hey steve, why is it tht whenever i restart my phone the status bar doesnt show up until i get a notification?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
thats definitely not right..

I know.. I need to fix that!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shehroze3:
Nope still same problem. It just shows up as a black bar with no icons on it until i get a notification. I can pull down the notification pulldown though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
Man.. I hate to say this but you probably need a completely fresh flash.. maybe a rogue app or some other process..

Alright.. Thanks for trying to fix it though
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrgnRebrn:
Steve - Thanks for the custom pulldown bar, it looks great! After I pushed that system.apk and rebooted though, I have absolutely nothing showing on my status bar, regardless of having received notifications, or not. I have rebooted again, just to see if that would fix my issue. Also, can I flash a right-clock mod and not risk losing the customization?

....Except I just palm-swiped this screen shot and now everything's showing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Root:
He hasn't thanked you because he knows she'll find it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
sweet pulldown
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrKaotica:
Lol I just re did mine..

Flashing any of the battery mods reverts it obviously.. :rolleyes:

does anyone else want one? i feel pretty special that after almost two years of flashing i finally figured out how to do this.

if so you'll need to include which battery mod you want and center clock or right clock :)

and you have to know how to push to /system/app cause i dont know how to make flashables
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gyrra:
I too have the notification issue,

Sometimes it works after a reboot, sometimes it doesnt.

Any toggling won't fix it (not even airplane mode).

I'm not sure if "preparing network" is not activating, but once I see that, my notification bar works fine.

I have many apps (450+) and about half are frozen until needed.

My last install was completely clean, no data restore and md5 confirmed. (5.2 blue)

I suspect wifi connection is indirectly related, as if a tiny delay in process handling is allowing it a chance to correctly load.

Again when I see the message about "preparing network" the notification bar works 100% afterwards.

I can't pull a logcat at since I'm not home and my on phone app is generating a huge file size.

Any questions or possible suspicions you would like to test, feel free to send a pm, although I can't ever say when I would be able to read, much less test.

Hope this helps.

(And no, this really doesn't bother me, I just decided to offer up all info and data I have at this point)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
I am fairly certain that it has something to do with the center clock mod. Those with the issue, flash right clock in post two.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fergie716:
Yea the reference to status_bar_background.png to get rid of the overlapping ticker text and the clock is probably causing it. Usually it goes away if you get a notification. If my status bar disappears I just restore an app with Titanium Backup and it comes back
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrgnRebrn:
I agree. When I flash right-clock mod, the problem goes away. That's why I was asking if flashing right-clock would undo my sig pull down bar.

Thoughts?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrKaotica:
+1 I never have the issue and I use right clock

It does undo it yes as it replaces systemui. I can redo it for you tho with a right clock mod one
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrcollpepper:
I have not had this problem as of yet. And I have the center clock mod.

sent from your mom's room
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrKaotica:
I'd flash this: original blue battery with clock on right (thanks pjjohn73)

then heres your modded system UI.. push this to system app for your custom signature in pulldown

oh.. and back up first :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gyrra:
Interesting,

As recommended I flashed 2nd post clock flashable and notification bar was available AT lockscreen.

BEFORE "preparing network" message came up.

Good eye Steve.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Klutch84:
I don't know if it has anything to do with the rom but I haven't been able to view media (songs/videos) on the Tumblr for Android app since v4.8

Everytime I try to view media on the Tumblr app, it redirects me to the browser (which has crappy controls) instead of playing in the native android video player. Is anyone else having this problem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Forever Justice:
i said same about bluetooth maybe different but if it doesnt work...it wont hurt anything....go to recovery advanced and try reset permissions...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GMschiller:
Hi. So far I really like this rom. I've tried Jellybomb 5.0 and this one. Both are neck in neck as far as I can see. This one just has the right color blue that I was after. And it seems like the blue theme is a little more complete.

My problem is my WiFi tether. I cannot for the life of me get it to work. It's not the rom's fault I don't think. It's been hit and miss across several different Roms to include the stock rom freshly rooted. None of the WiFi apps I've tried have worked... but wait. When I turned on the Sprint WiFi tethering service for a few days that worked great. SOOOOO, I don't know. Thoughts? Oh, I've also tried several help guides in these frums related to this question. Sometimes WiFi tethering works... sometimes it doesn't.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
How do you guys feel about a blue line inbetween notifications?

more subtle.. of course
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
I have decided on a mild line between notifications

This will be SystemUI change on the next update..

Those with custom pulldown sigs can easily transfer the image.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GMschiller:
I like it. I also like the subtle fade at the bottom. Wish I could get that same exact them in my Handcent and native messenger... gmail also. Maybe that's just me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrgnRebrn:
I like them too. Need to get my cust pulldown sig back, with a right clock and original circle battery mod though. The stock battery mod I flashed earlier wasn't the right one.

Can't wait for the update!

[Q] Can I update OdexedBlue apk's using the apk multi-tool from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1310151

I feel like I'm the only one that doesn't know how to edit the pulldown bar sig, and I'm not too comfy feelin' so dependant on other's time. So I'm trying to research how it's done.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pjjohn73:
Looks good

What was the stock battery mod you flashed? Is tge one in my signature wrong?

Pulldown.. everybody is gonna have my name on it.. haha
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrKaotica:
U should be able to just push that sysui I posted a while back.

