After a short stint with MIUI, I have gone back to CM7. The one thing I liked in MIUI was Button Savior. I would prefer to use it over the navigation buttons at the bottom of CM7 but am unsure if I can hide/remove them.
Thanks!
I believe you can under the status bar settings in CM7 settings. It also allows you to customize which ones you have there.

i am running dj_steves 1.5.1 and i was wondering about the following:
Is it possible:
to have the old feature from 1.6 when you press on the battery icon it gives you several toggles?
to get rid of the dropdown status bar (it is really annoying)
not make the icons adjust to the "snap" placement on the screen?
also is it possible to add more icons to the screen than the standard?

The answer for the first question (Black bar across top with drop down bar) is no. The framework has been changed in froyo so without the source code for dell's homescreen UI in 1.6 and 2.1, it can't be ported.
To add more icons to the screen, you're gonna have to use a different home screen launcher. With Dj_Steve's StreakDroid, ADW.Launcher and Launcher Pro are pre-installed.
I use ADW.Launcher and highly recommend it, you just need 30-45 min to sit down and go through all the settings to get it to how you want it.
To switch your default home screen, easiest way is to download "Home Switcher for Froyo" from the market.

Is there a way to hide or disable the menu bar at the bottom? I would like to replace it with something more minimalistic like zMooth. (on kindle fire stock ROM)
Anyone find anything, I found by installing "No Lock" and moving it to /system/app I can activate it and restart the kindle which causes it to start without locking or showing the menu bar. However the problems with this are:
1. I can't have any security on the device, adding a third party lock screen lke magic locker or go locker bring back the menu bar.
and
2. The bar comes back occasionally for random unknown reasons.
I would also like to know if it is possible to bring the menu bar back in certain applications once it is disabled so I have more control in the web browser. (fullscreen/bookmarks)
Bump, anyone?
I've been trying to figure out how to do this too since I first got it. Even when I use Go Launcher, the menu bar is still there. Very annoying.
You can do it in ADW.

I am aware of this, (it can also be done in go launcher) however I would like it to be replaced with zmooth not just minimized, also adw and go launchers docks get partially cutoff by the minimized menu bar.
Nevermind.
Thanks for pointing this out, the bottom bar was driving me nuts.
Im running pure AOPK on my n7, and under ROM settings there is a nav bar option... just what i was looking for... you can put 2 more buttons on the navigation bar :laugh::laugh::laugh:
but i really dont like the phone UI...
when i change the dpi to 160, the extra buttons are gone...
any ideas?
i found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpgyNFQFAdo
that would do the trick, but it is for cm7... but i have theme choser... but i cant try it now because i dont have a computer to restore a backup if i need to...
id like to add more than 5 buttons (power, menu, go launcher, ilauncher, youtube....)
thanks

I changed my LCD density on mine too after adding buttons (running CM10), and the buttons go back to stock. Is there any way to customize the combined bar or tablet bar or combination bar or WHATEVER the heck it's called? I've been scouring the interwebs for this info and can't find it anywhere.

Yep, I'm running cookies and cream right now and I can do this

Aokp supports tablet mode without changing dpi. When you do this you are able to customize the navbar to your hearts content.
Btw dpi changes are dirty little hacks that tend to break compatability with several aokp features like this and make some apps disappear from the play store.

Is there a mod that would give me a button on the bottom bar, to open notifications when tapped? The way I usually use this tablet, the top left is the exactly least convenient place to swipe when I'm holding it from the bottom.
I'm on the 3g model but if such a mod exists already, I presume it can be adapted.

Nova or Apex launchers will let you do that very easily.
In the settings you can choose what you want to happen when you tap the home key when you are on the home screen. One of the choices is pull down notifications.

OK, but that's still not a button in the nav bar. I'm looking for a button in the nav bar that pops open the notifications tray, without leaving whatever app I'm in.

i think he's saying to get that button you would need top use a custom launcher such as apex or holo.:good:
With Nova Launcher (I don't have any experience with Apex):
- tap and hold on homescreen
- select "Nova Actions"
- select "Expand Notifications"
When the shortcut is created, drag it to your nav bar.

... and in what ROM are you allowed to drag launcher shortcuts to your nav bar???
To be clear, by nav bar, I mean the black bar along the bottom with the back, home and multitask icons. I am looking to see if there is a mod that can change that to: Back, Home, Multitask, Open Tray.
In some of the cm 10 roms . in the settings /system settings / navigation bar.. You can add two buttons . And change what those do... I am not sure if you can set it to pull notifications or not but i think you might be able to.. I know the euroskank and paranoid android roms have this..
This takes a framework re work.. You will not get this feature in a launcher running on the stock android frame work.. Someone could code this. But doing so would break compatibility with other things .
There would be NO Stock solution for this The ones people are describing above will not work. You can add it to the dock if you have it enables..
Now most launchers Nova prime (what i use) has screen gestures. You could set that to swipe down bring notifications down swipe up close .
Good Luck
Good to know. I guess we'll have to see if devs can expand their ROMs to include 3G, even in absence of full source...

Sorry, my bad, I thought you meant the dock.
Any progress or answers?
I'd like some sort of solution to this.
Even something as simple as opening the notifications with a tap instead of a swipe would make a world of difference.
Maybe you should try a ROM with Tablet UI?
I have a few questions after 2 days of usage. I'm used to Nexus, where almost everything is possible.
So few things, that annoy me.
Navigation bar:
Is it possible to make it transparent using (my favourite) Nova launcher? I set Nova to 18:9, but it's still not trasnparent ...
HW buttons remap
Is there any mod to remap HW buttons (when screen is off) to any other app than camera and QuickMemo
Lockscreen shortcut
Is it possible to show shortcuts on locksreen even if scrren lock method is "Swipe" - so without pin/pattern, etc...
If you choose any other method, shortcuts are there.
Stock dialer - search
Is somehow possible to set that stock dialer show all search result (when using T9 search) instead of just one and using down arrow to show others ...
Navigation bar should be transparent in Nova, try updating all apps to the latest versions.
I'm looking for HW button remaps too, for now i am using Tasker to do stuff for me.
I can set Lockscreen Shortcuts on "normal" swipe unlock, should work.
Not sure about the dialer, i don't see any extra settings anywhere for the dialer.

Yup, transparent nav. bar now works for me.
Locksreen problem->hmm, after reboot working now.
I changed dialer to ExDialer.
You can remap volume up with Key Plus.

Found that app, thanks.
But, remap is only usefull for led light on/off. If you set any other app (i tried dialer) phone wakes, but you still have to unlock it (swipe, pattern, whatever you have ...) before you see app.
