User interface yrgo 2.3 beta 5

Hi guys,
I have released new yrgo 2.3 beta 5 so you can check it out on my forum here.
If you are new in yrgo - yrgo is highly customizable User Interface Shell written for Windows Mobile 5/6 Professional devices. It allows much more that any other Shell and goes more deep into the system - the memory footprint is also held low.
I highly recommend to see the presentation video (the video was recorded with older version - doesn't have as nice graphic as it is there now and it has much less functionality, but it is good to understand yrgo's concept).
So let me know what do you think .
UPDATED: There's a bug in the version I linked to my forum - it has only Czech version. Please scroll down the thread there, download English.zip a follow the instructions in the post to get the English version working. Sorry for that.
Regards,
Luky

Oh yes,
the gadgets for almost all resolutions are not arranged properly - it is still the beta version and I will work on this this week.
But you can of course easily re-arrange it however you want very easily (just check the video I have mentioned above).
Thanks.
Luky

it is really nice and fast. on start up there was too much gadgets on screen, I would say try to make the desktop really clean aligned properly on startup. but it's a good work you're doing.
I'm not sure if this is a bug: using the file manager to explore my windows directory seems to hang the app, or maybe my windows directory is just really big. after it hanged and I terminated it manually, the app still populated my top and bottom bar, and half my screen, I had to soft reset.
plus how to change background?

Hi,
thanks for your feedback. I'll check out the problem with Windows folder.
To change the background image, just find such image in the yrgo's file explorer and use Context menu and scroll down to get ability to use such image as a desktop background.
Regards,
Luky

I really like your app. your design mode is very innovative, resizeable icons, etc.
*why the "hide" button? after going deep in the settings and want to go back to the home screen I had to click back button all the way back to home. it is possible to make the hide button "home" button so one click will bring me back to home? I know I can click on an empty spot and it will bring me to home, but I don't think everyone will know that.
*when not in full screen mode some of the icons/info is cut off at the bottom because the icons\layout doesn't resize accordingly.
*is it possible to add the "running applications" button as a gadget?
*also could there be some transition effect from desktop to desktop?
know I'm asking for a lot but I wouldn't be saying anything if I didn't like the app.

Hi,
thanks for your feedback. It's ok, your questions are really relevant and helpful for me.
Yes, you're right. It makes more sense to have button "Home" instead of "Hide". I'll change it.
I know about the problem when switching off the full screen mode. The previous version had auto-rearraning the gadgets but it made a big mess when you switched from landscape/portrait mode so I temporarily removed it.
Yes, running appliactions can be add to the desktop easily - as any other item in yrgo - just 'tap and hold' on the Running application icon a use "Add to desktop"
Yep, some transition effect would be nice - but at this moment it is not my priority. I need to release current 2.3 as soon as possible. After that I'll start to think about new feature.
Again, thanks a lot for your feedback- it was very helpful.
Regards,
Luky

Infinity v0.2.8 review

Just tried Infinity v 0.2.8, I should say it feels better than old version and it feels much lighter than SPB Mobile Shell.
I love Infinity’s looking!
Infinity will be definitely my next UI I will use for my mobile devices if developers can add the following modifications:
1. please do not totally replace original WM top taskbar.
1% battery indicator, Phoneweaver profile’s indicator etc etc are all displayed in WM top taskbar, after launch Infintiy,they are gone,this means Infinity completely replaces original WM top taskbar.
If you cannot change this,at least design a nice 1% battery indicator. We cant live without this.
2. to continue point No 1, Infinity also replaces other program’s toolbars, for example, Resco Photo Viewer v6.33,the toolbar is gone! This toolbar (contains zoom button etc) is very important for me, allowing me to zoom pictures accurately and quickly, that’s why I will not use Resco Photo Viewer v7.0 or higher,because they don’t have this convenient toolbar. Resco Photo Viewer v6.33 is best for viewing pictures; Now Infinity takes away its toolbar, I doubt I can use Infinity like this.[IMPORTANT]
3. Infinity also replaces original “X” tap, in WM you can go to settings/system/task manager/button/enable the "X" button to end running/end programs by tapping "X". Yes, I want program to quit immediately after I hit “X”, but Infinity disables this,the program is still running in the background after you hit “X”,there is no option for you to choose as to end program or minimize program. [IMPORTANT]
4. pls design a nice task manager widget with the option to assign it to the right soft key. [IMPORTANT]
5. pls add an option to make the desktop only one page. With now 3 pages, you can slide to left or right,it’s fun,but if you accidentally slide the page to left or right,you have to slide to find out the right page where you put all the shortcuts, this is not productive, for most of people,one page of desktop is optimal.
6. cannot we just use any picture to be desktop background? This is a easy script for programmer to write,isn’t it? So pls add this option. [IMPORTANT]
7. at last, I think it’s nice if Infinity can backup all the settings. Adding a program’s shortcut to the desktop is not straightforward, for example, I want to place Phoneweaver in desktop, the procedure goes like this: tap the desktop for 3 seconds>click right corner + button>Shortcut>click this new shortcut icon in the desktop>Show widget options>Path>(find the Phoneweaver icon>ok> tap the desktop for 3 seconds to finish.
You can imagine how much pain and time you will go though if you reinstall Infinity,if you can backup all settings and restore in future, you can save lots of trouble.
These are not bugs,just improvements that one of users want our diligent Infinity programmers to consider. Thank you for this excellent software!
Please note Infinity is still under development, Infinity v0.2.8 is not yet a finished product.

