Title says it all.
I usually am somewhere between cm7 nightlies and Mikfroyo, but the other day I was feeling like trying something new and flashed the current Miui. I liked most of the features, but the battery bar that goes across the whole top of the screen really caught my eye. I was wondering if there was any way to use that in other roms? Any help is appreciated, thanks.
EDIT*: thanks to pvyParts, it is possible. Go look at his thread here
I asked this same question a while back, never got a responce. Hopefully this time we get good news

Well it looks like we are the only ones lol
I haven't used miui so I don't know exactly what you are talking about, but you could start by unzipping the framework-res.apk and looking around in there. Maybe you could provide a pic so I could get idea of what all might be involved?

I love that battery bar, I wish it were hard coded into the firmware

Its a line that goes all the way across the top of the screen, it moves from right to left and changes color when the battery runs down. Id like to see this on my ROM too
winmo used to have something like this.
For anyone who doesn't know about the top-bar battery, here's a screenshot. And anyone trying to judge MIUI completely by this shot, keep in mind that this is a fresh install, and I haven't set it up yet.

The picture says it all. The battery meter across the top looks sexy to me (and other people apparently).
I will look around the .apk and see if I can find anything, thanks.
I am willing to do the legwork, if only I knew where the original file is located. I think we are on to something . Again, thanks for any information. I'll update tomorrow night if I find something useful.
But please, feel free to add any information that you might have.
Thanks ,

I apologize for the newb question, but what do you mean? Is this part of the proprietary code involved with Miui? If so, it sounds like we are SOL..
Yes it is. This would be very hard to port because it is closed source.

yeah, it's gonna be hard, hard coded into the firmware would make that battery bar a permanent fixture, would be there through any rom flash, even show up in recovery or fastboot
that was indeed an option in the old WinMo 6.1/6.5.x "Kitchens"
i hated it =P
still unsure of it, but cool to see it here, didn't notice it when i last ran MIUI but that was the early Jan. release. My biggest complaint with MIUI is that all the settings are different(the actual menus themselves) ... nit picky perhaps but other than that MIUI is a p.sweet rom.
Yeah that looks to be more deeply embedded than a couple png changes. You would probably need to figure out what files manipulate the size and screen orientation of the battery meter. If you are serious about getting it, you could compare the miui build before that battery was implemented with the first version of miui that had the new battery. Using diff software you might be able to find all the battery changes.

Might be hard to get a version of MIUI without the top-bar battery. It's been in there since at least October, when I started using it.
As for the person wondering if you're SOL, the MIUI team had to add it with no examples or code, so it could be done in CM. It's just a matter of finding someone who's willing to do it from scratch.

I would be.
If only I knew how lol
Well I've looked around the framework-Res and I think I found the .pngs and the .XML file associated with the icon. But I can't see how it works. The XML is only 3 lines and doesn't seem like it would be animated when charging. But I don't have a good understanding of how it works and could be way off. Anyone else have a chance to look around? Or maybe have some ideas? Anything helps
Animated .png files? For that matter, it seems to me that the top battery could be made up of a bunch of small .png images: maybe like a 10x2 .png or something, placed next to each other across the top bar to do the battery level. The "animation" you see could be a script just moving one of those small images across the top bar to where the battery level currently is, also controlling acceleration and the like.
Just throwing a wild guess out there, but it would help if we knew what those .png files looked like.
*madly hoping something like this could be brought over to Sense* If it could, I'd permanently stick with Sense for quite a while, especially the new Sense coming out.
edit: cleared up the post a bit now that I'm not half-asleep...

I think this is it. If you get a chance to watch it charge, you'll see that a small "dot" or "particle" of the bar moves in from the right edge of the screen to the rest of the line.
For anyone trying to port this, if you haven't done so already, you should flash MIUI, change the battery to top-bar (menu -> settings -> system -> battery settings), and use it for a while. Make sure to put the phone on the charger and watch the animation for a bit, too.
When I have more time I'll go digging around... Which directory did you find those files in, Bamba?
edit: since it's a solid color (two technically, if you count the "low battery" color) I'm wondering if it's just a single .png that just gets resized based on battery percentage. alogcat gives the following message when I switch back to the top-bar battery, maybe that would be somewhere to look in... (If I had root explorer I would look myself, but saving up for Pokemon Black and White means not as much money right now)
Code:
E/BatteryStatsImpl( 310): java.io.FileNotFoundException: /sys/class/power_supply/battery/current_now (No such file or directory)
This is a little update to the mostly stock ROM I posted when we first got the NS4G. It is mostly the same, I updated the kernel to matr1x 1.2ghz cfs kernel. Its been working well for me. It is deodexed/zipaligned. It has dreamsforgotten's Quick Panel mod, so huge thanks to him for the time he put in porting it. I removed any apps that can be downloaded from the market, I think g-mail and voice are newer than the ones that came on the phone.
Here is another small update. I updated the market, tweaked a few things, and added the matr1x cfs kernel by mathkid95. It is oc'd to 1.2 at boot so setcpu is not needed.
ROM v.0.1.1
ROM v.0.1.1 w/Matr1x 1.4 and smartass
This new kernel still boots at 1.2, but it has a 1.4 slot also. It is also bfs.

