So, I noticed the charge bar available in MIUI (and Shostock) and went searching for how to add it in. Needless to say, the editing and coding was quite tedious. I decided to put off adding it until I had the time. Randomly, I stumbled upon this app. A free application in the market, it provides the same, highly-customizable MIUI bar. I had to share. For those who aren't rooted, you're in luck; it doesn't even require root.
*For anyone not familiar with this, it provides a visible, representative bar of your remaining battery above your status bar (location configurable).
It runs as a running service. I don't anticipate it adversely affecting battery life, but I'll edit this post if it does.

If you look closely, it's activated. It's much more visible on your device.

I ran it for several days on ICScrewD 2.0.1 and did not see any unusual/adverse battery impact.
groovy. thanks for this.
Cool find! Thanks;-)

Hey everyone, kinda new here (although not so much to the world of smartphones and computers and all that jazz) and I'm looking for an app to provide a certain function.
I'll explain in words real quick what I'm looking for, and I posted some pics to make it easier.
I'd like an app that adds a softkey to the status bar, much like the home/back/menu buttons that I have in CM7 in the status bar (see img 1, and how it changes in img 2). I'd like to be able to click that soft button, and have a popup of some user-defined apps. I know that I can put icons on the home screen and just push the home button, but I really think this would be a cool app and would appreciate it if anyone could point me in the direction of an app like it or could make one (I do some minor java programming on BlackBerry, but nothing this complex and with my baby and internship I don't have time to figure out how to make this).
I'd definitely be willing to pay for this, so if any devs read this I'm not just looking for a freebee. Althoug, of course, free is always nice
Either way, loving the XDA forums, and need to get my post count up there so I can post in the technical threads lol.

What I imagine the softkey might look like once it's added:
One way the app popup might look:
I don;t care about the look that I made in those images as I do about the general idea.
Thanks in advance

i dont think thats probable from what i know about the android os.
Smart bar allows you to set 'favorite apps'. Good luck!
PS On appbrain it says that the latest version does not work well on froyo; I don't know about gingerbread (I have not used smart bar for a long time).
Thanks case-sensitive!
That's not exactly what I was looking for, but its good enough and will certainly do the trick

Seems like it, also, how can I tell if these apps are on in the background or only draining during usage?
I guess that if you're connected to a network it will constantly be checking for the adds.
Use better battery stats, it will tell you everything you need to know for each app that uses battery.
AdFree? yes, it sure does.
Your posted image, my daily experience along with Biporch's thought, surely it does.
The question is that should we get rid of AdFree or keep it or any other alternative tool that not causing battery drain.
I use adfree to manually update the hosts file occasionally, but leave everything else off in settings.
Try Adaway. Its a nice alternative to adfree
No drain

CollegeProfesor what program is that you are using to track battery usage. Seems very nice.
I do have better battery stats but it isnt as easy to view.

That is BetterBatteryStats. He is looking at the Process view, which can be obtained by clicking on the dropdown menu at the very top and choosing Process. If you are asking about the overall look of the app, seems like he has some ICS-esque theme going on there.
This is just the battery stats viewer that comes with the miui from

You folks could also just place the host file yourself. No ad blocking application required. Though my favorite is adaway. Essentially init.doh adblocking is adaway with 1 more list merged thanks to adaway's awesome features.
Yea, I like adaway because it's open source.
Well, 2, 3 seniors suggest adaway then adaway, here I come
Give it a try.
Thanks all

In Windows phone 8.1, you can individually select your notification sounds for each app.
Here you will find a large collection of notification sounds.
You can not only download the notification sounds.
It can upload each its own notification sounds.
As a result there is always something new.
Find the coolest notification sounds and share your own with other users.
Available in 45 languages
Version 1.2.45.0
Now completely free of charge!!!
First research was hardly purchased the app.
The 5 notification sounds in the trial seem to be the most sufficient.
However, users spend to hear through the sounds so much time, that advertising revenues are higher than the revenue from the sale of the app.
That's why I decided to offer the app completely free of charge.
The first result can be also consistently.
Until last night, a total of 5000 notification tones have been downloaded.
In the last 20 hours, entire 15000 new downloads added.
Among those who have already purchased the app still no ads will appear.
Greetings

