Manila 2.5.2012 (Stock Sprint 6.5 ROM) - Touch Pro 2 Tweaks Discussion

[neudof]

If anyone is looking for screen protectors just like the one that came in the box with your Sprint TP2, go to AT&T and pick up a pack for the Tilt2 (Stupid Sprint does not sell them ) . They fit perfect, are super easy to install, and only 10$ for a 3 pack!!

Can someone please help me remove this? I hate putting in a password every time I wake up my phone. Please, please help!

Thx in advance..

You can make the checkbox clickable by changing this registry setting:
HKLM/Security/Policies/Policies/00001023

Change the value from "0" to "1" and the checkbox should no longer be greyed out. You may need to reset.

A word of warning - if you disable the password then the next time you connect to your work's Exchange server it will impose the security policy again.

Thanks for the tip.

I know Santod likes to see the numbers of d/l's/uses so that he can gauge interest and move on if a mod/tweak isn't used too much. And people can also leave the modder comments on possible changes to whatever it is.

+1 on that! Thanks fishingmedic!
I appreciate the consideration and respect!
And for explaining my reasoning as well.

Just to add- the numbers of ppl complaining about apps causing problems esp. on Sprint's 6.5 updates are the ones who need to read those original threads beforehand the most!

Just picking cabs off a post in an aggregator thread like this one without more than 1 or 2 ringing non-detailed endorsement is dangerous to your OS's health. LOL!

Also - this is not a knock on the OP. This was a well intended start for ppl looking for cabs...but it should be just that - a start to their research.

You're doing a fine job of it too.
I have to agree that the best way for the users to see what they are getting and what issues it does or doesn't have in the specific thread it came from, is pretty valuable as well.
So links are the way to go, for many reasons.

I am loving this thread. Long time lurker, this thread is making me get involved.

I've already installed these cabs and 6.5 is that much better:
Co0kie's tabs and editor (wow, more buttons than I know what to do with)
jd TaskManager
Manila 2.5 NoCurtain`s
OMJ_Stop.Clock.Flip

I was gonna install the LED thing from Mr. X but after reading other's comments I am glad I didn't. I agree Q_Q, don't blindly install cabs without reading everything.

Two more things I'd like suggestions on:

1. Hide the My Location option on the Weather tab (I already disabled my location so this is just a blank page and a distraction)

2. Disconnect after 60 seconds: On 6.1, I used a tweak that logged me off of data connections after 60 seconds of inactivity. A real power saver. Doesn't seem to work in 6.5 though.

Actually - horizons1 - this worked for me!
It's 1 of the must have tweaks I transitioned over from 6.1 that worked great.

I use strra's disconnect cab - since i found the reg edit by itself doesn't work as well - as it had worked on the 6.1 perfectly & now 6.5.

The data timer has stopped running constantly & currently my battery is @ 86% with average usage of net, mail, text & phone since being off the plug at 8am.

I did the following reg edit and it works fine...

1) Using a registry editor find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\

2) Find the entry called... SuspendResume. Change the string from 1501 (default on my i910, yours may be different) to GPRS_bye_if_device_off

3) Find the entry called... CacheTime. Change the value from 600 (my system default) to 60 (my preferred). This is the amout of time in seconds after which your GPRS will automatically be disconnected if the signal is idle... 60 for 1 min, 120 for 2 min, ect...

4) Soft reset your device

it will not auto disconnect if you are still on IE, Opera or any other internet app if you are still viewing it on your screen. in other words, if you are on ppcg reading a long post, it will not disconnect even if its idle for 60 secs, because you are still using an internet app... i hope i didnt lose you lol. in other words, it took me more than 60 secs to type this and my data did not disconnect but i jus hit END and it disconnected...

UPDATE: Data will not auto disconnect unless opera (or other internet app) is fully exited... the only way to disconnect data with opera open is to press the END key... the END key disconnects data regardless even if it hasnt been idle for 60 secs...

EDIT (AGAIN): do not, i repeat, DO NOT change the SuspendResume to GPRS_bye, it causes alot of lag when trying to answer the phone using the onscreen buttons and renders the TALK/END hardware keys useless when trying to answer... just erase the #777 from SuspendResume and leave it blank... this reg edit is well worth it. i used to miss lots of calls before due to being online, but i called my tp2 like 10x in a row and received every call after this edit. also, after leaving SuspendResume blank, my data DOES auto disconnect even if opera IS still open... i hope this helps you guys, ive saw lots of people having trouble trying to get this edit to work properly and i fixed it all by myself with a little trial and error lol.
