[LG Optimus 2x] unfugor:
coming back was harder than i thought. without too much thinking i installed cwm 4 from modaco, and that one has no support for ext4 it seems, so i had to find an ext3 rom, flash it, install rom manager, install cwm 5, and finally flash this kang, maybe we should write a new tutorial for people that never installed a custom rom before, because for a noob this could get ugly...

anyway, cm7 is running again, thanks to all devs and thanks to temasek for compiling and cherrypicking, its smooth and stable.
[LG Optimus 2x] Trystan34:
I think that is a good idea :)
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Known issue.

It was due to my imperfect porting of the status bar tweak. Should be fixed in next build (at least I hope cuz I haven't test it yet).
[LG Optimus 2x] Rezvonflux:
Sorry, didn't see the post. But, thanks foe the quick reply.... I'm a devoted ROM follower.
[LG Optimus 2x] cougarcougar:
I'll have a look at your github.. link me.

I think you have to turn off a wallpaper hack setting in adw launcher. Or choose a color (black) then make the alpha slide to 50% to 75 %. That will make it semi transparent.

There an app in the market called notification restart that does a soft boot and it should show the changes, otherwise a full reboot is needed.

There's another commit to impliment a softboot option, but i'm lazy on cm7 right now. Mainly working on cm9
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Thanks for dropping by :)

I don't upkeep a github for cm, I only use it for my kernel. :D

Anyway I've an issue. Whenever an app uses full screen and back to normal, the status bar will be white background instead (I've chosen default and transparent and still same results).
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
temasek's UNOFFICIAL BUILD RC1-97

I am starting to like these tweaks as I've now ......

1. Semi-transparent drop down notification

2. Centre clock with changeable colours

3. Working status bar (no more white status bar by using custom colours, choose black with alpha slide to 75%)

Fixed - Blurry status bar upon boot.

In short, so far everything works great!

NICE :D

As per request by Litderose, here is the build with the following items. Pls note that I may have ported it poorly.

I would like to hear your feedback if possible. To continue with this tweak or not? Let me know.

[LG Optimus 2x] mrgian:
wooooot downloading!!
[LG Optimus 2x] imars99:
will try now RC1-97 hopefully status bar bug fixed.;)
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Its fixed, no more blurry. Also note to select custom colour (black) and slide alpha to 75% for semi transparency.

Its nice :)
[LG Optimus 2x] rexren:
It seems alarm icon can't hide in build 97.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Nope, it can.
[LG Optimus 2x] rskyline:
Hi bro, long time not here, cause i've changed my o2x for an atrix but i turn it back again xD, so i just flashed this rom and now the statusbar is transparent! Thats normal?
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
CM Settings -> Interface -> Status bar tweaks

Play with it

I select status bar colour (custom -> black) with alpha slided to 75% and drop down notification colour as transparency. I have semi-transparency :D

Edit: oh btw u can have full transparency...too. but I rather hve semi traansparency.
[LG Optimus 2x] imars99:
Can someone share link of SmartShare app for current rom.Thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] eyronic:
It only works for stock based rom. AFAIK.

You can find the app on google if you wanna risk. The instruction on how to install it is also there.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
For my builds, new status bar mods...try play with the settings

Cm settings -> interface -> status bar tweaks -> status bar appearances ...... and status bar dropdown notifications background.

U can choose default, custom colour, transparent and also the alpha %.

Also u can select clock to be centre and its colour choice.

My own selections are

1. Status bar appearance -> custom colour black -> alpha slider @ 75%

2. Status bar dropdown notifications background -> transparent

You can download "Notifications restart" from play store to restart your status bar instead of rebooting.
[LG Optimus 2x] Litderose:
Temasek, i'm glad you like it !!! :):):)

#97 installed, works nice !

I tried your settings but my status-bar remain non-transparent unless i use the live wallpaper.

Also : i haven't found the wallpaper hack trick given by Cougarcougar.

But it's nothing, i'm really satisfied with this result !

Thanks again !

A little question : since the #94 build, I use the Pdroid version.

It's a great feature and really a "must have".

In association with LBE, my phone is well protected.

I saw you're building two versions but is there any performance impact if using the pdroid version without installing Pdroid?

I mean, perhaps you can only build the pdroid version, and let the user chose if he wants to install pdroid or not.

You may gain some time, no ? ;)

I have another idea for you... (another challenge ? :D)

But in fact, it's an old idea... See this post :

You do what you want, for sure ! ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
The above isn't a challenge, it is very easy. The status bar mods were a challenge. :)

Little to none impact if users not using PDroid app but using PDroid supported rom. Its just there were requests for non-pdroid roms so .....there u are ....

Btw I don't really have intention on picking the miui like battery bars.

