So this has been an issue for me on and off for a long time and yet I rarely read about it.. so wondering whats up.
If I use Xposed/GravityBox to change my battery icon.. the new icon is always positioned "top-aligned" and never centered on the statusbar row.
I see tons and tons of pictures of other peoples home screens and nobody elses is like that.
Anyone have a clue whats up and how to fix it?
I'm running xdabbeb's rom at the moment.

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
I installed LauncherPro on my S7, but I would like to figure out how to change the notification bar to something more like the stock one. I like the way the notification bar works on my Epic 4G, but I haven't figured out how to do this on the S7.
Anyone know how to accomplish this?

check the bottom of the tutorial
Code your own rom for the S7.
The notification bar is the way it is and without re-writing the OS, you're not going to be able to change it.
I find that tapping to drop it down works better than sliding. It was really painful on my other resistive Android tablet.
I did follow the instructions from the post. My expectation of that was that I would have the normal notification bar. However, that isn't the case.
I'm not really into making a custom ROM for the notification bar. The funny thing is that now that I've used the stock notification bar, I'm getting used to it. The back button at the left side of the bar is actually pretty nice to use. As I'm an old Palm/Pocket PC/Windows Mobile guy, I like using a stylus and the back arrow is actually OK. I just think that the thing is too big.
Thanks,
Hi there,
Seeking some advice on a ROM. Hate the look of stock LG G2, just installed stock-like kitkat on my old GNex and saw the google experience launcher with transparent everything, DO WANT. However I'm afraid of losing some features of stock LG software. Maybe you guys can recommend some ROMs, or if it's best to stay stock to get all the features I want, recommend some mods that will give me all the ROM features I want?
Things I NEED
Knock On/ Knock Off (LG feature)
4.4 Stock "Look and Feel" (fonts, transparent bars all around, appearance of time and battery and notifications bar, black instead of white setting menu, etc, you get the picture)
Always listening on the home screen, possibly the lock-screen, pretty much anywhere I can have it all over the UI (as per 4.4, not LG)
Recent Apps button instead of a menu button (as per 4.4, not LG)
Open apps from the lockscreen with apps icons already visible when looking at lockscreen (not the style where you hold finger over lock icon to see a choice of apps in a circle, and then have to swipe a specific direction. I used to have that and didnt like it as much as I like LG stock way of actually showing icons without you touching anything, and you swipe the icons, not a lock towards the icons)
Circle battery type thing on status bar that shows percentage
Things I haven't tried/am not sure about but might want from stock LG software, and might not want to lose flashing to custom ROM
Better stock camera?
SmartShare from the gallery app? (says it uses wifi/bluetooth to stream content to other devices)
Beam/DNLA/I don't even remember what it's called or what app I found it in?
Quickremote
You tell me please? I'm sure there's a bunch of stuff I've yet to discover that I might want (are any of LG's apps e.g. notebook useful?)
Things that are cool but not really necessary
Themes and a ton of extra features -- used to use AOKP and they had a decent amount of extra feature, not too few like CM, not too many like other ROMs where my head just starts spinning from all the features
Other
I'd really prefer not to have to wipe all the time, CM's OTA update feature was awesssooome when I had CM on my GNex, but CM is a little feature-lite for me, I mean it was good though, that's just a minor complaint. But if there's something better fitting my criteria above I'll put up with having to wipe to flash updates of the same ROM in the future if its necessary. I just never understood why OEMs can push OTAs to people and never make them wipe, but for custom ROMs (updating new versions of same ROM) I have to re-set-up everything every time
A lot of this stuff has been addressed already. Most ROMs have knock on built in, but not knock off. The work around is downloading an app that turns the screen off, and using a gesture control in another app (such as Nova Launcher) to double tap the home screen to turn the screen off. Though personally, I just have screen off set to my nav ring so I can access it from any page I'm on.
There's a flashable install here on the forums some where for Quick Remote. Works fine on AOSP ROMs.
As for 4.4 stuff, I have no idea.

How did you do that? I nowhere find a setting to change anything in the navigation ring.

So as you guys must already be knowing, Gravity box on Moto E works only partially and only for a few things. (Maybe because it's dual sim? idk.)
In any case, I've been searching for a way to position the clock on my status bar in the center and change the battery icon ever since I got the phone. I looked around everywhere, searched every corner of the internet, even asked a few people on here to edit systemUI and get it done for me. Nothing. Tried so many different modules and none of them could help me enable center clock or change battery icon.
Until today.
I came across this brilliant module that not only changes battery icon and enables center clock it also makes the notification bar look like the one in iOS which I'm a huge fan of. (Not the OS ofcourse. Android ftw. Just the aesthetics. I love the blurry look of the recent tasks bar and the notification bar.)
Anyhoo, I thought there might be people like me searching for something like this and so I thought I'd just share it here.

Without using any app.
Is there a native way to accomplish this mod, seem to remember this being fairly common in the days before xposed etc. While I have gotten the percent to show, it appears next to the batt icon.
I am not looking for apps or ways of accomplishing this via things from the play store, so please do not suggest them.
EDIT: to be clear i am not looking for the current way OOS places the percent in the statusbar. I am looking for a way to have the percent WITHIN the battery icon.
I have figured it out using Minit as suggested in this thread, but looking for a cleaner way since Minit is not as nice as the stock icons + only skins after boot completes.
Only way i know of in OOS is with 3minit battery mod
Settings > Status Bar > "Show Battery Percentage"?

Was also looking for it, but there is no stock option that would achieve that (I am aware of).

He wants to have the battery percentage inside the battery icon. Your solution just puts it next to the icon.

That is correct, I have percent enabled right now, but its such a waste of real estate in the statusbar.

I will look into 3minit, have you been successful in getting this running on your OP5?
Wow, that was pretty easy... Got 3minit running well. Some small padding issues in the statusbar... anyone know what may be causing. It appears the stock OOS battery icons didnt hide/change to 0.0dip, I hid them with the stock functionality.
Issue is the 3minit battery icon is a little too close to the clock....
thoughts?
Here is s a screenshot of how it currently looks, would like some advice how to fix that slight padding issue next to the clock

I have an OP3 but sucessfull used it, yes. Its working on all devices afaik. You just need to do some editing in your OPSystemUI.apk. everything else is explained in the main 3minit thread. If you need help editing the xml file the correct way, you can pm me, i still have example xml from OP3, should be the same as OP5.
Edit: nevermind, you already got it working. The icon being too close to the clock is something i also noticed. You cant change that, except trying out other icons.
You can just switch off the battery icon and display text only, I never understood the icon anyway, not accurate at all.

I kind of guessed that but since the OP didn't make that clear... :silly:

I like the icon + text. Would actually be fine with just text, but dont want the '%' label...
hmm, wonder where that info is stored
