Need help- white space line on up side after wirmware updating - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

hi Folks.
I can share with you my trouble there is the white thin space upper then toolbar
So When I have 2.3.2 wirmware it was hidden at all - I have not got it but now I update my Samsung Skyrocket and it is apparent
How can I fix it? without wirmware updating/ what's wrong I do ?

That looks to be a battery bar, is it not?

That line indicates your battery percentage. It's called Team Battery bar. Some custom roms come with it. The service can be disabled easily. Just find the app and you can uncheck a checkbox. Great functionality, but from an aesthetic point of view, it is a train wreck. It is the first thing I turn off.

thanks. e... guys you are right I just plugin my device ti the charger and prove your versions. But how I can block the line ?

Thanks so funny! Most people love this feature. Maybe you should give it a try. Change it's color to something you like.
That was an MIUI only feature for the longest. I use it on all my devices and have for years.

So I know thats the question do not related with the topic but guys
How can I add Russian language on keyboard with the switcher option to switch English-Russian, I guess some kinds of modes on Playstore is allowed to get it- but I don't which one is good for the firmware
Many thanks
PS: Android 4.0 is brilliant. I so happy with that.

oh, Scott I understood what you mean but at the Team battery Bar where I check battery volume in digits and levels diagram + I have colorspace level in line view:laugh:. ...
I guess it looks pretty complicated for me - data dublicating
I know the suggestion is lock digits and diagram view but how can i do it ?

[Q] Simple Battery-Indicator.xap

Welcome together,
would be great if a devloper a simple "Battery-Level-Indicator.xap" (%) could make.
Is it possible or not?
I am also looking for a way to prevent the battery charging when my device is connected to USB.
There exists a possibility?
Thanks for all suggestions.

Oke i can take a look once i have some projects done and im not sure if i can just use fiinix code so you should ask him first if we can use it (its fine i think). What do you have in mind as the design?
Note: Its not possible to make a live tile for the battery so dont expect this.

Good question.
Preferably the top right of the original battery indicator in%.
- Joking aside, it may be a simple page with the current battery level indicator in%.
E.g. if you click on the app icon will open a new page and immediately see how much% of the battery still has.
In any case I thank you for your help.
PS: Had "fiinix" with the request sent a PM.

Precisely a simple app that would show in a percentage how much battery life is left would be perfect. Nothing fancy is really necessary. A good example would be one of those windows gadgets for notebooks that shows the battery a gauge on the battery and then a percentage out to the right or even on the battery.
If this gets made I will only be lacking one more app and my phone will be perfect.

Thank you very much.
A small problem I have now:
I also installing the "PhoneRestartApp" with the "fiinix code" on the device.
Now with the installation of the "BatteryTool" (also called "fiinix code") uninstalled the "PhoneRestartApp" automatic.
Conversely, it is the same problem.
Both apps at the same time on the device does not work.
If it is possible to fix this, I would be very happy, thank you very much.

?????? Thanks, but do not understand what you mean
Till now, I loose 2h for nothing for the same result like befor.
And jes, I write the name to an other name.
Both apps at the same time on the device does not work!
I like to write again, I can not program and do not understand the M$ crap.
So please, can someone write the Battery-Meter so that both the Battery-Meter, like the PhoneRestartApp at the same time on the device and remains so.
Thank you.
Fixed
Here's the fixed xap, enjoy!
Thanks a lot, now work like a charm together with the "PhoneRestartApp".
Top and perfect.
Now, all we need is a live tile for it...
No seriously though, this is great, thank you. On LG, the Diagnosis menu (MFG APP) doesn't give battery left status like some other phones do, so this is very useful.
PS: I was serious about the live tile though XD
now just add a live tile function please
cool tool

Great idea!!! Any reason why only honeycomb and ice cream sandwich? Not that it matters, this will be very useful on tablets
Thank you!
Why only ICS and HC? Because it doesnt work with multitouch in versions of android before 3.0!
Suggestion:
Add an option to show the active dead zone with maybe a semitransparent background

You can already do this using the editor... or do you mean add an option to always display the deadzones (in a very transparent way)?

