I just recently installed CyanogenMod 7 RC1.7 and I wiped all data and cache as well but for some reason no matter what theme I change it to, the same effect happens. Whether stock or custom, the status bar is constantly messy because of overlapping text and icons.
I am not sure what is going on or why but it wasn't happening before. If anyone has any idea I would greatly appreciate the help!
Have you tried reflashing CM7 (no wipe)? That will reset systemui and framework-res to default. Also make sure to verify the md5 sum for the ROM.

Thanks for the response. I did reflash CM7 and that seemed to do the trick. But I think I figured out what I was doing wrong.
I hate the DPI at 240 and so I switch it to 160 in the build.prop file. But everytime I do that, the problem starts to happen again. Is there any way to get around this? Am I doing something wrong?
Any help would be great.
Sorry for bumping this again, but does anyone know why its happening still? I just installed the latest CM7 11/04 build, wiped everything, fresh install.
As soon as I change the DPI to 160, it messes up again like it used to. I use 160 to get the apps from the market because nothing else works right and it usually says this app is not supported for the phone.
If anyone has any clues as to what is going on, I would sincerely appreciate it! All other DPI settings work, except for 160. But 160 is required to download market apps. I am totally screwed.

Does anyone know if it's possible to use the stock notification bar/drop down on Eugene's Frankin-Twiz? I would assume it's just a matter of grabbing it from one of the earlier roms, but I'm not too sure on the specifics of how to do so.
I assumed it was just a matter of editing the framework-res, but like I said, not too sure which file(s) it would be.
Am I completely wrong in thinking this is possible? Thanks!

Hi,
do you mean just the matte black instead of glossy bar along the top of the screen? Or the pull down menu showing you current notifications? Or Both?
If just the first, its only one or two drawable files in framework-res.apk, if the latter (pull down on its own or with the top bar too) then its files in both framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk, not too hard to figure out really.
My beta vertical battery mod for franken-twiz (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=758797) includes most of the changes, and I can post a twframework-res.apk to revert the rest, but be warned, I switched to the non-glossy touchwiz drawable files that come with every other Galaxy S phone, stupid samsung/t-mobile decided our phone needed to be "shinier" than the rest of the series =(.
Cheers,
=)

Hey thanks for the response! I actually really like your work!
I guess to make it easier to explain, the only thing I don't like from Frankin-twiz is when you pull the bar down, where it says "T-Mobile" and "No notifications" or "Ongoing" ... the text doesn't exactly fit in the area.
And I do prefer the matte look over the glossy, so that's probably why I like your stuff!
Edit: Disregard the question about pushing via ADB. I see your instructions in the other thread.
Okay I got the bar taken care of and it looks great! Thank you for that.
Now I'm about to do twframework-res.apk so that it matches, but before I do, does it go in /system/framework as well and do you recommend clearing the cache partition and dalvik-cache afterwards?
Well I got it and it looks perfect! Thanks so much for your help and work!
Edit: Ran into an issue. Whenever I try to download/install from the market, I get a Force Close on com.android.vending. Any idea why? I wasn't getting that problem before.

Hi,
Not sure about any FC issues, market works fine for me.
That said, however, usually FC issues from mods like this can be fixed by running a repair permissions in rom mamager, then rebooting into clockwork mod and clearing the cache and dalvik-cache.
And also, I ALWAYS recommend clearing the cache/dalvik-cache after any mod.
Cheers,
=)

