Battery Status themes and theme questions

Ikarus suggested we start a new thread with our customized themes and questions on theming, so I thought I would post my current to start it off.
Theme includes the segoe ui font. Ikarus said he would assist in this thread as time permits for him, otherwise anyone with BS experience can jump in and assist anyone with problems.
If you don't know what the excellent Battery Status is, check out here
Here is the online-manual for customization, which is linked in the first post of BS-Thread too.

Yet another clock theme
Here's a clean and simple theme i made for my wizard. Not all meters can be shown, since i made icons for only the ones i use (no operator info, no AM/PM indicator for 12h clock, maybe something else is not implemented).
Includes icons for tray launcher - BT on/off, WiFi on/off, Phone on/off, rotate screen, disable screen and lock device.
With Ecqlipse 2 icons used for Touch commander and ppcProfiles Pro with modified tray icons and profile selection menu to match the overall look (done with ResourceHacker since ppcProfiles has no skinning option) it makes quite a good impression
Works best with HTC Touch Today screen theme, or other dark backgrounds.
Enjoy.

Nice job Mr_Deimos, looks great with a dark theme.

great job thank you

All the themes will be moved here this weekend
maybe interesting for theme-makers..
Eyecandy for KDE
Many sets of images in png-format.. maybe useful for making themes

Just started using this program and love it.
I actually got rid of Ilauncher since all I was using it for was the meters.
Keep those themes coming

Hi ikarus,
- How do you add the class="start_app" in the class "date" or the class "cpu_utilization" ?
I tried <Item class="date" ontap="\Windows\Calendar.exe" > but it doesn't work.
- How do change the icons for class="battery_ac_icons" ?
- Sorry to ask : where can I find the manual with all the tags ?
- Something strange : if the view with the CPU load is not active, the CPU load is not displayed in the taskbar. If the view is active and BS is minimized, the CPU load is still displayed in the taskbar.
- I believe the skin setup should override the option setup : if the option is set, the CPU frequency is bold, even with :
<Item class="cpuspeed" >
<label fontfamily="Tahoma" fontsize="12" bold="0" />
</Item>
- When trying to display the CPU utilization below the icon, using :
<Item class="cpu_utilization" ontap="CtlPnl" index="4" subindex="2" >
<image src="CPU.png" width="12" top="2" left="10" />
<label fontfamily="Tahoma" fontsize="12" width="40" top="7" left="-25" align="center" />
</Item>
Only the label area below the icon is refreshed (12 pixels) instead of the whole area (40 pixels).
Thanks again for this great apps.
Kind regards,
Herunim

Hello Herunim,

- Sorry to ask : where can I find the manual with all the tags ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
online-manual for customization, which is linked in the first post of BS-Thread too.
Shall i make the fontsize in first thread bigger?
Basically i don't like to emphasize so much, because it irritates more then..

you have to use ontap="StartApp", which specifies the action to do.
btw. the class="start_app" implicitly makes use of ontap="StartApp"..
After that you can supply the parameters for that action (see manual) e.g. path="\Windows\Calendar.exe"
Don't you've seen the example for AppLauncher at first page of BS-Thread?
Anything you need is used in the example...
btw. i've just moved it to first page of this thread.

there are a lot of methods, e.g.
- replace the bitmaps for that icons (copy the resources from default-folder to your desktop-computer and check which ones to change)
- use two <image src="..."... > for the images, where you can use png/bmp/gif/jpeg..

It's by design. The taskbar-indicator is primarily for showing the cpuspeed.
If no cpu-utilization reading is on today-screen (and cpuscaler is disabled), then there's no need to hold the resources for cpu-utilization. Any resources for cpu-utilization will then be released.

Hi ikarus,
The download link for "HTC Home style by tzm0510" in post #10 seems to be incorrect?

