PTT remap question on AT&T tilt

I use the PTT remap and it works like a champ great little proggy.
Short press - toady screen long press HTC Action screen.
Though nice I'd like to have either "Backlight" or even "Full brightness backlight" on button 6. any chance to do this? I'm not afraid hacking the reg.

Yes, go into the Windows folder and find the app called Backlight.exe. make a shortcut to it and move that shortcut into the Windows > Start Menu > Programs folder. Then go to the buttons option and change the PTT button to fire up the Backlight shortcut. I don't use the regular Buttons option to do this with mine, I use AE Button Plus, but it should work the same way.

I almost went that far already BUT is there an option to set the default and/or adjust backlight setting to full brightness?

Here's a great utility I found yesterday after searching for "backlight" on here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413137&highlight=backlight
The shortcut I use is \Program files\bl\bl02.exe 0 4 9 Press PTT once it is off, press again and it is about medium, press again and it's on full. You can change it to \Program files\bl\bl02.exe 1 9 and it would go from dim or bright each time you press it. I'm not sure how many arguments you can pass, but people have been able to use 5 with no troubles.

Isn't there an easier way to change sound profile?

When changing sound profile I have to go to Settings - Sound - and choose my profile. The "old" HTC Home had a profile tab. Isn't there an easier/faster way to change sound profile?

Do you mean like click the volume up\down button on the left of the phone and select silent, vibrate or change the volume?

Even easier

Go to Start->Settings->System->Long Press End Key->choose: Set Vibrate/Ringer
Nothing easier possible, but the "Shaking" method explained elsewhere here.
Enjoy,

Do a prolonged bottom right key press and a menu will come up with one of the options being vibrate mode or ringer mode (it is a toggle).
You can also set it such that the prolonged key press toggles the two modes, rather than bring up the menu.

Miui tips and tricks

Hey all,
I just ran into this site and being a new user of Miui, it totally blew my mind.
Now I know that most of these could be found on the miui forums but for the new guys/gals here you are
This was totally brought to you but http://www.maketecheasier.com
http://maketecheasier.com/17-hidden-tips-and-tricks-for-miui/2011/05/15
1. Long press on the icon in Toggles to launch the settings for that icon.
When you pull down the notification bar, you will see the Toggle settings for plenty of options (such as WIFI, volume, backlight etc). Long press on any icon in the Toggle mode will launch the setting for that icon.
2. Built-in Screen Capture function
One of the lacking feature in Android is the lack of a built-in screen capture feature (like in iPhone). Not anymore. With MIUI, you can press the “Menu” key and “Volume Down” key at the same time to capture a screenshot. The printed image is saved in the “MIUI: directory in the sd card.
3. Press Home key to preview screens
Pressing the Home button once will bring you back to the Home screen. Pressing the Home button button will show you all the screen thumbnails. You can also ad/remove screens from here.

4. Slide from left to right to quickly delete a message or a call log.
In the SMS or Dialer app, swipe left or right any entry will bring up the Delete mode.
5. Move home screen icon easily
Hold down an icon by one hand to enter Edit Mode, and then use the other hand to slide the screen to move the icon to the target screen.
6. Launch Music Player in lockscreen
In the lockscreen, double tap the time zone to launch the Music Player. (The Music Player is hidden by default, unless a song is playing)

11. Switch the Battery UI to show percentage
The default battery UI can be switched to display percentage of left battery capacity. To do so, go to “Settings -> System -> Battery Settings -> Battery Indicator Style -> Percentage“.
12. Long press on the Home button to show History
Like any other Android ROM, long press on the Home button will show the recently used apps. However, in MIUI, there is also an App Killer and App Manager button. Swiping the popup left will show the search form.
13. Setting up IP dialing
If you need to add an IP prefix for a particular number in a strange land, you can set it in Settings -> Common -> Calls Settings. Turn the “Auto IP dialing” ON and set the IP prefix and current area code.
14. Send SMS for rejected calls
When you are not available to answer the phone, you may slide up the panel to reject the call and to send a message to the caller at the same time.
15. Enable 720P to record a video
If your phone comes with a camera that support HD recording, you can enable 720P in the Video mode. Run the Camera app and switch to Video. Select “High” -> “720P” in the pop-up menu of video quality.
16. Quickly uninstall an app
To uninstall an app, simply press and hold the icon until the trash bin show up at the top of the screen. Move the icon to the trash bin to uninstall the app.
17. Quickly read SMS and mark it read
In the lockscreen, press down the SMS button (without dragging it down) to reveal the new incoming message on the lockscreen. Once you have finished reading it, double tap on the SMS button to mark it read.
The above is all the hidden tips and tricks I know about MIUI. What else have I left out?

