Hi all,
Galaxy S2 (update: also Galaxy S3) has a feature that can read out name of people who are calling you, or who sends you a message, as it happens. It's called Driving Mode and can be accessed through the settings.
Have been looking for a stand alone widget for this for a long time but didn't find any. Hence I made one... a widget that allows you to switch Driving Mode on/off with a touch.
Attached herewith
Features -
1. Economic in space - smaller than VLingo driving widget, which takes up 1x3 blocks.
2. As you remove the last instance of the widget, the background service automatically unloads. Does not use up RAM unnecessarily if you don't plan to use it, even if you keep it installed.
3. Does not depend on VLingo Voice Commands, if you uninstall it you can still use this.
v1.2 (2012-07-12) -
Ability to control this with 3rd party apps like Llama using Intents.
New icon.
Download
It is recommended that you download the widget from an appstore like Google Play (links are below), so that you will get the automatic updates.
Google Play - Download free version from Google Play
Google Play (Donate) - Download the donate version from Google Play
Cheers
What's the difference between this and the voice widget which has driving mode on/off?
Edit: just re-read your post and noticed you wanted a stand alone widget. Installed your version and it's basic. Just a green light (on/off) which is quite handy and space saving. Especially for me on sslauncher where widgets can be placed anywhere.
Good stuff.

Yes... I uninstalled VLingo (or Voice Commands) since from time to time I would accidentally double tap the home button, and irrespective of the phone being in silent mode, there it would come - speaking aloud "What would you like to do?"
Unfortunately the widget in your screenshot also goes away if I uninstall vlingo. That's when I missed the driving mode widget... Well, not anymore
Thanks, will try....
Running nicely and found a spot for it in sslauncher. Thanks again!

A newbie question...can this widget be used on CM9? Does this widget request some Samsung framework to work?

I don't believe it will work on cm9 as the rom doesn't include driving mode.

I have easily installed in my Galaxy S II on other page, because home page is full and there is no space for the tinny green spot.
When driving mode is on, what can I profit ? What's the use of it ?
Many tks. for your efforts.
By the way, will it work on the coming 4.0 ?
does it support Hebrew language ?
Hi Hirak99,
Great replacement for that oversized Android widget! Thanks!!
A small question, I'm using Llama (location based profile switching) to automatically switch a number of things. I would like to automatically activate the driving mode (when my bluetooth carkit connects).
In order to automate the process Llama "activates" an Android intent.
Therefore I'm looking for the following info regarding your widget:
- Intent send mode: start activity, start service or broadcast?
- package name: com.arnab.drivingmode (?)
- class name: ?
- action: ?
For example: I had an app where only the "action" had to be filled in: "package name".widget.CLICK
If you don't mind I will inform the developer of Llama and maybe he will include the "drivingmode" intent in Llama.
Thanks in advance!

I like the description of Llama, will check it out myself.
Here's the source code I am using myself for the intent to be broadcast -
Intent intent = new Intent(context, DWidget.class);
intent.setAction("_click_handler");
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
So for Llama, you could try the following values -
1. Intentmode - Broadcast
2. Package - com.arnab.drivingmode
3. Class - N/A (broadcast intents should go to all classes)
4. Action - "_click_handler"
Note that
1) This will only toggle the driving mode. But if this works, I can modify it to listen to other intent actions to definitively turn on or off.
2) This will probably work only when the widget is shown. I have kept a count of number of widgets on display, and made the service unload if no widget is shown to release memory.
Just added new version - will automatically turn on driving mode as you connect to bluetooth taking your idea. You should see a toast confirming it when you connect to bluetooth, only if you are using the widget and the driving mode was off when you connect.
If you use it let me know your feedback
Many thanks!
Llama isn't responding to the command, now I've tried your new version instead.
It work perfectly without Llama!!

I'm glad it helped.
Just installed this. Great idea! I was going to request the bluetooth feature until I noticed you had already been asked and solved.
Great work and thank you.
Thanks
Exactly what I want, exactrly how I dream it, simple and usefull.
Good work, recomended.
I don´t know why my dumbs devices always turn off the "Driving mode".
Thansk.
Thanks mate. Great app. Exactly what I was looking for.