A quote from the developer himself:
I've just uploaded v0.2.8
We have to be honest: we don't know when and if we can finish Infinity. You're right - there are only some small parts missing to make it more usable but we don't see a big future for it as WinMo 6.x dies and it definitely won't work on WP7 or any other platform.
That's why I just added some small functions (add/edit contacts) and fixed some bugs. I also removed the time limit as we really don't know if a new version will be released in a few weeks or in months.
I hope you understand that.

I know right? It's like when someone creates a thread for a product and asks for opinions... yet they don't provide links or details....
annoying right?
but yes, it looks like it will be outdated very soon.
spb mobileshell/mobilesense looks to remain very promising.
plus we know they have support and will continue to update.
its not free, but its worth it if u can find it.
i use it and it is everything i need.

To the OP, your comments would be better suited on the developer's site. Ageye has stated that further development of Infinity is unlikely since the current WindowsPhone OS will soon be obsolete. Too bad. I really liked this shell.

[Research, Android 4.2] Try to enable multi user support on phones

Like we all know Google has decided that multi user support is only needed on tablet devices. I don't agree with Google here so right after I've got Android 4.2 on my Galaxy Nexus I started to do some research to get multi user support enabled. My goal was to get a generic app published (probably it needs root access) that would allow to enable multi user support on any Android 4.2 phone.
After some research I figured out this is not possible. Multi user support is deeply integrated into the OS and the only way to get it enabled is by modding a custom ROM. In my investigation I started looking at the AOSP source code. There are two entries points that are relevant: the new UserManager API checks if multi users are supported on the device and KeyguardHostView allows to switch users on the lock screen.
UserManager
If you don't already have the whole AOSP available then you can only download this repository:
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base
base/core/java/android/os --> UserManager.java --> function getMaxSupportedUser():
SystemProperties.getInt("fw.max_users",
Resources.getSystem().getInteger(R.integer.config_multiuserMaximumUsers))
This can be achieved quite easily. Open a shell and type:
su
setprop fw.max_users 5 (actually any value > 1 works)
Now the user menu is visible in Android settings. Here you can choose "Create new user" just like you do on your Nexus 7. A new user account is created and your phone is running in the new user account. In the QuickSettings notification bar you go back to your lock screen. However the icons to switch users are missing. So let's look at the lock screen....
KeyGuard
Download the repository:
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/policies/base
base/policy/src/com/android/internal/policy/impl/keyguard --> KeyguardHostView.java
Actually what happens here is that KeyboardHostView is trying to add the KeyguardMultiUserSelectorView layout into the lock screen if the number of users is greater than one. Unfortunately we will see an exception in logcat because layout R.id.keyguard_user_selector is simply not included in phone layouts. Probably we could change build.prop to enable tablet mode and get it enabled, but that's not really what we want to do.
Now the idea is to develop a lock screen widget that would simulate the KeyboardHostView. The app probably needs to be installed as system app so it's available for all users. So let's go ahead and look what exactly is happening...
First the list of users is retrieved:
UserManager um = (UserManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.USER_SERVICE);
um.getUserList()
This user list is added to KeyguardMultiUserSelectorView:
base/policy/src/com/android/internal/policy/impl/keyguard --> KeyguardMultiUserSelectorView.java
In order to finally switch users it just calls:
ActivityManagerNative.getDefault().switchUser(avatar.getUserInfo().id);
Doesn't really look like rocket science! Let's try to reproduce this in our own app....
Implementation
The UserInfo class (which is returned in a List in getUserList) is not included in Android SDK. Copy into your project from AOSP sources:
base/core/java/android/content/pm/UserInfo.java
Some little hack for a hidden constructor:
public UserHandle getUserHandle() {
// Constructor UserHandle(int) is hidden, use public constructor instead
Parcel pId = Parcel.obtain();
pId.writeInt(id);
return new UserHandle(pId);
}
Oh well, the UserManager.getUserList() is hidden. Use reflection to retrieve the user list:
List<UserInfo> users = new ArrayList<UserInfo>();
final UserManager userManager = (UserManager) getSystemService(Context.USER_SERVICE);
Method getUsers = userManager.getClass().getMethod("getUsers", null);
users = (List<UserInfo>) getUsers.invoke(userManager, null);
ActivityManagerNative is nowhere available. Use reflection to get an instance:
Class activityManagerNative = classLoader.loadClass("android.app.ActivityManagerNative");
Method getDefault = activityManagerNative.getMethod("getDefault", null);
Object instanceActivityManagerNative = getDefault.invoke(null, null);
Too lazy to figure out the proper call to getMethod, so just search for switchUser method:
Method switchUser = null;
Method methods[] = instanceActivityManagerNative.getClass().getDeclaredMethods();
for (Method m : methods) {
if (m.getName().equals("switchUser")) {
switchUser = m;
}
}
Call switch user with some ID that we retrieved from the user list:
switchUser.invoke(instanceActivityManagerNative, new Object[] { users.get(1).id } );
Executing this code will crash because we are missing some permissions....
Permissions
android.permission.MANAGE_USERS is needed for getUserList()
This permission has androidrotectionLevel="signature|system"
--> Install app in system partition (we'd like to do this anyway) and the permission is granted
android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL is needed for switchUser(). However this permission has androidrotectionLevel="signature".
Here we can already stop because the app needs to be signed with platform key in order to get this permission. Sadly there's no way we can do this on devices with a retail firmware. Only way to get this permission is by building our own ROM from AOSP.
Besides, the alternative permission android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS only has androidrotectionLevel="signature|system" but it seems this is not good enough for switchUser()....
Implementation in Custom ROMs
As we can directly modify the framework files this shouldn't be too much effort:
--> set the fw.max_users system property to a value > 1
--> copy the KeyguardMultiUserSelectorView layout from a tablet device (R.id.keyguard_user_selector)
I don't really have the time and motivation to maintain any custom ROMs so I'm stopping here.

