CM7-DX2 cyanogen mod settings and how to configure them. - Motorola Droid X2

Want to start this thread for those of us that are new to CM7 like me. Looking for input on how to best use the capabilities of this rom. Any advice or direction would be great.
Example.
1How to change the battery icon to have a percentage instead of a icon.
Push menu button then settings hit CyanogenMod setting/ interface/ status bar tweaks/ battery status style. Here you can change the battery icon.
2 how to set CPU frequency (the speed your processor runs)
CM settings/ performance/ CPU setting. Here you can set CPU min and Max along with different governors like performance or powersave.
3 How to change notification power widget:
CyanogenMod settings/ Interface/ Notification power widget.
From here you can select what you want displayed in notification. (Widget buttons), order of the icons (Widget button order), and color under the icons (Indicator color).
4 How to set lock screen to delay the pin lock after screen is off.
Hit CM setting/ lockscreen/ delay and time out/ screen time out delay/ set it here.
Note: the following are my selections for the Security lock screen and the slide lock screen delays. You can change yours to what you prefer.
1. Select Screen timeout delay. I have this set to 10 minutes. This is the setting that sets how long to delay the security lock screen before it activates when the screen times out.
2. Select Screen turned off delay. I have this set to 10 minutes as well. This is the setting that sets how long to delay the security lock screen before it activates when you quickly press the power button to turn the screen off.
3. Make sure there is a check mark for the Enable slide lock delay setting. This ensures the slide lock screen has a separate delay from the security lock screen.
4. Select Screen timeout delay. I have this set to 5 seconds. This is the setting that sets how long to delay the slide lock screen before it activates when the screen times out.
5. Select Screen turned off delay. I have this set to Immediately. This is the setting that sets how long to delay the slide lock screen before it activates when you quickly press the power button to turn the screen off.
With these settings, my slide lock screen comes on 5 seconds after the screen times out, or immediately when I tap the power button. Then, in either case, the Security Lock screen comes on 10 minutes later.
If I tap a button before the 10 minutes expire, I am presented with my slide lock screen. If the 10 minutes has expired, then I am presented with my security lock screen. (The slide lock screen is never presented once the security lock screen has been activated.)
5 how to disable lockscreen.
CM settings/ tablet tweaks/ disable lockscreen.
6 how to mute camera shutter sound.
CM settings/ sounds/ mute camera shutter.
7 how to set quite hours were your phone automatically changes to silent.
CM settings/ sound/ quite hours.
Set for work or night or what ever.
8 how to put notification/status bar on bottum of screen.
CM settings/ tablet tweaks/ bottum status bar.
9 how to assign long press actions to your menu: home: search: buttons.
CM settings/ input/ long press settings. I set my camera to open with long press search button. Then search button to take the picture its really nice.
10 how to change music settings in CM settings.
1 CM settings/ input/ volume button music control.
2 CM settings/ lockscreen/ widget options/ lockscreen music controls. Here you can configure all kinds of settings.
3 CM settings/ interface/ notification power Widgets/ widget buttons. Here you can set play pause next and previous in notification pulldown.
4 CM settings/ sound/ here you can set the volume of notification and ring and alarm when music is playing.
11 how to change notification LED light settings.
CM settings/ interface/ LED notification here you can set color and how often it blinks for different applications.
12 how to change Wifi sleep policy
Seems alot of people were complaining about wifi issues in CM7 Beta post.
Since there is no blur to change this, and the only change we have is through..
Settings/ Wireless&Networks/ Wi-Fi Settings then menu button/ Advanced/ Wi-Fi sleep policy. By default CM7 turns Wifi off when screen turns off, I adjust mine to Never and no issues with Wifi. Reboot phone after setting.
13 how to change the trash can position on screen.
Hit settings then ADWlauncher/ UI settings/ trash can positions.
14 how to change lock screen back gound/wallpaper.
CM settings/ lockscreen/ styles options/ choose background. My lockscreen looks awesome now.
15 how to swipe across notification bar to adjust brightness.
CM settings/ interface/ status bar tweaks/ status bar brightness control.
16 How to remove app labels from icons.
settings/ adw launcher/ screen preference then hit hide icon labels. This should remove the labels.
Found this write up for CM settings thought it was very helpful.

This is my lock screen. Check the OP for direction how to set lock screen background.
sent from my CM7-dx2 using XDA premium

Here's something I figured out that most people probably already know, but just in case.
If you don't like the default colors of the status bar icons, in order to change them you have to go to Theme Chooser and then you can select a different color.
If you want more colors, go to the Themes & Applications forums for more themes.
For days I was trying to figured out in Cyanogen Settings how to change the colors of the icons. I almost went into ROM Toolbox to do it and then thought about it a bit and realized the colors are set via themes. DOH!

Yeah was about to use rom tool box for my icons to. Found a cool ICS green theme love it.

Any word on getting brightness notification bar swipe option functional on cm7 dx2 (where you control brightness by swiping your finger across notification bar)?
--nevermind, gotta hold your finger on it for a few seconds before you swipe.

screenshot
Long pressing the power button brings up the option to take a screenshot. Is this working for anyone? Anyone know where the images are stored?

