I have modified the SystemUI.apk for the leaked captivate gingerbread (UCKF1) to toggle between sound on and vibration instead of airplane mode toggle.
Use at your own risk. Backup your systemui.apk before installing this.
It is based on stock theme, you will leave all theme mods
Looks like there is some problem with external sd card with this rom. People are facing it even on fresh installs of the rom without modded file. Make sure you have a perfectly working rom before you try this file. Try rebooting and making sure that your apps on sdcard are still there before you install this app.
It only toggles between 2 modes for now, I am working on getting it to toggle between all 4.
Instructions:
1. download moddedUI.zip
2. apply from CWM
3. Reboot and Enjoy
Thanks to:
1. DG : I pulled the deodexed SystemUI.apk from his cog5 b2
2. cezar: for the deodexed SystemUI.apk from continuum 5.6 which served as the reference for modification
3. dreamsforgotten: for some references in his thread on porting quickpanel
4. Daneshm90: for apk manager
And all other who I might have forgotten.
For Reverting.
1. Download the originalUI.zip file.
2. Apply from CWM
3. Reboot
EDITS:
1. Added acreenshots
2. Changed the SystemUI.apk to the one pulled from my phone just to make sure files weren't mixed up.
3. Tried the file that was uploaded earlier, works perfectly on my phone. Weird that it is acting different on different phones.
4. Gave instructions for reverting
5. Moved to CWM based install

Could this also be applied via Root Explorer by dropping the downloaded apk into the system/app directory?
Just finished this on Cog5 Beta2, works great. Toggle is a little confusing as when in Vibrate mode, the toggle does not appear lit, but when in ringer mode, it says "Sound Vibrate" and the toggle is lit.

Samsung switched this around in Gingerbread, so that's the "correct" way for the toggle to look now.

Thanks for clearing that up. I'm sure it will eventually be changed by a dev here.
Edit: And it may just be me, but after I rebooted from doing this, I noticed my Market stopped working. The icon went to a transparent generic apk icon with a sd card in the lower right corner and it said "Application not installed", which is BS cause adb shell and root explorer both said otherwise.

Can you elaborate ? For me in there are 2 modes:
1. Sound: It says "Sound", there is a green speaker and a green bar.
2. Vibrate: It says "Vibrate", there is phone with wiggly lines, and bar is not lit.
Are you seeing something else?

Apparently its a weird thing happening on the latest beta. A few other including myself have had it. Also, I don't have this mod anymore cause I had to reflash beta2. I should just throw it in the zip file.
Sent from my Captivate
If you are reflashing your ROM you can throw it in the zip file. Otherwise you can try to follow my method or use root explorer.
I'll try to make a CWM flashable zip sometime today.
Modded for CWM install
Flashed via CWM on Cog5b2. Fast, simple, and just plain works. Good job! and thanks.
Very nice! The airplane mode thing has been driving me bonkers.
Bumping this bcuz I like it so much!!
works great for me, thanks!

I had this happen to me too on cog5 b2, it was touchwiz 3, I removed touchwiz 3 and put in 4.5 and reflashed fresh, going through all of the motions, it happened to TW4 too.
I also added launcher, by itself and it seems very stable, touchwiz locked up and rebooted the phone a couple times and the applications menu got corrupted. There is a file or a class touchwiz needs' but I have no idea what it is.
Thanks so much. This was the only flaw I had with cog and this takes care of it!

Hi, Ive had Android Froyo 2.1 for about 5 months now and it hasnt given me any problems until today. My phone had died last night and when it dies I plug it in then start up Android on it. (by the way i have an energy rom) but when it goes to the black screen with all the system coding and stuff (sorry for my lack of terminology) it got to a point where it said something along the lones of "cannot find/open android folder"... "Phone stopped charging" and so on. then at the very bottom of the screen it says "Phone restarting in 5 seconds..."
To even start this screen and for me to normally get to my android system, I have to delete a file called "android" on my SD card. Because if I dont from the Energy Rom startup, it goes to the black screen with white writing and says that it "cannot find rootfs file" or something along those lines and just does not continue to load the Android system.
PLEASE HELP ME!! thank you very much!

