[app] WHITE G1 USERS WE HAVE DARK KEYS FOR 1.5, FINALLY!

thank to this user nurre we have dark keys for cupcake/1.5
ok you kinda need root but lets face it if you haven't got root your a bit of a loser
Rename to darkkeys.apk and install just like any application, then when you first use it tell su permissions to allow always
optional: go to settings, applications, quick launch and then set a shortcut for dark keys so you can just click it off and on with just search+whatever
( i like to use search+0 )
WE CAN SEE ARE KEYBOARD
Oh btw this has been only tested on jf1.50 but I'm sure it will work on all builds
if not, comment and tell me

Tested and confirmed working, thank you so much!
-JF 1.50, Android Aero

How do you install this?

Like you would install any other non-market app.

I downloaded it, named it darkkeys.apk and it doesnt appear in the app installer.

Are you sure you haven't set Windows to hide known file extensions? In that case you might just have renamed the darkkeys.zip to darkkeys.apk.zip, which of course won't be recognized by the app installer.

I am having the same problem. So were do you go in windows to change this problem? Thanks for any help.

Nevermind i figured it out. thanks.

after installing screen doesnt go to sleep by itself

Works for 5.0.2Hr5-A2SD...thanks

plus one one this issue too, wont sleep by itself. love the idea/program but uninstalled for now.

What do dark keys do? You're not talking about the virtual keyboard right? Or is it something that controls the back light on the G1?

Searched for it. So it turns off the light from the keyboard? How would this be useful? I have a black G1 so maybe this doesn't really effect me...

You have it reversed, its for having the keyboard lit as long as you want it and turning it off after your done.

I'm having the same issue, it wont go to sleep and it kills the battery crazy

add me to the list of users with backlight issues using this 1.5 version... Makes me a sad panda. I had taken this app for granted before upgrading - now I miss it big time.

[Q] Menu and back buttons

Hi XDA, I have a problem with my phone.The menu and back buttons are "lightened" even in standby.
Is this something i should worry about or just leave it like that?

Please specify the ROM you are using

do u use bln?
bln will light your button if there's a now messages or missed call..

I think there's a build.prop mod to change this, but you will have to google it as I'm not sure which

Yes, it sometimes happens when using certain e-book readers or video players and changing brightness from within the application. Clear Memory if on stock. Any other ROM, a reboot should fix it.

I flashed the stock Rom and now works good, anyway thx for help

[Q] Physical Keyboard autocorrecting! WTF!

Running stock OTA jellybean, (without device wipe) (rooted). Don't know when this happened, but my phone corrects my words automatically when I type using the physical keyboard. For instance, every time I type "lol" it auto-changes it to "AOL". I even went into the "Language & input" settings, and disabled the "auto-replace" setting under Physical Keyboard. Then rebooted the phone.
And it STILL autocorrects my typing! I dont mine it underlining misspelled words, but I certainly don't want it assuming what I type. That's the whole point of the physical keyboard. I want what I type.
Any suggestions here?

You made this change?

No, I didn't realize that the Andorid Keyboard settings affected the physical keyboard . It looks like it worked! Thanks!

Even am facing the same issue!!!
On ICS, I had an option wherein the Auto-Correct used to work for the Onscreen typing whereas it used to leave it on me what am typing when using the Physical Keypad.
Disabling the Auto Correct, as the screenshot shows, will disable to Auto-Correct for OnScreen typing too, which I don't want! Can't I control Auto-Correct for each of them separately like I could on ICS??

I thought that too, but I did the option as in the screenshot, and my on screen keyboard still shows suggestions, buts doesn't auto correct. Try it, and see if that is what you need.
For me, I hate auto correct. Im ok with suggestions, but dont auto change things for me, so this fix is exactly what I needed.

This is an easy fix. I had the same issue. There are two steps.
Go into settings, Language & Input and uncheck auto-correct. (I assume you already did this.)
Next, in the Language & Input menu, scroll to Android Keyboard (AOSP) and click the gear icon. Scroll down and there is and option to disable Auto replace. Uncheck that.
Disabling both of those fixed it for me.

Thanks for making this thread. I just upgraded my ROM and had the exact same problem. It sucks that it removes the autocorrect for touchscreen typing too. The fact that these are no longer separate makes me sad. Death of QWERTY. I'm going to cry when I have to get a touchscreen only phone

I agree! Why in the world would you have 'physical keyboard' broken out with its own settings and then not actually respect those separate settings?! And otherwise why would you NOT have separate settings/parameters for separate keyboards on the phone? Like the OP says, this is the POINT of a physical keyboard; I want you to type WHAT I type, not what you THINK I should type.
Anyway... thanks, guys, for the info here.

