Two quick questions. I changed my lock sound to a custom one and it works. Except half the time it only plays a bit of it and the other half I can hear the whole sound. Is that normal? Doesnt matter if I use the side button or a lock widget.
Second, how can I make the top status bar transparent? I am already on ICS domination and clean and simple 2.4.3 rom.

Think the look sound prob is because loading. Sometimes the phone needs a bit longer and th screen is already unlocked so don't need sound or what ever...
Maybe use a more little file (size and length), but didn't use it 'til now

Are there any ROMS or PATCHES that remove the standard "arc" lockscreen on an incoming call?
I've tried almose all of the ROMS and also jcase's nexux lockscreen patch, witch all fix the standard lockscreen, but as soon as I get a call, I see that dumb arch. I end up answering al ot of calls when I don't want to.
Thanks.
Lock 2.0 can make it so you just hit 'Accept' or 'Decline'.
But that might 'accidentally answer' even easier than the lock screen.
Put your phone in your pocket top-side down. You'll never accidentally slide to unlock. I still don't understand why people put it in there right side up. Phone calls accidentally answer (with tight pants) and the screen accidentally unlocks.
Upside down is better anyway. You reach in the pocket, you put your phone up toward your face to see it. It's a better system.
That's what I do. 0% accidental answer/unlock, EVER, when putting my phone in my pocket top down.
Thanks for the tip. I've got so used to rotating my phone in my hand when I pull it out of my pocket that it will take a little getting used to. It's a good idea, though.
I still hate the way it looks.
Yeah, lock 2.0 is a good alternative. I have never had a problem with the stock one, but installed lock 2.0 just for a change. I have the one like the iPhone lock, slides left to right. Give it a try

Just curious, does Lock 2.0 change the way you answer the phone?
Right now I have the Nexus One lock screen but it doesn't affect the incoming call screen.
any updates on this, i hate the pull down arc for the call answer
I use a rotary lockscreen, I don't know how it work with calls lol I don't pay attention.

Lol...yeah...we have default lockscreen on the rom we're using..
So..if you're using damagerom...you'll get the invisible slide to answer bar, no rotary unlock...
I was always wondering if there was a way to change that on any custom rom...
Lock 2.0
I installed Lock 2.0 on my EE3, but every time I reboot my phone it goes back to the sense lockscreen. How do I make Lock 2.0 the default?
If you use an AOSP ROM like Eris Lightning Bolt or KaosFroyo or CyanogenEris, you will not have the arc lockscreen to answer.
You also won't have, however, the beautiful SenseUI Home, the SenseUI widgets, the ordinary goodies that come with the Sense lockscreen, and a lot of the basic system features you come to expect in Sense that (some of which are enabled via CyanogenMod or otherwise) aren't all there.
It also is slow to ring, just like with Sense. But it is a completely different approach.
I also put my phone in my pockets upside down (since when I grab it and put it to my face, it's right side up anyway) and I've
N E V E R
accidentally answered my phone when putting it in my pocket that way. Top down. It's the way to go. 100%.
Plus it's easy to hit 'end' or 'call' right from your pocket when you need to hit it really fast.
With auto-brightness disabled, press and hold the notification bar then slide left or right to adjust the screen brightness (may need to wait a half second before sliding so the phone realizes you want the brightness changed).
I rarely use auto adjustments, so this way is faster than opening the settings menu and adjusting from display options.
I didn't see a recent thread about this, but if it is a recent repost- just let it get buried I know it works for nearly all Galaxy phones, but some of us Android users are getting our first taste of the Galaxy line with the Note.
Nice tip!
I read about this but forgot, thanks for the reminder. Until now I had added the Power Saving Widget to one of my home screens just so I could adjust the brightness - but even then it only allowed low - 33% - 50% - 100% which was a little annoying. And the thing is huge, takes up half the screen. All gone now!
Great tip! Thanks! Was wondering why the brightness option wasn't one of the notification bar power options...now it makes sense since it's built in...just not obviously!
That's the money shot right there!
Its like easter eggs left and right with this phone, I like it
Sweet nice tip!!!

