[App] ☆ Energy Bar - pulsating Battery Indicator! ☆ [1M+ Downloads]
Greetings!
Many of you who have a Windows Mobile past like me, might have instantly recognized the thin colorful line(s) in the above image. And for the new Android generation, introducing Energy Bar - a pulsating Battery indicator!
Energy Bar puts a thin line on top of your Status Bar whose length corresponds to your device's current Battery level.
Got a full charge? The line will cover the whole width of your screen.
Battery depleting? So will the length of Energy Bar.
After several iterations (thank you for the feedback, early testers), the App is now feature packed:
Energy Bar can be configured from a width of 1 pixel to cover the entire status bar
Energy Bar puts almost 0% load on CPU, as it wakes up only to reflect any change in battery level
Energy Bar's origin can be configured as left/center/right
Energy Bar can hide on fullscreen content (apps, videos, images, games etc)
Energy Bar can be configured to change colors automatically depending on the live battery level
Energy Bar could have a mono color/multiple color segments/gradient
You can literally assign any color in the world for your favorite configuration
Energy Bar as a cool pulsating animation whenever a power source is plugged into your device
There is something about visual over numbers that keeps you and your device's battery level in sync with just a glance. You may find it intuitive/effective/stylish way to read the battery level, let me know what you think

UPDATE E: New version, EB_4.0_XDA_BETA is now available in Downloads section.
As promised, this version packs in new features (both internal and visual,)
#1 The visual elements of the App now look more uniform across various versions of Android.
#2 The Single Color and Multicolor Modes are now combined as one, and that gives you the ability to:
Make the Bar use a single color (even when the Battery is low)
You can set your own Battery Low Level and assign a color for it to indicate
Make multiple segments of the Bar with different colors to indicate each segment. Maximum is upto 6 AND yes, the segment limits are variables controlled by you.
There is a live preview which gives you an idea how segments are arranged and color-coded for the Bar.
#3 Replaced the Color Wheel with a older one, which is more accurate.
To do for this version (4.0):
#1 Pause animation on screen off

I completely rewrote the code (made a big structural change), I would consider this update as an essential major internal update. Also, it should now perform better during the charging animation.
But, just to not totally disappoint you guys, I have added the following few things that is visual:
#1 The center animation is now more symmetrical (two pulses.)
#2 Custom Colors!!
#3 Thickness is now controllable to the level of pixels (larger devices can make the Bar even more thicker now.)
And lastly, am not abandoning the project with this update, I have got all the list of feature requests made so far since the first release, will be adding one by one.
UPDATE A: Initial version released! Scroll down to get the Download link (check the attachments for screenshot!)
Features:-

Greetings!
Many of you who have a Windows Mobile past like me, might be very well familiar with the inspiration behind this application I created, temporarily called as Energy Bar. I saw a couple of Android versions as well, including the one which comes bundled with MIUI custom roms. So, here is my implementation of it (Video Below):
What it does?
Puts an Energy Bar at the top of the screen which indicates current battery level on any screen.
Plug-in any AC power source to start pulsating animation. The animation is detailed enough to let you know where was your battery level when you initially plugged in and what is it's current level during the whole process of charging.
A customizer interface to choose between three colors, Activate/Deactivate, auto start on boot.
The color chosen is always saved and used when the service is activated/deactivated, crashed and restarted, auto start on boot.
When customizer interface is closed by clicking "Close and run in background....", only the bar runs which takes around 3 to 4 MB static RAM.
The load on the CPU is 0% when the AC source is not plugged in. The service gets activated only when battery is reduced.
The Video:
NOTE: The video below is of the TEST version of the App, an updated video will be soon posted.
It's hard to showcase the features in screenshots (attached,) so I have uploaded a video of the app in action:

And at several more places, if you find it somewhere, let me know
WHAT'S NEW?
EB_6.3.5_BETA:
The App now relies on 'Notification Access' rather than the powerful & sensitive Accessibility Service, to be alive forever.
Upgrading from a previous version?
Click the activation switch, enable Notification Access even if you see the Bar already active.
On some devices, you may have to enable the App in 'Auto-start Apps' settings to survive a phone reboot.
Expect 0 mAh battery consumption.
EB_6.3.3_BETA:
#1 Added support for Android 8.0 Oreo.
#2 If you have faced "Permission denied" issue, this version should resolve it.
#3 On Android Oreo, in Status Bar mode, pulling down Notification bar wasn't possible, it's fixed now.
EB_6.2(.2)_BETA:
* The pulsating charging animation now remembers initial charge until power source is turned off.
* Lots of new Animations now available, including an option to disable it.
* Status Bar mode's background is now configurable as transparent or opaque.
* The UI now has clues on how to delete segments.
* Instructions to keep EB alive on Huawei/Lenovo added.
EB_6.1.5_BETA:
HOTFIX for crashes on some Android 6.0 devices
EB_6.1.4_BETA is a critical maintenance update featuring:
* The App now officially supports Android 7.0
* The 'Screen overlay detected...' issue on Marshmallow is finally taken care of, phew!
* Devices on which App crashes on launch is fixed (E.g., Moto X Pure)
* 'Merge Segments' color configuration now survives a reboot of the device.
* Thickness limit increased to 30
Thank you everybody for the amazing response, more updates will follow, if you love the App, don't forget to share it. Cheers!
EB_6.1.3_BETA:
* Attempts to resolve bugs faced by some devices.
Thank you everybody for sending in reports!
EB_6.1_BETA:
* Auto-hide is now not limited to just fullscreen videos, games, images. It will work on any fullscreen content which doesn't have a Status Bar.
* Support for Android 6.0.
* Flashy Ad replaced with native static one.
* UI glitches are now fixed completely.
* Lot of internal optimization for continued harmony between your device and Energy Bar
Discussion of the Release Version of the App starts from Post #20http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49385457&postcount=20.
Some screenshots by the XDA community, I don't know if the Bar is complementing their beautiful screen set-up or the set-up is complementing the Bar

The change has already been made, one of the devices in the video is not a rooted phone.
It would be great if you could set different colours for every say 10% increment so green for 100 to 90 blue for 90 to 80 etcetera, also being able to change the frequency of the animations from 1% to 2% or 5% or whatever would also be quite cool.

Every 10% might be messy, but will include the feature in a limited way, say every 25% may be.
Is it possible to change the bar height? That's a very needed feature if not.

I found the particular height I used to be an ideal one, but Indeed adding more customization option won't do any harm. Currently working on something that will significantly enhance the functionality of the bar, will showcase it soon.

Sure, you would be able to experiment with the height!
Off the top of my head, possibility to set a background color can be interesting too. That way if you have a transparent status bar and let's say a blue battery bar on a blue background then you can still see it.
That's all I can think of at the moment.

I'm not sure you would need a rooted phone for that. Simply have the progress color diminish while keeping a "full" color bar behind it/right to it. Two colors to set in this case.

Oh got ya! I thought you were talking about status bar background, which is not possible to change, atleast not till 4.3
My suggestions:
It would be nice to have the option to set the bars position to multiple locations (below the status bar, above or below the nav bar, or even left and right of the entire screen).
The centered mirrored option would be nice as well, as people who use roundr will have the bar cropped at the edge (happens to me with TEAM Battery bar and it's the reason I have it disabled now).
Also having a bar height option and being able to lower the opacity of the bar in case the user wants to have it overlap the clock and all the icons on the status bar.

Clockr v1.5.1 is now available from the Android Market.
NOW UPDATED TO VERSION 1.5.1!!

