UPDATED - Onecosmic Mods Fixing Lost Status Bars

Finally! I figured out what I was doing wrong that caused lost status bars after flashing or when restoring from Nandroid backups. The issue was in the way I was signing the mods.

The Onecosmic ICS mods have been fixed. Unfortunately, you will need to download your updated mods of choice and re-flash them.

Note, I will be updating the ICS Passion v11 mods as I have time. Perhaps v10.6 will be updated. I haven't decided how long I'll maintain the Passion 10.6 mods.

MP :)

EDIT: ICS Passion mods have been re-signed and uploaded. Testing some of the mods now to be sure.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] xriderx66:
I don't think you should just waste your time updating mods for the older version roms.

People need to know that there are bug fixes in the new updates and it does more good than harm.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mr_psycho:
Agreed. I've pulled the 10.6 mods. I did leave the v10.6 stock battery up for those that still don't want to take the v11 plunge. At least they'll have a way to recover from lost status bars.

MP
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] HeavyA:
I was just taking screenshots of this to pose the same question. Thanks for asking first, so based on the response, I will reflash the mod and see if that fixes it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mr_psycho:
Download the updated one that I uploaded yesterday. I just tested it, and my icons were normal. Plus, the lost status bar issue has been fixed, so Nandroid restores are working.

MP
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Panamon:
Anytime I try and flash a centered mod I get a grey bar instead of icons.

It seems to remain until I get a message and then it is ok.

I observed this behavior on previous centered mods I tried with previous versions of Passion.

Standard mods of all types seem to work fine, just not the center mods Ive tried.

I always use CWM and have tried reverting to stock notification bar and then flashing center mods with the same results.

What could I be doing wrong?

(The attached images are lightened because I could not see them well enough on my monitor)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] HeavyA:
Update fixed it. Thanks for the fixes.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mr_psycho:
I will have to look into this one. I've never seen nor heard of an issue like this before.

MP
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Zeej:
I had the same issue when installing the exels mods. The exact same, noticed the dark lines going diagonally across the top bar. Stays that way until a notification comes up.

The iced honey mods have never done that for me.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Panamon:
Just tried Iced Honey Centered. Unfortunately same results.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mr_psycho:
I have tried multiple centered battery mods on ICS Passion v11, and I can't recreate the issue you are seeing. I have not seen any grey bar with banding. Everything simply works.

Are you using the old v11 mods I posted, or the ones that I uploaded yesterday?

Maybe you could also provide some additional detail about your Roms (eg. kernel, rom version, any tweaks made, cpu governors, info, etc.).

I'm running ICS Passion v11, with Nelson's Passion kernel 11 Beast #2. I'm not doing any OC, so I'm at 200-1000 mhz with Deadline I/O scheduler, and Ondemand CPU Governor. These are being applied at boot-up via Voltage Control Extreme startup service.

I'm gonna try and flash Nelson's v11b5 kernel that was recently posted.

MP
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Panamon:
I am not running any kind of cpu control. I am running juice defender but only recently. Everything else is pretty basic. As with the other person that is seeing this problem, I too have had this happen since the first time I tried the center mods by theexel back on V10.

Just yesterday I tried the Iced Honey Centered suggested by the other poster and though it worked for him, It did not work for me.

Oh well. The Passion ROM works remarkably well and I will never go back. Your fine full circle mod works perfectly and adds icing to the cake.

I can live without the clock being centered.

Thanks for your attention.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Zeej:
This was back on 10.6 with theexel's mods, I've just been using your mods since to avoid the issue.

NewBorn3 Battery Mod Added

By special permission, I've added a port of Perka's NewBorn3 battery. This battery is a work of art! Thanks, Perka and Htzs.

I'm really not sure what the issue here is. I still have yet to experience it. I'll keep looking for this.

MP
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] xriderx66:
No screenshots yet?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mr_psycho:
Sorry, not yet. Didn't have time. You can click the "source" link for NewBorn3 and do a search on Perka's page to get an idea of what it looks like. But, this one is pretty slick.

Maybe later tonight I'll up the screenies when I upload v2.0 of most of the battery mods for ICSSGS.

Changes:

1. Moved the quick-settings icon on the expanded status bar to the left.

2. Added some charging "flair". :D

3. Removed an errant icon from most of the mods.

4. Changed the filenaming scheme (again).

EDIT: Screenies uploaded. V2.0 mods uploaded.

MP
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Panamon:
Um... So center mods are working for me now. Here's what I did.

I wiped user data and caches.

Flashed Team ICSSGS RC3.1 to have a look see.

No gps signal. So as always, came running back to Passion.

