[DISCUSSION] Clean Rom Features - General Topics

What features you would find useful that you'd also like to see in a ROM? Think more on the clean side so no features like AdBlock, App animations, toast animations, etc.etc.etc.. Who knows? Maybe a ROM like this may come out in the next month...

The main things for me are CyanogenMod's PrivacyGuard and the brigness/double tap to sleep status bar features. All the other things are just icings on the cake.

[ROM] [KANG] CM10 with Tablet UI

The philosophy of this ROM is to keep it as close as possible to pure CM10 whilst providing a tablet interface, because the Nexus 7 is a tablet, not a phone.
The ROM features the following:
Built daily from CyanogenMod 10 source.
Tablet UI independent of DPI.
Tablet UI can be toggled.
Custom DPI settings.
Settings menu reflects Tablet or Phablet modes.
Modified Trebuchet launcher for Tablet UI layout on the Nexus 7.
Expand desktop power menu option (now exported to CM10).
Clear all recent apps button.
Extra spaces in launcher dock for Phablet UI.
Goomanager hooks for notifications and incremental updates.
I will consider feature suggestions, but will only implement those which I feel enhance the tablet experience.
Download the ROM from here: http://goo.im/devs/zigackly/roms/grouper/tablet_ui
To install, wipe the caches if coming from CM10, do a factory reset if coming from another ROM, flash with the latest JB gapps from goo.im, and enjoy.
Credits:
CyanogenMod community for the code base and some cherry-picks.
Barmullio for the initial Tablet UI mod and the idea for how to mod Trebuchet.
D4rKn3sSyS and Paranoid Android for the ideas behind expand desktop and clear all recents mods.
sgt7 - for the content observer code I used in enabling tablet-ui toggling without a reboot.
JellyBeer ROM for Custom DPI changes and some settings utils.
This ROM is built from pure CM10 source, with just the tablet UI modifications detailed above. However if you want to patch an existing installation of CM10, you can use the patches from here:
http://goo.im/devs/zigackly/patches/grouper/tablet_ui
The latest patch should always work with the latest nightly build. Let me know if it does not, and I will release another patch.
Source code can be found here, in the tablet-build branches, unless there is a tablet-patch branch, in which case I use that for the patches:
https://github.com/zigackly
There are no known issues at present with this ROM which are not also present in CM10, however feel free to report bugs or ask for help and I'll do what I can.
When you finally implement a toggle can you have separate toggles for the status bar and the apps. I like to use the tablet status bar with the stock app layouts. The phablet apps are great. Its just the status bar that takes up too much room and is hard to reach the soft keys in the middle that sucks. The tablet combined bar solves both of those by having the soft keys on the side and not taking up as much vertical real estate. I used to use paranoid android but I am not a fan of the direction its been going in lately. They are starting to branch further away from cm by replacing the toggles with aokp phone style toggles but in the tablet UI. Even aokp uses the stock style toggles in the tab ui.

I know exactly what you mean. I think there comes a point in the lifecycle of many ROMs when the amount of customisation begins to detract from the user experience rather than add to it, and that's why I want to be careful to stick as closely to the standard CM10 experience as possible, because in many ways I admire their restraint in trying to keep it simple and standard across many devices.
I'm hoping the few features I have included here enhance the tablet experience without breaking that design simplicity, and if I found myself adding feature after feature, I'm sure I would eventually reach the point where I just didn't like the ROM any more.
I do love the basic premise with Paranoid Android of being able to adjust many aspects of the interface individually, but I also don't want to re-invent the wheel and make another PA. I like your idea of being able to separate the combined navbar/sysbar from the application interface though, and that's certainly something I can see myself looking into at some point down the line.
How soon I introduce those kind of features will be a combination of what time I can spend on it and how much I can learn along the way. It's not a big secret that I'm very new to Android development, even though I've been developing software at home or at work for over 25 years.
I think what you're suggesting would be valuable and interesting to play with though, so it's definitely going on the list
Another thing I'd like to work on is to have the ability to control where launchers put their application docks. I like the way in the stock ROM that the dock moves to the side when you go into landscape mode, as it leaves a consistent amount of real estate in the home screen. Most tablet UIs, including mine, break that, so if I can make it a user choice how those bars behave, then that would also be a useful mod for me.
Getting Trebuchet to retain the dock in tablet mode would be a start!

