[Q] CM7 status bar disappears - TouchPad General

Hey guys, I would first like to say I really appreciate the Android port by CM. However, I have been having problems with rockplayer and youtube when videos are running, the status bar disappears so I have no way of going back except backing out of it by the home button. Is there a setting or is this a glitch? This is really annoying with rockplayer because when I press the home button and press rockplayer again, it goes back to the same video so I can't choose another video. I have to go to the apps manager to stop it completely to choose another video, extremely time consuming. Thanks~

Ahh, nevermind my question. Found the "disable fullscreen" button. Problem solved.

Under tablet tweaks, you can select which button will make the Status bar + Soft buttons pop up again

sometime the AndroidUI will failed and stop working, anyone known how to restar status bar without reboot TP

Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty

Works great on the NC (CM7)! Just be sure to hide the menu buttons when they show up.
Available in Android Market for $0.99 for a limited time.
Not available for me. What's up?
Did you do a special build.prop edit to allow it to be shown?
Nope didn't do anything special. I had to specifically do a search for "Captain America Sentinel of Liberty" in the market to find it though.
I'm running CM RC1 if that helps.
EDIT: Interesting, I just checked market.android.com from my PC and it says that its not compatible with the Nook. But when I did the search using the market app on the Nook, it found it and I was able to purchase, install, and play it.
If you got the new crappy Google Market, you can't get it.
I can find it in the market but can't download it. Sucks you can't get the Gmarket not to update, mine came through OTA.
Does anyone know if you kill / delete Market Updater.apk, does it jack up your system and G Market?
Yes.
I'd wiped my data/cache as well with the last NB and had the 6/13 gapps. Low and behold, after acknowledging the license it started the new market.
Looks like we need to start sending email to the app devs to please consider android tablet users that don't necessarily have GPS. Location services are still possible by Wi-Fi (although not as accurate), but should be sufficient for the dev's needs.
Google maps works for me with fairly close accuracy as the various phones have been updating their hotspot maps over time.

Did you perhaps alter your device ID in build.prop to get Netflix or Hulu working?
Update: just had no issues buying it over the old market with device IDed as Nook Color.
Update 2: Weeeeelll... the app is playable (and decent) once you get through the menus, but touch input isn't properly mapped to the menus, so you're pretty much tapping around the screen by trial and error to figure out how to move along. To top it off, none of the softkeys work except "home"--back and menu are useless. If you can manage to get into the game, it plays fine.

If you hide the menu buttons, how do you exit the game since only way is to press HOME button?
Also some times, the volume key to bring back the menu buttons doesnt work.

I press the 'n' button.
Also the game menu items are mapped properly if you hide the CM7 menu bar.
How do you solve the problem with corrupt graphics?
Have u connected status bar with n button?

I have my 'n' button set to go back to the home screen. Status bar / menu buttons always come back when it goes back to the home screen.

The problem with most games is, yes you have the status bar on your homescreen, but there's no way to get it back in-game without force closing via App Manager and starting over. Some games rely on the back button and/or menu button to navigate, especially to change any settings or really exit the app.

Hmm, don't know what to tell you here. I don't do much gaming, so I can't comment on most games. But in this one, as with all of the Angry Birds games, the in-game menu (via the pause button) works just fine for me. It's not working for you?

A lot of games (and some other apps) are built assuming you have a Menu and Back button, and don't have anything on-screen to access menu functions, or to get back to the main menu if you're on a setting screen and have hidden the status bar.
ETA: you know what, not only is there a solution to this issue, but I discovered, implemented, and promptly forgot that solution months ago. In the CyanogenMod>Tablet Tweaks settings, you can set any of the hardware buttons to also unhide the status bar. I had already assigned Vol+

Not only that, but you can also put the Home, Menu and Back buttons in the MENU that comes up when you hold the power button.

cm7 sd soft buttons vanished

The home, back arrow, menu soft buttons vanished along bottom of screen. How do I get them back? I tried the show hide funtions under launcher functions but no joy. This is the default sd cm7 with the gray green android on home page. I am sure its an operator error. Thanks in advance
Are you sure the status bar did not force close? That would be my first thought.
If not, what launcher are you using? The default ADW?

