Android :: Change System Settings From Droid Widget?
Apr 12, 2010
I have a widget that changes some system settings, but it will not take right away. It seems like I need to refresh the system settings for it to take. How do you change some system settings from a widget that take instantly?
when my widget is pressed it goes to an activity with a blank background to change the system settings. one of the settings that are changed is the display brightness. this is the code i use to change the display brightness. once i change the settings i call the finish function to exit the activity so i am not stuck there after the settings are changed. One thing i did notice is that if i didnt exit the activity the settings did change, but i was stuck in the activity. its when i added the class.this.finish(); to exit the activity that the settings don't change. code...

I'm stuck on trying to change system settings that are not standard android ones, specifically trying to enable/disable the auto backlight setting on the HTC Hero in code,
I can't see anyway to find out the string I need to use when doing Settings.System.get.

My OEM's preloaded rom is almost-nearly stock, apart from 2 things:
1. White background on "system settings" interface and not the default holo. Cant that be changed to default?
2. Ribbon effect instead of flash-light in holo effect, which tbh is quite annoying, because the ribbon effect is also quite large and in slower animation speed so that,s 1 second of frustation everytime i scroll to the end. (Yea, 1 second isnt much but, add those up and it gets annoying really fast)
How can these be changed back to default without installing a custom rom?

I'm a big fan of Toggle Settings but my one wish would be that it could toggle GPS. From what I understand, the security of Android doesn't allow any app to turn GPS on/off. My question is, since installing Mobile Defense as a system application allows it to turn my GPS on, would installing Toggle Settings as a system app enable the same feature? Does anybody know of a way around this or another app that is similar and can toggle GPS settings?

Is there a way to change the sync settings of a Gmail account programmatically with an Android app? For instance, I'd like to enable/disable syncing of a Gmail account from my app, without the user having to do anything.
I took a look at AccountManager, but that doesn't seem to be the right place to look.

I've been messing around with metamorph, and thank the members here for pointing me in the right direction to find the themes I am currently running the I.C.E. theme by tdawg. Everything applied correctly on top of Sholes 2.0.5, without messing up any performance tweaks. Only thing that did NOT apply(no surprise) is the font in the screenshots. I'd like to have this font- it is the same in the Droidinator theme and a few others I have seen screenshots of. So my question is.. where to I find this font, and how do I apply it(Hopefully through a terminal emulator since that is all I have set up so far)?

I can read settings like this, for example: final String mytest = System.getString(this.getContentResolver(), System.AIRPLANE_MODE_ON); but can't seem to write to settings using putString, no matter what I've tried. Maybe it is the scope of this.getContentResolver()??? I'm a newbie, so who knows, maybe it can't be done, or it's just syntax? Currently the code is in the onCreate of an Activity class.

More specifically I want to edit the Settings.apk and add more options. I'm unsure what the best approach to this is. I know how to convert the classes.dex to a .jar, but this doesn't seem like the way to go about accomplishing anything. At any rate, I'm really looking for some insight into this and advanced editing such as this. Someone knows how to, care to share?

Is there any way to make the settings menu icons display in color like on the incredible? Seems a shame to have a HD display but all the options are in black and white.

I use Java API "System.setProperty()" to set a system property. After invoke "System.setProperty()", API "System.getProperty()" can return the value just I set. However, when I use command "adb shell getprop" to verify, it shows that this property is not set at all. Do I wrongly understand API "System.setProperty()" ?

I would like to give the users of my app the possibility of selecting a language from within the application. All languages are supplied the standard way via the values resource directory. However, I don't want Android to select which resource directory to use but let the user decide instead. Any ideas how to accomplish that? The rationale for this: - some languages are not supported by the Android framework and can not be selected as a locale via the system settings - if you buy a phone in Spain, it will typically not have a system setting for Russian language, if you purchase in Russia, you will have that setting. So a Russian person in Spain would prefer using the Russian language included with the app, but can't access it

I'm modifying a stock ROM for work to have everything setup and ready to go after flashing the tablets (currently we flash and run a setup app) and have run into an issue I can't seem to find an answer to.
I need to be able to set certain system settings, such as "USB Debugging", "Unknown Sources", "Display Timeout", and a few other things.
I presume its one of the files inside the system.img.ext4 but can't find one that has anything like this.

Say my app has a widget and I use a configuration screen to do initial app widget setup and set a few preferences.
I want the user to be able to change those settings by simply going into my app's settings screen and clicking an intent preference to open up the same options the user was given when the app was created.
Can I use the same activity as the configuration activity? Will I have to handle it differently? How does the existing widget get updated with the new settings?
How can I get this to work?

When I change between governors, I noticed that a governor folder will be created under sys/device/cpu/cpufreq. Within this folder, it contains all the settings and values for this governor. how these settings and values are generated?
I want to modify some settings of the smartassv2. However, if I tried to modify it during the normal, mksh will eat my CPU. I really can't figure out why and this only happens to smartassv2. So I'm looking for an alternative way to modify these settings.
