from "sdcard" to "media" and recompile. It may take a day and I probably won't test it. I'll leave that to you. Meanwhile, you clearly need a couple of sdcards.

Managed to find another SD card but I would still like it to run without certainly. No rush on it!

Give the attached apk a try. Best to uninstall the old one first, move the Qtiles folder and contents to /media and then install the new app. Tap on the icon and see what happens. As I said, I did not test this, but I think I caught all the directory changes. Unless there is an access issue, it should function.

Sorry. I'll have to do it the hard way. I need to find out the correct syntax anyway for my other WIP.

Um....did you remember to copy the Qtiles folder (and contents) into /media from the sdcard (or the original zip)?

I did indeed.
I uninstalled, moved the directory from SD to media using windows, checked with ADB shell that the files existed, and that they had loose permissions.
I then installed and attempted starting but no luck.
I also did several combinations of install, uninstall and reboots to ensure it wasn't a fluke

I just downloaded what I posted and tried that. It also works.
MD5: 34c265a260da53ab9ac83d5ba154905a
CHMOD on the QTiles folder and contents = 775
Your logcat seems to be saying that the app never successfully installed. The files it is looking for in /data/data/com.home.nmyshkin.quicktiles are the xml configuration files normally installed by the apk package and one where variable values are stored as they change with operation and configuration. Something is definitely wrong. Did you ask RelaunchX to install this for you (which should invoke the stock package installer) or did you install via ADB, or.....?

I have now fully uninstalled QuickTiles, recopied it over to my SD Card, recreated my QTiles directory in /media and installed using ReLaunchX - my usual install method is ADB, never have I installed anything using ReLaunchX before now.
Its working now. I guess yet another one of those unexplained issues... Quite annoying
