Don't worry...it's normal Omega has it's own battery animation.Flash a different ROM nd it will go back to stock.Also,the triple click is there to invert colors on your phone.This is a Omega feature,too.

so is there any way to turn this off because if the phone is off then why does it let me invert colours, also has this happened to you and how long till it goes back to original. thank you

On my CM 10.1.3 I can choose the battery icon style at settings > status bar > battery status style. Don't know about Omega though.

i really hate how it just appeared out of nowhere, i mean it was stock and then it just changed

It's part of the ROM. Every ROM has it's own appearance modifications. Look on Omega ROM thread, perhaps there's a modification to change the animations to stock. Worth a shot.

Numeric Battery?

So, coming from an iPhone, the one thing I really miss is having a numeric battery. I was wondering if I could get the battery percentage on my status bar like I did on my iPhone.
I don't mean apps you download on the android marker that just has a battery notification that keeps displaying the percentage... but an actual mod made for the Samsung Vibrant that shows it next to the actually battery status on the top right of the status bar.
Sorry if I'm missing something huge here. Thanks!
If you check the Vibrant Theme and Apps section, you can find plenty of numerical battery mods.
Here's an example of one:

Thanks a bunch!
Just ran this, and it looks fantastic... much better than that of the iPhone.
The FrankinTwiz ROM has a numeric battery icon. Be careful with the circular battery mod and other mods for the status and notification bars as they clashed for me and caused a startup loop that prevented the phone from finishing the startup.

I will be wary of that. Hopefully this is the only mod I will apply to my status bar... so things should be ok.
With Frankin-Wiz you just have to make sure you flash the correct version to the correct Rom. Been there and boot looped.

Trust me, I started out with this little mod too.. but I couldn't stop myself after that
I'm trying to stay away from flashing ROMs because my Vibrant is hardware locked though.

Downloading. Will let you know in a little while
Thanks. Nice ROM. Icons in the status bar are blurry though. Apart from that, working fine for now.
Also, what file in the framework do I need to change to change the background that shows when we are in the Settings menu etc? Kinda obtrusive the default ones, so wanted to change them.
EDIT: Superuser is denying all apps root access, without any prompt showing up. Tried with both Titanium and Root Explorer.

The icons in the status bar look blurry because i did't have time to resize them.I promise that this will be fixed in future versions.
Maybe the problem with the su apk is caused by the kernel you are using.I never encountered such a problem when i run the tests but i was using my kernel instead.
Please, if you find any other bug, let me know...
Thanks in advance...

I am not familiar with the kernels available for mt11i because i do not own the device...
I can assure you though, that everything will run flawlessly if you use my kernel for mt11i:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1496102
My friend uses this setup on his mt11i for about a week and no problem has risen...
Good rom.for instalations folows next step:
1.instal firmware .062
2.instal this kernel;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1496102
3.enter in CWM and full wipe
4.instal hybrom v.15

I'm going to flash it today, or at least tommorow, and see how the rom is rolling at neo v. Going to report back soon
Edit 1: Okey, I see I have 2 launchers installed at begining. So I'm able to chose which one I would like to use, and just uninstall the another one
Edit 2: A little feedback The picture of background in settings menu is not so good in my opinion, it would be nice if there would be an option that will replace the image as just black background.. And second, the lack of OC option on your kernel

If you want, you can install another stock based kernel with OC.The rom will work fine with it.You will never get OC from my kernel.It's a way of thinking.I do not see it as a disadvantage.
If you want you can install another theme and change the settings background.
Please give some feedback on some other important issues like stability, speed, smoother scrolling, better touchscreen responsiveness, etc in comparison with stock firmware...
By the way, the resize of the icons is almost ready and i will probably release a flashable zip with the fix soon enough...
regarding the kernel.... if we use kernel nightelf is not better then kernel 62???what i mean if i using nightelf kernel can i just flash the u're rom??????

Hybrom is built without a boot image, and it can be installed on an any stock based kernel.
The choice about what kernel you will install is up to you.I prefer kernels without overclocking.
In the end you will have more disadvantages from an overclocked kernel (overheating, instability) than advantages (speed)
I agree;i use boof kernel and everythings work perfect.

I always wondered how will Diezel's Sony Sketch font look on our large screens
p.s. that font is not used in SE logo, it's created later based on look of SE logo
SE logo was made just as a logo, it was drawn.
To be honest it's a bit thin Not sure if we(on android) can change size,formatting of fonts.

Looking forward to see that, as when using this rom I feel somehow strange, like things aren't properly sized
Also in sms, icon in upper right part, for new sms, is a bit to large. Same thing happened when I tried using conv. app from xperia S.

-stability, hm ok didn't experience any problem.
-speed, speed of each app is ok, but switching between apps is slow, I would say to slow. for example when i receive sms and pull down status bar, click on it, sometimes it need 2,3 second to switch to sms.
-smooth scrolling is ok (why just ok? well maybe didn't pay much attention to that )
-touchscreen responsiveness, well I noticed one annoying thing, usually on stock, when light turns off ->touchscreen is off, and you can wake your phone with only hard keys. In your rom you can wake phone even touching on (turned off)screen which lasts only 2-3 second after it turns off. That wouldn't be a big problem if not only you wake it up but you actually press something
Also I noticed low number of free ram, I guess it's because of launcher and maybe other stuff you used.

