[Q] Marshmallow questions - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I did search but did not find what i was looking for. Is there a list of apps that can be deleted for MM? Without Xposed how do I change the battery icon to a text percentage?

I can answer the battery icon question. Pull down from the top of the screen with two fingers, press for several seconds on the settings cog, and you'll see a message saying that you now have the customisation options. At the bottom of the settings you now see System UI Tuner. Inside is "Show embedded battery percentage".

I never was able to get into system UI tuner, so I will have to try that.
I did as you wrote, but did not see the message much less system UI tuner. I am running a custom ROM, so what did I do incorrectly?

Custom ROMs can remove system UI tuner or automatically enabled it and moved it to a different location in the settings menu. I have seen a couple that have it in their custom ROM's settings.

Did you pull down the quick menu and press continually the settings icon? And when pressing that icon, look at it... and see it spinning?

Repeat it several times. In my case 3rd time and after reboot Systemui-tuner appeared in the Settings.

I did try multiple times but I will try what you succeed.

Still no success, but I should ask about other ways to get the battery percentage. Also why there is no list of safe apps to delete in MM?

Not seen such a list. I deleted: documents, slides, Asian keyboards, music-player, games, project Fi, Sprint.

GSam battery monitor will show battery percentage in the notification bar, just not *inside* the battery icon. System App Remover will show you which system apps you can remove safely. Note however that even though it says it will put them in a "recycle bin" it fails to do so sometimes. So make sure you don't want it Or you could make copies of the apks yourself I guess, never tried that .

It will show inside battery

I was looking to replace the icon by text, but will check it out.
Did not look for System app remover in the play store but try it.

New request: how do i get a more extensive reboot menu including recovery? I do not mean using an app like reboot manager.

Battery - maybe Battery Bot will do what you want. As well as having the percentage showing inside the battery icon, I have a text percentage on the left of my status bar. I have Battery Bot Pro (I believe in supporting developers) but I guess the option will be in the free version as well.
And for a different reboot menu which allows full restart to bootloader or recovery you need root. There are several apps on the Play Store which apparently do a "fake" reboot by closing and reopening services without root, but I've never really looked in to them. If you don't have root, then I doubt you'll get what you're after.

You can apply this to your AOSP build:

I am basically making some mods to a stock ROM. I will have to look at that link in detail.

You are gonna end up with issues if you keep doing it this way. Not to mention you will lose one thing because of another. In the end you will have to decide either, Code the changes into your current rom yourself, flash xposed, or flash a custom rom.

Any recommendations for an Apk compiler running under Win 7?

[MORPH] ¡UPDATED! Evo 4G Black Bar Mod v1.3 9/2/2010

This was created for the Vibrant, but I see no reason why it would not be compatible with the Captivate. Enjoy.
This Metamorph changes the status bar and status icons to the Sense theme. Make sure you are using the latest version of Metamorph (1.9.13 or higher). I'm not responsible for anything you do to your phone.
WARNING:
Make sure USB Debugging is enabled in Settings -> Applications -> Development.
If you're using the standard TouchWiz launcher, this morph will remove the Messaging icon from the bottom dock. To get it back, open your applications, press menu, view type, customizable. Menu again, then edit. Find the Messaging icon, drag it back into the dock, then menu, save, menu, view type, alphabetical grid (or whatever you had it on before.)

does this change the battery so that it is actually accurate?
Thanks for the tip. I really like how this looks.

Yeah, the battery uses the HTC scale to show level, not the completely retarded Samsung scale that always shows damn near full.
This might be a dumb question, but I'm new to android so I'm gonna fire away anyways. I really prefer the way this made my notification bar look, but there is one thing that seriously bothers me up there, although it isn't directly related to this thread.
Is there any way to change the notifications for apps in the notification bar on the left side? In particular, I hate the way the juicedefender notification looks, and would like to change it to something... less colorful. Is this possible?
Short answer: Yes, if you're dead set on doing it.
Long answer: Metamorph wasn't really designed for Market apps, but it has been done. You would need to create an icon, and then build a metamorph zip around it. You could also pull the app from your computer, remove the icon, replace it with a new one, and resign the zip file. If you're not sure what you're doing, both methods will be a pain in the ass, but luckily there are plenty of tutorials on XDA.

