My friend is on CM7 for the Evo 4g. He wants to know if there's any way to increase how long the lock screen stays lit up before it sleeps again(like when you light it up to check the time). I've personally never seen any option for that before, and honestly never cared about it but now I'm curious.
So does anyone know where or how to change that setting? I'm not adverse to modifying a few system files here and there if necessary.

I had the cm7 a few month ago and i think i can remember that u can change it in the cm settings.
I know the settings are huge =) but anywhere in there i think under the topic where u can change the way the screen is locked (not the one in the system settings go to settings-->cyanogenmod settings)
Let me know if i was right
..
Go to settings --> Cyanogen Mod settings --> Lockscreen --> Delay and timeout

Hi,
I just got my Phone yesterday. I am still playing with it but found some things which won't suit me. They are,
1- How do I disable Conversation type SMS Inbox? I have gone through Settings, but no option is there. Is there a Code or something which will Disable Conversation style SMS Inbox and Enable normal Inbox-Outbox-Sent-Draft pattern SMS Inbox.
2- How will I change the Lock Screen Wallpaper? I can't change it, if I click on, Settings-Display-Screen display-Lock screen Wallpaper only Camera and Gallery options are opening but Select Wallpaper from Wallpaper Gallery is not opening which has the built in pictures and I want to use them as my Lock screen pic.
3- Is this Power Saving Mode stuff really does anything on the battery to save it? Are you guys using it?
4- At what Brightness are you guys using the Phone generally? I am using on Auto Brightness but it takes a while to activate.
5- Please tell me One good free application related to Battery Status? I mean I've seen an app which shows the detailed Battery percentage on the Task bar instead of the Default battery icon?
6- Is there some Secret Codes for this? When I had my Wave S8500 I used to use some Codes, eg- *#8740#, *#5239870*# and etc.. I'd specially like to know a Code related to screen contrast. I mean imo the Contrast is really heavy and rich, which I don't like, on Wave there was a Code (I forgot) which gave an option to Enable and Disable some features like DNIE Technology and etc, so is there same type of Codes available for GS II too?
This is my very First Android device, and especially when coming from Bada it seems like I am in the middle of Pacific ocean and can't see anything. So if I've asked any stupid question please do pardon me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Saurav.
1) i like the conversation style so didn't bother to change or look for the settings
2) u can change it if u root ur phone and u know the codes to change it or just use a custom rom found in the forum. some of them have a way to change the lockscreen
3)if you set the settings properly it works..but not that well
4)i have disabled my auto brightness and put the slider on the lowest..saves battery.. (keep in mind that in sunlight brightness needs to be increased)
5)i use quick battery widget
6)no idea.. reduce the brightness ??

1- I don't like it and I need to change it.
5- I didn't ask for a Widget but an Application which will change the default battery status icon on Task bar to a detailed percentage term.
1. not sure you can.
5. app called battery indicator.

1- . I can't believe it. It has to possible somehow.
2- Thanks. I downloaded it, it's showing the percentage on the Left Top corner of the Task bar, but the default battery icon is still there!
I downloaded an Application called SMS Composer, which does not have Threaded SMS. Cool. Still will look forward for a better app.
I recently flashed the latest version of Cyanogenmod on my g tablet and I love it. Everything works great except one thing...
There's no lock screen that appears when I wake it up or turn it on. It skips the unlock gesture, and the lock pattern that I set. I don't care about the first unlock so much as the second, since this thing has my google account information in it.
Has anyone run into this? I've checked every Cyanogenmod setting and regular Android setting I can think of:
CM Settings: Lockscreen Settings: General: Style Options: Rotary
: Lockscreen Gestures: None checked
Locations & Security Settings: Screen Unlock: Use Visible Pattern: Checked
: Change Screen Lock: Pattern set
Any ideas?
ETA: I should also add that the tablet doesn't seem to go to sleep on its own. I've changed the setting for screen off to 5 minutes.
Have you tried Settings --> CyanogenMod Settings --> Tablet Tweaks --> Disable Lockscreen?

Face palm. Thank you. I didn't think to look there. That was the problem.
Sheepishly,
Apocalypse Cow
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.

No matter what I set I to as soon as I close my screen and reopen it, it makes me put in my pin again. Wish the delay would work.
A suggestion...If your going to do this put everything in the OP. Edit the OP as you find things you want to enter on it. Then give it a bump when you edit it with new additions as posts in the thread. Make your instuctions easy to read and idoit proof....someday youll have it as a Sticky

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.

Quick Setting toggles in Paranoid are awesome, I really appreciate how they work.
However, I miss the option from CM to edit the toggles behaviour, intended as which options the toggle can show.
In my specific case, I would like to:
- remove the Device option from GPS toggle and use just Low/High precision
- remove LTE from Mobile Data Switcher, as I have no 4G traffic (I love Italy for this things... and sarcasm) so I can have 2G and 2G/3G (someone maybe prefer 3G only)
If anyone has any other preferences, write them below, I'd apreciate if others have my same thought.
Feature requests belong in the bug tracker

Will try to understand JIRA in this case...
also, if we could get an update on that quick notification settings so we can decide if left or right edge of screen shall pull it down.. not just random.
thank you
@Pirateghost I can't register on JIRA; is that normal?

Re: Option to limit Quick Settings toggles
Whenever, I start my phone, all the toggles are there. The other best thing about this I had discovered is in order to remove them, one can simply turn off the toggles via notification switch or just via uninstalling the entire app.

Hi,
is there any way to change the quick settings bar to a more Sense like style?
I came from a HTC and i really miss the option to see all relevant settings at one screen and can quickly change the settings and not only switch them on and off...
Thanks!
If u long press the toggle the settings page for that toggle appears
