Hi all,
This might be a dumb question but I’ll give it a go anyway.
I'm running an AOKP nightly and under the AOKP ROM Control options<Statusbar<Signal<Wifi Signal Indicator Style there is an option to show the Signal as Text. You then get the Wifi signal displayed in your status bar as a percentage. Personally, this is perfect for me as I have a poor Wifi signal at work and its reassuring to see the strength of my connection at work.
Is there a way for me to get this same option in CM 10.1 or any other Custom ROM? If it is available in CM10.1 where do I enable it?
Alternatively, is there a standalone app that will allow my Wifi signal to be reflected as text/percentage in my Statusbar?
At the moment only Ican find this option in AOKP. Or am I looking in the worng place?

I am not sure if this would help you but you may give it a try.
download ROM toolbox.
now go to the status bar icons option.
now choose what icon you want for WiFi from the list.
if you are lucky then you may get one with percentage..
Hi dagger,
I tried your suggestion but unfortunately ROM Toolbox does not have the percentage or text option under the Wifi statusbar icons.
Bad luck for you...

Yes I know!
Oh well I will just stick with AOKP. Hopefully it will become available on CM 10.1.

Folks,
I rooted my Nexus 7 and it worked fine as it did before with my GNex and my Bravo.
After trying some custom ROMs I decided to stay with the latest Codename Android release.
But now I realize that the clock in the status bar doesn´t change/update the time.
If I change anything regarding the settings in Settings -> Interface I´ll get an time update, but then the clock always tells me the same time although the clock in the lock screen works fine.
Anybody with similar experience?
Cheers
Chris
Typical C.S. answer, but did you try and reboot?

That's weird. I am running CNA nightlies and have not incurred this problem.
Yes, I rebootet the hell out of the nexus
Unfortunately without effect. Well, I think I have to live with that as the ROM is perfect for me.
Have you tried switching launchers or themes?
Really, I don't get it .... Now it works without changing anything.
I have a self-healing ROM.
THX for your replies
Dear All,
I've been using android for a long time, also wrote few apps, nothing huge tho.
I recently swapped my beloved SGSII for Nexus 4 ... and one thing drives me nuts!
Its phone behaviour after incoming call ends. Why the hell Im being kicked back into phone activity, while it was not the place I've been before the call? Its irrational... And drives me crazy
Im doing something on my phone (lets say - gaming), and someone calls. I answer, we chat for a while. Call ends. Where am I redirected to?
THE DAMN PHONE DIALER! dafuq?....
Hah, but there is more (definitely some more of this, I'll go mad, and they will lock me up ,) ) - imagine what happens when you ride your bike, listen to music and then answer a call .)
Yes, you guessed right! Im being redirected back to phone activity WITH SCREEN UNLOCKED, even if it was locked and turned off before the call.
Thats what actually pushed me to write this topic - I called my coworker by mistake because of this today.
And here comes the big question:
Does anyone knows a ROM or modified phone.apk which would have this fixed/changed/worked around? I just want to get back to where I was before after a call ends....
Yep. AOKP ROM dialer has an option for that.

I'm on edge network right now so I can't up the apk... You can probably help yourself

Does every AOKP based rom has it? It looks like this might be just kind of ROM I'm looking for .)
Few more questions then:
1. Does it have option to show battery % in notification bar?
2. Option to show toggles (Wifi, bt, data,...) in notification bar? (like in cyanogen)

Yeah everything based on AOKP should have it.
1. Yes. In 3 different styles
2. Yes but the implementation differs a bit from cm. The 'tile' type of toggles become hidden once you've enabled the 'power toggles' in notification bar.
Try the latest milestone. It's epic.

I hate this "feature" too! Any ideas how to correct it on the stock 4.3 ROM? I'm rooted with custom recovery and franco kernel. Don't wanna flash a whole new rom just to fix this one issue though.
Maybe flashing the AOKP or CM10 dialer apk would dod the trick?

You don't like the Jelly Bean status bar and want to change it ? search for a Nexus flashable status bar, it may exist somewhere..
or u can use ROM Toolbox for it
I can't seem to find anything. Is there a mod out there that lets the GPS Icon show ONLY when the GPS is actively being used? I don't know if anyone is like me or not, but I like to leave GPS enabled for on demand usage, but I do NOT like having a all or nothing GPS icon. I like knowing when the GPS is active or not, but I don't want to stare at the bullseye icon 24/7.
Anyone know of such a mod? I was hoping it would be in G2 Xposed (I just tonight found that you can hide the 4G/3G notification when Wifi is active) but no such luck.
Mods, if this is the wrong section for this question, my apologies. I figured it was more of a Q&A item than a development item.

Tbh the icon doesn't appear in my notification bar when GPS is not in use...
It appears only if i use a programm which collects GPS data...
But i don't have stock ROM... I have the Worshiprom ROM which is stock based at all..

I fubar'd. I meant to take this down. I was confusing the E911 icon with the GPS Icon. I haven't seen an E911 Icon for two years now and it threw me.
As the title states, I've installed Screwd and I'm going for a red theme.. I've changed the clock and nav bar buttons via the ROM options, but there doesn't seem to be anything for the battery, WiFi signal, mobile signal and other potential icons which pop up.
Quite simply I'd like to edit them, an app would be preferable, I'm aware that I can edit some files to get the desired colours although I'd like to avoid that as its a bit of a ballache if you don't do that a lot..
Any ideas?
Thanks.
PS: I won't use xposed so that option is out.
Edit: just realised I hadn't put "Colours" I don't want to edit the image of the icons, just the colour.
Thanks again.
I'd check out layers.
However I use xposed for all theming needs. I would reconsider using it

Would layers be functional with a CM based ROM ? AFAIK screwd is CM based so not sure if this would work..will look into it cheers.
Edit: OK so as far as i can see, it is compatible but it doesn't alter the status bar icons..at least not on their own. Unless I'm not seeing something.
And no I wouldn't use xposed it murders battery life.
This is as far as I've got with it. ROM toolbox doesn't even have icons for cm13. So annoying.
Any other ideas
Anyone???
