Here's a little mortscript package I put together so that the icon displayed in the battery page of settings panel will be active and change with battery percentage remaining.
Just install the cab and then goto program files\battery and run either battery.mscr or battery.exe. This is only one time to get it started, then it should run updates itself and restart itself after a reboot so you can forget about it. Note: if you get a message about the battery file isn't associated with an application, then run the mortscript.exe first and then the battery file.
I only included the rainbow battery images in the cab. The zip files are other battery images packs. To change image packs, download one of the zips and copy the images folder within it over your current program files\battery\images folder. If you want to save the rainbow images, rename the images folder before copying the new images folder over it.
Nice.. I ve always wanted to do this but I never had the time... I ve got some nice PNGs for you to use with about 10 increments
Question though.... do you have to open up some other application that takes the focus away from the homescreen in order to see the battery icon changes.... or not ?
No other app needed, just run the battery.exe one time and forget about it. It only updates and replaces the icon that is already located on the battery/settings panel. This way the icon changes with the percentage more or less shown on the panel. And since the name of the icon in the reg never changes after being set the first time on installation, as you rewrite the icon, no homescreen reload is needed. It just updates automatically. The icon battery packs I got from my ipod touch, which is set up as 17 images for about every 6 percent change.
I just wrote this today so if it doesn't work let me know or feel free to fix and post changes. If you have more icon packs, go ahead and post them. If they're not 17 images, then we would have to slightly modify the script.
nice work man, looking forward to see it!
Great job, Showaco. Will install it and let you know. Keep up the good work.

You didn't understand me at all. What I'm asking is... does the icon on the homescreen update in REALTIME or is a homescreen "refresh" needed. Let's say you're on the settings page with the battery icon... Let's also say your script replaces the icon with something else RIGHT NOW. Now.. does the icon change in front of your eyes, or will you need to go away from page, or open up another window that covers the homescreen and go back.. to see the new icon ?
I haven't actually sat and watched it when update was running. But I know a homescreen refresh is not needed. I think, and if anyone knows for sure then chime in, that when the icon changes, if you were actually on the battery page, that it would not update in front of your eyes. But if you were on a different panel and the update runs, then you moved to that panel, that the updated icon would be there. I don't think its necessary to go to an app and then back but I will try to check it out and get back to you.
The way my weather app works is, the icon only changes after another app's window gets on top of the homescreen (even if just for a brief second). I'll %100 sure the settings panel will exhibit the same behaviour. Not putting your application down or anything, this is all because I was just curious if you found a way to refresh a static icon in real time...
Do you intend to make a cab for it... etc ?
Ok, I checked out the icon updating by connecting to activesync and writing over the icon while I watched screen.
If you are on the battery page during updating of icon, it doesn't show. If you change pages or panels and back again, then the new icon is there.
If you are anywhere else on the homescreen when update occurs, then the new icon will be there when you look.
There is no need to leave homescreen and come back(like opening an app) and there is no need to reload homescreen for update.
So for clarification, if you're watching the battery icon waiting for the big icon changing show, it ain't gonna happen.
But if you are anywhere else but the battery page, the update happens without your knowledge and it will be there when you look at your battery page. And if you are on the battery page during update, the icon won't change in front of your eyes but it you look a page left or right, a panel up or down, and then look again, it would be updated.
Is that what you mean?
This is only meant as an enhancement to the current battery page, not a replacement.

