Ics status bar

Is it possible to get the ice cream sandwich status bar on a different rom one that does the sliding away notification by swiping your finger. I really want it. Any stable way to get this mod would be appreciated very much.
Thanks

But keep an eye on Themes section while you wait for ICS release .

That's not an ICS feature. I already had that on my old Gingerbread rom that I used. The one in my sig. I think it's a CM feature, but it could also be something that Adam G added. Don't know for sure.

Its a CM7 or ICS feature. Only way to get it on stock roms is to wait for ICS.
ICS launcher works with GB and IIRC it has a similar feature.

thank you
nice work
Is this just a theme for creed rom v2.5 or iCS themed rom (update of v2.5). If it is a theme i will use it I like ICS but it is themed ROM like cyanogen clone rom i won`t use it because the creed rom v2.5 is still developing.
When will we get to see this theme? Looks nice!

ICS For our ace

So we have CM9 and AOKP can someone please port the stock ICS? Even better maybe with Sense 4.0 overlay it'd be epic
First and foremost...CM9 (and thus AOKP) are not complete..the 3.xx kernel and camera are still left and it is still in beta stage...
secondly..maclaw did say AOSP ICS is coming soon...so wait...its already been thought about by the devs...
first of all cm9 without cm tweaks(the settings , theme chooser and trebuchet launcher?) = stock ics
so if u want stock ics experience dont use the cm tweaks
secondly sense 4 sucks it doesnt look at all like ics so it is a huge no-no for most users
thirdly
peace out

Totally agree, think all manufactures should stop making there skins and use AOSP.

Rather Disappointed with Official ICS for SK17i

im quite disappointed at what sony did with ics. the gui alone is not up to expectations. it looks exactly the same as GB on the surface. Sony could have done so much more but they stuck with the old. been using kamarush MINICMSANDWICH Lite AOSP with kamarush v2 kernal before i flashed the official ics. the minicm lite is so much beter. beter battery life. smoother & cleaner interface. the app drawer is so much more efficient. Sony just took GB gui and overlayed it over ics. compared to the icslite, the official one just looks like crap. Flashing back to miniicslite as i type this.
Cant wait to get the miniics lite update!!
This goes to show XDA people are beter and more advanced!!
Kamarush amazing ROM!

This is not true. You find the common things in Xperia GB and Xperia ICS becuase both are having the Timescape UI.
If to the contrary to what happened in reality, you were given with Kamarush's ICS ROM from the day one you owned your cell phone, you would love the ICS update by Sony. At least the UI.
The performance obviously is cooler in custom ROMs. That's why they are made at the first place. For better performance.
Anyways, it all depends on for how much time you used a thing. You get bored very soon. And thus you have the cool custom ROMs out here in XDA.
So, instead of signing with my usual thanks, I will sign as...
Happy Flashing,
Rick

i guess your right, but i just cant help but feel the timescape ui looks very clunky and square. the stock google ui is so much beter imo. sony could have tweaked the ui rather than just port the ui. but yeah thats what all the custom roms are for!! cant wait to see what the crazy roms get cooked up now that the official roms are out there!!
Actually the four cornered interface that sony uses, utilises the space available in small screens pretty well That's why they stuck to it. I don't think this UI will be changed. This is the most efficient IMO Well opinions differ. That's why some guy started rooting and modding
For me,it doesn't matter as I like Gingerbread and this ICS UI is same like Gingerbread but what dissapoint me is the ICS don't have the ICS toggle at the status bar T.T I saw many ICS phone with the toggle button but our ICS don't have any,but I'm glad they make the setting button on the status bar...

I did like most part of the ICS update except for these:
#1. There are certain areas in the ui which don't blend with the adjoining panels well.
#2. The light sensor is not used for automatic brightness and so now I'm stuck with fixed display brightness.
#3. The widgets still leave a lot to be desired.
#4. New camera ui is horrible.

I liked the update, as Sony stated in its blog, most features of ICS were already implemented in GB by Sony, but we have the most up-to-date Android version with all its bug fixes (and I mean BUGs, not simple cosmetic stuff, I'm talking security bugs) with the same known, useful and space aware UI. Not to mention apps compatibility.
I really dont care about the interface colors and stuff, even the camera is way easier to handle the way they did, not much clutter like some vendors do, and the shots are still awesome.
So far didn't hit a single bug, no FCs, no reboots, its rock solid, stable and even battery efficient, I'm getting the same battery time as in GB.

There are no toggles in the notification area in stock ICS. Just check Nexus S's or Galaxy Nexus's official ROMs...

As I know just Galaxy phones (except Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus) and some Sense3 HTC devices have toggles out of the box...
I think you saw a picture of a CyanogenMod build, because with these ROMs you can have toggles by default.
I've seen toggles in notification area on HTC One V, stock ICS. Looks quite nice, would love to have it on my LWW.

I personally don't like the toggles though. It's very samsungish to me.

I think i saw simmilar mod for GB, i doubt it would be a problem (for modders) to do it for ICS
there are toggles on the stock ics on the nexus. im on the trebuchet launcher with miniics lite and it has the toggles too. its an easy mod to do anyway!
btw i really like the trebuchet launcher. best launcher yet! looks very nice and very smooth!
I feel performance is apparently decreased compared to GB stock rom. Even games like Fruit Ninja & angry birds which ran butter like smooth on GB now have got some frame skipping or gliches. Its a bit annoying for me however I'm quit satisfied with new features.

Now you can see the size of the photos... went from around 500kb to even 1.8MB.. they are not madness compressed anymore, therefore some quality was added.
Oh, and Xperia Ray got toggles too!

Jellybean taskmanager for Ginger Bread

Is there a way to get the Task switcher like Jellybean on Ginger Bread. I did have jelly bean on my SGP , but it's way to glitchy and too many bugs.

4.2.2 is very stable for me and the only thing that doesn't work is rear cam.
anywho, you can emulate it with this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sImNvbS5BSUQuaWNzamIudGFza21hbmFnZXIuZnJlZSJd
but it kind of sucks
also, this doesn't really belong in development
oops ^^ that's my fault for not looking .. should've posted it in themes apps instead, sorry . But thanks for the app will try it out.