Another thing I'd like to work on is to have the ability to choose where third party launchers put their application docks. I like the way in the stock ROM that the dock moves to the side when you go into landscape mode, as it leaves a consistent amount of real estate in the home screen. Most tablet UIs, including mine, break that, so if I can make it a user choice how those bars behave, then that would also be a useful mod for me.

Thanks that would be great. Trebuchet and phablet mode are essentially the tablet ui with the dock. In landscape it looks almost identical. I don't think theres really any reason to try to force the tab UI with the dock.

If it's something the user can choose rather than have forced on them, then it's worthwhile. Personally I don't like the notification shade in phablet mode, but I do use the dock, so I end up using Nova Launcher instead of Trebuchet with Tablet mode, but with Nova the dock is either at the bottom or on the side, and you don't get that stock hybrid approach.
If I find a way to keep the dock in tablet mode though, I would want it to be a user choice whether it appears and how it behaves. We all want things to work differently, so it's nice if they are configurable.

Yeah. What I was saying is the stock phablet trebuchet layout is fine. Its the phablet status bar that is bad. Changing that is part of systemui not trebuchet. What I was suggesting essentially looks like this.

Looks nice, that's what I want too. Now I just have to do the work
Great Rom. One thing I saw in the sgt7 rom was the recent apps viewer had larger screenshots. This ended up being a much nicer experience for me on the n7 than the small thumbnails that most other roms have. I don't know how difficult that is to implement or if people even want it so it's entirely up to you. Just thought I would ask since it seems like an excellent tablet tweak to me. Here is a screenshot of it on the sgt7 rom:

Thanks for the feedback.
I have actually already implemented this feature in my codebase for my CM10 kang for the Moto Xoom, so if people want it, I would just have to pull in the commits for the next build. It didn't pass code review for CM10 because they felt that fewer apps were visible in the recents menu per page, but personally I like the bigger thumbnails more than having lots visible.
I guess I could try it out and if people don't like it, I can tweak it. Anyone else have any thoughts on it? It could go into tomorrow's build.

I'd prefer being able to see more apps so I'd say no.

I'd also prefer to keep the smaller thumbnails, personally, as I use the tablet in landscape orientation a lot (and I'd guess the number of recent apps displayed in landscape would be very few). Would there be any chance of making it a toggle? Or even allowing users to just specify the size of the thumbs themselves?
Thanks for providing the ROM and the patches, though -- I don't get why Google ever thought losing screen realestate on a 7" tab was a good idea, especially after they'd spent some time developing an excellent interface just for tablets ...
---------- Post added at 06:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 AM ----------
Also, a quick bug report on the latest ROM and patch (15th October) -- with "percentage" as the battery style, the percent charge is now incorrectly justified when the notifications/settings panel is displayed -- it's not next to the battery icon as it should be (and used to be) but is now over by the settings icon. (I don't know if this is a bug with your patches, though, or with the CM code itself ...)
Have you thought about submitting the expanded desktop power menu patch to CM? It makes a huge difference on a 7" screen ...

I've just taken a look on the Motorola Xoom which is in tablet mode naturally without any code changes, and that issue you describe with the battery percentage is the same on the Xoom as well, therefore it is an issue with the CM10 code base itself, not my changes.
The expanded desktop changes are in review right now on CM's Gerrit site. Not sure what the outcome will be, but my gut feeling is that it probably won't be merged. I don't take credit for that, by the way, I kanged it from other ROMs.
Many of my changes are kanged. No point re-inventing the wheel.
Giving this a shot. Will report back.
Been running it for the last hour or so w francos kernel and all is good. I really wish we had the option of changing the navigation bar height though. Overall, pretty solid.
Woo! *subscribed to thread*
One feature request (I have it on my S2), is a "kill all" button for the recent apps list. Saves having to "swipe" each and every recent app.
I was thinking about both those features (reduced nav bar height and kill all recents).
I will add them to my ever-growing list of things I might want to work on. No promises though
10/15 flashed great over official CM10 10/15. I love the tablet ui I think I'll stick with this.
Thanks!

