Description

This is a mod for the LG Shine Plus (C710h) that adds and modifies the following:

Extended Power Menu
The Power Menu that pop-ups when you hold the "End Call" button has been modified to have different set of options. They are:

* Removed "Mobile Network" toggle, as this was merely a shortcut to: Settings > Wireless & network settings.

* Added "Screenshot": this triggers an intent "android.intent.action.SCREENSHOT" which is handled by CMScreenshot.apk (see feature description below).

* Added "Reboot": reboots the phone. This uses the same confirm dialog as the "Power Off" option.

* Added "Recovery": reboots the phone into recovery mode. Saves you from having to power off and hold three buttons. This also uses the same confirm dialog as the "Power Off" option.

CMScreenshot-port
Using an LG Optimus one and some information from here, I was able to port the "Screenshot" ability usually included in Cyanogenmod builds.

To use this feature, simply bring up the (now extended) "Power Menu", and tap "Screenshot". The Power Menu will close, and one second later a snapshot of whatever is on screen (your framebuffer) will be taken and saved to your SDcard.

A toast/notification should pop-up and tell you that the snapshot was successfully saved to your SDcard and what the filename is.

Some warnings when applying this mod:

* Neither I or karendar take any responsibility for any damages this modification may cause to your phone. I do this to further my knowledge and give back to the Android community.

* This mod only works on a deodexed Gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM. That means if you are running the original STOCK firmware that came with your phone, this MOD will not function properly.

* Continuing the above bulletin point, I have tested this using a clean install of karendar's custom ROM v20B R3. This ROM is deodexed.

* Make a backup of your phone before applying this mod. I cannot stress this enough. This mod makes several changes to system/framework files within your phone and could cause your Android system to be unusable if improperly installed.

* Since this modifies several framework files after flashing this mod, the boot will take longer 2x ~ 4x longer as it has to rebuild the Dalvik-cache. If it does not boot past the Android logo after 5 minutes, restore your backup that you made!

Instructions:

1) Download file to root of sdcard
2) Reboot int CWM-recovery
3) Flash the file
4) Reboot normally

nope cant get it working. it must require something in the custom kernal in jiliiks rom

I got the same result. I actually pulled the android.policy.jar file and my changes are actually in there, they're just not showing up.

Actually from this link:

What Is Odex And Deodex In Android [Complete Guide]

Stock Gingerbread is odexed, specifically android.policy.jar, and therefore it's loading the odexed version which I have NOT changed.

I will look into fixing this, but I guess I'll put the restriction this only works on deodexed ROMs.
