We have just released a new application in the market called BarTender:
The application can be found in the category Tools.
Description:
Transform your notification bar into a complete menu!
BarTender allows you to easily add shortcuts and folders onto the notification bar. This way your favorite contacts, applications and other available shortcuts are always easy to access no matter what application you are in.
Let me know if you like it or if you have any requests / bug reports!
Going to check this out right now

Hmm you should do the same thing that the guy that made SetCPU where he posted a free version on XDA and put the donate on the market lol because some of us are too poor ^^
I've been looking for this kind of app for ages now -.- lol
There is now also a lite version available for people to see if they like it.
For folder support and upcoming features you will still have to get the full version, but i think this will give a good idea how the product works.

The Lite version appears to work great, but from what I can tell, it really drains the battery. Is this an isolated incident to me?
It shouldnt drain any battery because all it does is add the notifications and stops itself until you save again ( then it re-adds the newly configured ones ).

You're right. It was isolated to me. But thanks for the explanation...that's pretty cool how it works. I thought it was like running in the background or something.
Koush posted a new thread with the release of CM6 RC3 and this one will no longer be maintained.
Thanks to everyone for their testing and bug reports!

Quick question regarding the facebook sync. By reading your summary of the facebook, i wonder if i have a different issue. When i go to accounts and sync, when i click add then facebook. It just goes back to accounts page. Does not even let me enter facebook information. However i am able to use the facebook app.
Is this the bug your referring to, or am i experiencing something different?

Ok, thanks for clarifying. In your summary might want to put something regarding "Unable to add to accounts & sync" , just for others that might be curious.
Wireless tethering worked for me, i just installed the one provided in the 10minute root video again after CM6 was installed. Then tested it and it worked fine. I also have Hydra Rom for stock speed undervoted with wireless N. Noticed when i did tethering it only connected to my laptop in G mode, however i am able to connect to my router in strictly wireless N broadcast.
Had this problem last night which forced me to revert back to stock firmware.
I plugged in my phone to charge at 11 PM. Then at 12.30 ish AM, i heard my phone vibrating. I looked and it rebooted. So i let it be, then few minutes later I heard it again. Then I decided to revert back to Stock.
Thinking that it was maybe caused when charging the battery. That the batt got 100% then rebooted? Not quite sure.
I can test again if needed.
Good idea.
Thanks!
You are most welcome!
Thank You very much
what time is the nightly build and what time standard/zone?
i would love to try this but cant without bluetooth and am hoping it makes it into the next build. in my state they are cracking down on using your cell phone without a handsfree and giving big tickets to make up for budget shortfalls. so i need bluetooth. (i am too deaf for speakerphone, especially on the incredible, its not that loud)
i am excited, especially now i am 90% sure i am keeping the DINC now that the DX is officially going to be a ***** to root and no roms looks likely. and i dont know why blogs that pimp the phone keep saying "root is still inevitable" but i dont agree with that, if you cant get into the boot loader we would have never rooted the incredible and it only makes sense motorola has locked down the backflip root methods and made sure rooting will also be hard.
i just really want a bigger screen and a fast gpu, other than that, the DINC is the best.
cray1000, I edited the OP to answer your question on the build times.
You guys are all VERY welcome! I'm glad I can help make any of this easier. I can't develop (yet ) So this is my contribution for the many things I get from XDA, Koush and the other developers!

thanks man! keep up the good work!
and nice, based on your answer on the first post, we have a new build as of a couple hours ago, anyone running it yet? anyone have a revised bug list? should we discuss that here or in the other thread?
It would appear that the incredible has been removed from the buildbot cycle as of the latest build. A version was built today (check the dates) but looking here: http://buildbot.teamdouche.net/tgrid it's no longer listed
I hit check for update on the rom in Rom Manager, but it didnt say there was new rom. The last one under nightly builds in rom manager still has same time stamp as one i got last night.

if you clear download cache and redownload it should be newer, someone posted the repo and it clearly showed a date and time of today even though the file name still said 7-8 or 7-9 on it the time and date were 7-10 unless it was mirrored then or osmething.