Thanks, I sent you a PM to prevent the further derailment of the original thread.
On a more on topic note, every time I look at my notification bar I like it more and more. The battery icon does seem more accurate, and it didn't affect the brightness control swipe action.
this WILL work if using a launcher separate from TouchWiz right? i use LauncherPro, and just making completely sure before i try using it.

Yes. This modifies the system framework, not the launcher. Technically this morph will work on any HDPI android phone.
What do you mean by not supporting market apps? I can't put apps on the home screen?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
is there anything special I need to do to calibrate the battery icon? I'm at 67% battery right now and it's showing the same scale as the old samsung icon (i.e a sliver shaved off to denote the battery is between 50%-75%)
Do I sideload this onto my captivate or how do I install it??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Install Metamorph from the market, and move the file in the download link to your phone. There will be a folder called AndroidThemes on the root level of your SD card. Open Metamorph and locate it, the hit extract. After it extracts, select the applications you'd like to modify, or just hit Apply All.
Thanks Man I Got It And It Was Completly Easy Greatly Appreciated
This looks great, thanks for the info. : )

I was explaining to a previous poster that Metamorph wasn't designed to be used to theme market apps. You can put whatever you want on the home screen. This morph just replaces the images. It doesn't change functionality at all.

It's possible that the Samsung battery fiasco runs deeper than just the images. I thought mine was showing a more realistic scale, but I could easily be mistaken.
I ran this and my phone just cut to black after applying 4/4 and now won't start?
edit: sorry, stupid, gave it time, pulled the battery, restarted... it's working fine... I just got a big over-anxious
It will soft reboot after applying the framework-res package. As long as it's allowed to run, you will be fine. If you did something stupid, such as pull the battery, you'll need to push framework-res.apk to /system/framework over ADB from recovery in order to get it to boot again.

I sat waiting for a solid 5 minutes with nothing happening. I tried holding down the power button for varying periods of time, to no avail. Plugged in/unplugged USB: nothing...
Eventually said "**** it" because it wasn't responding to anything, and pulled the battery. Replugged the battery, booted fine, the new framework installed just fine.
edit: I should note that I have removed the standard e-mail.apk (not the gmail one) and it tossed out a comment saying it wasn't there, but I assumed it would just skip it and move on (that's the only thing I could imagine that would cause it to sit at the black screen for so long)

[APP] Widgetsoid2.x ... 3rd party Power Control Widget, and more... way more!

Just thought I'd pass this along. Before the NS, I used the hell out of "Extended Controls" ... Sadly, most of the toggles I would have liked to use do not work with the NS (2.3 compatibility issue?). Emailed the dev and got responses right away saying it will be updated next week. Next week came and gone ... came and gone again. Dev is probably behind with RL stuff so sooner or later it will be updated. In the mean time, I found an awesome alternative with more features ... and its free.
Widgetsoid2.X
Highly customizable power control widget ... and can even be configured to add a power control widget from your notification bar drop down.
Yeah I really like widgetsoid. Since cm team still hasn't got the flashlight working I use its flashlight widget inside the notification bar. Works great.

great app, been using it for a while now. but how do you put the widgets in the notification bar? can't seem to find it
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
ohh that's a nice find
Odd. Both my wife and I use extended controls fine. I find if you restore it via Titanium, it doesn't work but if you do a fresh install of it, everything functions great. Good find though.

The widget isn't really not put in the notification bar. It puts the image of your widget there but when you click on a power control it brings up the power control in an overlay of your screen where you then select which power control you want to turn on/off. For me (not short on screen space) its no quicker than using regular widget on the screen.
thanks! I've been using extended controls even though it wasn't fully operational w/gingerbread. Just dl'ed widgetzoid and bluetooth works! Liking the vertical option too..
I was really impressed by Widgetsoid and its developer 2 weeks ago. I found a bug, emailed the dev, and got a response in like an hour. Within like 2 hours of emailing him, he tracked down the bug and incorporated a fix into the next release. Now that's service.
we reported it a while ago
http://www.mobiflip.de/2011/01/andr...-benachrichtigungsleiste-einfach-nachruesten/
(p.s. google translate is your friend )
The thing I really like is how easy it is to edit existing widgets. Saves a lot of time if you just want to add or remove something from a power control type bar
the app is good, no doubt, but it's a major pain in the back to configure
some options are no longer available after you hit apply
so if you ever want to change them again, you can't (for example the invisible option, there are a few more that are no longer accessible after it was saved)
and the only alternative is to delete it, and create a new one

