Template

for making your own custom status bar images for MOAR​

I have no idea why this didn’t occur to me sooner (template grid!) but let me share a colored, measured out template grid for people who like to draw their own custom status bar images…Use the attached file. See directions below if you need them. :good: This is a screenshot showing some of my own drawings. You get to draw whatever you want. ;) The colored template grid makes layout easy so you can put whatever you want in the right place based on where you have clock, what icons you show, etc. Perfect.

​

Directions if you need 'em:

-> Download the file attached to this post: statusbar_design_layout.png to your phone.

-> Copy it into sdcard/moar. (You should see rompnit’s starter images in there too if you want to use one of them!) This tells you that you’re in the right place though.

-> Rename the design layout to statusbar.png

-> Reboot

-> See the colored grid behind your status bar? You should see something like this on your phone for now:

So now obviously…

-> Download the same file: statusbar_design_layout.png to a computer.

-> Open the file in any image editing program capable of creating layers with transparency.

-> Create a layer ON TOP of the colored grid. You’re going to create whatever you want right in this top layer.

-> Here is a screenshot of my photoshop window. Notice I'm using the colored grid template that's on my phone to know where to draw my images based on how I personally have my status bar setup. Template is very useful!

-> Back on your phone. Looking at your phone, plan the precise size and location on whatever you want to draw into your status bar background image.

-> When you’re done, turn off the colored grid layer leaving only the stuff you drew (for transparent status bar) or create an opaque background layer if you want. Whatever.

-> Save that file as a png file. Name it something you’ll recognize.

-> Put the file onto your phone.

-> Copy it into sdcard/moar/

-> Rename it statusbar.png like this

-> Reboot.

-> Rinse an repeat as necessary.

I love doing this, and MOAR scripts everything so you just have to name a file statusbar.png and it magically becomes your status bar background image when you reboot. Play around with it. Freak people out - draw a "6G icon" or something. ;)

[MENTION=4829480]erikalin[/MENTION] .. What a great idea for the template. Awesome stuff! Thank you!!! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rclksr:
I did a clean install and I can't find the MOAR folder either. I checked internal internal as and it's not there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] erikalin:
'morning. It is there unless you deleted it or flashed a corrupted file for the ROM or something. The moar folder is in the ROM. My screenshot is literally from navigating inside the ROM zip itself. It's there: sdcard/moar/. So in your file browser, navigate to sdcard/moar/ and you will see the same thing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
I'd like to thank you and everyone else who responded. Before asking I looked for hours searching through every folder and file using rom toolbox pro and could not find it. The only thing I found was system/moar/scripts and I'm pretty sure that isn't what I'm looking for. Re-downloaded 9.01,checked md5 and installed. Still no moar folder under sdcard. Opened the zip file itself like in your pic and it was there but for some reason after I install the zip it disappears. Am I supposed to insert my file into the zip before I flash it or what? If that is the case then maybe it should be explained in a little more detail for ppl like myself who are not as knowledgeable like some of you are. The only thing I'm finding under sdcard the image below. As the pic shows there is no moar folder. This pic is clean install with no modifications. I try to search before asking questions and I've spent hours trying to figure this out. I'm completely stumped.

Edit: Can I just extract the moar from the zip and place it in sdcard? Or maybe just create a new folder and name it moar?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] andee39:
Did you try a dirty flash? I also did a clean install and there was no moar folder. Did dirty flash and then it was there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] erikalin:
Don't put anything inside the ROM zip before you flash it. You could just create the folder but I really do think it's already there in which case, you'll create a folder somewhere else - no harm, but won't be what you need. Different file explorers use slightly different names for sdcard or internal storage or whatever. The moar folder really has to be on the root on the internal sdcard... But go ahead and create it. If you're in the wrong place nothing bad will happen. Create a folder named moar on the root of the sdcard, and put an image file inside of it named statusbar.png or pulldown.png, and reboot. Good luck. Find it, create it, lol... this is a great ROM and this is one of many many awesome features.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Super Dave426:
Using the search on ES File Explorer I found mine at Data - Media - MOAR
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
Think I finally found it. It was under mnt/shell/emulated/........tada i see moar. Thanks to all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'm very late but I insist on posting my reply anyway. :P :)

First, expand your home lockscreen widget (swipe down from the middle of the screen).

