Guest blademaster123 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 Electra is based on Cm10.1 so it has a theme engine
Guest tillaz Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 OK, I remember you telling me that you wanted customisable soft keys, so could you put some settings in electra to change the framework res to make the nav bar a predetermined colour, for example you click on nav bar (in Electra settings) then choose your colour, it then modifies your framework res to make the Navy bar yellow. Or is that too complicated? like in aokp, fully customize the buttons with any image from the sdcard to get this kind of thing in CM you would need to do it from source, the soft keys i'm using in the screenshoot's are from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2005937 ZTE Grand version
Guest tillaz Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 Ok, I only have 2 more things I need to do now. 1) Get my DPI changer working - for some reason, my shortcut to the DPI changer doesn't work. It just FC's, but making a manual activity shortcut for it (with nova/adw) works fine :blink: Yeah, I have no idea. A logcat tells me that it is something to do with permissions: Android: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: start Intent [/code] If anyone has an idea what's wrong, or needs more info, i'm here 2) That's about it :) can you send me the (DPI) apk & the code your using to launch it, and i will take a look
Guest george109 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 No sorry, I'm not going to let anyone 'take a look' inside until its actually out, and even then I wouldn't really want people taking a look. Some guy on Anzhi tried to steal lightning ROM, but luckily I got in contact with one of the members and managed to get a new thread opened, with my name of course. Ok, That's Fine :) I'm not insinuating that you would steal it though, please don't get the wrong idea as you seem like a nice person :P :blush: thanks :)
Guest george109 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) Hi Kyan, Also how about along with the data speed info; a battery time remaining indicator that shows the amount of time left when off the charger, and how long it will take to charge on the charger. That would be really useful, and it would also make Electra even better, and I think lots of people would use that too :)Also, another idea that I had today that you could include is like in the galaxy S3 where you tap the top of the notification bar to go to the top of what you are reading, and also where you can use custom voice commands to wake the phone up like in the video (http://goo.gl/24RaX) but I guess that would ruin battery life :P Also, an idea that I had could be where you tip the phone to scroll, so in an email, you flick the phone down and it scrolls down, but I guess that would be really difficult to implement.....

Guest kyan31 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 can you send me the (DPI) apk & the code your using to launch it, and i will take a look Actually it's fine now, I'm using a different DPI changer which actually works better. I really need to update my posts when I don't need the help anymore :P

All of those things would be difficult to implement (for me anyway), as I said before i'm not experienced enough to 'create' my own mods etc. The only thing I have created completely from scratch is some apk's using eclipse.
Guest kyan31 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 What about themes choices like cm with Electra? It has the theme engine, it's CM.
Guest kyan31 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) like in aokp, fully customize the buttons with any image from the sdcard to get this kind of thing in CM you would need to do it from source, the soft keys i'm using in the screenshoot's are from here http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=2005937 ZTE Grand version OK, I remember you telling me that you wanted customisable soft keys, so could you put some settings in electra to change the framework res to make the nav bar a predetermined colour, for example you click on nav bar (in Electra settings) then choose your colour, it then modifies your framework res to make the Navy bar yellow. Or is that too complicated? It turns out that CM already has the option to customise the navigation buttons, but those options only show when you enable navigation keys in the build.prop. All the other features that AOKP seems to have are not there, and I would'nt be able to add them. Keep in mind that I have only been developing for just about 4 month's I think, and that's from very little experience. And anyway, as tillaz said I would have to compile from source to enable these kind of features. That involves me rebuilding CM, and while Daz has all of his sources available, it would still take a while to do. I want to get electra released asap so this really isn't a good option :P Edited April 9, 2013 by kyan31

Ah well, I am definitely going to flash Electra when its released!
Guest kyan31 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 I wonder what files Tillaz actually used to have the 'statusbar internet speed meter thingy', maybe he would like to tell me so I can use it in Electra, *wink* *wink* :P

Guest yaqh Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 Yea silly me i shouldnt have asked.will wait further notice.
Guest kyan31 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) See if you could get the day thingy as well Maybe, I personally don't think it would work well as my clock is centered. Actually thinking about it now, the internet thing probably won't look good either :ph34r: P.s I added a custom made LWP tweak, and now Electra is really smooth even with a Live wallpaper, and extremely smooth with no transition (which I usually have it one).

Guest kyan31 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 Snip Oh, and could you do something for me? Could you design a new image for the easter egg, it's just two images. Design something that is quite casual, not too casual though. If you have more time, you could design more than one so I have some options :P Here are the 2 images if you do want to design them: DOWNLOAD
Guest tillaz Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 i will make a guide for the data speed thing soon, (you would be best having it as an add-on, until it can be toggled)

But I could see how rubbish that would look with a centred clock... Edited April 9, 2013 by george109

But if you ever need any stickmen, PM me! I always ask PCTechRoss for my designing needs, everything like the wallpapers an some UI elements are done by him. He's really good with it so I can always trust him :)

But I could see how rubbish that would look with a centred clock... Yeah i'll probably make a zip to recenter the clock, as well as adding the internet meter.
Guest kyan31 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 OK, Electra is pretty much done now. I don't really think I can add anything else ;)

Guest wlad0 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 Try looking in the init.d folder, maybe something there is causing deep sleep. Why would you want to disable deep sleep anyway, you battery would be crap without it :blink: I'am look at /etc/init.d/ and /system/etc/init.d/ and i found file S98system_tweak. In this file a found: setprop ro.ril.disable.power.collapse 1 setprop pm.sleep_mode 1 i change this to: setprop ro.ril.disable.power.collapse 0 setprop pm.sleep_mode 0 and reboot but no luck. Via CPU Spy I checked CPU states and the device always go to the deep sleep. Is there any additional settings for governor and IO scheduler? Does anyone have a similar problem with wake lock delay?
