Hey so i'm a die hard AOSP/AOKP user. but the roms running for this system are quite hard to get super stable because we don't have the source kernel to tinker with. So i thought i'd start a thread about some things i particularly like about AOSP and see if we can bring them to Sense and then maybe we can get some converters. (like me if we can get this right haha)
1. I like the AOSP lock screen i like the fact that i can have 7 different apps i can unlock to. As well as weather. is there anyway to get the AOSP/AOKP lock screen on. Or atleast be able to change the sense lock screen so the icons are something OTHER than what you have set on your rosie bottom bar.
2. toggle in notification windows. i'm a one handed user. So the quick settings just isnt cutting it. I'd like something that is smaller easier and faster as in on the main screen of the notification bar. Like CM9 or AOKP.
honestly after that i dont really have that many complaints. not sure if anyone has anything we'd like to add so maybe we can make a AOSP/AOKP -esqe Sense rom.
Sorry if this feels like a gripe. I think i'm just slightly tired of waiting for AOSP and hoping that a sense one can take its place with a few mods.

I just joined so I can't post links yet but for your points:
1. Try Widgetlocker out. It's not free but there's always the 15 minute refund window.
2. Widgetsoid allows you to put toggles in your notification tray. There's a free and paid version of this in the Play Store.
For the second request you could also check out "Power Controls".
I find that indispensable.

Hello all, been a while since I've posted. I have been working hard on the sidelines on a completely themed CM7 that feels acceptable to me. This is about as completely themed as it comes for me.
First off, on this copy I did remove many extra .apks I never use including DSP manager, development, wallpapers, the ability to change themes within the ROM, and a few other things I think.
As per previous experience I did leave the browser in (even though I never use it).
I did add a few items over time I have grown to not be able to live without, custom font is one of them. I spent a lot of time converting the ringtones from the MyTouch 4G and made them all compatible with the MyTouch 3G Slide. I have incorporated then into the various ringtones and alarms available to the Slide. I even added a few 'ringtones' to the notification audios so now longer notifications are available to those who want it! In addition I updated most the 'bland' settings icons with more 3D/colored ones.
In the notification bar, you will notice I have added completely custom and high quality color icons which do include some that I customized myself.

I waited so long to post this because I don't plan on doing updates to this ROM, this version of the nightly works flawlessly on my phone and I do not plan on updating for some time now. Though I will post an optional version 2 in a day or so without all the apks deleted for those of you that like to have the entire ROM.

Thank you for your work. This looks good. I may try this. I've found CM7 to be unstable for me so I've still been on Cyanoginger 1.2 (CM6.1.1) which has been the most stable for me. I may wipe extra to try this out. . . . . and use it until the Gingerbread roms with Sense features become stable. I really miss Sense.
looks pretty nifty, i'll give it a spin as soon as i have some time on my hand.
Everything seems to be working pretty good. The theme kinda bothers my eyes, but it still looks pleasant.
i was sold when i saw witchblade...im flashing it now!
how's the GPS working?

I forgot to mention that I flashed this without wiping and everything is working.
Just curious, how does the theme bother your eyes? I only changed icons in it.
Icons are nice, I just think they're kinda big. The font is probably mostly it. Is it Caviar Dreams? I flashed that on a rom myself during the original CR_OTA days. I like it, though. I'd just have the font a tad smaller, too.
I'm diggin' the rom.
Hey all, I know some of you are like me and hate the TW buttons in the status bar so I threw together a KME version of SystemUI.apk Just copy the new one into system/app Make sure you backup the original in case. I am running it fine on the Starburst rom.

This is very good that you created tthis, many thanks. But this could definitely use some screenshots before someone commits to installing this.
Good point. That was a late night blurry eyed post, I'll add a screenie in a bit when I get back to my tablet.

there are a few of these out there already. but good one on contributing bro. i loike seeing more people create things around here.
I didn't realize there was an AOSP on available for the KME update, all of the ones I tried just made the whole bar disappear.

yep. ive made a few different variations, doc has, and boosted. now you. we should all start an aospbar mod crew.

Cool! Yeah I want to get the clock looking AOSP as well. Really my main goal is to hack the MiniApp framework to start building our own miniapps, I'd love to have a GTalk miniapp so I can send quick messages without closing out a video.
I've started work on it, but working part time and grad school part time is going to keep that project at low priority.

yeah i know how that goes man. 2 jobs, finishing my degree, and a 5 year old daughter prevents me from spending too much time with this stuff too. mini-tray is on my list of things to kill.
like AOSP
Hello!
I am running an overcome rom.
How can i remove light line above the system bar?
And how can i remove screenshot and miniapps buttons? I want to make AOSP like UX.
Thanks in advance.
I'm reposting this from another thread I was in, but I wanted some general thoughts from the community.
One thing I think that iPhone does better is the lockscreen. I know Apple stole the notification bar from Android, but they do a better job with the lockscreen.
I can't figure out why Android won't put more information on the lockscreen. Info like text messages, who called me when (missed calles), email.
I used an app on the iPhone that was nice, the Lockinfo program. It required a jailbreak, but it was cool. http://www.lockinfo.net/ It was really nice.
I've tried a few alternatives in Android, but nothing seems to work quite as smooth. I've tried widget locker + pure messanger. Wasn't a smooth experience.
Thoughts?
I actually find the iPhone lockscreen to be quite cluttered. I recently came from an iPhone to a Nexus S i9020a and loving ICS so far and the great community.
I still have my iPhone but I've had times where I would get multiple notifications on the lockscreen and the entire screen is filled with clutter. First there's the date and clock area, then you got the bottom slide, then the middle gets filled with notifications. I find it bothersome actually. I much prefer the lockscreens on Android and Windows Phone.
I guess I enjoy seeing my background more than who called or contacted me. I can see that when I go into the app itself.
I guess its a personal preference to what you would like in the lock screen. However all your notification do appear in the notification bar.
Try MiLocker
Actually, Android has a much larger variety of what you can have on your lockscreen. I've had simple setups that just show missed calls and texts. I have my current setup that shows missed calls, texts, new emails, and allows me to go directly to those as well as music, camera, and home screen from the unlock slider.
If you run MIUI you can also run a setup that not only shows current status updates but also gives you a preview of the most recent. Take a look: http://gadgetdesire.blogspot.com/2011/12/miui-theme-slidescreen-ls.html
Bottom line is you can have as few or as many updates as you like on Android, just a matter of your preferences.
And if you want something simple to use with android search the web for txtmissed. Great app, just no longer under development.
TXTmissed on my old Widget Locker Screen. Takes you directly to calls log or default text service:

