It can be easily removed if you don't like it.

Hi, on my Head Unit 800x480 the "Volume Bar" is not displayed in its entirety. Left and right the icons are not shown and the background is completely black.
I will soon if possible a photo to upload.
Thanks
Sorry for my bad English.

Yes, please attach a screenshot. Also, would you tell me what ROM do you use?
PS. Strangely enough, nobody else reported any issues with this simple mod.
Hallo
My ROM is "updateKLD800x480KK4.4.4.rk3188.150820.150821"

So I see that the icons are not fitting entirelly. This is related to screen DPI you have. Your ROM - is is a stock one or some custom ROM from this forum? I never used stock ROMs, reflashed to custom one almost immediately. Most custom ROMs have setting for screen DPI, not sure if that's true for stock ROMs. I'd suggest you to play with the DPI, just raising it for a minor value should help.
But what do you mean when you say "the background is completely black"? On your photos, the background looks like it should.
The ROM is here on the forum.
Thanks a lot for your help. I will try it with changing the DPI.
With the black background that was my mistake.
EDIT:
I've changed the build.prop
ro.sf.lcd_density=240 --> 225
Now it looks good. Thanks a lot for your help.

You wrote that you had DPI set to 240 - this is normal setting for the 1024x600 screens as far as I know.
For 800x480 it should be something like 160 or 180, don't remember exactly.
Anyways, it's just for your information, and it is up to you to choose what is better for you.
Okay thanks
I installed this in my RK3188 1024x600 unit and while I get the cool new volume bar when I use the volume slider from the notification panel, it doesn't display when I use my volume knob. Any ideas?

can you make an option to move the volume bar from the bottom to the middle? I have the one knob unit on the left and when you turn the volume rocker your hand blocks the first 30% of it.

Have no idea. For me and everybody else it works.
Maybe check to make sure you don't have anything conflicting installed, I mean any modding Xposed plugins.

I don't like an idea of adding options screen for such a simple plugin.
I'll think, maybe I better compile a separate version centered vertically, it seems to be simpler a lot.

Unfortunately, no. All the graphics in this mod are the PNG images. To become green, they need to be redrawn and replaced in resources.
I'm afraid I don't have any motivation to do that, you need to understand: this was only a simple mod for myself, that I decided to share.
Also, the white is the color that fits any color scheme, this way it will satisfy the most audience (unlike green, red or whatever else)
For instance, I have a Volkswagen with all the buttons and gauges on the dashboard highlighted in red.
Still, I didn't choose this bar to be red, because white is good enough. But green would be a total crap for me.
By the way: in the xposed repository, there is a link to my github with all the source code of this mod. Anybody may feel free to fork it and make any changes they want.

In the Xposed repository, there is a link to full source code of that mod (Github). It is free source, everyone can fork it and do whatever he want.
You can install the Android Studio and compile these sources in it.
Or, you may take an approach with the software like APKTool which allows you to unpack APK files, change resources and repack it back.
Anyway, you'll need to learn how to do either, on your own.
Sharing my little work, I didn't take any responsibility as to provide any further support or even teaching people programming At least, I don't have time for that.
Those little tips are worth it . I.m going to work at this. Learning is a process

For anyone who missed it, Google open sourced the official lights and sensor libs. Attached is the update.zip with official colorful LED lib. It's just about functionally identical to mine, but they have some better color mapping, and the white is finally white! Just flash from recovery and enjoy.
Special thanks go out to lilHermit, his app gave me a lot of insight into the LEDs, and metalhead8816 for helping me through some tough code, and Google for releasing the official code.
Root is required...
This is how it works:
- Screen on: incoming whatever - one white flash
- Screen off: notification - one white flash, then colored flash
- SMS, Gmail - green
- Missed call, twidroid - cyan
- Incoming call - rapid white flashing
- Incoming call while on bluetooth - rapid blue flashing
** Please read **
This file offers no customization because it's only an interface. What this file does is allow apps and the system to set the color and blink rate of the trackball and the trackball obeys.
Also, I cannot guarantee support for Desire roms. I know nothing about how the Desire is supposed to handle notifications. If HTC didn't try to do something fancy (read: stupid) with the notification code, then this will work as advertised. I have no plans to use or test this on a Desire ROM myself.
Attached is a real update.zip that I made myself. No waiting this time. Flash from recovery and let me know what you think.
ChainsDD said:
I pieced together a new led driver that shows colors on the trackball. Everything seems to work as advertised and it should work on any ROM.
It's being pulled into CM, so if you run that, you could probably wait for the next release if you want.
Other than that you can grab the .so here and push it to /system/lib/hw. It requires a reboot to take effect.
Note: This is not an update.zip. I'm too tired to put one of those together. just extract lights.mahimahi.so and push it with adb. or someone else can make an update.zip

thanks for the hard-work it'll be great to have the trackball work the way it should have from start. I put together an update.zip but its my first time putting one together just kinda edited and re-signed another zip file i had, i flashed it myself it didn't have any errors and seems to be working but standard disclaimers apply make a backup flash at your risk im not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
updated the file its the new one 2/22
edit i forgot that there was issues with the screen being on and color changing properly the zip works fine
edit removed zip to prevent confusion

no problem glad to be of some help. i cant code and i'm poor so gotta give back to the community somehow
Awesome!!! Thank you!!!!
How do we change the values for different situations, (calls, sms, email etc...)???
this is awesome!!! Thanks so much
How do you mess with the different colors or can you not do that?
are there any options or something to mess around with? I don't notice much of a difference. Rather than 2 white pulses, I get a pinkish flashing. anyway to adjust?
Tested. Works fine.
I might sound dumb but how can I tweak the colors? Right now it blinks pinkish on startup but i hate pink
My guess is that the color is specified in the program itself, the same way that a LED notification light would get it's color.
But hey, at the moment the pink flashing matches nicely with the Carebear recovery released earlier today...

