Hi, i tried your links and the both give servor errors. So i went to the play store and searched. Am installing it now and will update later. Looks really good. Are there any other themes yet?
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
We just published a few themes tonight so they should be available. We are very busy and both full time students so we are relying on you guys to help out making themes! Please.

Try this link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.calsto.omega.statusbar

Remember, its still a beta. Open to suggestions. Get battery drain? Disable the battery percentage text.
[Android Apps and Games] _FroX_:
Thanks! I'll try it, for stock roms is perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Perfect! We are releasing more themes tomorrow as well :D
[Android Apps and Games] wruster:
Which themes?

Also ICS or Jelly Bean? :o

Boss, lookie here. JB 4.1.1 aosp jro03l
[Android Apps and Games] tarekh020:
Great Idea to make such app , I will add this app to my

Must-Have List

I suggest a new thread for themes to keep organized

Thank you so much for your efforts and time spent :good:

As we all know : Time = Money
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
THANKS! That means a lot!

I will definitely be making a separate thread for themes once there are more :)
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Easy fix. It is just not picking up your screen dpi correctly. What dpi or size is your screen?
[Android Apps and Games] Jamison904:
Very nice work guys! Thank you. I am going to suggest it to those using my ROM. It is running great for me - sgs2 t989. Looking forward to the additional themes. This app has lots of potential!

[Android Apps and Games] moneymike55:
At the moment there are 10 colors of ICS and JB themes (for a total of 20) being released throughout the weekend :) We're just making a few last minute adjustments but the images are all done so they will be ready very soon. We are also planning on some colored versions of the iPhone theme along with other stock android versions (hc, gb, sense, etc) plus some custom themes. If you have any other ideas let us know but the template is really easy to work with if you want to try creating or porting some themes yourself!
[Android Apps and Games] lioryte:
Check out my sig
[Android Apps and Games] pedrsantiago:
I don't know if it's just me but while scrolling down it frequently goes left or right... Perhaps it's set to be a little too sensitive?
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Oh, you mean in the menu? I can add a setting in the about page to adjust the sensitivity. It is a vertical/horizontal scrollview so you can swipe like through pages and scroll up and down for more content. Pretty self explanatory lol.

But, i will fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Got it. I will add it tonight
[Android Apps and Games] Gnaver:
Great app. The update which fixing notification count and non working apps hiding is already out? Because I still have app from 14.8. And no update available. Or its only for paid one?
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Dont worry the update is coming! I have been pretty busy and i am also trying to redo our site so its more user friendly ad fully launched :)

There will always be complainers, it is ho the world works. You cant please everybody. So we are not put down from that. It makes us want to do better. But what does piss me off is people who complain when there is nothing we can do about it. Such as not being able to tell when notifications are cleared ;)

Here is that image. I have all the resources, just have to build it for you real quick...
[Android Apps and Games] Joker73R:
One issue: I don't know why, but GTalk notifications stay in status bar even when opened it. Only happens with this app.
[Android Apps and Games] M@31:
Is it difficult to build a theme for this status bar?

Id be willing to give it a go actually.....
[Android Apps and Games] KeylanHalfdan:
If you check the second post in this thread it has the template, and instructions on how to make your own theme.

I haven't actually tried it myself, but from the directions, it seems pretty straight forward.

I might try one the new update with the GPS fix comes out. Perhaps by then I will have some free time to play around with it.

[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
If you plan to publish it, i would change the package-name, but for yourself, you could easily edit the template by changing the values and images then installing on your device. Like the guy above said, its pretty straight forward. On our new site we will have really in depth instructions.
[Android Apps and Games] strikelight:
I like the concept and direction of where this app is going... With regards to that complaint, from a development stand-point, I assume the notification counters are kept track of internally by the app? And if I also understand correctly, you are developing a drop-down notification bar... Now, what is preventing the development of a gesture or button to clear/reset all 'internally tracked' notifications (counters) from within said notification bar? If my assumption is incorrect, then.. how about tracking/counting internally instead then ;)

Just some ideas that I thought might help.
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
You are right ;). We do keep track of all the counters and notifications internally. We can make a notification button in the notification panel which will clear all of the app icons...but it would look like a normal notification. Is that alright? Cause i can do that no problem. When clicked, it would clear all counters and notifications for all the sticky/misbehaving notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] M@31:
I really want to like this app.....I have tried many times and even bought the pro version.