Sorry.
[LG Optimus 2x] mrgian:
i cannot download build 97 using my mobile phone and wifi. i used my phone the last time i downloaded build 96.. weird..
[LG Optimus 2x] Litderose:
No matter, I have a replacement ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] niczzi:
Hi Temasek,

can you let me know the color value of the lockscreen? because i'd like to change the status bar color match with the lockscreen

I tried various values but the lockscreen is not quite transparent, is it blur?

thanks you
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
I downloaded from hopto earlier via phone and wifi. It worked fine.

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

I have strange stuff going on in my status bar btw. I turned off the transparency mods for both bar and notification area just to make sure.

Here's the wierd stuff:

When I open the Facebook app, the status bar turns to white.

When I open the Play Store, the status bar turns grey.

Anyone else having this?
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Yes its "normal" as per my earlier explaination.

Now u must set colour (eg black) and slide alpha to eg 50-75% to get back normal status bar. Its a trade-off. But I'll check and see if there's a fix for this.
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
Ah... Sorry about that. I thought only the fuzziness was the known issue.

Obviously, I was too excited to play with this new build that I fell victim to one of the forum faux pas that I dislike. Not reading the previous page well enough. :(

Thanks for your patience in continuously supporting us Temasek!
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Np :)

Btw I don't usually use themes. I like stock feeling with transparent dropdown notification. Its like cm6 back then. :D
[LG Optimus 2x] DcR-Nl:
temasak, thanks for all the time you've put into this one! I used to be a little skeptical about the stability of these 'unnofficial' CM7 roms, but you proved me wrong, this one runs smooth... :)

I've just installed RC1-97 and after changing the color of the clock I have to reboot to see the new color.. But when I switch the position of the clock - for example from the right to the center - it changes to the new color. When switching back it's the old color again. Wouldn't it be possible to make it refresh right after changing the color (without rebooting)?

When I enabled transparency for the statusbar and notification I end up with some errors (take a look at the attachments). The statusbar does however turn transparent when I enable a live wallpaper and during the lockscreen, in all other situation it doesn't. Maybe it's relevant to state I'm using the Ice9 theme. I do know I ain't the first one to notice this, just confirming.

Also, I can't seem to install and run Zoner AntiVirus on this rom. I've been using it on many roms and this one just refuses to cooperate. Anyone who can confirm this, please?
[LG Optimus 2x] mikle_01:
For me custom color doesn't work . Only transparent works; but the it's unusable....

I use ICS Theme (via buildin "Designs") and Widget Locker instead of build-in CM Lockscreen .
[LG Optimus 2x] Litderose:
To refresh, you don't need to reboot, see Temasek's post here :

I have the same problem when enabling transparency : i need to have a live wallpaper (see my posts above).

But for me, it'snot an annoying problem.

It's not relevant with you theme.

For Zoner AntiVirus, I can't say anything, I don't use any antivirus.

Cheers.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
1. Use "Notifications restart" or similiar app from Play Store" to restart your status bar. As such no reboot is required .

2. I tried several cm themes, the clock colour which I selected remains even though I set to center or unset it back to original right position.

3. Try setting the status bar to custom colour and select black then move alpha to about 75%. Select dropdown background to transparent.
[LG Optimus 2x] mrgian:
I guess its because of the internet connection on the main source.. Anyway, I have downloaded it already and gonna flash it later. :D:D:D I'll just post if I encounter any issue.
[LG Optimus 2x] DcR-Nl:
1. and 2. Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. The clock color does remain after a reboot or after using Notification restart. I just noticed that changing the position to the center also updates the color, thus it looks like it should be possible to change the code to update the color without needing to reboot or use Notification restart.

Wouldn't adding the following line inside the method observe() of

packages/SystemUI/src/com/android/systemui/statusbar/Clock.java fix this:

resolver.registerContentObserver(Settings.System.getUriFor(Settings.System.STATUS_BAR_CLOCKCOLOR), false, this)

I'm a real newb when it comes to Android programming, but I noticed that the center clock updates immediately and the 'normal' one requires a reboot or reset with the app. I now think it's caused by the missing observer. Please don't flame if it's a bad guess.:p

3. I tried, but problem remains the same. Doesn't turn transparent without live wallpaper and notification area is red. Though, in the theme I'm using the notification area is transparant by default so it ain't a real issue. Just doesn't look real nice.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
1. I don't quite get u. Changing of clock colour doesn't requires a reboot. It is instant change.

2. If u are using adw or any launcher that has a wallpaper hack, disable it. Actually I have it enabled and doesn't affect me in anyway.

May I suggest u change both status bar and dropdown to default, reboot or status bar restart, then do your settings again.

Edit: oh u referring to the normal clock. I'll relook into the source again these few days.

Edit: Yes you are right about the color of the normal clock, it doesn't change. I will sure look into it soon.

Thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] DcR-Nl:
1. Haha nice, no problem. :)

2. Disabling the wallpaper hack and following your suggestion indeed fixed the corruption. Thanks a lot!

Edit: Whoops, no it didn't fix it completely. The statusbar now appears transparant when I select Theme (default). When selecting Custom color (black 75% alpha) it isn't, not even a little. Notification area still red when selection transparent. Also tried wiping /cache and dalvik cache. But I don't care anymore, I can live with it.
[LG Optimus 2x] mrgian:
weird.. clock dont show up even the center option is check or uncheck. and, i cannot make my dropdown notif transparent or semi.. i guess ill go back to 96.. :(
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Read a few posts before yours.

Anyway more options may give some users confusion. That's probably why cm9 going for less options the better.

#97 is definitely better than #96. I fixed several items but still its not perfect.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Seems like quite a number of users having problems with the status bar mods. Do you guys wanna drop it?

I'm giving it a few days to fiddle with these builds and if still having issues then I'll revert.

Fwiw I don't have any issues with those mods.

Edit: I have a suggestion.

Since I make 2 builds per device. A wild suggestion.

1. Continue with status bar mods for all builds

Or

2. ONLY build with PDroid support has the status bar mods. The non-pdroid build remains using only cm source (no status bar mod)

Ideas?
[LG Optimus 2x] el_charlie:
Works fine for me,

But it was tricky to set it up. I guess, you can set the transparency as default on a next build so no user action required unless you want another set up (centered clock, differente colors, etc.)

Cheers!
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Setting it up is a one time thing. Subsequent flashing of new builds don't require setup again unless u wanna change it.

Personally I'm loving it.
[LG Optimus 2x] Litderose:
No, of course !

1 or 2. For me, it's the same :D

Maybe - if transparency is a real problem (but i don't think so !) - only keep the centered clock !

Agree with you, and if it is possible for Temasek, this can be a solution !
[LG Optimus 2x] el_charlie:
I know, and I'm loving it too, but maybe it's causing issues for some users so a predefined setup with the notification transparency would be fine for a new user.

Cheers!
[LG Optimus 2x] Litderose:
How you do that ?

:confused:

[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
I'm not exactly sure how to define it as default. Also the source codes seems to interlink both status bar, center clock and the dropdown notifications. If I remove one it might break another. Probably I'm weak in coding :p
[LG Optimus 2x] franky_z:
i would suggest to revert the status bar mod if its not stable. think more stability is better...

so i vote for 3.! ;)

update: perhaps the mod is possible as an additional .zip-file to flash for those who want it? only an idea...

For your info, the status bar work flawlessly for me and I'm in love with it. It is just the initial setup u have to fiddle with the right combination to get it working nicely for u.

Hi, Has any one installed the LG Cloud in his CM device?

It says that it is not compatible with mine.

(not that I don't have several other clouds in my phone, it it ...raining there! :D )
[LG Optimus 2x] mrgian:
i reverted to 96, and strange thing is there's a glitch on the status bar (like a bar code) and the settings for the mod is still there in cm setting. i did wipe cache partition and davlik cache. :(:confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
As I said a couple of times before, #96 has a bug on status bar blurry upon boot. Its fixed together with some other fixes in #97.

Don't use #96.
[LG Optimus 2x] mrgian:
reverted back to 94. :(
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Use #95

But why give up so easily?
[LG Optimus 2x] franky_z:
ok, thanks. sorry, but i´m a traditionalist, i need some time to get in use with new things ;) :D
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Hmm let me think thru and decide on what's next approach. Frankly I'm speechless. Either users don't read posts or they don't fiddle with their options enough. Such mods may not be perfect but its good.

Let these few days to give users time to play around with the new stuffs. I'll decide later. Those who don't like the new mods may revert to #95.

My most likely approach would be

1. Cm source build - Non-PDroid

2. Cm source build + external mods (PDroid + status bar mods + any external sources)
[LG Optimus 2x] Litderose:
Thank you !!!

It works well and now, i don't need the live wallpaper ! That's great !

Temasek, maybe we can do a "how to" to the users who have difficulties? (including me !)

Because once set, everything is working perfectly !

I think it would be a "shame" (strong word, I mean less than that) to remove these new features.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
I cannot be certain if its the mod or my implementation that have those "issues". Possibly my fault. I need to read thru the codes again but as I said b4 I'm no coder but I can read here and there. So possibly I missed adding some code lines or something.

As for temporary "How to" I'm kinda lazy. I've been posting bits and pieces of it everywhere. If users reads possibly they have no issues.

U wanna help write one? I'll place it visibly in the OP.
[LG Optimus 2x] mrgian:
ahaaaa!!! at last! i made it! placed clock on center (desired color), made dropdown notif transparent (desired color), made statusbar permanent (desired color). :D
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
The mods really works great once u do it right. I'm not near pc so I keep it short.

