Odd clock behavior - Moto X Q&A

I have used my moto x as a droid pod so i have no cellular connection and my home wifi is screwy so i can't set automatic time and rely on it. The time doesn't set itself when using automatic options. which is fine with me i can just do it manually no problem, right?
Wrong, i haven't really discovered a pattern yet but it seems that every time i reboot my clock sets itself ahead 1h 3m. i think after a series of reboots its totally wrong now. my time currently is 9:50pm and the clock on the phone is 2:58am. the clock in recovery is in synce with the os time but it also skips ahead with reboots i think as i said i really havent determined a clear pattern among issue
any advice? build.prop edit? i did my first edit this evening and it made me feel like a fricken genius so im cool with that but i doubt that there is anything wrong with build.prop. my OS is heavily modified with exposed framework using Xblast and/or gravity box. any help appreciated and will be thanked therefore.

Help JIT

I'm using damage control and I used his JIT thing cause people on here talk about it a lot and it said disable sense.. So I'm guessing that meant don't check it? Now my phone keeps re booting. How can i fix this.. I didn't nandriod back up so is there a easy way to do it by just remaining or something? Thanks

You're gonna have to go to an older nandroid. Sense and JIT just don't play well.
What you should have done is checked "Sense Apps" in the "Banned Apps" screen.
Keep in mind that any sense widget, like the HTC clock, and I think the rosie will stop working.

Rosie= sense ui
And yes everything htc will not work, wallpapers will give you problems, htc lockscreen gives you problems and every widget connected to sense.
You will need to make sure they are banned in dconfig before you enable jit and reboot.
I know im just restating somethings but im just putting it all in one spot. Making it clear lol

you could manually pull the required files. not sure what they are, but you can manually edit the DConf file that lists banned programs, etc.
Funny you guys talking about this i just went from the new fresh rom not toast to damage because i tried to get jit to work on the most recent fresh and my phone went in a boot loop after trying to install JIT on it. It works fine for the new damage control tho... even though i manually installed it and didnt know dc config had the option for it all along otherwise this phone is runnin like a crackhead who stole my car radio.

I did this by accident too ... and during the force close SenseUI loop, it let me get to dconfig (after like 15 force closes) really quickly and uncheck JIT.
Don't swipe the lock screen while JIT + SenseUI enabled either, use Menu, it's more responsive.

[APP] Auto shutdown app

I am working on an application which will shut down my sons media player only captivate at a specific time. I have it working but am not particularly good at drawing or coming up with good ideas for an icon for it.
Does anybody have any ideas?
AutoShutdown.apk
FYI I built it for 2.2 but tested it on 2.3 (my captivate) and it requires root access (it essentially creates a service that at a specific time calls "reboot -p".
Update Info:
1.10 Changed to using an Alarm.
1.5 Moved the Save button to the bottom.
1.4 Revamped to use a Handler instead of a thread thus reducing the overhead because I am not checking the time every 45 seconds, I just delay the shutdown for however many milliseconds it would take to get to the requested time.
1.3 Fixed the not shutting down issue (at least under 2.3, I will test on 2.2 tonight). Added alpha channel to the icon.
1.2 Added simple icon
1.1 Added an Enabled checkbox. Setting the shown time to the last time entered. Fixed killing the old thread.
1.0 Basically worked with whatever the last time you entered
Well this worked in testing via the debugger but for some reason my sons phone isn't turning off...
1.3 fixes this problem. I was being a bit too aggressive on waiting for a thread to end.
I have found that 2.2's reboot command does not accept the -p parameter which means that this will not work. If some one has another method I would be more than happy to add it in.
Only tested to work on 2.3, primarily under Fusion XII. Its been working fine for me.
very cool idea., any idea if it'll work on ICS?
No clue since i don't have a device with ICS.
can i use in motorola milestone or other device ?

