[LG Optimus 4X HD] Hid3away:
Beanstalk is way too heavy a Rom, it's not optimised in the way it should be, battery isn't as good as it could be and it lags..

Those stats (Over5Hours On-Screen Time) Was using CarbonRom and iodak 9.95 with stock settings, 75% brightness, and WiFi on most of the day, and H+ for when WiFi was off..

but carbonRom is not on xda (Users banned) Just google it..
[LG Optimus 4X HD] peppethustra:
I'm trying iodak v10beta right now, but yes, it was my last configuration on v9.95 only one week ago, and it's my own configuration yet, with a little more undervolt, considering that v10beta voltage

is a little higher than v9.95 :)

Everyone chooses his own ROM depending by his needs, and for me Beanstalk it's very good, independently by what you say ;) My battery is not so bad as you say it should be with the "heavy" and "not optimized" Beanstalk, I think, considering both screen on time and overall phone usage time.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] tamer7:
Setup:

Beanstalk 4.4.4007 , iodak v10 , CPU running at stock clock (1500Mhz)

both Wifi and Data were on for entire discharge cycle (though Wifi only actually connected for 30 minutes).

brightness mostly set to lowest level.

Result:

~2.5 hours web surfing, whatsapp, facebook, Gmail, Google+, etc., and very few calls

Total 2.5 hours on-screen time, and only 13 hours operation overall.

Phone purchased ~3 months ago. I was hoping to get at least the 4 hours web-browsing mentioned in this gsmarena article :crying:

Could having both Data and Wifi on be the explanation for the 1.5 hours less?

Edit:

root@p880:/ # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/tegra_cpu_variant
tegra_variant is 3, CPU is strong uhuuuu! :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Labeo772:
wi-fi on, only 2g, all google bull**** off

pure screen on time, on low brightness (around 30%) i get 3.30h.

daily usage wi-fi- always on, 2g, no sync etc...

screen time around 2h and 7-8h overall.

If im not carefull with this phone, it cant even last a normal workday :mad:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprocketty:
juz got my m8. amazing build quality. amazing interface. I just changed from S4, and I can say the stock keyboard is much better!! S4 would get some lags on LINE app after awhile... but so far my m8 rock seems very good. I will wait a few weeks to see how it goes.

Separately, anyone encountered a very soft "click" / tick sound whenever the vibration haptic feedback? This happens once every so often (say every 10 vibrations will yield one "tick" sound). When i put my ear to the phone, it seems as though the vibrating motor itself is maybe not aligned, so there is slight rattle sound. NOTE: I have already switch off the SOUND click feedback. This is definitely a mechanical tick....super duper soft...

Is this common? Maybe in just ocd...

This phone is so perfect in all other ways...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shebee:
Yeah I have it too.

Had it on my S4 as well so I don't care.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vgamesx1:
Hi, I recently bought a Evo Shift because 1. it was really cheap (a mere $15 and works fine and even good shape) 2. I wanted to put it on freedompop for their free service and this phone was on the supported list. (for those who don't know 4G is free and 3G isn't, weird I know..)

heres my problem though, coming from the very old and slow HTC Desire, I've gotten rather used to android 4.X and I very much like it and while there are plenty of roms for it, however none of the 4.X roms have 4G support.. so yay... back to GB it is then.. (no technical reason that I know of, it seems that everyones just lazy, doesn't want to bother and calling Wimax dead so they won't do it themselves)

so my question is, how could I possibly go about adding 4G Wimax support to a custom rom? I'm having a hard time finding guides or anything related on how to work with cellular data, any help is much appreciated.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosidefcp:
hello. sorry for the question but can somebody tell if anyone is working on unlocking the bootloader in devices with the status "unlock bootloader allowed:no"?

thanks
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enrique71:
Impossible, if your boot loader comes locked there isn't anything you can do to unlock it. Best to sell it and buy one unlockable.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosidefcp:
i know today it is impossible, has it was in my first android phone the xperia x10. what im asking if anyone is working on that or at least installing custom rooted roms with the locked bootloader...

thanks
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strongylad28:
As far as I am aware, no one will be able to unlock the bootloader ever. No one has managed it since 2011 as they're locked down tighter than....well you know.

However, people have previously found an exploit for root. That allows you to install custom roms, xposed etc but does not allow custom kernels (not a huge problem in my eyes, I've always found kernels to be slightly beneficial but also buggy if you're not an expert)

There's people working on it, but as of yet had no luck. I'm in the same boat as you, so guess it's just a waiting game.
[Sony Cross-Device General] serajr:
Amazing!!!

Great job bro!!!!! ... as always!!!