I did get a force close on esfile manager just prior to that and. I did notice the bar was gone at that point. I powered off restarted, buttons reappeared. I think that might have been my first or second force closeinseveral months and yes it is ADW default. I would like to go to theCM9 with CM7 sd but I will wait a while.
All the Best

Glad you got it figured out. The reboot usually does the trick for little did like that.
Also, if you're interested, you can run CM9 off a microSD card. Let me know if you are and I can find the link to directions.

[Q] Missing notification bar

Evening Everyone,
Spent the day playing with rooting my tablet (longer than expected but, eh). Ended up going with this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877217 and installing an embedded clockwork so I didn't have to hassle with an imaged sdcard all day. Everything worked great, some flaws with the rom but it is generally really stable.
Started playing with the settings and all of a sudden I got a message that the system UI has quit working. Now the status, notification bars and navigation buttons have disappeared. So far I have:
Rebooted
Opened Trebuchet and cleared the cache (and rebooted)
played with the settings to try and at least get the tablet bar to activate, it didn't (and rebooted)
Anyone have any solutions on how to get it back? I haven't tried reinstalling the rom as I wanted to try you guys first before I go and redo everything yet again.
Thanks for your help!

try holding the power button until the menu pops up and there should be something along the lines of "toggle status bar"
I have an option to "Expand Notifications" and it does drop down the extended notification bar, however it disappears right after use and I still do not have status or navigation buttons.
It is acting like I have full screen time out activated, but I have checked over and over and it is not
Got it
had to set the full screen timeout, exit to home, go back into settings and clear the full screen and violin, it is back...
(those captchas blow ass!!! this is the fourth time...grrrr...)

[Q] Now I need Help - Screen Problems

Hello. I'm a long time lurker, first time thread creater.
I have an Evo V from VM that's rooted, s-off, hboot 1.50 that was running CM10.1
Randomly it seems out of nowhere, the bottom strip stopped working. In other words I couldn't hit the calls button, the app drawer button, or the other 3 buttons on the homescreen. The hardware buttons still worked, and directly above the line of the homescreen dock worked. When in an app like greenify I couldn't hit the button to allow an app access, or in messaging I couldn't hit the text box to bring up the keyboard and start typing. When I went to do something that automatically brought the keyboard up I couldn't hit the spacebar, etc. At first I figured it was a hardware problem but now I'm not sure. This is because I enabled the dev option that shows you the input the phone is receiving. The little white dot came up exactly where I was touching, I just wasn't getting a response and I can't figure why. Tried the DU rom and the same thing. Tried the pacman rom and had the same problem. Yet the phone says that there is input there, things just aren't happening. This is further validated with the fact that when in 4ext, anything at the bottom of the screen where the dead zone would be, still works. Restored my CM backup when nothing else worked and for now the dead zone seems to be actually gone. But Idk how long that will last. Any ideas?
I'm guessing it's the pie controls getting in the way.
Go to settings>system>pie settings>trigger area>none
See if that fixes the problem.

Almost all apps (including launcher) crash

Hey all,
Just got my new OnePlusX and the first time I turned it on it prompted all the set up screens. I had to skip through them all because the keyboard would not stay open. It would open and then immediately minimize. Not a great start but no problem, I'll add my accounts and connect to wifi later.
Once I get into the 'home screen' I could see my status bar at the top but no icons and no way to access the app draw. I pressed the capacitive buttons and opened the notification slider which both worked and eventually got into the play store. From here I installed an app or two and got prompted to do a system update, which I did.
After the update I was hoping my launcher would work.. it didn't. The home screen is a black screen with the status bar at the top and no icons - the home button seems to do nothing when I'm in an app and press it.
I installed a third party launcher which worked - I now have a home screen and app draw. However, after opening an app, it crashes after a second or two (chompSMS does this as well as messenger, phone and contacts which are stock apps).
Does anyone have any information about this, what can I do here?
I know one option might be flashing a custom rom but being a brand new phone that should most definitely not be something I have to do to be able to call and message people..
Update: I ran a factory reset and all problems seemed to be resolved now. Not sure what was going on but I guess something happened that a reboot couldn't fix. I'll leave this post in case it helps others.
Have you done a factory reset after the system update??
