[TWEAK]Skipping lockscreen with hard button

Hey,
I don't want to call it a tweak, but I can't find another word what can describe it.
I've my Xperia Arc S since two days and I am playing a bit around with it.
What I've seen is, that I hate the power button and the lockscreen looks good, but I don't like the sliding. But I don't lke 3rd party lockscreen apps, too, because they eat memory and sometimes you have to wait for them to unlock the phone.
Some guys knew my MIUI Roms for Nexus One, Nexus S and Incredible S, but with Arc S I've thought that I don't want to do any development.
But hey, trying some things are not as bad.
So:
If you don't like lock screen sliding, you can do the following
- open a root explorer on your Arc (S)
- navigate to /data/local
- make a new file there
- call it "enable_menu_key"
- give it the right permissions, as the other files in that folder have
Then you can unlock your phone with Home key (opens to lock screen) and then simply pressing menu key for going to the home screen
This is a simple thing, you can try it. I'm new to Xperia Arc. Don't cry too loud if it was a bad idea to post this. If you can use it, be happy with it.
And a bit more power to your phone:
Open the build.prop in the /system folder, search for "dalvik heap size" and change it from 32 to 48. Then you have to reboot. It's a bt more speed or less laggy.
Bye!
Download the enable menu key file:

tweak work, thx for this.

Does it works for X10 also ?

I think yes.
You can try it. There's nothing to damage with.
If it don't work, just delete the file.
Could you post if it works on your phone?

It works on my ARC S... Is there a way to make Home button to unlock the screen? I tried to make a file enable_home_key but it does not work...

Not so easy. This what I have posted is an very old hack left from the Google programmers while making Android.
They don't want to unlock the phones every time while coding and testing.
But you're right, home key is better.
If anyone has an idea... ;-)

For other keys you would need to change Android code.
See android sourcecode in: /frameworks/base/policy/src/com/android/internal/policy/impl/LockScreen.java
You can easily add any key to this But for that you would need to compile your own version of Android OR lockscreen.
But i personally don't like this "feature" much. It's very insecure if you carry the phone in your pocket You could accidently unlock the phone ...
Regards

I must resist to compile something. :-D
I wanna settle down a bit but I don't know if I can do a full stop.
But we can meet in real life. I'm coming from 42499, 25 km from you

hi Bin4ry i agree with u... i have even disabled "wake using home button" on my ARC...
actually wht i was thinking is can we use the second level of camera button (the click image mode not focus mode) to act as a power button?

Hm, never accidently unlocked the phone on arc with the buttons.

It works... thanks so much for share your trick!

Works like a charm!
Very convenient! I use a nice case but power button is a hit-and-miss and this trick made my life a bit easier!
Also, as Doom said, I really hope to see a MiUI ROM by you posted here!!

[Q] Persistent notification apps getting killed

Hi everyone, so during multitasking my C5303 LTE on stock .257 kills everything in sight, including supposedly unkillable apps that are in the notification bar!
Any idea what might be causing it and how to fix it?
- Installed unmodified Sony rom over carrier-modified rom (Orange France) using flashtool.
- Rooted the phone using doomlord (problem appeared before rooting).
- Bootloader remains locked.
- Ram Manager on "Hard Multitasking" and Autokiller Memory Optimizer on "Moderate" do not help.
- My 2012 Nexus 7 has pretty much the same widgets running and number of apps installed without problems.
Thanks in advance!

Its because of the stupid rminfree ram settings.
My opinion, install v6 supercharger script and configure it. The bulletproof those apps so that they won't be killed!

True!
Whenever i download torrent file using any client on my phone and keep the client in the background then after sometime it automatically gets killed but in notofication panel is says that app is running,......

run v6 script.
choose option 16 (the one for bulletproof apps)
it will list the ongoing processes, so type the name of the process, and follow instructions

Thanks a lot sarkar.
I must say I'm disappointed in Sony for coding such crappy settings. It takes A LOT of work to go back to a state of normalcy, I've never had another Android device prevent me from listening to music or blind me by killing lux while I'm simply browsing.

I really don't get it.
Just create a SManager widget for the /data/bulletproof_apps.sh and one for the supercharger settings. That way you just click them once on reboot and you are good to go.
Btw, just use chrome for some time and see whether Walkman still gets killed? Just dont open a video or anything that has sound in it.
My 2 year old Nexus has much better RAM and OOM management. Unfortunately, I damaged the device and had to buy the SP.

