[Info]:
Alright, as requested here is a remap of the silly faves button on the espresso launcher. This is from the CR_Mod 2.2 espresso build. However it should work fine with any rooted 2.2 non-odexed espresso.
This will allow you to re map it to open any app installed on your phone, or various system settings, or open a quick launch box with a selection of 8 or so apps. I did this method over on the G2 forums as it is easier than mapping to each individual app requested - not to mention even better since you can remap it any time on the fly.
You MUST have the launchkey app installed. It is available on the forums for free here, or better yet, help the developer out and buy the one on the market for a mere 0.65 cents. It's dirt cheap and it has more options!
[How To]:
Install the launchkey app from above
Grab the attached file below
Boot into recovery
adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/app/Rosie.apk
adb push [your saved file location]\Rosie_espresso2.2_custom.apk /system/app/Rosie.apkReboot
Thanks dude!
Edit: Any way to change the icon to the one of the app, or at least back to the default faves one?
So how exactly do you change the icon afterwards? I mapped the button to the Browser, but it has the standard menu button on there.
Don't think it will work on CRmod froyo because it.is deodexed

It works, both CR_MOD 2.13.xxx and this version are deodexed meaning they are compatible without any issues!

I'm assuming find the image in the res folder of the apk and change it to match your app. You could download and rip them off of the 2.1 method. The contacts, messaging, etc.
Works like a charm! Thanks a bunch! I know beggars can't be choosers, but is there any way to set up launchkey so that you don't have to long-press the button?
Oh, and if anyone's wondering, I'm running CM 6.1
For those looking to change the icon, I changed it to a generic one, but you can change it to any icon you wish. No, it will not adjust its own icon, as there is no way for sense to do that. Here is what you need to do:
-Create the icon.
-Replace the one in the res/drawable-normal/icon_add_rest.png with the one you made.
-Push the rosie back to your phone, and you're good

No, this is the same way that I did it with the 2.1 CR OTA. Only this time I mapped it to an app that launches other apps I had started doing individual mappings with specific icons, however everyone wants a different app. Even something simple like mapping it to the browser ends up with 3 or 4 different possibilities because people use after market browsers.

I'm confused here
If you're not on ESPRESSO SENSE, how does it work like a charm? Did you think this thread was about the launchkey app specifically? Did you think I made launchkey.apk? Did you think this mod was for CM6.1?
This mod will only work on espresso 2.2. If you're on CM, this MOD will not work, only the APP will work. The APP (LaunchKey.apk), as is linked in the OP, is made by someone else, not me. Requests to the function of the app may be directed at him. I merely edited the code in Rosie.apk so that it launches the app instead of Faves.
Yes I know, but after I pushed rosie.apk the genius button launches the app I set up, like it should. I must have read the thread wrong, and for that I apologize, but there's no need to be hostile/angered/annoyed or whatever. The fact is, it worked. Thanks for the mod regardless.

Nobody is angry or annoyed. I just asked what i thought were possibilities, because I find it hard to follow the train of thought with out answers. That aside, you are correct this is for remapping faves button. I'm also confused as to why you pushed rosie on a CM rom?
Because I've owned my slide for only two months and have absolutely no clue what rosie.apk is, haha. I'm an engineer, not a computer programmer, I just dabble in these things and learn as I go

Ah, I see. Well thats why I asked! Answer the questions, or ask your own, and I'll help out.
To keep it simple and short -
The sense user interface, made by htc, is the biggest version of android next to vanilla (just basic google android). However because of the extensive changes to the system framework that they did, the sense specific apps (with a very few exceptions) will not work on vanilla android. However, its a one way street, just about all vanilla apps work fine on sense roms.
The 'espresso' ui (what the mytouch slide ships with) is just a slightly smaller/modified version of the regular sense ui, with only a few changes, and follows the same restrictions.
CM roms are based off of the vanilla roms with tons of changes and modifications.
So.. Rosie.apk, what this thread is modifing, is the sense ui's launcher (home screen) and therefore does not work on vanilla (CM) roms. Its only for those still running rooted versions of the stock rom.
Simple enough, thanks for the info. I've been trying to get into the more nitty/gritty side of Android. I've already started brushing up on my Java to fool around with some programming, but it's kinda hard when you have absolutely no experience with linux! It helps to have people like you who are willing to take the time to explain to a noob like me what I'm doing wrong, haha.
Oh, btw, sorry for hijacking your thread...
works also with odexed Standard-Rom
Works like a Charm also with Standard odexed 2.2 Rom! Thanks a lot!

