I was thinking to add swipe gestures to modify the volume and shakes to change the volume too, what do you think?
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.

Thank you for the feedback:good:

in regards to the mods that you performed could you please be more specific? i can apply them on the next release.
Are you running lollipop? i believe the icons go white on lollipop, can you confirm?

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.
Thank you for your feedback!!! :good:

Fully TESTED on Lollipop 5.0.x

[APP][16/11] Clockr - Text-based clock widget [UPDATED][v1.5]

Clockr v1.5.1 is now available from the Android Market.
NOW UPDATED TO VERSION 1.5.1!!
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
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!

Can't wait to see what you can make out of it!
Added some mods. Uploaded to here, and on my blog's downloads section
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! >.<

Hi Droyd,
First to comment
Maybe first to DL and post my results...
Great fan of the Mako release. Hope this one is as good as the Mako
I'll let you know ASAP.
regards.
Nexus Penguin
Looks great. I definitely gonna give this a try.
gonna test it out and see whats going on with this rom.thanks

cant see anything in dual-panel??? back button acts as home button closing everything out and taking you to the home screen??
Hi,
OKAY, downloaded and installed.
FYI : DO NOT INSTALL THE "toggleable Play Store" that you can find on the Slim website : it will not work. Get the "AROMA Apps installer" instead, it works like a charm.
I'm a great fan of this ROM on my Nexus 4 and Droyd was kind enough to answer our request to port it to Grouper.
I find the "Slim Based ROMs" the best : good battery life, lots of functions and customizations, more than decent speed (even if not the fastest) and, above all, reliable.
So this one is another winner and I will adopt this one... and probably make a donation to it's builder
I'll let you know further if I find something.
Regards.

Its not dual pane the back will send you home .. If you select something and want to go back to the main settings just swipe from the edge on the left towards the center.. Its like a swipe style settings or ribbon style.
Edit
Also give the included klp theme a try.

Navigation Bar problem
I really dig this ROM, thank you for porting it to grouper. I do have one problem I need some help with. If I change the system UI layout from tablet to phablet, the navigation bar disappears in while the tablet is in landscape. Thats the only problem I have, If anyone can help me resolve this I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Hi Myst,
If I not mistaken there is a setting somewhere that allows you to show the NavBar even in landscape mode.
Try this : Go to "Settings=>Navigation=>NavigationBar".
The last setting at the bottom is called : "Show Landscape".
Tick it and see if that works. You may have to reboot...
Regards.
NexusPenguin
I tried the method you posted, and had no luck finding that setting : (. I'd come across that before when using a beanstalk build, the setting never showed up. Thank you for trying, gonna tinker with it a little more.

For some reason that option is only showing on phones.. I have it on my n4 and ville but not on the n7..
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hi,
Indeed : checked it on my grouper, and the option vanishes...
But the most weird thing is that the navigation bar is there. It's just the buttons not showing
Try to assign the NavBar a flashy color (i.e. red or green) and then rotate your device : you'll see the NavBar is there, only with no buttons showing
Weird !
NexusPenguin
Yes the nav bar is there and even the Google Now ring target will show, just not the buttons. I'm still enjoying the rom though, I can always change to expanded desktop and use the pie if I'm unable to exit an app.
Hy Myst,
Indeed, the Ring target are functional.
So what you might wanna do is to assign Holo Launcher to one of the rings, which will bring you back to the home page...
I think you can also assign a "Back" function and a "Recent Apps" function.
So that would be an hybrid between pie and navbar
Regards.

NavPie®? $droyd$ might have accidentally stumbled onto something...
I was so eager that I installed this whilst at work. Probably not the smartest move considering I had no way to recover if the install went south on me. I actually tethered to my One S (also running Odyssey) and downloaded the zips, jumped into recovery, wiped 4 times and installed with no issues. I'm running into a couple of FC here and there. Especially when trying to run a video from Facebook. That's the one I can replicate rather easily.
Did you want a logcat of that or should I try and run a fresh and proper install first to see if that clears up the issue? Not sure if pulling the zips directly from teh internets to my N7 was the smartest move. I've always downloaded to my PC then transferred over.
And that stock wallpaper! Damn that's a good looking piece of artwork. Also the boot animation looks kick ass on the N7 as opposed to the One S. Almost 3D like.

