neutronscott thanks for your amazing work - suggestions for your wiki:
1) change resolution [Login to see the link] which is a game changer for usability of Waze and many other apps. Create resolution of 321x428 in the app (take care to put 321 width first and then 428 - reversing it can break your phone which then needs to be rescued by setting a valid screen resolution with adb) and then use the notification area to toggle between the default (240x320 which can be reset from adb if accidentally overwritten in app to a non-working resolution) for phone calls and stock t408dl system apps and 321x428 for installed apps.
2) mouse toggle - edit: hat-tip NEC if not using pro version of button mapper then install MacroDroid app apk (from for example [Login to see the link] ), Jumptoheaven's modded button mapper, xxdeafgirl's accessibility [Login to see the link] with a-one 's permissions and the change resolution app as described in 1) above and then after toggling resolution to 321x428 use MacroDroid to name (ex. Mouse On) and create an empty trigger (use search function for "empty" in triggers to locate) with action shell-script (again search function in actions for "shell" is your friend) of settings put system keyboard_pointer_enable 1
and a second named trigger (ex. Mouse Off) an empty trigger (use search function for "empty" in triggers to locate) with action shell-script (again search function in actions for "shell" is your friend) of settings put system keyboard_pointer_enable 0
. In button mapper map two button combinations (I used long-press back-button edit: volume-up to activate mouse and double-click back-button edit: long-press volume-down to deactivate) to shortcuts to Macrodroid - for one choose the Mouse On script and for one choose the Mouse Off script Advanced and selected Root commands and entered for volume-up settings put system keyboard_pointer_enable 1
and for volume-down settings put system keyboard_pointer_enable 0
.
3) useful and working apps list (subject to site and user acceptability)- my own list includes regular Waze (my biggest reason for getting this phone - to save the many 100s of dollars I would otherwise have to spend on a separate kosher Waze device and the recurring cost of an extra monthly plan), 1Weather, WhatsApp (which I use exclusively as a productivity tool and not for entertainment/time-wasting), regular Google Maps (can't sign in) all of which I use after toggling change screen resolution as in 1) above
4) Genymotion's [Login to see the link] was extremely helpful in setting up and playing with this phone because it has a mouse that accesses the whole screen area, working scroll-up and mouse drag
5) lgexalter1 's tip of using the [Login to see the link] [Login to see the link] don't set as default home because you can't make calls. Set a shortcut key to it (such as left key) from Settings | Phone Settings | Key Shortcuts.
