[Q] Google connected status icons - Galaxy S III General

Why doesn't Samsung or really any of the manufacturers support the Gmail status colors like the Nexus devices. It's a nice touch to be able to check grey or blue.

Agreed

New EC07-#3: Wish List

Very very satisfied with this upgrade.... JOB WELL DONE!
I only have 2 wish list;
1: STAY AWAKE - option in Application>Development>. I would like this option back. This was good feature when phone is connected to USB or charger. Especially when driving.
2: Notification Font Color - Very hard to read with light Gray background with White Font. Maybe different Font Color????
Does anybody has any wish list?
Thanks

Absolutely!
And I would add another wish:
2: STOP APP VIA LONG-PRESS - option in Application > Development > Stop app via long-press (Long-pressing the BACK button will kill the foreground application)

These are features that exist in CyanogenMod and I would love to seem them here, too.

I've been looking around in the framework, but i'm not sure where it is... I'm thinking Res/layout/status bar_expanded. But, the only hex I see there is for black, which makes me think it's actually for the header, not the text itself... Wanna educate me on where to look?
EDIT: Found it... I think. res/layout/status bar latest event content... I'll find out for sure, tomorrow.
I got your wish #1 done
I am using it myself, and it works great
But, I have been debating whether or not to even release my projects anymore xP
And yes abby_Nitewolf that's what you need to change good job!

I too was wondering why there was no option to never sleep while charging? And also why wouldnt it be under display options? It seems to be related to usb debugging....I used to lose connection all the time when using pdanet or wireless tether until I used an app to keep screen on so this would be awsome to implement.....

[HOWTO] disable google search on ics

ALL CREDIT TO QBKING77 .. i am only sharing for the benefit of all ..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_-EkN07BGc
nasty "google search on ics"
latest kangs have option in the homescreen to disable it.
Nice explanation as usual.
But... why? This disables the physical search button and leaves a blank unusable gap under the top bar. Is there a way to extend the usable grid upward once the search bar is gone?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
just a personal choice, i dnt use search much so for me this bar on the top is a waste ..
Also I worry about burn in the search is going to cause on our amoleds.

is there burn in on your notification bar? or your menu icon (which is on you screen the same amount of time)?
if not, why would you worry about search bar burn in?
if so, why dont you switch to a non amoled phone?
People need a video for selecting "disable" in the Google app setting?

There is a reason google took away the am/pm on the status bar and changed the color to black: to stop burn in. It's a real issue and people should be wary of it.

Banding on google screen is it normal ?

Love the fact that the s3 has no apparent banding on most screens however ive noticed on the google email creation page there is banding ... also where the same blue is used (mainly on email sign up pages) the same banding is there
Has anyone else got this ?
Every other page is crisp and no banding i just wonder more that worry why the google page has it ?
On my note a lot of pages have banding so im not that worried its a 1000% better

I was always under the impression that was actually the design of that background image.
Hello.
Try that...
It will fix your problem.
It will work to any rom you have.
Credits goes to Zabalba for his work.
It is a default ugly background that appears in some settings/apps. It is the wrong choice of background as it makes the amoled black look like lcd black if you don't know it is the background.

Are you sure this only happens on that specific page? For me, it happens on all pages with that background.

[Q] Change the status bar icons

Im REALLY annoyed by that ugly ATT 4g icon, the inconsistent sizes, the information overload that fills the top of the screen basically. I just moved to android with this S4, previously I was a happy iPhone user. Is there any simple way to replace/theme the status bar icons? and for the love of god can I just turn them off without having to disable the services?
Im rooted, running Nova, I've tried obsidian menus bar, doesnt work and clearly would be a bandaid anyway.
Id rather not go trolling around in the systemui.apk, but if thats the only way and its safe to OTA afterwards then Ill do that. I just really hate the design of the status bar.

I'm like you. I very much prefer as minimalist a status bar as possible, so I made icons so my status bar looks like this with everything enabled:
Obviously, I never have all those icons active. Usually just the battery, signal, wifi, and alarm are active, but I enabled them all so you have an idea of what they look like. I posted all the icons in this thread if you'd like to use them:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275858
Also, there's a mini tutorial about how to cluster the signal strength and signal type/in-out icons, because I think it's an absurd waste of space to use TWO icon spaces just to basically show you have cell phone signal and how strong it is.
Basically, I understand your pain. The clutter that comes with the stock status bar is absurd.

Theme

Snapdragon user here.I found an app if you used substratum previously (as it doesnt work anymore)Called Good Lock in Galaxy App Store,you can theme your galaxy with it and it's not too bad actually.
What is your Guys Opinion on this ? I think Its great that Samsung is letting us do customization
i like the recent screen custom
Too bad it only themes the quick settings panel.

Part of the panel as a whole. Settings and other system apps are not themed.

I've had it since my Note 5 and it's really nice.
I have an issue though. When I make the notification tray transparent, and I pull it down, the zone of the notification bar is shown a little bit brighter. Do you guys know how to fix this?
Edit: Ignore the screenshot, it's cropped wrong