Masterpiece.... always dazzling our Xperias with mods! :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] devilmaycry2020:
Good job, but the hardest thing is make icon look good when stamina is activated , and low-battery mode activated,and when battery charging. I'm trying to do that
[Sony Cross-Device General] Ticklefish:
I can take a look at this tomorrow, right now I'm away from computer.

The stamina icon could just be redrawn. Maybe we could reuse the one from 4.3?

Charging is a bit more complicated. In stock, a lightning bolt is displayed. I think we might be able to replace that with the same sort of level-list we had before..
[Sony Cross-Device General] totzkitotz:
Great work bro :good: as what Ive expected again ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] devilmaycry2020:
hi all

i want the battery charging icon flashing like as video below, someone can help me. thanks

http://youtu.be/qkOgedJCKCI
[Sony Cross-Device General] Ticklefish:
I've got an idea about that. I'm trying something right now, in fact. Watch this space!
[Sony Cross-Device General] devilmaycry2020:
What's news ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Ticklefish:
Not much, unfortunately. I tried changing a stat_sys_battery_charging.xml to somc_sys_charging.xml. But it didn't work the way I wanted.

The level-list was ignored and only the first drawable was shown. Which is a bit of a puzzle. :confused:
[Sony Cross-Device General] XPS_93:
Hi, is there a chance to modify the Z2 systemUI into something like this? Please guide me to do this. :p
[Sony Cross-Device General] Ticklefish:
Should be simple enough. Can you share your status_bar.xml please?
[Sony Cross-Device General] John98Zakaria:
Awesome Guide but something off-topic

How did you change the font of the lockScreen
[Sony Cross-Device General] XPS_93:
Alright, this is it. Is pulling it out from systemui.apk using winrar enough or I have to decompile the apk for it?

Edit: I've reuploaded the xml file decompiled from systemui.apk
[Sony Cross-Device General] devilmaycry2020:
no no, you have to decompile system.apk, take out by winrar can not use because it was encrypted
[Sony Cross-Device General] Ticklefish:
I didn't. There isn't a picture of my lockscreen in this thread..:confused:

Thanks, I'll check it out. You know, xml files aren't exactly big. There's no need to archive them. :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] John98Zakaria:
That font isn't usual ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Ticklefish:
Oh, you mean my clock widget. I made it using 'Make Your Clock Widget' and a font called Respective.

I used the same font for my dock icons and my softkeys.
[Sony Cross-Device General] XPS_93:
You're welcome, and sorry I wasn't able to upload it straight as xml attachment isn't allowed in post so simply I compressed it. :laugh: I'm looking forward for your guidance, thank you :good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Ticklefish:
That's okay. :)

There's nothing unusual or different about your XML. Which is good.

The easiest thing to do is use this mod here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2356012

You'll be wanting to put the new line just under the signal_cluster line.
[Sony Cross-Device General] andybr1ggs:
I have the z3 compact the main thing I want to do is to change things visually, like battery icons (android one) boot screens etc etc (which i can do)

I know there is ways to change staus bar icons but just been looking for mods that can do it.

I installed xposed and some of there modules wouldnt change it automatically albeit there is some brilliant mods in there. Just a shame most of them are not compatible.

Thanks for reply.

also some people are able to change the carrier logo to a british flag etc etc and make soft keys same colour as there flag.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Ticklefish:
I've got a z3c too. It's a great handset.

To change the battery icon, try this link here: http://xdaforums.com/android/themes/how-to-change-battery-icon-kitkat-rom-t2919361

Adding a picture of a flag and changing the colour of status bar icons would be pretty straightforward. You just need to spend some time with an image editor.
[Sony Cross-Device General] abessi sofiene:
good job

Is this tuto available for all kitkat devices?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Ticklefish:
Only Sony devices. Sony did something to the battery icons in their KitKat roms and this is how to change it.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Poerdjoe:
Can u show me how to change battrey icon on nougat OS ? Samsung j7 prime.

[Sony Cross-Device General] daman215:
so do i change it to android:src or start the line with imageview
[Sony Cross-Device General] Ticklefish:
Neither. If you delete that line, you'll get a FC. You need to hide it and have a separate line with your new image.

Can you make battery charing like this ? Moving charging icon to inside battery icon, flashing then display percent.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2770174
[Sony Cross-Device General] Ticklefish:
The problem is that KitKat has changed how the battery icon works. That link is for Jelly Bean.

I can put the charging icon on top of the battery icon, that's very easy. But getting the charging icon to change with the battery level, as it does on previous versions of Android, is harder.