Nah I've noticed the video thing... Seems to happen in tab mode.. Works fine on other ui modes.. I'll look into it as soon as I can.. Updated the ROM last night to 4.3.1 so as long as the build went good I'll look at the problem for the next update.

Hi,
Good thing I don't watch videos on Facebook...
BTW : what's FaceBook ? Ah yeah... I think I have an account somewhere to be able to save my Dragon Vale (great game !) "village" incase I do something wrong at flashing my ROM
I agree about the wallpaper and I already asked Droyd if it would be feasible to get it in the N4 version of his ROM (the best for my needs)...
If not, I'll dig into the system files to retrieve it and use it for my N4... unless it's copyrright protected of course !!!!

[APP]Holo Steam Modification

The Steam mobile app is definitely due an update, the last update was released in March 2012, but I don't see that changing for a long time.
The current interface for the Steam app is terrible, low quality images all over the show, it's a direct port from the iOS app, and that most certainly
does not follow the Android design guidelines. If Valve won't fix and update the app, who will?
I will.​
This App is a modification to the official app from Valve on the Play Store. This mod completely changes the user interface from the ugly interface
that is currently in use, to a more pleasing interface known as "Holo". The visuals of this app follow the Android design guidelines as closely as it
possibly can without having to recode the entire app.
As well as this app being a visual update, the app also comes with speed increases, stability and general smoothness all the way throughout the app.
The standard app uses images for the text input box, send button and many more features of the app; using images for assets such as this contribute
to slowing down the speed of the app due to there being more files to read from. I have removed the need for many images in this app by moving the assets
from using images to using official Android code (Assets such as chat text input and the send button).
Every single visual asset of this app has been changed and rebuilt using the Android guidelines. The action bar is no longer an ugly bar with diagonal pin stripes
with a gradient overlay, it's now a single colour Android action bar. The chat bubbles are no longer obnoxious low quality bubbles, they're now high quality boxes
similar to that of the boxes used for Hangouts. All these visual changes and more in the app.
On the official app, scrolling through web pages (such as people's profiles) was painful, scrolling would take forever with a huge noticeable lag on every scroll,
making tasks such as viewing your games list unbearable.
To install this app, you must first of all uninstall the official app from the Play Store if you currently have that on your device.
Once the app is uninstalled, you can then install this version.

02-01-14
Holo icons in navigation area have been redone, their size is also correct this time
03-01-14

Amazing work! Scrolling is now also waaay smoother than on vanilla.
Really impressive

Looks great! Really needed this, I couldn't take much more of the default app's appearance.
If only Valve would do something about it sooner
Would it be possible to drag the side panel menu in from the side, and hide it away with another swipe? Similar to the new Play Store style?
Other than that amazing job!

In the current state the app is in, I cannot. However, I am working on a separate app which will replace this, that app will be full holo and be on the Play Store.
How exactly do you modify an app like this? Is there a general overview/tutorial somewhere?
God I would love this done to the Rdio app.

There are various programmes which will decompile an app, once you've decompiled the app, you will be left with the apps source code.
Once you've got the source code, you can start modifying images, XML files and Java files. Once you've done, you can recompile it, usually using the same programme as the one you used to decompile, although the signature will be different

Oh my god oh my god oh my god THANK YOU! I have been waiting for such an update for aaaages. I've posted the link for a few of my Steam friends and they're testing it out - here's what we discovered.
I found a first bug and a thing or two which can be reverted:
- If you have pending messages, touching the number near the name doesn't open the chat. I need to touch the name, then touch chat.
- The message boxes used to be gray and blue, now everything is white. If you can add alternating colors, it'd be great!
Suggestions for expanding features (which may be impossible since decompiling doesn't give the original source, but asking can't hurt!)
- Do you think you can fix the notification system? Steam somehow doesn't push them like WhatsApp does.
- Steam group chats is something the app has lacked for forever!
- Ability to clear history of certain chats while leaving others untouched?

The bug with tapping the chat button not working is a long standing bug in the normal Steam app and is completely random whether it happens or not, I will continue to look into a fix for this.
Alternating colours were a thought while developing, however in the end it was decided to use completely white. The white is much more appealing than alternating colours, it also attempts to mimic the Hangouts chat boxes.
I assume you mean to have the notifications to include what the message is?
It would be incredibly hard to add this, but I may attempt this in the future.
This you already can, just enter a chat with a certain button, press on the overflow menu and press the button that drops down.
Is it possible for you to release the source code or is Steam's license prohibiting that? Just asking since my Steam account is too valuable to be put at risk. Now, I am not saying that OP is out here to steal peoples login info, but there's always a risk involved when you are logging in through a 3rd party app.
If only Valve would man up and update the damn app. It's been what, over 1½ years since they updated it, yes, it looks horrible, it's slow and barely usable.

