[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
I like the circular battery better myself, more usable info about battery state than the old stock battery icon...and eats up less notification bar space than having the stock battery icon with the percentage next to it....why Sammy didn't stack the percentage inside or on top of the battery icon is beyond me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
It's a personal thing, which is why it should be a flashable ZIP or aroma option, since not all people like to watch their battery tick away percent-by-percent. :P CyanogenMod ROMs used to have the percent enabled by default years ago, but Cyanogen himself pulled it (and then later got sent as an option in Settings) because he said it drove him crazy watching his battery life deplete.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] focr06:
pliz make this an aroma install plz plz!

It would be great for us to decide what we want on this.. I kno... it makes the installation file bigger... but for instance, there are things that some of us need, n some that others don't. I'm downloading your ROM, first time. But I like choosing things, like swype, but I also want black status bar, and all Samsung apps, because it's a damn Galaxy Note II for a reason, and I use the pen with it's apps a lot at work, I'm a designer a big store, so portability it's great for me! But, could you also make a semi transparent notifications drop down? I wish I could do this my self.. :( I miss Caulkins ROMs on the S2...

I have been running this rom since the initial release, and it has been great, but count my vote for an Aroma package too (including the stock battery icon ;)

Also would suggest a 240 dpi option with bala's stock app mods: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2001143

Please don't remove the circle...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] intelli78:
Does your battery icon look like mine? Either I just don't get it, or something is not working right.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
Yep, that looks normal to me. Not my cup of tea.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] intelli78:
Heh, any idea how to interpret it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
The inner circle is the top 50% of battery capacity. Once the phone is at half capacity the inner circle is empty and the outer circle starts going.

Hopefully we get stock battery icon. Untill then 1.1 is good enough for me.

If anyone wants, I've modded my SystemUI.apk to revert back to the stock battery icon. I'm a newb at this, but it seems to work.

Backup your /system/app/SystemUI.apk to somewhere safe, then copy this one over it. Make sure perms are 644 and reboot. It took a while at the Samsung white letter screen, but it successfully booted.

I have added a few more tweaks: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21884233/xda/SystemUI-ULE-stockbattandmore.apk

- Stock battery icon

- Removed text from quick icons (something is leaving a gap under the buttons still, can't figure it out)

- 1x/3G icon should work

Thanks to freeza for his post on how to do these mods!

you did make sure to change the xml files didnt you?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
I'm not sure what you're asking specifically. :P For the battery icon stuff? I'm not sure how gracefully I removed that, but I did take it out of the battery xml files and deleted the png's. It compiled without any errors or warnings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t3project:
ok, just making sure.

Is there any way to get the default swipe gesture screenshot working? Also what was responsible for the stock feature of holding down the spen button, and selecting a screenshot area?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] snovvman:
Is there a way to get the notification bar to display the number of notifications of the same kind? In other words, if there are two SMS waiting, there will be the SMS icon and a little number "2" inside it. If there are five PlayStore updates, there will be the PlayStore icon with a little "5" inisde it".

Coming from AOKP/AOSP, that is an option. With the stock-based ROM, I'm not sure if this is possible.

Thanks.

What kernel is this? If stock can I install perseus?

Can I install S Voice and Visual Voicemail back on? Otherwise..... seemingly perfect lite ROM!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffolkes:
Yes to all your questions. :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ZenInsight:
I hear that Perseus is the best kernel and a battery life improver. Opinions?

Also, where do I go to reinstall visual voicemail and s voice?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] stu5797:
I think its perseus isbplacebo. Seems to give the exact same as stock. Maybe worse
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ZenInsight:
Perseus allows for 900mah usb charging (vs 500) and also has the ability to allow the Note 2 to sustain GPS, streaming music, in a car without slowly dying. So..no placebo there...but I haven't heard of any other advantages yet.

You quoted my text but may be forgot to reply?

1. What is Aroma installer. 2. Can I put visual voicemail and S voice back on...and how?

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t3project:
it is an installer that lets you choose your options when flashing a rom. visual voicemail was not removed. yes you can add S-voice back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ZenInsight:
I see. So how do I put S voice back on? Is there a link to an installer apk? (sorry..not really familiar with re-instating apps on a ROM).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ZenInsight:
I see that I am not asking the question appropriately.