What is Clockr?
Clockr is a simple home-screen widget that displays the current time in a readable text format.
While it is simple in design, it is packed full of customisation options to make it look just the way you want it to.
Why did I make Clockr?
I have always been a fan of minimalism. I like to have a clean home-screen. Since there was no other widgets available that presented the current time in a way that I wanted it, I decided to make my own widget.
Will it work on my device?
At the moment, Clockr is supported on all current devices running 2.1+. Soon I will have support for earlier versions of Android, but I haven't been able to test this yet. It was designed with a 480x800 screen in mind, but this isn't to say it wont work on other sizes (again, it is something I haven't tested).
Where can I get Clockr?
Clockr is again available as a free download from the Android Market. You can find it by searching for "clockr".
QR code, its click-able if you are on your phone (thanks to Wallla and excedio for helping me out):
I hope you enjoy my widget!
Thanks
- xaffron (One More Clock) for his help with services and his nifty notification trick.
- zappatilias (BattStatt) for the initial inspiration and for the Color picker suggestion!
- ralfoide (24 Clock) learnt a lot by studying his code.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How do I use this widget? Every time I click the icon it just brings up a stupid information screen.
A: Scroll down to the next post, I have provided a simple guide to installing Clockr/Clockr Evolution on your Home screen.
Q: Why does a clock need permission to read phone state?
A: Apparently it doesn't, this has been removed in the latest versions available on the Android Market. If you are being asked for this permission by my app, you are using an older version, please update. - Thanks zappatilias
Q: Some other clocks don't use a service, why does yours?
A: Clockr will only use a service if you enable "Force Update". If you are having problems with the clock going out of sync, you might need to enable "Force Update" as most people suggest this is the best method. In fact I have tested Clockr against other similar clocks using Watchdog real-time profiling and I have found Clockr (With Force Update enable) to be one of the most efficient of all of them in regard to actual CPU usage. I encourage you to test this yourself, you will be surprised at how little this app uses.
Q: Why does it put an item in my notification bar if I select "Force Update"?
A: Since Android 2.0, there have been changes to how services are handled. To keep a service from not being killed by the Android OS, you need to set it to run in the foreground. Since a clock widget needs to be constantly updating itself every new minute that passes, we don't want the OS to kill it off at the wrong time. Now, by setting itself in the foreground, it doesn't mean it's actually working any harder, it just means that when the OS decides to kill off services, it will leave it alone.
In the old days (pre-2.0), it was possible to start a service and flag it as "foreground" and that was it. To do the same thing now, Android requires that a notification is shown to the user at all times. I've hidden it as much as possible (thanks to xaffron for his suggestions), but if you don't like the idea of a notification sitting there, you can switch "Force Update" off.
Q: When will you add this feature...
A: At the moment, I am working on including many features. If you have any suggestions, feel free to post them in this thread but I can only work on so many things at once, I am only human!
Q: Why don't you respond to my complaint in the market.
A: While I do read every comment on the market, if you have a bug/issue, it is best to write about it here or even email me via the email address on the Clockr Market page (which is: [email protected]). Please try to provide as much information as possible, I'm not psychic. If you can include what phone you have, which rom (official/custom) you are using, how did the bug occur, what were you doing, etc... it will help me greatly to find the problem.
Q: Will you be adding support for App2SD
A: No. Please stop asking, you're making yourself look silly. App2SD does not and never will work for widgets.

How to install the Clockr Widget on your homescreen
NOTE: This isn't the only way to add widgets to your Home screen, but it is one way that is easy to explain.
FIRST STEP
You need to start from your Home screen. This is what a basic Home screen looks like:
It has widgets and other things that you can move around.
You need to make sure that you have room for Clockr to be installed (It does take up a whole row of space).
SECOND STEP
Press the "Menu" button on your phone so that this pops up:
Now you need to select the "Add" option (the one I have highlighted).
THIRD STEP
Now this dialog box will pop up:
Select the option to add "Widgets" (highlighted in the image).
FOURTH STEP
Now a list of available widgets will appear:
Select the Clockr widget that you wish to install.
FIFTH STEP
If you followed these simple steps, Clockr will now be added to your Home screen:
If you tap on the widget, you can then change any of the custom options to make it look how you want it to look.
Hope this has helped you, if you are still having trouble, let me know!