SD card not mounted? Did I miss something simple? It booted up fine, looks like everything is working OK but no SD card. Mount SD is dithered out in Storage as well.

No sd card, like its not mounted? Try a reboot and see if that helps. My phone has been doing that since I rooted, before I even put this on it. A reboot helped.
*Wow, I guess you made it pretty clear your sd wasnt mounted :/

Sure enough - that worked. Weird. Hadn't noticed that in the 2 days since I've been rooted. I only noticed it because I went in to Titanium to restore apps and they weren't being detected. Problem solved I guess!
And thanks mikey - I tried other ROMs for non-4g NS and I can't get a data connection with any of them.
Any devs know what is causing the sd to unmount? I was having the issue just stock rooted also.

Your welcome My sd unmounted sometime earlier, I tried to take a pic of my kids and the camera told me to mount sd before using camera. Its happened a few times randomly. It was for sure happening to me before I ever flashed anything, so I dont know what it could be.
What benefit does deodexing do?
None. It just gives you the ability to theme and modify things. Some say it slows things down, others say its faster deodexed. We may see a theme or two in the next few days..its nice to have options til the CM guys figure this out. I was just trying to help, maybe get the ball rolling on things. Also, even if you don't want to flash this, netarchy's kernels are awesome, I recommend flashing one of those at a minimum.

Is this for the 4g only?
If so why not have a separate section for the 4g. Last thing you want is somebody who doesn't know the difference brick the n s.

Personally, I'm very happy you put this together. If nothing else, it validated for me that the other ROMS for non-4g ns are not going to work out of the box.
As I stated earlier, I had zero data services on multiple flashed ROMS. This is the first one that has worked flawlessly...obviously meaning there are definitely differences in some files for ns. Vs. Ns4g and ROMS will need to be tweaked for them to work correctly.
Thanks again for the work.

Mod's, I for one, would appreciate a separate Sprint/CDMA Nexus 4G section please. I've already seen a couple of our members unknowingly flash the wrong ROM and radios!
Yeah let's spread the Nexus S community some more, if anything we need the Nexus S community to stay together. OPs just need to label their post with what phone it corresponds to.
users should look at the title post date before flashing anything.. again, the OP is not responsible for any bricks or anything like that. flashing risks are upon the user.
if you split the Nexus S and Nexus S 4G community... it'll only be Sprint users and it'll probably be a deadzone whereas the main "Nexus S" forum would consist users from around the world with the only exception as the NS4G... you really want your own separate forum where it barely has anybody else? the only forum that would have a difference would be "Android Dev." Q&A/General/Themes/Accessories are the same.
I'm sure compatibility will come forward shortly. Netarchy's kernel for the Nexus S is compatible with NS4G, its in the same flashable .zip too. I don't see why ROMs wouldn't follow this. Just give it some time.
When going to 4g settings, i get a force close. Wiped all too
Uncle Jimmy says hello
The chances of bricking by flashing wrong rom are pretty slim, afik. We will be fine with a single ns section. people will just have to read a little before they flash a rom.
That being said, has anyone found any issues with this rom yet? Other than it needs appwidgetpicker.apk added

Thanks for saving my phone!
Dunno what happened, but finally got mount USB storage to work. Long story short: THANKS!
I'm all in favor of keeping one forum for Nexus S/4G, but with clear labeling of what's compatible for the 4G. Would hate to split into two separate forums for reasons listed above.
I'm posting this here because I'm a noob and not yet allowed to post in the dev forums....
Thanks Jermaine151 for all of your time and effort! This is my first time flashing a ROM, and my old Incredible is now fast, smooth, and gets WAY better battery life.
The only issue I can't seem to figure out is the speech to text problem. I've read all the applicable posts (I think).... Tried anonymizing search history in dashboard, turning off voice customizations in voice settings, clearing voice search app data... With no luck. My voice to text is completely broken when there is any background noise. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

can you check something for me. go to settings > voice input & output > text to speech settings and click default engine and make sure you have one installed.
another way to test its to download https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dexetra.iris and if you dont have the text to speech engine it will ask to download it for the market
Thanks for getting back to me!
I checked and I do have an engine installed. It says "pico tts" and the box is ticked. I also downloaded Iris from your link. It didn't prompt me to install anything else.
The TTS works great if it's quiet, but any noise such as the air conditioning blowing in the car, or road noise, will cause it to hear nothing.

