Clock to digital (XX:XX)

How do I make the clock in display digital time instead of AM/PM mode?
Can't find the setting anywhere!
Using SwiftBLs rom v 5.5...

Start > Settings > System > Regional Settings and choose your region.
Changing regional settings requires a softreset afterwards.

i think you intended to say:
Start > Settings > System > Regional Settings > Time > Time Style

..
That method didn't work for me .. I ended up changing the registry setting
HKLM\nls\overrides\ITime

Thanks a bunch, works for me!!

Easy method is just to go into the time section of regional settings and simply delete the AM & PM option.

trixster...i can see why

Force of habit for me, can't stand the am/pm malarky so I just delete the text option on all things that have it. It's not that brute force tbh, just remove the text from the drop down box and if you ever want it back then just type it back in

I've got a problem with my clock in TF now too - and I've not installed any new software or tweaked anything.
All of a sudden it's in 24hr (which I want) but without a leading zero. Also when I go 'back home' very briefly I see an AM/PM symbol on the zero before it flips over to the current time.
I've searched everywhere, reset my phone, regional settings from something else back to UK, looked in the tls registry entry but can't find anything that will put it back to the HH:mm format.
Any ideas? Will reinstalling TF work do you think?

i think it is once again:
Start > Settings > System > Regional Settings > Time > Time Style (see post #3)
try and let us know..

Unfortunately this doesn't work either as there is only one setting there. I've even tried reinstalling Manila.
It's bizarre. I get HH:mm after 12pm but in the morning it's showing as H:mm rather than HH:mm - plus there is a small AM on the first digit. All as if Manila thinks it should show 12hr time in the AM and then 24hr time in the PM!
It's telling the time so I suppose it's no biggie but it's not what I'm used to and I don't know why it's just suddenly doing it and I can't fix it.
The clock on the taskbar is correct which makes it even more weird.
Anyone know of any other reg settings to force a fix?

Can anyone recommend

An app or widget that will allow me to connect to WiFi networks - something nice and efficient?
I currently have to go through Settings - Wireless - Wireless settings - then choose a network. I'd like a one click solution.
cheers

You can put a shortcut to the On/Off switch on any homescreen.
You'll find it at:
Settings>HTC-widget>Settings>WiFi

Thats just 'on/off' toggle which is not what I'm after - I want an app that will ( at one click ) - show available networks ( open or otherwise ) and let me join them.

That would be nice indeed! I'm also interested.

I installed Andrew Schwimmer's 'Bar Control' app. I how have a "Wi-fi settings" shortcut in my notification bar - ideal.

Does your Hero not notify you when it finds an open network ?
Mine does and by hitting the notification, it takes you to the correct Settings page to choose a network.

[Q] Undoing a choice

Figured it out alreay, but thx anyway, maybe this gonna help peeps in the future:
Select "Settings" (the gear icon) > Apps (located in the left pane) > click on option icon (located at the top right corner of the screen) > select "Reset app preferences".
There will be warning message. Simply click on "Reset apps".
:good:

Settings > Apps > choose the app > Clear Defaults !

[MOD] Enable "Hidden" Quick Settings Tiles

This is how to enable all the "hidden" quick tiles in the notification bar that seemed to have been disabled. Between versions of the S5 variants, several quick tiles seemed to be missing from some and enabled in others. Remember, I am NOT responsible for stupidity or whining if YOU do something wrong, phone explodes, etc.
The modifications need Root, SQLite Editor (or equivalent app functioning) and a brain
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CORRECT PERMISSIONS ON Settings.db OR IT WILL NOT WORK
-----Enabling Quick Tiles-----
1. Open up SQLite Editor
2. Select the Apps tab -> scroll down to Settings Storage and select
3. Click settings.db
4. Click system
5. Click search icon on top right (easiest method to filter) or scroll through db (harder way)
6. Type "notification" in the Filter Value field and press ok
7. Tap "notification_panel_active_app_list" -> select pencil icon on top to edit
8. In Value field, all enabled toggles are listed. Now, add the word "MobileData" (no spaces or quotation marks) to end of list (make sure to have NO SPACES between entries and semicolons separating each entry)
----> ex. Wifi;MobileData;WifiHotspot;Sound; ....
9. Once you add "MobileData", click save button.
10. Close SQLite editor and reboot/profit (see attached screenshot for what it should appear as)
This works for any quick settings tiles that are present, but you MUST type in the correct name (capital letters, no spaces, semicolons all count). One mistake will not show the tile after reboot.
----> instead of "MobileData", you can also "WifiHotspot" (already enabled in miked63017 zip for Hotspot Mod here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2727127 ). Download Booster Quick tile is also able to be added but has no function yet (see my post on updates to status towards getting this working here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2719582 )
-----Missing Tiles (so far noticed, if you know another please comment)-----
*These are exact as they should appear,no spaces and capital letters (case sensitive)
Wifi;MobileData;SilentMode;Location;WiFiHotspot;NetworkBooster;Bluetooth;AirplaneMode;PowerSaving;UltraPowerSaving;Sync;AutoRotate;TouchSensitivity;AllShareCast;Toolbox;MultiWindow;Nfc;SmartStay;SmartPause;DormantMode;CarMode;PersonalMode;SBeam;AirView;AirGesture;DrivingMode;SmartStay;SmartScroll;SmartPause;ToddlerMode;EBook;SmartNetwork;WifiCalling
They can be put in any order and then, upon reboot, be arrange according.
Big thanks to eyecon82 for pathway and miked63017 for Hotspot Mod additions.