I am working on it though. It looks like we need to do some smali editing. Hopefully I'll have an update tomorrow.
[Sony Cross-Device General] devilmaycry2020:
:angel:

I don't know which one control charging icon layout, you can tell me?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Ticklefish:
Do you mean the xml file? Yes, it's 'somc_sys_charging.xml'.
[Sony Cross-Device General] devilmaycry2020:
No,no. I mean the position of charging icon, I can't find out

Oh, that's in status_bar.xml. The charging icon is this line here:

any chance of having tha charging animation in tha center of tha battery brov?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Ticklefish:
This is easily the most popular question I'm being asked right now! ;)

I'm working on it, my friend, I'm working on it. This is a smali mod and you know how much I love that!

I have been given a few suggestions from the Master himself, [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION] (Praise His Name) and I've been able to get an animation working...but so far it's stuck showing 0%.

As I write this, I'm compiling my next attempt so keep those fingers crossed!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Ticklefish:
Well, I've solved the problem of the charging animation. Now I just have to work out how to merge the charging icon with the non-charging icon...hmm...
[Sony Cross-Device General] serajr:
Bro... are they rendered on differents views (I don't remember)? If so, try to put both inside a RelativeLayout or FrameLayout that views will be overlapped!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Ticklefish:
Tried that. In fact, I was about to update the OP with a FrameLayout in the xml..then I tried it. The trouble is the charging icon's transparent..so you can see the battery icon underneath. Fine if the icon's designed with that in mind but most aren't.

I need the battery icon to vanish when the charging icon appears. I tried a vertical LinearLayout, thinking that the charging icon would push the battery icon off the top of the statusbar but that didn't work.

I suspect this may be a smali thing, not an xml thing. Hey..if only I knew someone who's good at smali that I could send a pm to... ;)

(Oh, and yes they're two different views. id/battery_icon and id/status.)
[Sony Cross-Device General] serajr:
It's a shot in the dark, but something like this:

From:

<LinearLayout android:id="@id/battery" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_marginStart="4.0dip">
[COLOR="Red"]<ImageView android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@id/status" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />[/COLOR]

which systemUI you used to make this tutorial ? because systemUI is different for own xperia running 4.3, the line you reference in BatteryController.smali is different on my TX 4.3. please help. thanks

anyway i didn't see 0x7f0200c9=somc_sys_battery_28 in BatteryController.smali of Z2 systemUI

and 0x7f020202=somc_sys_battery_28 in BatteryController.smali of TX 4.3 systemUI
[Sony Cross-Device General] Ticklefish:
This is a KitKat mod only.

Changing the battery icon in JellyBean, or any other previous version of Android, doesn't involve a smali edit.

Just replace the png files and two xml files. That's it, no renaming required.

There are even tools out there which can do the whole thing for you, like Tickle My Android.

Google changed things for KitKat and made it harder to change the battery icon. That's why I started this thread.
[Sony Cross-Device General] devilmaycry2020:
Okay,can you send to me systemUI file you used to mod.thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] Ticklefish:
Yes...but if you're on a JB rom, my KK SystemUI.apk won't be any good to you.

i took systemUI from latest Z2 FW but did't find 0x7f0200c9=somc_sys_battery_28 in any smali file, just found it in public.xml

[Sony Cross-Device General] Ticklefish:
Hmm...it might be easier if you're able to share your SystemUI.apk and your framework-res.apk so I can decompile it and see what's going on.

(By the way, what did you use to make that video with? I should be doing videos of some of my mods and I'm always on the search for a good video-making app.. :) )

[Sony Cross-Device General] mohoram:
Can you remove the icon of the battery, to leave only the animation of the battery charge?, Are equal, the only difference is that the icon of the battery is the% and the load is not, and to overcome the icons is a bit ugly.:confused::confused::confused:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Huncriter:
how can i make it work on cm11. systemui is different

here is my systemui
[Sony Cross-Device General] Ticklefish:
The battery icon shouldn't be a problem. I'm just sorting something out right now but I can hopefully get this sorted out today.

For the stamina icon, all you need to do is change the png file to a circle and move the stamina line in the xml to inside the FrameLayout.

Yes. Change the layout_width and layout_height of the battery icon in the xml to '0.0dip'.

There's not much I can do with just a SystemUI.apk on its own. I'll need your framework-res.apk as well, otherwise I won't be able to decompile it.

Can you also provide a screenshot as well?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Huncriter:
here is my systemui and framework
[Sony Cross-Device General] Ticklefish:
Well, I've just updated the tutorial again. Turns out the previous method didn't work quite the way it was supposed to.

Thanks to the supernaturally patient [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION], we've been able to come up with the right smali edits that will stop the battery icon from showing when the phone's charging. It has taken hours!!

But now this method is working properly and I advise everyone to head to the updated OP and check it out!