Why don't you flash magldr and install another android rom

Hi All, I have searched but not found an explaination thats clear to me.... here goes.
Ideos X5, mine, updated with GB from Huewai site - beta version, works great!!! beter battery, faster wireless etc... update when flawlessly using instructions included in the update file.
Tried to update my friends ideos x5 exactly the same but a white one, and first stage loading the update went fine but then when it restarted it to load 2nd update file, - the 1k one, it just goes to pink screen. Obviously not seeing the sdcard...
Its not bricked because it seems to work fine... just appears to be missing some apps like the wireless/bluettoth/gps switcher that appears on mine when i pul down the notification screen, also maps says it has an error , and he does not have the 'beyond the sky' theme.... and only default keyboard laylout that pretty much sucks.
Now - the question is - can i remove the sd card from my phone, put it in pink screen mode and copy the image folder to my pc then copy it out to his phone? will that work?
I can't seem to flash it agian as it appears to not see the sdcard in flash mode hence why it goes to pink screen mode.
What phone model do you have? Which version of rom (from which thread) did you download?
Probably you need to do a downgrade. You have a thread for that.
It was the update from the manufacturers web site as I stated above - the beta vresion of gingerbread, Ideos X5 U8800 is the model of phone, not the pro version.
As I sid it appears to be running GB and the 'about phone' screen confirms this, just the apps are not all there and the boot up is different, looks like its loading frodo intially with the IDEOS logo then an android title appears, then it loads up to the gb lock screen.
Use the update from this thread (B518): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369296
It has only one step (2 steps are joined into one) and work fine
Edit: You can try using internal SD if it doesnt detect external... btw: Do you have fast bot turned off?
thanks fo ryur reply, but it did not help, this is the same version we used to get where we are at now.... it is two step upgrade, the last update file is 1k and has all the settings and apps config... or so it seems.
We have managed to get the update to complete, but there is one strange side effect, the internal sd only has 6 or 7 folders whereas my phone I upgraded 2 weeks ago has lots... I wonder if its write protected it or something.
to get round the "unable to see external sd" after running first update file - hence unable to load second file - by connecting to computer and replacing the imgage folder on the internal sd card with the ones from my phone. On restarting it imediately found external sd and the dload folder and completed its update.
Can some one explain why this worked? I don't understand why it did, but would like to.
Hello,
I have just installed CyanogenMod 7 for the Barnes & Noble Nook Color :: V7.0.3 using ClockworkMod Recovery.
After installing CyanogenMod 7, I install the Google Apps addon version: gapps-gb-20110307. The installation goes smoothly, and I receive the "Installation Complete!" message before I remove the MicroSD card and reboot.
Upon reboot from ClockworkMod Recovery, I receive an "Installation Failed" screen that tells me to power on and off the device. I do so, and successfully boot into CyanogenMod7.
I immediately proceed to the Homescreen, where the only items are "Messaging" "Contacts" "Clock" "Email" "Camera" and "Gallery". I have no prompt to set up my Google Account or Timezone. Also, I do not have Market, but I can connect to my WiFi network.
Thank you for your help, it is appreciated. I am obviously a noob, and my apologies for stepping on any toes!
Wow! Looking at some of the questions neighboring mine and their lack of responses, I tend to doubt that mine is going to get answered, even over the long run. I thought this forum had active users, at least that is what the Registration Video said...6 million active users was it???
First of all, deep breath. It may not get answered right away, but typically the questions get answered.
First off, any particular reason you are running 7.0.3? If I recall, this includes the old kernel that has terrible battery life. I would recommend going to 7.1 found here.
I don't know which gapps goes with 7.0.3, but I would double check to make sure it was the right one. I'd still recommend upgrading to 7.1 stable.
Also, I personally recommend doing ROM and GAPPS in two steps... I have eliminated some of the problems I have seen myself by using that method.
1. Install ROM... boot it up... let it settle in.
2. Reboot into CWM and install GAPPS... boot it up... do your thing
Also remember... 4 hours isn't a real long time to wait before posting a second post like you did... especially on a Sunday evening... This is a forum... not an immediate feedback application.
My apologies for my impatience. I did not mean to sound so callous, but after rereading my comment, I realize how abrupt it was.
Also, I remember the site introduction mentioning clicking on the thanks meter as a piece of site etiquette. How do I do that?
After following your advice, I am still having the same problem: not able to use the Android Marketplace as the item is not on my Homescreen, and the Google Apps are not installing.
I took biohazrd's advice, and I upgraded to 7.1 stable.
I also took DizzyDen's advice and installed CyanogenMod 7.1, reboot, let it settle, powered off, booted into Clockwork and installed the google apps pack (gapps-gb-20110828-signed), then rebooted again.
Still, I have no Android Marketplace.
As I stated in my previous post, I am a newbie, and I don't know what I am talking about, but off the top of my head, I have a feeling as if the google apps pack that I used (gapps-gb-20110828-signed) is not the right one. Could this hold any water?
Also, I don't know if it makes any difference, but I bought my Nook in December 2011 and it is a refurbished model. Because I purchased it in 2011, I updated the partitioning scheme using (repartition1GBdata-v1) and (reformatData-v1).
Thanks again, I appreciate the help!

