Porting Behold II Notification Bar? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anybody think that its possible to port the Behold II Notification bar? I think that the added settings are pretty awesome and convenient. Think if you walk outside, you can quickly change the brightness, or if you are on the internet then you can quickly turn wifi on. This would take away the need to go back home and use the power control widget all together.
Here is a video review of the Behold2. The notification bar is shown just before 4:45:

and here is a mirror
I would do this myself but I dunno how... I just now figured out I can sign my own apk's lol....

It is possible. But it would take a bit of tweaking in the framework.
I think that it's being implemented in the MyTouch Slide as well.
But thanks for using that video as an example. I now know that I would be very unpleased with the OS and the device itself. I would NOT even take that as a free upgrade. Very disappointed.

I know I need to change something in the framework but I have no idea how to de-odex the files=p.
And what would you expect with that phone? It's feature phone software pushed onto android lol... But the camara and notification bar are the only things I think are worth it (maybe music).

RevoltRom 1.4 Findings

I've been using Revolt since 1.1 and have to say its been a fairly decent setup and the upgrades have been seamless, but I have a few concerns since 1.3 and things seem to be worse in 1.4.
1.3 issues
FC car home on startup
FC in Google Navigation when Speak Destination is selected (Fixed in 1.4)
FC when trying to access voice mail from Dial Pad
1.4 issues
FC car home on startup
FC when trying to access voice mail from Dial Pad
Ringtones\Notifications have double entries in selection menu (lost all my good ones from 1.3 too!)
Black background on text messages? (I dont mind it but its not consistent with any other menus that all have white)
I'd like to see these addressed or any suggestions if its just me with some of these problems. Overall this is THE rom to have for the phone, I have no problems with 3G delay or bloat/slowness like the factory rom and my phone never reboots or locks up.. just want to say keep up the good work and hope this helps make future roms better!
Hey thanks for the comments! Couple things, quick and easy fix for you for the voice mail button is to a) do as I do and long press
1 (hence the reason I didn't know there was a problem lol) or b) in the op of revolt is the Verizon visual voice mail app, download and install zip in cwm and you will be good to go with the button. Second, the fc on boot for car home is a battle. Lg has made it difficult on this one and so has google. It has been the death of me and I know majorpay has put in a load of work to get it running also, and everytime we think it is fixed it will work sometimes and not others. It is annoying I know but we are trying. The black and green mms is from a request and a port from my old theme for decrap. I am working on porting more apps as I go. The ringtones is coming from somewhere else. I had the same problem where I had downloaded and extracted a rom on my sdcard and it was pulling the doubles from there. Once I deleted that, no more doubles.
I am glad you like it! It is a work in progress and as time goes I will continue to try to make it better!

Thanks for the reply, honestly the FC on car home doesnt bother me nor do I use it so no worries... thanks for the VM tip! that will really fix my only real battle with the Rom at the moment the rest I can live with!
Keep up the good work

The lock screen is a known problem for the charging status with the aosp lockscreen. I had basically rewritten the smali code for the lock screen to mimic that of the nexus one, and it still did not work. There were complaints of not being able to tell what the charge status was without going into the about menu, so I recoded the charging xml to show battery level. While charging, the led will be green if over 10% and red if under. That way you know if it is charging or not.

Ok great, also to though the battery in the status bar does not change to a charge indicator like it used to. It just stays on the battery percentage.

Right I changed it to that so you know where you stand percentage wise while charging since it doesn't show on the lock screen.

I'd hate to hijack, but on a somewhat related note of Revolt 1.4 findings I noticed when going to attach multimedia to a text message, at least using the stock messaging app, the text is invisible. I'd noticed this back with the RevoBread theme as well. Not too much of an issue just a slight inconvenience but easy enough to navigate past. Thanks for the hard work on the ROM mt!

If you click and drag you can see what the option is without clicking it. Same thing for when you type a name into the top bar to add who you want to send a message to. I use it as a temp fix until mt fixes it.

Notification Toggles?