Use of Convenience key as Mute Switch / button / key timed

Experience sharing on another way (Timed) of using Convenience key as Mute Switch
Prerequisites
(i) Button Mapper https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton
(ii) SilentTime apk (attached)
(iii) Convenience Key is free from configurations (if not free Go to Settings > Convenience Key > tap Clear)
(Iv) Blackberry ketone with Android v7.1.1 (method may work on other versions)
1) Installed SilentTime app , now opened Silent Time Setter (It forms two icons at the app drawer SilentTime and Silent Time Setter) and set the required duration (30 min or 1 hr or 2 hr etc) to keep the phone in silence once it got activated, select vibrate or silent mode , finally click on Set
2) Opened Button Mapper application > Add Buttons > tap / touch the + (Plus) Icon > press the convenience key, it will detect the convenience key and provide entry as PP_SHORT_TOUCH 284
(accessibility option enabled for Button Mapper, Settings > accessibility > Button mapper > enable)
3) Touch / tap on PP_SHORT_TOUCH 284 to Customize the key> set "Long press" > Now from the top selected option "Applications" > further selected SilentTime” from list of applications
[Post requisites: ( I have done but may not be required)
(I) Do not disturb override permissions at Notification access given to both Button mapper and SilentTime (Settings > Notification > Do not disturb override enable for both these apps)
(II) Automatic start permissions given to both Button mapper and SilentTime
(App drawer > Power Center >manage automatic apps > enable both these apps)
(IiI) exemption from power optimization given to both Button mapper and SilentTime (App drawer > Power Center > turn on battery optimisationall apps > enable for both these apps)l]
Now press power button and conveyance button simultaneously to mute to timed duration or unmute alternatively even while the phone in deep sleep.
Note: Convenience Key can also be configured to open the SilentTime from built in facility but it is unable to act without unlocking the phone , however if we unlock, we have many options, no longer convenience key is required.
Acknowledgement: This was my long back idea but it got a realization as got introduced to Button Mapper App from writing of Mr Glen L- Thanks.
Caution: This is only experience sharing, without any responsibility, user has to take care that the convenience key is not long pressed unintentionally while phone is in wake up state or simultaneous pressing of power key and conveyance key while the phone is in deep sleep , otherwise it may lead to not responding to a phone communication during the set period and its relevant consequences. Further one more limitation with this app is that if the phone is restarted in mute condition it shall not unmute even after expiry of set duration.
My idea is that Blackberry should have provided a configurable timed mute key / button in a recession so that it cannot be pressed unintentionally in future phones (many of apple / oneplus one users forget slide back the switch to unmute)
New finding on 12.02.19 : the same can be achieved differently by with the conveyance button's built in configuration method (Settings > conveyance key > shortcuts >open app > SilentTime ) . However we have to press first power key, then conveyance key to enable timed mute or unmute alternatively (but we have to disable customise option of Button Mapper App (Button Mapper > Add button > PP_SHORT_TOUCH 284 > put off customise) or uninstall Button Mapper

[Ask] Create or add volume keys on navigation bar ?

hello
I want to add volume buttons on navigation bar for my handy daughter.
for ex:
volume (-) on left
classic navbar buttons (on center)
volume (+) on right
(She have a Teclast T30 with Android 9)
I try custom navigation bar app but it have some issues (buttons disappearing when rotate)
I try systemui tuner but no navigation bar entries
So for now, i want to try with tasker but i'm a noob
Can somebody help me to create this profil ?
thx for all

Nobody to help me ?

Let me start by saying that if you have zero experience with Tasker, please help yourself by working through some beginner tutorials found in excess online.
You will need to decide what type of profile should trigger the task containing the following actions. Maybe when specific apps are launched (video, music, ...). Or maybe you want them displayed always which means an "on boot" event. Or something else
This is straightforward using the built in "settings -> custom setting" action. If the device is not rooted, you will need to give write secure settings permissions to tasker through ADB.
Reference the "Using Shell Commands" section (scroll down pretty far) of How to Add Left/Right Keyboard Cursors to the Nav Bar during Text Input post.
It's very similar except instead of using the keycodes for left and right cursor movement (21, 22), we're using the keycodes for volume up and volume down (24,25).
We are also using volume up/down icons instead of left/right. The link to the website to get the icons is on that same page, in the same section. The links to the pages containing the 64x64 icons I used are: Volume Up and Volume Down.
And most importantly, instead of using a run shell command action, we're taking advantage of the relatively new custom setting action. As described above, you don't need a rooted device for this as long as you give the permissions through ADB.
I created a folder under the Tasker folder called "NavIcons" to hold icons for tasks like this. You may need to try different icon sizes to find a size that suits your device.
There is a nice summary of keycodes here.

A1: Custom Setting [