Hi ikarus,
Thank you for your answers.
I'm still having troubles with the battery icons:
<Item type="icon" class="battery_ac_icons" ontap="CtlPnl" index="3" >
<image src="OnBatt.png" />
<image src="OnAC.png" />
</Item>
doesn't work.
It seems that path with accents are not correctly handled. Using:
<Item class="cpu_utilization" ontap="StartApp" path="\Windows\Menu Démarrer\Task Manager.lnk" >
<image src="CPU.png" width="20" top="2" left="10" />
<label fontfamily="Tahoma" fontsize="12" width="20" top="7" left="-20" align="center" />
</Item>
makes BS revert to the default theme.
Kind regards,
Herunim

Hi,
I had this code in my xml. The date and clock is showing fine but the alarmon image is always showing even when alarm is set to off.
Anybody knows how to make it work?
Thannks!
Edit : Another question...what does absolute parameter do?
Code:
<Row>
<View height="14">
<Item class="date" ontap="CtlPnl" index="16">
<label text="dddd, dd MMMM yyyy" bold="1" fontsize="12" left="-28" top="2" align="center" />
</Item>
</View>
</Row>
<Row seperator="1" >
<View height="50">
<Item class="clock" ontap="CtlPnl" index="16">
<label text="HH':'mm':'ss" fontsize="40" left="-28" top="2" width="240" align="center" fontfamily="Alien Encounters" />
</Item>
<Item class="clock_alarm" ontap="CtlPnl" index="16" >
<image top="6" left="-22" />
</Item>
</View>
</Row>

From what i've seen, the alarm icon works only if you use png image-based clock. I think it was mentioned somewhere that it won't work with a label class based clock.
Try getting digit files (0.png - 9.png, separator.png and empty.png") and clock code from any of the themes using png clocks to confirm if it is in fact the case.

it's mentioned in the online-manual, but i don't know whether it works with accents.
You must load the xml on your PC with wordpad and "save as" "Unicode-document".
It's defaulted to ansi-encoding which is good for english. Even german users should do it btw...

This will NOT WORK yet.
alarmon is part of digit_clock-component and does not work without the digit_clock. I don't know when, but maybe next year i have more time to make it work..

Hey Ikarus,
Is there anyway that using "ontap" for a row, we can toggle the view of the next row (right now, for next row action, I can only find "ToggleNextRow" which enables or hides the next row. I was looking for something similar to ToggleView, i.e., ToggleNextRowView)..

build 0264 - 22/12/2007:
- fixed: png allowed for battery_ac_icons
- removed: version-attribute from Window, version < 1 not supported any longer
- added: <Window ... custombg="0" > for using default-system-theme-background
- added: for RegistryTracker,
<image src="filename%d.png"...> respectively <image src="filename%s.ext"...>
for using images depending on registry-value
if a value is not covered by an image, then filename-1.ext (dword) or filename_empty.ext (string) will be used
- added: Mask to apply to registry-value (dword)
e.g. <label text="%d" mask="0xFF" >...

hello shantzg, there's no way yet. Do you mean to switch the view or open a certain view?

ikarus, i meant open a certain view. Actually, I thought that if we have this feature we can have a "full-fledged" app launcher with BS. In one row, we can have 3-4 items that work as "tabs", and next row contains launcher icons. So, whenever we click on a tab, it switches the view of the next row accordingly so we see the corresponding icons.

Ikarus said that i have to post my problem here...
Here it is:
Screen1 = my Today-Screen
Screen2 = view 2 of BS in my Today-screen
It takes the red marked Field in Screen4 to open the tasks. When I tap onto the Tasks ("7 aktive Aufgaben") it switches to View 1.
Is there something wrong?
And my Problem 2: the green marked Field (in Screen3 and Screen4) doesnt change anything... it should change the views, but it doesnt change...
Please help me. Thanks you!

