[Q] Changing calendar and battery meter - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi guys
used to have a rom which was fine except for transfering data so I had to move to another one (MCCM HD 4.0) but I have 2 gripes:
1. the calendar week starts on Sunday where my previous rom started on Monday.
I cannot find anywhere the setting that will allow me to change it to Monday. Does anyone know how to do it?
2. the battery meter has been done with white numbers on a light green background (and they are also left justified instead of right justified) but they are totally unreadable. I would like to change them to an easier to read version like black numbers on a green background. Again can anyone tell me how to do it or point me in the right direction (or thread)?
Thanks
Paolo

Display Time and Battery?

Sorry if has already been posted - I did search and found nothing. I'm going mad trying to get both the Time and battery to display on the task bar. I can only ever seem to get one or the other and really need both. I've seen theme pictures which have them, but only the iphone style. I've tried HD tweak and even with both set I only seem to get one. I'm not worried about the date, but that would be nice aswell.
If anyone can help it would be great.
I also second this. I've done a search and read various threads about having both, but they don't offer a method of showing both the normal/standard icons on the top.
Wisbar sounds like overkill. wkTask, ditto, don't need another app just for this.
Lordsmiff's color bar prob. works (didn't try), but want an actual icon, not a colored bar along the top.
There are some really awesome icons (the battery with %) for these 2 now, so I'd like both.
My iPhone displayed time and battery pretty much in most situations... not sure why it's so hard on WM phones.
Thanks
Try with SKTools man
Thanks for the info on SKTools, but I beleive this only does date and time, as that is whats listed in its tweaks section. Can you confirm it will display the battery and time?
Thanks
I couldn't find anything else either, but I'm happy with the colorbar; to be honest, I think it works better than an icon solution, as just a glance up top tells me what I need to know, where I would have to squint at an icon.
So, give it a shot...you can always uninstall it
I use Quickmenu which also displays the battery on the left while the time (and date using hdtweak) is displayed on the right. Use the wiki for the dl-link.
Nope, but u can combine it with "dciBattery", it's very light and elegance. I like it.
SKtools and "dciBattery" are perfect solution for your pane, i think.
Sorry for my english

Opera closing down when going into landscape mode?

Hi!
Whenever i turn my Touch HD around while viewing a website with opera, opera minimizes itself and takes me back to TF3D...
Can anyone help me with this?
I get this too mate. Think we need to upgrade opera. I've noticed some updated versions kicking around on here somewhere but can't seem to find the latest version!
anyone point us in the right direction? thanks in advance.
This has been solved here million times. Uninstall colored status bar icons and battery and you won't have problem with opera.
I have a coloured icon bar installed and sometimes have this problem. I've found a way to stop it happening the last three times it's happened though without needing a reboot - here's a post about it. I'm not sure what's causing it or if it's just pure luck the last three times I've stopped it happening. I guess time will tell.

Then you can install sdkcerts and re-install it and still not have a problem.
i had conflicts with a few installs... forgotten which but it wasn't the coloured icons bar (htc top bar)
It is actually the colored battery icon which causes trouble. Darklord battery icon causes it as well, but somehow it works sometimes ...
hi,
although this is not a fix, it's a workaround that works on mine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3096009#post3096009
So here's what I have found out on my device:
- I've got the darklord colored icons including the battery icon, however, I skippped the 4th installation step involving the manual copying of the bluetooth icons ;
- Opera Mobile works without trouble when switching into landscape mode, unless ActiveSync is still running, for example, you have just disconnected from your desktop computer but forgot to close the ActiveSync application on your HD.
For the rest, I have no trouble at all with the darklord colored icons. So if you want to have colored icons, go for the latter I guess ...

Edit 1: added link to the darklord icons
Opera closing on rotation
THANKS for the link Georgeous2008 The color icons are great. But I can't figure out how to get the bluetooth icons to show. Do I save them in some registry file? Could you shed a little light? Appreciate your help.
Thanks

Prevent "stacking" of alerts and notifications - how?

