Hello
First I would like to thank bharat_goku for this awesome ROM, so thank you
Now lets get to the business
1. Sometimes I have an odd problem. Apps that are installed not from the market force closes. On some apps this problem fixes itself after half a day or something like that. Magic, isn't it? I remember reading in some ROM thread that broken APK signatures may cause force close problem. The question is how can i fix it?
2. Is there a way to replace current transparent status bar to default one?
3. Is there a way to remove recent apps from notification box? It really feels sluggish now and lacks some space.
4. Is it possible to get default 2.1 lockscreen running? If so, what would I need to do to get one running? However this is more like for experimentation
5. Is there a way to *lock* apps like Phone and Messages in memory so they could always respond as fast as possible. I remember them being auto-killed on some roms... I currently didn't experience such behavior on this ROM since I didn't get any calls but I would like to be sure
6. I suppose I could manage to find this one easily but since I'm asking already... Where could I find old market app?
7. I'm thinking of making swap file and enable Compcache since GB eats memory pretty fast. I've seen them doing magic on Heroine (Sense 2.1) ROM. I'm gonna try these tweaks when I find some spare time... Has anyone tried something like that on this ROM? Was it worth it?
Well I think thats it for now. I'm not afraid of (adb) shell so if some answers involves using it that would not be a deal breaker

3. you can download and install "Remove recent apps from status bar" under Options from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090186
4. you can try this lockscreen for Wildfire which is similar to default 2.1 lockscreen for Hero, download and install "Wildfire Lockscreen" from the same thread mentioned above.
Cheers!

I found that if you select the slate skin, you get the status bar back and the whole rom feels faster. I also like the blue button highlights.
Thank you for your answers
Prof Peach I am currently using Slate theme but it just doesn't feel right

I have found out that this problem is related to sd-card. It seems to be mounted as read only and some programs force closes when they cant write to that sd-card. I suppose this kind of stuff should be defined somewhere (maybe some ini file). So now the question is how can I make it writable.
P.S. I doubt it's my cards fault since I can access it through recovery USB mount without any problems.
P.P.S. I cant mount sd-card as disk drive through ROM.
P.P.P.S. I am also using LVX 0.6.2 so that may be a problem... I'll try flashing 0.5 when i get home
I guess I'm gonna need to reflash the ROM <looking for encouragement >

1. I think I've fixed it. I reflashed the ROM without wiping everything and now SD card works as it should, no FC's after that..
2. I have changed theme to Slate and then just accidentally changed back to default theme and the status bar is not transparent anymore
3. As stated few posts above the mod from SalsaSense works perfectly.
4. Same as 3.
5. It does seem to work well so I think it may not be needed here. However it would still be interesting to have some information about this.
6. Seems that old market app does not want to work with this ROM.. Oh well..
7. I've found out that compcache is not compiled into LVX kernel (or not enabled) so I could not test it out. About swap I did not test it either since atm my sd-card is too slow to even begin with something like that.
I hope this information will be useful to someone.
However I still have some issues... The phone drains battery in a day or so while doing nothing. Thats odd since with older sense 2.1 roms I could manage to push 3 to 5 days with light phone usage (really light, like 1 call a day, 3 texts and 10 mins browsing and of course alarm clock). However I did not use LVX kernel back then and governor was ondemand where now govenor is smartassv2. So battery life may not be entirely roms fault.
I'm gonna try to wipe battery stats and see how it goes then.
EDIT: Seems that wiping battery stats helped somehow. I don't have any idea how battery stats works, seems strange...

Well the thing is I used Slate theme from the beginning and then after having problems and reflashing ROM without wiping any data etc I changed theme to Default one. Since then the status bar is just like the original one, no transparency.
I have also flashed a mod that removes recently used apps from notification bar so maybe that has something to do with this. Strange.

