[APP][ROOT]ScreenToggle - turn off your screen (e.g. while plugged into hdmi)

Wanna turn your Screen off while watching videos over HDMI?
Or need a watchful Xoom but don´t want the screen to be on all the time?
Here´s the app you need!​
Description:
The App adds the posibility to turn off the lcd backlight to your xoom. Its nothing less then a shutdown-button for your display backlight.
The app toggles your lcd backlight to zero and back, said doesn´t just overlay your screen with black, like the other apps inside the market.
it turns off your screen light completly , but the screen stays responsible and the devices stays awake.
Use it instead of locking your xoom, if you need your device itself to be active but dont need the display to be on, e.g. while you´re watching videos over hdmi, use your xoom as a vnc server or something like that.

Use this awesome little App with some "starter app" of your choice.
For example, use the Shaking Shortcurt App, register ToggleScreenXoom.apk and you could turn your screen on/off with just shaking your device.
(tested on xoom [email protected] but should work on every rooted xoom)

DUDE. That's what I've been searching for, don't know how I didn't find it, trying this tonight! Will update back with my results...
Update: Perfect solution. Works great, thanks!

App attached to first post!

does it work on xoom2?
Hello!
Fanstastic app.
Does it work on xoom2? with 3.2.2 rooted?

I used the old method that this thread started as, using market apps. Unfortunately it doesn't work with the Cornerstone version of the Eos roms. What exactly is app? Can you provide more detail? I don't just download apps to try them without some type of info...

I use the current method on cornerstone #16.

Cool, thanks, basically the same thing I have now with different apps. It's SwipePad that isn't working right with Cornerstone, I'll play around later. Thanks again for this...

"Basically" the same as the old method, right. Just in one app without the need of configuration and with more flexibility to be launched by other apps.
Maybe you´ll try "Shaking Shortcurt". A nice app that lets you launch two other apps by shaking your xoom.

Yeah, think I'll try that instead of SwipePad. Since Swipepad rely's on the borders of the screen and Cornerstone alters the borders, I'm guessing that's the issue. Maybe the Shaking app won't have that issue.
Thanks again for the clarification, and the thread. I really can't believe this thread hasn't blown up!

Please excuse my ignorance but, how would I go about installing this??

i dont understand your question.
just install the app and execute to turn off your screen and again (remember the position) to turn it back on.
or use a starter app like "Shaking Shortcut" to toggle the screen on and off by shaking your xoom.

Lol, sorry, haven't installed apps that i downloaded from a site before, only from the play store where everything gets taken care of for me, I had meant how to install this so that I could use it but i figured it out. Thank you very much, it works great.

NO!!! don't flash in recovery, i say that, mainly cause I don't know what it will do... you can install the app while ics is running, I think I used astro but can't remember. What you just asked was the same thing I had wondered.

You´re right. Thanks for the correction.
First post is edited to get it straight.

Does this only work on the xoom? I have an acer 510 and I want something like this. It sounds like this gets launched in conjunction with whatever app you launch. I'd rather that while on hdmi the tablet display is off entirely. Or maybe this does that as well.
So is this specific to the xoom?

According to the readme provided in the zip file this application seems to be specific for the Xoom, or at least a few tegra 2 tablets.

That's disappointing. Why would manufacturer's assume that a user wants the display to stay on while using hdmi?! How about a sane default like leave hdmi output on and turn off tablet display after the normal inactivity duration. But allow a keyboard/mouse not to be recognized as tablet activity.
Could this be modified to work with more devices? Or say newer tegra 3 devices if it's chipset specific. But really, ics should have some application layer to control things like hdmi res, screen active etc...

Nice! Works in AOKP
First of all, this is a great app, and it works well in AOKP (build 37).
To trigger the app, I set my "home" softkey on my xoom (in Rom Control) to trigger the app when the key is held. Even though you can't see the softkeys when on hdmi, after a while, its exact location is easy to recall.
It is really convenient. Thanks for the much needed addition to a great device.

[APP] [ROOT REQUIRED] Chromecast mirroring (screencasting) works!

