I dont know if anyone else is in the same boat and hates the se theme, and wants a fully working Rom based off the stock vzw one but I sure do. That's why in making this thread to build a list of features and mod people would want for said Rom. Then if I can get enough support and help I (or someone who knows how to to this better as I never have) can make it. So please post what you would like to see or if you can offer some support. Thanks.

The list is as follows so far.
[WIP]Notification power widget
[ ]Power menu reboot options
[ ]Power menu screen shot
[x]App2sd
[ ]Xloud
[ ]theme chooser support (longshot here)
[x]Bravia Mobile Engine
[ ]Long-press trigger buttons for media (L - previous song, R- next song)
I'd like the above, but I really just want an ICS theme.
Most of what is listed is doable. I am watching this thread to gauge interest.
I know it can be done just not entirely sure how its done, later I'm going to compare my systemui.ak with the modded gsm fw ones that don't work and see if I can add it in. And also so far the list is only stuff I had on the top of my head.

The only what i wish is a fully stable and perfect running MiUi Rom for the Play who also works the touchpads and any other thing..
Also i wish me cyanogenmod 9 nightlys
Well I don't like miui at all so I won't be helping with that lol not that I could really help anyway the scale of the miui and cm7 work is way over my head.

The SystemUI.apk should be the easy part. It decompiles with ApkManager without issues. I was already looking to add this to mine. The harder part is the screenshot.
I also would love everything bladestonez mentioned, and if it could be on a cdma compliant 2.3.4+ build, I'd be ecstatic.
Highest priority would be aps2sd, for me, then the notification power widget, etc, etc.
Are there any camera mods to enable panoramic pictures?
I've seen scteenshot mods for UK roms before so now just to do digging

I would like 2.3.4 also but vzw is terribly slow on updates and I am just working with what's available

ok well im about 99% positive that i have fount what makes the notification power widget mod work and have tried to add it to the cdma SystemUI.apk but when i compile it wont include the additions its like you can modify things and it works but you cant add them. i have included a zip that should only need to be extracted and merged with a decompiled SystemUI.apk then compiled if anyone can get this added i would love you forever. also if you do get this added would you please pm me the modified SystemUI.apk or attach it to a post in here.
☻Fully working 3D sweep panorama
☻More Xperia PLAY launcher customizations (Themes, background, sort by, display only these and these games, recently played, most played, favourite - i know, let's create a second Game Center!)
☻Bravia Mobile Engine
☻Enable/Disable auto brightnes, ultra brightnes
☻Long-press trigger buttons for media (L - previous song, R- next song)
☻Camera: L button - focus, R button - shoot (and make it fullscreen, I mean no edges and onscreen controls - only settings, if possible transparent
The last 3 ideas are mostly from hatcyl so thank him
I know that some of these ideas are difficult to implement, but would be pretty sweet if someone would. Good luck then!

For example, what music player is included? Vanilla or touch wiz? What are the 5 radio buttons they used in the notification pull down? Can you still adjust the brightness by sliding your fiber across the notification bar at the top, do we have a video player app, etc.

Do we have that new beach live wallpaper?
What about wireless tethering? Is the Froyo version there and does it work if it is? Or did Sprint take it out?
Craw, let's be a little realistic here. Why would Sprint include the FREE tethering when they have a product they're selling for $30/month?
NO US Carrier, and I can't think of ANY carrier at all, will include the tethering for free. I'm pretty sure Google just added it as a feature so it was easier for the carriers to implement their own (paid) solution.