XPosed & Modules: "Feature Enhancements" good enough to return to stock rom...?

XPosed & Modules: "Feature Enhancements" good enough to return to stock rom...?
(if this thread is missplaced please apologize and move it - I think this could take some space and I didnt want to clutter the xposed thread with it)
Henooy guys,
I'm using a Galaxy Note N7000 and since the day I had my first custom rom on my phone (think it was aokp-based) I never wanted to go back to stock.
But now with XPosed Framework and all those modules aiming at replacing all the cool custom-aosp rom tweaks, has game changed?
On Samsung devices for example, you miss out quite a lot of nice features (while gaining others even cooler obv) by using aosp-based roms like no working TV-Out, no multiwindow, no one-hand mode, etc.
So I was wondering if I could get the same experience / features as with one of the "all in one roms" (I'm using rootbox 4.2 atm which has like 100s of customization options) with a stock samsung rom by tweaking things with xposed modules?
Here are a few points that interest me especially:
How about performance hits with heavy xposed customization vs "built-in" customizations of aosp based roms?
How good are the UI customizations like setting color and transparency of status bar and icons etc?
How about Halo / Apps in Floating windows? (yea there is the module, but how good or bad is it compared to "real" halo? or does it work just like it?)
Is there a module to use CM themes? (or is there some other easy way nowadays to "copy" a cm theme to the system framework? I have BlackedOut theme with everything black n white including certain apps, and would really hate to miss out on that)
---
Well it mainly boils down to: How well do the xposed modules implement all those tweaks that the custom roms offer out of the box? And how does performance compare?
I did so much tweaking to my system, and I flashed soooo often already lol, so I'd rather hear some opinions before changing everything again. =)
I'm sure I'm not the first one asking himself this question...?

No youre not
Well, i can tell you this, i also have a N7000 and have already flashed: SweetRom, VengeanceNote, Stunner2 (great!!) and paranoid3....
The problem is i really like the stock features...but hate the "greenish" colour and the damn statusbar......so... i did two things...
1- Installed the AMAZING aroma themes collection by kmokhtar79 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2480358&highlight=aroma)
2- Installed xposed framework and started twiking little things...like disabling clear defaults dialog ...or the battery low alert, the increasing ringtone, the storage warning....and the samsung keyboard delay...
So far...its awesome...and because it work on the things that "are already there" instead of bringing NEW stuff....well there should be no battery drain whatsoever...
Or at least in the case of THOSE modules.... thing my differ from module to module...but if i understood correctly...xposed framework works on what already IS in there...so...should be the same...
Anyway...with those 2 things my stock(-ish?) note is awesome.