I like the idea of rounding ther corners of the dead zones. Maybe even animating them...
Yes - and the buttons should jump up as the zones squeeze them together
I've just downloaded this and I don't have any problems so far.
Maybe you can place some tiny icon somewhere on the screen so people can easily disable it? Idk, but I think not everyone will be pleased with this suggestion.

You can use the notification - it has various actions you can pick. The trouble with always using an overlay (to make your button) is that it will slow things down...

I really like it. Works well when holding my Galaxy Nexus!
However, the screen filter (which is a great feature) makes everything lag on my phone.
I wonder if that's because there are too many pixels to re-render with such an HD screen? I don't know if there's any way round it!

[APP][2.0+] Statusbar enabler in full screen app - Smart Statusbar

This app is developed by the same Dev who makes the popular Android Apps Button Savior, Smart Taskbar, and Everywhere Clipboard.
Smart Statusbar is the first and only statusbar enabler for full screen apps on android devices. No more lose track of time or important info on statusbar when you are reading, playing, or watching movie.
To enable statusbar, just do a simple top down swipe from top of screen. By default, statusbar will shows 5 seconds. You can also adjust the timeout to your preference in settings.
Please note. This app doesn't work on Honeycomb and ICS based Tablets. They are very different from phone version of Android. So no statusbar hidden problem on those tablets. So do not download if you want to use it on ICS or HC tablets.
NO ROOT REQUIRED!
FEATURES
☆ Reveal statusbar in full screen apps
☆ Gesture activation
☆ Works on 2.0 and up
☆ Adjustable statusbar enabling duration
☆ Vibration hint

jerryfan2000 thanks for bring another amazing tool for us. This app is simply amazing. wow!
By the way, is it possible to disable statusbar by gesture instead of timeout?
This feature is already in my mind. I will for sure add it.
wow! really, really great app! I'm going to do a review on this for my YouTube channel. My viewers are going to LOVE this!
Great job! awesome settings, easy to use and understand. Great beginning tutorial!
Very very well done simple app.

I thought my setting was too few too simple. Great that you likes the simple setting design.
Hello,
Is that possible to add a mod in order to make all the applications in full screen ?
Great app, I've got a handfull of requests/observations but please don't think I'm complaning at all, the app does exactly what it's supposed to, I've just got a lot of idea's. I second Prockkaii's post about making all apps full screen, I would love to see that added to this. I know in CM7 there's you can make holding menu hide the statusbar but you have to do that for every app and I don't believe it sticks after a reboot. Also a bottom statusbar option would be nice and just so you know when I tried using the bottom statusbar in cyanogen I couldn't bring the statusbar up with the top gesture either. It would also be nice to be pulling the shade down from the gesture instead of swiping once to bring up the statusbar and then a second time to slide down the shade. It would also be nice if the bar would pop up automaticaly on a notification.
In reply the request from IvanNCase and Prockkaii. I indeed had plan to add this feature but i am still trying. It is not easy. So maybe will never make it at all. But I will try my best to introduce this feature.
Request: try to make it use less Ram if you can

Thanks for the feedback.
In fact, my fear is that I'd used my Galaxy s2 for about 6 months, and during this period I'd never activate the rotation and all my applications are showing the status bar.
And now on a white screen, I see that there is a mark of the status bar. On right side, I can even see the mark of the battery.
So that's why I would like to have this feature and not remove the status bar.
But again thanks for you apps.

I think you have a screen issue like me.
I'm currently using the pixel fixer in order to fix that. I'm running it for about 2 or 3h per day, let's see what happens in 2 weeks.
Awesome!
Working like a charm so far! HTC Inspire 4G, LordClockan ICS 4.0.3. Keep up the good work! Exactly what I was looking for.
tried this out on my Galaxy Nexus and it worked perfectly as described. However, there is some lag that it particularly noticeable when scrolling through home screens and the app drawer. Once this lag is fixed/eliminated then this app will be perfect!