oh so its picking up everything around you and not just your voice.
talking to iris and it works she hears you fine and all that?
is the box check for "personalized recognition" in settings > voice input & output settings > voice recognized settings ?

Kind of...
It's more like... When you use voice input in an environment with ANY background noise... You get the notice "no speech heard". It's like the mic is muted, and even if you yell into the phone it barely registers in the graphic display, or not at all... It acts the same with Iris, vlingo, etc.
I've read in other forums that this was a known bug with the 2.3 OTA, even on other devices, but it was later fixed with a patch.
I've tried it w/customization on and off, anonymized search history, and cleared voice search data. No luck.
In the stock+ v2.6 thread, it seems that others have had this problem but we're able to fix it by turning off customization.

when talking on the phone can people here you. or when using google search can it pick you up on there?
maybe there is lint in you mic on the bottom. have you tried cleaning it?

I do have root. Just rooted a couple of weeks ago, and this is my first ROM. I may have to try another ROM, ... I just like this one, and wanted to keep it if possible.
I need to look into what all I have to set up again if I do a nandroid restore.
I did clean the mic hole just for fun. No dice.
Also, all other mic functions Work great, just no voice to text w/background noise. Like in a moving car... Which is when I need it! Lol. It did work fine on 2.2. There are lots of complaints about it to online about GB breaking speech to text on the evo too. Going to CM would fix it in their tests. Thanks again for helping me.

no worries. i like brain storming. you can try another gb sense 2.1 rom like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232557
1.when flashing a new rom the steps most people take to make sure all there data transfers over is do use an app called titanium backup. its free. just only 2.back up user apps and data not system.
3.then download the rom of your choice.
4.manually boot into recovery with the phone off press power and vol - till you see hboot screen (white with the 3 androids on the bottom)
click recovery.
when in recovery make a back up of your current rom.
wipe data and factory cache
then wipe cache partition
install rom that you downloaded and boot it back up.
download titanium from the market and restore user apps with data.
the only real things you would have to set up again are any system settings its not to bad to do.
I will give it a shot this weekend. Thanks again for you time! There are some seriously helpful people around here.

Works fine with Froyo...
Here's an update:
I flashed the McSense rom. (Sweet rom too BTW) Same problem though. No speech heard in moving vehicle.
Nandroided back to stock froyo...works fine
Flashed Skyraider Sense. (Very functional, but not as smooth and fast...not sure if I'm getting the same battery life...too early to tell) (Froyo based) Speech to text works perfectly again.
I've found many threads on the web like this one...

and this..
http://androidforums.com/incredible-all-things-root/416724-2-3-inc-1-update-no-speech-heard-while-driving.html
So I'm guessing that GB broke this function on the Incredible....and it was never fixed? I wonder what jermaine151 thinks? I can't post in the dev forum yet. I would love to go back to his rom, just can't live without that function.

try sending him a pm and see what he thinks. also can you make a back up and try CM7 i know for sure it works because that is what i use on my phone. if it doesnt work then its your phone if it does then start posting random post in here so you can go to his thread.
I'll try that when the kids start feeling better. We're having a puke fest @ my house!

You are definitely not alone. Same as you, all of my searching has turned up a bunch of people making the same claim following the GB update. I find it strange that such a major feature has not caused any action by HTC or Verizon. I seem to recall that there was an update for one of the HTC phones on Sprint that fixed the issue, but I don't recall for certain at this point.
I am rooted and have run 3 or 4 different stock GB ROM's and they have all had the issue. I am currently on Stock Plus V2.6 and I also tried all of the steps you mentioned but no dice for me either.
yes, your not alone with this problem... It really is a pain because I use that speech to text a lot.. If there is any kind of background noise at all it doesn't work. But it works fine if you are in a completely silent room. If have tried all the suggestions but it just doesn't work as good a froyo..
Ahh. Good. So I'm not crazy
The good thing is, it forced me to learn how to do a nandroid restore, and to try some other roms.
I really like SkyRaider Sense 4.3. Tons of useful features, super stable so far, and the battery life looks to be excellent. I'll likely stick with it.

lol well if you ever want to upgrade im sure the devs will add this patch to there roms once the zip is available.
I need someone else to take a look at this, please. I am not on a team, and a novice at best. I just finished cooking my first rom. Everything worked with exception of Contacts (and phone since they are connected). I need an experienced devs help.