gravitybox vs x-blast

The interfaces for both of these apps
are going to be very similar: just a list
of things you can tweak. The real
differences are going to come in what
exactly you can tweak.
The organization on both is pretty
standard, and once you get it all setup,
you likely won’t need to go back into
the app for much. Interface really isn’t
a deciding factor here, but at least you
know what you’ll be working with.
 So What Can They Customize?
Short answer: nearly everything. These
modules are both fantastic solutions for
customizing your Android device
without flashing a custom ROM.
Your best bet once you download one is
just to run through every section and
see what you can change — you’ll likely
run into a customization you didn’t
even know existed, but soon will wonder
how you ever lived without it.
Above you can see the options for
customizing the status bar in both
apps. You get mostly the same types of
things with a couple of noticeable
differences. For one, XBlast has
gestures available for the status bar.
GravityBox, while it supports a double
tap on the status bar to turn off the
screen, doesn’t support other gesturing
like swiping left or right or long-
pressing.
However, GravityBox has Notification
Heads Up, a feature that gained hype
recently with the announcement of
Android L and the new pop up
notifications. If either of those tickle
your fancy, you may want to pick one
over the other.
Moving onto the lockscreen is where
XBlast really shines. GravityBox has its
fair share of lockscreen tweaks for sure,
but XBlast outdoes it with the ability to
change the unlock icon, the color
around it, the size, and many other
parts of the lockscreen like showing
notifications on it. XBlast pretty easily
takes the cake here.
Each app has so many of its own
customizations that it would takes
pages and pages to elaborate on all of
them. If you’re curious about the
smallest of the tweaks available in
each, like XBlast’s ability to customize
your build.prop or GravityBox’s ability
to tweak the Google Experience
Launcher, download each of them
individually and give them a shot.
However, don’t have both activated at
once or you’ll run into some wonkiness.
 Multitasking Tweaks
Both of these apps take a slightly
different route for multitasking. There
are other ways of getting multitasking
on your device , but having it baked into
the module is super convenient.
XBlast takes this approach in three
different ways: a Circle App Launcher,
an Appbar, and Gesture Anywhere.
Circle App Launcher displays a cool
ring-like effects along one of the sides
of the screen that you can scroll
through to access other apps. Appbar
simply makes a list of apps appear on
the side of the screen. Both are
controlled by a swipe in from the
outside of the screen, and they make
for super simple multitasking.
They’re very customizable, from the
transparency to the size of the
activation area, and they work
surprisingly well. Circle App Launcher
can be seen below on the left, and
Appbar on the right.
For this kind of multitasking, XBlast is
your module.
GravityBox, on the other hand, has its
own kind of special feature: Pie
Controls. Pie Controls are useful if you
want to hide the onscreen navigation
keys and only access them from a
swipe up from the bottom (or in from
the side if you prefer). It comes from
the famous PAC ROM , and it has made
a name for itself as a staple of the
rooting and tweaking community.
You can customize the heck out of the
Pie Controls in GravityBox’s settings,
and it’s a fantastic way to save screen
real estate if your device has onscreen
keys. Plus, with the multitasking button,
you can reach Android’s built-in
multitasking super quickly anyway.
Above, you can see the Pie Controls in
action. On the left is what happens
when you swipe up quickly — releasing
from the swipe will press the button
your finger is on when you lift up,
making it pretty dang fast. However, if
you hold it and wait without lifting, it
greys out the background and gives you
some system info, especially helpful if
you like to live in fullscreen mode
without a notification bar.
If you like XBlast but still want Pie
Controls, check out another Xposed
module called Ultimate Dynamic
Navbar, which we’ve reviewed . It can
help complete your customization
experience.
 Who Is The Winner?
You tell us. Let us know in the
comments which Xposed module you’re
using and why.
As for me, I would have to recommend
XBlast. It’s available on a wider range
of devices (Android 4.0+) and it has
significantly more customizations like
lockscreen notifications, quiet hours,
multitasking, and build.prop mods. Still,
I love GravityBox and have used it for a
while on my own device. Try both out
and see which you like best.
Is this a poem?

[R&D] oZoP support and compatibility

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)
SCREEN RECORDING VIDEO PREVIEWS

These are recording of the animations, but they also are a quick example of some of the options from the oZoP Theme Engine where everything you see that is themed is mix and match how ever you choose
Stock
Missing Link
Nexus 7
iOS
Flyme
Blur
Google Pixel
MIUI
Full-screen Caller ID
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!

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.

I will literally be flashing this rom (if/when) he makes it within minutes of it being uploaded. And I immediately flash every mod he does. Absolutely amazing work. I cannot thank you enough. If u need any beta testing please PM me. Deserteagleslim is my name on everything yahoo, Gmail, telegram, aim, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram everything. Easy to find me. Please let me know.

What do i need to flash over vanilla GSI / ROMS to get "extra goodies" functionality ?

What do i have to install on top of a vanilla rom or gsi to have nice customization options like customizing buttons, toolbars, showing network activity, accents, themes, generic ui tweaks etc that are usually available on roms like ResurrectionRemix/ AOSPExtended many others.
I noticed some are specific to their own roms, but most options are generic, so I am thinking the rom creators integrate something and then customize it.
What is it and where can i get it ?