(Req) since xposed is now useless...

I figured the knowledgeable people here could point me to apps (that require root or not) that do things that xposed used to do but now can't:
•Slide on notification bar for brightness (not an actual slider just able to slide)
•lockscreen app targets
•edit quick toggles in any way shape or form
•edit nav bar height
•change recents button into a menu button and remove three dot menus
•advanced power menu options
any info is appreciated!

I wouldn't say it's useless. The developer has stated if he can find a way to bring it to Lollipop, that he will. Rather it's just unusable for now.
Sent from my Nexus 5 on Lollipop 5.0
Lollipop just came out.
Its going to take time to get get custom roms and features rolling
Users need to stop with the [Request] threads. You want something bad enough, learn to dev and make it happen. MOD EDITED - BE RESPECTFUL!!!
Most of the things you mentioned have to be a system modification not an app. Check out the lollipop custom ROMs, some of them have a few of the features you desire. It might be a few months to get Xposed working if possible even. You could always revert to 4.4.4 too.

Perhaps you can share the apps you found so far? Im following your thread bro.
Xposed is just so good, it became a must in my phone. I want so many features from it and its modules too
I search for xposed at least 3 times per day and i didnt find any useful information but a reply of rov89 a month ago saying it was going to be hard to merge xposed to lollipop because of new ART runtime. So i find this post very useful as we can share temporary patches until xposed is released for lollipop.
* Intelli3G: Your internet is set to EDGE while phone is locked, but when you unlock it you get 3G/4G (until you lock)
* Lots of gravitybox features:
-change battery icon and clock position in the info bar ( percentage + circle battery!)
-flash activated when you pulse the lockscreen for 3secs (stupid ye but very useful for me)
* Burnt toast: that was so cool (show app icon in toast--> superSU permissions)
*App settings: so i can put safari in immersive mode
Cant remember more at the moment but if you know any app with similar features post them here please
For battery percent:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.kroegerama.android4batpercent
On Lollipop the percentage is visible even with full battery.
You know if Xposed doesn't come back I am kinda okay with it. Towards the end of Kitkat it seemed like any really useful app that came out needed Xposed to run. It was like as if app creators ran straight towards Xposed instead of using different methods. I know for some things you needed to be able to hack further than root allows but I would guess that a few Xposed modules could have achieved the same result through different means. I'm probably wrong though.
As well intentioned as this thread was, it still got almost completely derailed... Shame.
One feature I'm looking forward to is customizing the slides on Lock screen.
Dialer and camera shortcuts are great but I am so spoiled now.

This is a development site and as such keep this thread on topic
People are looking for alternate solutions while Xposed is being worked on to be ART compatible
So either contribute or don't post!

Is there any way to theme icons without a launcher? As far as I know, no launchers support Google Now (which I really like having as a screen), which is, unfortunately, my biggest deterrent. While devs adjust to the finer points of ART, I really, really miss my icons. ;_;