What did you take out/add to the rom for you to get FC?
see thread here, just took out a variance of these. Added AOSP email and exchange.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386846&highlight=+info+removeable+system+apps
I am trying different variants, like re-adding the stock email and exchange, but not even a boot after i do this...
All AOSP system apps won't work with TW

Yeah if you added AOSP contacts to a tw based rom thats probably what's causing you fc.

Please do some research before you cook roms. You could do the same exact thing you were explaining without cooking a rom.

Hey give the OP a break, at least he is trying to post for the community. Yes it could've been more descriptive but I don't see any roms posted from you. OP is just trying to get general help.

Thanks for getting my back. I did a lot of research, for the last few months or so. I only removed bloat system apps from the ROM. I agree, could've been more descriptive, but I didn't want to list like 60 apps and take up space. Now, the contacts that were in the system are TW based. Everything was taken from datajosh's FF18 stock rooted deodexed, and then themed from ev1lart toxic theme that I ported over form the sgh-t989. Everything worked with the exception of Contacts as stated above. I have since put everything back the stock exchange and email back and tested, but same problem, and after doing so the SystemUI wouldn't function correctly. So i rolled back to original to still have contacts FC. I was hoping maybe an experienced dev wouldn't mind downloading and taking a look. Maybe see something I had overlooked is all.
Also, forgot to mention that I am in the process of re-themeing
Here is what I have so far...

Have you tried replacing all the files at once: systemui.apk, both framework files, phone.apk and contact.apk from stock yet then work your way back from there? Also, clear cache & davlik cache.

Ok, I know I lose track when I've tried too many things...
Have you flashed totally stock rooted and only add contacts yet? Then maybe one app at a time without messing with ANY sytem files like systemui, framework etc?
Oh, btw you really need to try the Autoapktool from here, make sure you get 204a:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577025
I've fought with apk's for a long time and come to find out, there's a frickin corrupt .9.png file or something else somewhere not allowing me to compile correctly even though it's looking like it is. The trick is anything you decompile, it pops up a status window letting you know if the decompile went well. It's a pretty advanced tool and supports ICS.
BTW: How noob? You're double checking/setting system permissions when you push apps correct?

OK. I have all sorts of tools. Autoapktool works great decompiling, but not so good with recompiling. Agat63 does some awesome work though, he has mad skills. I wouldn't be anywhere without all the great devs here. I use the original apktool for most, but there is a new ics apktool I use (apktool for ics basically. These two I use exclusively for de/recompile, unless I just want the res really quick. I use auto in order to create flashables and such.... I have tried stock and tried to add via root explorer individually. Once again, contacs is a no go, and neither is systemUI. Also tried pushing using GangsKidz kitchen. Pushes the right way every time. But, still no joy. Dazed is going to take a look to see what he can find, but for now I think I am just going to start over.....

Thanks. We would have nothing if it weren't for ev1lArt. He did the majority, and created all the icons, I just took them to our device and applied them. I created a theme, but the testing of it went just as well as my ROM, so it is on hold until I find out which exact apk(s) is(are) f'd up. I have also cleaned it up quite a bit.
Ok everyone. I ha e discovered my mistake. The pro lem.lies.within the idiot that made.it....me. Seriously though. The theme was just fine and dandy, but I used the assets from the ported framework, hence why everything went awry. I searched for 6-7 hours straight to figure this one out. With that being said, I have semester finals this week. I will get back on this on Thursday or Friday this week. Hope to have this bad boy themed and ripping out next week. Also, what are thoughts about an apple osx themed rom? Im not much an iphan <-- get it? But I do have a Mac, and like osx. Just wanted some input. Thank you everyone who has helped with suggestions and tools. I was losing m mind, chasing my tail for hours....

I believe if it will be a theme that we can try out, that would be a nice option. If it is going to be entire rom based on that theme, I'm not certain how that will be recieved but you just never know.
Edit: Sorry, just being honest.

That would be great. As stated above, I won't start until Thursday or Friday, these finals are killing me. I did notic most were in code. Found all that out when trying to recompile. That is why I built using the assets....totally forgot about putting them in there. I will hit you up when I start working on it again. This theme is too good to pass up though!

