[Q] Full Screen Called Id for Sense+ Jelly Bean - HTC One X

Full screen called Id was a welcome update to JellyBean, I used it with some of the original JellyBean roms for HTC One X. For those of you who have been able to update to the latest sense JellyBean roms, you will already know that Full Screen Caler Id is missing. This is a huge dissapointment, along with the notification panel and expanded notifications. Often it makes me think, what have HTC actually done to improve the latest Sense+. It is much smoother and faster I must admit and the maximus roms have been fantastic. The question is, will HTC ever be including these additions to sense?
I know this is not a problem with the roms and it lays with HTC itself, its just a huge dissapointment. When Android first introduced JellyBean, these were some of the feature that made the upgrade worthwhile. Does anyone know if Full Screen Caller Id or Expanded Notifications will ever be released?

I was under the impression expanded notifications worked.
The trick is to expand them by placing two fingers in the middle and drag apart horizontally, like a "zoom in" motion.

[Q] Window Shade notification - tap, not swipe?

Hi, I recently broke my HD2, and just got SGS2. On the HD2 I had Kumar's ROM. I'm new to Android, and I'm finding the Window Shade quite annoying. On the HD2, when I got a new message, voicemail, etc., I would tap on the notification bar which opened the notification window. On Android this requires swiping the bar, which is not easy using just one hand, and is simply more input than necessary. Is there any way around this?
Thanks!
I grab the notification bar with my thumb and flick down. One handed.

Use adw ex and set the gestures. Use swipe down for notifications.

Thanks, Biz. I installed ADW EX & tried that setting, but it didn't change anything. I'm using the updated stock ROM, perhaps using one of the modded ROMs could affect this?

ROM wouldn't matter much. Did you go in the ADW settings and look for screen gestures? Change the swipe down to show notifications. That way when you just swipe down on the home screen, that whole thing will shoot down.

Thanks for the help, Biz. Yes, I tried several settings. The one you are referring to DOES work in that manner, which is a little better, but I'm just hoping to find a way to not have to swipe at all. I realize it's a small thing, but it's something that will aggravate me to no end, and as far as I can tell applies to all Android phones. I thought these things were supposed to be more configurable than this. I am amazed that there may be no way around performing dozens of extra motions every day to accomplish something so simple.
May sound crazy, but I'm missing my perfectly configured (but lesser hardware equipped and no longer available) Windows Mobile 6.5 HD2.

OK. On the homescreen using adw ex, you can hold down and add a launcher action anywhere on the screen you want. You can add a show notifications action wherever you like and edit it and use a blank png for its icon. Then when you click that part of the screen, the notifications bar will drop.
It's similar to what you want, you just don't necessarily click the notifications bar.
I hope this helps you more and you start to enjoy android. As I had a hd2 before the sensation and love this way more than both of them combined.

Thank you, sir. I have been messing with that ADW EX launcher setting, and it's a step in the right direction. Still not at all what I'm looking for, but better than the stock setup. Any idea if there is some way to get the window shade to simply open and close, rather than the animated and slow way it moves now? That's another annoyance; I just want the thing to work quickly without any superfluous animations and such. It opened and closed instantly on my HD2.
Really appreciate all your help!
Don't know of a way to do that man. Sorry. :-(

Why not just set your home button to go home and open notifications? It's in adw settings as well.
Sent from my SGH-T989
Thanks, GideonX. That's another OK option, but still an irritating kludge. I realize it's just a swipe or a couple presses of the Home button or aiming my finger at an icon, but I'm used to a single tap on the bar & no swipe, and find any extra required motions wasteful. Also, unnecessary transition effects are a pet peeve, they serve only to slow things down, IMO. I'm really astounded that the Android bar is that unconfigurable, even with 3rd party apps.
Sorry for venting my frustrations on you guys! I really do appreciate your input.

[Q] Why does the notification bar lag in Jelly Bean?

So, I'll try and describe the lag. Supposedly, the Jelly Bean animations are all 60fps. But on the homescreen, when you pull the notification bar, I'm sure you will notice a slight (but still noticeable, at least 30fps) decrease in the smoothness. If you pull the notification bar with an app open (you can easily try it yourself, with the Messaging app, or even the Settings), it will be very smooth.
Is there a way to fix this? By overclocking the processor, the memory, I don't know, something like that? Can I flash something to fix this? I've tried searching everywhere, and people actually complained about it in some ROMs' forums (ParanoidAndroid for instance), but no dev seems to do anything about it.
TL;DR: I've been experiencing a slight lag in the notification bar, in ALL the Jelly Bean ROMs I've tested. Am I doing anything wrong?