Then just long press the current (default clock, or personal message if set) widget on your home lockscreen and drag it to trash at the top, then hit the plus sign + and add "nOObz Clock Widget". It offers for you to configure it there when you add it.

Disclaimer: These instructions might be more detailed than necessary for you; they're meant for everyone. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JupiterOne:
That worked, THANKS!!

Does anyone have a zip or a way to change the carrier text on the lock screen? Am on Virgin but it says Sprint whereas i prefer to set it to 'VGER' or 'whatever'
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
Placed file in moar folder and rebooted 4x and still nothing. I give up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
This may not be what you want but under lockscreen options/carrier text I pull the slider all the way left to make it transparent. That way you don't see anything on the lockscreen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
[MENTION=1167171]rompnit[/MENTION], what does your LockClock.apk depend on to display the weather?

There's a new band called 1023MB. They haven't had any gigs yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JupiterOne:
Yea i saw that. I used to change it with Wanam but with that being the only feature of Wanam that i use that is not in MOAR, i will not install Wanam just for that. I found a zip to change the carrier text on the pulldown 'not needed with MOAR' so am hoping someone has made one for the lockscreen. So for now yea it's transparent.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
Trying to learn by doing what i thought would be the simplest thing...a pulldown. Having no success. Beginning to gain a new perspective and respect for the work that goes into this stuff.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidGnome:
Possible bug - Sharing Namecards?

First, love the ROM... not since my old MikRom days with my EVO have I found a ROM with exactly all the features I want to use. Been using MOAR since v6 and just upgraded to 9 so HUGE improvement.

But I noticed one item which I THINK is a bug in the ROM (Though could be caused by some app I have I suppose).

If I go into contacts, select a contact, hit Menu and then "Share Namecard Via" , then the entire contacts closes with an error.

Does this happen with others on this ROM, or is it something specific to my installation?

For reference, I did a complete wipe of both the ROM and installed new modem, so it cannot be a dirty flash issue etc... Though I did restore a few apps from Titanium (but not system app).

Thoughts?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rompnit:
Don't give up;)

The moar folder has to be at the root of internal storage, not in data.

Move the entire folder. Using the built-in "My Files", it should follow the path shown in my pic.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rompnit:
Hey all.. on Google TTS. . Be sure to go into Google TTS settings, and "Install Voice Data"

Them you will have the HQ voice. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
I just gave this a try and it works for me.

I know you are having problems with location of moar folder but just wanted to ask about something I believe you mentioned in one of your previous posts. Are you using a zip for pulldown? Those don't work for 4.3. You need to create your png and then move your file to the moar folder and make sure you name it pulldown.png. Apologies if that was already mentioned.

EDIT: n/m I see in a post a few above mine you have that covered.

I downloaded apk from here

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MontyPyFly:
Thanks [MENTION=4829480]erikalin[/MENTION] that old file did the trick, finally.

I had installed the 244mb voice data before a couple times, with no results.

I tried installing the entire Gapps apk and all it did was kill my android keyboard (not ever used) and still didn't get TTS :(

Then rewiped data from TTS app, installed the file from Erikalin and rebooted, (Google Text To Speech updated it's self as hopped), installed high quality voice again,and Poof! Sweet young girls voice is working.

Now I'm off to shoot pictures of half naked women...... The only part of my job that pulls me away from this phone ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tmcwilliam01:
The method above also fixed my Google TTS

I've got MOAR!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DurhamHusker:
Thanks for the tip, rompnit.

Unfortunately, it did not do the trick for me. What worked for me was to uninstall the app using Titanium Backup, install Google TTS from the Play Store, and then "Install Voice Data" with the newly installed APK. It was then that I could hit "Listen to an example" and hear something when Google was selected as the preferred TTS engine.

Let me know if you think you'd get any use from the log I grabbed and I can send it to you directly if you'd like. (It's also attached to my post from last night.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JupiterOne:
[MENTION=4829480]erikalin[/MENTION] EXCELLENT instructions to change the status bar background, thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JupiterOne:
I had to do the same to make it work. THANKS!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
I tried this, selected a couple of choices like email and it brought up my email app. Are you even getting that far?