If you want the normal statusbar,just flash the battery mod from the optionals in the cdma thread....

not really it reverts it to the default statusbar which is not transparent....
anyway i've removed the transparent status bar in Rose V4 so it shouldnt be a problem now on...
I made a simple Xposed module which causes all notifications to be initially shown in their expanded state inside the notification drawer. (The stock behaviour is that only the first notification is expanded.) Notifications may still be contracted manually and will stay that way.
There is no settings activity. This module just does one thing for now.
Requires Jelly Bean or above with the Xposed framework installed.
Props to @rovo89 for the awesome Xposed framework!
You can grab it from its Xposed Module Repository page.
Said it on my thread and I'll say it again, you are my hero!

Great job, this is a thing I wanted for a long time, and is one of the last 3 things I want to see implemented with xposed (the others can be done without, but AFAIK xposed modules don't use as much ram as standalone apps)
this is something that has bugged me since 4.1. my first notification will be something like email or app updates and ill get a text message and cant just hit reply or make as read without first expanding the notification. one of my top annoyances fixed! thanks, you made my day. all these xposed modules are solving all my problems with android, soon i wont have anything to complain about... im giving out thanks buttons like candy.

Mine would collapse just before clicking whichever button and I would end up clicking the next notification down. I'd have to expand it twice - the second time, it wouldn't collapse.

Great job! I like this module!
I have 2 remarks :
1. Could you let the "permanent" notification behaves like by default? Or offer the option in a settings page?
2. Ideally, there would be a settings page in which we could choose the behavior for each app/package independently...
Thanks

Do permanent notifications have special behaviour in regards to being expanded or not? Let me know exactly what you mean and I can investigate!
For your second suggestion, I have already planned to do this, but unfortunately I think it will have to wait at least until the new year. I have already been naughty working on these modules when I have a million other things to do!

Thanks for the quick reply!
1/ Permanent notifications: they behave differently than other notifications, yes.
Default android behavior (at least here on my JB4.1.2 TouchWiz ROM): you cannot expand them with fingers
With your module: they stay expanded, but then you cannot wrap them with fingers
It's like there is no other interaction possible other than clicking on them. You cannot swipe them away, and you cannot expand/wrap.
So the issue with the module is that the notification stays there wide expanded when sometimes you don't need it, and there is nothing to do about it: it will stay expanded.
Solutions?
A. Ideally... if I can dream... would be that your module allow expand/wrap interaction with these permanent notifications...
Is that possible at all???
B. Backup solution would be to allow a setting to choose to expand or not these permanent notifications
C. A 3rd way to go would be to just let permanent notifications with their default system behavior. After all, we mainly need your module for the temporary notifications: emails, test msg, etc...
Solution C is probably the easiest to code? And would be enough for users (at least for me).
2/ No hurry for the second suggestion. Good to know you plan having this. Will be patient!
If it were put to a vote, I'd vote for C - ignore persistent notifications. B as a second choice. But either way, they need to be manually expandable. I just tried and, he's right, they are not expandable.

I guess perhaps I don't understand what is meant by "permanent notifications". I thought you meant any notification which cannot be swiped away, but I just tried with Google Music and Power Toggles, and both notifications can be contracted and expanded with my module running.
So could you provide some examples of permanent notifications which you cannot contract? Thanks!
@egingell, are you also on a TouchWiz ROM? If TouchWiz notifications have different behaviour, then I'll have to figure out how to support it - right now I'm just working off AOSP source code.