I was able to to mod apks with a script called apk manager.. basically you pull the system ui from the ROM..

Decompile it with the script. Mod or replace whatever pngs you want. Recompile it and push to system app..

The hardest part is going through pngs to find what you are wanting to change.. there is a ton of stuff in these system apks

Also.. I did this with a ported version of he script to a Mac.. I have to assume its more refined in a windows version
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrgnRebrn:
I already found the correct png.

The original battery mod I flashed earlier is a 1.5v battery image, blue of course, but it is not the circle battery that comes with the ROM. That is the stock blue circle battery mod file.

I figured that was the process - extract apk, find the png, modify, repack apk, sign, and push using Root Explorer. I already found the png (took awhile, but I found it) and I've been reading up on how to do the rest. I don't want to mess up my phone though, although I've already got a nandroid, so I guess it's time to play...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrKaotica:
Ohhh I got ya.. you know.. that's probably my fault.. I linked to to the wrong battery mod to flash last night maybe?

One of the mods in pjjohns dropbox restores the original odexed blue battery.. woops!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
When I say Blue, I don't mean "ICS Blue" because that **** is teal in my book

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrgnRebrn:
Have you updated SU & BusyBox? I've found that updating those often will fix quirks when trying to use apps requiring root access. After I set mine to the SGS3 profile I've had no problems either.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mpcdata:
actually you can use 7zip to replace the png file in the apk. thats about as simple as it can get.

New SystemUI for next update

Here is the new SystemUI that will go into the next update. This is for you guys that want to jump on the battery mods and pulldown customization.

I have updated my link to Steves current systemui.apk (Thanks Steve)

I have the update in the update folder. I have all battery/clock mods updated also. They should work fine from version 4.7 to current Update to 5.2

I renamed the "Original Blue" Battery Mod to "Epic Touch" Battery Mod so as not to be confused with the "Stock" Mod.

I will be updating LG8 one more time soon with some theming updates to several apps and updated Nova.

I will NOT be updating to any new ICS roms OTA or otherwise. Its just too much work with JellyBean around the corner.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
I finally nailed this last SecEmail edit will post an update tonight.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Forever Justice:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
Quite honestly.. I dont care because I finally feel like I got everything right now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mmayo01:
This may be a noob questions, but with this new OTA coming out and understandably you not doing another ROM update for the OTA, would I be able to advance restore my data if I went back to stock to update OTA or is a lot of the data going to require your rom and LG8?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
Update 9/19 5.2 to 5.3

If you are currently on my 5.2 odexed blue rom and want to update to 5.3, just flash this zip in recovery.

Changes include:

Updated Nova to 1.3 beta7 themed

Theme changes to the following:

SystemUI - Blue separator line between notifications, blue Auto text

SecSettings - Darker blue usage stat bars (get that ICS teal outta here)

SecEmail - Booyah

ContextAwareService - Just looks nicer!

This will be my last official ICS update. I do not plan on updating the rom again until JellyBean OTA. If you choose to leave for the ICS OTA, you will get to remember how fugly stock is :)

DOWNLOAD
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mmayo01:
Yea yea yea....i know I would have to deal with the fugliness, but Boston finally got 4G up, so I would almost deal with the fugliness if Jelly Bean isn't going to be released for a while to get better 4G connectivity, but this really didn't answer my question. I asked if I could still advance restore data from a NAND i did with your rom after I go back to stock for the OTA or if the data is proprietary to your rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
I can not possibly see how increased 4G LTE connectivity would lie within the rom. I would think that the kernel, radios, and modem are at play with that. As far as your data, you will be fine.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mpcdata:
OK guys here in a bit when i get 5.3 non gnow lined out I'm going to do a tutorial on how to edit and keep your custom sig pulldown and battery mods. The programs you will need is 7zip for working with the apk, photoshop, gimp, or paint.net if you plan on doing your own custom sig pulldown. Photoshop is the only paid app in the list the rest are free, just google or bing their names and you can find their respective home sites for download. I will follow up with the instructions in a bit.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mpcdata:
OK guys here we go. I'm assuming you have installed 7zip and are ready. The first thing you need to do is have a program like rom manager on your phone. You need to navigate to system/app and copy your SystemUI.apk to your sdcard so you can get it to your computer. Once on your computer (your desktop is a good place to save it to) you need to right click on it and select 7zip from the menu and open archive Once the archive is open navigate to the res/drawable-xhdpi folder and select the tw_status_bar_close_on.9.png and drag it to your desktop so a copy will be placed there. Next if you would like to save your battery mod while your saving things go to the res/drawable-hdpi and drag that folder to your desktop. Be sure everything you do is with the res folder DO NOT mess around in the assets or META-INF folders! Close the 7zip window. Now that you have everything saved to your desktop you can get the SystemUI.apk from the new rom or update file and open it in 7zip. Navigate to the res/drawable-xhdpi folder and then drag your saved tw_status_bar_close_on.9.png file from the desktop to the 7zip window and select yes you want to copy it there. It will replace the file in the folder with your saved one. If thats all you want to do you can close 7zip and copy the SystemUI.apk back to your phone and then with rom manager move it to system/app set your permissions for the file and reboot. If you would like to do your battery mod folder also then while in 7zip simply delete the drawable-hdpi folder and then drag your saved folder from your desktop to the 7zip window. Any questions shoot me a pm and I will try and get together with you and do what I can to help you out.
