I know there was a thread in Apps/Themes, but I have searched maually and with the "search forum" button and havent been able to find it. I even tried a google search to see if I could find the cached version... nada.
Does anyone have a link to the files/instructions for adding % to battery?
PS. Before anyone suggests it... I am aware there are roms that include it. I'm not interested in that solution. I want to add this to my current rom. Thanks.

Practice your search skills, I found it very easily.....
[How-To] Battery % -> modified services.jar
Agreed. Apparently my search skills do need work. I fail at life.
I just saw it bumped up in the Dev section and was coming back here to revise/delete my thread.

Is it working? mine doesn't return any results.
mine neither!
Its defo broke!
yep, no more searching here either...
I think I broke it, I did a search for "install Vista on Pocket PC" then it stopped working...
Not to worry I found what I was looking for.
Thanks.
yep, very few results when searching. not very useful that way :-/
Any prevision when it will be fixed??
Yes, I just did a search and it only returned results going back to Feb. 11. It is a topic that has definitely been discussed prior to that. Guess I'll wait and hope it gets fixed.

i sent this to the feedback form on the site many moons ago, but apparently nobody has taken notice.
Has anyone else noticed this??
If you are not logged in,
The quick search (click search so the box comes up with "show threads", "show posts", and advanced search options) is pointless.
If you try top search with it, you will alwasy receive an error. Because you have to answer the no spam question via the advanced search page. Whats the point of having the quick search in this case?
I propose the admin either gets rid of quick search (have it go right to advanced search), OR add a box in the quick search for the spam question .. for guests that aren't logged in.
I know it has frustrated me more than once!!
thanks for listening
Hi Guys,
We switched the search function on 12-02 as posted in news.
Could you give me some feedback on if this improved the search or not?
Concerning the nospam issue it should only be an issue for unregistered or not logged in users, if you have problems as a logged in user please let me know asap.
Greetz,
Flar
as just posted in the thread in news: search has been switched back too fulltext boolean which is what we we're using before, we're looking into other alternatives..
Greetz,
Flar
Ahh, great, thkx a lot for fixing it
Thanks for switching it back. It's much easier to find things again.
Ditto to the two opinions above me.
My opinion on other search options:
I frequently also use google site search to find posts on XDA.... I find it works very well for me (so well I have set up a keyword shortcut in firefox. All I hvae to do is type "xda " and the terms i am looking for in the address bar, and hit enter.)
this is what i used to type into the google box when I did it manually:
site:forum.xda-developers.com the keywords your looking for
This is especially true when I am looking for terms less than 3 characters, the normal search won't work.
Maybe you guys should consider offering direct access to a google site search in addition to the boolean?
(( An example is how Webmasterworld does it. They go two steps further with a yahoo and MSN. In fact, 3rd party is their only search system:
http://www.webmasterworld.com/searchform.cgi
))
well the forum search was working good for me yesterday..and today all i get is the Google search "Search XDA-Developers using Google" choice.. i like the older forum search..
am i doing something wrong?
ha! I thought they would use my suggestion in addition to, and not in place of, the normal search.
But just to confirm w/ the poster above me .. yes it seems that is the only search option now, your not doing anything wrong.
I dont mind using google search, in general it can find topics on here pretty good, but it has limitations.
For example, if the site search is turned off, you cant search individual threads. Some threads on here get VERY big, and without the "search this thread" function there are going to be plenty of questions asked and answered multiple times in each thread, which leads to annoyed people saying the question has already been answered, etc.
With that said, I really do hope the site search does come back for this reason.
i concur for the same reasons. +1 vote for that
i must be very unlucky but everytime i use the search i got this message:
Sorry, search is temporarily unavailable. Please try again in 10 minutes.
and i gonna sound stupid but where is the seach button within the thread.
because looking an information in a 100+ page thread is not so easy without search
if i cant find it then i guesss a lot of people and newbies won't, then you cant expect people to search before they posts
I dont see any announcements regarding the search feature being disabled, but it'd be my best guess that either there is some sort of maintenance going on, they may have disabled the search temporarily (it is a huge bandwidth killer), or least likely....a software error.
Either way, I am sure someone is aware......I'd just be patient.
(fwiw, I need the search feature too....but I can live with what I need the answer for....and I don't want to use any other forum but this one)
IIRC it's when the servers are getting overloaded, the search automatically gets disabled. This ensures the rest of the site doesn't go down.
If not, it might just be maintenance...
The google search will still be operational unless google goes down

I've not noticed the "search this thread" button being unavailable before. Maybe you've had a different experience to me. On both the new and classic styles there's a "search this thread" button at the top of the first post on the page you're viewing. If it's not there for you then I bow out and leave it to someone who knows why to give you a better answer.
So I was browsing the "Post your homescreen" thread and noticed that almost none of them wrote which widgets/apps they were using to get their screen the way they have it. I remember awhile back somebody had made a post featuring most of these apps in a single thread, for those of us in my situation who have seen the widgets/apps and wondered what they were called. Unfortunately, I'm unable to find it again. I tried doing a quick basic search and had no luck. Does anyone remember this thread? Does it still exist? Do you have a link? Thanks.
Looks like there is no Search Thread function anymore (Not the global search on top, but the other one)
I cant find my way in the XDA world without the search function
Probably something that will be fixed soon, just letting everybody know
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong part (it's about xda.com)
I still have the search button...
I have no search button also.... please bring back..... Pretty PWEASE
I mean the search b̶u̶t̶t̶o̶n̶ function to search on specific sections like on the forums of a phone instead of the global search. or do you have both?
Sorry, I thought, that a global search button disappeared to you. Forum search function disappeared for me, too.

Im missing the ability to search specific threads, with the built-in search. The google search function at the top works but i find it useless.

Yea, I can't find it, too. That is too bad :/
I also have this issue as well. As a mod, I would be worried that people start posting in wrong sections on topics if the search doesn't come back.

i have it in the upper right corner.

Yea, but this is global search.
Its working now.
not anymore...
Already does.
This is really the latest thread I can find on this issue of thread search functionality missing? Did they remove it a long time ago and I'm just now noticing... could have sworn I used it since May. WTF? Fail forum design.

Its just down right now... I'm sure they will get search up and running again soon...
Is there also a problem with the search actually working?
Lately when searching inside of massive threads, i would get results but then when i click to go that specific post, i would take me to the top of a page that has none of my results in it. This renders the search useless and i dont have the time to read through 300 pages to see if the fix to my problem has been found.
Search should be back now.
It is just there as before on my pc
Yeah should be back.

Hello!
After hours searching the internet for a decent answer, I have not found any solution to my question.
Is it possible to change the lockscreem wallpaper without installing any other Apps? (Such as WidgetLocker etc...). Of course, the wallpaper will have to be different from the one in "home" screen.
Some say that the solution lies inside framework-res.apk, others say SystemUI.apk...has anybody tried this, or has a solution?
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply! I already had a look at that post, but the forum says that it works only on LG Esteem.
Anyway, I tried having a look into my "keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml", but the line which should[/b] appear, as it says on the post, does not exist, or even not in the way that it should.
And that is where I got stuck
