[Q] 【Help】CM7.2.0 ICS Editon Beautify problem

Hello, guys.
First of all, sorry for my poor English...
Here is the thing: I applied the ICS theme to CM 7.2.0 and added some tweaks to make it perform better. But there's one thing I can't figure out.
Here's the picture.(What??? Upload picture is not permitted?? It said "URL Only..")
Doesn't matter, here's a URL direct to my post on a Chinese Android Develop website. The only picture in that post (main post, 1st floor) is just what I want to upload.http://bbs.angeeks.com/thread-2207289-1-1.html Under the notification power widget button, there's a green "light"(I really don't know which word to use, sorry). And I want to change it to blue, just like the ICS ROM.
Can anybody help me to achieve that? Thanks a lot.
Maybe I'll upload my Rom on Xda for the first time :laugh: .

Go to Settings > CyanogenMod > User Interface > Notification Power Widget > Color for status display
Enter a value like #ff4598c2 - that's the closest I could get to the ICS-blue

Thanks a lot~ I tried to set this in ROM so that some user with little experience won't have to do the steps you said at first place. Anyway, seems there's no easy way to do that, I think I'd better let them follow the steps themselves.
Thanks again, buddy.

[Q] Stunner 2.3.11 Issues with pie and performance control

I accidently posted this in the general thread instead of the Q/A thread. Can't seem to move it there. My sincere apologies.
I am trying to get Stunner 2, specificly pie controls and performance control, to fully work on my note.
Symptoms (on both 2.3.3 and 2.3.11):
- Pie control turned on but not showing. Tried about all combinations of pie control settings to get it to work.
- Performance control shows slider handles fixed to the far left, and cannot be moved.
- Superuser access notifications seem to be off at times (ie. showing 'Superuser granted to Theme Chooser' when i toggle Pie controls)
These symptoms occur directly after flashing the ROM and initial setup (no settings changed, no apps installed). I have also tried it while having extended desktop turned on as some suggested and tried multiple dpi settings.
I have tried to reflash the ROM multiple times, following instructions to the letter (this is my first post here but i'm a frequent visitor and have flashed probably over 50 ROMs on my note in the past). So full wipe, dalvik cache wipe, /system format etc.
Have been searching for a solution for hours now, have scanned the entire development thread, forum search, google, you name it... to no avail.
I loved stunner v1 back then and the vids showing off the pie controls make me Want it!
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

1) Pie control turned on but not showing. Tried about all combinations of pie control settings to get it to work.
2) Performance control shows slider handles fixed to the far left, and cannot be moved.
3) Superuser access notifications seem to be off at times (ie. showing 'Superuser granted to Theme Chooser' when i toggle Pie controls)
Answering you:
1) Did you try to slide your finger from out of the screen to the inside? Because i never had a single issue with Pie
2) doing some reading before posting and using search would help a lot, this is a known issue...
3) Install SuperSU? It has more features and it is more stable!

I have the same problem.
I must admit, it never crossed my mind to try PIE as I've never used it before and I was busy getting used to AOKP/CM10.1 having moved from TW JB.
Thought I would try it as you mentioned the problem and I can't get it to work either.
I am running on 240DPI, don't know if the DPI has anything to do with PIE functioning correctly.
I did think of looking for the app and wiping data and cache, but I can't find anything that looks like it is PIE.
Not the end of the world for me as I didn't intend to use it in the first place, but would be interesting to see how it works.
---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 PM ----------
Looks like it might be DPI related.
I am running on 240DPI, and this I haven't changed.
The default PIE settings didn't work for me, so I changed them to the following:
Trigger Size - Big (This is what makes it work!!)
Pie Gravity - Right (shouldn't matter, but I wanted it on the right)
Pie Size - Large (Gigantic is too big for comfortable one handed operation, with Small the info text is too small for me)
Pie Style - Default (default)
Pie Gap - Huge (default)
The other settings are personal preferences.
All working fine for me now.
EDIT: I have changed the Trigger Size from Huge to Big, as I had some problems with the trigger area overlapping with my on-screen keyboard, so bizarrely I couldn't press the P key on the keyboard. Setting the Trigger Size to Big has resolved this.

Had this problem too and was very frustrated with it. But thanks - changing trigger size to BIG makes it work!
Thanks lots!

Why haven't any ROM developers added DCI_P3 Calibration for their ROM's?

I've been reading here and there, and I've come upon that thread where you can enable DCI_P3 calibration for your display on your OP3T, only on OOS thou.
Why isn't it supported on any ROM where the Display Model doesn't even turn up, and why haven't any ROM Devs implemented it?
Cheers!

because not all 3/3T support dci-p3 color scheme ..
Only S6E3FA5 panel ID that supporting dci-p3

It's a simple thing to have the ROM detect the ID of the Panel, and then have ROM to choose whether to show the option in Calibration Settings under Settings.