The filename doesn't change. Just clear the download cache in ROM manager and then choose download ROM, reinstall as usual. I guarantee its a different file. Updating OP with what my current build version shows.
Sometimes download of apps in market just stalls.
Some apps fail to install. (android-vnc)
Sometimes screen doesn't register touches until rotated.

Deleted the CM6 zip file from the sd card, then redownloaded the nightly build. Installed and noticed the rom version now has 7/11 as the date instead of the zip files number. So thats good. I see you crossed out the green light while charging bug. Thats only difference i have noticed thats been fixed.
I really hope they are concentrating on Facebook, Camera, GPS bug the most. Thats the biggest deal breaker for most i know.
What's the difference between CM 6.1 RC and the actual release?
(The official changelog has zero indication of the changes between these, which is why I'm asking.)
Is it worth upgrading? I've been running 6.1 RC for weeks now with no issues.
I've yet to find anything noticeable.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I'm not sure, but I think the notification power widget, lock screen gestures and 2 extra sliders on the lockscreen for messaging and phone came with rc2, so, if those are interesting, it may be worth an update.
I don't use any of those but I'm staying on rc2 because it only came out 9 days ago so there's probably not much change between it and the release.

No issues on my end either with rc2. I have read though that others are reporting fixes with issues they were having. Guess its just dependant on how you use your phone. I upgraded to the stable version myslef.
good question. I have asked this myself too , as the change logs are the same. I suppose noone can be bothered doing a write up every time and i cant say i blame them. Personally id rather see RC's and bugfixes than changelogs if i had to pick one or the other.
Documentation is a huge time consumer, and for talented coders, its a explanation for the layman rather than more progress.
Maybe you could volunteer as the cm scribe.
From what I can tell, there is some added functionality with the lockscreen. From RC2 to stable: I believe you can now pick the application that the messaging slider opens. Also, maybe disable the sliders all together? Change the color of the gesture trace
I assume you have spent some time on a theme that won't survive an update? It doesn't take but a couple minutes to flash the stable version, no wipe/restore/etc needed.. no real costs to upgrade

Well from RC to RC or from RC to stable release, I'd figure that SOME type of indication as to what happened would be useful since every single person that downloads CyanogenMod will be wondering this question.
5 minutes by 1 person could save thousands of minutes of others wondering / asking / creating new threads (like the one).
Documentation is always worth it (and I'm a programmer).

I have the notifications widgets, and I use a lockscreen replacement (WidgetLocker) so I guess I'd never see those new lockscreen features.
Are those the only changes?
I've had my phone rooted and had CM7 on my phone for about a week now and I've been scouring the vast corners of the web trying to find any mod that would allow me to make my battery in the status bar show increments as low as 1% and thus far I haven't been able to find anythin (major reason for posting).
Another question I have is what types of mods/apps/addons should I look out for as obviously I'm a huge n00b when it comes to dealing with my newly rooted device and my new rom.
Any help on either of these questions would be greatly appreciated

CM7 already has 1% battery steps incorporated. Check Settings->Cyanogenmod Extras->UI Settings->Status Bar.
You should have an option to show battery %'s.
I've seen that on a lot of posts that I've looked over, the only problem is I've done that. I've checked the box that says "show percentage" but it only shows in increments of 10% (until it hits 20% then its increments of 5%). Could it be something in a newer version of CM7? Could you, or anyone post a link to a download of the newest CM7
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
i think the 1% battery steps is only available in nadlabak's milestone version of cyanogen mod, rather than in the droid version off the official cyanogen mod site.
you can try checking the official cyanogenmod site, but i'm not sure its available there
What's the big difference between the milestone and the droid? They're both in this section so they have to be similar in a number of ways. Would it be safe to use the milestone version on my droid?