Guess that's why I'm sticking with extended controls. Profiles are so easy to edit.
but once you master this App, it's a big treasure chest!
once everything was properly setup and configure, it easily replaced 7+ apps
TeslaLED
tons of On/Off Widgets
Ace Volume
Battery info
crap load of other ones i uninstalled
i setup 4 rows, maybe gonna add 1 more for 5 rows for Apps
that's the nice thing about this app, you can create custom shortcuts to make it launch your most used apps, from the Notification area
i simply love it

Top app, I paid the donation version because this kind of good developer need to be supported.
The dev answered my question and implemented my suggestion!
PS: No problem with applying profile. And if you do have, just email the dev, he will answer and fix.
are you guys able to enable/disable Data with Widgetsoid 2.x on Nexus S using Gingerbread 2.3.. (unrooted?).
Most items work, but this one does not toggle Mobile Data on/off on my phone. I dunno if this is a security limitation right now with this OS.

Yeah I noticed this too. Was a shame, cause this is the main reason I was after this. I guess this functionality of directly enabling/disabling from the task bar cannot be enabled in stock roms without direct framework changes.

Hi,
Widgetsoid need root only for the reboot toggle
For the data on Nexus S just restaur your apn, check your data is enable and go to global preferences of widgetsoid and check "disable all apn".
Now it have to work.

Android don't allow event on notifications it's an android limitation not an widgetsoid error/limitation.
On HTC rom it's works directly because HTC have modify android source code to allow this. HTC users are lucky. Next version have an option to disable popup after click on notification.

Random Stuff...

I hate how cluttered the status bar is on the S6. So I spent some time rearranging and hiding stuff. Still lots of work to be done but I think its worth sharing. Also, if anyone out there could deodex this B I'd be very grateful. I'm stuck on a couple apps...So here's what it looks like right now. Center clock, hid the battery icon, hid the BT, sound and alarm icon. I got rid of the sfinder and quick connect buttons in the pulldown, and the brightness slider. The ONLY "bug" with the current apk is the status clock shows on the lock screen.
If you do decide to check this out, make a backup first! The systemui is deodexed, so you have to delete the 2 odex files in /system/priv-app/systemui/arm64. Then Paste the apk over the old one, set permissions and reboot. Your phone WILL lock up when you paste it. A reboot clears it up.

We'll probably never see AOSP on this phone so might as well make the best with what WS have ??
https://copy.com/pdxsDxZpkxlntnnl
"We'll probably never see AOSP on this phone so might as well make the best with what WS have" - A curious prediction - any hints on why? As far as i know, we have kernel source (as used for TWRP), easy to do root, and an unlocked bootloader. If there is any S6 that can get an AOSP build (unofficial of course), its this one..
Exynos. The S5 variants from over a year ago that have the Exynos still don't have AOSP. Never is probably to definite, but I doubt it'll be anytime soon.
Yeah but how many people did they have working on the Exynos? Most of the world was on Snapdragon. Now they have no choice.
We'll see...
I noticed that the status icons are grey compared to the clock. It didn't look like yours was like that from your screen shot, so I'm wondering if they're supposed to be like that or not.

They always have a choice - i think it is giong to depend on the direction Samsung takes in the future with the note 5 and beyond - if they continue to use Exynos exclusively for new phones - and they make those phones compelling - then we have a greater liklihod that will happen, IMO.
I hope so - even though I mostly use Touchwiz - I like the variety that having AOSP roms offers. I am still stuck in the world of not wanting to lose the Samsung Camera when I flash AOSP roms - and because you do lose samsung camera on AOSP I typically haven't flashed AOSP very often - it would be so cool if the camera could be ported - but I doubt it ever will be...
I probably won't end up staying with AOSP but I test everything.
I'm already working with @chenxiaolong to get his dual-boot patcher apk to work on the S6 Edge. I believe we have support just no roms to test yet

The app drawer is aweful. You have to hit organize each time you install an app. Also you cant swipe left from letter A. Not happy with this.