I'd like to prevent my notifications and program "badges" (can't think of the proper word!) From stacking up in my notification bar at the top of the screen.
It happens when i have a lot of icons there already, ie wifi, alarm etc. Despite there being plenty of room in the middle of the bar, my notifications all stack into one icon on the extreme left hand side with the number of different programs/notifications shown as a number.
Is there a way to prevent this behaviour and force android to use all the available space on the notification bar?
I'm running Ion r2 on my Dream, although my phone has always done this, with the stock rom and JF 1.5 as well.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer!
Sure, keep the number of notifications low and they won't stack. They stack when you run out of space on the bar. I know you think that there's lots of space, but if you unstack them, rest assured that there are definitely too many to fit in the space available.

Unfortunatly there is no forseen solution to this problem. I experience it as well. I think the best we can hope for are new phones with higher resolutions.

This isn't right. There is definitely space for 4 more icons, yet it stacks with just 2.

I'm on Ionr2 and I have 4 icons (email, Toggle Settings, Twidroid, USB) on the left side before the stacking starts. I'm not sure if it's gone up to 5 or not.

When the phone is in portrait mode it stacks when there are more than 2 items on the left hand side - even though there is space for more items. When in landscape, it shows all the notifications/app icons individually.
Very annoying, since the home screen will only display in portrait mode and wont auto rotate when the phone is turned.
Im convinced there must be something i can do to fix this issue!

I was talking about portrait mode. I'm pretty sure there's a fix since I do not have this problem. However, my home screen does rotate though, since I have dxTop.
Do you happen to have Quick Calendar installed? Even though Quick Calendar did not display a little icon on the top for each item in the list and only say in my "ongoing" area on the bar, when I removed it the stacking you talk about went away! It was driving me crazy too, but it seems like either Quick Calendar or the OS sees each entry, even though it doesn't have an icon and counts them.
Not sure if it will help you, but my phone has been working properly after I disabled Quick Calendar. It's a shame, I like the app. :-/

Genius! Removing Quick Calendar solved the problem - thanks!
I've put a link to this thread at the devs website - perhaps when he has solved the issue he could let us know, so we can go back to using his otherwise useful app.
Never had this type of problem, only thing is that my colors blend together because of the custom theme I am using >.<
Ok, I confirmed with the developer this morning, it is QuickCal, though I guess any other app that hides icons would also have this problem as it is a restriction in the os. Jim (the developer) works for google and plans to petition his employer to make some changes to the way the notify bar works. The os allows the developer to 'hide' notification icons, but they still take up an invisible space.
We should see an update in the next couple of days to make a nicer widget with more info and smaller font size, so this may satisfy me if the widget is decent.

Awesome - I already miss QuickCal and I only uninstalled it yesterday!

Annoying black bar

After upgrading my ROM to 1.48 i get a black bar in some menus, such as the contacts menu, and some settings menus.. It's like a black bar on top of the menus hiding whatever's beneath it.
Its quite hard to explain, so if anyone will tell me how to capture a screenshot, i will post some screen as fast as possible. I just want to hear if anyone got the same black bars, and if they know how to fix it?
Hi,
I've got the same issue in the original 1.43 FRE ROM.
But, fortunately, it comes and goes...
I hoped it would have been fixed in 1.48.
Greetings
Sorry to disappoint you but it is not fixed, atleast not on the danish version
Perhaps we have to wait even longer for the next ROM if any
Same here..
I have exactly the same problem (using the danish 1.48 official ROM). It started with one black bar in contacts, and now it's freaking 2 consecutive black bars in contacts.. WTF?! Problem arose when updating to 1.48..
It this only a problem with the danish ROM?
By the way - whenever I have the phone linked to my laptop, the problem disappears... How very odd!!

Did you guys atleast used the Taskmanager to kill any program running in the background?
Sporadic error..
I haven't any problems today (after 3 days of black bars) - so I can't test whether it's an interfering app.. This seem to come and go. If I get it again, I'll use taskman. and test it..

[Q] Testers Needed: uIrish

Newbie, here.
A cool app, set to be marketed as a drinking game for St Patrick's day.
Is it fun? Is it unique?
We've also built in a lot of what we hope are unique functions...what do you think?
vocalization
1. vocalization of printed messages
2. regional vocalization
3. vocalization of messages not printed on screen
Visualization
1. new messages each time
2. meter display (on left of photo)
3. logo display (lower right
4. green tint on photos
Thanks (and apologies in advance if this is posted in the wrong area)
Cheers, S
