[REQ] (since settings>privacy is gone) Mod so txts don't show/scroll on lock screen

[REQ] (since settings>privacy is gone) Mod so txts don't show/scroll on lock screen
Sorry for the long-winded title, but for whatever reason I no longer have the "Privacy" screen that used to be in Settings>Privacy under "Lockscreen" and "Display message text":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15544620&postcount=10
Why would that now be missing and can someone possibly find a way to get that setting back? I don't need it on a toggle setting like in that screenshot, would rather it just always be that way. Thanks in advance for any input.

Have you asked/looked in the Themes and Mods section?

I did and found nothing except a mod to move the scroll from the notification bar to the bottom of the lock screen. There is nothing regarding not showing the text on the lock screen whatsoever. That Settings>Privacy setting did just that but now it is gone for whatever reason.

What ROM are you on? What sense version is the rom? What mods/themes have you tried or already on?

I'm running Fresh Evo 4.2 (gb 2.3.3) and just running ADW launcher. Only mods are the Super Circle battery mod and clock delete from the notification bar.

Your question belongs in the thread for the ROM you're running.
I have the setting to which you're referring in the ROM I'm running.
Please PM a mod to delete this thread, and ask the question in the correct thread.

There are other Evo users who are running STOCK gb who also lost that setting so it doesn't seem to be specific to my ROM whatsoever:

Either way, your post belongs in Q&A, or General, as it's not Development.
To troubleshoot any type of issue like this, the first step is always to see if it's like that before you make any mods. I would advise you to do a nandroid backup of your current setup, and then wipe everything and re-flash the ROM. If the Setting is there on a fresh flash, then one of your mods is causing the issue. If it's not, then it would have to be a ROM (or device) issue.
Have you tried that?
You could also full wipe and try flashing the ROM linked in my signature, since I've confirmed that the setting exists. If it doesn't exist for you, on a fresh flash, full/complete wipe (everything except SD card), then the issue lies elsewhere (i.e. not the ROM)

Not being rude, obscene but this kinda of sounds just like the sprint reps stuff like a computerized generated responce, also it is there getting no talk because nobody truly reads the Q&A section. I have the issue also.
once again NOT being rude or obscene just stating a thought about stuff

Regardless if anyone reads Q&A or not, that is where this post belongs... well at least there or Themes/Mod. It looks like there already is a post about this in Q&A too.
Also, I beg to differ. If you look at General and Q&A, both are very frequently traveled. Almost every question asked has a reply of some sort.
As to OP, it seems to be 2.3.3 specific, so you would have to ask someone to mod this or ask HTC to fix it.

+1 github and leo...Throwback, I wasn't meaning any disrespect or back-talk, but i also think this belongs right here. It isn't a theme or an app, it is a feature that disappeared in the latest update for whatever reason. Github, thank you for the input. I don't know why that page went away and I guess I'll just wait to see if someone can mod it but in the meantime I'll contact HTC and see if I can make any headway.

I think there is a mod for this by steelh himself...you can get to it from the lock screen mod thread pinned in the themes and apps section...might be the one you need.

That's correct. There's a mod from JsChiSurf for Froyo and I ported it over to GB.

[Q] SKY ICS update 7 missing "select input method"

Hello,
Has anyone noticed that you no longer have the "select input method" notification in update 7? I had it in update 4. When I went over to update 7 (and subsequently 8), that option is missing. So the only way to change input method is to go all the way into settings. The notification is available after the base zx install, but the update wipes it out. Is there a simple setting somewhere to turn it back on? I searched in this and the dev forums and cannot find it.
Otherwise it's a great ROM. Thanks dev!

This is a one time thing. U don't change input method all the time on the fly. It is a bug none the less, but one that may only bother a select few users... maybe only u

Did the dev explicitly say that? GB was long press in the input part to bring up the option to change input method. I'm pretty sure the notification is ICS's replacement, as the stock Nexus does this. You have to explicitly turn it off in a custom rom. Some kind of shortcut is needed for many many multi-lingual users. I use English most of the time except for a chat app. Don't have to have the notification if bothers others, but a shortcut to bring up the dialog should definitely be available.
seanzscreams, can you please comment? It's a great ROM and thanks.

If ur looking for dev feedback, comment in the rom dev thread, send a pm, or both. He probably won't see it here.