Which live wallpapers are missing? Most likely I can replace them if I back up what I have now in my epic?
Also, can you edit the tw3.0 home screen like on the fascinate? Can you edit the dock?
First of all this is for the noobs, like me, Devs or smart users stay outta this
Below are/were my impressions after playing with KP8 for 45+ minutes,
• Hell of a lot better than previous build, KP1. Yes, I will call it a Beta, finally
• Phone calls were good, in ear volume was good and loud enough for me.
• Vibration intensity is FINALLY back to normal, unlike KP1 where it was so faint that you could barely feel it.
• Ringtone volume is normal.
• Incoming call UI is same as before and the Reject and Answer button doesn't animate while sliding. (Beta)
• Phone signal is rock solid and stable.
• 3G does work, Wi-Fi too.
• Noise Cancellation feature is FINALLY here, you can turn it off/on manually. It was presented in the previous build too.
• Stock broswer is brilliant, smooth as hell, no lag of whatsoever while Auto fit enabled. Lot of customisation options are there too, like font size, invert colors, Desktop view, Bandwith management, Offline reading etc... Flash plugins worked well too, make sure you download the latest Flash Player.
Sad part keeps remaining, no EXIT option
• Contacts have more options to display, attached screenshot.
• Stock GMail app is upgraded, same like KP1, no multi touch/pinch to zoom.
• Stock Email app is kinda weird, all black background, maybe there is a way to change it, didn't have time.
• Clock, Calender, Gallery, Maps, Calculator, Task, Memo (new icon), Mini diary, Voice Recorder, FM Radio, My Files, Voice recorder everything are same as in GB, so no, Sammy won't update those thing in TW for ICS, maybe.
• ICS Lockscreen is weird, doesn't work well.
• Camera works completely well, every settings work, same goes for 1080P Video recording.
• Task Manager is ICS style, slide left to close an app, cool.
• LWP does work, however there are some lags.
• 480X800 Wallpapers DOESN'T fit in desktop! Same like KP1. Should and will be fixed.
• Market works perfectly fine, downloading app works good too.
• No Swype, not that I expected.
• All the network based options were there, including APN's.
• GPS is fine, got lock in indoors!
• YouTube app works perfectly fine, some new options were added.
• Stock video player somehow played 1080P file, it was not watchable for me. Audio was intact on the other hand.
• Music player is SAME.
• Had 3 FC's so far, once system also froze.
• The smoothness allover UI is pretty fine, HW acceleration is definitely there, I like the elastic type scrolling, however it need more polishing, undoubtedly.
• Overscroll glow is reduced somewhat, with ICS color instead of blue. I still hate it anyway.
• Stock fonts worked. Not in Browser and other places though.
• Connection with PC worked.
• Unread SMS icon changed in LS, (I don't like it) and there is NO missed call notification icon in LS!
••• What am I doing? Of course I am going back to my Nandroid backup , no way this was a daily ROM for me.
If I remember anymore I'll update, feeling sleepy.
Attaching some screenshots.
Regards.

Live Wallpaper
I found the whole thing to be somewhat unresponsive and the lack of proper SD card support was killer for me.
- Then there was Samsung's firmware update notification that failed when I tried to accept the terms and would not go away.
- Certain apps like gmail would crash and the hole phone would become unstable.
- Overheating problems
- Lockscreen is buggy
Needed a small help. In case, any one of you is going to revert to a more stable ROM, can someone check whether this mod for skipping music when screen off works before doing so?

Ok, so I got my 4.3 and Sense 5.5 update and, altough there a re a lot of improvements, I'm more pissed off because of some stuff they removed or... ahem... added...
- Why did they remove the lock screens? I know the lock screen widgets are accessible through a right to left swipe in the lock screen, but why remove them altogether? For example, I just want to be able to have a different wallpaper for my lock screen than my home screen...
- Why did they remove the old video highlights themes?I very much welcome the added new settings and permissions for the highlights... Honestly, they're a very big deal. But, for the love of God, why remove the old themes? My favorite (and judging from what I've seen on the internet - youtube, Facebook or HTC Share - "Islandia" is gone... Why?
- Why is the NFC logo pinned in the status bar? Why do I have to see that? I have NFC turned on all the time... :
These are the few things that got me upset about the new Sense 5.5 update. I know that the update has a lot of good new features (and I welcome them all)... But why remove other good features that have been on Sense since I can remember?
Are there other features that have been removed/altered in a bad way?
Please share...
And an UPDATE: I know that they've added a s*it load of new emoticons in the stock SMS app, BUT they made it so that the we cannot see the old ones.
For example, when someone sends me an SMS with an emoticon from HTC One X with Sense 5.0, I just see it as text and they cannot see the new emoticons that I send them... Great thinking HTC (_|_)
Yes. Why the he'll did they removed the medialink hd api?
No more movies on the tv and browsing on the phone at the same time. Really makes the hd medialink useless.
I wonder how long HTC will take to actually understand how things work.
They removed all weather animations in sense 5. And what they provided in that version is now removed in the latest version.
Are they confused?

Can't get my head around removing the old themes. I suppose now that there's custom music available you can use the old music easily enough I would imagine but you can't get the old visual effects back. I love Islandia.
Ridiculous decision, I only went to 4.2.2 and got the six new themes in July, three months and they've removed them?!