[GUIDE] How To Show Battery Percentage in Notification Bar

Maybe this is obvious for some, for others, maybe not.
Just another option for a different battery notification.
1. It lives in something called the System UI Tuner
2. To turn on System UI Tuner, you'll have to enable the developer options on your Android 6.0 Marshmallow device. To do this, head into Settings, 'About Phone'. At the bottom of the list you'll see the "build number" for your device software. Tap on this repeatedly and it will unlock the developer options that will be added to the settings menu.
3. Enable System UI Tuner. Swipe down the Quick Settings panel and you'll see the settings gear icon at the top of the display. Press and hold this.
It appears at the bottom of the settings menu.
4. Open up this menu and you'll find a range of options. Toggle "show embedded battery percentage" and you'll get the battery figure added to the icon, so you can always glance at it.
That's it!
You have to keep System UI Tuner enabled in order for the % to show.
Pull down quick notification panel
Press battery icon
On a upper right you will see 3 icons:
Refresh/battery/settings dot's
Press battery icon.
You have 4 choices of battery style.
No need to activate system UI menu.

This is Android. We have many ways how to get in to the battery settings menu...any way, when u there...... *Check the screenshots

These 4 icon options everyone keeps mentioning do not display a percentage value inside them by default. From what I can see, the procedure OP described is indeed something that cannot be done through normal battery settings.

Exactly. The Android way give you a battery icon with the percentage inside. Just another option for users

Thank you for finding this by the way. I was originally a bit disappointed when the battery circle option didn't have a percentage display.
It seems like System UI Tuner is a stock feature in Android 6.0, something I had definitely never heard about, good job. :good:

I concur with the above statement as I was also a bit disappointed about no percentage inside the circle. I also missed hearing about this feature as well. So I think a few of you who thanked the guys trying to say that OP was wrong need to thank the OP and remove your thanks from a quote that obviously was done without fully understanding OP's @vikeor point.... LOL :good:
Thanks! I hated having just the battery percentage on my notification area. I was also disappointed that embedded %age in circle option wasn't there. That used to be my go to battery view. Now i have it back. Thanks to you.
I activated system ui tuner but I deactivated it (upper right) and now even with the long press on the icon, it don't appear, just open the setting and go directly at the bottom but without system ui tuner.
It's not that I want it, I just wonder why I can't make it appear anymore (but I won't activate it in the end).
Not working for me. Is it because I have the Freedom OS?

Install Vanced Manager and install Micro G, it will give you notification on the status bar, click it and you will be able to access that menu.

What's next?
I don't find any option to disable the app optimization? There are some apps I need to manage since Samsung always kills it and I don't get any notifications
Go to Settings, then Apps, tap 3 dots (upper right) then Special Access, then Notification Access.

The app i am looking for not listed there. I need Gmail to sync 24/7 and it only sync when I open it up.

Since Gmail is part of the system app you can't change the battery optimization. The way around this is to delete the app via adb and then reinstall via play store. This way you get the battery optimization option in the app.
This setting can be made in app settings of Gmail app itself. Though app info (long press app in app drawer, press (i) in top right corner), Battery, choose Unrestricted.

Thanks guys. Will try and report back. Just wondering if they removed that option from special access menu.
Been there since one UI 2 and was still present before I upgraded to UI 4
i was wondering where this setting was as well, ever since ive updated to android 12 the majority of my widgets for various apps have stopped updating, Samsung seems to have got a lot more aggressive in killing apps with this version

Hi, it didn't work. The app still got killed even though on the unrestricted. I need Spotify & YouTube to be not killed since I use them when I am driving.
Weird I can't find that special menu anymore after the update!

Hi, I am on One UI 4.1 (on the S20 FE). I have installed vanced manager and microG as you asked. However, I am not able to see the Notification or "Optimize battery usage" in the settings. What do I do from here?
Thanks.

You'll need to open the MicroG & log in to your Google account. Then it should have the notification just like the screenshot I shared. From there you can access that option

In Samsung S21 UItra, it’s very easy to find a battery optimization option.
Step 1:
Go to "Settings" and click on "Device Care".
Tap ‘Optimize now’ to optimize your ‘Battery’, "Storage", "Memory" and "Security".
Step 2:
In 'Battery', tap ‘See more’ to go to Settings and click on ‘Sleeping apps’.
Tap ‘Add’ to select apps you want in sleep status, then tap ‘Add’ once again.
Clean up unused apps and features.
Go to ‘Device care’ in ‘Settings’ and click on ‘Battery’. and then ‘Battery usage’.
Click on ‘See more’ and tap ‘Hide OS and system apps’ Check battery usage and details of apps actually in use.
