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:

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.
Right, so back when the X10 was on Android 1.6 it had quite a nice thin notification bar, and the sliding app drawer was rather nice too, but ever since 2.1 they've both been replaced, and the notification bar is bigger and closer to stock Android size. My question is...is there some way, either involving internal tinkering, flashing a new ROM or whatever, to bring back the old, thin notification bar without having to downgrade to 1.6 again? Can the same be done with the old app drawer?
(Also, first post here, so hi. I know my way around a forum usually, and I did some extensive searching before asking but to little effect.)
It is not possible mate. I really liked it too.

I was afraid of that; though on the face of it it would seem that it should be possible, at least in theory. I suppose one way would be contacting Sony Ericsson about it as an optional inclusion in a 2.1-based update or adding into 2.3, but that seems pretty unlikely.
EDIT: Or if it's possible to dualboot 1.6 with 2.1 somehow, it would be worth trying.
sorry for reviving an old thread, Im on the arc now but i have an x10....i really want the sliding drawer back. Can anyone on 1.6 post the home apk, see if its installable with some tweaks? thanks!
Hello all! I recently rooted my Samsung Epic 4G Touch and installed PhantomHacker's Blazer ROM v3.5 and ran into some small appearance issues. It seems that everything has installed properly other than some of the visual elements (Unless qbking77 themed his ROM in his video and I missed him mentioning it). I have the proper boot and power off animations and I have the all the proper status bar icons. However, I am missing all the other things such as all of the altered icons, the pull down notification bar, and the messaging app. I've noticed it's all stock basically, other than the few things I mentioned. Any mistakes on my part? I hope there's an easy fix for this! Thanks in advance!
It's been pretty much stock themed for a while now, he's got a few themes for it, but its been a while since he's had the time to update them to the newer versions. If you check out the e4gt section, there are several compatible themes in the them section you can flash on it, or wait until PhantomHacker gets his fixed up.
So qbking77's video is of an older version of Blazer when it was themed? Thanks for the answer!
Hey guys,
I just updated to ICS and just like GB, when I tap an icon, there is a grey border (square) that appears around the icon itself. Now, I've seen it on other ICS devices where there is no grey border. Is there a setting for this? or a theme?
This is a feature. Install another launcher if you don't like it.
K900: Seems like a rather unpolished "feature". And that was part of the question, I was wondering whether that was inherent to the GB/ICS and that I need to install a new theme and/or launcher or whether I just needed to enable/disable a setting.
I know I have not been around as long as you but a more informative reply would have been helpful. Thanks.
is there any way i can disable those annoying allview themes? or at least get some new ones
I already searched google and this forum but with no result.
The phone is working fine except that the themes are lagging the menu.
The phone is rooted but i can't find any cusotm roms or methods to get rid of those themes.
Ideas? Anyone?
up?
up !
this is the final UP.. i don't think there are any devs for this model
Hi there!
I saw that development has just started here on XDA: LINK
I just got my P6 this week also, and I'm relatively new to Android anyway.
I installed the Nova launcher and it gave me an option to be the default launcher, and home screen. I found that this disables the built in "Theme" app functionality, because it lists no themes available (original Themes are: Berry, Crystal Love, New Vintage).
I suppose, it would be easier to replace the Phone.apk and Contacts.apk with AOSP ones, rather to modify themes. Or at least I prefer to delay theming until rooting can be reversed for warranty issues.
Bye!