Yes screen shot is working fine for me. Some times i have to reboot to get it to work. Screen shot image store in /mnt/sdcard/dcim/screenshot.

Brightness slider widget

Are there any apps out there that provide a brightness slider as a widget. For example a 4x1 widget that allows for quick adjustments as opposed to the 3 click button or the slider shortcut method.
Is this even possible?
Just thought I would ask, as this would be useful to many I imagine.
Thanks in advance for any answers.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I don't know think it would be possible in a horizontal form, I think any horizontal swipe would only work as a homescreen swipe. I like using the brightness button on the Extended Controls widget. One tap brings up the slider (with an auto brightness toggle if you want) and once you take your finger off the slider it closes. I know you mentioned slider shortcuts, but this is the quickest form of adjustment I've seen in a widget, short of the touchwiz notification bar.
I recommend Brightness Level by CurveFish. It's not quite what you're looking for, but I honestly don't think you'll find what you're looking for unless there's a special widget for a home alternative like ADW or LP. Brightness Level is similar to the one mentioned above, in that fact you can tap it once and it goes away the second you're done sliding it. But what I like is that it has preset buttons too. It also helped me figure out that the system settings don't go below 8%. This widget will actually take you down to 0% (still brighter than I'd like, so sometimes I use Screen Filter too). It's only a 1 x 1, which in my opinion makes it better. Just something to try.

Try Extended Controls from the market. I user the brightness control daily. The slider comes up when you press the brightness widget. Plus there are so many other options action the app.

Definitely try Brightness Profiles by Craig G in the Market, its awesome and I keep it on my home page

notification bar
hmmm I'm assuming you're talking about adjusting the brightness of the phone whenever so..
Did you know you can just change the brightness of the screen by gliding your finger across the notification bar left and right?
You have to turn off the auto-savings and auto brightness in the settings first though,
but after that just glide over the notifications bar and you're good to go!
Most amazing trick needs no widget.
All good options, thanks for the input. As far as the notification bar
Sliding, I can not get this to work. I am using adw launcher, not sure if perhaps this is a stock launcher option only.

If your phone currently had auto brightness enabled I don't think you can use the notification slider. It takes practice with some ROMs, but I'm sure you'll figure it out.
On the froyo builds you have to hold your finger on the notification bar until it goes back up a second later, (dont let go!) THEN after that you can slide left and right to control brightness.

[Q] how to change the lock screen for s2 ?

hello guys , i have a question . i would like to change the lock screen, but i don't know how to change. any guys know ?
thank you
Widget Locker. The popular most app out there.
(I don't use any 3rd party Lock Screen app.)
Regards.
You mean changing the way it looks? Or the image?
Just so people are aware widget locker looks good but does drain your battery a lot so i just stick with the normal lockscreen.

That I said at least 10 times, but people don't care as they love the app so much
Just flash a ROM that has lockscreens...
Sent from my Cyanogenised GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
If you mean change the image then hit the menu button from the home screen and select "settings"
In the subsequent menu select "Display" then the top menu item "Screen Display". On this menu you will find options to set font size, home screen wallpaper, lock screen wallpaper and lock screen clock position.
Some widgets also offer lock screen custom options.
You can also go to the "Location and Security" menu in the main settings menu for some other options on the lock screen like password or pattern requirements to unlock.
Hope this is of some help.

Request to add to Notification toggles
A request, how about making two more different notification toggles using neon blue or green colour to show each toggle is turned on would be nice.
Also a double square icon beside the settings icon as well but other than that it very good.
Then I will install the systemui into my smartphone if request is granted, much appreciated, please.
Regards,
Darkfunnyguy.
Can you make the zip that is flashable via CWM?
nice it blends in great with the sony look. one thing imo would make it better. the silver based battery icon showing 100% battery use. Not that keen on this one which goes down from 10>74>59 etc.

Hi, awesome mod, just what I was looking for. Everything works perfectly accept for date and time display. I can't seem to set the time to display in 24 hour format and the date format I'm unable to choose how I want it displayed.
Did I do something wrong or was it the way it was designed. How can it be rectified.
Thank you very much for all you efforts.
There is no "Notification" option in it....
It disappeared.... Now how can I switch on/off notifications??
The Notification option is not even present in the QuickPanel Settings....
Plz advise.....

stop notifications from lighting up screen?

notifications waking up the screen are killing me.. if my phones in my pocket and the screen wakes up, then every step i take, my thigh hits the screen and keeps it awake for hours till i check the phone or it dies first..
sometimes when i get certain notifications, such as low battery, it keeps the screen on indefinitely (ironicly battery warning is a huge battery killer lol..), so does charger connected/disconnected.
anyways there's my rant, my question is,
; has anybody come across a way to stop the screen from turning on when getting a notification? it already lights up, vibrates, has a smart reminder option, and a led indicator, I'd really love to stop the screen from lighting up.
ill give 'Thanks' to anyone throwing out suggestions

are you talking about the sms app? use a custom one
SMS app is one culprit, so is email, Google talk, battery notifications, LINE messager, and a zillion other 3rd party apps.. itd be much more realistic to find a lock screen off solution, or remove the service that lets apps lightup the screen
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Easy fix, get SMS popup app, go into the stock SMS app and disable notifications, now go into the SMS popup app and in notifications , click and enable notifications. Now go into additional settings and unchecked screen on for pop-up . That's it, you'll get notifications without the screen turning on.

