Hey y'all
I tried out Quickmenu but uninstalled it because it was rather buggy. It would sometimes be there, sometimes not. It replaced the HTC taskmanger and removed the icon on the home page.
After removing quickmenu, HTC TM didnt show up again. I checked the Task Manager settings and the Enable quick menu - checked. So I reinstalled HTC Task Manager and still nothing.
Any suggestions?
reinstall quick menu and uncheck everything in options and then close and uninstal
Try going to HKCU\Software\TaskManager with total commander, and change the value for "enableQmenu" from 0 to 1.
There are options under both the General and View tab in QM that over-ride the task manager settings. They are the q-menu and "press-ok" options.
You might need to reinstall QM, then disable the options and try again.
use showcase, WAY easier to use and much better looking too.

I recently rooted my Samsung Captivate using SuperOneClick 1.9.1. The only things I have done since rooting the device is allow sideloading (by editing settings.db with SQLite Editor), so I can install apps from Amazon Appstore and used Titanium Backup to delete bloatware.
I noticed that when I installed SwiftKey that I would click 'Enable Swiftkey' and then click on Swiftkey settings only to be told that I need to enable swiftkey in order to change the settings. I thought it was a problem with swiftkey.
However, I then noticed that the phone kept reverting to USB Debugging Mode and only after three attempts was I able to disable USB debugging and mount my drive. I finally figured out that it's a problem with changing settings; can anybody tell me how to fix this? Thanks.
Super one click 1.whatever has the option to enable side-loading ( 2nd tab! ) so you really waisted some time on that one!
if you are running a custom rom, they are made to keep debugging on, it doesnt stop you from doing anything.
to enable swift key:
menu button > settings > locale and text > check swiftkey to enable.
ive never used swiftkey but that is how all other keyboards go....
all else fails install a custom rom / pre-rooted, crap removed, extra options, side loading tethering ect...
More info
The problem isn't just SwiftKey or USB debugging. All settings on the phone are screwed up. I hold down the power button and bring up the options:
Data Network Mode: I restarted the phone and 3g was enabled. I clicked on the data network mode and disabled it. But now it's always off, yet it says it's activated (and I can't set it to deactivated)
Airplane Mode: I can't put the phone in airplane mode, nor can I do this from the settings menu
Sound: This works fine
On the Power Control Widget:
Brightness: I can change brightness, but the icon stays the same
Sync: This button works fine
GPS: This button is not responding
Bluetooth: n/a (the button lights up, but I don't have bluetooth)
Wifi: n/a (the button lights up, but I don't have wifi nearby)
The settings menu:
I know that Swiftkey and USB debugging are giving me problems
As for the custom ROM, I was having problems with the the signature error on 2.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051197)
I'm going to try out the advise from that thread and see if I can resolve this with a custom ROM. Normally I'd say this is "throwing out the baby with the bath water," but I'm excited about putting a custom ROM on my phone for performance reasons.
If there is another solution, I'd like to know about it because I want to be a little more adept before installing a ROM on my phone. Thanks.
I was going to install Serendipity 6.4. Do you have another MOD that you would recommend?

Apparently interacting with certain settings adds them to the Quick Settings screen.
Which can be okay: I went into the "tethering & portable hotspot" setting and turned on hotspot to see if it worked. (Worked!) Then I noticed a new hotspot toggle on my quick settings. Fine. Maybe useful.
BUT... then I selected and turned on "color inversion" from the accessibility settings section. Woah. Trippy. But probably won't ever need to do that again. Except when I swipe down from the top to bring up the quick settings, I now have a "color inversion" quick setting toggle taking up valuable space and cluttering up the page.
Any thoughts on this -- specifically how to get rid of the unwanted toggle?
Just saw this -- https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6111329?hl=en"]https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6111329?hl=en -- hoping that means it will eventually remove itself from quick settings.
Dear Tasker-Masters,
My goal:
I want to limit the use of certain apps on my son's phone (running CM12.1) using tasker. Some apps (basically games) are time-limited, others shall not be accessible at all.
What I did (apart from deactivating the guest account):
I've defined a profile "No access" that activates when certain apps start (including play store and settings). This profile starts a task calling for a lock screen asking for a code. Locking settings is especially needed to deactivate the option to developer options and root access, access to other appstores, or the device admin section.
What my son did:
He found out, that the locked app appears in the app history. Clicking the locked app in the history immediatly brings up the lockscreen. However, there's a tiny time frame of maybe 0.1 seconds, where the locked app reacts to strokes on the display. This way, it's possible to scroll down the "setting" app until you get to the "security" and "device admin" section, and then to disable tasker from there. Now, profiles cannot read or react to whatever appears in the foreground of the display.
My question:
1. Can you think about a secure way to lock access to android settings? How would that be?
2. is it possible to deactivate the appearence of (only!) the android settings in the app history?
1. Create a profile -> Application -> Settings. This will trigger when someone goes into the settings app (yes even settings its an app).
In the task itself you can just "Go Home".
The task will trigger even if he goes to the settings from the recent app screen.
2. If your phone is rooted then just kill the settings app from running.
If not use AutoInput to press that "kill all" button (unfortunately).
Make sure also that tasker is a device administrator. You don't want your son to "accidentally" uninstall it.
You can't uninstall device admin apps without turning off that setting and he cant go into settings.
I hope these guidelines will help you.
Hi,
I have unlocked a developer options by clicking 7 times firmware compilation number. Than a go to developer option to check what can I change in my phone. When I was scrolling down I've notice that some of options were ON. Than I decide to change nothing. When I press slider at the top to set OFF and hide developer options some of option before set as ON goes OFF. My question is: if by clicking OFF at the top of developer options all setting back to default? If yes. why some of that was set ON when I unlocked developer options at first?
Well some options are on by default, like the automatic update... the default would be on, regardless for developers options turned on or off. Once in developer mode, some developers would like to freeze these updates while working/developing for the phone, hence you have the option now to turn it off in developer mode. Same for the wifi data option thing.
How to bring them back to default? Or maybe some of you can post screenshots with default developer options like it was fabric. Thank you.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just turn developer options off.
If you turn off developer options, the menu vanishes as well.
This will also reset the settings.
You can bring it back the usual way, which will turn it on again.