Well, then it may have been killed because the temple run, which was active needed more memory and the walkman was the one that was killed to give it space.
Wait for the next update, I hope Sony fixes these issues.

CM 10.1 had some lag issues on their lockscreen and systemui stutters. But they would still solve some of the major blunders on this device. However, until Sony releases some sort of AOSP project on this I can see nothing being developed for this.
FXP still does not have this device and being a mid-ranger, I see none of the devs taking too much interest here. Its really a very sad situation here.

i think i figured out why walkman got killed while playing the game.. it's not because of the game,mate, looks like it's because of the mail notification that u have quoted me on XDA!! (notifications do not sound while playing walkman somehow, just pauses the music for a second for some reason). but while playing the game, the expected pause is actually killing walkman!!

Would it be possible / beneficial to install an unmodified jellybean rom?

Improved performance with "Performance Booster"

I have LG Optimus 4X HD since 2012. It was good until I upgraded to JB 4.1.2 (official). Severe battery drain, game lags, heating etc forced me to install custom ROMs. First tried CM, better than stock but not as good as I wanted; then tried MIUI V5, much better than both stock & CM. Never tried custom kernels though. I even tried other Chinese ROMs (based on stock) to see if better. Battery, UI etc were more than satisfactory with MIUI but lags in games and sometimes hanging while opening apps were still frustrating. Then one day I saw "Performance Booster" somewhere & gave a try with free version first. It drastically changed the performance then I installed donate version which improved overall experience. As mentioned in the app it didn't improve benchmarks but improved phones performance for sure. In other words, it saved my money from buying a new phone. Now I don't need new one as I have 'Huawei Mediapad X1' for reading, games & watching videos, which I bought here in China for less than 300$ (it's 400 Euros outside China).

So what is it? I don't try to be rude, but at least you can share where we can find it or something. I know Google it's a good friend but I don't know what exactly. BTW thanks for share your experience

I think it's not allowed to post links to apps here in this forum so didn't post. You can search in play store, it's there, give a try & see yourself.

S5 Mini (G800F) - recommendable phone?

Hi guys and girls,
short question, but important:
Is the G800F a good shot? What are your experiences? A family member wants to buy a new phone (a mini version, because its mini ), so I recommended the S5 Mini.
Please tell me some negs and pros, before we buy the wrong phone..
S5 is brilliant, so I hope the mini is it, too..
Thank you

make a backup for the efs in case you lost the sim and restore it
all other things are the same no need to worry

The phone is not in my hands then, I can not flash it because of 600 kilometers between us so the phone gets lollipop when sammy released it.. Would it be mine, I would flash cm or similar one
We hope that sammy really pushes the update out.. Talking about marshmallow is a joy, just not more than a good joke, I believe...

I came from a desire hd to g800f (uk)
Run the software updates asap, fix quite a few issues.
Phone size is similar, but lighter.
Battery, providing you don't keep 4g/sync/gps on all the time you'll see 2-3 days normal use even more if you don't use it much. I've had 7 days so far.
Speed, well I had an old smart phone so this is incredible.
All apps I've used work well except sphere camera.
The only downsides, bundled Samsung crap and the emoticons in messages like to use mms over sms so watch out on that part.
The screen always turns on when receiving sms and I've accidentally gone through menus and called people from my pocket.
Depending which pocket you put it in, I find I press the screen on button in my right pocket so need to carry in my left.
Overall, it's good & well priced

I come from S4 Mini. For me it was a big biiiig update: LED notification, larger screen, HD display, etc etc... S5 is by far better then the S4 in my eyes. BUT!
I am aswell a flash-o-holic - I always need to have the perfect rom for my uses - and the S4 Mini was in these terms godlike. My last flashings were a few month ago..
The S5 Mini especially the 800F isnt somehow... loved enough?.. to get some custom Roms. I am curently on CM12.1 by hennymcc (TY for your work!) and I am not really satisfied with this rom and it needs some improvements (photo quality, cant connect to my bt box..)
I really am thinking of turning back to stock...
Next consideration is: this device is forgotten by samsung.
5.1.1 will be released 2019! *jk

I am in sort of a pickle. I've had the S5 for a couple months now and I, too, come from a phone that had an amazing variety of choices when it came to ROMs. Unfortunately (I live in Germany), I have the G00F and there is only 1 ROM currently available (CM12.1) and it is still in beta development. The ROM was sort of useable but crashed quite a bit), but the bluetooth worked perfectly. I went back to the stock ROM and everything works great, but the bluetooth is terrible. The phone is pretty much unusable when the bluetooth is on and connected with headphones or something else. Other than bluetooth issues, the phone works perfectly.

how exactly is it unusable? did you try re-flashing your device or did you use any third party bluetooth apps?
Im curious cause I think I will really go back to stock.