I get bored easily lol, xda is what keeps me entertained . My current goal is 3000 posts in the next two months and a 500+ thanks meter. Helping people is good

base to update changes a lot
I've noticed that the non-wipe updates on this ROM do change or eliminate some of the cooler features of the base. For instance, the settings in the base have the different colored, more detailed icons, while the update changes them all to boring blue.
As for the input method, I believe that in ICS, you change that under settings, language and input. In ICS, you can choose multiple keyboards or input methods, with one as "default". I haven't experimented yet, but perhaps the option to switch only shows up if you have multiple input methods selected? Can anyone verify this?
I'm new, so I hope this helps...
EDIT: Yeah, I tried checking off three different keyboards, but the long-press feature isn't there. Now I remember the notification bar change in ICS. The only way I can find to change the keyboard in this ROM is to go into settings and change the default. Not too bad of a task, but more tedious than before. There may be some shortcut apps in the play store that could help?

Isnt there an option on your status / menu bar... That's were it is in smooth ice

You'll make that in the next week.......!!

Thanks LPMatt and droid512. I know in most other ICS ROMs, including stock, the standard way to change input method is to use the little icon in the status bar. That's what I meant by "change input method notification". I also know you can always go through settings to change. To go through settings, I would have to get out of the app I'm using and it's a lot of hassle. Dating back to eclaire Android has provided the shortcut (used to be long press until ICS changed it to the notification/status bar). Looks like Sky ICS ROM latest update just disabled a standard feature, either intentionally or unintentionally. While icenight89 is quite knowledgeable in general, I think he's misinformed about the nature of the feature because he doesn't have to use different keyboards for different languages. It is indeed a standard feature in ICS, not a "one time thing" or bug. I don't have enough posts to post in the dev forum that's why I posted here to see if any other multi-lingual user of Sky ICS has encountered this. I have also PM'ed the dev.

I'm quite knowledgeable?? Aww shucks, thanks friend.
To be honest, u are absolutely correct, I am not a multi-lingual user so I did not even know this feature was present. Based on the discussion I assume your talking about a quick select shortcut from the drop down menu that let u change ur keyboard on the fly?
If that is so its quite possible and highly likely he disabled it in the latest update, as that feature would be present in either systemui.apk or framework-res.apk, all of which were updated in D-7. My advice? See if u can get D-6 off someone then flash the base, D-6 and then D-8 until he gets around to fixing it

See you just proved your knowledge in pointing out the 2 possible apk that is present I think D-8 probably has a new one so flashing D-6 then D-8 would overwrite it again. I'll see if I can pull those apk's and use rom kitchen to make a new one until he gets around to changing it. Who knows, it's possible he did it on purpose as i have seen people complain about it since ICS came out. Most non-multilingual users find it annoying. I actually do too. I prefer the old long press way! Thanks again.

nope, just checked. He only changed the framework-res.apk in the D-8 update. What i suggest you do is pull systemui.apk from the original base first and replace it with root explorer. If that fixes it then you can safely flash the new update rom kitchen just the one apk.

Got it. Will try. Thanks! How do you check what he changed btw? I've only done the basics in ROM kitchen.

Well tried to put systemUI.apk from zx2 base and didn't work. I guess I'll see if dev will respond or put it back in later. If not, I'll have to decide if the hassle is worth it or change to another ROM. Thanks everyone.

I have no idea what 1) or 2) are.
3) is possible but requires root.
4) Nope.. however GPS status and tool box will "boost" GPS lock speed.. and it doesn't require root!

1) You can't change the picture of a widget but you can change the picture of an app's icon. I'm using Nova launcher but Apex should be similar. Long press the icon and a popup will allow you to "edit" it and you can select the image you want that's in your projectglass.zip
2) Haven't used UCCW

[Q] Editing Notification Bar Without Flashing?

Hi, I just recently got my first smartphone which I absolutely love but the UI urks me a little. That being said I apologize if this is in the wrong section or if this has been asked before but I could not find my question asked anywhere. Perhaps my google-fu is weak.
Question: Is it possible to replace the battery icon in the notification bar with text that says the current battery percentage on a rooted phone without flashing the device to a ROM?
I have seen some applications that do this but I want to replace the current icon and display, not add to it.

congratulations on your first smartphone, and welcome to xda
there may be launchers available that will do this, but i doubt it - i use go-launcher which doesn't
but if you are unhappy with the ui already, then i would guess you will soon be unhappy with something else and that will be the time to start looking into rooting and flashing like the rest of us round here

I am not quite sure if this was an answer? I basically want to make the system show the current battery percentage in a percentage like the app on the left in pink instead of the default battery meter in right. I want to make the system display it differently rather than having an application display it. Does that make sense?
My question is (I know I need to root first) do I need to flash a rom and change things or can I do a simple edit?

(Q) How do I make android honest?

I don't know how to ask google this so I thought I'd ask here. How do I mod StockMod so that it will show 1x when it is supposed to instead of always showing 3g?
