[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.

ok cool stuff

Currently on AOKP, because... I dunno I wanted to see what r4ins was working with and it's a bit smoother than Paranoid. I have a blanket DPI of 180 with a market that fixes DPI incompatibility so no need to switch back yet.
However I do love Paranoid (great job gs2user) so I remember my settings.
Tablet UI (small) although to be honest the phone styled notification center is better
Status bar 185
Lockscreen 180
Default apps to 185
Calendar and email look the best in Tablet mode. I changed settings back to phone UI.

I thought I'd add my own configuration preferences to this thread. I love this ROM. I've tried going back to other ROMS here and there but everything just seems prehistoric to me with their setups. The fact that this ROM gives you the ability to use the phone like a tablet is awesome. The user interface is perfect for my particular needs / wants. Not to mention the ROM is quick and smooth. Here are some screenshots to illustrate what my setup looks like and what settings I used to get it. Enjoy.

[Q] Disable Ticker Animation (Notification Privacy)

I am talking about Paranoid Android's very useful tweak. The "Do Not Disturb" option in settings menu where it completely disables the ticker animation whenever there's a notification.
This is a great tweak for me because whenever a friend borrows my phone to browse the web or to send an sms, he/she sees the COMPLETE incoming text thru the ticker animation. This is really an annoying accidental invasion of my privacy.
"So why don't you just use paranoid android rom?"
Well, because that mod is the only reason i was able to stick to that rom for almost 2 weeks.
I am more than willing to create a custom rom that suits my exact preferences but i lack the time and skills to do it.
Okay so i've searched EVERYWHERE (trust me) but i can't find an individual mod that does exactly this.
Thanks for reading and I am very grateful if anyone answers. :good:

Does it only affect SMS/MMS? If so, the mod can probably be cleanly packaged into a modded mms.apk and the setting option/toggle moved from PA settings to mms settings. Can't say, never used it, but someone with time on their hand can probably track it in the PA git.

It affects all ticker animations that pop up on the status bar whenever there's a notification.
For example, when i turn the feature on and i use titanium backup to do a batch restore, the icon is still there but there will be no ticker animation.
It's quite redundant if you ask me.

Still no luck? I am searching everywhere, like you, but I can't find a mod for this. It is found in Cataclysm rom, but I can't understand why this is not asked for more. Every rom should have a preference to disable all notification tickers.

So nobody has helped you yet? Strange.
Decompile SystemUI with ApkTool (Import the framework, decompile)
Open res/values/bools
Modify the string <bool name="enable_ticker">true</bool> TO <bool name="enable_ticker">false</bool>
Recompile the app with apktool using the command: apktool b -c SystemUI.apk.
DONE

Script Writing

I would like to write a script to make a custom toggle in quick settings open up the power widget. Anyone willing to either help me learn about writing script or to tell me the script to enter to make this magick happen?
Thank you in advance...:beer:
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Hi,
It's not with a script that you can do that, but you have multiple solutions:
- Decompile/modifie/recompile the SystemUI.apk and Framework (at least), there is some guides but it's the harder thing (like this for example then edit the quick settings).
The easy way is to use:
- A custom rom that allows quick settings management (see dev section).
- Use an app like Power Toggles or Notification Toggle.
- Use Xposed framework with Xposed modules like Gravity Box.
It depends if you are rooted or not, if you want to flash a custom rom, etc...

I'm sorry, I probably should've mentioned this before hand. I'm currently running slimkat 2.3, which, I don't know if your familiar with. But it has "The Chamber of Secrets", which allows you to basically write a custom shortcut to edit any setting within the build prop. ( Now you should know I'm guessing at its full capabilities because I don't know how to use it and I'm asking for help)
I'm not new to flashing ROMs, kernels or apks, but I've never compiled my own ROM. And I don't really have the capability or need to do so. From what I understand, the chamber of secrets is pretty amazimg , I just want to know how to use it.

Thanks juba. I didn't want to clog up the thread with my ignorance. I would really like to learn though. I tried doing some research on my own last night on the Settings.java file. But not sure what in looking at.

Well.
The settings.java file lists all possible system settings.
For example...
Say I wanted to make a shortcut to turn my status bar clock a different color.
I'd search the file for something that looks like a match...
Like Ctrl+f > "clock"
Next...next...next...etc.
Oh, look. "statusbar_clock_color"
That sounds right.
Add to chamber.
Checkbox? No...that isn't a checkbox setting.
Values?
Here's where it gets tricky.
Check boxes and colors...simple.
Colors: input like it tells you to in the dialog.
-2 means default for us...so you could do red,#ff00aacc,-2
For example...to switch between those three values.
List preferences...
https://github.com/SlimRoms/packages_apps_Settings/blob/kk4.4/res/values/slim_arrays.xml
As you can see...the top bunch is for what looks like led timeout settings...
So if I wanted to change those...
I'd find the setting in settings.java...
Input desired values. Such as 0,2500
Which matches to always on and long.

Thank you. I'm going to be delving into this this weekend.

(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.

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.

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. ;_;

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. ;_;

I'm still more than happy with 4.4.4 so just going to stick with that for the foreseeable future. I see nothing in Lolipop to draw me away all the cool stuff you can do with Xposed.

Coming from 4.4.4, I completely agree. I sort of regret switching.

Nav bar?

Thank you for a legitimate answer with zero arrogance. Much appreciated.
I know all of my requests are system edits, was just curious if there were apps out that would do all or some. Already found an app for apm and nav bar edits.

Well, what did you find man. I mean that is what you started this thread for.

Rastapop is pretty good and hits most of those bases.

I bought my Nexus 5 from someone who had Lollipop installed on it.
I reverted back to 4.4.4 and don't regret it, it's not that hard