I noticed the this driving mode widget turn on the phone's ability to announce incoming caller and texted names but doesn't read the message aloud. On my Samsung epic Vlingo in driving mode would read the message body. Vlingo on the SII doesn't appear to do that? Is there anyway to have it do so? Just reading the sender isn't much use if I don't know what they sent

Yeah I'd like that too. Unfortunately this phone doesn't seem to support it. You can check all the options in Settings - Language and input - Text to speech - Driving mode options. Strangely enough the message readout option's description states that full messages are read, though it doesn't seem to happen.
Hey man, I was looking at your app and I find it awesome!! I have the Galaxy S3 (US Version) and it works like a charm through the widget. The problem is that the bluetooth portion doesn't work.
I would also like to be able to toggle this setting via Tasker, as someone tried earlier.
Do you know what the Action Intent or Component Intent should look like. I tried a bunch of combinations without any luck.

Are there any 'settings' for this plugin, thro registry changes? I'd like to:
- Have it revert to home tab after launching an app/speeddial
- Take up less screen estate with no operator name nor date at top
- Most importantly, only update the weather once per day rather than every time I click the weather tab
- Have the alert icons change to colour when there is a missed SMS/etc (I am aware of kaizers colourful version - not the same issue tho)
I am using JUVS's improved version (thanks a stack dude! Made this plugin useful with the new tabs).

Tap weather tab, then city name. 'Select City' screen will show up. Then tap Menu -> Weather options, and there uncheck 'Download weather data automatically'. Job done.
thanks eva_d - didn't realise I'd get a manual-update button
Is it possible to change the color of the font on the top of the plugin, where the name of the operator is?
Is it possible to read the extensive thread devoted to using and configuring the HTC Home plugin?

The only thing I would like different is if it didn't open up the comm. Manager to actually switch it, if it made the change right from the home screen it would be perfect, anyone know of something like that???I found something called cicleBT that work well however its not on the Today screen home page, I have the HTC home plugin and can put it in the app launcher and its cool.

Just want to see if there was a way of making this so that it was a plugin on the today home screen say just under the HTC home plugin aligned to the left side and have my calendar show up to the right of it??? A nice little icon there that is large enough to use my finger to push???
Anyone know how to do a mod like this??
Thank you I wish I knew how to do it, any help would be appreciate.

are you lookin for freeware? b/c if NOT then spb phone suite has today screen components, 1 of which is like a button that displays a sub menu allowing you to turn phone, bluetooth, and wi-fi on/off and also flight mode. you can even tap and hold on each to access more options (ex: bluetooth modes, vibrate etc.) i dont want to sound like i'm selling this to you, but it's a great app. maybe the 1 app i install over every rom.
more info here
more screens here
search for a program called pockettoolman its freeware.
yeah freeware
Definately looking for a freeware to do this, not really wanting to pay for an icon on the today screen. I found this cab but can't get it to work looks like what I want but it don't work
HELP needed any good coders...............
I have found a quick launcher on the web with 5 icons to launch apps. Is there any coders out there that can manipulate this for me to 3 icons, bluetooth toggle on/off, wifi toggle on/off, and phone toggle on/off, justified to the left side of the today screen, again I am using an att 8525 with the att rom. Any help would be appreciated. thank you all in advance.

I am sorry to keep on with this, this is the last CAB that i will upload I really hope someone can help me with building what I want but til then this little plugin will suffice. Please try and help me with what I described above in the other posts. thanks.
the plugin you want CommCEntric v1.11 (hell I want it if someone can make it into a today plugin for pocket pc) is an xml file. unfortunately you need some type of a homescreen to view it. I dislike the homescreen concept because they take up so much space, but I love the look of comcentric)
hopefully anyone technically inclined can make it into a cab that will make it viewable on a pocket pc screen (not just smartphone)
CommCEntric v1.11, release date 2007/06/14

