[Q] Miui battery bar ... On other roms! You can too

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)

Would it be possible to utilize Google Now up-swipe as Navbar replacement?

Hi guys!
I searched the Galaxy Nexus section, but couldn't find something about it although I'm surely not the first to ask:
So, as thread title already says, would it be possible to use the semicircle that appears on swiping up for Google Now as a navbar replacement? I know there's LMT which does something like this, but last time I checked it did only allow swiping from the left and right side of the screen, not the bottom. Plus, a native integration or a mod would be cooler than a separate app
I saw a thread where the navbar was reduced to something like a 1px touch area for the Google Now swipe and LMT for navbar replacement. I think of something similar, only with functions like back/home/recents/menu integrated in the Google Now circle instead of using LMT.
Here's a pic I made with my uber skills to show you what I mean: (sorry, I'm at work and only have MS Paint and limited time )

Here Google Now could be launched by long-pressing home for example.
So, devs, what do you think? Possible or not? And is anyone but me interested in something like that?

i dont want to burst your bubble, but what would be the use of that ? Let's say that you would remove the navigation bar to use that. Impossible since it's in navigation bar. Hmm if you want to have access to these button, get your finger 20 mm lower.

Like I wrote in the first post, I wouldn't remove navbar completely, but you could reduce the width of it to 1 px since you'd just need it as a touch area for the swipe-up (you start the swipe offscreen and swipe over the 1 px navbar up to launch the circle.)
The use of that? More screen real estate, less burn-in than permanent navigation buttons, aesthetics. And it's system- wide available, just like the normal navbar (independent from launched apps etc.)
Just think of it as a deeper integrated alternative to the pie from LMT (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150), if you know that app.

forget that.

It could easily be done. Even LMT could be modified to work from the bottom. I wish it was open source.

This was the first thing I thought of when they released JB. I would love to see it happen so we wouldn't need 3rd party solutions like LMT.
I hope it's possible.

I thought the same when JB was released. So let's bump this thread until someone capable of coding recognises

I like the idea too, and I'd be willing to give it a shot if someone released it.
But it'd have to look aesthetically better than that screen shot above.

very good idea! i'd also like that

Lol, as I said, the above "design" was built at work with limited time and MS Paint, it's nothing like I imagine the solution I think of, it's just a proof of concept.
But I have no skills at coding or designing whatsoever, only an idea. So everything totally depends on someone who's more capable than me in both design an coding.
I'm glad that I'm not the only one who's interested in something like that though!

Yeah I figured as much it was just to illustrate the concept, no worries!

I wrote with Zaphod from Team KANG and he said they're gonna make the ring completely customizable, so you can set custom apps or navigation buttons or whatever you like (kinda what they did with the current navigation bar as well).
But I think these new features will only come after all AOPK features are merged into the JB builds.

Nice. I think I might switch to a rom just for this function. Right now I am on stock.

Notice: Flashables are divided into Post #1 and Post #3. Post #1 will contain all the information, misc & flashables for 4.1.2 and Post #3 will contain the flashables for 4.2.1/4.2.2, take note all the latest will be the most recent upload​
What This Mod Does:
The Galaxy Nexus GSM has pitifully low volume. Previous fixes like the Volume+ app and Franco's app only increased the volume on music playback, or in the headphones, but did nothing for in-call volume or notifications.
This mod changes all that. It will increase ALL volume, across the entire phone: ringtone, music, notifications, loudspeaker sound, ear speaker sound, in-call volume, and headset.
Requirements:
-Rooted.
-Custom recovery like CWM or TWRP.
-KitKat Deodexed OR Odexed.
-Nandroid Backup, I implore people to have at least one recent one as this method is faster.
Installation:
*Revert previously installed patch as necessary.
1. Copy zip to Internal Storage
2. Boot to custom recovery
3. Install zip from sdcard
4. Reboot
5. Choose EIZO ReWire PRO E under Settings > Sound > Music Effects
Note: If you do not have the "Music Effects" submenu then EIZO should be enabled by default since it's the only DSP present.
FAQ:
What you should do:
Configure EIZO, Select it in Music Effects.
Refer to the Op for EIZO settings.
Practice tuning your own values. EVERY user has their own listening experience. What sounds good to one and not the other doesn't become the fault of the MOD.
Keep backups of your Alsa Mixer if you use call recording BEFORE flashing this MOD
Keep backups (The revert is safe) but I am not responsible for loops if you flash this on another device.
Flash the MOD after every ROM flash. Not necessarily kernel flash.
Search if your ROM has been mentioned. KEYWORDS are a must. Example is 'PA works' and the results will be displayed. If not feel free to ask and I shall assist you.
What you shouldn't do:
Test the loudness via Settings. There is an implemented system limiter so you can't tell the difference. Call yourself or sms yourself so you can know the difference.
Complain of distortion without testing your own values. I've set a recommend layout in the OP hoping it's to give you an idea.
Error 7, Error 7 is a halt procedure. Please debug the error and see what's written before saying Error 7 only.
Alternate flashing. (I know some of you prefer to flash the Gnexus mod on the N7 but doing so breaks the media codes, if you have the patience to swap the media codes in etc folder of the N7 then it's fine)
Don't use Noozy lockscreen controls, they're unreliable till a new app is remade.
Don't use compression in EIZO. Causes massive volume fluctuations as it was set to be an AVLS.
Please refrain from asking about PowerAMP as it denies the use of third party DSP's which make PlayerPro a better alternative.