Note: This becomes even more noticeable if you use a Live Wallpaper.
I notice this on my galaxy nexus as well. Must be something weird on jb :/

I experience the same thing on my HTC One X. The notification drawer is "choppy" and lags when you pull it down home screen, but in apps the notification drawer it is buttery smooth.
This happens on CM10 nightlies (20121006), IceColdJelly 2.4, and the Endeavoru AOSP rom.

I also had that in the CM10 but I am now using Maximus 4.1 and it is great on that ROM.
I have the same problem with my Galaxy SII on AOKP JB build 4. :crying:
No lag on sense based build smooth as butter.

it only lags on the launcher's home screen.. but in apps its very smooth.. anyway to fix it?
I think this might have to do with the background going darker, as you pull the bar down. If you have a solid color wallpaper and drag the bar down, it will lag much less than if you have a picture as wallpaper, and I think this might happen because, when the background goes darker, you can tell it creates some banding, and that may result in the lag.
Anyway, just my two cents.

That's Jelly Bean, the notification drawer is definitely annoying and strange somehow, if you choose a custom background for it you can see that when you pull down the bar the wallpaper seems to scroll down cleanly and @~60fps, and the bottom bar (the one which changes color when you touch it) seems to run at a different framerate.
Someone must fix it!
Try disabling the hw overlays in developer options if its available.

I've disabled hw overlays in developer options and it is still laggy. This lag is still present in 4.1.2 (running CM10 Nightly).
In Flow's video review of Ice Cold Jelly 3.0 - AOKP, you can also see the lag present when he pulls down notification in the homescreen.
So the current information we have is this:
- notification dropdown lags only in the launcher homescreen and app drawer
- the dropdown is very smooth in apps
- some JB roms on other devices also experience this (GNex and SII) as reported in this thread
- the sense JB rom for One X doesn't have this issue
Do have any devs acknowledging the lag? does any rom's issue tracker have this?
When CM10 reaches RC stage we can find an official bug report
Many people are reporting notification bar dropdown lag, in AOSP based ROMs, and that in Sense-based ones this doesn't occur.
I know there are many kinks and bugs that need to be fixed on all ROMs, and that no ROM is perfect. But seriously, this one really annoys me, it takes all the fun out of Jelly Bean.
There's no Jelly Bean without Butter, and with this lag, it just looks like we're back to the Gingerbread ages.
If anyone could please find/suggest a fix for this, I'd be so, so grateful.
As people have mentioned, the notification bar is buttery smooth when there's an app open, but unless:
- The app is showing a dialog
- The virtual keyboard is showing
I've noticed the above while debugging my app (DataSync), but so far it seems to be an issue on all apps. To replicate try the following:
Open settings
Verify the notification drawer is opening and closing without any lag at all.
Tap "Performance", notice a warning dialog shows
Pull down the notification bar, notice the drop in framerate compared to the last attempt
Close the dialog
Pull down the notification bar again, notice it's once again smooth.
The framerate drop is less noticable with the keyboard open, but still there.
Is there any fix for it? or still no one working on it? Sometimes it is really annoying too see it, i had this problem with my galaxy nexus long long time ago, but when i took him now in hand it seems to be rly smooth.
I can't see any difference in the behaviour of the notification drawer if opening it while navigating the app drawer or while standing by in an app, whatever it is, or even when I drop it down from the homescreen. It's always 40fpsish. I bet it's somehow related to transparency which is completely unneeded and I cant disable it.
My question is WHY a single-core iphone4 notification bar drops down at 1000fps and a quad-core android device should draw it at 40fps.
Someone said "Lol wtf you complain about cm10 is in early nightly stage" well no man now it's stable and completely full of bugs anyway.
I'm subscribed to this thread so I'll still wait for a fix....
For me? cm10 is always in early nightly stage. I changed my rom to rd miui ics becouse of battery. This room is pretty fast, looks good for me. jelly bean roms on galaxy nexus looks much better then ics becouse everywhere we have 60fps. if on onex jb roms i haven't always 60fps i don't need it. I will wait for stable version. jelly bean with standart or bricked kernel, 10h work with 2h display and i havent battery, here i have 16h and 3 h display and still 37%
I notice this a lot myself. Compared to my mother's iPhone 3GS running iOS 5 and my cousin's G2 (Desire Z) running AOKP ICS, the notification shade on my phone is really damn slow. I wonder if this was done intentionally by Google to keep a consistent speed for the shade.
I had this too. Specially at the bottom part of the pulldown menu. It stuttered like crazy. Seems to been gone when I switched from ondemand governor to interactive with input boost enabled.