Has anyone figured out a way to make the commcentric app work for pocketpc??? Would love just to have the Bluetooth icon on home screen and be able to toggle just bluetooth on/off....any help here would be appreciate, basically bluetooth icon on the left with my calendar plugin showing up next to it on the right...
Cheers!
The easiest way to do this is to use cLaunch (http://pachome1.pacific.net.sg/~welic/claunch.html) which allows you put to icons onto your today screen. It's really configurable so you can just have a couple of icons, or your can have multliple tabs with many icons on. You need to play about with it to get it working how you want, but it'll do what you're looking for.
For the Bluetooth icon, here's a useful utility that toggles Bluetooth on and off without opening CommMgr. Copy it into Program Files on your phone and cLaunch should be able to see it so that you can have the bluetooth icon on your today screen.
An even simpler method is to stick BTSwitch in your Program Files and then map one of your soft buttons to it... No need to take up any screen real estate with pretty icons!!

HELP me
Where exactly do I navigate to to put the BTSwitch so I can map it to a button already on my phone, what a brilliant idea! Thanks, I just don't know what to do with it. I have placed it in several locations and went to map the button but can't find the file....I am dumb or am I missing soemthing.
Thanks and Cheers!

Sorry, should have been more specific!
Put the BTSwitch.exe file into Windows/Start Menu/Programs. You can then use the standard Settings > Buttons method to map one of the hardware buttons to the BTSwitch programme.
You can also map one of the soft buttons at the bottom of the screen, but will need a separate utility to do that... (eg Schap's Advanced Config : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070)
Also, have a look at these threads for other ways of changing your soft keys:

Hi,
I had the same question, and someone did answer what you and I where looking for.
It was answered by: slavik @ www.pocketpcfreak.com
The software is called: HTC BT Quicklink
His link was: http://rapidshare.com/files/42718525/HTC_BT_Quicklink.cab
There is no manual, but play with it and you will figure it out...
Good luck.
Hi to all!
After trying almost every app that locks the screen and keys so it can prevent accidentally pressing the answering key or reject or both :-D i decide to build my own (had a little extra time).
This is a specially light release for HTC Diamond, HD, Touch Pro (v1.0 and v1.1 tested by me)
WHAT IT CAN DO:
The only thing that it can do is lock the buttons and screen when you switch on your phone or an incoming call has arrived.
USAGE:
To unlock just slide down a 45% (could be a user define value... later) of the screen and..... that's it!
SETUP:
No setup (yet) just create a folder in your \Program Files (ex. \Program Files\LockMeLite) and after you download the .zip file extract it and copy the LockMeLite.exe and the CloseLmL.exe to the folder you've just create.
Execute it and your good to go.
EXIT:
Want to exit the application?
v1.0 just tap 3 times on the screen and a message will appear.
v1.1 just execute CloseLmL and select 'Yes' on the message.
REBOOT:
After a reboot you must manually start the application again.
RUNTIME:
Requires .NET Compact Framework 3.5
This is the required runtime library from MS. If you don't have it.
If you are having problem downloading this try to right click on the link and choose "Save link as..."
After downloading copy the file to your mobile and execute it.

I hope you enjoy it. Its free after all
PS1. After getting a message for a kind donation i include the button on the bottom.
PS2. Any donation, small or large, helps this project continues. Thanks again !
Hi geoks100
Great application. Looks and feel super. The only features i miss is to display missed calls and sms notification on screen and also incoming caller display. You writes that you already made these features.
Can I have for try a new version?
Do not forget. Keep so simple and small the program.
Thanks a lot

Yes i know it's the phones app that is trying to come in front.
I will leave this "bug" for later release
I'm trying to keep it simple and fast.
this is exactly what i like about this app , simple and fast .
but i would really like to know how's calling me
just name and number ... for eg . simple , elegant .
must think of a way (clever way) to answer the phone safely . it happens often to me to reject an incoming call or answer by mistake when i pull it out of the jacket or pants (don't think dirty , ok ! )
Very nice app

So when you pull it out of you jacke or pants (i don't think dirty) you slide the 45% and also answer/reject the call ???? Men you have some clever jacket/pants
If the slide would be not from top to bottom but bottom to top ?? (if i get you correctly) or you just slide it in your pocket upside down.
yup , something like that ... any way really good job.
thanks for sharing

Keep watching this thread, more to come
great work,thanks
Great Program.
Can you make the backgroud transparent? Would be better for incoming calls.
And an option to toggle off the 3 taps to end the program. Or make more taps cause if I pull it out of my pocket I happens that I tap the touchdisplay.
Keep this program so small as you can and it would be the best locking program ever I think.
I'm trying to download this app, but its giving me erro that i need to have the latest .net... can you all guys help on how to get the latest .net..
Thanks in advance....

