[Q] PAC Rom - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've installed the PACman rom to try out, I've plenty of experience with other roms so installation no problem.
My problem comes from one of the features (no idea where it comes from) where I've got a float round semi-transparent blob on the left hand side of the screen which seems related to notifications somehow. It wasn't there initially, I think I pressed something in the notification bar to bring it up.
I find it annoying and gets in the way, but I can't find in the options how to get rid of the wretched thing.
Since I don't know what it's called, searching is pretty much useless. The thread in the development area posts to a place for "new to", however that's a dead link and I can't post anything there to ask or get that corrected since I don't have enough posts.
Can anyone help?

My guess is that it is Halo. Have not tried PAC so can't help u to get rid of it but guess there is a way to turn it off. Good luck
PS. try longpressing it and see if you can delete it.

The above poster is correct, it's called Halo. To delete, double tap but don't let go of the second tap. You can then drag it up, to a red circle at the top of the screen and delete it. There will always be an option to turn it back on, from the notification shade though. That's unless PACman has an option to completely disable it, I know Rootbox does. Watch this video to see what it does/ is intended for, it's more than just a notification manager http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5WljHcOyXs

Thanks for the info, I managed to get it turned off again. I'll come back and take a look at it properly later, see if I can get used to it, or find a way of making it more to my liking.

[Q] miniCM7 - Disable grey splash notices?

Hi, I am not sure how else to describe them, there those little grey notifications that apps sometimes splash across the bottom section of the screen. There use seems to be controlled by apps as dont' remember anything phone direct coming up most common one is the one I see about apps getting root access..
My question is simply is there a way to globally turn these off as I dont really like them or care about what they tell me, running miniCM7 2.1.9..

no way to disable atm
but you mean you won't care if the phone says something important like formating sd by error or anything ?
when the phone talks, it's better to read ;-)

Keyboard icon in status bar when typing on LPQ ICS

Anyone know how to get rid of it from showing?
Ive spent hours trying to figure it out, so annnnoyed
Supposedly it's part of the "ease of use" in ICS, as people apparently were too stupid to long-press the text box before. I'm hoping for a fix for it too though, since it's pretty pointless (could be moved back into the long-press menu hopefully).

Damn stupid people gotta ruin it for us.... Thx for the info.
I got no keyboard icon left.
But dont remember which of these deleted it.
1. ICS system ui? Click here
2. Delete talkback and all those?
Quick search of XDA and im not he only one with this problem.
Any chance of a fix or instructions i can try? Im on LP9 VK ROm.
Technically it's not a problem... just an esthetic you don't like.
Suppose someone will come up with a removal (if it isn't available yet), but I haven't noticed one yet.
Might have to do with keyboard you're using though. Have you tried another to see if it still shows?
Mine only shows when actually using the keyboard to type, otherwise not there.
Agreed. Just a visual annoyance, popping up everytime i type.
Installed Swype via the beta installer and that triggered it.
I think Wanam can help you !
Try to send him a message
that icon is in the systemUI I think, what is not, if you can remove ...

[Q] Screen size issue

Running themer on my stock G2. I really like it but have an issue when often upon waking up the phone, the icons are shifted down and off the screen a bit. This ususally corrects itself after a while. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Sorry for the links not working, apparently I haven't posted on the forums enough. Thanks.

Is the issue just with Icons or does it happen to the widgets as well?
Do the themes you use have the status bar locked in place, or is it hidden until you slide down to display it?
I have yet to see this on any of our test phones.

It happens with the status bar shown or auto hidden. I've attached a couple of more photos of similar issues using other themes. In the one with the white back ground, check out the clock hands. It seems that it may be related to wake up? After I unlock and my home screen appears, the home buttons kind of slide up from the bottom. You can actually see the screen sort of adjust after the home buttons slide up. Sorry again for the links not working directly from the message. The forum won't let me post links just yet since I haven't made enough posts.

Ahhhh... those shots were helpful, but you mentioning the fact that the bar slides up from the bottom is really interesting and may just be the cause of this issue. We unfortunately do not have a G2 in the office to test this on.
Here is what I am thinking. If I run my N5 with a Paranoid Android Rom, or any other that allows me to remove the software navigation keys and replace it with the ring navigation, the aspect of the screen;s drawable area changes as far as Themer is concerned. In essence it makes my N5 a GS4 or HTC1 to Themer.
What I think may be happening on your device is very similar. I believe when you unlock the phone the aspect ratio of the draw-able area on the screen, may be reporting back to themer as larger than it really is, then the software keys finally slide into place and Themer takes a few seconds to realize the it.
Ill bring this to the attention of our Devs and see what they think.

Just a little more information. I think what you describe happening is correct. I was playing around with "Blades" set as my theme. After I unlock (pattern) the home buttons slide up and you can sort of see the main background adjust to the new screen size. It just looks like the widget parts don't adjust. If I long press and then change the default home screen to 1 and apply, it reloads the theme and everything looks OK and everything is in place.
I also noticed, if I sleep the phone with an app open, like the browser, it wakes to that app. The home buttons still slide up upon waking but when I return to my homescreen everything looks to be in place.
I hope this helps you guys troubleshoot. Other than this small issue, I love themer! Thanks! Let me know if there is any other information I can provide to help you sort this out.

			
				
Same issue on LG 4x HD... i hope the devs solve this problem, cuz it's really great app, a way better than buzz launcher. Keep the good work guys. Issue seems to be like some incorrect columns vs. rows settings or maybe just the resolution 1280x720is not supported ?

For all of you still having issues with the LG device.
We have a work around for you.
This is NOT a fix from our end ... yet, but it will resolve the issue on your device.
The fix is pretty simple, you have two choice.
One, turn off your lockscreen on your device.
If this is not an option for you due to security concerns, then you can simply install an alternate lockscreen app from the market.
The LG lockscreen on these devices is the culprit, disabling/replacing it will fix this issue.

Stop Full Screen Pop up Notification

I originally posted this in the AW forum, but no one has answered up. Anyone know? Thanks!
I'm sure this is a simple fix, but it has confounded me, so I turn to you for some help. How do I get the Moto on the latest version of AW to vibrate like normal, but rather than display the full screen notification, just the smaller card across the bottom? There are times on the 46,, Moto I don't want the message displayed without me swiping up to display it. I've looked all over and I can't find that setting.
I can see the whole "hide cards" and what not, but when I get a new notification, it fills up the entire screen.
Thanks in advance!
I don't think you can disable that, it's how wear works

Navigation Bar Bug - Android Pie

Hi there,
I just received the update from Samsung via OTA of Android Pie. After it was concluded, i noticed some strange translucid bars on both sides of the screen. At first, i thought it was some kind of bug related to the Edge Panel. However, when i slide it, it shows the navigation bar buttons.
I couldn't find anything like that in any other XDA post, nor Reddit, nor anywhere else. It doesn't seem to be a feature (or maybe it is, but too advanced for me) and i'd like to know if you have faced something similar. You can find the evidence, here:
drive.
google.
com/open?id=

(new members can't post links, apparently)
If there's no workaround this, then i'll probably just factory reset it.

Look for "One hand operation+" app and you can disable the side navigation handles there.
