ok, a few years back, my windows phone had this really cool app, it was a bar across the top that was 1 or 2 pixels tall, multi colored that displayed the amount of battery left. someone told me it was in a rom, but I can't find it to save my life. maybe one of you has seen it or knows which mod, or anything about it, because I would LOVE to have that stupid little bar back.
Thanks
Pat.

I think you are looking for BattLineSvc V2.1
Don't forget about Thanks
It's built in to Cyanogen mod, if that's available for your particular decide. Not multi color as far as I know though.

sorry if im mistaken, i dont think this feature is on cyanogen mod. It is however on most of the 'MIUI' roms, i think it is standard on there.
Is this possible to have standalone? This would complete my device.

damn, wish it was standalone.. I'm pretty loyal to my current rom, at least until I get the new samsung infuse or whatever it's called.
+1 here, i still use LvmTopBat in my winmo, in colour and its the best. easy to read and always there.
hoping for a port
I like the tactics here
MIUI has that option.

tried an miui sd build (by 3dak, very smooth build) and the top bar is sweeeet. a thin green line which filles up from the right when its charging, and on lockscreen.
i want, i want, want, but i dont want miui ;-)
it would be worth a few dollars even as a paid app,
anyone???
What' is the best launcher for lg g2x that won't mess up cause lately I have been getting google errors and by contacts lose the name and it just shows the numbers and I will have to reboot my phone then it will all go back to normal but then my launcher messes up like adw for instance I turn my phone back on then it's all weird everything starts back over and my theme is gone?. So I was wondering why the google thing does that and what may be the best stables launcher.

No lag here. GO is super smooth for me. Do you have your phone overclocked or underclocked/undervolted? Or have you installed a custom kernel?
Sounds like your phone is having issues that run deeper than your launcher.
I've tried a few, but I've stuck with GO. Every other one I tried was just disappointing...
and yea, that sounds like a phone issue, not a launcher issue.
No my phone is not rooted at allbits in good shape and the launcher I love and chose is launcher pre its really smooth and very nice but thank you for everything for the opinions appreciate it

I tried it and um its okay but this is off the topic but I wanna know what phone is better in yalls point of view LG g2x our HTC sensation?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I'm gonna go with the G2x, I no longer trust in HTC's reliability or in how they put thier stuff together after owning a HD2. Plus, I like the Tegra 2.
Its about preference. If I could go back I would change a thing. Well I would stop the part of dropping my phone and scraping it lol. Other then that I would not change a thing
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I would have probably not dismantled my HD2, you can get more for ones with a cracked screen on ebay than ones that have been completely taken apart, working or not. Plus I hate the fact that HTC tapes their digitizers to their phones, seems kinda hillbilly'ish if you ask me.
The stock launcher from Froyo!
i use go launcher and i think it lags a little but maybe it is just my phone. i still like it though
Thank you once again and ill give go launcher a.second change and I would try the stock froyo ha and LG g2x Tegra is Raw but I hate how this phone reboots by them self it gets annoying at times

I am currently using Thumb keyboard without any issues. The dev are even adding support for this phone (so I have read in another forum).
I'm currently using tablet version and only think with (sometimes) wrong size are suggestions, on short words only since the font size decreases on longer words.

I bought SwiftKey some time ago already and really don't have any problems at all.
It did update a couple of times without any issue.

I tried both Swiftkey X and Swiftkey Tablet X on my phone and both worked fine. I decided to use the tablet version because in landscape it splits the keyboard so I can reach it better.
Swiftkey X works fine for me

I am aware that I can choose different layout but as I get used to it I find it more easier to use. My passwords consists of various numbers and letters and I find it easier to type as the numeric keys are present on the same screen
On Swiftkey X I decreased the long press to 250ms from 500ms so I just have to hold the letter for a split second to get a number. It's pretty fast.

The people who make Switkey are aware of the issue and working on a fix (lekky emailed them to enquire).
Waiting for a size fix then. Need also more predictions.

ive got thumb keyboard, works fairly well here. it auto scales to suit the galaxy note when you choose the phone portrait setting. and you can also adjust the height of buttons and long press response times as well.