totally agreed. it would be nice to have a pop-up on LS when i have a missing call or a text.
MIUI rom will show you how android does with the lockcscreen, its never been better
Seconding MiLocker here. Didn't want full blown MIUI but the lock screen choices are pretty ridiculous in number. Been happy with it and it seems to be fully customizable.
you can use widget locker i think
i find it not enough configurable... i want to see my coming sms.
Maybe give GO Locker a try
Go Locker needs Go Laucher to work. Sadly
I've grown tired of the regular android look of 4x4 icons, dock and widgets. I want a different type of launcher ( I wish i had the stock launcher for the kindle fire), but something that is very different, any ideas? P.s. I've tried launcher 7...
Rocket Launcher is pretty unconventional. Not my style, but check it out. http://goo.gl/JrCBb
I've tried it too, but it wasn't snappy enough, and limited customization. It was a great start though. thanks
Wave launcher: http://goo.gl/zMRW6
Best money spent on market other than Tasker. No, it's not an actual home screen but it's an excellent launcher!
If you are patient and persistent, Sweeter Home is real nice. It is in perpetual beta, and the dev isn't really supporting it, but you can find users here in xda.
I'm including a few screenshots. The right side has tabs that bring up boxes of user selected apps. This is my setup. Search for sweeterskins and see what others have done also. YouTube has a few videos.
You can't know your limits until you exceed them.

One handy feature I forgot to mention is that you can show and hide settings switches and widgets as they are needed. You can see in my screenshot that my GPS widget comes into view when I am selecting a navigation app. This gives me a heads up on GPS status and a chance to activate if off. Up to 9 widgets can occupy the same spot and you can select which one is going to be displayed.

Pretty cool! I'm going to give that a go.
BTW, the home page is http://www.sweeterhome.com/, and they just released a new beta on 10 Feb 2012.
launcherPro allows you to re-size widgets and icons kinda stretches them though
https://market.android.com/details?...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5mZWRlLmxhdW5jaGVyIl0.
i like go launcher
LauncherPro and Go Launcher aren't really that unconventional. Neither is ADW nor Nova, for that matter.
Btw, duckredbeard: what theme are you using with sweeter? Looks quite sweet!
It's my own theme...look for SD004. It will take some work to make it work for you as I have alot of Tasker and MinimalisticText going on. I will do some edits to make it more adaptable for others. Check back to this thread for updates on when it is available.

I had forgotten about slidescreen. Do you have a link for it? Don't see it in the market.
MOD/Tweak I have been trying to search for and no one has done it yet.
Is there a way to UNGROUP the notifications.Here's Why
If you get a message, it will show in the notification bar the sender and the preview. However if you receive 2 messages, it will only show 2 MESSAGES, and you wont know from whom nor see the preview untill you open that notification.
Same as Missed calls, same as so many others apps.
So, my question is, IS THERE A WAY TO UNGROUP NOTIFICATIONS? Mod/Tweak?
Thank you,
B
would realy love to get an answer to this question...
on RR v7 galaxy note
Have you tried go sms ? It have lots of customization

I believe Jelly Bean is the answer to your question...

Okay, so that's emails but you get the picture. Assuming you've still got your HD2, I rather fancy your chances of getting Jelly Bean on there sooner rather than later
jellybean makes this better but its still not the best solution for everyone, i for example react to some missed calls when i see them and to others after one day, so it would be perfect for me if there was a notification for every evet, and those would not be dismissed by entering the associated app but only when i click on them... so a solution that can do something like that would be very appreciated.

Then you would have tons of notifications filling your notification tray.
Sent from my MB508 using xda premium
for me it would be about 10 - 15 each day, and preferably such a feature would be optional, i can understand that most people may not want it
Has this been implemented yet?
Coming from an iPhone to Android, I understand that grouping is a 'good' feature - but if everyone raves about how customizable Android is, I don't understand why this setting can't be changed.
Bringing this back from the dead! Is there finally an option for this? I'm running LP PAC-ROM CM12.1 base.
It's 2019; still wanting to ungroup notifications
4 years later, but I'm still hoping for this!
I don't like going into my inbox; I use my notification drawer as a catch-all "to-do list". I like keeping it clean, so I address each message individually using the quick action buttons. But when grouped, those buttons are no longer "quick" - you gotta expand the group, expand the notification, and then tap the button. It's also too easy to accidentally swipe the whole group away!
Since I prefer the drawer to be an accurate representation of what I have yet to address, I know that this could mean "having a ton of notifications building up in your drawer". And I'm okay with that! If I have a ton of unaddressed emails, then having a ton of unaddressed notifications is an accurate representation of what I have yet to address. My urge to clean out that drawer is much stronger than the urge to clean out my inbox, and I want to take advantage of that.
Anybody know of a hack?
