The no-refresh mode is very useful for the scrolling applications that don't understand the hardware buttons and/or paginated output (like rootexplorer, 3rd page of homescreen and aarddict)
It will be nice if hberntsen , in the next version of his app, will include also a button for switching to normal refresh mode without going to sony homescreen or reader |

It might be even better to be able to use a gesture or a long press of a hadware key to change modes. Or else the app could have a toggle function without requiring you to click to close the app. You would run the app to switch from one mode to the other.
The ideal solution (but I think it wouldn't be easy to implement) is to copy the behaviour of the Sony Browser to the whole system: mode change if scrolling or zooming is detected and refresh half a second after scrolling/zooming ends. Another thought: Since if seems possible to change the mode with an apk, would it possible to set refresh mode 3 with an a similar apk? |

@MisterNo
I made a new version of the norefreshenabler app from post #16. After you install it, you get 2 apps, one to enable the no-refresh mode and another to restore the default. There is no close button anymore, it closes itself automatically. I tried closing the app immediately but when I do that the screen mode does not change, i added a timer with a 2 second duration and that works on my reader. Let me know if that time is not enough. @entodoays As far as I know there is no way to get the current updatemode of the screen, which is required to create a toggle app. It might be possible to use the code of the webbrowser and implement it into the android framework. Unfortunately, I don't have time for that at the moment. Holding a button to switch modes would be nice indeed. I know you can launch an app by holding the search button, do you know if you can do this with other buttons? I tried setting the mode to 3 in my app, I did that in the Iconizedlistview.zip in one of my posts earlier in this thread. Updatemode 3 just sets the updatemode of the listview and not the whole screen so that does not work. Last edited by hberntsen; 02-07-2012 at 03:00 PM. |

I changed the files while the prs-t1 was in android, after a reboot I saw the effect immediately.

omg....my bad.
I've put incorrect files back into /system/framework folder. I mistakenly put framework.jar & framework.odex under /frameword(unpacked from framework.rar after put back the correct file and reboot the device,it just happens magically. Thx very much for your hard work! |

Im glad it worked It might be useful for other users that you upload your modded framework files for your firmware version so they do not have to edit their framework files manually.

I didn't realized your "framework files currently on my device' was meant to be folder name at first so I just mistakenly took those files under its parent folder. It would be better to reupload files need to be replaced but not a whole package at all to avoid such mistake though. I'd like to post a instruction on how to get it done under recovery mode if it is okay for me to use your file? |

I would like to post a blog introduce this device and your patch later and comes with a full instruction on how to do it from start. With your refresh patch, this device is one step left toward perfect. (still looking forward for button listening service though) P.S.:I've tried to replace these files with adb commands, but without fortune, it will not release the space occupied by framework.odex of 6 more megabyte lol |

Funnily I also put frameword at some point when compiling! I've attached my files compiled for firmware 1.0.0.3.11140, but it's the same changes as the other one |

Space discrepancy might be caused by the file to be replaced is in use at the time i think, so get it changed under recovery mode might be more safer, but it just get a little bit inconvenient to do it for every time. To get it done by a update pack is the most elegant way I think,but I'm not quite familiar with it, so I will also take a look and maybe give it a shot. Anyways,really appreciate your brilliant works! (ezPDF seems usable with this patch at the moment. But for pdf stuff I still prefer to read it on iLiad, to say, stay with iLiad's batter life is definitely a torture) |

Is it possible to join 2 shortcuts in 1?
If activated no-refresh mode - shortcut function is activate default refresh mode and vice versa. |