But, it really seems to eat the battery. Anyone else notice this? Is there a fix that is possible to ease up on the battery consumption?

Im going to have to try making one of those themes when I have time!
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Disable the battery percentage text...i known...weird glitch lol. But it works too save battery when disabled :good:
[Android Apps and Games] M@31:
Thanks for the quick reply!

I see this as a fix, and the GPS fix is to turn of the GPS notifier.

I assume these will be fixed correct? Obviously I would like to know when I am using GPS and I also like to know the percentage of the battery left ;)
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Correct :). They will be fixed.

Right now i am working on an update for ALL of our apps since Google's New Policy comes out on Aug. 30. So we need to make sure every app is in compliance!
[Android Apps and Games] PAGOT:
A suggestion if it wasn't suggested before.Sorry if it was or its already there. Adding the google services connection signal bars change functionality.

I mean when you are connected to google services the signal bars change color. Kinda missing that on the stock bar.

And +1 to a functionality of disabling the stock status bar. I tried the app which someone suggested here, but it disables also the Omega one for me.

Then it can actually be called an replacement :D . As of now its just an overlay.

Also height and scaling would be also nice. (As the statusbar + has)
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
I will have to look into that. I am wanting to add the height scaling as well so that should be a good feature. StatusBar+ is actually for sale on AppTopia.......for $25k......if anyone is interested lol.
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Updates for the new Google policy is done. Time to start working on Omega StatusBar again!
[Android Apps and Games] M@31:
Patiently waiting......
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Gnaver:
Same here, can't wait to use it all the time (waiting for notification counter fix) :) great work btw
[Android Apps and Games] kkruglov:
doesn't work on my electrify [2.3.5 hybrid]

doesnt start.. or always crashing..

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

ok, i found what was the problem, i change dpi from normal 240 to 210 with mcTweaker, and it was reason - why this app doesnt start

now it's working.. thx a lot, i will buy it again :D

waiting for new themes, like xperia bar..or htc :D
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
I am adding other "odd" DPI's now for certain devices. Thanks for the support!
[Android Apps and Games] :
Any particular reason why you put E and H as apposed to 2G/3G/4G? Is it because some people have 3G and others have 4G?
[Android Apps and Games] Intruder7s:
When you are done with this change please tell us the DPI's supported so we can configure our devices properly.

Thanks and keep up the good work :D
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
I will just add the other DPI's that people were having trouble with, then i will add a "plan b" dimension for the statusbar. So if none of the DPI's are found, it will create the statusbar in a set height or width since it doesn't know what to scale too ;)
[Android Apps and Games] M@31:
Wondering if there is a planned update in the near future?

I would like to be able to use this app, since I did pay for it.......sorry
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Yes there is. Just busy...all serious.

I just started school today as well :(

I can quickly post the update here
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Good news! We are making an easy way for beginners to make themes now! More details will be posted once the theme kitchen is live for beta :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] M@31:
Being a paying customer, what I would really like, instead of any easy way to create Themes, would be a functioning app.

Not to be rude, but I have paid for this app, and it is unusable right now.

GPS stays on, even when Im not using it. Battery drains if I want to the % of battery, notifications pile up and cannot clear them.....

Themes are great, dont get me wrong, but lets try to get some of the functionality going first no?
[Android Apps and Games] kcls:
Posting so this will show up in tapatalk :D

[Android Apps and Games] polstein:
Just reading through the thread & downloaded the free version.

I see the battery drain issue, how bad is it to keep the % on? I really prefer the numbers over the little image, but I don't see a way to see 'charging' without the image. Any chance of getting a circle animated battery % like in many rom themes?