ThrottleLauncher Skining tutorial

Hi!!!
Here you have a little tutorial on how to create Themes for throttlelauncher. I still have to work on it but almost all is here. With this, theorically you can create almost any interface (still there's some work to do to achieve this ).
Any help, sugestions or requests are appreciated.
To read this tutorial is recomended to know XML file format.
First of all the file structure of a setup for throttlelauncher must be this.
- throttlelauncher instalation
|- Setups
|- MyTheme
|- Skins
|- Skin1
|- skin.xml
|- ...pictures of the skin​ |- Skin2
|- skin.xml
|- ...pictures of the skin​ |- Skin3​ |- config.xml
|- ....imported xml files
|- icons
|- ....my icons... any dir estructure​can be placed inside
To configure the app there are several tags. All the xml must be inside the root tag.
configuration: this tag contains the configuration parameters for the app (especified by the tag param). The allowed params names are:
- appear: Boolean value. Defines if the animation from down to top when the app got focus is activated (only valid for the standalon app).
- skin: defines the path of the folder of the skin to use. Relative to the app folder. See some post's below how to create the skin files.
- speeddecreaserate: factor that multiplies the value of your finger speed when starting kinetic scrolling.
- speedinitmultiply: factor that sets how fast the speed will be decreased in kinetic scrolling. IMPORTANT: set a value greatter than 1.
- status: two possible values. 0: normal (will show title bar and button bar of the app). 1: Maximized (will show the app fullscreen).
- osdenabled: It true, the OSD top bar will be shown when element is selected.
- imagecontactnophoto: Relative path to the image to be used it there's no contact photo.
- minclicktime: Min lapse time in miliseconds between the mouse down and up events to perform a click over the pressed element.
- .... there are some more... I will add them latter.
Example:
Code:
<configuration>
<param name="screenshot" value="True" />
<param name="appear" value="True" />
<param name="skin" value="Setups\Touchflo3D\skins\general" />
<param name="speeddecreaserate" value="1.2" />
<param name="speedinitmultiply" value="1.4" />
<param name="status" value="1" />
</configuration>
page: wich represent a page inside the app. Must be placed inside the root tag and the first one in the file is going to be the first one been showed by default. Page can have 2 attributes:
- name: contains the name of the page. This is going to be used when whe create a link to this page.
- loadonstartup: Boolean value, the default is "true". I recomend to set it to "false" in any page that be do not use frecuently to reduce memory usage.
- autounload: Indicates if the page will be unloaded automatically (and all it's resources will be freed).
- autounloadtime: time a unused page will remain loaded until autounload event starts. This param will be only used it autounload is true.
- import: will import the target xml as content of the page.
Example:
Code:
<page name="Home" loadonstartup="True" autounload="false">
row: Must be placed inside a page tag. They are specified in order from top to bottom. The following attributes are allowed:
- name
- marginX / marginY : margin bettwen the elements contained in the row.
- rows: number of rows of elements. If you set it up to -1 the number of rows is infinite.
- minheight: minimum height of the row (use recomended with dinamically sized rows due to contents like all contactswith photo or runningapps or recent)
- mincolwidth:
- scrollingmode: one of [Paged, WheelOfFortune, Direct, Kinetic, Auto, None]
- alignment: one of [left,right,center]
Example:
Code:
<row name="Programs" marginX="5" marginY="1" rows="3" scrolling="Paged">
footer: Must be placed inside the root tag. It parametters are exactly the same as the row. The footer is common for all the pages. Only one footer can be especified.
icon: Must be used inside the row tag or the footer tag. Used to display an icon. The allowed attributes are:
- name: Will be shown in the OSD when the icon is selected.
- path: path of the icon file. Recomended to use png. Can be absolute or relative to the app path. If the path is not specified, then the file on exec (if it's exe or lnk) will be used to obtain the icon image. No zooming efect will be applied in this case.
- exec: file to execute when the icon is clicked (deprecated, use event click instead).
- params: params for the file execution (deprecated, use event click instead).
- width: override the icons width.
- height: override the icons height.
- rowspan: indicates that the icon fills that number of rows intead of 1.
- showtext: will display the name of the icon as footer text.
Example:
Code:
<icon name="New Contact" exec="\windows\poutlook.exe" params="contacts -new" path="icons\contact.png" />
separator: must be especified inside a row or a footer. Allowed attributes are:
- name: if especified will show a vertical oriented text. If not especified the separator will show a vertical line.
Example:
Code:
<separator name="Personal" />

continues
text: Must be especified inside a row or a footer. Used to show text. Inherits all the atributes of the icon (so background icon can be displayed) plus:
- text: contains the text to be shown. The ~ symbol can be used for "new line", and two especial sentences:
* date: #$date,format#. Will be replaced by the date in the format especified. Will be updated automatically every second.
* reg: #$reg,key#. Will de replaced by the value of the desired key. Will be updated every second. When regkey is especified you can also use this format to parse date registry values: #$reg,key,date,dateformat
Example, start date for next apointment: #$reg,HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Appointments\Next\Start Time,date,MMM/dd/yyyy hh:mm#
- fonttype: font type specified by "fontname,size,bold" or "size,bold".
- fontcolor: RGB value.
- leftmargin: margin left of the text.
- topmargin: margin top of the text.
- spacing: interline spacing.
- textwidth: defines the width of the area filled by the text
- textheight: defines the height of area filled by the text
- textimages: defines a path where you can place images for each caracter on the text. Example: textimages="setups\Touchflo3d\icons\tf3d\numbers\#$char#.png" where #$char# will be replaced on the path for the character.
Example:
Code:
<text text="#$date,HH:mm:ss#~#$date,dd/MM/yy#~#$date,ddd#" fonttype="12,true" fontcolor="255,255,255" leftmargin="10" topmargin="10" spacing="-10" rowspan="3" width="100"/>
clock: must be inside a row or a footer. Inherits all the attributes of the icon. Can contain the following tags:
- hours
- minutes
- seconds
Each of those tags can contain a color attribute with the color in RGB for the line. If some of those tags is not especified, the respective line will not be shown.
Example:
Code:
<clock name="clock" path="clock.png" rowspan="3">
<hours color="0,0,100"/>
<minutes color="100,100,200"/>
<seconds color="160,160,255"/>
</clock>
allcontactswithphoto: must be inside a row or a footer. Will display all contact with photo matching the criteria in the attributes and assigned to the category "ThrottlePhotoDial".
- name: name of the tag element.
- categoryfilter: comma separated list of contact categories to be included on the filter.
- showcategories: If true will automatically show a separator for each category containing contacts.
- max: max number of contacts to display.
- width/height: define the diaplay size of the contact photos.
- All contacts with photo tag may contain two special icons with this two exec values: ":addcontact",":removecontact". This icons will open a contact selecting dialog allowing to choose a contact to asign or remove the "ThrottlePhotoDialer" category.
Example:
Code:
<allcontactswithphoto height="80" width="60" max="100" showcategories="True" name="Group unnamed">
<icon name="New Contact" exec=":addcontact" rowspan="1" height="80" width="80" path="setups\Default\icons\contact_add.png" />
<icon name="Remove Contact" exec=":removecontact" rowspan="1" height="80" width="80" path="setups\Default\icons\contact_del.png" />
</allcontactswithphoto>
lastapps: must be included inside a row or a footer. Will display the last 12 apps executed (same shown in the start menu). Can include the following attributes:

Skins
Skins are based on xml file as config.xml does. Skin xml file may only contain param tag placed inside the root tag. All the params are optional, so if you don't need one, don't especify it!!
All files refenced by the skin.xml need to be placed on the same skin folder.
Params tag format is the following:
Code:
<param name="name" value="value"/>
The allowed names and it's values meanings are:
- trasparency: will allow trasparency for the skin. This means that if the skin is applied to a row the row background will be filled with the main setup skin texture.
- pagebackcolor: backcolor to be used as page background (only used for main setup skin).
- rowbackcolor: backcolor to be used on the rows (this will be used as the trasparent color if trasparency is specified).
- texture: relative path to the texture image to be used as page background.
- rowtexture: relative path to the texture image to be used as rowbackground.
- buttonback: relative path to the back image to be used on all clickable elements.
- selectionimage: relative path to the hover image to be used when an element is selected.
- buttonbackmargin: margin to be used between the buttonback image and the main element image.
- fontstyle: font style for the text displayed for example in the separators or the contact names. Two formats can be used: "size, bold" or "size, bold, fonttype".
- linecolor: color to be used for lines. Must be specified in an RGB value.
- textcolor: color for text. RGB
- osdtextcolor: color for OSD text. RGB
- osdbackcolor: color to be used as the OSD back color. RGB.
- osdfontstyle: font style for the text displayed in the OSD. Two formats can be used: "size, bold" or "size, bold, fonttype".

