Enjoy!

I just tried out both your battery mods, and they both are awesome. One question though...I don't know if its possible or not, but is there a way to get rid of the color changing feature and just make it the same color as the other buttons on the bar? I only ask because I'm completely weirdo and want it to match. Thanks for the cool mods though, I like seeing actual numbers for my battery so I know for sure how charged up I am.
P.S. What theme/launcher are you using? I really like the 3D app buttons.

Thanks.
Which battery mod are you wanting to be one color? Also I presume you are using stock Menu buttons (blue) and stock ROM right? In the kitchen there is a 'Circle Battery' that is blue throughout the range; I could do this one for you in a couple of minutes.
If you want one of the ones in my original post, it will take me a little bit of time to re-color the icons. Just let me know which.
I'm using the stock launcher- The App icons are all from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16493815&postcount=662 Enjoy.

Will these work with 3.2 based roms?

No. Not as-is.
If you want I can make which ever battery mod you like specifically for your ROM. I'll need your framework-res.apk to do so. Just pm me.

Thanks, worked like a charm! And thanks for the app icons, desktop visualizer with that icon pack makes my home screen look amazing.

Awesome .
Can you make a digi-wifi ? Pretty please
The digi-battery font is too large.
Any chance you can make it the same size as the clock font ?

Explain the 'digi-wifi' request for me, I don't understand what you mean.

Maybe he means a numbered % in place of the boring inverted triangle.

Yes i want a wifi signal. Not a couple of bars that dont mean anything.
Wifi signal is a negative number though. So it is 0 dBm to -100 dBm.
And its way more accurate if the update interval is set properly.

Gotcha.
Unfortunately I don't know if that can be done. I don't know of a way to make the system actually 'read' the wifi value and display it. The way systemUI uses the icons now is just displaying them in a sequence of 4-5 icons (not including traffic) in a preset value order.
I could make up a few -numbered values in photoshop to use them as icons but they would be just as 'meaningless' as 4 bars.
Sorry.

bump for peeps

How do you change icons images with the stock launcher?
I downloaded them and desktop visualizer but the images remain tiny.
I tried it with vtl launcher...icons still are small?
Id like to stick with the vtl launcher so i may have to keep the small icons ill play around a little more.

[Request]HTC IME mod with arrows for aosp ics Rom

Hi. I'm running liquidsmooth ics Rom on my tbolt. The only thing that's missing is a working HTC IME keyboard with arrows. Please anybody. Spent about two days downloading different types of HTC IME files from this forum and trying to flash them via recovery with no luck at all

I'm no dev, and I don't like to be a negative nelly, but you're trying to take a piece from Sense UI and make it work in AOS/KP. Two very different beasts making it a tough challenge to pull off right. It would be nice, but it probably won't happen.

I know this isn't what you asked for, but since what you asked for is pretty unlikely to happen, I thought I'd offer this as an alternative.
I use Swiftkey-3 as my keyboard, and it is a fantastic keyboard aside from the fact that it has an option for showing arrows.
Here is a screenshot just so you know what it looks like.
It might get you what you want in a very easy way, easier than trying to flash a sense keyboard over an aosp rom.
Plus it has several themes which look nice. This one looks really good with ICS I think.

What version of Swiftkey ? I have v1.1.91 ... just got it from the Amazon store 1-2 days ago. I see no option for turning on arrows, nor does mine even look like that. That looks like a stock Android keyboard while mine is rather HTC-Sense-looking (larger buttons, light gray color, etc).

You have to go to options, and the theme section. Different themes will change the color. Also the arrow option is in the theme section.
Your version is old, it may not have all of that. I am using 3.0.4.343
I bought it back on the old version and I upgraded for free, but I bought it on the google market, not sure how amazon handles updates like that.
My version is 2 upgrades newer than yours I think. First there was your version, SwiftKey, then Swiftkey-X then Swiftkey-3.

Yeah, that's the problem. I actually got it for free from Amazon. Later, it appeared that maybe Swiftkey pulled the app 'cause you couldn't update it. Seems that the version after mine was Swiftkey-X and they weren't doing upgrades between "major" versions.

Swiftkey x has the beta before they made it Swiftkey 3. I used it for a while and I actually bought Swiftkey 3 when they finalized it because Swiftkey x was good and now I don't use Swiftkey because it got really sole for some reason.

That stinks. But I think it's only a few bucks on the Google Market, so it might be worth it to you.
Get SwiftKey-3 if you do, not X.

I don't think its a tough challenge at all as long as u make it a separate app not a flashable zip that modifies the default touch input keyboard which aosp roms don't have.
I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844512. It works great. It just doesn't have arrows
Arrows are the must for me. Use them to go back and forth to edit the misspelled words in the messages I type.

[Curious] Did you know this?

Samsung's own user interface was changed by the time. If you have a Touchwiz UX phone running Jelly Bean, you can find something, a beta screenshot of how was the Touchwiz UX UI when was in beta stage:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Which is different from this one:
For me, the beta version was much better than the final one. You can find it at SecMms.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi. Maybe there's some other screenshots hidden in other Samsung Apps.
The screenshot maybe was took from an S3 Prototype by the resolution (1280x720) [1230x720 without the Statusbar] and because the leaked prototype has a pretty much similar ui:
So, what do you think? Who its better for you?

They're both awful compared to AOSP, but the beta is LESS awful

The beta one looks cool.

I can't understand people who think AOSP actually looks good. It looks like some nerdy high school kids with no sense of style made it. Blue status icons, are you kidding me? I can understand users preferring the advantages AOSP offers, but design isn't one of them. Both TW and Sense are superior in terms of design by a mile.
BTW, also on the list of the worst of the worst has to be the Android name and also the Droid series by Motorola. Both are horrible and are targeted to geeks still playing with their Transformers.