Strange... You understood perfectly what I'm talking about: those persistent notifications that you cannot swipe away...
Well I refer to "App Dialer".
It places a persistent notification. I have 2 other persistent notifications. When the 3 are there, the 2-lines App Dialer one wraps up. Then impossible to unfold with 2 fingers.
With your module, it stays open. Impossible to wrap up...
Can you make a try with App Dialer?
Thanks

I'm going to shed some light on the subject of "permanent" or "ongoing" notifications.
On my S4, with stock TouchWiz Android 4.3, ongoing notifications behave just like other notifications, they are just grouped separately. If there is an ongoing notification that can be expanded, it is expanded by default when the notification shade is opened and all other notifications are collapsed. If there isn't an ongoing notification that can be expanded, the first regular notification is expanded by default.
On my Note 10.1 with stock TouchWiz Android 4.1.2, however, if there is an ongoing notification that can be expanded it will be expanded by default and cannot be collapsed. All other behavior is the same.
On my Galaxy Nexus, which obviously ran AOSP based ROMs, I never remember having an ongoing notification I couldn't expand.
I do not have any mods or exposed modules effecting the behavior of the notifications on either device.
I'm assuming egingell was referring to the behavior on the devices in his signature, so it looks like between 4.2 and 4.3 Samsung changed the behavior of the ongoing notification expansion, and I would assume this only effects TouchWiz ROMs because I don't know of others that group ongoing and regular notifications separately.
EDIT: Make that somewhere between 4.1.2 and 4.3 (See eginell's post above)
I don't know if it's noteworthy, but if there are 4+ notifications (re both 4.1.2 and 4.2.2), persistent and temporary, none are expanded automatically.
Also, I have never seen my ADB WiFi persistent notification auto-expanded. I've always had to expand it myself. Even when one of the other persistent notifications didn't load and there are no temporaries.

Thanks everyone for the information! I will definitely look into this, but I'll just warn you that I don't have any experience with supporting non-AOSP platforms, and won't have any way of testing, so it might take me some time! As with per-app settings, I probably will not have time to work on it before the end of the year (I'm quite busy right now and leaving for a long vacation in a week).
can you consider in adding an option not to expand the first notification (usually the ongoing weather) otherwise :good: job buddy!
I was mistaken when I said JB 4.1.2 (I was thinking of a different mod).
At any rate, on 4.1.2, ADB WiFi's persistent notification is auto expanded with this mod and I can expand/collapse it manually.
And on 4.2.2 with this mod enabled, ADB Wifi's notification is not auto expanded and I cannot manually expand/collapse it.
Both TouchWiz.

Just thought I'd post my findings.
Running 4.2.2 stock based rom on my Xperia Z, all seems good.
All that can be expanded are, and persistent (in my case I used Walkman whilst playing) started open, and I was able to close then up if I wanted.
Walkman is definitely persistent, as I can't swipe it away, unless you're on about a different type.

Hi guys.
Does anyone have XBLAST Tools (Xposed module) working on our device. I'm trying to get it to work but for some reason changes don't take effect when I reboot. I just need someone to tell me if it works for them. THANKS!
I had. Some things work, some doesn't work. Don't know why.
Could you tell me which things worked (not specifically, just overall e.g. build.prop, status bar mods, etc.). I'm asking because non of them work for me because I did something to my phone.
Thanks!
Some status bar mods and some tweaks on build.prop. I don't remember because I don't use Xposed anymore.
Thats all I needed to know. Turns out I messed with build.prop too much
I've looked this up extensively when Lollipop first came. I tried getting used to the Android Lollipop+ style to change sounds (Sound, vibrate etc) which is usually through the volume button.
I want to see the old way of changing sounds that we all know in KitKat and before, which was through the quick settings, I want to see this on Android Lollipop and after.
I never liked the way we change sounds on Lollipop+, and as this is Android, I expected I could find mods but I couldn't. I searched for that in Xposed and even looked for Lollipop ROMs (AOSP of course) that would support the old way.
I found a blog that has a mockup showing the old sound toggles in quick settings on Lollipop. I think the blog was made as a request?.
See request #1
http://androidsuggestionsmockups.blogspot.com/
How to get these toggles that we have used for years?
Thank you.
*sorry for the long question...
Why haven't anyone answered? I really want ton know... Please!
As far as I remember gravity box did it for me, and also learn what's patience
How exactly did you get that from Gravity Box?