Having owned my EVO since November of last year, one of the mods/apps on my phone that has been with every ROM is JsChiSurf's power control notification bar. It is THE most useful and crucial apps I have on my phone. Although I know there are other 'widgets' on the market that "sort of" replicate it, JsChiSurf's mod is the only one that allows you to have access to any of the power controls you frequently need from any screen quickly and easily, whereas, with most power control widgets, you have to go back to the screen where the widgets are located.

My Photon is arriving today and since it doesn't appear JsChiSurf made the jump to the Photon, it's the one mod that I'm going to truly miss. Because of that, I was wondering if any of you talented developers out there knows how to port this mod to the Photon? I'm willing to pay a bounty ($20, via Paypal) to anyone who can do it.

I agree. This has always been a great feature on past rooted phones. This type of mod is also included in CM7 and is better because you can change them on the fly without flashing and can have more than 6. Either way, would be nice to have.

Brother (or sister if you're female), thank you for pointing me in the direction of that app. I just installed it and it looks like the concept was modeled on JsChiSurf's notification bar (and considering the developer was from XDA, I wouldn't doubt it).
I just installed it on my Photon and it seems to work the same way. In fact, it's a bit more user friendly in that it allows you to select which toggles you want on the notification bar from a menu selection, rather than editing a text file. And although I haven't tested ALL the functions yet, so far, most are working on my Photon. I now have room again on my homescreen (temporarily had widgets installed) and can now access those functions from any screen.
Again, thank you very much! I guess I need to pull my head out of my *ss once in a while and take a look at what's new on the Market.
Try Widgetsoid from the market. It has the option to put the widgets in your pulldown. Works great

I tried this for a while. It's nice, but the Photon doesn't support the all-in-one notification, so each control takes a notification slot. It's nice, but I'm still holding out for Power Control Notification.

It's still uploading, but hey they're taking care of it.
Apparently it requires 16 GB of RAM, 250 GB empty disk space, and some other killer specs to compile.

HTC's fault. They gotta spend around.. hmm... couple months to integrate sense ui, and for View customers they gotta wait for Sprint to get done with it too.
well at least this will open up things for some neat custom ROM tweaks. Especially since ICS is based off HC and we already have working kernel and radio.
I see that the Flyer is not among the devices that Cyanogenmod develops for.
Is there any hope that someone will put together an ICS mod for Flyer?
I like HC but I don't like the permanent status bar and I don't like the way notifications work. ICS is much more suited for the flyer for these reasons. I would take stock ICS over HC with Sense even though I think that Sense is really cool.

For Cyanogenmod, we need to find a lead developer to bring the Flyer into the fold.
If the status bar in HC is one of your big issues, you won't like ICS any better. It's still there and works the same, can dim but not remove the bar.
"Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich System Bar and Action Bar
These are located in the System Bar - present in all apps - and enables you to navigate instantly to Back, Home, and Recent Apps. Virtual buttons are present across all apps, but can be dimmed by applications for full-screen viewing.
You can also access the contextual options for each app in the Action Bar at the top of the screen."

I have not seen anything that indicates there is an option to remove the bar. Google considers the bar "permanent decoration". You can dim it, not remove it.

It seems that you're right and that I was mistaken.
It also seems that on tablets, ICS notifications will work the same as they do on HC. That's too bad because I reallly like the pull down notification screen. For a 7" tablet, this works better than the pop up notifications on HC. I also still like the task killer. It is crazy that it is so difficult to close Apps on HC or earlier versions of Android.