Thanks, APBilbo, for sharing this. Really appreciate your help towards the community.

Thanks a lot!!! I really love this app. Its the best one I have found so far. I would be surprised if Verizon and T-mobile dont start using this in the phones they sell...

I wish I had the time to create using ThrottleLauncher, I guess I'll leave it up to the pro's. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[MOD] Changing the brightness curve in stock JellyBean

Ok, so with instructions from this thread - [MOD]Lower Auto-Brightness levels to save battery we can change the brightness curve without using 3rd party tools running on top.
Note: Seems like the output values need to be one more entry than the autoBrightnessLevels arrays.
And now the following lines contain the tweaked settings that make more sense for our cellphone. We need to extend the following arrays first.
Code:
<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLevels">
<item>5</item>
<item>20</item>
<item>50</item>
<item>100</item>
<item>400</item>
<item>800</item>
<item>1500</item>
<item>3000</item>
<item>6000</item>
<item>9000</item>
<item>15000</item>
</integer-array>
<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues">
<item>3</item>
<item>3</item>
<item>7</item>
<item>13</item>
<item>23</item>
<item>63</item>
<item>93</item>
<item>131</item>
<item>191</item>
<item>241</item>
<item>255</item>
<item>255</item>
</integer-array>
<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValuesPowerSave">
<item>1</item>
<item>1</item>
<item>5</item>
<item>13</item>
<item>23</item>
<item>63</item>
<item>93</item>
<item>131</item>
<item>191</item>
<item>241</item>
<item>255</item>
<item>255</item>
</integer-array>
The following lines should be changed too to the following:
Code:
<integer-array name="config_displayTempThresholdValues">
<item>1000</item>
</integer-array>
<integer-array name="config_displayTempHysteresisValues">
<item>200</item>
</integer-array>
<integer-array name="config_displayProtectionCapValues">
<item>0</item>
</integer-array>
And to finish it seems like we need to drop down the minimum backlight brightness level too in order to make use of our new curve. This can be changed in 'res/values/integers.xml', the stock value is 20,
Code:
res/values/integers.xml: <integer name="config_screenBrightnessDim">20</integer>
I personally just use a value of four and a warmup of zero.
Code:
res/values/integers.xml: <integer name="config_screenBrightnessDim">2</integer>
res/values/integers.xml: <integer name="config_lightSensorWarmupTime">0</integer>
Note: Once done, sign with the old signature of the file and then zipalign or you will bootloop after every /data wipe procedure!

Omar-Avelar said:
So I can see that the device by itself can really output dimmer backlight levels on the device. I can control that at will by doing the following as root:
Code:
echo 2 > /sys/class/backlight/psb-bl/brightness
The backlight really gets DIMM, which is insanely good for using the phone at night.
Question: Does anyone know a way or has an idea to change the way android registers the minimum backlight setting and also change the brightness curve? This would be for the stock JB firmware.

I use velis auto brightness set as amoled bright and high sensitivity with the stock dim and auto brightness switched off

<Updated original post with the relevant information since this is not a question anymore>

Updated the last line in order to be able to get lower brightness values.

Hi
I tried the mod on the JB Retail.EU homemade fastboot version. And so far so good it seems to work great.
Will see on the long term if I can see the improvement on the backlight
Thanks

The first one is which value to stop holding hysteresis for (if a 100 lux change is present or more), the second one is a timer/ticker on for how long to wait for the hysteresis curves before doing a fast change in the brightness levels.
I have no idea on the last one so I just played with it and haven't had much complains personally.

I got a bootloop to. Downloaded the EU Version. Currently i have the Homemade Version 91.2.260001.XT890.Retail.en.EU Version installed.

