Ok, just been giving it a quick go so far and it seems better than the other 2 status bar apps of yours. The notifications change much quicker like wifi turning on and off etc. as has been said in this thread already, GPS (EDIT, sorry meant the GPS icon stays on all the time) and bluetooth icons are missing and just a few of the other things. Also still get that jitter/lag when scrolling through homescreens and the app drawer (apex) on my htc one S stock, the app (with ICS theme) consumes around 28MB.
[Android Apps and Games] santinel1:
when data is disable you still can make a phone call or send sms or recive phone call or sms..........so you have network signal! It soppose to show the network signal like the original status bar and when the data is enable too show the data icon.....
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
OH OKAY! I get what you mean now! I will make that switch now and fix it. Thanks for letting me know :D
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Yes, that is possible. But do we do it? No. We are not interested in your info nor do we need it. But to answer your question, it can be done and has been done by malicious apps. The only reason we need the Accessibility Control is to read incoming notifications so it can be displayed. We dont save the notifications and send it to a server.

Keyboard apps can read your touches though and read what you are typing. Most like SwiftKeyboard will not do that. But you never know...
[Android Apps and Games] santinel1:
Any time and good job is better than ics status bar and jelly bean status bar . If you make that fix can you put an icon to show when the data mod is enable?

Another thing is that is no show the alarm clock icon and the bluetooth icon, and i'm NOT SURE but it can be a little batterydrain if i choose to display the battery percentage at least the proces "Sistem Android" increase slightly 13%14% bunt NOT SURE iet .

Another idea would be to include the settings that users can choose text color of the status bar, I saw it in another application and it's really great, almost no need theme, choose the color you want to have the clock, battery , signal bar ............
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
I know what app you are talking about. I understand that, but the fact of having themes that ANY one can make is the min idea. It opens the possibility of different styles.

But yes, Bluetooth and Alarm are being added today as well as a battery charge bar.

Battery Percentage text does cause drain for some reason, so i usually keep mine off. I will have to look into it.
[Android Apps and Games] santinel1:
i hope you find the problem at battery drain for battery percentage is a greate thing for stock roms to view the battery percentage without another app.
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
I think i solved it. update tonight :good:
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Battery Bar being added as well
[Android Apps and Games] MattSkeet:
at the moment i dont like it. statusbar covers part of the shortcuts on JB and somehow i have GPS icon constantly enabled
[Android Apps and Games] fcpelayo:
This looks nice!
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Please read the other posts. The GPS fix is coming. If you dont want the icon, disable google services under the GPS and Location settings or hide the indicator. We put the options there for a reason ;)

And the JB fix is next!!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] santinel1:
When will you launch the update on android market?
[Android Apps and Games] bojler:
Ldpi support?

any chance of supporting LDPI devices? because status bar icons are too blurry on my sony ericsson x10 minipro
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
Running on GB 2.3.6.

Half of the ongoing notifications aren't displayed at all. The others are displayed in a strange manner (there's always a counter next to the icon even tho only 1 notification exists).

Also, it seems to be constantly restarting, which causes all (displayed) icons to disappear and take ~10seconds to reappear, but that's probably of my lower end phone.

Other than that, it's pretty lovely and I'll enable it again once the above issues are fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] moneymike55:
Can you send me a PM with a screenshot of your phone running the statbar with as many of the indicators enabled as possible? I've been worried about this because we don't have an ldpi test device so I was hoping someone here would confirm it, but it will be an easy fix once I see exactly how far off they are.
[Android Apps and Games] MovieGene:
I've got the same issues running stock ICS on an HTC Sensation

[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
This is due to a few reasons. A task killer is trying to kill it or you are low on ram.

Omega StatusBar is designed to automatically reboot when destroyed, causing it to flash and well...reboot. So make sure to exclude for task killers and check your ram!
[Android Apps and Games] #illidan:
+1
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
That was helpful. Any screenshots or better examples?
[Android Apps and Games] santinel1:
When can we have on market the update with the fix for battery drain and missing icons?
[Android Apps and Games] #illidan:
As helpful as your reply to the email I sent with a bug report? Oh wait that's right, I never got a reply!!

Everybody possess a certain degree of sarcasm but let's not get into that now.

I though you were aware of the issue so that is why you skipped over that part of the post & just wanted to let you know it wasn't an isolated issue but since you don't here you go.

Example: Normally I have avast!, Screebl, 3g watchdog & Onavo Extend in my status bar but in Omega I just have 3g watchdog & everytime the data counter on 3g watchdog gets updated in the notification drawer a notification count badge gets attached to 3g watchdog in the status bar which doesn't happen on the stock status bar. Have attached screenies.
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Dang! Got enough security going on there? Just kidding.

