Without having to flash a whole theme.. anyway to just get battery percentage mod on CM7?
I use "battery notifier" its only 55kb in size and requires no permissions, it gives u a little battery icon in notifications and u have the option to place the percent on that little icon I dont think you will be able to mod the actual icon or do much to to the status bar without a flash

Yeah actually i have the same thing, but i hate wasting a spot in the notification bar when there's already a battery gauge available.

Doesn't seem like cm7 is supported for any of those. But I found a mod that works from the general android theme section.

Second theme down

I already removed the 'theme manager' and all that business. There really isn't any flashable zip like the bar battery floating around? I have it set to always show on my lock screen, but locking and unlocking to see my battery percentage is getting old.... :-/
I figured it would be included in cmparts, but it wasn't. Was there a reason for that?

I don't think that Cy cares for it so it wasn't included

Looks like it'll be showing up in nightly 5!
I don't care much for the themes so that's great.

Really? That's very interesting...it's such a simple improvement. Who wouldn't want to know their battery percentage over just a shaded battery icon? It's practically useless. I can't tell the difference between 50 percent and 30 percent...it looks the same! lol

I'm with you there. I'm not much of a 'theme' guy. If I want something changed, I'll change it..but I'm not one to change everything just so I can have the battery percentage. I had it on the stock mysense rom, so I'll just wait for it to show up in cm7. ....sigh.....one can only hope....
The auto-brightness on the thunderbolt doesn't work very well as it is almost always too bright. when i'm in a super dark room it seems to still be running at 50% brightness, which is far to high.
CM has a way to tweak the levels of auto-brightness by way of adjusting what screen brightness setting is assigned to a certain level of the light sensor.
so it seems clear that there is a way to bake this into custom roms.
Can this be put into a .zip file so that we can just update our current rom instead of flashing a custom one?
I've gathered some information that this should be in liblights (or something similar) and possibly in the kernel as well.
If anyone is willing to help me bake a custom rom that is a unique rom i'd much appreciate it, but i think the community would benefit as a whole if we found a solution for everyone.
I agree with you 100%, the auto brightness on this phone is wack. Completely dark room in the middle of night and the phone's screen is so bright it hurts my eyes.

Yeah it WILL NOT dim down to min in a completely dark room. I'm dying for CM so I can fix this. I use the power widget in the notification dropdown thanks to the Das BAMF ROM I'm using to dim to min at night sometimes.
I tweaked the auto brightness levels to be lower in my rom if you wanna check it out.
Very nice thank you for the post

If you're looking into a rom anyway i know a lot of them have this feature (im on viper and i know it does). I hear it can cause some flicker in your capacitive buttons but im not sure if thats just on vipers implementation or if its the file responsible for the animation. NOne the less i barely ever see flickers and when i do i have to actively be looking for them and even still its not a full on/off but more like a sag in brightness.

There are some apps on the market that let you choose different power off effects.

Hey LitoNi, I really like what you have done on yours. Im trying to achieve a similar minimalistic style.
If its not too much trouble, Could you post all the widgets you used and how you got to change the icons?

okay umm
clock: Advanced Clock Widget
calendar: Simple Calendar Widget
calendar (on home screen): Minimalistic Text
the shortcuts: Simple Text
data counter: 3g watchdog (paid version)
battery: circle battery widget
Its really hard for me to explain to you how i achieved it. I really spent alot of time figuring out whats this and that. I would recommend you try to youtube it if possible. otherwise i would be writing an essay explaining how to use the app.
no worries, it took me hrs but im sure you can understand it without any issues

Use simple text and add a Shortcut, not a Widget, you can then move to the dock

lol thanks
the circle battery widget doesnt show how much time left till full charge or what. it just charges and the number goes up. ex. 45,46,47,48...
and you can just set what ever color you want depending on what you consider is "normal" "warning" "critical" "charging" and "charged"
the attached file shows what it looks like with the hollow circle and full circle

yea basically what he said.
add(press and hold on the homescreen) > shortcut > simple text
or
add > widget > actions > shortcut
it took me a while to figure out the coordinate so that the words lies ontop of the line.
i think x-coor=0 and y-coor=110. text size was 40.
and dont auto scale it ruins the word. ;l
Hey guys.. i was wondering if its possible to pull down the notification drawer from anywhere with a mod, like if you in a game or some other app? similar to the iphone. I'm on cm10 and i like its launcher so im not looking for a change in launcher. thx..

I'm afraid not. That kind of actions are highly unlikely to be modified by custom rom builders like cyanogenmod. Not entirely sure, but i believe the notification bar shows up when you activate the app switcher by holding the home button. That way you can access the notification bar in a rather quick way.
In apps like Camera yes, it's possible in ParanoidAndroid, but in games notif. drawer is hidden and it's forced.

Hows the battery life on that? screen on time? usage? thx
not many voice calls. Around 12-14 hrs on average with heavy usage. Get around 3.5-4 hrs screen time.