Until i upload the .NET Compact Framework 3.5 runtime try to download it from MS
You must install first this on your pc and then get the appropriate .cab (ex wm,ppc,wce) from the install directory and install it on your device.
May we see some screen shots?
thanks
it's really simple ... black screen , clock on top . when you slide your finger down a % appears . when go over 45% it turns green and when you lift your finger the screen is unlocked.
simple and luvely.
Hi,
installed the app and it works very well on power off/on. - very nice and simple.
Then I had an incoming call while it was off and the screen didnt come up locked - it was straight into the answer ignore screen and unlocked ?

Hi guys-
this is really a great forum - thanks for the great work! Excellent help for a TP2 newbie.
Touch Pro2 impressions: I just upgraded (vzw) from my ancient (and yet incredibly reliable) Motorola Q, and this thing is truly awesome. I used a Touch Pro almost a year ago, and returned it because it felt sluggish and a bit buggy. I think the 2 is a major improvement. Very responsive, great phone and speakerphone, great wifi and bluetooth and gps, great keyboard (but no tab key?), better battery, surprisingly inexpensive.
Questions that I couldn't find answers to in previous threads:
1. Reminders: I see that the calendar reminders do not allow any option for changing the snooze time - it is just 5 minutes. Weird, as my WinMo 5 Q would let me choose a range of time, from 5 minutes up to a week, as I recall. This is disappointing. But even more disappointing is that when it is attached via usb to my pc, synched, and a reminder pops up in Outlook (2003), I can snooze on the PC, but that snooze does not synch with the TP2. Any ideas or suggestions? This is actually very frustrating.
2. Calendar: I have seen screen shots of the day view that has weather, even for future dates. I don't have that - anyone know how to enable?
thanks in advance for any help!
This worked for me to get the snooze options back:
Start a registry editor and navigate to key:
HKLM/System/Shell/Notification/OEM
Change the value of CustomUIDLL from NotificationLayout.dll to NotificationLayoutNew.dll
Just add New, it won't find that .dll and starts the old interface, with the snooze option.
Don't forget, after the registry change, turn the TP2 off and back on to activate.
Regarding your question about the weather forcast in the calendar day-view, you need to set your city in the World Clock screen (ie, tap the large clock on the Home tab).
There's a great hack (cRaCKwHoRe's Snooze Options) which gives you the snooze options back.
Also worth looking at are "InboxExtender", (allow read all, delete al options) and "Smaberg X1 Powerbutton 12 icons actionscreen" (12 options on holding the power button down)
You guys rule!
@itm - reg fix works great - thanks
@ohyeahar - that's it, thanks
@en_croute - I will try it as soon as i get some time, sounds useful, thanks

I just noticed that the current weather is not shown for me either.
I do have a city selected. In the "day" view on the calendar is just shows the single appointment I have. If I change to yesterday. I do see a weather picture. I went to the TF3D weather tab.. it was initially blank.. it updated and showed the current weather. I went back to the calendar view.. still nothing for "today". Only yesterday. Any ideas?
What is a good registry editor?
Never used one before and I need to find one so I can get my battery icon back after doing Battlevel.cab .

PHM_Regedit or Total Commander are the two most recommended ones here.
PHM is a little easier to navigate/use (mostly due to visual elements), but Total Commander also has a full set of file-explorer functions that PHM does not. Both are free.
Thank you so much sirphunkee. I was beginning to think nobody talked to newbies on this forum. I'll definetly be looking both of these up.
Okay I looked at both of them and downloaded the PHM_Regedit. Now I can't figure out if I should use MyMobiler to drag the Zipped cab file over or if I should unzip it first? When I unzipped it it did not look like a cab file. Does this work on a Sprint phone? Some of the cabs don't work on a Sprint phone. I'd hate to do another hard reset to get it to work like it is.

