It would require modifying "systemUI" and/or "framework-res". Google for more information.

Using power led for notifications

Is there any way for this to be done? I know how to turn on the two individual colors, I just don't know how to make notifications light it up.

ok, pretty sure this should still go in general but whatever.... I'm not trying to start anything. so I could help develop this... drop me an email
maybe look at pokey9ks source and see how he calls upon the led? than try to incorporate it within the os

Yea this would be really really good. The led is strong. So it would make up for not having a vibration. Obviously possible to control since it can be done in the boot loader.
Following this with much interest.
With rootdimmer you can switch the leds on and off. So maybe some sort of changed bln app should do the trick.

Maybe we could use TrackBall Alert as a base, or help the dev to support KF?

Old tube tv effect screen sleep

Is there a simple way to get the tube tv effect when I put my screen to sleep? I don't really want an entire custom rom. Thanks!

Yes, Root, Install CM10 or AOKP. I don't know about stock custom roms as I don't run them, but I'm pretty sure some of them do carry the CRT animation.
If you don't want to do that, No.
Ok I installed Cm10 and I'm never going back. I love the tv effect. Is it possible to have the sound effect that the tube tvs made when you power them off? I had that effect on my iphone

Probably... at least for CM10 there is a screen lock sound.... if you replaced that with the tube tv sound it would work.
Edit: Something like this app should work.. you could look for a free version of it.

Anyone got a good volume control app for the KF?

So I just rooted my Kindle Fire and installed CM10 and I LOVE it! But the only thing I need is a volume control of some sort. Anyone got something like that sorted out? I did search but couldn't find anything specific. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Volume Control by RUBBERBIGPEPPER works great. I use the free version and it's awesome.

This is the best volume management. Absolutely wonderful!
I even used it on my Galaxy Nexus for a few days, but made no sense since it has a volume rocker.
You won't be disappointed! (Hopefully..)

You can also try VOLUME IN NOTIFICATION app.
I have been using volume in notification for quite a while now until I just found this thread and discovered rubberbigpepper... Think I might be using this for now on... Very nice!

You Have to use status bar volume plus

This one works fine for me.
To the OP, I take it you're doing this for a tablet in the car? You doing an indash mount? What kind of car? I've got a kindle fire running cm10 in my powerstroke diesel right now. Not perm mounted, probably going to build a docking station setup in the drivers sun visor though.
If you have twa_ piv cm10, you can get the volume slider on the notification screen.

Free Version :- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.directservices.SmartVolumeControl
Paid version :- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.directservices.SmartVolumeControlPlus

+1, I used "Volume in Notification" before switching to this rom. I like the slider much better.

One more here for 'volume in notification'
A kindle running CM really needs this IMO. For my kids it is a real lifesaver combined with tabletUI
Volume In Notification is my favorite of all of these. The sliders in the first one can get in the way occasionally but this is always out of the way unless needed.

I haven't tried this app on a Kindle Fire (I wish I had a Kindle Fire), but I think SVC+ will work with it. I use it on my Galaxy and I love it. It only takes seconds to change volume using this app. I've used other sound control apps and this one is by far the easiest to use.
You guys should be careful with any sound app the speakers on the 1st gen fire I heard they are really weak and they can blow out very easy just a heads up

Leave it alone, please.

I would advice not to play with the volume because my speakers on my kindle fire 1st generation blew while trying out different volume apps. Playing around the volume is something you don't wanna mess around with.

Persistent Accelerometer while screen off

Hi,
I was wondering if there was a way to have the accelerometer on when the screen is off. For some reason my kindle fire turns it ofttimes. I know the htc ego 4g accelerometer stays on when the screen is off. Is there some file that I would need to edit. Thanks
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
Under display settings set Kindle display to always on or whatever the longest option is.
Ya but is there a way to have it always on when the display is off because I really don't want to waste the battery

CM10.2 PIE Controls

I am having problems getting PIE controls to work. Can somebody clue me in as to how they work. Not a big fan of trebuchet thus far. Why no gestures? Why no ability to change individual icons? I'll admit it is fast and smooth, but I might have to switch to Nova Launcher. If I do, why did I flash a ROM to begin with.

Because custom ROMs let you do way more than just launcher changes...?

Like what? Not to start anything, I'm just curious. What can I do with CM10.2 that I can't do with Stock JB 4.3 rooted.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Nevermind...I got it to work. Overrated! In order to enable it you must long press the power button and enable extended desktop, not the most intuitive way to implement this. Now I wonder if I can customize the available controls, or are these always configured to be the same as the soft keys at the bottom?