Will you be making an Aroma installer for the apps removed...or do we need to reinstall them individually by pulling the apk's (or whatever) from the stock ROM.

I just want the S Voice back on. (tyring to keep my wife from touching the phone while driving so she doesn't wreck the car).

:)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t3project:
I am making an aroma installer for everything. The next version of this rom will have everything as an option and you can choose what you want and what you don't. It won't be long until it is released.

I am waiting on my new computer to get here or I would attach the s-voice apk for you. My old one took a dump.

I have had many, many, many Android phones and have tweaked each one. This phone and this ROM combo is yielding some of the best battery life that I have seen. In good service areas, at idle, I am burning about 1/2% per hour. Even under use, the battery life is very resilient. Great job! :good:

hey t3, glad u didnt leave us hanging! jk everything is nearly perfect and couldnt ask for much more anyway...

2 quick questions regarding this rom tho, have been running it since day 2(ish) and never looked back:

1) when using spen for the snipping tool, what ever happened to the menu that appears at the bottom? Do you/anyone know if there an option for this menu/mod that would add it back if it was pulled from the rom? All my snips are automatically saved but I need to go to the gallery, look for album, choose the snip, only then can I decide what to actually do with it, the other menu was very convenient

2) i realize this rom blocks ad-servers but is there a way to manually add/delete these servers? there are times when sites I want to go to are unavailable because theyre being blocked...

Anyone have an idea on any of these 2 things?

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of computer did you get? I have THIS ONE! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t3project:
Acer Aspire v3-771g-9809

Ivy Bridge Core i7 2.2ghz

NVIDIA Geforce GT 650M 2GB (29nm)

8GB DDR3 upgraded to 24GB

256GB OCZ Vertex 4 SSD for OS

1TB Samsung HD for storage

I got that particular model because it is extremely, extremely upgradeable. Added the RAM and SSD and was still below $1k. Needless to say it freaking flies. I didn't however do as you did. After I uninstalled and cleaned everything I wanted from the original drive (didn't have a windows cd handy), I just cloned my boot partition to the SSD and then formatted the original. Much easier than making 15 restore cds. lol ;)

I will probably be upping the RAM to 32gb since it is cheap right now. It also has the option in the BIOS to use the UEFI secure boot or an unsecured Legacy boot which is awesome.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
1.5 works great. So far the notification toggle for S-Beam doesn't seem to have any effect. FWIW any of the status bar mods I tried (75% transparency, and center clock) outright break the status bar causing not only to not appear at all but cause SystemUI to loop crash. Tried both individually and on a fresh full wipe install.

No other issues, apart from necessary workarounds to get svoice :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t3project:
are you installing a new SystemUI.apk or are you just installing the mods that theme the current SystemUI.apk? if it is a new apk and not just a theme you will break things. sorry, should have specified that in the OP.

I know on windows 7 if you clone to a SSD the OS doesn't realize it is on an SSD. You will have to do the little ssd tweaks manually. Just got a new laptop for work and the idiots at work did this.

All my games (gta3, max payne, nfs, asphalt all run no problemo. Captain America says it needs to download data but zips right through it when I say ok so it doesn't actually download anything. I previously wrote this up it may help:

i actually just transferred all my saved google music to my sd card using Directory Bind, a pretty sweet app. it essentially tricks the os and allows any system folder to be directed to a folder on the external card. this also allows you to save game data to the card and not take up valuable space.

for google music songs:

1) install directory bind --> preferences --> make sure the follow are checked: bind on boot, alternate dbase mgmt, persistent service, AND bypass path verification <--this was crucial to making it work

2) add new entry, manually type this in:

source (data) path: /storage/extSdCard/**make up a folder where u want the music** (i used DirectoryBind/GoogleMusic/)

mount (target) path: /data/data/com.google.android.music/files/music/ (this seems to differ on older versions of Play Music, and also other devices? maybe.

transferring the data from /data/data/com.google.android.music/files/music/ to /storage/extSdCard/DirectoryBind/GoogleMusic/ didnt work via Directory Bind but I took care of this manually with Root Explorer.

after you add the entry, the diskette looking icon should be grey and after you tap on it, should turn green! Green = good. works for me, let me know if directions are misleading...