I note that some (heck all) of my apps (Waze for instance) aren't showing up in the tray. Is this a pro version thing or something? I currently have nothing on the block list. (edit - looking into android/settings/accessibility now)

Finally a request for the themers until I break the apk/zip & look myself. I like the clock centered in the iPhone theme, but I like the colors/look of the ICs/JB themes. Can someone possibly make a JB style theme, but with the Clock in the middle, battery/wifi/signal/gps on the right - leaving the left open for running apps (like Waze) ?
[Android Apps and Games] andresrivas:
Hi!

I installed the statusbar and the ios theme, when i apply the theme my phone suddenly reboots!! It happens every thime, doesn't matter if the status bar is active or not
[Android Apps and Games] moneymike55:
I think quinny's JB theme actually has a centered clock, here's the link if you want to check it out https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quinny898.omegatheme.statusbar.jellybean

As for the battery %, the issue with keeping it on is that it has to read from the system % every few seconds which takes up a lot of CPU, we are working on reducing the power consumption though. I was planning on making a theme using the circle hc battery mod with the % in the middle next so I'll let you know as soon as its ready, right now we're just finishing up the 10 colored JB themes and an update to fix a few indicators that were overlapping along with the new battery bar and improved gps detection.
[Android Apps and Games] M@31:
I really want to keep using this app. I paid for it.

I don't usually complain, but I cannot use it for what I want. I want to be able to see my battery % without it draining all of my battery, and I DO NOT want to see GPS on all of the time, and I want to know if I have an alarm set or not......These seem like they are pretty basic.

The other Status Bar apps have no problem with this.....

When can we look forward to an update?
[Android Apps and Games] KeylanHalfdan:
Looks like the app has been listed on droid-life today

Great app but...

Loved the app, the themes,icons everything but seeing some issue / need some updates to be a killer one :)

1.I do not get gosms pro notifications while using this :( not sure why, I'm very new to android,using GS2 android 4.0.3

2.I'm using widgetsoid switcher in my notification for toggling data/sync etc and it's notification is always on,no matter what I do :( takes up space in the already congested notification bar :(

Please provide an option to clear off notification by swiping ,instead of going into the app. Best would be to provide a list of apps that would have notifications cleared by swiping and others would need to open the app so that we don't miss any critical notification by any chance.

A great app nonetheless :):good:
[Android Apps and Games] TheSmokingAndroid:
c'mon guys, lets get that update pushed out so i can finally review it!
[Android Apps and Games] hauntedhunter:
+1
[Android Apps and Games] M@31:
Where did the devs go?

No updates for about 2 weeks or even posts on here......
[Android Apps and Games] xips:
Must be busy working. I just had an all day email exchange with 'em.
[Android Apps and Games] jeremy.lievre@gmail.com:
Love the idea but a few fixe have to be done:

- GTalk app appears like a system notification (bugdroid) and never closes even after launching the app (with the counter incrementing)

- I'm using the "1Tap Quick Bar" application and it creates a notification every time i use it (with the counter incrementing) whereas it doesn't on regular status bar --> I wanted to use the pop up ignored app that DOESN'T work.

- GPS icon always on

- No Alarm clock icon

Appart from that very great with my JB launcher :)

(Don't want to root it before the end of the warranty)

[Android Apps and Games] llopmesquer:
Is stopped all this?
[Android Apps and Games] Terminator19:
Seems like it is dead. Such a shame as it had the potential to be a superb app once the bugs were fixed and improvements brought.
[Android Apps and Games] llopmesquer:
Yes, sure! Even now, like it is, it's a very interesting and usefull app!
[Android Apps and Games] moneymike55:
The project definitely isn't dead guys don't worry, our lead dev was in a life-threatening accident last month but we have been working on Omega every day since he got out of the hospital and the next update will be ready soon
[Android Apps and Games] llopmesquer:
Oh, sorry! I hope all it's gonna be alright! Good luck!
[Android Apps and Games] Terminator19:
Oh.......Sorry to hear that. As said above, hope everything is all right :)
[Android Apps and Games] TheSmokingAndroid:
Ya sorry to hear that boys! My best friend was just in a plain crash about 5 days ago, him and the pilot barely made it out, but they're ok.