No, really, when did you send that email cause i never got an email with a bug report. Seriously.
[Android Apps and Games] #illidan:
Well if your talking about the VPN then that is for Onavo Extend which helps reduce data consumption & not for security, don't need that level of security for now at least.

I sent the email to support@calsto.com on the 13/08 around the time the app released. This email address is listed for support in the app page on the Play store. Is that the wrong one?

I know the app is a WIP & I don't expect miracles from it but I'm sure it will get there with time because right now it looks really promising & to support you'll I brought the app on the 13th itself.

Also another bug report that the notification for a screen shot doesn't show.
[Android Apps and Games] M@31:
Ive also purchased this app, hoping that the bugs will be fixed. I put my faith in you guys....

When will the update be coming to remove the GPS stuck on the screen?

Also, I have downloaded the ICS and Jellybean Themes......they are identical.

I have tried a few times and each time, the Themes look exactly the same. I am running SGS III (Korean) LTE with a custom Kernel if that has anything to do with it.

Ohh, also the alarm clock still isn't appearing in the notification bar.
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
That is a very goo observation :good:

But...some people prefer the new styled USB and debugging icons. So if you wanted that, i guess JB is the better option.

I appreciate your support guys! I just finished the battery bar that is similar to Charge Bar the app, and it looks awesome! Now i am finishing upo the custom notification icons. The GPS is fixed and ready as well. Its about 415am, so i am going to get some sleep real quick :P
[Android Apps and Games] santinel1:
look forward the update promised 2 days ago to solve the problem of battery drain when the battery percentage is displayed, and the disappearance of signal bar when data is disabled.
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Nice one. Sort of busy and have stuff to do...you know...life? Anyways, simple fix for battery drain is to diable the percentage.
[Android Apps and Games] santinel1:
Nice sarcasm! Why de hell pay for an app and then disable it !?
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
Seriously dude, he's just asking for some time, he has a life too.
[Android Apps and Games] trooperjohn:
Downloaded and tried was extremely impressed, therefore downloaded the pro version!
[Android Apps and Games] condor97:
I have to say I really like this app. Started with the JB and ICS status bars and moved to Omega pro. Are you still considering putting in pulldown notifications in it to mask the stock pull down? Great job.
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Yes we are. Its pretty difficult due to the changes in 4.0+, but we are figuring it out! The pro key is going to unlock a few new features in the pro version.
[Android Apps and Games] M@31:
Love the app!

So much so, I bought the pro key!

What kind of extra features are you looking at for pro?

Also, quick question...maybe I am missing something.

I get the notifications no problem, but when I pull down the task menu and select "clear" the notifications do not clear.

They stay in the notification bar until I actually open the program.....am I missing something? If I select clear, shouldn't they clear from the bar?

Also, I use Tasker. But for some reason, I keep getting notifications appearing on the bar for Tasker.

Tasker does not have any notifications at all....It has just an icon the appears in the staus bar. For sure reason, there is always a small "2" over top of the Tasker icon in the status bar....but Tasker doesn't have notifications....It is always just running.

Ill take a screen shot if I can and post it....
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Charge bar or battery bar and custom notification icons are being added now. I got back this evening from being across the state so i had little time to work today. But, the new template and update are pretty much ready.

About your question, it is impossible for us to know when a notification clears. We can only tell when the app is opened. I know its annoying and sucks, but that is the way it is.
[Android Apps and Games] badmoj0:
Are you saying that the problem with stuck notification icons in the statusbar cannot be fixed?
[Android Apps and Games] Thatgrass:
Awesome statusbar
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
No. All i am saying is that it is impossible to tell when a notification is cleared since it is a security risk apparently. So you must manually open the notification...which you should do. What if it was important! :p
[Android Apps and Games] M@31:
I have no problem with that, for the most part.....

My problem is mainly with Tasker. It has no notifications.

But it seems that anytime one of my tasks is run (example - auto sync once an hour) it shows it as a notification.

Tasker does not have any notifications, but they keep popping up........

It should do this when a task is run inside of Tasker.
[Android Apps and Games] SmoothB:
Really like the statusbar, but I'm having an issue. I placed Lookout in the apps to ignore list, but I'm still seeing the notification. Other than that, everything works great.

Edit: Actually I think I resolved the issue. I had selected to always display the status within the Lookout app itself. Once I changed that, no more issues. Great app!
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
I just fixed the ignored apps error for the update. I have been busy with new emails. I have to go through almost 1500 and most are all support requests lol...so they shouldn't take long. Most are the same thing.