Just wondering, in the video reviews, I've noticed that there aren't any notification toggles. Is it possible to have them without having to root the phone? And please don't mention home screen toggles, I like to keep my home screens clean and not cluttered with toggles.

Yes, it is possible! I use an app called "Settings Extended" to do just that
Oh ok thats nice. Out of all the reviews I've been watching, not one highlighted "Settings Extended" and that kind of made me worried. Are there any reviews out there that goes through everything in the software? Because I would like an in-depth look into the phone.

Απ: Notification Toggles?
I hope the toggles will come back in 4.2 update just like Google added them. It's weird they removed them from sense anyway.
Thats what I'm hoping for if they do ever plan to release 4.2.2! Or at least in key lime pie.
It would also be awesome if they incorperated something like samsung has done with the notification bar brightness toggle. Where all you would have to do is drag the top part of the notification bar and you can adjust the brightness to anything you like. Because I hate using the automatic brightness adjustment since it drains the battery like crazy.

Immersive mode

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has found a way to get full immersive mode.
I know you can hide the navbar but I'd love to hide the status bar as well and make it so that apps go around the camera hole.
I don't want to hide the hole but want to put the whole screen up so that I don't see in every app the time and all the status bar icons. Thanks a lot!
I want that too, but apparently no app is able to do that on my Galaxy S10. Hope to see that feature available soon!

Does it work with apps as well? I guess this is not that doable since I'd be probably missing some buttons that are over there...

Yes, of course
Please send immersive mode requests to Samsung via feedback, or by emailing them. Right now the adb commands create annoying black bars instead of extending the screen.
I currently don't have my S10 yet, but use 'SystemUI Tuner' on my OnePlus 6 to do immersive mode.
Doesn't work with s10 it appears a black bar...

Technically you could remove the black back by going into Settings>Display>Full Screen apps and selecting all to be full screen instead of auto. However this makes removing the status bar useless since even though you don't get the black bar you still do get a bar that's the color of the app. Green for whatsapp for instance. So you're not actually getting any more screen real estate, just hiding the status bar which I find it easier to do through adb instead of any other app which requires you to give more permissions hence to type more in the terminal.
I'm looking for a way to hide the status bar and have the screen go up and around the camera cutout, just like it works on any other phone which doesn't have a camera cutout

I'm afraid not, still looking. I tried several apps and adb. Even wscan command on adb which was something I used to shift the screen down to hide the navbar before pie. Nothing seems to work

Strange because apps can go full screen, like Netflix and YouTube Vanced. Just that stubborn black shaded status bar won't shift.

Yeah that's the same thing I thought of. I guess on apps you would lose some keys for instance on WhatsApp the ability to make calls... But I still would want to hide the status bar
Samsung makes these awesome panels but makes its almost impossible to remove the static elements opening us up to burn in. Toss us a bone Samsung or use a different display tech!

I opened myself 2 threads about this on xda and one on reddit XD this is soooooooo important to me but no one seems to really care about it much! no one could help how can it be, that folks buy a S10 because of it's infinity display which has very little top and side bezels but are completely fine with a huuuuuuuge statusbar that's just a software bezel because of the bad software.... don't get me started about the possible burn in issues or uneven wear.
the usual adb command don't work
Sammy's own settings in the settings app where you can choose between automatic and fullscreen does nothing
the only thing that worked for me was app cloner so far. I cloned apple music, relay, spotify and tumblr and the difference that it makes is soooo huge!!!! Sammy has to do something about this. Getting all that space back, seeing the content scroll behind and around the punch hole and up to the frame which let's you notice how thin the top bezel really is.... yes on most apps some element get's get blocked by the punch hole, but if you are familiar with the app and know that there is something you can still touch it and it works, or what I do is, triggering one handed mode for a second pressing it and move on. for me that would work. Sammy should put a disclaimer saying, can cause some issues with certain apps and let us use all the apps we wan't in fullscreen/immersive mode. It sure does look better and that's the way I'm gonna be using my S10 after rooting.
please if you have more tips how to get immersive mode, let me know.