Zehro and Hollywooder thanks for all your efforts!!
looks like an awesome app, just now added to my screen its much better than tjam in my opinion!
Looks cool, I'll try it out later.
Oh, how about localised versions? One thing that always bugged me about Tajm is that it is only English and am/pm, I'd very much love a widget like that that reads e.g. "ZwölfSiebenundZwanzig"

I hope to be able to add this soon.
I'm still very new to Android Development, just learning my way around. At the moment, I am working to provide a configuration screen that allows you to change font size, font color and also add a background image (similar launcherpro dock). After this, I think localisation will be my next goal.
Man, I was totally lurk-stocking the Nexus boards waitin for this. Great work man, thank you!
Freakin' awesome! I use it on my EVO and it looks nasty! I love it!
You know what would go good w/ this? "Dater" "tuesdayNOVEMBERtwenty-fifth"

it would be cool if it were possible to install all three mods as separate widgets rather than having to replace one after the other when trying to switch between mods
Thanks for the comments everyone! I'm glad people are liking it, hopefully you will like it even more once I improve it!
The reason it updates a bit slowly is because I didn't want it to be a big drain on battery life. I can always change it so it updates more frequently, but for my first android app release, I didn't want people screaming at me because my app is killing their device. =P
Tonight I have been trying to workout how to get this configuration page to work properly. As soon as that clicks in place, you'll be able to switch font colors and all the other things easily.
I do plan to make other widgets in a similar style (I like the idea of dater, but the name... sounds a bit like a dating service! LOL). Right now, I'm just trying to focus on getting this configuration screen working and then it will be easy for me to apply my application to other ideas.
For now, I gotta sleep. Its after 2am here and I have to work tomorrow! >.<

Excellent program right out of the box right now! Makes my screen look pretty sexy.. Looking forward to updates and future widgets!
Hi there. I can see, what you have made awesome thing. And i came with one question, can you make multilingual? Or you can post some files, where words of hours are saved, so i can manually translate them to my language. Lithuania.
Sweet job!
Great clock, this one is the one i've been looking for!!!
Just waiting for the tans background so i can have White on black background!
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.

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.

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?

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
Hello Everyone,

Is it ready or is it missing something?

For the Custom Volume maybe you can put the volume percent somewhere in the notification. I like the idea though! Please send me the APK for testing, as I am willing to test this app. Thanks for your hard work!

First impression: Could the floating icon be transparent
Thanks, I install it. It works, with floating Green non transparent icon over the screen. It could be better if the icon transparent like the Apple AssistiveTouch because the current could hide some text or pics.
Second: two white dots on the top status bar force me to customize the VolumeChopcut function which I could done on one item only, the second still always appear in the notification center.
I just uploaded the new version 1.02, it will be available soon.

I'm running Lollipop, the Slim alpha V0.8 version 0.7. In my KF, after installed, I could not see the top menu or the three dots menu icon. Only 3 line with 3 option (on/off) : Basic, Extend and Floating widget. So a little choices for me.. On top left of status bar, there are two unclickable white dots. Draw down the left notification panel, two Volume ChopCUT show " Click Me to Customize Media Volume". Click on it, go to the white main window with 3 option line. I'm not sure which version of your soft on my KF but this is the latest on Playstore.
Hope can help. Thanks

lifegap Can you post a screenshot?, So when you clicked the Basic notification Click Me to Customize Media Volume you got nothing? no Slide bar volume?
Did the extended notification have 3 buttons? did they work?
Can you check in android settings-->application-->Volume ChopCUT for the current version installed?
I will install Slim alpha v0.8 on my kindle to test the functionality, so far i have mainly done test in Kitkat.

A dashboard that displays current date, time, battery status and level, list of running apps (only rooted!) and list of favorite apps (customizable). It comes with 3 panels: one as described, one for running app list and one for favs. Almost everything is clickable including date, battery, time and icons of running/fav apps.
Originally made for Note Edge but works on other Samsung devices including Note8 and S9.
You need to enable the panel before it appears, see this tutorial.