I haven't found a keyboard better than the Gingerbread or ICS keyboard yet. Nothing else can keep up with how fast I type. I like Swiftkey X a lot due to it's fairly accurate predictions, but I can't type as fast on it without it's multitouch getting confused.
Also, themes and apps section next time!
I've tried most and use go keyboard also. I struggle hitting the period button when pushing space on most keyboards, therefore I have to be using one with a long spacebar or a spacebar that is shaded to the left right next to the back arrow.

I do the same damn thing and it pisses me off sometimes. Sometimes I look back at something I wrote and I have a period like 7 times instead of a space.
I tried modifying the apk to increase the size of the spacebar, minimizing the size of the return or smiley key, however it didn't seem to change anything. If someone else is more experienced with modifying something like that, I would LOVE a new ICS keyboard build with a longer spacebar more than anything.
Hmmm...food for thought ajerman will look into that

Swift Key X. I honestly don't see how any keyboard could be any better. So many options, some alright themes and it corrects so quickly and I love the vibration every key. I hated it on Sammy's stock keyboard but it feels like I'm doing work. I can text so quickly and it will pick out nearly every butchered word. I love it. They have a month trial..

I've always used it. Best keyboard in my opinion.

Swiftkey would be my favorite if the multitouch was faster. It doesn't keep up well when you type fast.

I thought Go keyboard was pretty good at first until I tried its swiping capabilities which were awful. If you don't swipe the letters perfectly it doesn't seem to be able to determine what you were trying to write. I don't seem to have a problem with swiftkey lag. Maybe I just don't type fast enough
another +1 for Swift Key. Just a few minor quirks but with out a doubt the best as far as accuracy and speed.

Same way you do it with stock - you have to open up the app drawer, hit the menu button, then select edit. You may need to switch the view type first - do that, and then you can drag things from the app drawer into the dock and vice versa.
Hey again -
To the few that do try this rom out - feel free to drop suggestions for other things to try and work in (beyond lockscreens of course). While I do have one known (and one unknown) surprise ready, I'd like to get a few more things worked into an update if at all possible. I can't say I'll be able to work in what is suggested, but I'll give it a shot at least
Having an updated tw launcher or a different launcher with the ability to have 5 or 6 apps in the dock would be all that I would ask for. Everything else is fantastic. Thanks for all your efforts.

Yeah I've thought about such things, but I always circle back to the idea that there are so many great 3rd party launchers out there I should let it be to encourage folks to explore those options lol. I also am leery on putting in a launcher that has a pay version or has the whole ask-for-permission hassle (that's not really a hassle), but I'll keep my eyes peeled for something different.

Google Now should have been working - all the stuff from the referenced link was added for it anyway. How is it different now vs. when you first flashed the ROM? Could you get me a screenshot of what it looks like for you now? Perhaps I missed something...
LOL on the swag toggle - I meant to change how that behaved. The toggle is there for fun only, but to mess with people on the Gingerbread build I had it set to force download mode if you turned it on while auto-brightness is turned on - I forgot to change that, my bad
EDIT: Derp... I see what I forgot... Ok, it will be fixed in 2.1, sorry about that For those not wanting to go and flash anything, all you need to do is delete /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox_USA.apk and then reboot and all will be well. My bad.
Google now just wasn't there before. It was standard search. Now I've added it mine looks like this:

Yep - everything in that is already in the rom, I just forgot to remove an apk. D'oh.
First off - thanks to those that have offered some feedback on this, it is very much appreciated. That being said, I know not many have tried this out but I'm getting an update together, so I wanted to ask if anyone has noticed anything else not working quite as they expected or anything that should be changed/added/removed...?
I haven't come across anything I wanna do with the launcher yet, but I have cleaned up a few things in the toggles, Google Now is now working as it should, I fixed another little bug I found when you first turn on wifi after flashing... outside of that is there anything people have found that I should address before updating? No worries if not - like I said not many have tried this out, but I'd like to get all the little issues ironed out before updating if possible.