A couple weeks ago while screwing around I flashed that Adreno driver that's been floating around on top of my existing ROM. I forgot I did it, but I just realized that I haven't really had my YouTube or Facebook app suddenly close on me in a while... since I flashed the driver, if I recall correctly.
This could just be a fluke, or coincidence, but I thought I'd share so someone else can test.
Here is the adreno driver (again), make a backup and give it a shot.
This is supposed to be included in the latest CM10.1, so I don't see how or why this would actually work, but I can't think of any other reason for the crashes to have stopped
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8666202/Adreno200_CWM-Flashable_JB_VANILLA_04.02.02.060.053.zip
FWIW I'm on BAM 9.2 which is based on CM10.1.2. I'm running Wind 2.5 with it.
Interestingly, my antutu score is higher than before too... Almost 8000. I usually bump up the CPU to 1.6 for the test.

And are you still getting sudden app closings?

1728, which I run most of the time, but then for giggles I did the stock clock and it was only like 400 points lower, so clock speed seems to have a minor role in the scores. I am running NitroTNT, which is based off of v20f and I know one of the improvements was a tweaked video driver. But one of the major reasons I have stuck with stock is because gaming performance feels better.

Thank you for you efforts, mpsantiago!
I think the driver helped, I haven't seen forced closes on either TuneIn, Google Music or Twitter (where these errors occurred frequently for me).
Unfortunately, a different error appeared (that I already knew from some older nightlies): When I slide right on the lockscreen the use the camera, the screen turns black apart from the uppermost pixels. Can anybody confirm this?

I just wiped caches and so on, and the error seemed gone, but it still occurs occasionally. The only way to return to a normal state is to turn off the screen. When turned on, the alignment of the screen is normal again. Screenshots appear normal (maybe this is helpful tracking down the error?).
Anyway, I can much better live with this quirk than with apps that crash, so I'll stick to this driver in the meantime. Thanks for it!
Flashed a few hours ago along with cleared caches and fix permissions and so far no problems. I'll update if anything changes

I've see the black screen when swiping to camera from the lock screen as well.
I have yet to try these drivers. Will give em a shot. I know my twitter crashes within 2seconds of trying to write a tweet so it will be an easy test.
EDIT: WOW, my twitter and soundhound no longer close! These were previously crashing every time for me (every time I tried to tweet or play a song). So I guess this isn't properly merged into CM..
Good job mpsantiago. I'm glad you wondered *why* your app crashings had disappeared!
I tried these drivers. Previously i was getting app force close problems in Googl Play music, facebook and some other apps. But now all these issues are solved.
But does any face problemwhile running games with CM 10.1.2(stable release). Subway surfers is not at all launching(black screen error), temple run OZ performance is sluggish and more hiccups while running. After running games or some apps, home screen is very sluggish.
Tried by wiping cache, dalvik cache and andreno drivers but of no use.
Can some one help me if already faced these issues?
Are these drivers for P93x only or can they also be used on the su640?
I think it will work on either- they both run Adreno GPUs, right?
Have you guys tried the newest nightlies without these? Who should we tell to fix this permanently in CM?

I thought the newer nightlies were using the new Adreno drivers anyway.. I could be wrong, but I swear I read that somewhere.

Yes they were supposed to be using the new drivers even when I first tried installing these and all my apps closing went away. That's the whole premise of this thread.

Exactly... I thought it was already there too, it was a total fluke that I flashed it. Not sure what is different!
BTW, while fooling around with this thing I hit over 8000 in Antutu for the first time with a JB rom... the main thing I changed was in build.prop, I set debug.composition.type to c2d and Max Layers to 4. Overclocking was mild, below 1.7ghz; I set the gov to performance for the test. Not quite what I was hitting on the tweaked ICS ROMs, but very smooth and usable. I might try setting it to mdp instead of c2d just for comparison's sake. I'm not real sure what the difference is between them.
Wiped Dalvik and cache, and flashed the latest CM 10.1 nightly (2013/08/18), V20c baseband, Wind 2.5 kernel, and these Adreno drivers, and it has fixed all of my FC issues! I had just come to accept that CM is buggy on this phone, but this Adreno driver seems to be the cure. Thank you!
After searching the forums for a cure of my Tunein Radio not working I found this thread. I am now in cm10.1.3 RC2 and all is well. Hoping CM team consider its inclusion in the final build

Hello everyone
I've taken the zip file from mpsantiago's post and modified the updater script so as to be able to install the drivers for LG-SU640 as well.
Here's the link for those who want install the Adreno drivers for SU640:

PS: just installed these drivers on my SU640 and everything seems to be okay.