Changelog:
Updated 10 May 2018 (v0.83):
bug: fixed crash on Android 8 when tapping tasks button
bug: set explicit light color for date/time (some devices would use black and black on black is hard to see)
Updated 2 May 2018 (v0.82):
bug: fixed possible crashes on Android 8
Updated 11 April 2018 (v0.8):
automatic refreshing of task list on the main panel when panel is being shown (can be disabled in prefs)
bug: fixed multiple issues with task list (not refreshing, missing apps when hide-favs pref if set)
minor: "tasks" buttons now call up Samsung's task switcher instead of task manager
minor: new icon
Updated 10 April 2018 (v0.75):
favorites can now be reordered by dragging
added Phone button to main panel (to make up for missing Phone app from favs), can be hidden in prefs
minor: added battery level text to landscape (some people requested it)
minor: added indication to tasks panel if task list is unreadable
minor: hiding Clock/Calendar/Phone apps from task list, if pref "hide favorites from running tasks" is set
Updated 8 April 2018 (v0.7):
Samsung Slook SDK was updated to 1.4.0 which hopefully fixes compatibility issues with recent phones
bug: fixed dispaying non-bitmap app icons (becoming more and more common) - e.g. IMDb
bug: tasks are now started wtih FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP flags; previously they didn't and this caused new instance to be started even for running tasks (sometimes causing data loss)
minor: tapping on current date now brings up Clock app (with Alarms, Timer, etc.) instead of date/time settings, unless the former is missing
minor: by default, hidetasks preference is false unless the app was made system
minor: added indication if EdgeBoard was made a system app
minor: added link to this XDA thread
Updated 13 May 2015 (v0.6):
fixed landscape not working for all 3 panels
added options to hide tasks or favs from the main panel to give more room to another list
increased spacing between items somewhat
fixed running task list being empty on the main panel
Task list: Android has removed access to running tasks for regular apps since Lollipop (5). However, if your device is rooted then you can make EdgeBoard a system app and this will remove this limitation. How to do that is described in the app's preferences screen. Unless you do that, refresh button won't work and task list will be always empty.
Feature suggestions:
- see why folders don't work
- show status icons like on the statusbar (signal, etc.)
- (automatically refresh task list) - done in 0.8
- (see why Dialer/Phone app isn't available in fav list) - Phone is actually part of Contacts, it's not a separate app with a separate launcher - added button in 0.75
- (drag-reorder favorite items) - done in 0.75
- (horizontal list scrolling in landscape) - wontfix - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76190042&postcount=32
Fantastic panel.
How much time beetwen a refresh and another for the running apps?

This is one of/the only big problem of this panel. I am yet to set up some service or alerter to automatically refresh it. As of now the panel doesn't refresh it at all but you can do that manually by expanding the task list of the panel (click on the "stack" icon above the list) and hitting on the refresh button there.
The panel was just approved on Samsung GALAXY Apps, I will keep it updated there so I recommend you reinstall it from the store and then update it from time to time waiting until I figure how to properly handle the running task list. Other than this the panel is finished.
OK, I noticed another thing, If I swap between two apps calling them from EdgeBoard Preferred panel, they swap slowly than using the normal preferred panel.
I hope I'm clear.
It's like every time I click on icon app on EdgeBoard panel, a new instance is created instead of calling that present in memory.
Nice. Very useful app.
Icons seem a bit close together vertically. Any way to get some more space between them, as I keep hitting the wrong one. Or alternatively make them a bit smaller?
On road map, any plans for folders or drag and drop to reorder icons?
Hey guys, just a quick note. I've got some valuable feedback about this (here and elsewhere), I'm aware of bugs around the task list in latest Galaxy Apps version and I'll be fixing them soon.
@arbit12 I'll add a setting to tweak the look of the main panel including the distance between the icons (I've crammed them together so 5 icons fit but that's probably not everyone's choice).
Updated 13 May 2015 (v0.6):
fixed landscape not working for all 3 panels

Download updated APK from the first post. Samsung Store is being slow so it'll be some time before they roll out the new version.
Great app. Ty for taking the time to do this i appreciate it very much
Re-arrange
Thanks for a great edge panel! Nice work! The only thing i miss is the possibility to re-arrange the icons/programs. I noticed that it might be a future function and I keep my fingers crossed that you have the energy to fix it. But again, thank you!
Hi. Sorry I am a bit of o noob. This is an app only for Note Edge? I've installed it on my Note 4 and nothing happened. I enter in App put some preferences, but what from there? Thank you and excuse me if I am annoyng.