Custom music is cool but try to upload your video and have all these warning about copyrighted music etc.
The new themes aren't good or aren't there any themes anymore?
Also, did I read that now the duration of the clip is changeable or am I wrong?
The duration of the clip is variabile, but cannot exceed 30 seconds. Maybe on HTC One Max you can make videos longer than 30 seconds.

That's because the old emoticons were just three-character strings that the messaging app interpreted as a smiley. For example (-: turned into . This caused tons of problems if you were trying to send a more technical text message with tons of parentheses and colons. Now, in Sense 5.5, the emoticons are standard Unicode emoji glyphs that are supposed to be universally compatible with every phone supporting the updated unicode standard. For example, in Android 4.3 (and probably 4.2.2) emojis are partially-implemented. The latest iPhones have a full implementation, as does Google Hangouts (one of the reasons to be excited about Hangouts SMS integration IMO), and now Sense 5.5 has a full implementation of emojis.
The reason your old phone cannot see your new emoticons is because it's either not running a recent enough version of Android or HTC's software on the One X simply does not render the emojis right. Some messaging apps also can strip excess unicode information -- older phones are notorious for this. A simple fix would be to use an alternative SMS/MMS app on the One X, one that fully supports emoji input such as Sliding Messaging Pro, or Textra (don't know if Textra supports ALL of the emoji glyphs, but it has some functionality).
One more note, CM10.x's MMS app also has support for this built-in, so it isn't just some fad that little girls and iPhone users are aware of, it is legitimately an evolving communication standard.

Hi guys,
My english is not perfect but i will do my best
I'm new here and that's why i post it here and it would be great if someone could move it to development forum.
I've seen some tutorials here about how to control the led bar with terminal but i have something easier for you.
There is 2 Apps to control the bar. I will try to make them better and try to add another features but i dont know when it will happen.
One of this app is based on sony illumination API but the thing is that you can turn on 3 leds at the same time with the same color. Maybe i dont know how to use it but i dont know how to change color of each led separately. You can turn on Pulse Effect here.
Second app is basen on DooMLoRD tutorial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439651) and here you can change color of each led and thats the only thing that this app is doing.
Yeah i know that this apps are so simple but maybe someone will have some fun while using them
If i will make something new i will update this thread.
Have FUN
PS: to turn off leds in app where you can control each led just set their colors to black.
Sorry to say but wrong section mate.you should have posted in themes and apps section

It's not possible without root.
Also, you are in the wrong section of the forum. Questions about U are probably better answered in the Xperia U forums
@rundgong is it possible to turn on illumination bar when in certain apps? e.g if I set color to yellow for temple run, every time I launch temple run the illumination bar stays on with yellow glow and when I switch to hangouts it starts glowing green? (would love to set colors for different apps, I mean we have this huge illumination bar so why not make it shine through out the ui? why use it just for notification and not fun )

@rundgong is it possible to turn on illumination bar when in certain apps? e.g if I set color to yellow for temple run, every time I launch temple run the illumination bar stays on with yellow glow and when I switch to hangouts it starts glowing green? (would love to set colors for different apps, I mean we have this huge illumination bar so why not make it shine through out the ui? why use it just for notification and not fun )

It's not possible to do it properly I think. There is no easy way of knowing what app is currently running.
By using AccesibilityEvents you can probably find out some info about when an app is brought to the front. With that info you can maybe do something that kind of works, but not really.
But I'm not sure about that.
The best thing about this app is that it works without Rooting also :laugh:

I'm new to android programming and i dont know how to make apps comapitible with other ROM's, but i will try it.
Music pulse, music beats - like i said i'm beginner but maybe some day i will make it. This project is just for fun and i dont know if i will have time to implement all the features i would like to.

Hi guys,
My english is not perfect but i will do my best
I'm new here and that's why i post it here and it would be great if someone could move it to development forum.
I've seen some tutorials here about how to control the led bar with terminal but i have something easier for you.
There is 2 Apps to control the bar. I will try to make them better and try to add another features but i dont know when it will happen.
One of this app is based on sony illumination API but the thing is that you can turn on 3 leds at the same time with the same color. Maybe i dont know how to use it but i dont know how to change color of each led separately. You can turn on Pulse Effect here.
Second app is basen on DooMLoRD tutorial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439651) and here you can change color of each led and thats the only thing that this app is doing.
Yeah i know that this apps are so simple but maybe someone will have some fun while using them
If i will make something new i will update this thread.
Have FUN
PS: to turn off leds in app where you can control each led just set their colors to black.

Yes there is one just modify a launcher that reacts different, depending on which App is opened. Or just checkout these ways on StackOverflow.