If it isn't on the Homescreen, did you check by open App Drawer?
Thanks for the reply Votinh.
I did not find the Marketplace in the App Drawer. My app drawer currently contains:
Browser, Calculator, Calendar, Camera, Clock, Contacts, Dev Tools, Downloads, DSPManager, Email, File Manager, Gallery, Messaging, Music, Phone, ROM Manager, Search, Settings, Sound Recorder, Spare Parts, Superuser, Terminal Emulator, Theme, Chooser, Videos and Voice Dialer.
I was having a look around and figured out how to look at the Internal storage and found something called Market Apps Installer version 1.1. I click on it, but it offers few options to fiddle with and seemingly no way to access the Android Marketplace.
Again, thanks for your help, I truly do appreciate it!
If it doesn't work as expect, I guess you have to list step by step what you have done up to that point, that may help us pin point where and what you did wrong.
Also, pls clearly indicate where you run the ROM from.

I am not sure what you mean. Where can I possibly run the ROM from (what are the possible answers)? I would assume that I could run it only from the SD card. Sorry for being a newbie!
I will list step by step all of my actions and detail them in the response. Maybe, I will go through the whole installation process again and mark down everything that transpires.
Also, what do you think of my theory? That I am downloading and installing the wrong gapps pack?

In here, xda NC forum, you will frequently see the term "eMMC" and "uSD"
eMMC refers to the internal memory of the device, as currently where the B&N stock ROM resides while uSD is the external card where we can put the custom ROMs such CM7/9 in and run from there.
Depends on which method you choose to use, different procedures/instructions needed.

Everything is possible from bad zip to bad card.

