A few odd discoveries I've made

Most of what I've found isn't odd, or even new, but it's interesting to me.
1. My Nook is able to ignore my school's proxy servers. With all of the computers in here, whether I'm using the XP on them or a bootable USB, I need to configure it to use the proxy server. I don't know why my Nook is able to get past it without me having to enter anything, but I kind of like it.
2. If the Nook is in landscape orientation and I tell it to shut down, the shutdown image is rotated and there are black borders around it. Also, the same thing applies to the screen saver.
3. Several times when I go to do something, it just reboots, but when it does it's about 20% faster than normal. When it pulls back up, the screen saver is still the same as it was before, not the normal Authors background that I get when I shut it down normally and boot it back up.
[I'll add more as I remember then]

I haven't been able to ignore those same proxies as you. Is there anything that you have done that I need to do, or does it just do it?

It just gets through some how. I don't do anything to tweak it, it simply works. This message also proof that it gets through some how.

Same here.
I guess, B&N didn't bother to check if orientation was changed in every program they wrote. It's not supposed to change after all, right?

I guess B&N forgot to remove the entirety of android.
Thanks for the link..

[Q] Camera disabled by system administrator

Hi there,
The only thing that I can imagine this would be is an application or email client that is restricting your device's capabilities. Travel to setting/security & screen lock/device administrators, and see if any applications are enabled as device admins. If so, remove the app/apps until you determine which one was stopping your camera function. Hope this helps you out

Controlling system volume

As far as we know, there is no documented way or API to change system-wide volume on WP8, however...
It looks like author of the Quiet Hours application found an udocumented way to do this! Probably he is using ISimpleAudioVolume interface but I really don't know...
Any thoughts?
P.S. Guys with interop-unlocked handsets: could you please install the app and download/post the executable/assembly?

Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2594420
Seems like the quiet hours dev just monetized his idea..

I tried this app it didn't work for me i set time but it can't set my phone in silent mode.
I'm really interested that this app can change system volume.
I remember there was an app for fully unlocked wp7 devices to change system volume but now i can't find it.
Maybe Ativ S users with Interop Unlock and Full FS can help with this. They can get app files and upload them to check how is it possible.
I looked for decrypted xap file but i didn't find that

Yep, looks like the void Shell_AdjustVolume(int) call is exactly what he's using... Hmm, I need to try myself!

Try to pin app first, and manually toggle the volume by tapping tile (you don't need to wait 30 minutes).

I tried waiting over 1 hours to be silent but didn't work .
I know Pin tile work it has no problems but working with time is better .

Adjusts the volume by the number of steps specified either up (positive) or down (negative).
Code:
HRESULT Shell_AdjustVolume(int numberOfSteps);

I also noticed that if you set the volume to 0, and play a WhatsApp voice message, it plays on full volume although it is set to mute. Anyone know how this is done? It would be cool to be able to use this to set important reminders

What'sApp voice messages use the "phone call" volume (/10) instead of the normal system (/30) volume. So it doesn't matter if your system volume is muted the app will use the headset phone call volume...

[Q] Settings Rooted Note 3

Hi, I recently rooted my Note 3. I used to have any iPhone 5 that I jailbreak that had a good app that could hide (minimise) certain settings in the settings menu that you don't need. Is there any app out there for this. I have searched google and the app store to no avail.
This would be really helpful if one exists and I would be very grateful if someone could let me know, I really want to hide easy mode etc...
Thanks
Regards
Will

Anyone got anything?

If you were a developper, maybe (I'm not too sure...) you should do some changes in the "sec.Settings.apk" and associates.
In fact, many custom Rom's have a "developper section ". But this is to ADD features, not to hide it...
AOSP/AOKP Rom's seem to bemore flexible about this. Get a look to that world. But, then, forgot TW world.

Everything seems to work, but I installed the LG stock camera built for AOSP roms on here, and it doesnt open, it starts up, shows the camera shutter icon in the middle of the screen, and then blanks out... no FC... just blanks out, leaving the navigation bar buttons only.. anyone else have this issue?

What's the name of the feature when I slide the notification left it opens up in a window or something? How do I disable it? It always crashed on me when I tried it with hangouts, using the latest build.

Ok thank you. My mistake was, that i flashed a AOSP Baseband Modem and not the KK Modem. After flashing the KK Modem now everything works fine.

I'm noticing that in most applications when I bring up the Google keyboard, it covers up at least half of the typing area and also any send button that maybe in the application but not on the keyboard itself. Does anybody know how I may be able to fix this? I'm finding typing in this ROM very difficult. Mistakes are coming up that I swear have never happened in any other rom work keyboard I've used. Is this possibly a scaling issue? Thanks for any help someone may be able to offer.

I had to double check some stuff and what i found seemed to confirm what I have read around here. I dont have the Sprint variant but there are quite a few people that seem to have your same problem on the ls980 after leaving stock. From what i gather the most used method is to flash all the way back to stock and get a gps lock. copy your gps.conf file to your pc and then copy that over after you flash your custom rom.
It doesnt seem to be a guarantee a fix either but has worked for some people.

Mixed Answer. Most AOSP roms *unless drastically changed* will have terrible scaling on devices with our screen. its because at 480 dpi everything gets stretched out and thats why some menus and items will seem out of place on install. Now some keyboards are better than others. i find the recent google keyboard *not in the playstore* works great but I also scale my device to either 440 dpi or 420 dpi and that seems to be a perfect fit.

this was changed i realized but...On DSB and other newer features coming down to LS Rev3nt3ch doesnt really have much say in if these features get added. He is simply building what the LS devs add and then push those for our device. To put it simply...any new 'features' will have to be added by the LS devs first..

This may not cover all and bacon, which I use, is fairly new. I think bacon is somewhat of a hybrid of ondemand and the intellidemand. It appears to ramp up fairly quickly and back down while not going all the way to max CPU if not needed...this is a plus for battery life
