ChargeBar is a free, fully-customizable, feature-packed MIUI battery bar for ANY Android device on ANY ROM, no root required! Hopefully everyone will give this a shot, we're sure you'll like it. It includes more customizations that the actual MIUI battery bar! Like the app? Don't forget to hit "Thanks!"
Feature include:
The ability to start when the device has finished booting.
Automatic hiding in full screen applications.
Hiding in the lock screen.
Displaying a status bar notification/ reminder.
Configurable animation style (normal, right-to-left/ inverted, and centered)!
1% battery indicator for supported devices (and a hack for Motorola devices including the Defy).
Charging animations.
Changing the color (choose a static color or an interval based on the remaining charge).
1% interval options for color (unlike other apps there are no predefined ranged like 0-20%, you can select as many ranges as finely as you want. Even choose a color for every percent!)
Changing the height.
Configurable position (top, bottom, bottom of status bar).
If possible please consider donating, it supports development as well as removes the permanent graphical links at the bottom of the app (they are not "ads" per-say nor does this app require the INTERNET permission). Please refrain from re-posting the APK anywhere! We will take care of updating it on our website.
While ChargeBar is no longer in beta that does not mean that there will not be bugs. If you run into any issues please send us an email with your device, firmware, description of the problem, screenshot/ logcat, or any other relevant piece of information.

It looks great. Ill try it out whenever I can download it.
Awesome! Can you add an option to change color after a specific battery level? Like Change color to red after 15%
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
nice job....just what i need....like the animation when is charging
Thanks guys, I will certainly look into custom colors for specific levels and/ or times of the day but I don't want to look it into say 15%, 30%, etc. so I need to come up with a clever interface and ContentProvider to handle this.
Downloaded to my Xoom.
Works as well as the team battery bar app from market.
On 4.0.3 under status bar goes about 1cm from top of screen not at the bottom.

Ah, yeah. I don't have a tablet to develop or test on so that makes sense. I've got an idea how to fix that but am not entirely sure.

wow was dreaming of this to come to Android
it was in the days of Windows Mobile 5 (2006) and SPB Pocket Plus 4.0.0 (2007) which came up with this idea...
and now
IMPLEMENTED ON ANDROID ! LOVE YOU!

The latest update available on the Android Market or our website now has this fixed. The position option "Bottom of Status Bar" is not "Top of System Bar" for Honeycomb+ tablet users.
Keep checking in for more updates, and when possible consider donating.

Any chance of getting it under the status bar in ics?

Great stuff. Using it now.
some1 reported that it almost messed his device by changing the Height to a very high amount, like 600-700-800 range
only way was to wait till battery dropped and could see his screen again
suggest to limit the amount
Looks nice but i can't seem to make it show above your super status bar+ app.
Best thing that I can do is to make it show at the bottom

Alright, I've set the height in the latest version (beta two) to 99px, just to be sure that it can't do "too" much damage. Of course this option should be used with caution even at 99px, but it should minimize the impact.
Check out the Android Market or our website for the latest APK.

Fantastic app. Back in Windows Mobile times I used a similar one. One option I really liked was an ability to set the color to rainbow style (RGB spectrum). It made the bar really visible no matter what the background was. Could you think of implementing it in future versions?
I set everything and start the app but i don't see the bar in any location i tried. I tried bigger height but still nothing. Process is running. Any help?
Swyped from my Galaxy mini
i got this on my tf101 whithout knowing its only weeks old and i have found the thread for it !!!
following on from rgb i think the low battery states should be red then yellow then green. making a gradient
I flashed Viper XL and ticked the option to completely remove sense.
As well as remove a lot of the HTC apps I don’t find useful.
I have chosen apex for my default launcher.
1. Is the ‘recent apps’ page part of sense and has been removed? The recent apps key now shows the apex menu.
2. When I pull down the notification bar, the background is transparent, I find it a little annoying, and no settings to change it. Am I not looking hard enough?
3. I find the built in Viper options for status bar customization a little lacking.
I have tried a few apps, Super Status Bar has been the best ive come across so far, but im still not overly happy with it.
Any suggestions on one I might have missed with full customization to add / remove / reposition elements?
4. Lock screen, same as above. Viper & apex have nothing standard.
Ive searched the market and the only one i like is Widget Locker.
However its not overly smooth in its unlock animation, and there arent many add ons.
I want something with different styles of lock screen and the ability to add widgets.
5. Im using my data manager to keep on top of data usage because of high data issues I hope will be rectified now that sense wont be pull 1mb per hour for “o/s services”
But I would like an app with a widget to show active data transfer, not just overall usage.
EG; a back ground process starts pulling data, my home screen widget shows me data is in use.
Any suggestions?
6. I have had a world of pain with mp3 players.
I don’t like stock, or google play.
Ive tried zing, n7, player pro, winamp, zeno amp, power amp, and others.
I have issues ranging from cover art not displaying, music playing randomly even if another player is playing, music stopping when I open another app or even the app drawer / recents.
I would really love suggestions on a nice clean mp3 player that plays music when its told to & displays what is should without errors.
If anyone knows Ultimate Faves Pro, i really like the carousel.
I saw it in a video tutorial and it looked like a widget sitting on the home screen.
For some reason when i launch it, the background goes to filled colour, even though i have it set to transparent.
Ive tried everything in the background options, no avail.
Anyone know this app, or a similar one?
Thanks for taking the time to read my essay.

