I'm back!
Here to enable more stuff on your devices.
r3pwn said:
I apologize. This was kinda a rushed release and I didn't get to test it too well (at all, really). All I did was notice the key in the database, then I enabled it, saw it actually did something, then wrote this guide. Upon further investigation, it seems that the Chromecast itself needs an update (we may see this in the coming days/weeks). In the meantime, enjoy looking at the menu, knowing that the feature isn't too far away!

What is Guest Mode?
Guest mode is a new Chromecast feature that allows a device to cast to Chromecast without being on the same wifi network, but Google hasn't released it yet. That's why I'm here!
Sweet! How do I do it?
You must download "#Configurator for Root" from the Play Store and be sure your device, not your Chromecast is rooted.
After that, open #Configurator and type in these for the fields:
Code:
gms:cast:cast_nearby_device_scanner:is_enabled
true
Then hit the "Configure" button and continue to type:
Code:
com.google.android.apps.chromecast.app
Then hit the "Kill" button.
If you get no popup screen about Guest mode, be sure you have the latest Chromecast app downloaded. (Can be found at
GAppsEarly)
If it's still acting up, give me a few minutes to fix #Configurator.
I don't like root apps because they could steal my data:
Feel free to compile it yourself. The source is at: https://github.com/r3pwn/Configurator

I get home in a few hours. I'll test it then.
What could go wrong ?
Seeing as Guest Mode is unfinished software, I am wondering... what are the possible issues we could encounter by enabling it at this stage ?

For the person two comments above you, it wasn't working (Enabling worked, but it gave an error about communicating with the CC)
I am wondering if a Chromecast upgrade is needed. I guess I'll see when I get home later.
Google just approved the 1.1 update, so no more need to download the apk from Google Drive.

Yes, but you would need to reverse the flags, because they would still be there.
Enabled this, got the guest mode pop-up, cannot see chromecast anymore. What's the reverse flag?

Same thing, but change the true to false, but you'll need to change it back when the feature actually goes live.

Finished writing up the Screenshot application this evening. You must have root to use this application:
If you want to know how I did it, just read from /dev/graphics/fb0
Screenshot application:

Choose how long to wait before taking a screenshot:
Once the screenshot is taken, you will get a toast on the bottom of your screen.
You can view the screenshot and save it to your SD card (from the menu):
Download it off the Market!
Koush said:
Before we had root, it was impossible to write a screenshot application because when trying to use the ACCESS_SURFACE_FLINGER permission, you would get denied. However, now that we have it, it obviously works.
The application needs to be compiled in the Android build environment to access some of the internal classes. I started with a modified version of monkey at first (similar to how I made the screen autorotate work). I'm working on stripping out the junk now.

You rock....Keep it up!
You know you can take screenshots with ddms (included in the sdk), right? I think it works even on a stock phone (although I'm not positive).
Granted, you have to have the phone plugged into your computer to take a screenshot with ddms, where your app would be able to take one anytime. So your approach would still be useful

Yeah, thats actually how I figured out how to take screenshots: I dug through the DDMS code till I ended up at the SurfaceFlinger IPC Server.
But as you said, it is not ideal.
Awww. I was expecting to see a preview inside a preview inside a preview.. etc.

Hahha, that's actually what I had screenshotted at first, but then then I realized it looked really confusing.
Once Screenshot Application is ready it will be easy to make Application which can Record Screen activities in Video for Possibly making Video Tutorial of Softwares, OS etc.
Well done koush.

You should download Superuser off this forum. It will ask for permission whenever su is used, and also won't break applications that use su.

Sure. The C portion with the interesting bits is attached. It's pretty messy. I never bothered to clean it up after I got it working (lot of trial and error).
I've gotta optimize the pixel format conversion loop sometime. It's unnecessarily slow right now.

You have root, and no password protection on your su right? I would recommend installing Modified RC 30 v1.2 and Superuser.
Can you verify that the following file exists:
/system/bin/screenshot
Also, try running it. That is the native executable I wrote that scrapes the screen and writes screenshot.raw.

Removing the proxy setting shouldn't have any negative effect. SMS/MMS are handled via separate fields in the APN setting

Read what the message says and follow those instructions.
Attached is pictures of what you need to wipe out. May look slightly different on your phone, as mine is still on gingerbread, because i like the sense UI.
just in case clearing the proxy does break something, write down what is there before you wipe it.
Not sure about adaway, but i must say adfree is the best...
i seem to be using it for ages and never had an issue.
goto market download 'adfree' by i think tin can or something...
install it...
a pop up will come with 2 options, just choose boot normally.
it'll offer to download some new files, let it.
once its finished reboot your device & your phone will be ad free

Turns out my problem, and maybe yours, was actually that the device started in PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol). After changing it to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) in the settings, search for "Select USB Configuration", the device connected exactly like it always has.

hi guys,
first of all, i am rooted. and i have googled for so many solutions to completely remove "Software Update" from the settings
NOTE: I have disabled to get updates automatically before this pops up. it came after a few days. :S
i have tried:
- removing otacerts.zip
- removing the fota agent apk
- disabling software update via package disabler
yet i still see this nag window?
any solution from you guys would be great!
appreciate it
right now im considering to re-wipe it and then before it receives an OTA, i will delete the otacerts as well as remove the fota agent first.

Everything is possible really.. What you should do is download a terminal emulator from the Play Store and find out what the processes name is that way you can disable it yourself while in the terminal.

So I downloaded the Xperia driver. Unzipped. Do I need to do anything else to the driver software? Sorry a newbie here.

When you plug in the phone to the computer, there's probably an unknown device in Device Manager. Right click on it and choose update drivers, then select the folder you unzipped the drivers to and let Windows install it.
OK did that. It won't let me install the xz1 driver that I downloaded. Keeps telling me current driver (mtp USB) is the most current and up to date driver. Try to work around it but it keeps preventing me from installing the new driver. And if I delete the driver and unplug replug in phone it automatically installs that previous driver.
Well, I'm out of ideas, sorry I couldn't be of help.
Well I appreciate all the suggestions. I'll keep playing around. Not that important of a feature to go to all this trouble. Thanks again!
Works for me (Windows 10 Fall Creators Update on pc, xz1 compact v47.1.A.2.374)

Have you tried IFTTT or tasker? You can setup to get the location and turn wifi on or off based on that

You can also use the app "WiFi Automatic" from j4velin: works wery well. Actually i'm using this app to auto disable wifi if not connect for more than 5 minuts, leaving the auto reenable to android 8 built-in option, but you can define on or more zone (by GSM cell) for auto re-enable