Try to get a logcat when I happens. I know someone posted a link to a logcat app in the playstore that you can use to capture the fatal error and then zip up the file and post it if you can.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidGnome:
Nope, as soon as I hit the button, contacts crashes. I'll see if I can get a moment or two while at work here and logcat it to see what's up, just hadn't gotten that far in debugging it yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dmdelgado:
I deleted both files first then moved over the new files. They transfered over perfectly requesting root permissions. I then opened each one and then set the new permissions accordingly followed by a reboot. And now I get no sound for touch Input. Strange thing is i was able to play the old touch files and hear the droplet sound after selecting to play it, but these new files don't seem to play any sound after selecting. Maybe it's a problem with the new files? Anyone have any other .Ogg sound files I can replace and try?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tmcwilliam01:
It sounds odd but just do a dirty flash and it should be fixed. It has happened to me on both 8 and 9 and a dirty flash fixed both.

I've got MOAR!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] meyerweb:
Fixed mine, too, except that the app didn't auto-update. I had to download the latest version from the Play Store.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] yesca213:
Sorry to get off topic, but what weather clock widget do you got there? Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CaktusJack:
Might be over looking it8 the Aroma Installer, but are there any custom toggles, specifically the Sense one's?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JupiterOne:
Transparent Weather Clock from the play store
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] erikalin:
You can download any ROM and just navigate inside the zip file into system/media/audio and check out all the ogg sound files in there. They don't even have to be for our phone because it's just a type of audio file. Might seem weird to download an entire ROM to take out the sounds, but why not? You can also get any sound in any format from anywhere, open it in a program such as Audacity (free) and export in ogg format. Options are endless. :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rclksr:
MOAR folder

Thanks for the help. I have it now, but it took some doing. I checked MD5 for my ROM file and it was good. I dirty flashed again and no MOAR folder, another clean flash, still no luck. I went back to MOAR 8, and noticed it was not there either. So I went into recovery and deleted the SDCARD from within recovery. I tried to wipe cache Davlick and my phone locked up. Pulled battery, restarted into recovery, formatted storage, wiped cache/davlich three times, loaded 9.0.1 again from extsd card. Its there now. Not sure why I had to go through that but it worked. I did not have any other problems either, I'm loving this ROM. Thanks for the help. Still learning. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DurhamHusker:
// The following is not directed at anyone in particular. Just my own personal experiences.

Things like this is why its sometimes a good idea to wipe internal storage when flashing a new ROM. Especially when going between versions of Android (going from 4.1 to anything above is is strongly suggested).

If you do your due diligence and wipe EVERYTHING (save for your removable SD card) and verify the integrity of the ROM zip you downloaded (MD5 or other checksum or hash provided by the ROM developer) you'll save yourself a lot of headaches.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] capadon:
When backing up apps on titanium backup, how do they get saved on the sd card? That's where they used 2 get saved. Thx
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
You can go into TB preferences and choose where you want your backups to go.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tmcwilliam01:
Okay I spoke too soon. The dirty flash did not resolve the fc when trying to add a contact.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] barberboy420:
Has anyone came up with a solution to the random reboot? I read some post back a person was having random reboots for no reason. I dirty flashed over 8.0 yesterday and have not changed anything. All was fine as far as smoothness but I noticed today I was getting random reboots like craaazy. I'm on the ktoonez kernel and the only tweak I have is the one put here many post back involving the comadose tweak

Goodness Trick3d Sammy Tab
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Try the stock kernel maybe
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Super Dave426:
My phone doesn't play well with Ktoonez and it hated comadose, it would freeze and reboot. I am on dkp and I had to restore a backup to get the comadose out, the removal zip wasn't complete. This was when I was on 8, I did the dirty to get to 9 and she's running smoooooth.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] barberboy420:
Dang I can't remember if my backup was with the tweaks or not fml

your girl loves i have M.O.A.R 8.0
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] yesca213:
I had the same issue as you when I flashed 8.0. I finally resolved it by dirty flashing with moar from the internal sd card. Dunno why it made a difference but it worked. Hope this helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ramer:
This isn't a solution but a work around. I've been adding contacts on my PC and letting Google sync with my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] avruma:
Try that...also if that doesn't work try removing Google account and adding it back
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tammyjustin:
if I asked this im sorry. can't remember if I did or not...I can just flash this rom like all others I have in the past and not worry about all the issues about getting bricked? again sorry and thanks...always gotten great help here!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
If you guys are having problems after a dirty flash, designate an hour out of the weekend to properly flashing with a full data/system/cache/dalvik wipe (I like to wipe everything at least three times... I'm not OCD, shut up)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] meyerweb:
What ROM are you running now?