Coming from Nokia's N9 myself I realy miss some of the feature of the Meego OS, and was wondering if these are available on android:
Is it possible to get a function to "swype" downwards to close an app ?.
Also is it possible to get a quick "mini menu" where the top status bar is - where one could togle things like blutooth, wifi, etc.
Also how does one "clear" the status messages without having to click everyone of them ?.
Is there also a way to close all apps (I know the Galaxy Tab have this feature - but I guess that is something built into some samsung stuff) ?

My friend looking at your post, it seems like you are not familiar with the term called "rooting" and "custom roms".
Three of the features out of four you've asked are there in custom roms.
The swype down feature.. Looks interesting BUT i am afraid so far we haven't seen it in android yet.

Yea - know there is way to root it - but haven't realy looked into it as this is a company phone, so would like to keep it "clean" - was hoping maybe some launcher/apps would add this functionality.
However I found the nexus actually have a quick mini menu at least Not sure it provide everything I wanted but it's a start
thnx for the reply
Root + Xposed + Gravity will do all except swipe down.

That's the closest thing I know of for swipe down to close apps. It can close apps by swiping from any edge you want, but requires the Xposed framework
Any gesture navigation app will give you the "swype downwards to close an app" ***current app
Just set the gesture
There are a couple of problems with the things you wish to do as far as I can see it:
1) swiping downwards to close an app will cause you some issues in the long run, specifically given that this is how you open the notification panel. From the videos of the N9 that I have seen, the close-app gesture is started from the edge of the screen, not somewhere in the middle? This is exactly how you open the notification panel...
2) It's not as quick as it could be (yet) but there is a mini-menu for toggles in the notification pull-down if you pull down with two fingers, or pull down with one then tap the icon in the top right
3) There should be a little icon looking like three staggered rectangles in the notification pull-down when you have multiple status messages. Tapping this should clear all status messages.
4) Closing all apps on Android is (generally) a bad thing to do. With Meego (and Maemo before it), all open applications are true multi-tasking so will be holding active RAM in use in the background so closing all running apps has a practical use (I used to use an N900). With Android, however, we actually only have a partial hybrid multi-tasking, where only apps with an API call to explicitly stay active will remain fully active in the background (eg. music playback). Everything else is put into a partial suspend state. If you keep fully closing everything, then Android will have to re-open it from ROM rather than RAM which will have a detrimental effect on your battery life. This is heavily paraphrased from an Android development engineer. As for Samsung, this is basically pandering to customer ignorance who still think that anything in the "recents" menu is draining their battery because that's how it works with Windows. To put it very bluntly, Android is better at memory management than you are
Unlike with Meego/Maemo, the entries in the Recents menu are not actually all open and active. As the name suggests, this is only a "history" list of apps you have had open since boot. The lower down this list, the more likely it may still be active, but not guaranteed.
Sorry if any of the above is borderline patronising, but I feel that this sort of Android RAM misinformation needs to be explained whenever I see it! :silly:

Swipe down to close app is there in Xposed using swipe back module.
You can read that Swipe back has a feature to change thje swipe edge , top to bottom or vice versa

Thanks for the clarification appreciated
Yea the N9's screen is part of the swype system (the screen sides are curved), as it differs from swyping from the edge of the screen or within - it's the same from the sides, one can either swype from edge of the screen - flipping thru the apps that is open - or one can swype from just inside the edge to scroll thru f.ex images in an image viewer - the N9 also have a "notification" bar - or atleast a "top" bar, but that's activated only by a touch of the top line (where it shows status) - instead of dragging it down.

Clearly based on other responses there is an Xposed module that allows you to close and app with a downwards swipe, so my response may not therefore be the whole truth
With some sort of selectable "active area" of the Xposed swipe you might be able to get the best of both worlds; i.e. swipe from top left downwards to close current program, or top middle and top right to open notifications? (or any combination thereof of course!)

Hi guys!
I just installed Pac rom KK, which works great. I'm almost fully done playing with it
Unfortunately I get stuck at the very end with something that to me (as a user, not a dev) seems quite trivial.
Seeing how I've tried to find different solutions for many hours without making any progress, I turn to you in desperation.
What I want to achieve is a clean home screen (like a painting, and nothing else, not even navigation bar) along with no use of physical buttons.
I've set everything up with full screen, gestures, pie control, and all the good stuff which makes the phone easy to navigate.
What I have left to do, and where I am stuck is:
- adding app drawer to something other than the icon, and physical buttons (basically meaning quick settings, pie control or gestures)
- removing app drawer logo from the home screen, along with the home screen dot (the one showing which home screen, and if more also how many there are)
- also locking home screen (meaning that it won't bounce)
For you who have taken the energy to read this far (which I very much thank you for), I'm sure you realize that these are easy fixes.
Thing is...I don't want to use a launcher such as nova or AWD.
...I don't want do download another pie control for the sake of having one where you simply (being the keyword) can add app drawer.
....I have removed navigation bar (which I want removed), so can't use navigation actions.
I'm sorry for being so extremely picky, but I've spent to many hours trying to get this juuuust right. I hate basically dumping this on you guys, but I'm really at loss here.
The "easiest" workaround I could come up with was to write a small app, which only function would be to open the app drawer, and then hook it up to Pie Control. Only problem is, I can't code for sh#t. I do have Xposed, so a nice and slim Xposed solution would suit me just fine. The only thing I want to keep away from is apps doubling in function (one gesture app doing this and that) and/or apps that might have a problem interacting.
If anyone would care to help me with this, I would be so grateful.
Thank you so much on beforehand!