If you think simple enough, so make yourself...

It's added through the kernel not the ROM, Ex and Blu spark both have it in OOS and custom kernels. Lineage also have it in their kernels too.

It works really well in LineageOS, I like the not so over saturated coloring in this mode, it's really nice to the eyes.

A Magisk module is available for it. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72842349&postcount=11

@thes3usa DCI_P3 color profile is available in official Resurrrection Remix rom for OP3T

You can with this one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...ment/rom-zenity-resurrection-remix-n-t3551384
It's in Live Display settings. Don't change the kernel though, or you won't have the option anymore.

Installed the Aug.31 build of Lineage on my 3T yesterday, and it's an option there in Live Display settings too. There also seems a bug where the selected colour profile reverts to default every time you turn the screen off and on though :/

Apparantly the dci-p3 should be available using Vertex OS. But since i dont have the supported panel(wierd, since i bougth it in June 2017, so probably didnt get the newer display).. But it should be possible to change even on the old display ?
EDIT:
I found out that i have the correct display which ends on a5, so it should be able. But cannot find the necessary files in the sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fb0 folder....

[GUIDE] Device Settings Menu | Part II - Sounds and vibrations, Notifications, Themes

Device Settings Menu Guide, Tips & Discussions
Part 2 - Sounds and vibration, Notifications, Wallpaper and themes​
If you're new to this series or want to see the index, please read the Introductory Post first.​
Sound and vibration
Vibrate while ringing: I have enabled it as in environments where ringtone is not loud enough, vibrations in my pocket helps me.
Ringtone: Set Ringtone for each of your SIMs. Tap Add to add music from your storage. Select 'Highlights only' to play only a specified part of the track and not necessarily from the beginning. This way you can make ringtones from the music track itself but anyways here are the best ringtones sites. The existing catalog in the device has few nature-inspired tones - I've set it to 'Friday'.
Vibration Pattern: Specifies vibration pattern for your Calls. Choose it to something by which you can easily differentiate your calls from a standard notification from the initial vibration itself. I've set it to 'Off-beat'.
Notification sounds: You can set customized notification for each app in app's settings itself so set this one as a default notification - something short that won't annoy you. My choice is 'Twinkle'.
Volume: Play with them to find what suits you. In my case, System (touch sounds, back button sounds, etc.) is zero while notifications on the lowest side. You can still control them by pressing volume rocker and then expanding the pop-up.
Vibration Intensity: If you get annoyed, like I do, by vibrations for every notification, set it to zero or alternatively set it to a lower level while tweaking individual app notification settings to allow/disallow vibrations. 'Touch interaction' is for on-screen touches while 'Hard press home button' is for the hard home button in Note9.
Use Volume keys for media: I never wanted to control ringtone with volume rockers. Must be enabled!
System sounds and vibration: Touch sounds; Screen lock sounds; Charging sounds; Vibration feedback; Dialling keypad tones; Keyboard sounds; Keyboard vibration; Touch vibration: I've set it off; on; on; on; off; off; off (I use SwiftKey); on.
Advanced sound settings > Sound quality and effects, Separate app sound:
Dolby Atmos: Read about it here. I've set it to Auto. You can easily toggle modes from the notification bar itself (move it to first page).
Equaliser: Play with it to decide what's best for you. Here is an Equaliser guide for you so that you can play with the Advanced mode as well.
UHQ upscaler: Bit-upscaling works best for me. Read a pro analysis on UHQ upscaling modes here.
Tube Amp Pro; Concert hall: They are disabled when using Dolby Atmos. I prefer Dolby Atmos over either of them.
Adapt Sound: Do try it! Add trying a new profile for each of your earphones or audio device and personalise sound. You can try existing profiles and toggling Clear or Soft sound preference.
Seperate app sound: Useful in cases where you don't want an app's sound to play on your default audio device. I have set 'App' to Chome/Facebook and Audio device to 'Phone' so that they don't accidently play on the connected device in case Bluetooth is left on.
Notifications
App icon badges: Useful though I use similar feature 'Notification badges' in Nova Launcher.
Do not disturb: You can schedule it though I recommend Tasker or IFTTT for scheduling stuff. Do explore Allow exception > Custom to enable 'Repeat callers', allowing calls/messages from specific group, allowing event/task/reminders. Customize DND so that your 3rd-party (scheduling) apps when enabling it enables your customized settings. Review 'App rules' when set by them. Allow or disallow LED or visual notifications when DND is enabled.
Status bar: Since I usually get a lot of notifications, I've disabled 'Show recent notifications only'. It's not a bad idea to get the actual percentage of battery level so enable 'Show battery percentage'.
LED indicator: Enable and then try apps like LightFlow (Pro) to define pro LED settings.
App Notifications: You can customize each App's notification here itself or can do this simply in that App's settings. I prefer customizing App settings when they arrive in the notification bar by holding the notification and tapping settings. This way, in some time, you'll make your app notifications fully customized for all of those that bother you. With Pie, you have now greater control of each app's notification. You can even customize notification subcategories of a particular app. Do check 'silent and minimized' mode that doesn't create a mess in your notification panel as well as minimizes the content by default with no sound. Do you need a separate guide to master this? Do tell. You can also refer to a good article here.
Advanced:
Allow or disallow lock screen notifications, DND exception and Importance. As above, I prefer doing this via app settings when needed.
Menu: 'Show system apps' for customizing notifications of the bloatware. 'Reset preference' in case you believe you have messed up with all your notifications or you need a fresh start.
Wallpaper and themes
It will route you to Samsung Themes. I use seperate icon and theme packs for Nova Launcher. I do use AOD packs from the Themes. Do explore this section on XDA itself. I'm going to develop some themes (preferably AOD skins) soon and will let you know. Learn how to develop yours here.