THe new template is awesome though. You can now have custom icons for any notification :good:
[Android Apps and Games] M@31:
How goes the updates? Can't wait!
[Android Apps and Games] Gnaver:
Waiting for the update. I'm using notification toggles from javelin but when i ignore it it still indicate actions. When clock on disable wifi it show four notifications...and even icon switch when going from mobile net to wifi I'd broken for me. It takes more than a minute before the icon of signal type changes. Otherwise its really great, never hoped its coming :)
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
I've decided to give it a try again.

Good news: it's only restarting when I'm editing the settings (even if I'm just starring, not changing anything), so that's no longer a problem.

Bad news: not all notifications are shown. Even Whatsapp notifications aren't always shown. It's set as an accessibility app already. Also, and this is bugging me even more, I've disabled notification counts and I still see them. Put my phone to charge yesterday. Woke up today: My Data Manager shows "1205" counts in the bubble, "JuiceDefender" around 50.

I hope you can fix that :)
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Thanks for the feedback. I will fix that real quick. I never noticed that part of it, so like i said, thanks for the feedback. Its been a busy week unfortunately :-/
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Update is ready and is being uploaded.

Here is a screenshot of the battery bar i was talking about.

We added a new fix for Bluetooth since it was a huge request. We also added a new way of limiting the number of notifications that occur. Such as a block of 3 notifications before it overloads. This will prevent overlapping of the statusbar.

BATTERY BAR! (The battery bar may be hard to see on the screenshots...but it is light blue)

BATTERY BAR ON THE BOTTOM!
[Android Apps and Games] javitogomezzzz:
it doesn't work well on a Motorola XT860

it flashes constantly between the stock blur bar and this one, it gets pretty annoying
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Thats because it is being shutdown by a task killer or the device is low on memory and is cleaning up the services. The statusbar is designed to reboot. DO you have enough ram or a task killer?

We cant control what the system does, so we cant make it constantly on if the system is trying to crash it.
[Android Apps and Games] Intruder7s:
Running it on CM 7.2 ( nook tablet 16GB ) works fine BUT lowering the dpi ( from 160 to 130 ) causes fc. Actually the app does even start. It instantly closes.

Another think I noticed...using a tablet I have my status bar at the bottom so when I changed my dpi back to 160 although omega status bar was working fine I had 2 status bars! So 2 options that I find usefull.

1 ) add option to have the status bar at the bottom and

2 ) add option to "kill" the system status bar.
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Yeah, it only supports the general dpi..of course.

But good idea for placing it on the bottom!!! I will do that!

For your next suggestion...not possible. I cant kill the stock statusbar or make it go away.
[Android Apps and Games] Intruder7s:
So it is placed on top of the stock one ( if we suppose the stock one is on top ) right?

Thanks for your answer!

P.S. any chance of it supporting other dpi values in the future ? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] KeylanHalfdan:
I saw another app on xda that has to do with hiding the status bar. I am just throwing an idea of there, but would it be possible to hide the original status bar and have yours show up with different size options? Or would that not be possible?

[Android Apps and Games] condor97:
Another thought. In some launchers you can disable the status bar permanantly.

1. In addition to the above...In some launchers you can disable/hide thestock status bar. Would it be possible to have the option to place the status bar on the bottom if the status bar is supposed to be on top with the stock status bar disabled through the launcher.

2. Would it be possible to have the option to change colors of the status bar without changing themes. For instance... Say I picked the jelly bean theme, but I wanted the status bar to be grey instead of black and the icons in the status bar (clock, signal, etc.) white instead of blue.

Just some thoughts. Keep up the good work, I enjoy this app.
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
I will definitely look at that app to see what they did. Is it for root only?

Most launchers allow you to hide the statusbar, but it will usually only hide it within the launcher. Once you launch another app that is "FULL SCREEN", the statusbar should reappear since the launcher is no longer the top activity. Hope that made sense. I havent played with trying to make the statusbar disappear permanently by making the service for the overlay FULL SCREEN, but i doubt it will work since it really isn't an activity...just a view that overlays what ever it wants :p

In Android 4.0 and 4.1, Google has made the overlays even more strict so you can no longer have a clickable overlay. This would make it difficult to make a custom pull down menu. Not sure what the heck Super Statusbar did.
[Android Apps and Games] KeylanHalfdan:
I found the app here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28694868

[APP] GMD HideBar

It looks like it does require root, but perhaps you could add that feature for people with root.