Thanks for the app Moses, after installing the app worked fine for the first run, I downloaded the M60 notification and make it my ringtone.
After the second attempt the app hangs on the startscreen. (XTROSE App Studios).
So I turned my device (Nokia Lumia 630) off and on and the app is running without any problems and I could also create my xtrose account.
Maybe nice to know for people who are facing the similar problem and decided to remove this nice app.
Thankz,
Thank you very much for helping
The app is dependent on a constant Internet connection.
If a connection is not possible, so the app can not download the content.
Today is the first day where the app is in the store.
As a result there were very many requests to the server, so that he in short term did not respond.
In the last 24 hours, 30,000 notification sounds have been downloaded
Thank you very much, to all users, for supporting this app
I have a Mate 20 Pro, and I'm very pleased with it (except for slightly unreliable notifications).
I did a search for "optim" isation in Settings. There are 2 options.
1. The green Huawei "Optimize battery usage" which we all know.
2. The yellow "Battery optimisation" which I think is Google's.
Regarding the 2nd one, you can exclude your problematic app from battery optimisation in Google's Android. I noticed most of my Huawei excluded apps were missing in Google's Battery optimisation.
I really like Huawei's Battery app (settings), very good and informative. So, my thoughts are, could running 2 different battery optimisations be like running 2 antivirus programs?
My suggestion is to disable the problematic apps in both battery optimisers. My notifications are working fine now, so hopefully somebody else can try it. It's way easier than nuking Huawei's battery optimiser by ADB.
Worth a try at least. Apart from this, reinstalling the problematic app has helped me. (Google Keep).
Hope this can help somebody!
Hi thanks for this Could you post some screenshots?
Thanks
Tapatalk
No option to include screenshots
It's very easy.
Go to Settings, search "optim"
2 options,
Green one is the Huawei battery App launch
Yellow one is the Google Android Battery optimisation (I think)
Disable (Google) battery optimisation for the apps which are managed manually in Huawei's battery App launch.
Somebody with problems should try this, my notifications are working fine.
I think I have found correct one :
I've attached a screen shot.
Effectively we can see green one and orange one [emoji106][emoji106]

It has been a while since I did this trick so I'm doing my best to recall exactly what the tutorial said. I couldn't find anything via the search function and googling so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction to help me reverse it.
So roughly a year ago, I found a performance tweak trick on (I believe) XDA that required you to use AndroidSDK to change some settings on your phone so that it, if I recall correctly, forced some of the background apps to close (or something similar...I could be completely wrong about what it did). It was a non-root method. One of the key distinctive features of using this trick was that you would not be able to see the power consumption of each app in the phone settings anymore.
Since doing this tweak, android auto would constantly disconnect and reconnect from my car and I suspect that the tweak was causing the problem (Note: I installed the ability to use android auto via a 3rd party tweak and not from the dealer). I did not have any issues with using android auto until after doing the performance tweak, hence my suspicion. I also don't have a spare android to troubleshoot whether the problem is actually my phone. There hasn't been a noticeable difference in performance on my phone either after using the tweak so I would like to reverse it.
Notwithstanding my ability to find another android phone to troubleshoot with, the alternative option would be to do a factory reset on the phone.
@DevlicK
Do you mean you can't access the app power monitor settings on your Android device?

I can, it's just that the power consumption of apps page doesn't show anything/
@jwoegerbauer
Clarification: Battery usage for software shows up as 0% and the Power Consumption Page does not show any apps using battery power (but I can still see the hardware usage e.g screen, gps bluetooth etc)