Let's try it a day and see if its working. Then, if you get time, could you make a cab for it? I just threw this together today while I was bored at work, and finished writing it after work, so I really haven't tried it out to much. If you got any ideas just throw them in, because I would like to hear them.
Ok, now that I've used it for a day, I have a couple of things to improve upon but overall seems to work fine for me. Has anyone else had time to try it, did it work for you or not?
Dude, I love this
This is great
Nice work, man. I think this is exactly the kind of new addition we all need to out WM6.1. Thanks.
Nice script, but it is necessary to add command RunOnPowerOn("\My Documents\battery\battery.exe")
I was just looking for something like this the other day. I have a set of battery icons from the iphone that I wanted to use, how would i go about making the changes? Or would it be easier just to send them to you?
** oops **
i installed this on a Q9c and it seems to work with the exception of the icons being pinched. Looks like they were resized width-wise to fit in the same area alloted to the original icon area. Is there a way to fix this? Also, can we add an icon for when the battery is being charged?
Battery.exe does not run... it gives me a message saying that its not associated with any program. Also where do i find the runonstartup command?
ThePaleAle, Mortscript installed?

you need latest mortscript to run, version 4.11b7, and can find it here: http://sto-helit.de
For a run on startup, there's two ways to do it.
1: Add a link to battery.exe in windows\startup or,
2; add a line into battery.mscr: RunOnPowerOn("\file location\battery.exe)
awesome guys mortscript worked great

I am using a 10.1 12-23 nighlty on VZW Gnex. Should there be a Users section in the Settings panel, or has this just not been done/merged yet? I see a lot of users running 10.1 that have there own image in the user Quick Panel tile; I'm sadly stuck with "Owner" and can't figure out how to change it because I don't seem to have a Users section on my settings panel.
Any ideas? I've tried a number of search terms but keep coming up empty....
Thanks for any help or insight you might provide!
I am not using CM 10.1 but an AOSP ROM so I think it will be the same.
The multi-user function is only for tablets, however, to just change the picture of that tile then you have to do the following:
1) Click on the user tile itself
2) Click again on the rectangle that shows
3) Click on the upper right 3 vertical dots
4) Click on "Edit"
5) Click on the square beside the owner name at the right (below the "contacts" icon)
6) Select the photo you want
7) After selecting the photo, click on the upper left tick sign (DONE) to save
Check the tile now... Well Done
It syncs with Google+ as well.

Solved!
My solution was different - and may turn out to be painfully obvious to you guys - but the suggestions helped me figure it out, so thanks.
In my case, when I pressed on the tile the toast came up that the contact didn't exist. So when I looked in the contacts I realized I didn't have an entry for "Me" (listed at the top of the contacts). That was all I was missing. Duh!
Thanks for your help and suggestions, cause it led me to the fix.
Help - cannot move app icons or create folders on Home Screen.
I have had my Tab S 10.5 for 2 weeks now and realised that I cannot seem to move icons on the home screen or create folders on the home screen. When I hold-drag an icon on the home screen it says 'Tap Edit to rearrange widgets, shortcuts, or create folders' but I cannot find where the menu is for Edit etc. When I hold-drag on an empty part of the home screen I get the home screen highlighted with Wallpapers and Widgests at the bottom.
I can create folders in the app list and move to the home screen but get the same message when I hold-drag an icon to move into the folder.
Please can someone help me with this?
Thanks.