Rebooted into recovery.

Wiped user data and caches.

Reflashed Passion v11 but did not allow it to boot.

Rebooted right back into recovery.

Wiped user data and caches.

Flashed ICS_Passion_v11b5_boot.zip kernel.

Wiped user data and caches again just for fun.

Performed First Boot.

Let it cook without interruption for 15 minutes.

Rebooted.

Waited another 15 minutes.

Logged into Google and restored apps with Titanium.

Rebooted into recovery.

Wiped Dalvik Cache.

On a whim FLASHED FULL CIRCLE CENTER MOD.

Rebooted.

Scratched head because this time Center Mod worked.

I have wiped user data and cleared caches many times before. Don't know why its working this time. Not complaining though. I love my shiny new center mod.

mr_psycho, thanks for all your help and hard work on these mods.

Okay. Should be fixed now. I'm not ICS Passion at the moment, so I can't check it. Feel free to test it out.

I used Mrvirginia's "Circle Battery" icons.

As long as you have 100 battery icons, 100 charging battery icons, and 1 unknown battery icon, you should be able to plug any battery into this (circle battery) SystemUI.apk and it "should" work.

Use Caution When Flashing v11 Battery Mods on v12!

The stock ICS Passion v12 battery was just added to the OP. In case of emergency (ie. you flashed a v11 battery over v12), use this to recover.

Personally, I always keep these stock batteries on my phone in case of emergencies. :D

MP

EDIT: So, I decompiled both SystemUIs (v11 and v12), and compared them. There are some differences in the PNGs, maybe they were optimized, but the images pretty much look the same. And there are a few smali changes. My gut is telling me that loading a v11 mod over v12 isn't enough to cause major problems. If anything, status bar customization may break.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] BoomBoomPOW:
Flashed the honeycomb bat over passion v12 and it's working fine. The icon is kinda big tho, making the status bar fatter..
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mr_psycho:
The new v12 stock SystemUI is about 300K smaller than the old v11 one. Any number of changes could have been implemented. The graphics could have been optimized, or changes to the smali and xml could have taken place.

In any event, you could be introducing subtle inconsistencies that altering your (user) experience, and could even cause rom instability. Maybe not now, but perhaps in a couple of days.

I can't/won't speak for Neobuddy, but imho, running the Rom this way voids any "support contract" with him. The Rom should be run as close to the offcial release as possible in order to report valid bugs, rather than ghost issues (however slight).

Still, I'm glad it hasn't caused major problems.

+ 1 Here...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] anorris666:
Why wait? I flashed ICS Passion v11 Friday, updated with one of these battery mods, flashed v12 Saturday when it came out. Then, realized that the v12 battery interface options didn't work yet, so I flashed the mr_psycho battery mod back in and have had no problems. :)

Take backups and experiment. It's not all that inconvenient to restore...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mr_psycho:
Seems like only the AM/PM clock option is functional in the status bar tweaks. So, if you can live without the AM/PM setting, then v11 mods should work. Eventually, I'll post a v12 mod that should give you battery mods + AM/PM. No ETA on this, though.

Good advice about backups/nandroids. Always take one before doing something potentially dangerous, or where results could be unknown/undesired with no clear backout option. I always take one right when I'm comfortable with the Rom/kernel/modem/mod combo I have.

Mr P
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mr_psycho:
Use Extreme Caution When Flashing RC3.1 Battery Mods on RC4!

I recommend AGAINST flashing RC3.1 mods over RC4. RC4 is odex, where previous releases were deodex. Not sure what effect this will have on your Rom.

Mr P

EDIT: Based on all the info I could find, it seems like most of the battery mods I have will cease to function on ICSSGS once RC4 is finally re-released. RC4 is odexed, and it seems accurate battery mods can only be ported to deodexed Roms. Unless someone knows otherwise, or ICSSGS is deodexed again.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] cccheel:
% off

F;ashed one of these and it will never charge to 100%. How can I tell if this nis an issue with the ROM or the mod?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mr_psycho:
More than likely it's the phone/battery. I charge my phone for several hours over-night, and mine almost always shows 100% in the morning. Some have had to do the bump charge technique. Try searching for posts on battery charging.

I'm too lazy to do that stuff, so I'll charge overnight, and whatever the phone shows in the morning is what it is.

The honeycomb centered works on ICSGS rc4
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mr_psycho:
I would have to port them to the CM9 framework. I've thought about it, but that's as far as I've gotten. It's hard keeping up with all the different ICS roms and the changes to the frameworks.

Maybe when things slow down a bit.