Keep up the good work

[Android Apps and Games] Floppy454:
So, just got the app and I think its a fantastic idea and you did it well. However, I can't get it to show GoSms Pro notifications on it. I'm running gingerbread on a Samsung Epic 4g. Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Thats weird, it should be just a normal notification...right?
[Android Apps and Games] Floppy454:
Yeah, should be. I tried it with pro and with lite, neither allowed me to see them. This app would be a no brainer buy for me if not for this little snag.
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
I will download them and test it out. That is weird why it wont show the notification for them...
[Android Apps and Games] Floppy454:
It won't show any notifications actually. Only the system ones on the right side and the USB charging icon, no global notifications. Hope you can work it out, or tell me what I'm doing wrong at least.
[Android Apps and Games] ixijimixi:
I did a quick search, but couldn't find the answer for this.

Will this app allow you to center your clock on the Status Bar, or does that require ROM support?
[Android Apps and Games] Joker73R:
I've tried this app and needs stability improvements, sometimes shows default status bar, or doesn't show signal icon... Also, GPS icon is always shown, even when I haven't connected it.

If you just improve stability of this app I'd say it's the better status bar for android.

Also, when will be updated??
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
The GPS is known. Just diable the contant google services.

The default statusbar will shown when this statusbar is rebooting. It will reboot due to being killed by the system or a task killer. We can do anything about it except tell it too reboot when it does get killed. Sorry
[Android Apps and Games] Joker73R:
After long testing, I can say that its quite stable, only shows default status bar when switching between options in the app. Expecting an update!
[Android Apps and Games] a-base:
Hello.

Just wanted to say that I bought this app yesterday and am really happy with it so far! I have been looking for a custom status bar for a long time (for non-rooted device) and this is the first one I am satisfied with, great work!

Two issue's I have is that the bar says I'm on 4G network while I'm on a 3G network and the notification counters keep adding up whilst they are not supposed to. Mind you I open the app every time and don't dismiss notifications by swipe so that's not the cause.

I hope this app really takes off and more people start making themes. As I use iLauncher I would love to see a theme that really looks exactly the same as the light iphone status bar like the one below. If that can be done I would gladly pay 10 bucks for it :D

Keep up the good works guys, please don't let your spirits die because of complaining people. Good things take time!

[HTC Sensation] SsBloodY:
Hi I am getting random shutdowns quite often. I've noticed that they start to appear more often when I travel. Before CM9 I was with ARHD and it was rare case my phone to shut down randomly but it happened and sometimes it happened more often. With OpenSensation|CM9 RC1 in the begging it was quite rare. But the last 10 days it was too often so I decided to switch to CM9 RC2. Today I wiped data, cache and dalvik installed CM9 RC2 and Google Apps. Restored data from Titanium (only the green things) and apps (I even removed SetCpu because i thought it could cause it) and I am not overclocked. And I began charging to calibrate battery but I had to do some stuff so twice for a couple of minutes I removed phone from charger and started doing some things and twice it shutdowns. So here is a logcat:

http://pastebin.com/ep7zMJwN

After that twice more I had to disconnect from charger and take a picture with flashlight and both times right when I take the picture the phone shutsdown. And after I start it again I can take a picture without a problem. Here is a logcat from the second it crashed after taking picture:

http://pastebin.com/Zk4FgKK5

My Specs:

ROM: CyanogenMod 9 RC2

FIRMWARE: 3.32.401.x & 3.32.401.10x

KERNEL:

Original

Battery: Anker
[HTC Sensation] Jwtiyar:
If u search in forum u get some answers , you can add small piece of plastic or paper to behind phone between battery and phone. I think u get better cauz i fixed it by this.
[HTC Sensation] SsBloodY:
Thanks but I don't think this is the problem. The anker battery is standing in it's place very thigh and can be moved even slightly. I think it might be some kind of voltage drop. I've experienced this when I stress the phone after sleep. Like the case with the taking picture with flash right after I remove it from charger. I noticed also when it was at sleep and I wake it up launch browser (for instance) than quickly minimize turn music and launch something else (all for instance I mean when I multi-task after phone has been to sleep) it goes shutdown. Also I noticed when it shutdowns once i should expect some more in the next hour or two. And finally which is a bit strange it shutdowns when I travel. I went skiing in the mountain shutdowns the summer I went on tourism the same place I went skiing again shutdowns. I travel with a train to the sea again shutdowns in the train. At the sea no shutdowns!?
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Perhaps give another Rom a try and see if you are still experiencing the force closes or shut down ? I was running a Rom and was experiencing the same as you described with bouts of freezing of my Phone and freezing of my proximity sensor. This would happen 5 to 10 times a day. Finally I flashed a different Rom to see if it would help my issues and my device returned to normal. No force closes or freezing anymore so in my case it was Rom related. It wouldn't hurt to give it a try and see if that solves your issues. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
[HTC Sensation] Jwtiyar:
Ok gove a try to another ROM .
[HTC Sensation] SsBloodY:
Happened in other ROMs too. I will give it under warranty soon some guy said they changed his motherboard and it was okay after.