Yes of course! like I mentioned before I always use my apps in immersive mode but for once I own a device that's not rooted yet and therefore hasn't a dozen of custom roms with the ability to tweak settings. And because the usual adb commands do nothing I remembered that app cloner had a bunch a display settings which you can mess with. And viola! It has an option to flag apps as immersive mode apps and it actually works! It seems to use a different hook/way to force apps into immersive mode and the result is just beautiful!!! Now you can really enjoy the Display of the S10.
Let me tell ya, after using apps in immersive mode for a hot minute and going back to the stock way sammy intended for us to use the S10, I have to say sammy did only a half hearted job on this. Yeah hardware side is nice but the software side is lacking and not utilizing the hardware. It seems like they didn't now any better and settled on a huge arse statusbar. Maybe because this isn't iOS where developers can develop for specific hardware not like on android.
The Downside? some elements do get in the way and require some kind of a workaround. In this case I settled on using one handed mode which brings the top half part of the screen down revealing those blocked elements by the punch hole. This works so far very good and I'm already used to it. Some elements peak out behind the punch hole so you already know there is something, in this case you can still touch that area because even the punch hole has a digitizer in that area.
S10+amoled theme+Substratum black theme+apps in immersive mode= In my opinion the best way to use this device and forget/never notice punch hole ever.
This should be a bigger deal and more people should talk about this. xda should cover this on the Frontpage.

Move clock/time to right side?.

Any way to move the clock/time to right side? Insert rant about android 9.
The usual samsung methods don't work. The SystemUI tuner app does not work either. TouchWiz is missing from the Beta+Rooted+adb permissions given version of the app. The custom entry keys (middle/right_clock_position) do nothing both on or off.
Also for the phone dialer, is there any way to change to one click to accept instead of the slide method?
ROG/ZenUI is really lacking in customization.

Don't think there is currently a way to move the clock. It bothered me too when I first got the phone, but now after a little over a week of use it's perfectly fine, I'm use to it. Not sure about the dialer tap to answer instead of slide, as I prefer slide to answer because it's less likely you'll accidentally answer an unwanted call.

Thanks, though now there's no way to show the 120HZ but not the auto-rotate indicator. Depending on if you have free or pro, it'll either show both or neither.
I guess nothing can work properly. It's about to be expected since it was never updated for android 9.
Thanks though.
EDIT: it's even more of a buggy mess, the temporary notifications don't disappear ever (message received, downloading item, etc .
Hrmm? Yes they do.
I've attached screenshots
It does not for me. The icons are stuck there after the notification ends. Are you using EdXposed and Flat status bar indicators v5.1.3?
I also have system tuner UI installed which may interfere with it.
EDIT: It turns out SandHook is more stable than YAHFA in this case.

Question Anyone's At A Glance On Home Screen Jacked -Up Too?!

So there's been some changes with beta build #5, and I'm reading my GA is gonna hook me up with some Krazy Kool custom features to jazz up my At A Glance field(I know, field is the best I could grab but it's not a widget becuz you can't kill it)?!
I hope she thinks of something soon cuz I'm left with this glorified calendar/schedule events thing that's there for the duration (see shots below). Can't even scrape what's left off the glass?! Lol, jk
p.s. Let us all not forget, we wanted beta so we got it.
p.s.s. for the record, the actual At A Glance widget is about midway down on my home screen, as I put it there just for illustrative purposes to accurately reflect what the other critter used to look like back in the day!
Yes, seems it's a bug with latest beta. Hopefully fixed with final version.

I was thinking it was just incomplete, they rushed it or something cuz they got like 3 toggles built into features? Me, I'm maybe a lone-wolf on this, but I've always liked this one from Google(widget whatever), and back a few now that At A Glance sorta spun off of the Google Now launcher theme, didn't it? The little frog dude that pops into the scene, is kinda kool when you close the app(or screen)and go back and tap the weather side of the widget!
(I'm probably the only one on that note)? smh
The three toggles are for customization, I think you will be able to add or turn off calendar, weather etc. It even looks like we will be able to remove at a glance altogether and add your own widget if you go to home settings and tap on cog it has option to disable but currently not working
