Custom Navigation Buttons - Xoom General

Just saw this on Droid-Life
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/04/0...xus-rom-near-you-that-would-be-app-shortcuts/
Custom Navigation buttons..sounds like a very nice idea.
Any ROMs currently implementing this or planning on it?

nice
That is a very good idea, would look nicer if the links were in the same blue scheme of ics

This is more of a theme concept than a development concept. Where's all the themers at?

Eerr big rush.... Couldn't this be implemented like aokp has rom control to manage the nav bar... Couldn't eos throw in a control where you can set a custom button n icon on the fly? We should be getting something similar it seems in b30 of aokp for maguro

Not just pngs but addition of custom shortcuts to other apps the addition of extra icons into the nav bar... On b30 I am now able to do all that and you can set what the long press does... Which is pretty cool I have to say

Ahh gotcha. I saw the story and video on Engadget. Congrats to the AOKP team! Yes we have something similar in the works. Then implementation will be different but I'm pretty sure the result will exceed expectations.

i seriously cant wait... we have so much nav bar room on the xoom... it would lead to epicness... and a much more minimalistic layout for the home screens

[Q] Rom with navigation bar mod

Hi, I'm looking for a ROM where you can tweak the navigation bar like in AOKP.
Unfortunately I tried last AOKP build but the battery life is horrible (even with franco's kernel).
So do you know any rom with this feature? (Or a flashable zip)
CM10.1 has it.
Where?

It isn't. It's a cherry pick.
It's CM 10.1 + Cherry Picks (Unapproved additions that will be added once approved by CM team). So basically u get features faster that are not yet approved because someone on the team didn't approve of it yet.
Thanks you guys, its perfect!
Should i use the stock kernel?
What do you use?
CM10 stock does have it, in the power menu options
I use Matr1x
Just flashed 20121211 eurosskank cm10.1 and I dont see the option...
Yeah, that is the main feature I am using AKOP for.
If there was a stock ROM with Nav bar button and size mod and status bar mod only, I would totally hit that up
Anyone know how?
looking for the rom that lets you add and rearrange the soft nav buttons. is codename android coming out for n4?

It's there. You have to flash jellybro which is a unofficial release with cherry picks. Check android development the thread is in there. You can flash that Rom on top of Cyanogenmod.
I don't understand why people flash the official one when jellybro has cherry picks of cm features not yet merged yet. Jellybro is so much better.

[Q] Extend Wallpaper under Status Bar and Softkeys?

Is there any means to extend the wallpaper underneath the Status Bar and Softkeys? I dislike the black banding, especially under the Softkeys. I know Paranoid Android does this but one reason I bought a Nexus was to get out of ROMs--plus I'd rather not waste space on ROM backups.
I have root and the willingness to muck about in the system APKs.
Bump.
Just wait for any expert to make a mod

Or, I could ask and see if any developer who already knows how this is done in Paranoid Android will tell me.
I would like to do this as well... is it possible without a custom ROM?
it needs framework modifications, but mods exist. evilisto made one if i remember that right.
i dunno why you would want one over a rom though. makes no sense. roms on nexus base on aosp and official vendors blobs. what you get is stock android plus features. you cannot compare it to roms on legacy devices which emulate android, need hacks and exploits.
ps. PA has per app coloring. this goes way past simple transparent bar on the homescreen.

Yup custom roms, currently on cm10.1 and I do just that to my nav bar.
I'd also say include a search, it barely takes up any room at all compared to the other keys. I have mine set up like my old Wildfire. Can you not do this on stock rom? I never kept it long eneough to check.

No, you cannot. Most custom roms (cm, aokp, etc) have this feature though.

[REQ] Signal / Wi-fi / Operator on the left side of status bar

You know, like in MIUI v5? Is there any ziptheme mod, or does anyone know what do I have to edit to have those icons on the left side of the staus bar?
Thanks in advance.
I also REALLY want this. I'm surprised no one has already made this happen, it seems like a no brainer customisation feature.

Great find
I found something similiar, involved editing xml files after decompiling sytemUI, but for an older Android version, so it didn't work. I will decompile his file and check for differences.
I'm currently working on modifying the systemUI.xml of my PA rom which should work on most AOSP roms. I'm trying to adjust icon dimensions to allow for a larger signal strength icon to simulate the new ios7 dot style signal strength icon. Not that relevant... But while I'm there I'll see if I can't make a simple switch sides mod.
Make a paint image or something or find a screen shot of exactly what you want or what side and such. I don't want to forget icons.

It says: ''I'm going to show you to properly center the clock using the xml found in stock Sony Timescape ICS but the principles can be applied to pretty much any rom on any device.''
So i think that could be done in any other roms. I will try it in PA

Multi-Window/Multi-Tasking #25
Auto kill on exit #26
Thank you +ParanoidAndroid** for your hard work
(** Links to Google+ removed due to Restrictions)
I can tell you one of those things is being worked on
I'd love App privacy to also manage network access :fingers-crossed:

App privacy is currently available by exposing Google's App Opps implementation.
We'll see if they release it themselves for 4.4
I'd like improved quiet hours: the ability to silence phone calls, set different times for weekends/weekdays, quiet hrs qs toggle and for important contacts/ two calls in a set time period to ring the phone loudly. Also I'd like the ability to have 4 qs toggles in a row. Other then that thanks so much for this wonderful rom and keep up the amazing work
I think per app auto rotation control will be a good addition to the hybrid engine.

It is under consideration, Hybrid 3 has been written to be easily extend. I think its a great feature and would use myself, however an app can override the system settings and this covers most use cases: video, e readers etc
I have seen CM has fixed the problem where going into Recent Apps sometimes shows you a minimizing animation of previously opened app, although the app isn't in app switcher.
Even the stock Android has that problem. I'd like to have that fix in PA also.

Yes I agree. Does anyone know why PA uses these instead of the stock ones? Seems odd considering that PA strongly supports the android design guidelines and keeping things as close to stock as possible.

They were changed to work with PAC (per app color). The stock ones are opaque and the color feature looks nasty on them. The new ones are more transparent to work better with PAC. But yeah, I agree. They don't look the same. I'm sure with all the kk leaked images showing white icons, there gonna have a nice chance to remake them

My feature requests:
-Use Volume keys to move cursor r/l as in CM
-Battery charging light as in CM-
-In PA 3.99 or in PA 3+ generally, the QS Tiles are smaller or a part of the very top Quicksettings-Tiles-row is missing. That looks very strange! Please fix it so that it looks like in "original" Android so that you can see 4 rows of QS-Tiles when you switch to them, and not also the upper part of the Tiles in the fifth row!
Then I'd use this ROM as my daily ROM instead of CyanogenMod as HALO and the Hybrid Engine is so great!
