[Q] X-Rom Notification Bar Customization Issue - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, since im new to posting on XDA Forums, i have to ask my question about the phenomonal X-Rom here...
Firstly id like to take the time to say that this rom is exactly what ive been looking for... its fast and stable, something i sorely need due to health issues (the ability to access medical info without my phone rebooting or force closing is paramount). Not only that, its also very professional looking.
My issue with this hitherto great rom is this: i cannot seem to find options to customize the notification bar and currently im sporting two battery percentages.
I've searched the forums and found no answer, thus far.
Im using a Galaxy Note 2 with X-Rom, everything set as default from the aroma install, including the theme.
Thanks in advance.

and for display of the battery percentages, Settings > Display > Display Battery Percentage
Hope you get what you wanted.

Wow, can't belive I missed that, thank you, much appreciated!

[Q&A][FAQ][Support][Discussion] CSROM and Graviton

CSROM & Graviton Support and Discussion Thread
This thread was created in response to a new xda initiative to reduce non-development related posts on development threads.
An added benefit of a thread here is that users with under 10 posts can get some help (and won't have to PM me).
I will maintain just one thread (hopefully this works) for both ROMs and all carriers to help preserve my sanity.
Please be sure to specify which ROM you are using and the carrier.
Below are some examples of common types of posts and where they belong
Q&A and FAQ Thread:
"What kernel gives the best battery life with this ROM?"
"Is Nova launcher compatible with this ROM?"
"The battery life for this ROM is off the chizarts!"
"The battery life for this ROM is total crap!"
"I just flashed this ROM and my GPS doesn't work. :crying:"
Development Thread:
"The new cellular data toggle isn't working (confirmed by another user)?"
"I keep getting FC's from SystemUI. Any thoughts?"
"I selected the green battery icons in Aroma but it installed the blues ones (I checked twice)."
"I just flashed this ROM and it bricked my device! "
"The battery life for this ROM is off the chizarts!
(see attached screenshots from Better Battery Stats)."
"The battery life for this ROM is total crap!
(see attached screenshots from Better Battery Stats)."
**********************************************
There are exceptions to the examples above. If you are using a port and your GPS doesn't work I need to know that.
It will probably take some time for threads like this to evolve, so I am definitely open to feedback.
**********************************************​
Frequently Asked Questions

Hey guys,
ATT CSROM v1.4 GS3 - Love the ROM so far, once I got a lot of my apps and data restored and a few issues with that worked out.
Kind of a newb to customs roms. This is the first one I have put on my GS3.
As far as I can tell I am using the CS launcher and would like to the change the wallpaper on my lock screen. However when I bring up the selection screen it only give me the option to use the stock wallpapers.
Can I just move an image to the stock location and have it appear? Or is there another option?

Yeah, it get's tough sometimes. That is why guys like you and the other people that test for me are a huge help. You guys make my life a lot easier by helping out on the threads.
It won't be long before I stop supporting the Atrix. I just don't have the time and I don't use the device anymore.
There is also a pretty good chance I will close up shop for my Sprint and T-Mobile ports for this device. There is not much interest for my ROMs in either forum. Probably not a bad thing since that will lighten my workload.
_____________________
I am wondering if this thread would be better in the general section. That way it can be Q&A, FAQ, and general discussion. But, like I said in the OP, this is a new concept to we will have to see how it evolves.

If you want to use anything other than a stock wallpaper for the lockscreen you need to have the Samsung gallery installed. The AOSP gallery is not compatible with the lockscreen for pics, or other images on your device.

Thanks for the answer!
Can more than one galleries coexists? If so, do I just select another one gallery in the Aroma installer and deselect all other options?
Im still kinda fuzzy on the modify/upgrade process within the installer.
Re: [Q&A][FAQ] CSROM and Graviton
Yes they can Co exist. I can't remember how many there are in aroma but you can download as many as you want. I have three not including quickpic

Just a mention,
I installed Light Flow Lite yesterday and toyed around with it. Long story short it broke the AOSP lock screen. By broke I mean any time I would put my phone into sleep then wake it up and interact with any function of the lock screen it would become unresponsive and reboot (fast reboot I think).
I was finally able to get out of it by bringing the notification window down and getting into settings. Disabled the lock screen and the device was fine. Uninstalled Light Flow and wiped the data with TB, but the lock screen is still broken. Haven't tried the touchwiz lock screen for fear of it being broken too.
Aside from that the batt life is amazing and everything works wonderfully. Even got another gallery installed via Aroma and can change the lock screen wallpaper (not that im using a lock screen right now).
Judman
Based on what I have read on this apps web site it wasn't meant for an aosp rom. That sounds like a matter of app not being compatible with the rom so I would say not the roms fault.
Glad you were able to get things back to normal.