Thanks!
Hey just wondering if you could explain more on the second part. I got the first part enabled perfectly. Thanks

what do you exactly mean with "second part"?

If you don't mind root access then you can use Switchme. It's an app that allows user profiles to be created and used. It's fairly stable too.

You can only achieve this my compiling from source and migrate the user selection view into the phone layout. The most complicated part is probably to find some free space on the screen

Native multi user support works on Android 4.2 phone
I've got Android 4.2 on my Galaxy Nexus I started to do some research to get multi user support enabled. After some research I figured out this is very simple. It is only two steps from native multi user support on your phone.
1. First of all you need to enable "User" menu in Android settings:
Open build.prop file with any text editor and add line (actually any value > 1 works):
fw.max_users=5
2.Next, to make the icons to switch users visible - change display resolution.
Open build.prop file with any text editor find line with parameter ro.sf.lcd_density and change value from 320 to 192
Save changes what you made just. Reboot your phone and enjoin native multi user support on your phone.

The different density activates the tablet layout. But your apps and everything changes from phone UI to tablet UI as well, doesn't it?

I got the multi-users running nicely with Vanilla RootBox and changing the screen density.
Is there no quick way to "hack" the x,y co-ords of the icons? Rather than compiling a full build? I don't mind tinkering, but don't really want to start creating full builds when the Rom I'm using is running nicely without it.
EDIT - solved.
Okay, found a simple way via:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37146983
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063195

OP, may I ask something?
Is it possible for a third party app (not a system app) to check if there is more than 1 user that uses the device?
if not, would root help?

I found a good option in this version but I don't know if it was in the previous versions or not.
the option is to keep any app you want keep running in background and not be closed even if you cleared the ram memory . :good:
run the application you want to keep running and go to the recent apps by pressing the square button and slide the application you want down side and you will find there is an closed locker icon attached to this application prevent this app from closing when you click on the trash icon to clear the memory. :good: :good:
Note: if you slide the app down side again you will find that the locker icon changed to an open locker icon and now will be closed if you clear the memory.
** this option will be useful for the social and chatting apps to keep running and receive notification all the time (facebook, whatsapp, viber, ....)