Yes, time to replace the 2 yo Kindle Fire gen 1. I'm using my tablet more and more, so a nicer one time has come.
Not really dodging the N5, I just spend a lot of time in the woods and the weather, Got a chance at a S4 Active International for cheap, so went with it. After a dev I know drowned his GNex trying to scooter surf a puddle......
My GNex sounds good, works well, has a beautiful screen. I'll see what comes along. Kinda like the way Google/Motorola is moving right now, I'm thinking those may become the Nexus of the future.

Nice bro! I've been rocking your OG TWRP theme since flashing Black Eclipse, but I'm not really huge on red so this chrome look is more my style I did change to Red Eclipse Final, thinking I might want to mix in some of the B&W apks, but I actually like it; it's fairly subtle and looks cool in the settings menu etc. :good:
Hey I don't suppose you ever figured out what was causing the wallpaper or black screen to come up behind the volume panel with your themes? I tried a few minor things myself but nothing successful.
Thanks again for some more of your fine work buddy, I wish I didn't already make a fresh nandroid today (before flashing a couple of the TBO apps)! I want to boot into recovery to check out the theme, but really have no reason to atm :laugh:

I apreciate it brother... and about the volume screen thing yes I did actually find the problem... it's due to the transperancy framework bg I moded. I have to go back into framework and change one of the true to false when it asks to show wallpaper. I just haven't found the time to attempt to fix it yet. But I'll try and find some time tonight and take a look at it. But if you wanted to try this chrome TWRP theme out all you need to do it just go into the theme folder which is in your TWRP folder and rename the red theme to ui.zip_bak and then copy and paste the chrome theme in there and reboot. Then if you don't like it all you need to do it go back into the TWRP folder and theme folder and delete the chrome ui.zip theme and rename the ui.zip_bak to just ui.zip and it will be red again. But make sure and check back because I'm working on a couple more theme now that I will hopefully have done tonight.

New Toxic Green theme posted... gonna be posting a blue theme next. After that I will be taking requests

@SICKMADE - Oh I already did... I figured that the giving the ol' dalvik and cache couldn't hurt. Ok... I had already wiped it a few times making that nandroid and flashing some dope blacked out / cleard out stock apps. Alright, guess I'm busted I just wanted to check out the theme (which is awesome) and then become SICK MADE again, because I felt like it had worn off a bit from earlier :laugh:
That's awesome to hear that you found out what's up with the volume panel! I'd really appreciate it if you could let me know what you need to mod in framework. Sounds like the fix is fairly simple once you find what you need to mod. I'll take a look also... but if I come across something that looks like it might be it, I'd send you a PM before trying anything to see if I was on the right track...
It's kind of funny that you said that your next theme would be blue, as that was my first thought. Actually, I got a pretty distinct mental image so I'll describe it. Don't take this as a "request" necessarily, but just a color scheme that I think would look super dope, and knowing your taste somewhat
Ok, the background is dark grey... not solid, but sort of with a "woven" effect, sort of a denim fabric style. I'm also seeing just some light texture, with some sporadic shadows. As for the text / highlights, that Tiffany blue that you sometimes use would look incredible!
I'm quite content with the charcoal theme, so no need to "go out of your way" to make it, but if you think that would look as hot as I do... well whip that one up Great stuff as always my man!

I like the way your going with the new blue theme... if you find some time why don't you look for some cool pattern bgs and some gradients that you like. I was thinking the same thing tho for the framework bg I'm not gonna go just all back for the next theme... I'm gonna go like a darker grey. Also I was really wanting to go with that Tiffany blue so I'm glad you said that . Seems like a lot of people seemed to like it. It's better than that ICS Blue that you always see around. I'm so sick of seeing that! But if you find some time and don't mind helping me out that'd be awesome.

Decided I would release my personal TWRP theme that I use.... It came out so sick I was gonna just keep it to myself! Lol. I hope some people out there enjoy it!