[Personal Review] Galaxy S7 edge Nougat beta firmware

Hi guys here you have a proper review of the Nougat firmware for the S7 edge based on my personal experiences.
So I installed it yesterday night via odin thx to @laimonas777.
With my own experiences I can say it is not as nice as I had thought.. It's hard to use, it's full with small bugs and delays and sometimes it can even freeze up to 30 seconds (My experiences).
Every app has got the new GraceUI of the Galaxy Note 7 including the settings app.
One of the best Nougat features, the display scaling option has got "only" 2 different options which do not differ that much from the standard option.
Let's talk about the Notification panel. You now have 6 toggles visible at the top but you cant swipe anymore. When you pull the statusbar twice you will see 9 toggles per page. Its much harder to find one toggle you are searching for because of the 3 toggle pages. On Marshmallow all toggles were visible in one "page".
Also the colors could have been better but I think everyone has its own opinion there.
Something which is also weird is that you have a search bar on the notification panel but actually you cant type anything in there. Instead, this textfield will just open the finder app.
The camera has got newer options and a totally different but perfect UI which I really like. But the new color modes are actually not that important features and were also aviable partially in 6.0.
Lets move on to the recent apps panel, which is a big pain.. The recent items got taller just like in stock nougat but the scrolling is a very big pain. Its just as the android nougat developer preview 1 for nexus devices also there are some minor graphical glitches which I have shown in the video.
Another thing I want to mention are the notifications. And yes, they are ugly but i am sure samsung will fix that. On every notification where you can tap for an action (example whatsapp, to reply) is a grey bar, which looks horrible. You can see it in the attached ss
Performancewise it hasnt got big changes but dont forget the delays when opening some specific apps etc. The battery consumption is also a bit higher but all these will get fixed with the final build (hopefully).
But now lets talk about the positive things :silly:. The Multiwindow option has got much better than it was on all other touchwiz versions, in short, its almost the same as in stock android nougat. Another thing which is perfect is the Window apps mode where you can open apps in window mode. We all know how bad this option was in Touchwiz, maybe no one of you ever have used it but now the window mode is very good and snappy. The negative thing there is that you cant deactivate these both modes anymore. So always when you try to pull down the notification panel from the right or left top corner, it will just open the current app always in window mode which is quite annoying.
And something which is annoying like hell is that if you play a game like doodle jump where you dont need to touch the screen the screen always turns off after a while. So the auto screenoff option doesnt get disabled while playing games or (maybe) even while watching a movie.
Galaxy Labs is now removed, so now you cant get all apps on your homescreen and you cant hide the appdrawer.
Remember that this is a very early beta build, and all of these bugs are normal and wont be there in the finale build.
Here is a quick video about the update to see how it looks
What about a dark theme...it was rumoured that Android N will have a dark theme not only that light one. Also the existing themes in store (for Samsung) work properly on N or not?

Keep in mind this is the frist beta released from samsung, so some things might hopefully change by the release of the final firmware. Also, you do have scaling other than going through the developer options. Go to Display -> Font and you will get to cgoose both the Screen zoom (which is set to almost huge idk why) and of course the font size. This comes to be as tha Normal and Condensed options back from marshmallow.
Hey glad to help. nice rview my friend. . :good:
P.S What happened to the hand?
I'm using the ota build and its running lovely to be fair
Touchwiz is rubbish anyways and just install nova which makes Icons smaller

Hello, thank you for great review. Could you confirm one exciting feature of android 7 (atleast for me) that it works on this phone beta software.
As of Android 7.0 phone can read 2G/3G/LTE frequency without ROOT. Easiest way is to install app Cellmapper(mapping cell towers to map) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cellmapper.net.cellmapper&hl=en
Could you run this app and post screenshot while connected to LTE only(no wifi)? Also, maybe send debug report from settings menu to developer with screenshot.
Thank you

Strange review .... I have been using it also since yesterday, and it is faster and smoother then my MM stock ...
Agreed there is some laggs when double tapping the multi tasking bouton, but overall its snapier and more responsive.
Also I have not noticed any freeze. I find this beta very polished to be honest.
Have you done a full wipe before installing ? or OTA ?

sometimes it can even freeze for about 30 seconds.

Thank you. Does not seem to report more info than in android 6.0.1. If you see LTE band reported on Cellmapper screen you can make another screenshot, but it seems that this functionality might not be there.
It's not a review, it's a rant. I literally have no issues with it, no freezes what so ever, it's actually snappier than MM.
I think the 'review' tag should be removed from this thread or it should be locked, as it is full of false information and the corrections to that false information have been given, but the 'review' hasn't been updated. If people read this thread thinking it is accurate, they will get false information.
The comment about display options, for instance, is just the OP not knowing what to do. It's not something wrong or an option that has been removed, it's just a lack of knowledge.

Yeah, I don't get that with any app. The only thing a bit laggy is the "new window" tab animation in the browser and the notification bar. Apart from those two things, it is fine.