You could also go into settings, apps, manage, market, and uninstall updates..
I don't understand how this happens to ppl... Happened alot with htc devices but never on my sammy yet...
Edit: Thanks Junk, didn't see your post before my last response. That took care of the problem. I wonder how that happened, either way, thank you!
Ok firstly big thanks to everyone on here helping me get this far
Secondly i have to problems with this mod:
In cyanogenmod settings i always get "force close" when i try to click the update notification button ?
Themes i can properly flash and install and they show in cyanogen settings but when i apply them the dont work, even after reboot ? , i have tried the three on wolfbreaks post to no avail
Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks
The update notification force close is because the files for it were not included because the X10 is not supported by cyanogenmod so the update notification doesn't actually function on our phone even if the file is included. This was discussed many many times in the main thread already.
As for your theme issues, you could try downloading it again and applying it again. It's possible the xml file was corrupted. What theme were you trying to use?
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
same here.. no theme changes.. fc in update notification and anonymous stats.. tried with both mine and my wife's x10s also but no changes. stock, stock_black, froshedyoV10, cm6.1.3-v4 all the same
ok thanks,
And yer themes i have tried setting and downloading reflashing , but to no avail,
i had one that nearly worked, but only got about 50% of the actual theme, then went to change it, and back and forth etc and never again did anything happen
cheers
Oh the theme I wanted to use was the gingerbread theme from the rom post but I also tried the theme already in it

Has anyones contact and phone icons changed back to how they are supposed to be? The changelog said he fixed it, but they are still the SE icons.

and the top half of the screen seems to not respond to being touched, it works if you touch the bottom and drag up , it recognises being touched but not if you touch it at the top. I know its software based because when i rotate the screen in works on the same basis where the top 1/3 does not work
welldont know what your problem is im using said rom with no problems everything works for me as thousands of others only thing i can think of is you have installed the rom incorrectly
try again but delete everything ie dalvik batt stat cash and full system then reinstall
I don't have a real solution for your problems with themes, but you could try others installing them with xRecovery, I installed "froshedyoV10".
Ah, yeah, taking advantage of this thread... I installed this awesome ROM and it's running so freaking fast, Im amazed! My X10 became ten times better, now I REALLY DON'T understand how Eclair 2.1 (wich it was laggy and slow) could improve the user experience more than Froyo... But hell.
cof, cof... OK, the only issue I have is my button leds, they don't turn on anymore since I installed CM. Anyone would know why?
Hello
First I would like to thank bharat_goku for this awesome ROM, so thank you
Now lets get to the business
1. Sometimes I have an odd problem. Apps that are installed not from the market force closes. On some apps this problem fixes itself after half a day or something like that. Magic, isn't it? I remember reading in some ROM thread that broken APK signatures may cause force close problem. The question is how can i fix it?
2. Is there a way to replace current transparent status bar to default one?
3. Is there a way to remove recent apps from notification box? It really feels sluggish now and lacks some space.
4. Is it possible to get default 2.1 lockscreen running? If so, what would I need to do to get one running? However this is more like for experimentation
5. Is there a way to *lock* apps like Phone and Messages in memory so they could always respond as fast as possible. I remember them being auto-killed on some roms... I currently didn't experience such behavior on this ROM since I didn't get any calls but I would like to be sure
6. I suppose I could manage to find this one easily but since I'm asking already... Where could I find old market app?
7. I'm thinking of making swap file and enable Compcache since GB eats memory pretty fast. I've seen them doing magic on Heroine (Sense 2.1) ROM. I'm gonna try these tweaks when I find some spare time... Has anyone tried something like that on this ROM? Was it worth it?
Well I think thats it for now. I'm not afraid of (adb) shell so if some answers involves using it that would not be a deal breaker

3. you can download and install "Remove recent apps from status bar" under Options from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090186
4. you can try this lockscreen for Wildfire which is similar to default 2.1 lockscreen for Hero, download and install "Wildfire Lockscreen" from the same thread mentioned above.

I found that if you select the slate skin, you get the status bar back and the whole rom feels faster. I also like the blue button highlights.
Thank you for your answers

I have found out that this problem is related to sd-card. It seems to be mounted as read only and some programs force closes when they cant write to that sd-card. I suppose this kind of stuff should be defined somewhere (maybe some ini file). So now the question is how can I make it writable.
P.S. I doubt it's my cards fault since I can access it through recovery USB mount without any problems.
P.P.S. I cant mount sd-card as disk drive through ROM.
P.P.P.S. I am also using LVX 0.6.2 so that may be a problem... I'll try flashing 0.5 when i get home
I guess I'm gonna need to reflash the ROM <looking for encouragement >