Only 2GB of RAM in Nexus 5? No problem! (great memory management)

In 2016 2GB of RAM in smartphones is nothing special, it's a minimum to get Android working good. Flagships have 4GB of RAM, OnePlus 3 even more. But... I'm so impressed how my Nexus 5 can handle apps running in background. I've been always satisfied with overall speed and memory management and now I can see it even more. Today I've made a completely clean flash with DARK ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/rom-dark-rom-t3368248 and I opened couple of my apps.
So I ran:
MAPS.ME
Chrome Dev with 1 website opened
Instagram
Twitter
Facebook Messenger
Play Store
Phone app
Youtube
Spotify
Weather Timeline
WhatsApp
Tapatalk
QuickPic v4.5.2
Settings app
After open of each app, of course, I tapped home button, not back button. I did not only open each app but I did navigate a little, for example in Youtube I ran a video and THEN I tapped home button. So every app was running 100%. And guess what... EVERY app stayed in memory, when I relaunched every app, I haven't any reload, every app was working exactly as after first run. And everything was 100% smooth and fast. I wash I had a good camera to record a video, but I will try to capture it in few days. But why would I lie? [emoji14] Every Nexus 5 user should believe me, I guess. Of course, probably custom ROM and kernel make a difference in compare to stock ROM. Also, each ROM can work better or worse. So what's your experience when it comes to memory management in our 3 YEARS OLD device? (sorry for my not perfect English)

The post is really good in my opinion im pretty sure it really depends on the ROM and not on every ROM that will work for example the CM13 was alot faster than dirty unicorns ( Im currently running ) but i really like the rom its just all about modding ( i enabled the gesture the omni switch and there is alot more ) [the phone is fully loaded in tasks but still abale to be really good phone without any freezes or lags

____MODS______
there is a stereo mod for nexus ( you are going to use your phone call speaker as a normal one )
Extra smoth mod really good mod but it includes new video driver so beware you doesnt have to worry about installing it
Nexus Volume booster there is an app at the play store wich creates a custom zips for this and it actually working !
PHYSICAL MOD I CANT REALLY RECOMMEND YOU DOING THIS AND I NOT GIVING ANY WARRANTY i just took apart my phone (its not that simple be really of the battery don't bend it if you are trying to get it out ( recommend you not doing this ) when you removing the battery connector DON'T bend it too much or it may break OK and be really gentle with the antennas so what are you have to do it sound really simple just apply thermal paste ( it helped me alot for some reason my phone was really Thermal Throttling all the time ) take the primary mobo out you doesnt have to take out the little board above the primary one dont forget to disconnect the camera )
( there is a really good root toolkit it includes back ups lock and unlocks of the boot loader custom recoveries in other words all the good stuff just search in google "nexus root toolkit")
hear is a few tips from experienced nexus 5 user

This makes me so proud to be an owner of a such beautiful device. I see people selling it on second hand sites for almost nothing, I actually thing of grabbing another one, or two.
And recently Im more into trying to get my old phones work good(nexus 4 - cm 12.1 - works like a breeze, galaxy sIII MINI - cm 12.1 unofficial - very impressed about how I got it to work, galaxy s plus - gingerRevenge - still works quite good with lighter tasks. And I bet there are a lot more older phones that still works good today.
I tell u. People dont know how to apreciate good tehnology. Also I hate this marketing making u buy a new phone every year.

The post is really good in my opinion im pretty sure it really depends on the ROM and not on every ROM that will work for example the CM13 was alot faster than dirty unicorns ( Im currently running ) but i really like the rom its just all about modding ( i enabled the gesture the omni switch and there is alot more ) [the phone is fully loaded in tasks but still abale to be really good phone without any freezes or lags