I am ashamed to say it, but I do not know how to verify a checksum to ensure the intergrity of a download. Although, I did download the gapps file twice, once each on different computers, copied it to the SD card and attempted to update. Is it possible that I could have gotten 2 bad downloads on 2 different PCs?
I have gone back and redone every bit of my CyanogenMod and Google apps installation on my Nook Color. I have taken notes on it and below is my step by step description of what I have done and observed. My apologies for the book, but I wanted to be as thorough as I could. Thanks for your help and I would appreciate and advice that can help me resolve this unfortunate situation.
1. Downloaded ClockworkModRecovery (2gb_clockwork-0.7.tar.gz) from http://code.google.com/p/monster-rootpack/downloads/detail?name=2gb_clockwork-0.7.tar.gz&can=2&q=
2. Downloaded CyanogenMod 7.1 (update-cm-7.1.0-encore-signed.zip) from here http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=encore
3. Downloaded Google Apps (gapps-gb-20110828-signed) from here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version/Google_Apps
4. Downloaded Win32DiskImager (win32diskimager-binary) from here https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download
5. Extracted Win32DiskImager files to a folder on desktop
6. Decompressed and Extracted ClockworkModRecovery to Desktop (this took longer than I expected, the extraction strangely taking 5 minutes)
7. Start up Win32 DiskImager and receive the following File Error message: An error occurred while accessing the device. This usually means something is currently accessing the device; please close all applications and try again. Error 1 Incorrect Function.
8. The File Error message displays itself 3 times. I click OK three times, and then the Win32 Application opens, and I continue with my process.
9. Use Win32 DiskImager to write ClockworkMod onto my MicroSD card. The MicroSD card is a 1 year old, 2GB Transcend MicroSD Card. I use an Kingmax MicroSD card adapter to plug the card into my Computer’s SD card slot.
10. Copy the CyanogenMod 7.1 file and the Gapps 20110828 file to the MicroSD card.
11. Eject the MicroSD card from the PC, insert it into my Nook, and power on.
12. Boot into ClockwordMod Recovery, I go to Mounts and Storage, click on Format System and confirm YES. Next, I format Data and Cache.
13. NOTE: Previously, I was receiving an "Error: can't format /data" error as my newer Nook Color had a different partitioning scheme. I used ‘reformatData-v1’ and ‘repartition1GBdata-v1’ to remedy this when I first attempted to install CyanogenMod. It seems to have gone off without a hitch.
14. I then go to ‘install zip from sdcard’ , the choose ‘choose zip from SD card’ and select the Cyanogenmod 7.1 zip. It opens and installs.
15. After the install completes, I remove the SD card and reboot the Nook.
16. Upon reeboot, I get a Cyanogen loading screen for a few seconds, followed by an error screen that says Install Failed with a large red and white exclamation mark over a Nook clip art.
17. The Nook powers off after a few seconds. I then power on again and sucesssfully boot into Cyanogenmod. I do not have the Marketplace app at this point.
18. I power off, replace the SD card, and boot into Clockworkmod.
19. I choose ‘install zip from sdcard’ and then ‘choose zip from SDcard’ and the gapps zip. I confirm YES and install the gapps zip.
20. I remove the SD card and reboot the system. I receive the exact same ‘Install Failed’ error screen with the red and white exclamation mark over a nook clip art.
21. After a few seconds the nook powers off after the error screen. I power on again and boot into CyanogenMod.
22. There is no Marketplace app on the homescreen or in the App Drawer, leaving me with the same initial problem
Thank you for everything!
I don't think Market will show until you have registered with google. There is a setup wizard or one time provisioning process to go through. That may be the thing that is failing when you first boot. Not sure how to get you back on track.

Re: Google Apps Not Installing
Hi,
After you install CM 7.1, Google Apps, and reboot (hard power off and cold boot - the first boot will fail), look for the Google Talk app in your App Drawer and log in to it with your Google credentials. That should spawn the installation of the rest of the Google Apps, including the Android Marketplace.
Also, strangely enough, when installing my first app from the Market, I had to install it with the device physically in landscape mode, as the installation failed when the device was being held in portrait orientation. This seemed to clear up after the first app was installed.
I stumbled across this thread tonight, as I was searching for a solution to this exact problem while updating a friends Nook Color to CM 7.1. This did the trick for me.
Good luck!
Frank
Thank you Frank! I am going to finish up my current task then break out the Nook and cross my fingers that this will work! I will let you know!
I, too, am having problems
I don't mean to thread-jack, but I am also having problems with gapps.
Following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
The version of CM7 I placed on my card is "cm_encore_full-253.zip". The steps all the way through putting that on the card, putting that in the Nook, booting, it all worked fine. I DID notice the line that said something along the lines of looking for the gapps installation, not finding it, and skipping that step.
I downloaded the Gapps ("gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip") onto my computer. I shut off my NC, took out the SD card, and went to put it into my computer. Lo and behold, my computer can't read the SD card. It tells me it needs to be formatted before it can be used.
Uh. How am I supposed to get anything on the sd card?! I can't even format it to start over - Windows fails to format it.
I tried plugging in my NC to my computer - I at least got the CM7SDCARD to open, but it doesn't appear to be everything (there's no "boot" folder there). I tried moving the zip file to just the main directory of what I saw, and booted into recovery mode, but nothing happened.
Any assistance would be appreciated!