Mr P
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mr_psycho:
You are pretty gutsy mixing odex and deodex APKs. I've read that in other roms doing so caused lots of FCs, instability, and even boot-looping.

I just tried flashing iced honey through ROM manager to passion v12, did exactly as instructions say, but I got a Droid on his back and a red triangle exclamation out of his chest in cwm...had to pop the battery and everything was fine any clue what I might have done wrong?

Iced out passion ICS T959
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mr_psycho:
Not sure. I've never seen that. I flashed from v12 all the time this way. I guess make sure your CWM recovery is setup correctly in Rom Manager. Sounds like Rom Manager dropped you into some other mode (download mode?).

Another way to check is to go into Rom Manger and choose "Reboot into Recovery". If you get the same droid on his back, then you'll know that it's a Rom Manager issue. Which I would re-setup CWM Recovery (Flash ClockworkMod Recovery option).

Or maybe try the flash from CWM recovery via Power Off and then use the button combo to enter CWM Recovery.

Hi. Flashed neon ice on v12 and firstly the status bar was just grey line,after a few minutes of work with phone it appears to be fine. After reboot it dissapeared again. Need to mention that after flashing I saw power reset or unknown upload mode in recovery. Any advice?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mr_psycho:
Just to be clear, you flashed the v12 neonice battery on Passion v12, right?

Interesting. I still have yet to reproduce this grey bar anomaly. I've tried many times, and just have not seen it.

All the CWM updater-script does is display some text, mount /system, extract SystemUI.apk, unmount /system, display some more text. That's it.

Also, I've never seen that error in CWM, either. Sounds almost like a random glitch with CWM Recovery. Let me try it some more and see what I find.

Is it do-able or not worth the time?

Just wondering.. no worries if it is not worth the time..

I'm not sure where to even start to try to make one myself... lol
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mr_psycho:
It's doable. You are adjusting transparency in two of the .xml files, that's all. The question is how much transparency to do.

I see mods where the status bar and notification area are 100% transparent, and others where it's only like 20-30% transparent.

I'll see about offering a couple with transparency. Which mod are you using?

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] clutz2000:
I am currently using Neon "Ice Cream" Battery - Normal. I like it the best. I could got back stock / no battery mods to get the transparency :D

Thanks of even considering it.

(I would try to edit the XML files myself if I knew which ones / where they are.. and backup first... because I am sure I will kill something.. lol)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] lazynoob:
just finished flashing the icy honey battery mod. great work. real easy to do and works great. do i have to revert to stock battery before updating to a newer ics rom? or can i just flash right over it? i'm on ics passion v11 so when i decide to flash v12 what should i do?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mr_psycho:
Yeah. You gotta be careful decompiling/compiling stuff. I've mangled the SystemUI plenty of times. You have to make sure you can access CWM Recovery, and have a known, good backup (or flashable fix) handy.

Unfortunately, there's so many ways to implement transparency. Full 100% transparency, or just subtle transparency. I adjusted some of the values for the notification area to what I thought looked okay. I'll post one you can try and see if that works for you. It's not full trans, but it's much more than it was at stock.

I have not had any success with making the status bar transparent. I see icons underneath, almost like there's a status bar on top of a status bar. Strange.

You can just flash a new ICS Rom over the top. No need to go back to stock first. The new Rom will simply install it's own framework and packages, anyway. You will, however, need to get the v12 battery mod if you want the AM/PM clock option under v12.

MP
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] lazynoob:
great! thanks man, you rock!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mr_psycho:
You should note that most Roms recommend you to do a full wipe before installing. At the very least, format /system and you can guarantee that any previous mods are gone.

However, even without formatting /system, the new Rom's SystemUI.apk will overwrite the modified one.

Transparency Test

Here's a battery mod test that I made where the notification and expanded status bar window has more transparency. The battery mod is "Neon Ice" normal.

A screenshot is also attached.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] clutz2000:
I think we might be thinking about different areas. I am talking about the bar at the very top, that has the battery, gps, time, etc icons. I am fine with the notification area itself.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mr_psycho:
Yeah. Transparent "status bar" has been a problem (for me). That's the one I mentioned previously where I see multiple overlapping status bars. Not sure why it's not working for me. I've seen other people do it for other Roms, but I haven't been able to figure it out, yet.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mr_psycho:
I finally got it. It was tricky, because SystemUI was compiled without Transparency support.

9-patch png in the zip was malformed. Even after fixing it, transparency wasn't working. However, following Pendo's transparency thread, I managed to update the smali code. It's working now even without the 9-patch png.

As time permits, I may put some transparent versions of specific mods up.