Hey there, no problem...we were all new here at one point, and asking the same types of questions
I'm not sure what source you downloaded it from, so I'm not entirely sure how it might have been packaged, but I would have guessed it should have just been a regular .cab file inside of a .zip. Either way, you can just download and use the cab I've attached here, I can confirm this one works just fine.
You can use MyMobiler to drag the cab over to your phone (it drops it in your "my documents" folder by default), and it will start the install automatically for you. Once you have it installed, you'll just find the icon to run it in your regular list of programs. And yes, it will work just fine on the CDMA (Sprint/Verizon) versions of the TP2...it's specific to what type of processor your phone has, not what type of radio.
Now, if you're not entirely familiar with registry editing, it's a good idea to read up on it a bit...it's very simple to do, but also very simple to create issues by doing the wrong thing. Also, it's always a good idea to create a backup of your registry (PHM can do that for you, just store it the backup on your SD card for safe keeping), in case anything goes wrong, you can just revert back to the working version
Based on: http://mycolorscreen.com/2013/10/18/google-ui-13/

I'm quite happy with the 'Home' page, and the 'Google' page, but I'm not sure entirely how to go about doing the apps page.
I was thinking of doing it all with zooper widget (like the google page - none of those are actual icons, it's all zooper widget.) in order to position things properly, because the launcher grid doesn't allow actual icons to be placed in appropriate positions.
I need some music controls somewhere too - maybe at the bottom of the google page, or the apps page if I split the rectangle background?
Also, I'm thinking of swapping the position of the top 'navbars' and the bottom searchbar, so that I can have a persistent google search (which only displays on the top with no option to place it on the bottom (Nova Launcher). This would require changing the wallpaper background to have the zooper widget search box as part of the background, with the actual search widget on top of it, unless there's a way to have the search zooper widget act/behave exactly like the google search bar?
I plan to release the files when done if anyone is interested
Lock screen is temporary until I figure out what to do with that - ideas/suggestions?
Thanks in advance guys.

With a layout as clean as you have now, I would be concerned that putting in music controls would complicate things unnecessarily. You might consider hiding the music controls using popup widget 2, or something similar. This would allow you to have music controls at the touch of a button, but not persistent (so that if you aren't listening to music they aren't in the way).
Auto popup with important info (short)
Hello,
I have been on this forum for a short moment now. And like to say thank you first for all the help so far. Thank you for your patience too!
You guys and girls have helped me root and customise my phones.
On topic:
I see there is a need to educate users for the right way to post messages. I suggest a kind of popup with the most important rules.
One of the important issues is that the forum is being filled with posts that are not at right place.
Like developer forum where questions are asked. I myself made myself guilty as well. Been thinking how to correct it.
The solution might be as follows:
- Create a popup that shows the most important rules.
- The same popup has a link to the more complete rules page.
- at the end people sign they acknowledge they have read it and understand.
- Then people can press ok
- A new popup shows (based on login). It shows a quiz and will ask questions. If the user does not know, he /she will not get access to
the forum at all!
- All users must complete this test! Not completing equals no access. After completing you will be sure the user knows the rules.
- Extra precausion, or called penalty if a user does something that is not right. No warning given, but the penalty will be given like
unable to login. Let's say 2 days to start with. With a second violation the period is extended to 1 week. Third time 1 month offline.
Forum admin keep the right to freeze a user and put that user onto a blacklist any time. Which means no access any longer.
Perhaps combine that with IP registration.
I don't know about you, but if I really need an answer fast, I would think twice to make big mistakes again and again.
I know the forum is not the quickest in answering, but people do answer, and usually have good answers.
Hope these suggestions are usefull. B.t.w. this website looks really good! :good: But the content that is offered, outmatches the looks
by a million times. The data, tools,apps made by you guys and roms are priceless!
Keep on the good work