You are the second or third user that had this happen. I will add a warning to the OP.
If I remember correctly, Light Flow works fine with the stock lockscreen. But you might want to wait until someone that actually uses it chimes in.

Thanks, I couldnt really find anything else that mentioned having that kind of trouble, but it definitely makes sense. And I wasnt blaming it on the ROM, just saying it was a side effect.
Maybe the mention will keep someone else from breaking their lock screen.
Again, thanks for the great rom!!

OK please try to go easy, Im not a noob (Im just getting old) I just had my i717 note 1 stolen and i got an att Galaxy S3 on the way... Just prepping, I want to do the most stable paranoid android build out and get into some phablet action. Where can I get the install files for the 3/15 version, it sounds like thats the most stable at this point, any suggestions or points to the contrary, but most importantly where can I find the basic files for the 3/15 and whatever else you need to get from stock ui to PA... Any tips are so greatly appreciated, seriously. XDA love..
Just need to be pointed in the right direction, need full camera/main functions to maintain functionality so whats the way to go for stable tablet style PLEASE HELPPP, LOL
Sincere sincere thanks from an overworked and slightly behind the curve but loyal and dedicated Android user.

Everything is running great. I came from ParanoidKangDroid because of a couple programs where expanded desktop didn't stick.
I haven't been able to make my lock screen pie be the same colors as my device wide color scheme. It always defaults to stock colors for that. Ideas?

S3 lockups and LTE?
Hi
I put this on my GS3 (I747 AT&T) last night and so far it's pretty good.
I have noticed some weird occasional lockups and reboots, which is find for unofficial rom, I know what I'm getting into.
My other issue is that it seems to prefer 3G, HSDA, or HSDA+ over LTE even though I'm in a market with extensive LTE coverage. Is there any way to "weight" this?
Also the on-screen soft keys seem redundant, is there a way to disable them without disabling the status bar (PIE mode hides both)?
Thanks!

Lockups and reboots are kernel related you can try flashing another kernel (or wait for an update) I use this. It's the 4/09 All-Star Devs Kernel. You have to make sure if you flash a kernel not to go any newer than 4/09/13 or it won't work this this ROM until it gets updated.
Make sure your APN settings are correct, make sure LTE is selected in your settings and if all else fails do a Speed Test to check your speeds.
You can disable Nav Bar (Bottom) Settings > Hybrid Properties > Nav Bar 0% Apply and reboot if it prompts for it.

Awesome, thanks for the advice, I'll give it a shot!
Actually, I have noticed the same thing for me, only in the past two days.. Specifically: random sleeps of death with no regularity, and when trying to use Spotify, or I Heart Radio when plugged into my headphones (Samsung set that came with the phone) phone will not play music through the app, but it will work just fine when plugged into an aux cable... I have changed nothing in my kernel settings, or system settings since things settled down.
Very strange.
Thanks I was having some problems that kernel seem to fix them.

What do the instructions mean by "update recovery"?
Thanks!
I'm on the latest version of Paranoid Android. I've been experiencing this weird noise. It happens when the phone is placed down or just the screen turning on or off. In the video, it sounds like I'm placing the phone down with some force but I've activated the sound even when putting it down super gently.
Here's the video:

Simple answer:
The instructions are simply telling you to make sure that you have the most recent recovery for your device is installed, and if not, to install it. Oftentimes not having an updated recovery is what causes the Status 7 errors when trying to flash new ROMs.

Other than the updated kernel and displays drivers there is no difference in roms. Regardless if it'll work it won't give you anything you don't already have.

[Q] Jedi X - ROM toolbox pro and statusbar icons - problem

So I was running Jedi XX ROM, great ROM btw. Upgraded the ROM toolbox that came with it to the pro version cause I like to burn nickles and dimes on Android apps. Anyway I decided to customize my statusbar icons, started off with new symbols for battery, wifi, signal, etc. Went fine until I updated my status bar color, then multiple service would stop working including superuser. Did the reboot as required and ended up constantly getting the notorious unfortunately, android keyboard has stopped error. tried to troubleshoot for a few minutes but decided I would just upgrade to the newer version of Jedi X, was going to upgrade this coming weekend anyhow. So installing the new ROM went fine, decided to try the statusbar change again and basically get the same issue although it has not effected my android keyboard (probably because I am using the stock samsung keyboard now) but it did however wipe out all my google accounts forcing me to re-enter them.
Anyone else have this issue, should I just abandon trying to modify the statusbar itself.
You can see what I am running from my sig. I tried to change a few icons and it cleared my accounts like you. I do not have the keyboard issue though. If you can't solve this problem, you can still play around with the boot animations if you have not already. Some are pretty funny.