It's subjective. I disagree with everything you say. Touchwiz and sense are too "coloured". As a design buff, I much prefer AOSP. I prefer the regimented 1 colour background, 1 colour Icon. Anything else looks messy to me. Personally since I love pure black and blue is my favourite colour, AOSP looks gorgeous too me (once you get rid of the holo crap). Better than those Touchwiz and sense UI's that I used to draw myself with crayons back in the early 80's.
But design is subjective and you have to realise that. You will never understand why someone feels the complete opposite as you about something because you are not them.
Even back when I ran touchwiz roms, they HAD to be themed AOSP. I don't think there is anything geeky about slick design and uniformed colours.
That said, i run a similar design on Linux, because I do not like multicoloured icon sets.

The beta looks far better than the shameful end result. AOSP looks nice, but Sense beats all.

I much prefer 4.x AOSP to 2.3 AOSP. The blue is a much better colour scheme than the green/black that was on gingerbread.
In regards to AOSP generally, I prefer the look to TW. It might lack functionality (which is why Cyanogenmod and other aosp alternatives exist) compared to TW and later editions of Sense, but I do prefer the interface

Anywho, the beta do look better imo, than the final product.

You do realise that flat style icons and pastel colours for icons and wallpapers existed before ios7? This 'copying' ios7 complaining is getting a bit stupid now. It's simply a current trend, and in a few years we will all have different style icons etc as stock on our phones, and then they will change, and so on.

I completely understand that, but as well finger recognition was also used before by the motorola atrix but when iphone featured it lg and samsung included it to the flagships, i know that apple isnt really innovating but it annoys me that android brands usually put same features than apple does without creating an own image or features(excuse my english)

It really bugs me how iOS is given credit for the 'flat' look when in fact all Apple did was copy Metro. Metro in WP7 as the first true flat UI and its still the best looking.

In theory though it is a debate that goes round and round and round with no answers. We like to accuse apple of copying our pull down notifications, and now windows phone is getting that too. Companies will use as much of other peoples ideas as they can, just in their own way and always will (then apple will sue them anyway . . . . I kid, I kid). Luckily we have the option of changing our icons at will on android, so if people don't like it they can change it easily.

Compared to the Current & New UI ....... with same widget & icons i will prefer the new UI :good:
New UI is not awesome or amazing but compared to G2 or G Pro this is much better (IMO)

I like the new icons ok but they could tone that bright blue down some...

RANT- Are You Kidding Me? The Wallpaper in the Ads Doesn't Exist?

OMG - so first the freakin' phone ain't white, not even close, it is an UGLY light cool-toned cement color THEN the effin' wallpaper you see in all of the ads DOESN'T EXIST IN A RESOLUTION HIGH ENOUGH FOR THE N6 WHERE IT WOULD LOOK DECENT!!!! And all of the stock wallpapers are butt ugly.
Google - WTF? Pull your head out of your arse.

Hahahahaha, I will probably have more complaints, but wow the color is ugly and so are the wallpapers. My skin is on the way so I will remedy the ugly color soon and of course, it won't be hard to find a wallpaper I like.
But STILL - I was looking forward to a white phone and I actually liked the wallpaper in the ads.

Well don't start looking hard at the meager options in the camera app [emoji6]

The back color is not off-white. It is gray. There is way too much black and blue in the color to call it off white. And it is not a nice shade of gray either.
And why show that wallpaper in the ads? I think it was an admission that the stock wallpapers were ugly, lol!

So much hate! Why even bother to buy one?

I am not one of those people as I always put a case on my phones. I could care less about what color it is.
And I would NEVER put a girl with a kite as my wallpaper. Thinking about it I don't know if I have ever used any stock wallpapers.... Although the new galaxy 6 ones looked nice

Sorry to hear that, but why would you want to copy that ad anyways? Make it your own
So far the only thing I've found was the loss of "gallery" on the stock image. now, mind you I use photos, and didn't need the Gallery, however it was AOSP, and the thing that photos doesn't have that gallery did, was the photos widget.
That said, I've no widget to place a picture on any of my homescreens, and I kinda liked having that, placed different ones of my daughter and wife ...
That said, anyone know of a small app that can accomplish that itself? I'll be unlocked. rooted and custom recovery over the weekend, but don't really want to have to add Gallery back, and some reported that you couldn't (maybe missing other aspects of it that would be included in an AOSP build).

You can add Gallery back but you have to freeze or uninstall Photos. The Kit Kat apks are here http://androidcentral.us/2014/01/download-android-4-4-kitkat-stock-apps-for-your-android/
Qicpic is a better program but doesn't have a widget

You must have loaded it another way as the install off the apk would not complete until I froze it. I found the answer from others having the same issue. Do you think I did not try and install normally first? [emoji6]

I use muzei from the play store for wallpapers. You can create a folder of images or install a source for muzei to cycle through. Pretty dope.

Um well, as I said, I have a skin on the way and I am sure I can find a wallpaper I like. But STILL this is ridiculous - the phone isn't even close to white and they advertise it with this wallpaper that doesn't exist at least at a resolution that would make it look like the ads.

Oh, those look nice! Once I get my new skin I will download one of those. Where can I find them in high enough definition for the N6?

the phone isnt white, nor was it ever claimed to be. its "cloud white", a color completely different than white.

Exactly, when was the last time anyone saw a cloud and said "Man that cloud is spectrally white."
I love the "My phone is not the color it looked like on uncalibrated computer screen."

So you can't use a photo as your wallpaper?

There is no such color as "cloud white" anywhere but on the N6. And given that description, no one I know thinks the name "cloud white" evokes images of a light, cool-toned cement color, lol!
Cloud white could be an off-white, sure, but there is nothing white at all about the cloud white N6 - the freakin' thing is gray.