About sonysketch font:I really didn't know which of the two came first.The logo or the font...
Useful information.
About icon resizing:Icons in the SystemUI.apk are resized and a flashable zip containing the new resized SystemUI.apk is uploaded on the first page of this thread under the "USEFUL CWM FLASHABLE ZIPS" section(SystemUI.apk is the one responsible mostly for the icons in your status bar).Framework-res.apk is now under resizing and it's half done.One or two more apks. and everything will be o.k.
About conversations.apk:The icon (for new conversation) is like the one from xperia s because this is the xperia s conversations.apk.It has nothing to do with resizing...
About screen going off:The screen after about 20sec gets dimmer.It doesn't turn off.It turns off after 30 sec.In this 10sec interval you have the chance to fully wake your screen only by touching it.After the 30sec have passed you will have to press the (hard) home key to wake your screen.
About free ram:Please give me some numbers... (I already have improved this feature in the upcoming v16)
P.S. i do not own an mt11i,so testing is very hard (a friend of mine owns an mt11i,but i do not see him often).So, posts like the previous one, are very useful for me.Please give me some more feedback and i may be able to bring neohybrom at the levels of the original hybrom...

About screen, if you didn't changed levels, it should dim like stock, right? I know about that, but I'm not talking about that.
I'm talking that when screen goes off(really off, no dim) you can still wake up phone by touching screen.
About rams, hm, I moved back to stock, so can't check real numbers, but I remember after some time it gets down to ~70-80, it doesn't get freeup, and i didn't even used much apps, regular calls,sms,gtalk, 1-2 times browser.
only after I use one of those widgets from GO(sorry don't know name, as I don't use it usually) to kill apps, it only goes to ~130.

100% full screen tablet mode ?

does anyone know of a way to run the note in tablet mode in ICS 4.0.4 so all my apps display in 100% full screen?
Not sure if there's a way to do it in system. I know for sure you can do it with most home screen replacements-launchers.

oh, like which?
I use APex launcher and it has an option to hide the status bar. Nova has it too.
Iam currently using sslauncher.

Apex settings.
Cosmo D from outer space!
I came to rock the human race!
You have to freeze it. The only free option I have ever seen is an app called "AntTek App Manager". Now when you freeze the statusbar it will keep popping up a FC but to fix this freeze the status bar and after it disappears defrost it and it should still stay hidden til you reboot.
Another vote fo using Apex launcher -- it has the option to autohide the status bar in phone mode (dpi of 214,or higher) .
Now, Tablet Mode (dpi of 213, or lower) is a different story. For that, you'll have to get with the ROM developer to implement a hide button. (Hybrid ROM has this).
I guess what I really want is to run the note in tablet mode so it is 100% full screen (I dont need that black bar at the top of the screen that displays the clock, battery life, cell reception/bars, etc)

Which ROM?
OnlyOne ICS ROM Beta 4*HYFR*for AT&T*Galaxy Note*...
Hopefully there is a mod like this that could preserve the quickpanel
You should go with CM9, AOKP, or The Hybrid if you're looking for a functional tablet mode. OnlyOne isn't gonna cut it...
Will any of those preserve the quickpanel and are those ICS?

Yes, they're all ICS, and I *think* the 15toggle mod works on Hybrid...maybe. I'm not sure whether or not there is a version of it for the others.
Warning: you will lose S-pen functionality with CM9 and AOKP, but not Hybrid.
I suggest you go read as much of the Hybrid's thread as possible. It's slightly more complex than what you may be used to.
Good luck!

Does SSlauncher work in tablet mode? I've toyed with it a little before on my evo, but haven't tried it on the note yet.
Yes Sir, it sure does.
aokp has a setting for this i used it all the time on our rom,
paranoid has it aswell as im using it on that one aswell.
just search settings when you use roms you find all sorts of things not mentioned

[Q] Battery % mod

Hello XDA members,
I am using Omega v19.2 ROM and I love it, but there is one thing that won't let me sleep. I am used to Stock Battery (green battery without any percentages), but Omega is using mod called "Battery % mod". Is there any way to get back only stock battery without making any other changes in status bar?

@K0wneD: I tried that, I can live with gray status bar, but problem is that there are missing toggle buttons in notification bar like Torch or Sync. Is there any method to have Omega's status bar with stock battery?

So I also upgraded to the V13 and my battery icon went back to stock. Though I realize a lot of time and work was put on to get JKay looking as good as is does, I'm not a big fan of black and blue things around my screen. But yet installing JKay, with everything it has, was what gave me options to change my battery icon. Maybe this will help you Marcus.
I have one more problem which may not sound that tough BUT is such a normal feature that you only understand how important it is when it doesn't work. My clock failed to open. Tried many things including changing settings of app to 240p but no go. Set to 320 and nothing. You tap to open, the top clock bar loads and it thinks for a bit then crashes.
I have just reflashed V12 and clock works again. I'll keep v12 now until a solution comes up OR a v14...
Cheers! =)