That's the first thing I noticed missing from the notification bar, too
Im on mean rom 1.4 and it did work at first, but when I flashed the mod to use the shutter button as the search button it stopped working, my multiboot menu is gone too!
Bump
I would also like to know if this is possible. One of the better functions I miss from my old CyanogenMod. That and adjusting brightness with the top bar on the fly.

As far as adjusting brightness with the statusbar, there's a mod for that, too. I don't have a link handy right now, but it should be a quick search in the development section.
Hey, I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this?
Well pretty much, I've noticed that the time / clock within the status bar will start to lag behind the actual time of the device. This is more apparent when I'll turn on the screen, and view the lockscreen - the lockscreen clock will display a time that's "Correct" where as the status bar will display something that lags behind. This can range from a few minutes, to hours, in some cases.
For now, I've remedied this by changing the time settings from 12H to 24H and just leaving it there, and when it happens again, 24H to 12H...

I'm not sure if it would be related to the kernel, but I suppose it might be worth taking a look into?
Attached, is a screenshot showcasing what I've just typed up.
Thanks for taking the time to read.
its a issue you can fix it with this tutorial! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDtnkc63RP0
Managed to isolate the problem to being most likely my carrier having a screwed up network time.
Remedy is to use "Built in clock".
Mod's can close this, thanks.

Powerful friends. You are my idol. If you have time, can you help port MIUI on stock? Hah. I will try this colorful ROM ASAP.
works great and multilenguage on spanish works fine some apps in jap
Most functions are ready and stable.
Except that bugs in CM4.2.2, such as the loudly call volume, as it is in MIUIV5 on CM4.2.2.
Is that possible port color OS based on CM10(4.1.2). As I known, current I717 only has CM10 for stable usage although
it has random reboot.
One more, can the soft virtual key can be truned off? As I717 already has real touch key and the virtual key occupies
the screen and no much usage.
I don't see color OS has more apps and functions than MIUI, but it occupies 400M, why?
As I see, it is another style ROM, but not powerful as MIUI it is.
I check that the color OS is already in V2.0.0 (published on 2014.4.4), but current for I717 is V1.0.0.
I had a bit of trouble getting through the "welcome" screen due to the language but after using it for a day the rom feels pretty stable. I have had one problem though. I'm unable to listen to my headphones through the 3.5mm jack. I get a bit of static feedback through the headphones when I plug them in but the music doesn't play through them. Tried the stock music app and Play Music and no luck. Has anyone else had this problem? Also an option to hide the visual buttons at the bottom would be nice since they take up screen space. Themes work pretty well and look great also.
Overall, I like the animations and my phone runs pretty smooth. Just those little things I noticed.

I didn't check the headphone on 3.5mm jack. Just have a fresh try on this ROM and then switch back to MIUIV5 quickly.
Did you notice the call volume issue? The volume is loudly and you need to press speaker for once back then it back to normal. But it will reproduce again in next call.

Yes I was able to test it out and the first time I called it was pretty loud. I turned the call volume down during the dial tone and the recipient didn't hear an echo anymore through the ear speaker. I hung up and called back. They always hear an echo on the speakerphone but not on the in-ear speaker. I rebooted my phone and tried again and they didn't hear an echo. As long as my call volume is 50% or below they don't hear their voice echoing. I only called one person though so it could be different for another. This was after about 20 minutes of testing.
Rooted by installing flashable supersu binary update. Worked. Installed an incompatible xposed module and it crashed launcher. Love the music place and photo place on launcher screens.(launcher in general was sweet) Would like to get rid of nav bar and receive english interface for color os specific settings. (Example: accounts ask for phone #, name etc in english but agreements and descriptions are in another language making them useless if not deceiving.
Edit: Capacitive keys stayed on as well.

Here's to the beginning:http://en.miui.com/thread-18061-1-1.html
Played around with this again. Showed it off to some co-workers. Didn't kill it with xposed this time. Lol. The following sign in tip helped immensely.
"After the Google sign in screen, ignore the green and blue buttons and press the smaller white characters below. Then uncheck the box on the next screen and hit the big green button."
Just the fore mentioned issues with the earphone plug not issuing sound (sound continues to output through and speaker) and lit capacitive keys bother me.