1. I think I've fixed it. I reflashed the ROM without wiping everything and now SD card works as it should, no FC's after that..
2. I have changed theme to Slate and then just accidentally changed back to default theme and the status bar is not transparent anymore
3. As stated few posts above the mod from SalsaSense works perfectly.
4. Same as 3.
5. It does seem to work well so I think it may not be needed here. However it would still be interesting to have some information about this.
6. Seems that old market app does not want to work with this ROM.. Oh well..
7. I've found out that compcache is not compiled into LVX kernel (or not enabled) so I could not test it out. About swap I did not test it either since atm my sd-card is too slow to even begin with something like that.
I hope this information will be useful to someone.
However I still have some issues... The phone drains battery in a day or so while doing nothing. Thats odd since with older sense 2.1 roms I could manage to push 3 to 5 days with light phone usage (really light, like 1 call a day, 3 texts and 10 mins browsing and of course alarm clock). However I did not use LVX kernel back then and governor was ondemand where now govenor is smartassv2. So battery life may not be entirely roms fault.
I'm gonna try to wipe battery stats and see how it goes then.
EDIT: Seems that wiping battery stats helped somehow. I don't have any idea how battery stats works, seems strange...

Well the thing is I used Slate theme from the beginning and then after having problems and reflashing ROM without wiping any data etc I changed theme to Default one. Since then the status bar is just like the original one, no transparency.
I have also flashed a mod that removes recently used apps from notification bar so maybe that has something to do with this. Strange.

not really it reverts it to the default statusbar which is not transparent....
anyway i've removed the transparent status bar in Rose V4 so it shouldnt be a problem now on...
Is there a way to fix it, or would I have to revert back to the old dialer? If so, is there a way to bring back stock without running my backup? I'm also needing in a menu in themed settings. Someone mentioned they had to revert theirs to get it working. I themed with Dark Fire I believe. Thanks to anyone that could help, or at least point me in the right direction.

I would imagine others would have the same issues with the theme but it seems to be unique to your situation.. Have you tried clearing both cache's and then reapplying the theme from bootstrap..?

To which issue? I can give it a shot, wouldn't seem to hurt anything I suppose. When I installed it, I had to run the 'settings fix zip" to get the settings menu to work period. The menu in question is Location and Security alone, everything else works fine. The ## I just noticed today. I'll reload the theme when I get up in the morning and let you know how it went.
Well I did as suggested, but nothing changes.
The last days I was playing a little bit with the density on my phone. At first you want to know which ROM I'm using. > CM9 latest build. I would like to set my density to 178 or also to 170, these are densities, the phone can show without a blurred screen, or blurred icons. Everything works fine and looks bombastic! But the problem is, that the phone.apk keeps crashing.
Everything is working until a density of 190. Below this value, phone.apk crashes everytime you start a call, or are called.
I know this problem is not new, but other threads are not answered and very old.
So... Anyone knows, whats the problem? Why it is. And how we could fix it?
I will try to disable compatibility mode in spare parts, but I don't think that it will work.
Anyone knows a workaround or maybe has a modded phone apk for ics?
Thanks in Advance!
EDIT: As I thought, compatibility mode won't change anything.

I don't know how to solve your problem man,but I suggest you give exDialer a go.It's as smooth,functional and cool-looking(even has an ICS theme available) as the ICS dialer.It'd make for a good alternative until you find the solution.
i'm using 185 on cm9 and phone.apk is working great for me.

The problem is that it isn't the dialer that crashes, but InCallScreen. exDialer still uses the default InCallScreen, so it still crashes.

I believe it breaks once you go below 182. If you were to drop your density to 180, you'd see the crashes, too.
hi,
i read very often about reducing density from twohundred and xxx to one hundred and xxx.
but nobody explained, whats the advantage of reducing this.
can somebody explain to me please?

As everything's a bit smaller, more stuff fits on the screen.
its a problem which isnt even fixd in the latest cm9 build so no, wait for fix!
But when everything is smaller, the widgets wont fit on the homescreen... ?