If it's anything other than MOAR 8.x, you should do a clean flash. Wipe cache and dalvik, wipe data and factory reset, then flash the ROM in recovery. If you're on MOAR 8, you should be able to dirty flash. That is, wipe cache and dalvik only.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
No, you can change the toggles color, etc with ROM Control.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] meyerweb:
Not part of MOAR, but tdunham posted some slick toggles a while back:

Yeah, you shouldn't have any problem flashing MOAR. Just do a clean install. If you could install Wicked, you can install MOAR the same way.

An unbelievable amount of inverted apps here on Rootzwiki:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/3100-goo...ps-blacked-out-or-transparent-updated-051913/

Select the 'Blacked Out' or 'Downloads' icons.

I think some of the links on the rootzwiki page itself are outdated but the links to the other site has current updated apps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MontyPyFly:
be sure to fully read the first post in the thread.

You need to update your Modem to MK3 or MK5 first. it's a big jump from 4.1 :)

**** on another note..... I think I'm loosing my mind!

I know I changed the lockscreen clock digits on v8, but I can't find my file, or even where found them in the rom in the first place.

Anyone want to give me a hint :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
Just did a search and nothing came up. Is there a way to disable screen on and sound when plugged in?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] erikalin:
Screen on when plugging in - I think that mod is in there somewhere. I don't know off hand where.

Sound when plugging in - just delete the sound. Go here: system/media/audio/ui and delete Charger_Connection.ogg and no more sound when you plug in. Or rename it by adding BAK or something after the ogg, so it won't be recognized. :good:

//

On the topic of drawing your own custom status bar images, you can also use an actual photograph - your kid, your spouse, etc. I think it's pretty neat to have a photo in the status bar. Screenshot images (as below) obviously don't have the same resolution as our actual phone displays. The photo is clearly visible when looking at my phone. This way you can also put a family pic up there while not giving up whatever fun pulldown image you like. ;)

Noob-friendly directions for drawing your own status bar images, from the other day, here

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
I believe it's in:

system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi/keyguard_lockscreen_time_# (it will have an image for each number 0-9) and keyguard_lockscreen_time_dot for the dots in between the numbers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tammyjustin:
hey, thanks guys!!! One more thing though...what is the difference been the mk3 and 5 mm modems?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Ah, my bad... Still don't have my S3 back:(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
We've been seeing more and more of this lately and I know you've been having issues. I think it's time to show if this can be done the correct way (Edit: I mean, let's find a proper method) to resolve all the issues.

1. Backup everything you want to save off of internal SD

2. Format internal storage completely

3. Copy the rom file back to internal storage from PC.

4. Power off the phone, eject external SD. Maybe not necessary but try it just to be certain.

5. Power directly into recovery, full wipe and fresh install of the rom and let us know how it goes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] loaderboy:
Keep screen on while plugged in is in developer options but not sure if that is what you wanted to change.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough with my description. I'm trying to keep the screen from turning on when the phone is plugged in. Something minor but I've seen the feature on other roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidGnome:
Well I also noticed my CPU was pegged out at 100% on both cores all the time.. phone was EXTREMELY sluggish.

So I decided to try again and reflash from scratch. Wiped everything and re-flashed ROM and contacts are working again. Only added my google accounts so far, but hopefully it isn't a conflict somewhere. (LogCat said that it couldn't access something on the SD card, which seemed odd, hence the reason I reflashed entirely again.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bradley129:
Could it be your sd card? I remember in the old galaxy s1 days when you were using a sd card and it started acting up it would make the phone go crazy for some reason. It would be sluggish and apps from sd card wouldn't run.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidGnome:
Doubt it, it's a 1 yr old sandisk 64gig xdhc that hasn't given me any issues.

I THINK the issue might have been the result of User Error (Like most issues). When I first flashed the ROM, I THINK I kept the SD Card out and had another in it's place. I'm almost positive I did that and swapped back the 64 gig later once the ROM was in place. Might have caused an issue there since the Android folder wasn't the same.

Either way it's working fine so far, sans my apps, and CPU is back to normal using the stock app.

I'll update again if I notice the issue come back, but for now consider it an "ID-10-T" error