No, it wouldn't. The builds are completely different and flashing a Milestone ROM on your Droid would just be a bunch of trouble.
So is there any way I can flash a rom or anything to give me battery increments of 1% in my status bar?
Also, still holding out on any apps/mods/addons that I should be looking for.
Links to help on either of these would be incredibly helpful

here is how in milestone 1% was achieved. i have no idea if it will help you.

Well, at least that gave me hope lol. Now all I need is someone who knows what they're doing to help me write the scripts and find out if it can be done. Again, I'm a noob to this whole root thing and I have no sort of computer degree or any experience with internal programming of anything electronic.
Btw, thank you all for trying to help on this, maybe if we can figure it out I could get the fat cut out of the thread by a mod and renamed to something that resembles what I'm actually trying to do

Not that I know of. The highest overclock I've seen for the droid 1 is 900 MHZ and I think that was with Motomizer (not 100% on this). I found it on the app store.

Sorry for the double post but the thread hasn't seen any action in 24 hours. I'm still looking around for apps and stuff, but I haven't been able to find anything I really understand or have a use for. There are still no updates on the 1% increments situation and I'm still striving hard to find it. I'm also still looking for someone to help me understand what I'm doing with the whole script writing thing.
Also, I had a problem with Go SMS Pro on CM7 (both 7 and 7.1) with not receiving messages every once in a while and I couldn't get the LED notification to work with it no matter what type of settings I went in to to change the LED. Has anyone else had this problem or know any reasons why this could be happening?
EDIT: Looked over the post for the Millestone again and noticed that there's nothing in the droid called /sys/class/power_supply/battery/charge_counter. When I tried to creat a folder for it (literally using my phone due to computer problems) I was given an error message saying it could not be created. This is probably the thing I want most for my droid beings I won't be able to upgrade to a newer phone until I get some serious money together. This seems to be a fairly popular subject on other sites and for other phones, but all I've ever seen positive about it was "(someone)'s working on it but they're too wrapped up in (project) right now." This can't be all that hard to figure out, if the Milestone could get it, we should be able to get it too.

for the gosms issue, try editing /system/build.prop
theres a line there which says sys.keep_app_1=
if you put com.jb.gosms after the equals sign, it'll force gosms to stay in memory. that fixed the problem i had with my milestone not notifying me of messages. if your just not getting sms's, rather than not getting notifications you can lock the stock sms app in memory, either through settings - cyanogenmod settings - performance - lock messaging app in memory, or through the same process as with go sms. (i dont have a droid, so it's only an assumption that these features are present in the droid version and not something nadlabak added in his milestone version)
i have managed to get the 1% battery steps working in a milestone rom that doesnt support it through some fairly dodgy hacking, and it may be possible to use the same method to get it working on the droid through the same way. i'll have a look at the source for cyanogen mod to see how different the milestone version is, and i'll get back to you on whether its possible... although it might be simpler just to pull down the droid cm7 sources and modify it that way. either way, i'll have a look and get back to you

I looked in system/build.prop, but I couldn't find any line anything similar to what you told me to look for, so I couldn't edit that. CM7 for droid does in fact have the ability to lock messaging in memory, I had no idea what that would do so I had left it unchecked.

Oh and mastur, as far as available kernels for your droid, there are Plenty. I've seen kernels for the Droid up to 1300 mhz. I personally would never run anything That high on my phone as with the Droid, once you go past 800 the phone tends to become a hand warmer. I run chevyno1's 1000 low voltage kernel. Peter alfonso has some great kernels, and so does jdlfg. All kernels you can find on clockwork mod. Clockwork mod you can find on the market and is a GREAT tool for downloading, flashing, and even backing up ROMs or kernels. Feel free to PM me with any questions man.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
sometimes if your phone has low amounts of free ram left, it will kill off the messaging app, and you wont receive messages. by locking it in memory, it prevents this from happening.
i had a look at the source for cm7, and there was a change made on the 5th of july that will allow users to set whether they want to use charge_counter, which reports in 1% steps, or capacity, which reports in the 10% steps. I honestly have no idea why no droid devs have changed to reporting in 1% steps yet...
I assume that if you use a fairly recent build, the possibility to get 1% steps exists. Unfortunately there's no way of knowing for sure whether it's implemented in your build unless you try it. If you're using a nightly build im almost certain it'll be able to work.
in the comments in the source, it says they're using ro.product.use_charge_counter in build.prop to decide which capacity file to use.
so, to test if you can get 1% steps to work, follow these steps:
first, make sure you do a backup of your phone.
1. edit /system/build.prop and add the line ro.product.use_charge_counter=1 (if the line already exists, just make it =1)
2. replace /system/bin/battd with the one in the zip i've attached. you'll want to backup your old one as well
3. reboot
if you need further explanation of those steps, i'll be glad to explain them a bit more clearly for you.
to see if this has worked, you'll need some sort of widget which reports on how much battery you have left (eg battery monitor, batt stats etc etc). If it's worked you'll see 1% steps. if it hasn't you'll probably still see 5% steps. the reason for this is that the battery icon in you status bar doesnt have the required images to show 1% steps, so it'll keep showing the 10% steps. theres probably an explanation on how to fix this somewhere in the 1% steps thread in the milestone forum
now, as always there is a degree of risk when trying anything like this (especially as i have no way of testing it, as i have a milestone, not a droid). I just tested my phone with no battd file at all, and it was still able to boot and run fine, it just permanently said my phone was at 100%
The worst possible result from attempting this is that your phone will report your phone is at 0% and unless you have a charger connected, it will shut down immediately after you reboot. to fix this, connect your phone to a charger, and either restore your complete backup, or replace /system/bin/battd with your original one.
If your phone still reports 10% steps, you'll also want to restore your backup. the battd file i've provided is the one used in milestone roms, which comes from the droid2, and it can be a bit picky about non-genuine batteries.
Wow, thank you for that in depth run down on how to attempt to present 1% steps. The only problem is when I try to edit/save/delete/replace battd, it gives me an error report and says something about how editing/saving/deleting/replacing failed. Ill try editing it again and show an 'EDIT' at the bottom of this post with the error message
EDIT - The error message says "could not (save/delete/move) file"
I'm getting errors with no matter what I try to remove or save. Is there something I need to install or check for? Its like rooting my phone only allowed me to download and load roms

are you using adb or terminal emulator?
if you're using adb, get android terminal emulator from the market it's a bit easier to use.
it sounds like the system partition is still read only.
open up terminal emulator, then run these commands. (the | character can be found by pressing shift alt and comma)
Code:
su
cat /proc/mounts | grep system
mine returns this, but yours may return any mtdblock number
Code:
/dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
then run
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
if you have the battd file in the root of your sdcard, you can then run this to copy it across:
Code:
cp -f /sdcard/battd /system/bin/
Well that was fun. Idk if I did something wrong or what, but now I can't boot into recovery, I can't do a factory reset and I can't install roms or anything I get from rom manager. If I try to boot into recovery the motorola M stays there extra long, then the phone resets and loads straight into cyanogenmod... really confused because I tried to re enter the commands and it keeps saying they're not found. Turns out I need a lot of help to fix this, I'm pretty much freaking out

Hi,
Today I installed Blackmart Alpha on my Nook, and I saw a updated version of Cool Reader (3.1.0-19), you can find it on here. However on Google Play, the newest version is 3.0.57-15, updated long time ago. Does anyone know what is it? I cant even find the devs web page, only the engine's sourceforge.
It has redesigned UI, better in my opinion, however I am unable to get into "Reader's Options", when activated (middle-screen press), in blinks black, and goes to books list. On my phone it shows options like search or open file. Anyone knows how to fix it?

Thre's only one thing missing in CoolReader - a good library (diffrent types of sorting and view, shelves, monitoring specific folders etc.). As far as I'm concerned, reading features and options are amazing!