wyoud you please be able to post what tiles are missing or what all of them are so users can compare if they need to do this or not .

This is great..unfortunately some of the biggest variants that have hidden the downloadbooster have also locked bootloaders

Right now, I'm investigating an apk with the hidden 'false' value for Booster to see, if by enabling, that it'll work. May not need anything other than push ability and some apps to edit at least. Still WIP, hopefully more results soon.

ronger here with the G900W
step 7. Tap "notification_panel_active_app_list" -> select pencil icon on top to edit
when I open to edit I have nothing in value
but if I open the file "notification_panel_active_app_list_for_reset" i have all the values in there, also running a rom , not sure if it matters but its in my signature.
im trying to add Touch Sensitivity which i don't have in the shortcuts notification panel
edit
i was on the reset app list and not the active one
however after adding ;TouchSensitivity; and the end of the values , it still doesn't appear

I am rooted on an S5, using a different application called SQLite Manager, but go into applications, setting storage, and all I see is one folder called databases, and another called lib.
Any ideas?

Did you check in the folder called Databases?

Anyone know if it's possible to add Tasker shortcuts to the TouchWiz Quick Settings??
And Bonus points if you can assign your own icon for it?

Thank you for your reply. I did, and I think the settings.db file is there. But when I try to edit it, the program force closes. Using SQLite Manager. Not sure if it's a problem on my end or with the application.

Question Network Modes (5G-2G)

I just moved new from huawei to samsung. and on huawei they always had a shortcut to switch directly to 4G only. also when long pressing on the mobile data in quickpanel it took you directly to the setting page where you can change the network mode.
On samsung software i cant seem to find any shortcut to this except to go to settings > connections > mobile networks > network mode and change from there. I dont want to keep it at automatic because sometimes i am in poor reception areas and already have wifi so i need to force it to 2g only which has better reception. (to reduce battery drain)

This worked for me.
Samsung Band Selection - Apps on Google Play
This app will help you access hidden network settings for forcing band selection
play.google.com
Select the "More network settings" option

Just use Bixby routines and create a condition or a button to trigger the change to your preferred network mode.

seems so. and besides it still requires you to go to the application and click the button. so i can instead click on settings and then connections and then im on the same screen. on huawei it was just 1 click to be on that screen

I have set up a bixby routine to switch network modes, and you can put a button on your homepage.
Settings > Advanced Features > Bixby Routines
If Start Button Tapped
Then Network mode (select what you want)
You can also make it revert when you unclick the button
Then on the home page, long press, add widget, add a bixby routine button, select the routine you just made

oae08 said:

Sure. In the "if" condition choose "start button" then choose the action to switch to the preferred network mode. After that you can set a home screen button for the routine.

Thanks guys, ok I have managed to create the scenario but I was under the impression that this button can be put in the quick toggles but I cannot find it. Where do you find the button?
I can only see it as a widget. (I am using nova launcher if it matters)
Thanks again

There are apps I have used in the past that create shortcuts to system tasks that appear as apps, however I don't know if it's compatible with Bixby Routines. Will try at lunch and see what I can find

I have found from the galaxy store the app called widget edge that would allow you to add widgets to the edge feature.
For now this solves my problem in a way. If you think of other solutions please let me know.