Solution for bootloop
Hello,
I did the downgrade to ICS and used the unbrick.
Now, my device is ON! =D

Better brightness curves
I don't quite understand why, but I have been experimenting with config_displayTempThresholdValues, config_displayTempHysteresisValues and config_displayProtectionCapValues, and your settings make it much smoothier and less jittery than the default ones; therefore I will use those.
However, I am not so sure about your brightness curve. I agree the default one is far too bright, but I find yours too dark and scaling up too slowly. I have been experimenting with multiple curves, and I think I have finally found one I am happy with:
Code:

I am not sure yet if we can go lower than 4 as a minimum value, and I am going to check it next.
Logarithmic curves to show low light behaviour:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Linear curves to show mid to bright light behaviour:

I have been doing some more testing, and I find a minimum brightness setting of 1 instead of 4 (default is 20) is even better.
I have adjusted the brightness curves to take this into account, with some wider difference between automatic and power saver, while trying to keep the power saver mode usable. I need to use the phone a bit longer, in different light conditions, including reading books in the dark, and when satisfied I will post my new settings.

Awesome! and yeah. I had to bump up the middle-low values the other day because it was not ramping up fast enough. It was a first approach -- but eventually we will get it good, I think 10-12 steps is pretty good too btw .
Oh, and for everyone I actually decided to take out the pre-modded framework files offline as depending on deodexed or odexed ROM's it was causing people to bootloop. I think it will be better to just include the curves on something more distributable!

Yes, my new curve is a bit too dark. I will have to do adjust the polynomial formula for faster ramping in the low-mid values as well, and do some more testing.

Could anyone provide the res.apk for a stock Rom (guess that would be odexed)?

Is this a known issue? Not something I've noticed when watching videos. I'll have to pay closer attention when playing media.

Some people notice that the top (earpiece) speaker is louder, ever so slightly, than the bottom speaker.
The default config puts emphasis on the earpiece speaker, making it just a few decibels louder. This fixes that imbalance.
Unfortunately it has to be flashed along side each ROM update.

Where did the file come from originally that you edited? Your mixer path values may conflict with custom rom mixer path values that were designed to work with a specific kernel & could cause people's volumes to be all jacked up. Back on the G2 I would take mixer file from one rom & put it in another with mixed results. Could be good.. could be bad... Might be worth the note of where yours came from.
Edit:
May be worth noting in the OP what values you changed to resolve the issue so others can make the change manually if they want.

Updated op with original and modified sections on the mixer_path.xml [from crDroid 6.0.1]

what rom are you using??
does this work on stock based roms? coz for what i know, crdroid is based on cm..

I'm on crDroid right now.
I'm looking into a way to change the values, rather than just replacing the file.
For the mean time, you can edit your own file if you are not sure about flashing this.

After further investigation, I've determined that the sound imbalance problem only affects certain ROM and/or kernel combinations.
For some reason some ROMs won't select the proper audio mode (two channel vs mono).
If mono is selected for audio playback through the speakers, the left channel signal is boosted, and right signal is merged into the left.
This still produces sound from the bottom speaker, however the signal is diminished. Creating an imbalance.
If the correct configuration, two channel mode, is the default the ROM and/or kernel picks to output sound to the hardware speakers, there is no imbalance.
There is most likely a fix, but it can't be done at the user level. It's a problem somewhere in audio signal processing in source, on the ROM or the kernel side.
•• MOTOROLA NEXUS SIX ••

Would a kernel with faux sound support and the faux sound control app remedy this?

I would likely think so.
If you hear a difference from before and after, please report back.
•• MOTOROLA NEXUS SIX ••

could you share with us the list of rom/kernels that have the mono issue?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk

I really don't want to turn this into that kind of thread.
If you experience imbalance, you really should let your ROM and/or Kernel Dev know in it's respective thread.
But my personal experience tells me, on my device, that crDroid (currently) has it.

Did anyone ever try this lol?

Yes. Myself and a few others from around the forums.
The issue seems to be fixed now, whatever was causing it.
•• MOTOROLA NEXUS SIX ••

OP I think you are on to something cause I just rooted and tried my first ROM. Before running stock I had no top speaker sound distortion. Now on custom ROM I have distorted top speaker noise. I could go back to my stock rooted to check.
It just sounds like my speaker is cracked at high volume, max volume wasn't a issue.
Notice this on my Shamu too, now I have the Angler Nexus 6P.