Settings Database Editor tweaks

I've been playing around with an app called "Settings Database Editor" and found some very cool tweaks that don't require root. It does require you to run "adb shell pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" on a computer though. Also sidenote, I'm not the creator of this app just stumbled across it on the play store and found some really cool things that it enables you to tweak on the S8.
In the tab "global" there are values for "transition_animation_scale", "animator_duration_scale", and "window_animation_scale" if you have development options enabled then you're probably familiar with these settings but with this you can tweak it to the exact scale you'd like instead of being limited to 7 different preset scales.
And in the tab "global" there is a value called "display_size_forced" by looking at the value set it seems to be what Settings -> Display -> Screen resolution is set to, maybe this will allow a wider range of resolutions instead of the 3 presets we get?
There's a bunch more tweaks, it's worth a look through

Yup there if you look there is an option called qs_tile_column, qs_tile_row, and qs_tile_column_landscape under secure. Just make sure not to set it to 1 otherwise SystemUI will go into a crash loop and renders your phone completely useless until you use adb to change the settings back. If you don't have usb debugging on you may be forced to do a factory reset

So I cant have just one row of tiles? Also, just a bit confused on how to actually use the app. I plus my phone into my PC and run some command in CMD? I just want like a 1*4 (x,x,x,x) How would I add tiles back if I wanted them?

The crash might only happen with columns, don't really want to mess up my daily driver again

[/QUOTE]
And in the tab "global" there is a value called "display_size_forced" by looking at the value set it seems to be what Settings -> Display -> Screen resolution is set to, maybe this will allow a wider range of resolutions instead of the 3 presets we get?
There's a bunch more tweaks, it's worth a look through[/QUOTE]
You do know in developers settings you can change the dpi to what ever you want?

You're mistaken, display_size_forced isn't the dpi.

So I cant have just one row of tiles? Also, just a bit confused on how to actually use the app. I plus my phone into my PC and run some command in CMD? I just want like a 1*4 (x,x,x,x) How would I add tiles back if I wanted them?

Changing the number of QS columns is totally possible using the System UI Tuner app in the Play Store, I've successfully changed mine to 7 columns, but I've also tested it with as little as 3 columns.

i was hoping this tool would allow me to change the default sms app to hangouts, however, the editor is not preserving my change (and yes, i issued the required command). does anyone have a suggestion to fix this? thanks.

Google took out support for hangouts as an SMS app the end of may. It is no longer possible to use hangouts with an actual phone number unless it's a Google voice number

You can use this method to change the default install location. Just throwing that out there, it's under Global in the app. You can also add your own settings, if I knew what the hell I was doing I'd add them, but have to imagine if I play around with Tasker or extract activities and intents from other apps that use secure settings, etc... This might give us at least some flexibility. I am beyond frustrated with lack of root on this phone, coming from LG v10, I was really relying on the Galaxy community to come through on this device. Still holding out hope.

I also just used this to turn off the Brightness Warning, under Global I went to "limit_brightness_state" and changed "80, 80" to "100,100"... warning gone.

The new Update from T-Mobile broke the changes I made here in quick settings. It's now just a blank box entirely. Damn
Nevermind went in and change to 5 and then back to 7 and all is well again

Noticed this too but not until after I got recent tmo update. I haven't had a chance to troubleshoot but it's either related to the update or the setting reverts on reboot. Seems like one of those settings it'd be better to change with a script on boot. Man I miss root. I had successfully changed all settings again after tmo update but reboot killed it. I'm gonna try grant permissions via adb again to see if the settings will stick at some point...ah well

I haven't updated on tmobile and it still happened. I believe it's a on reboot thing. What's weird is in the app it still shows my settings to 100,100. I'm going to try to set it again to see if its an error in the app showing wrong values. Because I notices when you change the tether requirement to 0, it always switches back to 1
Update: I just checked the app and now it's showing null for my limit brightness again. Put it back to 100, 100 and its working fine. Will try to see if it sticks on reboot
Double update : settings stayed after boot

It's weird man. One thing I noticed would looking into something else was that under apps inactive app in developer settings the database editor was some how set to inactive. I'm guessing it could be a battery thing maybe due to power saving settings. Maybe need to turn off all battery optimization for this. I'll gonna hopefully used Tasker to automate changes at boot and keep active.

try adding or moding this setting under (secure) without quotes "sms_default_application" and the setting value is
"com.google.android.apps.hangoutsdialer" if you use the hangouts dialer.. if not then "com.google.android.talk" for hangouts..

I'm not sure if this will work, but try setting it back to defaultand install systemui tuner and messing with the immersive mode setting. Also, enable the touch bar (the new Oreo setting that gives you the circle that acts like the soft keys.)
Why did you even disable that in the first place? If you want it fully back, you have to reset your phone.
