Softkey Button App? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I saw a screenshot somewhere of a soft key replacement app. The soft keys were red and appeared on the middle left side of the screen. There was home, back, and recents i think and they kind of went in a circle. I tried to draw what i remember it to look like. It also looked like it had a holoish theme to it. Anyway sorry for being so vague but i don't remember anything about it. If you know what its called I'd love to know! Thanks for your help!

Is there no app that can do that? Is it only in Paranoid Android?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

ParanoidAndroid has a feature called Pie that looks like that. If you're not using PA, then you can use an app called LMT which is a similar replacement to PA Pie.

I never said it wasn't. All I said was that ParanoidAndroid had a feature that he described in the OP and if he wasn't on PA, he could use LMT (on a different ROM) which is a similar thing to PA Pie.

It's better to use paranoid rom to get it becuase on paranoid its built into the rom. If you get a app like that i believe it consumes alot of ram and everytime you kill tasks you have to run the app again.( please correct me if i'm wrong)

[Q]Does Rasbeanjelly have brightness slider?

Does Rasbeanjelly have brightness slider? I really like this feature and use it more often than i thought i would, now i can't live without it. can anyone out there using rasbeanjelly share a screenshot or just in words what kind of notification customisation options are available? thanks
No slider I'm aware of, just an option to toggle different levels of brightness in the notification bar.

I've been hearing alot about rasbean lately.
Could it be used as a daily driver?

I mean the AOKP style slider, but this should work. Is there a theme out there which has a percentage to indicate the brightness? I use to have one of these but then I lost it.

No. It has the cm brightness slider. And I don't think there are any mods that add a percentage to it.

I've been using it for just over a month trying both Franco's kernel and the trinity kernel with very little time on the stock kernel. I've had three crashes in the last three weeks. Two of which may have been my fault for not fixing permissions after flashing a new kernel.
Edit: fixing Sig in text issue.

And as YOU can see it has ROM control which is part of AOKP not CM and rascarlo only uses CM code which means no part of AOKP is available.

it has nothing to do with ROM control. this theme is built with the t-mobile theme engine, so in theory it works on any rom with that feature: pa, cm10 and most other roms. all i am doing is a proof of concept, it is achievable, even though most themes dont have them.

Google needs to put it in aosp as soon as possible. I wish they didn't kill off cornerstone as that was originally going to be part of cm but google told them to cease and desist.
Google would have to develop that from scratch, because that's Samsung-proprietary code.
Also, I hope that Google does NOT clutter up Android with stuff like this, for this we have ROMs like PA (which is already stuffed full of features that it barely works as a daily driver).

Paranoid android was great when it was based on cm. Its in 4.2 when they tried to go aosp and make their own tweaks that it became a mess. They need to go back to cm or switch to AOKP(uses CMs main code).
It wouldn't be that difficult to implement multi window. The cornerstone code would be a good starting point and android apps already scale to different resolutions without an issue.

You need to refer to the other annoying threads asking the same thing. You want multi window, get a note 2.

4.3 Roms and Tablet UI

For those of you that have played with some of the new 4.3 ROMs have you seen any with tablet UI functionality?
Have any 4.3 roms even been released? I thought they were still working on everything
Waiting on PA personally

No, but one of them has expanded desktop, if you're interested, which works great with gmd gesture control. It's ratcav's rom.

PA is out so I'm going to give that a try. Might wait a few builds as the first one has usually has a few bugs to work out. Running pure stock right now just so I can say I tried it.

Full 4.4 KitKat experience

Hi there,
I recently purchased my nexus 7. I used to have an XDA account from years ago.
Basically, tonight I installed the AOSP ROM released for the nexus 7 on rootzwiki forums and I found that it had the normal launcher so it seemed like a jelly bean ROM with a white theme to it. Since then I discovered I was able to download and install Google Home and that enabled me to use the new UI with the transparent status bar and nav bar. So far I like it a lot. Its quite stable with a few bugs and it will get better.
And a video on YouTube of the ROM

I would add screenshots but the xda app doesn't let me

I believe it's the launcher. As you can see, the Search Bar is out of place too, I have the Google Experience launcher on my n4, and it doesn't look like that. I believe this launcher wasn't N7.2 ready.
