Can't we just take MIUI'S idea for screenshot? - Vibrant General

THIS IS A DISCUSSION/QUESTION and probably wont fit best in questions section.
People who are using MIUI beta for vibrant right now, you know you can take screen shots by pressing menu and volume down... right?
wouldn't we be able to incorporate that into our existing roms? It would just set a action for what happens when you press those buttons... so anyone willing to give this a shot?

Lol yea but that's gingerbread

[Q] Porting the Fascinate Lock screen

Id love to port this thing over but what would all I need to edit? The XML files or just simply try and flash the framework-res.apk? Any help would be appreciated

Alot of the deva have been trying their hardest and it just keeps boot looping they said. It can't be done right now because unlike the fascinate, the Epic runs TW2.5 instead of 3.0. Gotta wait for 3.0 to be availible on the Epic I believe

Isn't the Epic Experience Rom using TW 3.0?
People don't search no more. This question and awnser had been posted in many threads from roms to asking for the lock screen.

I don't think its a full version because you can't edit the bottom icons or the app drawer.

Really? Whenever I long press an app it only gives the option to put it on my homescreens. When i press Menu in the app drawer it only says List View , and when i long press the bottom icons it does nothing lol. But when I press the home button it lets me edit however many homescreens I want and it also has the numbers on the dots at the top showing which screen im on so I thought it was just a partial 3.0 or something haha.

Open the launcher, hit menu, select 'view type', choose 'customizable grid'.
Then hit menu again, and now select 'edit'.
Of course this is if you are rocking the Epic Experience ROM

The reason we got 2.5 is cause 3.0 wasn't working right in landscape mode. Are phone automatically goes into landscape once the keyboard is slide out. The other galaxy s phones do not have these keyboard. So landscape mode wouldn't pose a issue

WOW MAN I LOVE YOU!
lol I was like what the EFF why can't I move my bottom icons thanks so much this tip should be included in the features of the epic exp rom!
Porting the lockscreen would require using baksmali to mod the framework-res.apk. I've looked at it and it was way over my head. People without coding experience need not apply.
so, if it doesnt work right with TW2.5 and epic experience has TW3.0 from the fascinate then why dont we just port it onto epic experience? wouldnt that make it much easier?
EDIT: epic experience uses TW3.0 from the vibrant past 1.2.01. not sure what the difference is but it still should make porting it easier.

Recent applications in the Notifications Bar

Is there any way to get the recent apps in the notifications bar, kind of like the inspire has it. It would function like the home button but it would appear as you pull down the bar. Does anyone know how to do this?

You going to help him out or argue about posts?
Like I said, that's the only way I know of to being up recent apps. Maybe a theme has it?
Edit: looked into it further and I don't think its possible. Unless someone comes out with a rom that has that feature, long pressing the home button is the only way. I think the app executive assistant has something similar too.

Well, I know about the home burton method, but I like the notification idea so when you guys find something, can you tell me?

OMG it's like "Who's on First?"
let's get a nice stable, fast, working ROM on the Aria from CM7 before looking for tweaks to mimic another handset.
If someone had the Inspire, they'd probably see the Aria and want something they don't have, too.

the mysense (yogentouch) rom has this feature.
Speaking of this, is there a way to disable this on ROMs that have it. I hate that about the Inspire. The task-bar/dropdown is polluted enough as it is.
I think widgetsoid has that ability, I'll check and update my post if it does.
Edit: With Widgetsoid you can put your favorite apps in notification bar, but with Smart Bar you can put a button that will bring up a recent apps window. Only two solutions I can come up with. Hope they help.

Yes and no. If it works the same as it did on CM7 you'll have a lot of work getting it set up, but it will be easier to make changes after.

I would think so with the way the app works.
been waiting for this since the first alpha of CM9! can't wait much longer, and looks like we won't have to.. WOOOOO!
the angelic glow that comes in right when he enters theme chooser seems fitting..
AOKP does need something like this.. with an option to make the swagger button say and look however you want
Its in alpha stage right now, obvious by the fact that it had its own icon, instead of being built into the settings.
But I'll say its about a month away, providing no speed bumps along the way