Well tasker can do most of this, like mapping the action of opening the app draw on certain events on the pie controllers or hardware button press. the only thing it cannot do is hide the app draw button. as far as I'm aware, this cannot be archived without changing the launcher. although perhaps changing its icon to a transparent one may help in this matter.

Thank you very much for your help!
I will look into it, and I'll repost my fix
Emerald Launcher is a simple home screen for Android phones. It is based on TinyLaunch code with lots of improvements and is in beta stage. It provides some features to make it easy and nice to use. You can resize layout as you wish, apply icon packs, easily access apps via search or sort them by categories.
Download from Google Play
Source code on GitHub
Any help is appreciated. Please feel free to post suggestions or report found bugs here. Thanks.
Surprising not to see comments here. Just found it on F-Droid and think this is a fantastic launcher implementation. No unnecessary permissions, no ads, no statistics or analytics, good customization, fast.
Thank you so much for developing this. Still playing with it and personalizing. ( Came from using KISS launcher for quite a while. )
I was wondering if it would be possible to change a single application's icon ( or all of them but without installing an icon pack ) and found a workaround...
PNG files generated in Emerald's cache folder at /data/data etc can be replaced, one by one or all of them. No need for icon packs. In case this is useful to anybody.
（ ^_^）
Hello,
i also would like to thank the developer for this nice launcher. I tried it and found it great, but...
i'd like to have the ability to search contacts and settings and not only apps as Emerald does. Is it possible to add this feature as well as widget support?

Not to sound rude, but the lack of those features is a huge plus for me. Plenty of other launchers are loaded with functions such as those. Try KISS or OpenLauncher for instance, just to mention two out of dozens.
Hello.
Thank you everyone for the support and sorry for the late reply. @Ultramanoid, I came from KISS myself. It is fine, but lacks some features such as folders and grid layout, that's why I've forked TinyLaunch and started to modify it.

I'm going to add support for shortcuts, so it'll be possible to search through contacts if you add them on the homescreen. About settings... I think that settings search is unnecessary, because it won't speed up toggling much. Widgets are most likely not to be implemented. You can use EcoHome as a separate screen for widgets, it's very lightweight.
I'm looking for help with testing alpha versions of Emerald. If you want to help, please e-mail me at [email protected] and I'll send you the latest apk with instructions. I have to mention that test apks won't include features for Nougat and Oreo, so if you use these OS versions, please be ready to some bugs and make a backup of preferences. Thanks.
Might want to updated the link so it's not the description (should be this): Download From Play Store
Very nice launcher. I'm using on Nougat on a very special kind of phone (F25). I'm having a problem with an icon pack though. It just contains 2 icons but doesn't get applied in any way.
Okay but.....
Just gave it a quick try and here are my results
1 - adding to the dock, on my phone the home/back/recents button gets in the way. Seems to fix it if I turn the phone landscape and then back. But then it comes back as soon as I touch the menu on the top left - see screen shot.
2 - no shortcuts or 1x1 widgets - not sure how basic you want the launcher to be.
3 - on my phone I prefer to be able to move the things. like your search bar, etc. My phone is an HTC M8, anything that requires 2 hands to do (or reaching to the top of the screen) is annoying.
4 - since you only have 1 screen, maybe making gesters do something - like making swiping on any part of the screen switch categories (instead of the top of the screen).
5- Maybe allow changing the size of the text for the apps on the screen.
6 - If you set to just text, the dock has all little green android
might be more, but not ready for prime time, good luck.

Hello, @bradley_e_smith. Thank you for the review.
1. This issue was discovered already, but I can't reproduce it, because there is no phone with on-screen buttons to test it.
2. Shortcuts are planned and widgets are not.
3. I've updated the app recently. Now it's possible to move the main bar and apps to the bottom.
4. Yes, I'll probably add gestures soon.
5. The text size can be changed through appearance settings.
6. It's a known issue. I don't know what could be the best option to show. There are three possible options:
- always keep dock icons in cache;
- show text labels in dock.

Very nice launcher. I'm using on Nougat on a very special kind of phone (F25). I'm having a problem with an icon pack though. It just contains 2 icons but doesn't get applied in any way.

Hello. Please could you answer some questions to help? Does this icon pack work with other launchers? Is it listed in Icon Pack option? Thanks.

Hello,
This icon pack is working with Lawnchair launcher at least. I have not tried on other launchers. It's listed in Emerald Launcher settings.
