As varied as the landscape of Android devices, some things have almost all the tablets and smartphones in common: volume control buttons, for example.

Who has not - no one dozes off at night just really nice surprise because crows and the smartphone, according to the dessert and announces the arrival of an e-mail. Well-earned sleep rudely interrupted one realizes that it is irrelevant to any newsletters. With a function that is personally one of my loved ones in the CyanogenMod, belongs to the past, this scenario: the so-called quiet hours. Simply define Settings ⇒ ⇒ tones Quiet hours for a period to which you do not want to be disturbed.

The whole thing is only for notice, calls come through anyway. Who's calling at night, it finally has an important reason - hopefully.



Comfortable brightness

In my opinion, the automatic brightness adjustments of most Android phones is inadequate, self-configurable in the CyanogenMod however a bit too complex and too opaque. No wonder you can still have a fast and convenient way of manual brightness adjustment. Such has the CyanogenMod - clearly inspired by Samsung, which had implemented this function is identical to the software of the Galaxy S1 and S2.

The setting for manually adjusting the brightness can be found under Settings ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ Status Bar brightness control. If this option is enabled and auto brightness off, you can adjust the brightness very easily and quickly: These remain only briefly with a finger on the notification bar, without pulling down. Now wipe the left (darker) or right (lighter).



Apps quit faster

Actually, the multitasking of Android be balanced so well that it re-open apps always provide a sufficient amount of free RAM available. Sometimes it makes sense, but then, an application to quit immediately and quickly. For this purpose, the CyanogenMod has an option for quite some time, with the focus will be finished in exploiting dividend app when you press and hold the Back button. Ended, as in: closed abruptly, not stored and thrown by kick in the pants from the store.
Who would like to use the option, it enables end ⇒ Settings ⇒ Application Developer Tools.



Remove camera sounds


The camera app in the Android standard and CyanogenMod is actually very nice, but has an annoying peculiarity: the shutter sound. The stay in its curdling roars "Klöng" - except when they switched their device completely silent. This can be a tabula rasa-fix method - namely, by deleting the sound files that uses the camera. For this we need a root-enabled file manager like Root Explorer , Ghost Commander or the File Manager by Rhythm software .

With one of these apps in the directory / system / media / audio / ui and navigate the files camera_click.ogg , camera_focus.ogg , VideoRecord.ogg and VideoStop.ogg delete (who is not sure whether he might still files later one needs to rename instead). Voilà - still is the camera.