Soraxd,
What lock screen do you use?
I have a good workaround, but it involves using WidgetLocker lock screen which is hands down the most killer optioned lock screen around.
Let me know if your interested.

i am interested, ? actually purchased widget locker in the past. it just seems to unlock slower than stock lockscreen, so i stopped using it when i got my s3. what's the option?
in the mean time ill try the SMS app and report back
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
soraxd,
Workaround...works pretty much flawless on my S3 with ICS.
Install Widget Locker. You mentioned that it was not as fast as your stock lock screen. On my old retired HD2 and my 6 month old S3, W.L. is actually faster than stock. The key thing is that you have the settings maximized...which include disabling the stock lockscreen from withing ICS/JB settings. (I can give you more info if it runs slow for you) I just set my wife's new S3 with the same configuration and it works perfect. I can unlock and relock W.L. pretty darn quickly...no delays at all.
Then in W.L., I use a simple Iphone style unlock to slide and have that at the bottom of my W.L. screen so my thumb can easily reach. I have many widgets on the screen. (agenda/last caller/clock etc) Then I use a free app named Invisible Lock Widget. You drop this widget into W.L., and you LAYER IT OVER all other widgets except the slide to unlock. (This is one of W.L.'s coolest features)
First off, W.L. should be set for 10secs time out...so less chance of your leg re-triggering it in the first place. 2nd thing, when your leg triggers the screen because it has turned on due to a notification or what-have-you, then Invisible Lock Widget actually re-locks the screen. It's that simple. Sometimes I press the menu button to turn my screen on to look at the time, and 2secs later I click the screen and it quickly and easily turns off thanks to I.L.W. Once you get used to it, you will find it is very convenient and efficient. Like I said, it's a work around and also has other benefits.
Widget locker can be set to suppress the "power button long press menu" if it gets triggered in your pocket. It cannot suppress the "low battery" warning popups that show up above W.L. but the dev might be adding that. (I requested it) I have a Tasker workaround for that. If your running Tasker, I will share that with you. It works like a charm. With all these little workarounds, I no longer do the "Pocket Launch thing".

[GUIDE] How to Add Battery percentage in status bar and modify layout of status bar

Source: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/android-marshmallow-tips-and-tricks/7/
1.) Tap and hold the Settings icon in the top-right corner of the Quick Settings menu. After a few seconds, lift your finger and you will see a popup at the bottom telling you that the System UI Tuner has been added to your Settings.
2.) Go to your settings and into system UI tuner. (it is at the bottom of settings.)
3.) Check the box to Show embedded battery percentage.
4.) Configure the way you want your tiles displayed and in what order under quick settings. Under status bar you can turn off features you don't use so they never show as an option in the status bar.
5.) Done!

I was using this a couple of Moto versions back and kept hoping they would eventually let you replace the battery bar with nothing but a percent, but it never happened. It's so small I find myself blinking to make out the numbers.
Yeah that why I used Gravitybox with circle battery and % but my old eyes have trouble no matter what..lol

Xposed is what I"m going to miss most by not being able to root. I used Gravitybox and Flat Style Status Bar to completely change the status bar around. I have always hated the default Android status bar. I like my clock in the center and nothing but a percent for the battery.
Does this work?

Yes, tap and hold the cog in the drop down notification menu for 20 seconds (edit XT1622, dual sim from Motorola direct)
After reading around on the internet I have managed to solve this. I had turned on the developer option and changed the animation speed to x0.5. This seemed to somehow break the spinning cog.
Having now turn that off again and rebooted the cog does now spin as it should! Thanks for the help.

Did you try turning off the Developer Options? That's what fixed it for me.
I did this on an amazon moto G4 with the stock OEM.img flashed in. The menu shows up, and I can make it show battery% and turn off status bar icons, but, none of the "Quick Settings" changes actually take effect, even after a reboot. Not a big deal, but good to be aware of.
If you would like to have a larger battery percentage than this gives,download Clean UI launcher. In the launcher settings go to components settings and you can select battery percentage. Make sure status bar clear is turned on. This will give you an IOS style status bar. If you do not want IOS styled notification screen, make sure notification clear is turned off. You do not have to use CleanUI as your launcher for this to work. I have tried this with Nova and Google Now launchers.

I did this on an amazon moto G4 with the stock OEM.img flashed in. The menu shows up, and I can make it show battery% and turn off status bar icons, but, none of the "Quick Settings" changes actually take effect, even after a reboot. Not a big deal, but good to be aware of.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's not common, because I have the same phone and looked at another and in both the quick settings take effect.
I also had to turn off battery saver first.
But I prefer it to show % beside the battery icon not inside battery icon, old eyes.
Reboot cell removes %