The chat button not working problem just appeared for me for two people I usually speak with, didn't happen before, but I think that's a coincidence then.
If you could include the option for alternating colors, it'd be great. Google design choices aren't always perfect either and I like to see who's who at a glance.
With the notification, I mean that the notifications often don't get pushed but feel like they get fetched, since they often don't notify while the screen is off and when the screen is on it suddenly notifies again, having like a 20 minute delay. Though I think it's just Steam not using the Google Push Notifications, and this might be impossible for you to fix.
Attempting sounds great! Sadly I think you'd need cooperation from Steam somehow, I don't suppose there's a clear API and messing around in decompiled code isn't exactly very structured .
The clear history option was requested by a friend, they wanted to batch-remove some histories, though I can't really see the point of it. Might be that they have a lot of messages from lots of people.

Geak OS
Just a couple of suggestions here.
1. Add an English version of the news widget.
2. Add 12 hour format for the clock
3. Do not automatically sort all of our apps into many folders, it makes sorting it all out a train wreck.
I love the direction of this theme, however. It has great animations and colors. Also, could someone explain to me what the GeakOS account is for? I am reluctant to sign up.
Reply to your suggestions, Thanks !

Fist of all, thanks so much for your suggestions !
here is what im trying to do:
1. for the news widget, the English version will come, im searching for internatial rss.
2. you could set the clock to 12 hour format on the settings.
3.for the automatically sorting options, If you do not like it, we could try to change this in the next version, if most of users feel the same way like you.
for the GeakOS account, signing up one is for cloud service, the next version will support this function.
So anything else?
Have a nice day.
Thanks for the fast reply. I am glad to hear about the future inclusion on English for the widget. Could you please direct me to where, in the settings, is the option to make the clock 12 hour format?
I will continue to check in for updates and further suggestions. The theme is very fluid and nice in my limited use, so that is definitely a good start. Can't wait for further improvements!

For the present, if you install the Geak os for the first time, You could see that all the apps are fold in the folder.
I want to know if you like it or Not !

I personally don't like this arrangement. Too many folders...
So, you want less folders ?

i can release all the apps just on the launcher, or fold them on the folders, so which one do you like better?
And for the icons, if you find some icon is ugly, i could draw again for you

Ya the older style without auto folders is much better. Icons look better now. One more thing which I had requested earlier was contact photos. sure many people would want it. Especially if you can get MiUI style icons for contacts without photos... Something like what follows next

Really good idea !!

I really think it is a good idea and we also consider to add the smart avater to the contact.
But we are confusing how to do it in details and whether most people would like it !
So you mean if you add the contact you do not want to add the photot in your gallery.
Instead, you want the system match one for you, right?
how to design it to make most people like it? any further ideas?
Did anyone know how to link to a foor?
I am kind fo new here.
so could anyone tell me how to link to specific floor on the contents??
Ya if there is no photo selected for any contact then the system (GEAK OS) should display a specific icon for that contact automatically instead of the boring default contact icon. If it displays the icons like MiUI of Gmail then it would be nice. I recommend that you take a look at Identiconizer app be GermainZ. Its fabulous and maybe you will get some idea.

I like it bro
hope on the progress the ram usage will keep small like that
maybe it can fold the apps according to category maybe
and bro I'm on dual sim phone maybe can it support dual sim ?
if not that's fine i'll just swap the sim
keep the good work
hope it'll get to play store soon
and prepare the donate version

Yeah I got that
Depending on your words and I also tried MIUI and the link you give me.
If user do not set the photo of contacts:
For the miui, It display the two letter of the name, just in a different font.
For the ChameleonOS, It only display the first letter.
So none of them seems very satisfied , I wonder if i coud display a more interesting pic, instead of bank.
How do you think?

[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
STATUSBAR SECTION:
Statusbar part.1
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

PULLDOWN QUICK SETTINGS SECTION:

Expanded QuickSettings Count
Animated Pressed Toggle Icons
NavBar
Lockscreen
oZoP Theme Engine:
Keyboard Background (with users choice)
Keyboard key bg and text coloring
Full System Background
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)

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?