[Q] Thanks & a couple of questions on Phoenix ROM

Hey, it appears as though i cant post anything in the development forum due to being a "newbie"
I had intended to post this on the dedicated Phoenix ROM thread but it has been suggested i post it here, hope this is ok?
Hey guys, had to register and post to say thanks to Tamirda for this ROM, I installed it about a week ago and must say im mightily impressed.
Battery life is excellent, it runs like a dream, plenty of options, no issues here.
I can see myself sticking with this ROM for quite some time!
I have downloaded the phoenix app from the Play store to show my appreciation.
While im here I may as well ask a couple of questions
Ive installed the Noozxoide sound option via Aroma and am having a bit of trouble with it – this may be down to me not using it correctly, not sure, but something a bit simpler may suit me. If I want to change that is it as simple as uninstalling it from the application manager and then choosing a different option via the phoenix kitchen app?
Lastly, is there a way of changing the data icons that show in the status bar? The 3G, wifi, GPS Bluetooth etc? Im using the HTC sense theme with 50% transparency on everything. The icons are the more polished HTC ones when the notification bar is pulled down (in the toggle area) but the ones in the status bar are clashing a bit with my preferred set up. Ideally I’d like to be able to change these independently but would also consider a complete theme if that was the best way.
Keep up the good work Tamirda!
About the noozioxide app ..yeah just uninstall it and you're good to go...
Regarding the theming:
Download the Assasins Full theme mod (
THEME_UR_ROM_ASSASSIN)
You'll have so much option to choose from.
And the same developer of the theme mod of assasins...has developed so many mods ....like gps changer...launcher changer...kernel changer...recovery changer...sound boost mod ( this one will helps you with the sound ) and much more i cant remember...just search the android developer forum of note 2 ..the member name is wisamothman...and his bro firas othman ....they are a very good developer team.
And they recently developed the assasins kitchen ....there you will find everything.
I hope i helped you out bro.
Have a nice day.
Best regards

Sure..you're good to go...i use phoenix v 11 too ....and themed my rom ... it is 100% compatible to any rom using tw 4.1.2 sammy rom. but be advice...before you flash anything to your rom...make a nandroid backup.

Being that I'm a noob (<10 posts), I can't post this in the actual ROM thread (mods, please move if you deem it appropriate).

Is that functionality available and I'm missing it in the settings?

Whenever you get a chance can you please let me know how's CM 10.2 working for you so far? I mean can that be used as a daily driver with major things (GPS, Bluetooth, NFL, camera etc) working without any issues. If so please let me know which nightly did you flash.
Thanks.

So far, CM 10.2 is rock-solid. I flashed The Sept 5 Nightly. Reason being - Friday gives me 2 days if something doesn't work.
I tried AOKP (too many options for me -- never thought I'd say that) and both Virgin and 'stock' GE (4.3) ROMs (a bit too stock for me).
I have so far set up email (GMail and Work using K-9 + Invitation Processor) and customized some options/appearance (cLock is da-shizznit). The camera works perfectly. I have not set up Bluetooth and not used GPS, yet, but will try both tomorrow on my way to/from work. One thing that I still need to figure out is the file-system layout inside Android (i.e. /storage/0 vs. /storage/legacy, etc...) as I'm apparently using 7.4GB out of 9.6GB available. This is probably because the stock T-Mo version left most of its guts behind and/or I incorrectly cleaned the device after having flashed all the ROMs.
One thing that I've noticed (with all the ROMs, except stock T-Mo) was that when you press the power button to lock/shut-off the screen, it ends up shutting off like an old-school TV. With the stock version, it would go dark seamlessly.
Regardless, I really enjoy having this phone now that I flashed CM on it. The fact that they provide an 'update-CM' option directly inside the settings is awesome in its own right. I'll update this thread once I give GPS and BT a run (can't promise I'll run TV apps on it, though -- that's not my cup-o-tea).
Best!
if you find certain things to be a bit buggy on CM, give Virgin Rom another try. the hardware elements of the phone work flawlessly. in an ideal world, someone would use Virgin Rom as a base and "Cyanogenize" it so that more things were customizable, such as Quick Setting toggles. CM is great, but the nightlies don't have the stability that the GE Roms have, obviously.
Thanks for your inputs...I guess back up of your old Roms may be eating up your internal space (if you have backed them up )...the old tv animation is the crt animation which Google introduced in ICS 4.0

Aaah! Good to know (about the TV animation).
I haven't backed up my old ROMs, but I'll definitely investigate space usage once I find some time.
Tested GPS and BT this morning: played a few songs over the car radio streaming over BT - awesome.
GPS is working good, too. I get a lock within 10 seconds of starting any app requiring GPS.
Thanks to all!

Even I flashed the RC2 last night. Using it for a few hours only, but it's rock solid as you mentioned.