The Chromecast only allows certain devices to use it's new mirroring functions. The OPO is apparently not on that list. But, thanks to this handy app, the Chromecast will now recognize my OPO and allow for full mirroring!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193
- Install the app and open it.
- Enable "Mirror Status:" and enable "QuickSettings Mirror:"
- Either open the chromecast app, and find mirroring in the left panel, or
- Pull down into your quick settings and see the icon for "cast screen"
There is a small bit of lag, which would mean some games that require split second timing would be hard to play on the big screen, but others work fine, like FIFA 14 for example. Any video site (that doesn't already support Chromecast) will work perfectly as well.

i try this but there is no audio out from my oneplus one only from youtube

Will this make my chromecast work as miracast that allow screen mirroring?

A little easier way (for some)

I found a little write up that makes it a lot easier and more stable. First download root explorer go to system folder then build prop. Find
ro.product.device=A0001 and change A0001 to hammerhead and save changes. Now go to settings / display and under cast screen option your chrome cast will now appear then click on it. Now once WiFi on and you pull down quick settings you will see cast option appear.

That happened to me once when I was kind of away from the TV or when I thoroughly covered back of my phone. So I assume that would be because of weak Wi-Fi Direct connection between devices. Also, I noticed increase in delays and some jitter in video. So this surely seems like connectivity issue.
May be trying without a case or with WiFi antena area open/unblocked should reflect the improvement.

Xposed module for AA

Hi,
I only like to start a thread about the development of an Xposed module for tweak AA.
Someone is interested on it?
Reagards!

Oh yes - I would be very interested. I just have to wait for another 1-2 months until my car (A4) with AA/CarPlay support will be delivered.

Unfortunately I am not a developer but I'd be one of your first supporters and I will gladly test anything you guys develop .
Since Android Auto has a lot of limitations, an exposed module would be the best way to get rid of them.

Not a lot of replies. Looks like there are still not enough people who have Android Auto . We'll have to wait until it catches on I guess.

yes - I think so, too. But I am also still hoping, that manos78 will start the development anyway

Absolutely. For example here maps for Android Auto would be awesome

would also love to see some android auto mods

Me too !
Let me know if I can help by anyway

I'm interested.

I've got a Pioneer AVH-4200NEX on the way, so I'll be looking at doing some Xposed work, depending on what functionality is missing. Not everything can be done via Xposed (like making Waze work over AA), but it would be good to get an idea of what sort of additional functionality people are looking for on the AA platform.

Hey, it would be great to get rid of the limitation of only viewing few entries in a list when scrolling... I believe this is tracked via GPS, so it would be great to feedback a velocity of 0 to this process only.

Is there an error message shown when you've hit this limitation? I've found "Unlimited browsing is disabled because car is not parked." in the AA apk, but I'm not sure if that's the proper verbiage when it's limiting listview scrolling.

Yes. If you've reached the tap limit you'll get a "you cannot continue browsing unless you're parked" message.

I still have my NEX on my workbench, so I can test this out later tonight. I believe it's in the AA SDK, so that individual apps don't have to determine if the vehicle is in motion or not. Shouldn't be too hard to work around.

Here's a request:
Would like to manage what apps show up on Android Auto (headunit)
For example, sideloaded apps currently do not show up

Enable New Dark Mode setting for Google Phone (it's beta, but usable) - Root required