Colors shown are up to the apps that send the notifications. So far I know that email and sms are green, and twidroid is light blue.
I just put together a fix for the pink, stand-by for that

Hi,
Here is my first theme. This is mostly to pimp out the status/notification bar on the droid 2. The zip file contains instructions. Mostly just a bunch of stuff ive/found stolen from other themes and some elements of my own. Let me know how you like it. The services.jar replacement can be dangerous so you should know what youre doing. The theme itself should be ok. You will need Metamorph and root of course.
Current version: 0.7 - Download Here

The letters and clock mostly. the images are all in a dark grey that would be tough to see so it would be nice to have all the icons(3G, vibrate, silent, battery, signal bars, text message and email) done in a white/light grey as well. I understand that is a bit tougher to do. I could make the images if I could rip the current ones off my phone and just use photoshop to change the colors then repackage and install. but I dont know how to rip, repackage or install. so I just wanted to use his method with icons I would make, assuming this is possible.

if you give me the images i can prolly make an installer for you, but you should maybe enhance your knowledge on this stuff first before you try to do it as these things can be dangerous.

It is possible however you would have to have a theme to work with first. You would then decompile the APK using a tool such as APK manager or you can open the apk directly using something like Winrar or similar. You can then navigate to the folder of "drawable-hdpi" which inside the "res" folder. This is where all the pngs are held.
well i was gonna release v0.8 for the green 2.5 vzn rom by angdroid, but i like the looks of that fission rom that they are working on.. maybe ill do 0.8 as planned and do 0.9 for fission once they are done with it.
fission seems nice and clean
Intended for people interested in custom wallpapers and developers preferring speedy approach to settings,or any other app related with it​
There is no degradation in quality....as its single-colored....settings and phonebook work like breeze just like in jelly bean

My bad, I really sorry for messing up my question. My original request I intenteded was to have a black background rather than green. Your theme is blue foregound and green background.Request is only on theme not on button. Sorry for that.
So it would good if we have a themse with combination something like White Foreground - Black Background, Black Foreground -White Background, other two combinations are like both white and both black.
Sorry for giving you big request, but that themse would be something I haven't seen anywhere
-SeneoV
Ok i will come up with something like that combinations....thanks for idea
thanks...I will look forward to have your new theme...

Hi there,
I'm new to XDA so I apologize if I am posting this on the incorrect forum.
I have Oppo F1 Plus (in some region it is know as R9) rooted and running on Color OS V3.0.0i Android 5.1 lollipop.
Using the code qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 (which pre-existed in the buildprop) I enabled myself the onscreen buttons.
Using root browser I turned off my recent and back hardware buttons and 'keyboard backlight controller' app to turnoff the backlight.
However, the onscreen buttons' opacity is way too low. I would assume around 15-20%. I tried using various apps like 'navbar app' and 'softkeyz' but both failed me.
Is there anyway to increase the opacity of the onscreen buttons to max using buildprop or root browser or any other method?
Thank you.
Im sorry to say but there isnt.
By default the On screen button should completely be opaque completely.
Try Downloading any theme for theme engine if possible.

Oppo has a pretty close OS and there is little to none development for this device.
I really want to change the notification panel and onscreen button color. but none of the apps are working.
I think the root cause for your problem is the Color OS
Due to high modding , The Framework has been completely modified and because of the fact you dont need a on screen button , they must have left it as it is.
So to fix this , you have two options:
i)Mod Stock rom by yourself
This is a difficult to do process because you have to deodex your stock rom and then you have to decompile and recompile your framework-res.apk
ii)Try Cyanogen 12.1
Cyanogen is an Open Source Android OS which is the most used Custom Rom.
Cyanogen is Completely debloated and provides you high customization
http://community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=50132
Cheers
Thanks for replying,
you are right about the framework, since my onscreen buttons do not recognize landscape mode and keyboard.
I know about custom roms, however with this build of cm12.1, I would to lose my sim calling capabilities. I guess next time I will buy a phone after researching on its support in XDA.
Thanks!

You're welcome
I suggest you to buy phones with Purely Stock Android with No or less modding.
Mostly they have the highest support from Devs
And yeah , Avoid Mediatek as much as you can.
They dont provide source codes and it is because of that there is no Dev for Mediatek.

Is it possible to pick a new color other than the default orange? I probably want a blue or something, but I don't really want to mess with framework apks. Is this yet possible? I did check the asus theme app but I did not see an option for that.
Yeah. Use the themes app, go to my themes, and then find the create button. If you can't find it I'll reply with more info
Put a blue picture as background and make the theme, change your wallpaper back after.