[Request] HTC Sense Mods - Xposed?

Hey guys, Im currently running Trickdroid on my HTC and im really enjoying the HTC Sense feel. However, there are a few very minor things i thought that might make the experience that much better.
For one, i really like the HTC Sense stock camera; Easy options, Zoe, the seamless switching etc, but i would really like to be able to manually adjust the focus. I found you can change the exposure but i cant find any focus options.
Another thing (very minor) being the Sense "Recent Apps" ( double tap home) , for some reason it doesn't seem to support "multi-touch" and i can only swipe away one app at a time, even if i start from top to bottom. It would be awesome if i could just quickly swipe apps away before waiting for the fading animation to finish.
And lastly, the lockscreen. I do like the simplicity of the stock lockscreen but there's one thing that annoys me occasionally, if i miss tap or don't swipe properly it pops up with a short animation and says "Pull up to unlock" and the screen is unresponsive for the second the animation is happening.
Like i said, these are VERY minor things but having a solution would just complete it.
If you have any suggestions or fixes, they would be greatly appreciated
Possibly through XPOSED Modules?
Bump.......Ideas anyone?
I've never seen anything about anybody else asking about these issues so I would think the chance of a Mod existing or being made is very slim indeed ... You could ask in the Xposed thread ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335241&highlight=xposed ... Maybe the Dev could help you out.

[Q] How to lock the screen from notification bar?

Good evening, XDA members. For those in the USA, Happy Thanksgiving, if you celebrate it. Haha!!
So I've finally moved from 4.4.2 to 5.0, Sense to GPe. I miss XposedFramework. LoL!! I'm setting up different mods and shortcuts to make the experience similar. I can double tap to view the lockscreen, but double tapping doesn't relock it. In Sense it would. I see notifications are always on the lockscreen. I want to know if there is an app, or combination of apps that would have a persistent notification and have possible buttons with one being a screen lock.
This would speed me back up. I won't have to reach for the power button when using one hand just to view the time. LoL!!
I stumbled across NiLS I believe it's called, and I tried Notification Toggle The latter seemed to work, but tje function had become depreciated in 5.0 from what the little error message said.
If anyone can suggest something that would be great. I have PIE control for my "always active" Menu button. LoL!! I can't use PIE on the lockscreen though.
Any cheat would be nice. I just want my one hand usage back. That's the last thing before I can get comfortable and learn to use 5.0 until Kernals come out. Unless there is one... =.P
Thanks,
Izaya

Which aftermarket LockScreen do you use?

Which aftermarket LockScreen do you use?
AOSP lock screens just aren't customizable enough yet for my tastes.
Which is funny because I like a super simple lockscreen.
But one that lets me swipe in any direction to unlock. Not just up/down or left/right.
Tried Zui lockscreen last night and it was nice but they tried to hard and it's got a stupid "control panel" via swipe that you can't disable.
That, and I prefer apps developed in USA or India or Europe because too many Chinese apps send data back to the developer.
I've honestly never been a fan of replacement lockscreens. I have never found one that performs as good and is as stable as the OS default lock screen. I always see them failing out and sometimes showing the os lockscreen instead, or I'll unlock it only to find the default one behind it etc etc.
With that said, maybe they have come a bit further since last time I tried them. I might give them another shot.
Subscribed for the suggestions.
Well, I just tried like ten different lockscreens.
Ever single one of them tries to do toooo much.
I wanted a lockscreen without any notification bar, no navigation bar, no app shortcuts, and the first nine apps I tried had one or all of these things without any option to remove them all.
I just tried C-Locker now and so far it's got what I need.
Which is odd for me to say because the app isn't working properly.
But it's an XDA developer so I bought it and will trust in the dev to get me past my issue.
Dev thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182431&page=21#post70554247
It may even be some conflict due to all the junk the previous nine lock apps installed.
Ugh, I may just clean flash the ROM and try again.
Since I barely have any setup done yet on my 1/13 DU so not a big deal.
Yeah, I wiped my internal SD and C-Locker is working great now.
Man, those other lockscreen apps left behind folders all over the freaking place on my phone. And they were all thousand+ download, 4+ star apps.
I'm really liking C-Locker and will stick with it.
So far, there are no bugs like original lockscreen popping up (I disabled it of course).
And the dev just approved me to his beta program.
