A couple questions PA 2.99 1-14-13 - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Only a minor annoyance, but is there any way to hide the side marker hints on the lock screen?
Also.. Color profiles. It seems the 3 kernels I have flashed, franko, lk, and m-kernel don't provide an option to tune color profiles using Trickster Mod. Am I missing something? Or?

Interesting on the color profiles.. As far as the markers go. I'm talking about the initial display after unlock, lasts maybe a few seconds and goes away too quickly to get a screen cap. They're on either side of the screen to inform you that you can swipe to alternate screens. Iirc there was an option to disable them in PrimeDirectives rom PRIME.
Edit: Added photo.
This displays for a few seconds then quickly fades. Not extremely important, but an annoyance no less.

I disabled those squares via an app "Lockscreen Policy" in the store.

I looked into that. Unfortunately it looses the squares as well as lock screen widgets, which I would like to keep. Seems a bit redundant that they're shown at every unlock.

App like Smaberg's 12 button action screen but with color icons?

Does anyone know how to get color icons? I have been experimenting with my new TP2 and some combination of installs gave me color icons, but I had to do a hard reset and now I can't get them back.
Anyone?
Edit: And I don't mean the 18 button app found here
I think that I had Smaberg's installed, then some other app overwrote his icons with colored ones.
This is different from what I had (the one that I had was identical to Smaberg's but in color), but it will do:

Maybe you could post a link to the 12 buttons app you want with the actions/apps you want?
You could edit only 1 background file & use the customs icons you want like I did here: Tweak: Custom Action Screen Icons in Color. Follow the link in that post for an other version as well as how to change the buttons programs/toggle actions.

Red Status Bar Battery Icon?

Hey all, I'm having a bit of a problem finding something I thought would be really easy to find

}
See how in the screen shot in the top left side of my status bar there is a red battery icon? I need an app that does just that. It needs to display a RED battery icon (that isn't really tiny) and preferably looks very close to those one or gives me some kind of variety
I've been looking for something like this, a simple red batter notification icon, for about a month with only the one result that I'm using now. What I'm using now is called "Simple Battery Widget" the problem with it is every 5-20 minutes it pops up with a "Simple Battery has crash blah blah" which is really annoying then it stops showing the correct battery level... So I'm getting tired of it that's why I'm asking you guys if you know of an app that will get me what I want...
Alternately, if there is a way to get red text up there I'd like that much more

I know some roms are able to change the colors but not an application.

[APP/Launcher] Apex Launcher Widgets

Good afternoon XDA,
My issue is the following. I love Apex and I love working with it but I have several widgets (including my mails and N7player etc..) and every now and again they resize to way outside the current screen.
Is this a known issue and anyone have any idea how to permanently fix it?
PS: I have found a way to temporarily fix it which is holding tap on the widget so that "remove" / "resize" / "app info" & "share" become visible. When I release the widget takes his pre-defined size again and it's all fine (temporarily that is...)

Thanks for the reply. I searched all over the Nexus 4 forums and didn't find it so I posted this because it could be some Nexus 4 issue or whatnot.
Noticed that it was in the android where Apex has posted (durr )
I have posted this in their official topic too. See if I get any valuable responses,
It's a very weird workaround apparantly.
1) Change your home screen to 10x10
2) Then place the widgets on there (without resizing). Preferably put em in the top left corner else they won't be counted in the next action.
3) change home screen to 5x4 (or whatever prefered)
4) resize widgets, they now stick.... weird shizzle :/ (well I hope this works, used to be 5times+ per day, if it lasts a day it's "fixed" )

If prefered this topic can be deleted or locked or marked fixed of course.

Blurry status bar notification icons

The top of my phone just started doing this. I've provided a before and after for reference. The icons are only blurry on the home screen. Tried reverting to stock launcher with no luck. I was recently installing some new apps but nothing that has anything to do with effecting the appearance or notifications. Has anyone seen this before? I have to think it's a software issue rather than hardware.

I don't think this helps you, but maybe it'll help those you can try helping you.
It looks to me like the far left icons (notifications) are pretty much fine, as well as the bluetooth icon. That's really strange.
Also, in order for others to help you better, what is your phone model and rom? Rooted?
Edit: Oh, and that's definitely software, not hardware.

I think its not blurry..
If you focuse looking on it..
You see that some icons are merge.
Maybe you install something that can affect your status bar..

Note 4 Display turns on by itself or minimal touches

Hello, friends of the Note 4.
Im note sure if i am right here to ask about a specific problem.
Like i mentioned in the headline, the display of my phone turns on by minimal touches it seems, for example if i take the phone in my hand but not puch any button. Can be that it also turns on without toches, im not so sure.
The effect is hardly reproducable though, by handling the phone rougher just to see if the display turns on. Not sure.
Im a little stumped by this problem, since it didnt changed by flashing another rom. Im a little afraid that it could be a hardware problem... Hope not.
Do you have any advice for me what to try or in what direction to look for a solution?
Thanks!
Quick Glance on for some reason? LOL!

What even is Quick Glance? I use a Note 7 rom, by the way... Just truned off smart stay. It will take time to see if it solved the problem.
I think this problem is related to the apps that can appear on top like pie control, drup or any other 3rd party apps. So try to disable them one by and see which app is causing this problem. Cheers