Hey everyone, I did a search and didn't see a quick guide posted about this so I thought I would write one up with some pictures real quick.
Pre How To Notes:
* the usual I am not responsible for your device, if you mess it up its on you etc etc. Make a back up or have an apk ready.
* I have only tested this on the v30= but im sure it will work on all devices running Google Dialer Beta 24.0.214850721 ( https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...gle-phone-24-0-214850721-release/#description ). I am part of the Dialer beta and was not pushed the beta 24 release, so I had to manually update it to this one. The needed setting do not exist in beta 23.
* I am using the following 3 Magisk modules - Google Dialer and Contacts for OP5 and/5T - Android 0 Apt x libraries - Pixel Experience. These may or may not effect anyones ability to enable these features, but since I am going to post and run I figured it was easier to say such now than find out tomorrow that noone could replicate it and this is the reason why.
* I just saw @syndre post a magisk module for the dialer and contacts that is version 24. May or may not work with that, and maybe if you all ask super nice he will make a second magisk module that has dark mode enabled since I have never made a magisk module and wouldnt know where to start.
* You must have "Preferences Manager" installed from the play store (or wherever i guess) in order to do this. ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.simon.marquis.preferencesmanager&hl=en_US )
Ok so its fairly simple.
How To enable Dark Mode on Android Dialer
1) Open Preferences Manager (make sure it has root priv) scroll down to "Phone" app and select it.
2) Scroll over to dialer_phenotype_flags.xml and find the setting G__enable_dark_mode_setting and switch it from "false" to true
3) Now find com.google.android.dialer_preferences.xml and find the setting for display_options_dark_mode and switch that one from 'false' to "true".
4) Close out, force stop google dialer, reopen the dialer.
5) Go to dialer Settings, and select Display, then check Dark Mode - Enable.
Boom, you're done. Its a little buggy but it works and I havent had any issues.
Let me know if you have any questions

:good:I just replaced dialer in Pie with the modified version!! Dark theme is awesome at night, Thank you!! :highfive:

the extra app isn't urgently needed for editing the xml files these files are stored in
/data/data/com.google.android.dialer/shared_prefs
and can be edited with a simple text editor capable of root rights.
thanks for finding and sharing :good: merci

No problem and Thank you @seadersn .
I was originally going to get into a whole additional paragraph or two of alternative methods to enable the necessary flags but decided to just use Preferences Manager as the example because it seemed like the most foolproof and easiest way for any level of user to accomplish the necessary steps.
And I figured that anyone with more advanced capabilities would spot what was being done overall and could accomplish the changes however they were most comfortable performing them (your post of course being a prime example of it accomplishing just that)

Just taking a quick look it looks like those files have too much personal information in them for me to just straight-up replace them completely with a module. I think that one line of the preferences file needs to be edited by hand somehow by anyone this right now until the implemented fully. I changed the one line showing in the screenshot and notice there was a toggle switch in the dialer app now, switching that makes it look like the third screenshot. I can't use it like that, lol

Can't get this working on my rooted lg v30. When I open preferences manager I have to show system apps to see Google phone. Then I have to scroll right to find data_rollout_dark_mode and set to true. Then scroll right again to display_options_dark_mode and set it to true. Force close app and no option for dark mode in display options when I open it.

I kept picking at it, and eventually edited the correct strings. I've got working dark mode.

the new v25 magisk module containing newest dialer version does indeed look good with dark mode just tried it again, it looks much more better than in the last version. i think next version will contain it officially, there's a new "__data_rollout__DarkMode.EnableDarkModeRollout__launched__" bool.

Question Dark mode

Hello there, I recently purchased a OP10P (N2215) and I have some questions about the dark mode feature. Quick background info: visually impaired and damn near impossible to look at much less read black text on white background.
I am coming from a OP8 where it was possible to selectively choose specific apps that were forced into a dark theme. I have not noticed that feature on the OP10P. Is there a way to get the same functionality from a root/non root app?
Edit: already turned on override force-dark in developer settings and some apps still show in normal and not dark mode friendly theme.

Bump. I really need some help. Anything that could potentially help would be appreciated
appreciated

You could enable dev settings and force darkmode on all apps

I already mentioned that I did that. There are still some apps that show in normal theme even with that on.

If you are rooted darq still works per app selectable. Search for it on xda

Unfortunately I am not rooted. I've looked Into darq already as I had used it on a Huawei phone I once had. Remember reading an article on how it doesn't work properly on Android 12.
Also not to mention the app itself loads in normal theme. I know there is a way to use non-rooted as well but the issue is setting it up ‍
I appreciate the suggestion though

I also use substratum themes. So that's also something you should check out. Also if the app has the dark option in the settings of the app you should use that instead of the dark mode. If the app doesn't support dark mode in it's code it won't work to use darq (ex Uber). You will need a sub theme.