Yes I will be returning it this week to the JB Hifi I purchased it from. I will make sure I test for this issue before installing any updates.
Issue Resolved!
I have just found out how to create folders for the Home Screen and rearrange app icons on the Home Screen.
I was searching videos on YouTube and came across video tutorials for the S5 which helped me, to create folders you go to the apps screen then hold down an icon and drag it to the top left where 'create folder' should be and let go, then a folder will appear which you can name and after you save it the folder appears on the Home Screen, before you save you can also press on a + symbolto add more apps to the new folder.
To rearrange icons I don't know how I missed this, press the Home button to make sure you are on the Home Screen, then down the bottom right corner next to the Apps icon there is a pencil icon for Edit Page from here you can move app icons around and into existing folders.
I contacted Samsung live chat twice about this issue and they did not know how to resolve it and I was about to take my Tabs S back for a replacement!
Thanks for the replies to my post it is appreciated.
it looks like the forum theme has just been updated, and I have 2 issues with it.
I'm using "Atlas" on android 5.1.1.
first a visual glitch: when a tap or mouse-over happens on a thread name in a thread list it adds extra space, causing the layout of the entire list to jump around.
this is particularly disruptive when using a mouse or an "air view" capable device.
and then a matter of convenience: device forum lists used to contain only a device description followed by a list of subforums.
now there's an extra-large list of the 4 most active threads between the device description and subforum list, which adds an entire screen's height of content to scroll through.
and each subforum link is followed by links to the 5 latest threads making a single subforum take up a full screen's height, instead of fitting all subforums on 1 screen.
this results in too much scrolling for me.
I'd like to revert to the old 2015 theme, but unfortunately there's no option for this in the theme selector.
is there any way I can get the more compact and less jumpy 2015 theme back?
@bitpushr is our server admin. He might be able to help with these issues.
We haven't pushed out any big changes to the 2015 theme - just incremental changes - so there isn't a way to 'go back'. I will pass your feedback along and also we should have a fix since it sounds like that first issue is a bug.
So the "jumping around" issue is fixed.
The device forum list: we just rolled out some "jumps" that let you more quickly get to a desired section. We still need to clean up the design a bit, but it looks like this: https://goo.gl/Ft32HO
Another option you always have is to use previous templates, like 2013 or 2010. You can change with the template switcher in the bottom left corner of each page here on the forums
the jumping is indeed fixed.
the "forum jumper" however unfortunately makes the scrolling worse for me.
what could perhaps work is if opening a link from a "forum jumper" in a new tab would open the entire subforum, while clicking/tapping it would scroll down to the preview like it does now.
and old themes aren't exactly an option on phones because they don't adjust to the screen width, and unfortunately after the "death" of opera mobile there aren't any browsers left that can do these adjustments by themselves.
edit: i thought of another solution, though it would probably take quite some work.
a minimize buttons like on the forums main page, which hides the "recent threads", and make it folded out on desktop and minimized on phones by default.
i've also included an image showing the amount of scrolling needed to go through a device page on a phone with a 1440x2560 screen.
that's about 13/14 screen heights, 33.000-35.000 pixels tall.
apparently the edit screen for these comments allows for link parsing and attachments while they aren't actually possible in comments.

Hello.
I dont know if it is an android issue or a google chrome issue. Then i don't know if i am in the right place.
When i read something on chrome mobile on my Samsung galaxy note.
And i want to make a copy of several lines or several words, i put my finger on a word. It highlights one word and the copy past floating menu appears. Then i want to make the highlight zone bigger. When i start to do that with my finger, the floating menu disappear and never come back.
And then i cannot copy anything.
You can see on these videos :

Then how can i copy past several lines of words on google chrome on my galaxy note 10 ?
Thank you
The copy and paste worked ok for me I just tried it. I long pressed on the beginning and slid my finger across and down everything I wanted to copy.
I don't know why

Yes i know exactly what you're talking about. That has happened to me plenty. I'm not sure if it's a bug with google or Samsung. How I'm able to work around it sometime, when the bug occurs, I would tap and hold while dragging slightly left or right, then release.This usually causes the floating menu to reappear. Hope that helps.
Hello and thank you for your answer.
I tried what you said with no success.
For example i don't have this issue on xda..
I do not have this problem either, probably a spammy bug, all his new releases have so many problems!
I do have a copy paste problem that is for sure a spammy issue though, because I can't get a new flat screen note 10 anymore because spammy must have his broken screens for job security lol, so with the "fake" tempered plastic curved screen protectors out now, they have a chemical coating that makes them super slippery and so when you try ti copy and paste it's way more difficult to do because you have to be a robot to keep your finger still as a stone now, all because of crazy spammy!!
I've gotten around this problem by using the FooView app. It's a floating button app that allows you to highlight pretty much anything on your screen, then let's you crop, search, edit, save, and select images, text and text in images. It's really customizable, and I use it everyday.
I'm not able to post links, just search FooView in the Google play store and you'll find it.
Cut and Paste on a Note is best done using your S-pen, not your finger... Tap, hold & drag, or use Smart Select.