Good app but need some more work
Great upp idea but the icons looks very small and when i touch one of them some time ti goes to another app
please in next update make icons a bigger in size and wider panel
edgeboard another major problem
The app can't pay pass the lock screen and open the app directly you have to unlock the screen manually each time.
can you plz fix it .
Is this still in development?
fundaprob,I wanted to know if you were ccontinuing development on this great project.
I would love to see the issues you outlined addressed and solved.
If you aren't planning on updating it, then is the source code anywhere if one might want to pick it up?
Sorry if these are obvious and dumb, but I really love this panel and I want to have a project to focus my attention on.
Thanks,

HEy, If I have my phone in landscape mode, I can't see my battery percentage...? Please can you fix it?
Hey guys, I'm back.
Nice to see some people are still using my panel. Nobody happened to make an improved version in this entire time?

The panel width is fixed by Samsung, I can't change it. So I can't make icons bigger without cropping them (they're square). That's as much space as I could use.

This is impossible due to security. If you put file manager on the fav list and somebody gets your locked phone they can pretty much mess it up with that file manager without having to unlock. So Android won't let you do anything except using the camera in a limited way.

It's impossible due to limited screen space. There's the iconic indicator with ~25% step so you can generally get an idea of how drained your battery is.

Yes, yes and probably yes. I'm planning to finish the project by fixing those bugs soon. I'll probably put up the source code as well.
This was a draft project I did in maybe 2 days right after getting hold of my new Edge and I'm surprised nobody made a better version yet (or did someone?), it's simple and essential to Edge if you have a few days on your hands.
EdgeBoard is my new home screen
This app is nice! My home screen now has 3 icons. The ones I use all the time are on EdgeBoard. I'm running Marshmallow on the S6 edge+. The Apps Edge panel has two columns of full size icons. I don't mind the small icons on EdgeBoard. They look better. I have run into a minor issue:
When I edit the EdgeBoard panel settings, should I be able to add apps directly to it? Or can I only show apps on that panel by editing the Favorites panel and enabling "show favs on EdgeBoard"?
Changing the apps (favs) on the EdgeBoard panel is tricky. I have to enable the EdgeBoard Favorites panel, edit it, and then use it to make the changes show up. Then I can disable the Favorites panel and just use the EdgeBoard panel.
I am creating this R&D thread for a project I've been working on for most of this year.
The project named "oZoP" is an All-in-One mods/themes/tweaks for the phone.
The plan for the project is to make it a universally compatible for ALL stock based rom (AOSP is not and never will be supported or compatible)
I will probably release oZoP ConTroL as a stand alone zip mod that will do most of the work and include most or the options.
Eventually I will release the full Aroma oZoP (One Zip One Place) that will include a full rom with all bloat files (all optional of course), along with various other tools needed to build you phones setup the way you like it.
The reason for this thread is to receive valuable and needed user feedback, recommendations and requests.
The feedback will be used to build "OUR" project into a bug free, totally stable experience that will have something for everyone!!
We will get into more detail about what info is needed and how we can get it all put together.
I will add more details as I update this thread. There are A LOT of mods and a lot of info so this will take time.
If you are really that interested and just need to know more, you can always take a glance at some of my other projects,
Most of these projects are simply just sections of oZoP that have been pulled out as a stand alone mod.
Here are a few samples of the mods during the build phase (some features may or may not appear the same or make it to the initial public release)