I knew I'd have several in my Wallpapers folder... I was correct I usually have my images ordered descending from last time modified so the most recent are the latest official DynamicKat wallpapers, DLed from the Rom Mart app. There are 2 (out of 3 so far... about 150 total :laugh where I was like, "That one, perfect," HAHA! I'll try to narrow it down to top 5. What's your preference? Crop the grey and attach that? Attach the full images, scaled? Or send (email?) you the full res pics? Happy to help! :good:
Edit: I found a few more nice ones, but my overall favs are these couresy of DynamicKat. The grey textures aren't exactly what I pictured, but I can see it with any of them... I'll post more if I come across anything more like what I imagined. What do you think about the textures on these / have a preference?

Does this work on the galaxy s4 as well? Wasn't sure if since it's twrp if it's universal.

Anybody else having graphical issues with the confirm "sliding" bar on TWRP 2.8.6.0 when using one of these themes? It shows up super odd, and is thusly unusable. Flashing back to 2.8.5.0 works fine with all the themes. I can't take a screeny, hence it is in recovery mode, and unfortunately I do not have another camera to snap a photo with on me at the moment, either. I have the trltetmo. If anybody else would like to try this and see if/confirm they have the same issue (or not), that would be much appreciated. I would love to use SickMade's TWRP theme(s) on the newest version -- all of them are just ill! A heads up: if you try this and run into the same problem I have, the only way to get it back working again is to flash the TWRP 2.8.5.0 .img via Flashify or ODIN the .tar. Just a FYI. Thanks for any and all help, in advance!

I'm not one to *****, usually, but I just want everyone to know I appreciate the replies I've received regarding my issue, two posts above, over a WEEK AGO now. XDA is a place to learn, provide assistance, and receive assistance. The lack of even the slightest reply such as a meager "I'm not sure what to tell you..." simply is enough to speak volumes of how people just truly do not give a rats ass. I'm always one to assist. So it naturally ticks me off when a simple question goes completely ignored for over an entire week. That's all I've got. If anybody wants to "pick a bone" let's take it to PM. Because if anyone is that ignorant to somehow have any "bones to pick" based on my detailed and rightfully-placed agitation, then that would simply show more balls than brains. This is just gross negligence to give even a basic reply up to this point, I feel. That's all. :RantOver:

I apalogize if your post didn't get answered.... I've had some family problems as of late and haven't been able to maintain my threads as much as usual up to this point. But I hope that you worked your issue out and if you still have any questions please feel free to post and I will reply with some answers no problem.

Thank you, @SICKMADE. You are a class act here on XDA. Never was I distinctively pointing any finger at you, please understand. Also, I am sorry to hear about your family, and whatever is going on, I hope and pray heals itself sooner rather than later. Anyway, no, I still cannot get your themes to display correctly on TWRP 2.8.6.0. The sliding/confirm bar is off-center and unusable and a few, more minor graphical glitches I cannot recall at the moment. TWRP 2.8.5.0 shows everything properly and works flawlessly with your goods. I would screenshot it, but don't believe there is a way within recovery...? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks again!

I really appreciate the kind words.... people like you are the only reason that I take the time to share my work in the first place. As for the issue that your having with using my theme on 2.8.6.0 I have not updated to that yet and so don't know of that problem. To take a screenshot all you have to do is press volume down and power at the same time. I will def look into the issue with the new recovery and fix it no prob. I usually never update TWRP once I get on one that is stable without any bugs unless there is a major update that is. Is the latest TWRP running good without any bugs? If so I will update the themes to be compatible.

Thus far, I have noticed no bugs with that version, in and of itself. If anyone else has anything to add, please do chime in.

Dude you freaking rock bro salute.
I followed all the steps on your method and it doesn't change anything on my end.
Keep up the sickwork

New way to personalize phone: a WAW

New type of wallpaper adds a personalization twist

Wallpapers have been around forever, in smartphone terms. There are two tribes to the species: Static and Live wallpapers. The static ones don't do much besides simply being aesthetically pleasing. Live Wallpapers on the other hand tend to be busy continuously running animation loop to entertain–or perhaps distract–the phone owner.
I felt that something was missing here with choices available, hence Why I developed this concept of a Wake-Animation wallpaper.
The idea in a nutshell is to have something greeting you everytime you unlock your phone–think of a dog eager to show 'I am your friend, here at your service! –yet won't distract with continuous animation loop.
To built my first WAW I used original art by Stephen Najarian, a talented illustrator working in the Fantasy genre.
The way the app works is: you would set it to both Lockscreen and Homescreen in Settings->Live Wallpapers. When the phone is Locked, you will see lockscreen image that may appear like a puzzle with some ambiguity to interpretation. Once the phone gets unlocked though, the wake animation starts playing, and the pieces to the puzzle fall in place, finally revealing an image from Najarian's series. This short story visually unfolds in under a second, while your Launcher dishes out the icons.
For illustration, here the Locksceen on the left shows fragment of a beast up-close, which may not be that obvious at a first glance.
As you unlock the phone and beast comes to life shooting lightnings all over, it becomes clear this is another one of Najarian dragons awakening.
How well it works in practice? I share a few screen-action videos I took with app prototype at wakeanimation.org, take a look at it.
Beta APK available now: GooglePlay Beta download link
Please share feedback/your experience.
Thanks!