Looking forward to the update so that i can review it as discussed ;)

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Alright.........Im back lol. :good:

Sorry for the delay and lack of updates guys! I can understand why you thought the project was dead. I am working on the update right now and will be doing my best to update more often. I loose focus easily and cant remember sh!t. Anyways, after going through the code from before my accident, i can say this update wil be awesome. Support for way better themes, better stability, and much more! (including many bug fixes).

Any other complaints or requests? For anyone who is interested in what happened you can pm or email me if you want...basically i was face down in the water and stopped breathing for 2-3 minutes. Had cpr, then was airlifted to a hospital for a few days. I have a skull fracture and brain bleeding in 2 spots. My balance is pretty fvcked up too lol. Anyways....update will be ready once i get the resized images.
[Android Apps and Games] xips:
Wow. Good to hear you are back and getting healthy. From your message, you sound to be in good spirits and should have no problem fully recovering. Take care and keep up the great work.
[Android Apps and Games] KeylanHalfdan:
Good to hear you are doing better. I got a little worried there that something bad had happened, as you were usually on here almost every day giving updates and replying to the thread.

As always, I am patiently waiting for an update. I know how hard coding is, as I am still learning the basics, and I definitely do not mind waiting for a solid product.

Keep up the good work. :)

[Android Apps and Games] Terminator19:
Good to hear everything is ok and sounds like you are having a speedy recovery :)

There was one other thing with regards to the status bar (not sure if it was mentioned before), the notification icons, when I had a missed call, text etc. it wouldn't show the proper stock notification icon or the ICS/JB notification icons when using the themes, instead it just used a smaller version of the app icon. If you aren't sure of what I mean I can post screenshots.
[Android Apps and Games] yohanandz:
really cool!
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
I get what you mean. It was coded to do that, so its not really a glitch. The next update allows support for custom notification icons in the themes, so you wont have to worry about the app icons for main notifications. So basically, the themes will have a custom notification image for text messages. Hope that made sense lol.
[Android Apps and Games] Terminator19:
Yup, perfectly clear! Look forward to the update, thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Awesome! The update is pretty much ready to go. I am just testing out a few things to make sure it will run fine. So far so good! I just had to make a few small edits to make the ram use and battery consumption more efficient.

Such as only updating the battery percentage text every 5% so it wont drain the heck out of your battery :good:
[Android Apps and Games] russianmob:
This looks really cool going to try it our
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Alright, update APK is ready and a new theme template is ready as well. I have to talk to Mikel about the new template changes cause the old one is not compatible anymore. So, to prevent FC's, we will be updating all the themes. I need some sleep though :p
[Android Apps and Games] Kitschki:

[Android Apps and Games] jeremy.lievre@gmail.com:
Pop up issue

I don't know if it has brought before, but I'm experiencing an issue on the pop up option and the ignored apps list.

I'm using "Power Toggles" and it has a persistent notification icon, that I want to get rid of (as I can have the battery percentage through omega status bar) . It does disapear for a while and reappars at some points (can't catch why or when) and increments the count icon each time i use the toggles)

It's pretty annoying :s

Thanks you very much

PS: Pretty sicked an update is coming
[Android Apps and Games] #illidan:
Glad the developer is alright & recovering nicely. The incident sounded pretty bad. Get well soon.

Anyway as a feature request could we have the ability to force the status bar in certain, mind you on certain & not all full screen apps because some apps (comic strips) force full screen mode even though there isn't any need to do so. There is an app called smart statusbar on the play store that does it.

Also the developers may want to have a look at this. It would be helpful to create awareness of this issue to avoid 1 star ratings in the Play store as well as get people to star the issue to get it implemented in future android versions.
[Android Apps and Games] Terminator19:
How is the new version coming on? :)
[Android Apps and Games] Terminator19:
Any updates?
[Android Apps and Games] A Dev@Calsto:
Sorry still working on it :(

All this school work is putting me way behind! Especially after missing so much.
[Android Apps and Games] Quinny899:
Are you still changing the theme engine? I'll need to update my theme if you are
[Android Apps and Games] mDroidd:
Well I believe the last change was the merge of the strings.xml and the xml with the grid locations.

The template changed too, though...