Is it just me, or am I completely missing the point of this? You've gone to all the trouble of explaining in great detail, a series of self explanatory settings.
It reads more as a long list just of what you have all your settings on haha.

Assuming that you have read the Introductory Post, I'm really sorry if it didn't work for you. I had tried to make sure that I don't iterate self-explanatory things that's why I haven't copy-pasted the descriptions that comes with the device. While exploring all the settings, I had to google many of them - maybe not a pro user like you. That's the reason I decided to compile this.
No worries if this series fails for everyone (though I believe there would be a group of users that I'd be able to help in anyway - maybe non-XDA users). Even if it's a no-go, moderators are free to close this thread. I always wanted to document the settings and this will at least help me in the future.
Peace.

Keep up the good work, please, finish the entire series. :good:
This is a great idea, if one feels they don't need it, they can simply move on to the rest of the device forum.
If nothing else it's a more detailed/user-friendly version of the OEM User guide.

Really gives me motivation, sir. I had already compiled the full series before moving to XDA. Three of total five parts are already posted. I was bit demotivated that's why was hesitating to immediately post the remaining two. They'll be posted within an hour now.
Thanks.

This is something I think should be a part of every device forum,especially the more popular devices.
Perhaps approach the powers that be @ XDA with the idea,to have this sort of breakdown of the phone,in its own sub-section of a device forum,to go along with the 5-6 existing sub-sections.
Such a section would address a lot of questions people have regarding their devices.
Maybe XDA will offer you (& others) a position on their staff to take this up................... :good:

Thanks for identifying the long-term goal of mine. I always wanted a single discussion space for similar kind of queries. While exploring every other unfamiliar setting on the device, when I googled them, I saw a lot of similar threads even in same website like XDA. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll surely try.
I'm now done with all the five parts (here is the index). I surely need more criticism to improve but I'm sure this is the way to go. I have been a pro mobile user since 2012 and I can bet on that most of the users have never explored even the basic settings in their devices. Even if I help a dozen of them, this is my success.
Thanks for supporting. Let's see how this works.

There's a very good "USER MANUAL" on the "Samsung"-site available:

I'm really sorry for disappointing you. It would be nicer if you could tell me how to improve the content. Coming to your 'Why' part, I think I have already explained it in the Introductory Post as well as included the message in top of every part.
I had already gone through the User Manual before I decided to compile this. User Manual has over 300 pages and it's too descriptive. It's feasible for a step-by-step process of a specific feature with even describing every button click and combination. I've summarized every single one of them in 5 parts. No one is going to read the manual in one go but I was able to fresh start my device in few minutes by going through my documentation. This may be a bad idea but as @KOLIOSIS says, I also think that this should be a basic part of each device's forum.
If manual could answer everything, why are there multiple QAs on XDA with similar queries like these:
samsung pay fingerprint section greyed out
wifi power saving mode
phone visibility
bluetooth low energy
seperate app sound
These are only few ones which I have just find out by going through first 2 parts and picking up any settings randomly. And I have filtered out results from XDA only. You'll see hundred of similar posts over many forums. This is a new idea and I will be happy to admit even if it fails. I get no worries for trying something new.

Question Brightness Bar Issue

Since yesterday my brightness bar has lost the animation, so I have to slide blindly and only when I lift the finger the brightness is applied. It's a little bit annoying and I don't know why it's happening.
Note: two days ago I updated to Dec. Ota, but I don't know if it's related or not.
Edit: it's related with AOSP Mods, solved when module is disabled, anyone with the same issue?

I didn't have the same issue with AOSP Mods enabled. I moved my brightness slider down below the quick settings though so give that a try