I like it. How would it be implemented, though?

Very much like a regular Live Wallpaper; after installing the APK you go to Settings->Live Wallpapers and check both the Homescreen and Lockscreen options for it to work properly/
I guess I would have to release an alpha to address these questions, will have to clean up my code and setup something, hopefully in couple weeks.

Sorry folks I don't have an app ready to offer for testing yet, but rather hope to hear if people find the concept worthy to keep pushing forward.

You know oneplus's love wallpapers have been like this for a year and a half now. This is really not a new concept, but hasn't been out on a mass scale

My understanding is, what they have is: on Lockscreen they show some movement, then once unlocked the movement slows for the next 4-5 sec then stops. So the experience is a bit different, user experience.
Have you watched my video clips? really short ones, Do they help explain?

Yes, they are about the same. When you unlock the phone it plays the animation for 3 seconds then stops. Yours is more customizable though
Ex oneplus
https://www.dropbox.com/s/u2p036b27jzde8k/20200423_192841.mp4?dl=0
Download if you want to see it accurately

A major thing driving this for me was the Art itself, the art of Stephen Najarian.
The way I see it, the app would have a rotation of several animations, all based on different pieces of the artist.
Would you say Najarian's art is a good material to pick for a project like this, or it's just me/my taste?
BTW on 3 sec animation length: if you got enough icons on your desktop, I'd say 60% of the grid and up, I found then it degrades the "Visual candy" effect significantly.So in my view, transitional animations need to be shorter for the art to shine.
One idea could be though, for Launcher devs to add an optional Delay parameter to their app Settings, so as to push the Icon painting down may be 300 msec or whatever folks might like. I tried reaching out to several popular Open Source Launcher devs about the idea, noone really replied.

Actually for me I prefer many icons on my desktop. A dark bg. And not live wallpapers or opening animations bc I'm a power user and really enjoy my battery life. But art is good and fun love it. But I just wanted to show you this is not a new concept. Props on expanding it for customization

Yeah I was showing the dev. Deleted vid takes up alot of space on my already full cloud storage

down-sample perhaps?
Apology for request: Would it be possible to temporarily "resurrect" it for a day or so? perhaps you can use another hoster, like G-Drive, Box, Imgur etc. Another thing is to down sample video first into much smaller file size. You can do that online, just Google "downsample video online" and get a few choices. Thx!

I don't need to millions of vid in YouTube
They call it dynamic wallpaper

Thanks man!
I had to play that couple times to figure what's going on here, but in a word what's missing there (compared to my approach) is Drama!
What I mean is, I am trying to show a little story (under a sec long) triggered at Unlock, while theirs is a very much ambient kind of visuals, which gracefully grinds down to a Static wallpaper. Just a different approach IMHO

Yeah, but pretty dang close. Been around for 3 or 4 years

APK available
News update: beta APK available on GooglePlay
Install is pretty straightforward; after completing, navigate to Settings->Live Wallpaper, it should show there as Najarian's Myth with an icon.
Choose it, and make sure to set it both to your Lock- and Home- screens. Then enjoy!
Please share feedback/experience.

bugs fixed
Folks, I just posted a new beta release which fixes some nasty bugs reportedly led to crashes.

OnePlus bugs with media playback
Folks I appreciate everybody who tried and sent Google crash report, which shows where the problem occurs.
Unfortunately, after doing some research into it, it appears OnePlus uses heavily customized ROMs which got some bus. There are number of developer reports out there about apps breaking on OnePlus and Xiaomi's (another heavily customized ROM phone make) involving media applications.
One workaround I saw on SoF is to to disable NuPlayer in the phone's Developer Options–so that a ,more stable AwesomePlayer is used instead as a fallback:
see
https://stackoverflow.com/questions...er-on-samsung-devices-how-to-disable-programm
Appreciate if anyone tries it and shares with the forum.
Here is how to get to Dev Options if you need it:

Fingerprint Unlock fix build
This update available on GooglePlay addresses issue some people reported with FingerPrint unlock causing problems. Let me know if issues still persist
Happy unlocking!