Look at my post here. It tells you how to make the boot partition show up in your system. In your case download the rar rev 1 and follow the directions (per edit 2) on how to manually put the file on your system.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22858059
Edit: You sound like a newby, so in order to do this you need the program "root explorer" which you buy on the market. Very useful program for later use too.
If you don't feel like trying this, get a different card reader or computer to see if that helps reading the card.
Edit 2: Also look here for a more recent nightly that has a few bugs fixed. It was built in January and 253 was in November.

Created a new thread to save you some effort
MUST be on JB 4.1.2 or earlier and rooted, if not
You can get JB 4.1.2 from Telstra, look in Android development and flash it via RSD Lite, You must have an alternative input method (I use gmd gesture control), not free but do not consume any screen space; Now add to the buil.prop at the end (qemu.hw.mainkeys=1) and U will have the status bar but not the navbar and no fc.
I have some issues with menu action (auto hiddes and must retry), solved with cm 10 instead of Telstra ROM, little more batt consumption and no blutooth music at the moment.
UPDATE: No need to use another ROM, In Telstra ROM go to config in Your phone, developer options, and check "Disable HW overlays", Ready!
You can use other ROM (4.1.2+) if U want, I like Telstra Rom cause it have good battery and all features in your cell phone works.
Can you expand on what issues you had after making the edit in rsd lite?
Edit: pls disregard. My tired morning brain was thinking SQL lite.

Yes look good, but I like GMD gesture control because you can use gestures like an iPad or iPhone, no need to a NavBar tu pop up touching some place in the screen, well the matter is we have options
It's not a good thing to do. Next day one, you miss the bar.

Now that 4.1.2 is widely available to Verizon users of Razr HD in the US can anyone confirm that you can simply upgrade to 4.1.2 (retaining root), add qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to build.prop, and then have the Navigation Bar GO, the System Bar STAY, and no FCs? Because that would seem to be a straight-forward solution to what should be an easy problem to solve. I know this solution CAN work because I did exactly this to my Nexus 7. It removed the NavBar (and kept the System Bar), extended the wallpaper to full screen and resized all the icons. I have never had a Force Close. Every app sizes correctly. I use Button Savior to put exactly the function buttons I want in the order I want them right where I want them on screen (normally right under my thumb). Works flawlessly on the Nexus 7. Hope with 4.1.2 it'll become easy to install on Razr Maxx HD.

Now that Root is available for 4.1.2, I tried this out and it worked.
You have to do the following:
1) Make sure to install LMT or PIE control
2) Make sure to install LMT or PIE control
3) edit build prop file qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
4) reboot
5) edit build prop file qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
6) reboot
You shouldn't get force closes. I'm on stock 4.1.2 rooted
Are you urging the installation of LMT or PIE because one of them is specifically necessary for this remedy to work or because you have to have SOMETHING to navigate with if you remove NavBar? As I said in the original post, I prefer Button Savior, which works fine on my Nexus 7. Would using Button Savior instead of LMT or PIE change the result of the mod?