For me a workaround was to make sure the app I want notifications from is running, then press the recents button and find the app on the list, then swipe the app down, it will only move a little way then spring back and also obtains a small padlock icon.
You will probably also need to go to the settings menu and find either protected apps or app settings (depends if you are using the Lollipop version or the Marshmallow beta) and enable the setting for the app which makes it stay awake when the phone sleeps.

Thanks so so much. I try this out

You have tomark the app to run in background...
this is no bug it is an energy saving feature.
the device has a stock white list of apps allowed to run in background.
but normally you re asked if an app should be able to run in background or not.
any app that is not allowed to will be closed immediately in standby

I've tried all of the above and still was missing viber notifications. Then I disabled Phone Manager and this sorted out the problem completely.

Wouldn't you need to root the phone and then use an app like TitaniamBackup to disable it?

Sound in "Pi" does not work for me...

I noticed while setting up an 'alarm' that there is no sound. Has anyone else notice this? I went into settings and still could not make any sound. Any suggestions would be helpful.

What ROM version of Pie are you using?
DU v13 Pie, sounds works with no issues at all. For any sound to work the media sounds must be install. Did you try playing a video or using the Web Browser to play sounds?

I have DU v13 Pie, tried a video and the browser, same results - nothing. Sorry (might be my age) but what is a media sounds and I assume its an app. Any good ones I should try?
Thanks for pointing out that I need to install some type of sound.

Update:
I Installed a couple of apps (VLC, Musicolot and a couple of others(since all removed)) plus I used to enjoy Crackle (Sony) it won't even start. Even tried to run a video from YouTube-nothing runs and still no sound.
Should I just start over again and re-install DU v13? And does that means all I have to do is just wipe everything and start with the steps on pg 1? Or is there another way?
From what I have seen so far on my tablet is AWESOME, just need to get some minor "bugs" work out.
HP_Touchpad thanks again for all your help.

quickly, erased everything, re-installed and now have sound. GREAT! Does anyone know of a good sound program for the HPTP? Now to get Sony Crackle to work.

Sound does work on all video playback, once you install the App, specially youtube, reboot the tablet as it may not work the first time is run.
For the alarm, after installing the Pico open Gapps go to sounds setting:
The default alarm sound is set to sunshower : is almost as there was no sound, not a good choice for alarm.
to change sounds
select it
select media storage ( do not select sounds ) it will not work
select from the list.
Attached are the screenshots.

Thanks HP_TOUCHPAD, but I cannot get those screenshots to come up??? Where do I select "change sounds" to get to the "media storage". I did install the Pico version, but I do not see "Gapps". So, I am really missing something here (sorry about that). I do have the Sound screen showing in your first screenshot, so hopefully I'm close. Again, I really appreciate your time on this.

_dave said:

Go to settings --->> Sounds ---->> Default alarm sound (sunshower) ***touch on it*** then a pop up will show to complete action using: select Media Storage and then always, on the next screen select the alarm sound you like.
Where do I select "change sounds" to get to the "media storage". I did install the Pico version, but I do not see "Gapps".
Gapps ( Google Apps ) if you install Pico is a variant of the Open Google Apps (Gapps)

When I touch on "Default alarm sound", I get 3 images under Default alarm sound; Currently set -Sun-Shower - Pixel Sounds; next is 'My Sounds' and finally 'Pixel Sounds'. If I touch on Currently set, I get "Sounds keeps stopping" with the following options a.) App info b.) Close app c.)Send feedback and finally d.) Copy crash log URL.
Also when this screen comes up, it sounds like running water.

_dave said:

That is because you already selected "sounds instead of Media Storage before" and now the app preference for sound is the Sound app and it crash, but there is an option to use Media Storage.

To fix it:
Go to settings and on the search bar on top, type Reset app Preferences.
Three results will show, touch Reset app preference ( reset apps )
The sound app will be reset, now go back to sound alarm, this time it will show an option select [ Media Storage ]

HP_TOUCHPAD, once again thank you. So much to learn. Is there a reference book or epub that shows some of these aids?

You are very welcome, if there is any manuals or reference books I do not know. I learn as I go, just found out how to do it and fix it. Customs ROMs have their Tweaks as not all may work as expected and then you have Android that is very fragmented, is all about feeling lucky and give it your best shot!