For all other users:

Troubleshooting tips

1. Set all back to default and reboot. Once bootup do your settings again.

2. Disable wallpaper hack option in your launcher.

3. For easy reference I use black as example. Set status bar background color as custom black. Slide alpha to 50-75%. Select dropdown background as transparent. Reboot.

3 easy steps
[LG Optimus 2x] mrgian:
i wanted to share my settings, the result of it, but, when tap the "camera" icon here in reply and upload from gallery, it says the file is wrong.

ill just post tomorrow morning my screenshots if ever they have hard time on setting up the new mod.

im goin sleep now. you must sleep too!
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Ok

Now I understand.

Have a sweet dream. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] esko1one:
Everything is working fine. Thx for this great mod temasek and pls dont revert it back. I love it because it gives me a bit more the feeling of ics. But ics is too unstable for me so i will stay with ur rom until LG trows out ics. Have a nice day.

---------- Post added at 01:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 AM ----------

For the record btw, I'm voting to keep the status bar mods.

It's kinda volatile, and not user-friendly enough. But it doesn't like, make people boot-loop and stuff. So if people don't like it, they can just set their custom color to black and work as if nothing was changed.

I have my clock centered, dark gray font color (to almost hide it when you're looking from afar). Then I have a Temasek-like set-up of black status bar and transparent notif area.

I need time but I can !

Let's go ! (I take most of your words!)

[B][SIZE="4"][U]Tricks and Tips for the status-bar Mod[/U][/SIZE][/B]

The mod really works great if you do it right.

[U]1/ Enable the transparency[/U]
You must disable the wallpaper hack option (thanks DcR-Nl) :
ADW (default launcher): Menu of the homescreen -> Settings -> ADWLauncher -> System Preferences -> Wallpaper Hack -> uncheck the box if checked

[U]2/ Status-bar appearance[/U]
Menu of the homescreen -> Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> Interface -> Status bar tweaks -> status bar appearance
Here, you have 3 options :
-> set Theme (default) : take the color of the theme (I guess...)
-> set Custom color : the color is your choice
-> set transparent : the status-bar will be transparent
Menu of the homescreen -> Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> Interface -> Status bar tweaks -> status bar background color
-> here, you can set your custom color and the alpha

[U]3/ The notification dropdown background[/U]
Menu of the homescreen -> Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> Interface -> Status bar tweaks -> notification dropdown background appearance
Here, you have 3 options :
-> set Theme (default) : take the color of the theme (I guess...)
-> set Custom color : the color is your choice
-> set transparent : the status-bar will be transparent
Menu of the homescreen -> Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> Interface -> Status bar tweaks -> notification dropdown background color
-> here, you can set your custom color and the alpha

At this point, Temasek's settings are :
- status bar background color as custom black with a slide alpha to 50-75%
- notification dropdown background as transparent

[B][COLOR="Red"]Important : to enable the changes, you have to perform a reboot (hot reboot works) or use the "Notifications Restart" app (see on the market).[/COLOR][/B]

[U]4/ Centered clock in the status-bar[/U]
Menu of the homescreen -> Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> Interface -> Status bar tweaks -> Center clock
Just check the box ! If you uncheck, the clock return to the right. Changes take effect immediately, no need to reboot.

[U]5/ Color of the clock in the status-bar[/U]
Menu of the homescreen -> Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> Interface -> Status bar tweaks -> clock color
-> here, you can set your custom color and the alpha
Tip : for those who are using an ICS theme, ICS color code is FF33B5E5

[B][U][SIZE="4"]Troubleshooting tip[/SIZE][/U][/B]
If you have any problem, set all back to default and reboot.
Once bootup, do your settings again.
And be sure you have disabled the wallpaper hack option in your launcher.

Temasek, you can do what you want with the above.

Cheers.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
You don't really believe that they'll keep their "2nd quarter" promise at all, do you - it's a shame that I don't trust LG anymore at all! :(

---------- Post added at 01:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 AM ----------

I think this sounds like a perfect solution. If the "clean build" users want PDroid they can still use the official patcher which works great (if you use Windows. If not I'm sure someone in this great community will provide the needed files).

Another thought: You need to care with the builds now, #100 should be a great and working one :D

I'll try to create a little temasek-bootanimation if you'd like. Nothing spectacular, don't have the time for that unfortunately.
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
the only glitch is that many people report issues with PDroid 1.32 smali patcher, although i am not sure about how well it behaves with CM7 ... :mad:

always much cleaner with source build ... (which is why i started porting ...) ;)

edit: for boot anim, maybe something with his avatar....
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
I used the patcher about 10 times with CM7 on the 2x and the nook color and never had any problems. Maybe the problems only occur with CM9?

For the boot animation: I already sent temasek two drafts - of course his avatar is included. If you want the preview just pm me.
