Hi, long time lurker, new poster.
I couldn't find any info on the G-tab forums on this, so I figured I would ask:
I am just wondering if any of the devs have considered tweaking their Froyo ROMs to replicate the bottom status bar tweak found in CM7. There are a few Froyo ROM's over on the Nook Color forums where this has been implemented (i.e. Nookie-Comb or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999214).
It seems like a mod like this would include the best of both worlds; smooth flash and the bottom status bar tweak similar to CM7. Just curious if it has ever been considered? If a Froyo ROM implemented this, I would probably hop back on that because of the speed and smoothness, but honestly I'm jonesin for the tablet tweaks in CM7 (mainly, bottom status bar), making my ROM of choice a GB ROM with choppy flash.
Any thoughts? Please correct me if I'm out to lunch.
try downloading the new VTL Launcher by GoJimi...its pretty nice

I agree! I did ask this in the Vegan thread and have received no response on it yet.
rbansal2 - I already use VTL Launcher and it is great but I like the CM status bar along with it.
VTL makes for a better tablet experience that's for sure.
Having bottom status bar in Caulkin's ROM would be mighty fine though.
VTL + button savior is a good alternative for the time being..
i read that the status bar at the bottom causes issues with the keyboard. Thats why they dont do it.

First of all, thank you so much to the amazing developers working on vibrant! I cannot tell you how much joy you've brought to me and my phone.
There have been so many good ones, but I really want to give a particular shoutout to the Simply Honey Devs as well as Einherjar Development for making two of the best ROMs I've ever used.
I would not love my vibrant nearly as much without you guys! I only wish I had the skill to develop, but I just don't. My brain not smart enough for that.
Okay, my question is this: has anyone made a working option to remove the status bar clock that works with Simply Honey or other 2.3.x ROMS?
I have not updated to 3.8 yet, only tried 3.6 (love it!) Then I had to check out Project V (love it!)
Let me know if there is a solution. I hate that notification bar clock with every fiber of my being.
So right now I'm running CM7.1 nightly, and I'm in love with it. I went to UnNamed for about 2 hours a week ago, and I couldn't deal with the lack of customization. Now, this is my first android phone in a while, so I was still learning the new apps and tricks.
Now I realize I can change the lock screen using WidgetLocker. The stock lock screen is the MAIN reason why I'm not on a stock rom such as S8. I've heard nothing but great things about Mikey, and I really want to try out his rom.
So now that I know I can change my lockscreen (from the tacky and rather stupid looking stock, to a more customizable sophisticated one) I just want to know a few things.
Flashing Themes. In CM7, it uses it's own Theme engine and I can download themes from the market and flash em via the Theme Chooser App. For these stock themes, I have to download from a dev thread on here, or is there a "database" of themes?
CM7 I can customize the status bar to display The Full carrier name, wifi signal strength in dB or bars, etc. Can I do that with stock roms? How about Battery Percentage? I read that the circle percentage app/mod didn't work with S8. Is that true?
Finally, How is the battery life in S8 compared to CM7?
Thanks for your help guys.
Only had a really quick look online and couldn't find anything for the Atrix 4G, (the reason why I am asking here.)
In CM7 there is an option for Tablet Tweaks. In there you can place the status bar at the bottom of the screen. The problem is it only does that, it doesn't add the Navigation Buttons.
Adding the Navigation Buttons to CM7 is possible as the feature is in CM7.2 Nook Tablet Build. This feature would be really handy for people that own the Lapdock.
At the moment its a bit of a nightmare moving around the menus etc. while using CM7 with a lapdock without the Navigation Buttons.
I was hoping someone has already had ago at this and could share what they did.
I have been setting up the Atrix 4G as a HTPC/Retro gaming device with the lapdock. CM7 is perfect for this apart from this small issue.

You may install one of the Paranoid Android builds, you can find these tweaks in there (tablet mode, phablet mode, hybrid...)

I kinda need to use CM7 for the 3D hardware. The phone is pretty much dead now as we are not going to be getting ICS. So I decided to turn it into a HTPC/Retro gaming device.
Problem is if I use the Paranoid Android builds things like Netflix, Onlive and Splashtop won't work. So for my little project I need to use CM7 as it is fully supported with the HW.
I am back to Speed Rom 8.0 and absolutely loves everything it has to offer. There are minor bugs which can be dealth with if you want a stable, fast and battery saving rom.
Only thing which annoyes me (not ROM itself) is transparent notification bar and status bars. How can I go back to default like in Sense 3.6?
Is it possible? I did search and didn't find anything useful. Its probbaly becasue everyone likes transparent but not my style
20+ views and no reply?
Well while playing around I found settings to change background to any image (my fav all black), its in app called Energy Tweaks installed with SpeedRom.

Glad you found a fix for your issue.,. I have yet to find one for mines.. Do you have any idea how to get the stock battery icon? i don't like looking at the percentage
Did you try flashing the stock battery icon zip ?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
yes i've tried that but it just gives me an error, when trying to flash in TWRP recovery
Hi,
I´m using Hairybean 2.2 RC1 and JB 4.2 launcher. It seems really good but with couple questions concerning the new notification bar.
The upper bar, where notifications and quicksettings are, hides with some apps. Eg. MX-player and games. I cant open them without going to previous apps selection or home.
Is this a more of an apps developers problem or just an feature in the new launcher? Or could it be a problem in ROM?
I haven´t tried any other ROMs cause, I have a replacement digitizer which inverts the X-axis. With Hairybean I can use that invertaxis.zip kernell.
And big thanks to flumpster for that!
I´ve tried to search the forums for any comments on this matter but could not find any.
I do like the new notification bars, so I would prefer to keep them. Don´t wanna go back to the old 4.1 launcher. Although the movement of the back/home/recent apps- buttons to the center wasn´t so good improvement.
Thanks for any comments. My first post. :victory:
