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, 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.
Hi,
I am looking for a ROM which will allow me to :
1. Decent battery life- performance not a problem. So no OC
2. AOSP lock screen (sliding)
3. Samsung browser (only because I like my 'clickable' phone numbers, and i found stock browser wont do it for me.. only the samsung)
4. I dont like all those fancy icons (i.e. on the notification drawer) i prefer stock standard.
is this possible? or am I asking for too much?

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.
Ive got two SGS2 phones one running the stock XXLPQ rom ( which has been rooted and had CWM installed ) and the other running the Omega_ICS_v4.0_ICS_XXLPH ROM.
I'm looking for a customizable 14 statusbar toggle buttons with QuickPanel Settings app type of deal that i can install via APK or even flash through CWM if possible.
I did look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289896 but didnt know if I would have to mess around coding etc to get it to work
Im wondering if anyone has made a stand alone version of the status bar that is ion the omega version so I can install that on the Stock ROM phone along with Go Launcher EX.....I will be driving down to spain later this year and I want to use the stock phone with Sygic sat nav for stability as my main phone and the omega Rom'd phone as my media player plugged into the stereo in the car.
Just to clarify im looking for a status bar tweak / mod for the standard ICS 4.0.3 XXLPQ rom n
I know for a fact that FOXHOUND 0.5 is using the customizable 14 status bar tweak.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1162715
But whether or not you can get a standalone installer for it i'm not really sure.
Looks like you might need to follow lidroid's guide if you want it on your custom rom
Im not wanting it on my custom rom I would like to have it on the standard ICS 4.0.3 XXLPQ rom if possible
Ah, my apologies.
It would seem you would most certainly have to follow lidroid's guide.
Seems like a hand full of mucking around to do but if it is something you really want, then I guess it's worth it?
EDIT:
Just a quick look on the market place and I found this application: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle&hl=en
This could be exactly what you're after?
Hmm working phone v bricked phone.....knowing my luck ill wait until someone else who is more experienced than me is able to do something like this.
excellent thank you very much bud....ill give it a whirl when i get back home this afternoon.....top dude
I have a phone running stock android 4.1.1 and I want it to look like any other (xperia, touchwiz, sense etc.) but I can't find what's needed I really want the status bar to look the same aswell as the launcher and stock apps, I can't use a rom.

Your best bet would be rooting, using the Xposed Framework and something like the HK Theme Manager or Xtheme Engine to make significant changes to the look of the system. These tools work well on most devices, but it can be hard to theme stock HTC roms as they have a very different theming structure vs most devices and generic theming tools can only go so far. Other than that, best you could do without a rom (or root) would be a different launcher that either hides the status bar or comes with it's own (have only seen an iPhone looking launcher with that function) or hide the status bar and figure out how to make something like Zooper Widget to help create your own little section at the top for the clock and battery status - though this stuff would only work on the home screen.
If you REALLY want to change stuff, the best option is a rom and there's really not much getting around it without compromises.