As you can see from what I have in the previews above There are a lot of options and configurations possibility and that's only about 1/5th of what is actually available at this point today.
With all those options come lots of possible conflicts with the various devices and variants that are planned to be on the list of compatible devices.
That brings me to the reason for this thread... I have the H918 Tmobile and may or may not need several users with other devices to be the support section to check compatibility!
To be clear, I have been building this project since March and have recently finished running clean install testing for the past 10 days to ensure all the defaults are set properly and that there are zero bugs that I can detect with my setup.
Again, just because everything works as it is intended for me with my model phone, carrier variant and app and setting setup, doesn't mean it will be the same for everyone.
This thread will hopefully eliminate any possibilities of this not working for everyone and ensures a wonderful experience
You may or may not have seen the following projects. They are in fact sections of oZoP pulled out as stand alone mods.
They have been sort of "silent" compatibility tests that have passed with flying colors. There has been no reports of things not working.
oZoP Modz - Full-screen Caller ID
oZoP MoDz - System Animations
BOOT/SHUTDOWN ANIMATION CHANGER
The next test is being announce as such and is starting taking place right here right now.
This has been tested privately for the last few days and the confirmed Roms and devices include Weta (all US carriers), NATF and one I can't remember right now
DEVICE REQUIREMENTS:
1. Rooted
2. Stock based deodex rom
oZoP MoDz Notifications and more
download Weta here
download for NATF rom
Included:
*volume slider sound toggle*
*volume panel timeout*
*remove ongoing notification for Powersave mode*
*quicksetting airplane toggle warning*
*quicksetting sync toggle warning*
*hide popup for incompatible charging slow mode*
*set trigger for low battery warning*
*set trigger for Critical low battery warning*
*home button pressed bg color*
*Google home button animation*
*colors for Google animation dots*
Report bug properly to get my support
Of course there are many way to properly report bugs and ALL of these ways have one thing in common, THEY ALL REQUIRE VERY DETAILED NOTES of the issue!
I'm moy goimg to go deep into how detailed you could get because lets face it, most people that report improperly are the ones who don't read and probably are going to read this! HaHaHa...
To get support from me I only ask for some simple things
1. What device, and rom you are running
2. What is the issue (no boot, fc everywhere, fc only certain app etc...)
3. Which option did you select
4. Did you get the install log
5. Did you use the restore.zip option to get back running
6. Do other choices share the same effect
That looks like a lot, but it really is the minimum amout of info need to troubleshoot!
Provide me that and I'll do my best to fix things and make this fun for everyone.
If you post things like
"Doesn't work", "bootloop" or anyone other similar post that have no value and help development is no way, actually these kinds of post only put development behind amd slow progress die the fact that anyone who cam help has to waste their time reading it!
If these kind of post ever come up, its best to ignore the lazy person and not clog the thread with flaming replies as that too slows development!

Just curious I could have missed it but will the ability to turn off the annoying battery full notification be included in the mods? And any chance the ROM could include WETA like abilities to modify what is on the second screen (ie: 3min clock)?
Thanks for sharing all this by the way. Exciting times for our V20!
I noticed today that if I do a bulk execute on the second screen mods work on weta. But if I try to just modify them under ui mods individual it causes the system ui to crash. I'm on Verizon weta 5.1 #2

For the clock I have mod native built with control of many thing which do include layout position. I also have native build battery controls including the option to switch between stock modded or 3 minit batteries.
I have stock battery position left/right, but so far it doesn't work right for second screen so the battery will be in the stock position on the right for now.
The reason for this thread is for suggestion, recommendations.
That being said, i currently do not have a switch for the full battery notification.... Currently... I will be adding that and you can expect to see it in the official release!
Thank you

For the 3 replies about having compatibility issues, I want to say this does not come to a surprise and I can assure you that this will not be the case with the official release.
I suspect the reason for this fc issue is because WETA is a very customized rom and some of the mods are probably pushing files the the sysui which I modded and the old files are conflicting because they do not include the referances to the edits I made for the animated home button etc.
This will not be an issue when all the oZoP files are in place.
So i also want to clear this up...
Once the official oZoP is ready and gets installed on to your rom, it will override ALL current mods of your rom. The mod includes most core system files that devs mod.
Don't worry though, i am pretty sure that ANY mods you currently have will be available with oZoP.
If we find out that there is a mod which I haven't included, just let me know and i will definitely do what i can to add the feature.
Sorry for the inconvenience. I will make things more clear for the future as well as add a restore failsafe to the zips.