Nope. I was only aware of LMT and PIE control as a replacement. I'll check out Button Savior.
To my great frustration, this method did NOT work for me. Getting rid of NavBar while keeping System Bar on my Razr Maxx HD is a near obsession with me at this point. Because I was on a leaked version of 4.1.1 and couldn't upgrade to 4.1.2 I used the incredible information available on XDA (thanks to all) to downgrade to 4.0.4, update the version of 4.0.4, update to 4.1.1 and then update to 4.1.2. I used the VZ OTA updates for every upgrade step. Every step proceeded without error. Once I was on 4.1.2 I used the new root for 4.1.2 to establish root, which also went smoothly. Then I followed the directions in the earlier post -- I installed Button Savior so I'd have an alternate means of navigation, installed Root Explorer, edited build.prop to add a new line reading "qemu.hk.mainkeys=0", rebooted, edited that line to read "qemu.hk.mainkeys=1" (no quotes in either case), rebooted. It should have worked. IT DIDN'T! My NavBar is gone, which is good. My System Bar is gone, which is bad. And I still get "SystemUI has crashed"-type errors. After all these steps that's the same result I was getting on a leaked, rooted version of 4.1.1. I'd love to finally get this right. How?

That's not how the edit goes.
Its
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
Not hk
Replace it. That may be what is messing your phone.
I have my navigation bar hidden and im using pie control which i like more than button savior.

Unfortunately, while I typed the edit wrong in my post I typed it CORRECTLY in my build.prop edit. So, that's not the problem, evidently. Thanks for the great catch though!

I am having same issues with my Razr HD. Mine is new which came with 4.1.2 already but I have rooted with the new method, have safestrap installed, all root apps work, root is solid. I followed these steps to a T:
1) Make sure to install LMT or PIE control (** I installed PIE, got it working)
2) Make sure to install LMT or PIE control
3) edit build prop file qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
4) reboot
5) edit build prop file qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
6) reboot
When it says "reboot" I just do a shutdown, wait 10 secs, then power back up (the Razr HD doesn't have reboot option when you press hold the power, only airplane mode and shutdown). I assume that is fine, but tell me if I need to be doing one of those soft resets (i.e. Vol down + power).
System UI FC's after it is set to =1. Not sure why. I have added the line above to the end of the build.prop file (in /system). Does it need to be at the top??
Also, wonder if the launcher has anything to do with it. I am on GO Launcher. I say this since the GO Launcher menu (swiping up on home screen) shows up just below the edge of my wallpaper but behind the wallpaper (so I only see a little bit of the menu then it disappears behind the wallpaper). I can still swipe up to pull a functioning menu in foreground, but this seems odd to me. Anyone else on GO Launcher getting this to work?
Would really love to claim the screen real estate the Nav bar takes up. I can't really understand by Moto/Verizon did this. They say the screen is 4.7, but with the Nav I bet you only have 4.5 or so....
UPDATE: I tried it with Apex Launcher and got same problems. I heard from someone else saying they also have issue on Nova Pro. So it appears not to be linked to launcher being used. I hope something can be found to make this work, having that extra room is SO nice

@india23... can you please enlighten us on the setup of your phone so we can try and understand why this is not working for many others on stock rooted 4.1.2?
- Do you have stock 4.1.2 received from OTA updated and then rooted with motochopper? If not, what do you have?
- What root explorer tool did you use to make edit?
- How did you edit the file, where did you place the new line, any spaces or empty rows before or after that line, etc
- what launcher are you using?
- what are the permissions on your build.prop file?
- anything else you think can help.
There are a number of us on stock OTA 4.1.2 that is rooted and this option doesn't work. It removed BOTH Nav and Status bar, AND there are System UI FC's. Many are saying this is not doable on Stock ROM but you are saying it works for you, so just need to try and understand how and why.
Thanks

I am using the Rogers XT925 version. It is running Stock 4.1.2 and has been rooted using Dan R's motochopper tool.
I used build prop editor from the play store to add the "qemu.hw.mainkeys" property:

I am using apex launhcer.
Hope this answers your questions. If not, I can clarify as needed.
Thanks.