I guess that's the answer to most questions.
There is really no reason to close apps unless they are misbehaving. Running a task killer just fights with the internal android task manager which works very well in HC.

What you are saying may be true from a technical perspective but enough people want this feature that Google has added it as a standard feature of ICS.
For me, it is just a housekeeping issue. Once I am finished with an App, I don't want to see it unless I need it again. If I am working on three things, I want easy access to those three things. I don't want to see some game that I played yesterday or the image of some website that I last visited.
Ok, I wasn't clear. Some people obsess about trying to close all tasks to free up memory, which is fruitless and fights the system which is trying to maximize memory use so that task don't have to be reloaded when needed. That action using a "task killer' is bad, makes the system lag and use more battery. Closing individual apps that you are done with and that don't need to run for background data is fine and there are many good applications on the market to do that, just be careful about automated task killers.
It would be nice if someone were to start a CM port for the Flyer. If HTC even does do an ICS update (unlikely, in my opinion), it's sure to be much later, considering Honeycomb is still not out. I'm sure there will be ICS ROMs for the Flyer, though...just maybe not CM.
Ok guys this is a idea i had awhile back.... im not really a aosp guy most of you know that but, i figured if we were going to get a stable build that is sized right and a good chance of getting data to work fairly easy it would be a port from Samsung google Nexus.... now ive only put a couple hours into it so its not that great at the moment but ill get it as stable as possible with time... this thread is meant for testing, feedback, and for anyone who wants to add to the build fixes and so forth.. everyone is adults here and i know we can work together well...
that being said this is a port from a rom romanbb built for nexus called "AOKP" i have alot of respect for him as a developer and that is the main reason i chose his rom to port... so big thanks to him!!!
now to buisness like i said before not alot of time put into this yet all i did was booted it and play around awhile... rom is stable meaning "no reboots" needs alot of tlc
what works:
it boots
all hardware buttons
touchscreen
Note:as of now you have to use the built in touchscreen mouse to navigate thru the rom... i tried to turn it off but i am new to ics and aosp and i couldnt find a option to do so... if anyone knows pleasedo tell... just tap the mouse circle drag it to what you want to use say app drawer then tap it and the app drawer will open... i should have a solution for this once i have more time tomorrow after work...
what dont work:
data (not for long)
camera (easy fix)
audio
sd card
wifi
phone (forces closed because it tries to turn on radio annoying but can be dealt with while you play with the rom)
probabaly alot more but limited on time to test today

you must also flash a gingerbread boot.img or PH98IMG.zip in hboot to be able to boot back up.
So, you would:
wipe /system in recovery
restore nand
boot to bootloader and either
A) fastboot flash boot *namehere*.img orB) flash a gingerbread PH98IMG.zipreboot
???

I'm assuming you are on stock rom, if so you cant. Custom roms like Omega have 15 toggle mod you can add or remove whatever you like.

Thanks for the answer
Yes I am currently on stock ROM - I used CM9 nightlies for ages on my S2 but didn't like them as much as the S3 stock. Maybe I'll try Omega (have recently installed the kitchen part of it anyway)
Would you say Megga is better than CM in your opinion?
It's impossible to say if a rom is better or not. I've been using AOKP roms on my galaxy S II but I can now say I like original Samsung roms more on the S III, I even use touchwiz which would've been unthinkable on the S II. I'm on Omega Rom. It's basically stock but with upgrades. Been using other roms for a few hours too because Im a flashaholic but keep Nandroid-ing back to Omega. First time Samsung did a great job on interface IMO
Well that sounds good, I'll give it a go later, thanks
Out of interest, does Omega have the ability to cancel an app by long-press of the back key? That's something I miss from CM9...

No, it doesn't but as you probably know, long press home and press Task Manager let's you kill tasks.
I liked the idea of long press back key, but was never happy with the execution - I was constantly killing apps that I didn't want to by tapping back too quickly. Clearly CM wasn't checking that you were holding back, but rather that it was pressed at the start and end of a certain time period.