That would be neat. My wife made that one up pretty quickly.
I have just verified that the code still works under Android 4.2.2.
cron4phone app, free on google play, does same, and also lets you vary schedule by day, etc, and schedule many other tasks as well. you do need root for it to work.
Good to know. I had originally made it for my sons phone.
Hello kevria,
Are you still working on this project? I have a couple of suggestions.

I havent been but I still have the source code so could modify it as needed. I also havent had a reason to use this since my son's android device died.
My condolences
Well, I can't find a countdown shutdown app anywhere, was wondering if you could make do so.
Not on a specific time, but like 1 Hour or 10 minutes count down.
Hope you will be interested :fingers-crossed:
I will see if I can get the source to build and make the change. Im pretty sure I had it calculating out the amount of time from now until the shutdown time so it should be simple to modify the code.
The app isnt building due to a xml error that I will have to track down when I have time. You could use the app as is and figure out what 1.5 hours from now is...
Hello try creating a shortcut on your home screen, go to the application manager.
I have lost the source code to this app so I won't be able to make any changes.

[HOW TO] - Enable CRT animation in Jelly Bean on the N7

Noticed none of the current builds have the CRT animation enabled, thought I'd share how to turn it on. Please note that it is at times a bit buggy. For me it works about 8 out of 10 times.
What it is:
Note: 1 - This will work on any device and on any version of Android back to GB. (Obviously the Nexus specific tools wont work on anything other than the Nexus)
Note 2 - You will have to redo this every time you update your rom.
Here's the quick rundown -
First, you'll have to pull the framework-res.apk from your tablet.
This can be done via adb, but the easiest way would be to either use WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit or mskips Google Nexus 7 TOOLKIT.
When asked what file to pull, type in "/system/framework/framework-res.apk" (without quotes)
Once you have that pulled, install this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432152
Follow the directions on how to use it in the thread.
Once you have decompiled the apk, you'll want to edit the "files-to-edit\framework-res.apk\res\values\bools.xml" file.
The value you want to change in the bools value is the "<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">true</bool>" change "true" to "false". I reccommend downloading Notepad++ to edit.
Make sure you save it. Once saved, recompile the apk using the tool you install, then create an update zip (I renamed mine to crtanimation.zip for ease).
Reboot into recovery, flash the zip, clear cache, reboot.
Tada!

They most likely don't know what CRT animation is, NOT why they might want to make changes to the system.
Nothing in the OP provides a hint as to what that is or what it does. To be honest, I'm not sure I know what it is. A quick search shows that it is enabled in a lot of ROMs but not what it actually is or does.

If you don't know what it is then you obviously haven't flashed many roms and therefore should probably not even attempt this...
Thanks OP and sry for the ungrateful ones here.
updated OP with a demo vid
I guess the CRT animation is more obscure than I thought.
Okay... I get it... It enables animation effects when turning the device off, rather than just blanking the screen.
I get the same effect turning on and off with
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.soulfulz.android.turnoffscreen
You can select from a number of effects, sounds for both when the device is turned on and off via the button. You have to hit the button for it to do it, but for the risk of modifying system files, this is easy and safe to do.

Except your solution is wakelock city on top of having to enable it as a device administrator. Sounds like you also have to hit the shortcut or use the app itself to get the desired effect versus it being naturally accomplished when hitting the power button/screen timeout. And if it doesn't work in ICS, not sure it will work on JB.

I'm sorry if people are unable to follow direction, but honestly that's not my problem.
If they mess it up, it wont brick, and if it does, all they have to do is dirty flash their rom and it's fixed.
I asked the question "Why" because it seems a lot of trouble just to see your device (N7, in this case) turn off. I've done a great deal of modding to my ICS devices, but haven't really found much reason to mod a JB device. I know there are tons of boot animations which make your device really different when turned on, but having CRT just for turning off your device seems a waste of time.
Of course, this is only my opinion and I'm glad you figured out how to do this, but I still don't understand why!

Widget Menu Not Refreshing

There have beth two apps I've installed lately who's widgets have not shown up in the widget menu immediately after installation. With the Chronus clock it took a while before it showed up as a selectable option. It showed up on the lock screen widget menu, but not the home screen one. The other was a photo frame widget. Has anyone else had this happen or know of a fix? It's super annoying.

Don't know. I accepted the Kit Kat OTA less than 24 hours after activating my Moto X. Wasn't until after that I tried adding new widgets. They will eventually appear without a reboot but I have not determined the amount of time it takes or if it's some kind of event or action that makes the Widget menu refresh. Really irritated about this.

Okay... I may have found a possible fix. I enabled ART in Developer options => Select runtime. After letting the process of app optimization to finish, it seems that my widget menu now refreshes immediately, as it should. At least it worked immediately when I downloaded the Yahoo! Weather app... maybe just a fluke but I'll take it. After the first reboot I immediately opened every app I use on a daily basis and everything opened snappily and I got no force closes. I even opened Pandora (I had heard a lot of people having compatibility issues with ART) and it started up just fine and played a song all the way through without a skip, hiccup or error. Only time and experimentation will tell if this is truly a fix to the problem, so I'd really like to hear if it works for you too. Cheers!

Substratum?

Hey all,
First off, I'm a newbie. Sorry if I offend the order around here, or anything!
So I am a long-time lover of substratum, and was looking forward to theming 9.0 on this Razer phone 2... But I've tried my damnedest since I got it back in early March, and from where I am now, it appears it's hopeless. Anybody gotten Subs working? I'm running mr0, magisk fully updated, trying to apply swift dark. (And yes, the magisk module installed properly for Subs), and I even get no error codes (in fact, the app claims everything's working), but no themes appear under the 'manage' tab. Halp!
Razer Phone 1 & 2 can only use themes signed with the system key thru Razer Theme store. It's coded in framework-res.apk to verify if I remember correctly. Someone might be able to remove the code check and make a install zip for TWRP that can be used with the deodexed ROM here.

Ok so update! Using both swift dark and swift black results in the same 2 issues=
-notifications almost go black, but are instead a light light gray on swift dark (making the white text hard to read) and go dark gray on swift black. I've never used swift black prior to tonight, so maybe I've just never seen how dark swift black does it's notifications, and am thus ignorant! For this issue, I double and triple checked I had both Android system & system ui themed, reboot, enable, reboot. To no avail.
I also noticed with both theme packs that the play store doesn't theme at all, but that when viewing an app's page, the title text is white (and thus invisible).
This is just a heads up for those of us working with this now. I'm gonna let the devs know and see if they have any advice or are able to bugfix. Thanks again guys -- play music is buttery black!
Just to clarify...

In order to get Substratum working is the custom ROM https://forum.xda-developers.com/razer-phone-2/development/rom-mr1-stock-deodexed-zipalign-t3916502 required or can a stock MR1 rooted ROM be used using the method described here https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-smali-patcher-0-7-t3680053
Thanks in advance,

So I've been running subs for a little while through both methods, so either works. Both methods produce the same result, but I've found that the ROM has some minor bugs that can be obstructive at their worst. EG, every now and then my taps register as long holds (for example, on my keyboard I'll look up and see a bunch of jumbles of symbols instead of the words I tried to type)
But regardless, both methods fail to get the system themed. They try, but notifications are unreadable, and the theme color of the quick settings panels doesn't change from the Razer green.
tl'dr, I'd stick with the smali patcher method, as the ROM has some quirks that can make it a hassle to use as a daily driver.

Thanks for the response..
Just to followup regarding the smaili method, do I generate the signature for the Substratum install apk or the theme or both. Once the zip is generated then I install using TWRP? Just not really clear what needs the signature and what order things should be installed.
Thanks,

Generate the module zip for your phone. Copy it over and install with Magisk. As for theming, it's seems that the systemui overlay is the issue. Any theme that I install just seems to combine with the systemui one instead of replacing it, causing notifications and certain other areas like parts of setting menus to be unreadable. If we could disable systemui's theming, I think we could get somewhere.

What quirks have you noticed? I don't see anyone in that thread mentioning issues.