Thank you sir and the previews don't give any justice to what is really going on!! This will definitely keep you busy for a while. There are a lot of variations of the mods amf theme options!
Thank you all for the replys and feedback.
Remember, this is the time and place to make requests for things you would like to see built in to a stock based rom!
Cant wait for your rom. It looks sick!

I think it would be cool to have a working color coded battery bar for the second screen especially for the AOD part as it's easier to read than a small white battery icon and even the 3minit battery is still pretty tiny when trying to see it at a glance. Not sure if it is do-able
2nd screen is awesome on this phone just wish there was more ways to customize it. Be nice to force it to max brightness as well as being able to increase the time it displays notifications like text messages and stuff.

Again, thank you and this is what this thread is about, getting things we all want in one mod!
So for battery bar in SS, i already have the options for top/bottom placement, regular (left to right) or centered style, charging animation on/off, size and colorpicker for any color. I do not have it color coded, I assume you mean by percentage of battery remaining?
I can definitely look at adding to my code, but that may come in future updates...
As for the other battery options, stock battery is only white if you choose to leave it that way. The battery icon has color optiins for background, foreground and in-battery precentage colors. The icon has several styles including hide, circle and dotted cirlces. 3minit is 3minit, no need to go into that one.
As you can see, there are currently options that could hopefully satisfy your battery needs.
I totally aggree about needing more controls for SS options like brightness and screen notification timeouts.
@Zacharee1 and I have been looking deeper to add options for pulse and text color controls, but again this one may have to be for future updates as well...
Thank you for your interest and participation here.
Thanks for taking time to clear up as to why we're having issues. Your mods are awesome. And I commend you for putting the time in to do this for this phone. ?? ?? Im sure everyone in this forum with this phone is extremely grateful to you for doing this, as we don't have many choices for roms and such for a phone that is a year old. It amazes me, my old old HTC desire and galaxy s4 are still getting roms released yet this phone is all but abandoned. Lol anyway thank you immensely and I look forward to the finished product. (I will also beta test any releases you push if needed)

Thank you for the patience and understanding of working through things!
I don't plan on getting a mew phone for at least another yr so you guys are should get ready for a fun ride on oZoP!
@KUSOsan just finished up the Full battery switch and love your suggestions so keep em coming. There can't be that many left.. Haha that mod make puts the total keys used for included mods at 407! Thats 407 different settings some pf which include 50+ choices!
Do the math, its basically unlimited possibilities!

I need to write them down because I can never think of stuff on the spot but it's always whenever the problem arises.
Most of my suggestions pretty much center around the 2nd screen as there is just a disappointing lack of customization for it considering that is the biggest defining feature about the V20.
I was hoping LG would add more stuff to it after they talked big about focusing on the 'V' series as their main contender with the G series taking a backseat compared to it but with the V30 coming out sans a 2nd screen I have a bad feeling that if anything they are going to abandon any 2nd screen updates completely or just streamline it (i.e. neuter it with less features but make it look prettier) for the Oreo update if this phone ever gets it.
I also have a bad feeling that Oreo is going to be a long ways out for this phone so your timing with the mods and ROM are perfect ?
I'm extremely interested in this ozop rom. Thanks for puting all you time and effort into this. Will this work for the sprint ls997 model? If so which rom will we need to be running?

I remember a certain game company used that slogan for their Jaguar console. :silly:
Jokes aside thanks for answering my questions earlier. Looking forward to the ROM when it comes out.
