Hello all,
Can anyone point me in the right direction for a very stable rom either 4.2 or 4.3, that comes with Halo floating notification features and also the other usual usual goodies such as customising the status/nav bar, theme choose etc.
AOKP would be perfect, however that does not come with the Halo notification features.
I would prefer avoiding PA/aospa as that is a bit too feature packed for me.
I am currently using the Mahdi 4.4.2 rom which has the features I am looking for for, including the floating notifications but I can't seem to settle with KitKat for some reason.
Thanks.

Is there a way to replace the software controls with custom ones? I'd like it to be glossy like Blur but add my own buttons such as menu and search, is that possible?
Using the Paranoid Android ROM you can modify the colors of the bar and also add your own buttons such as menu, etc.
It should be possible on quite a number of ROMS. I believe Cyanogenmod, Carbon, AOKP, ParanoidAndroid all have features to move around/customize which ever soft keys you would like. However, I am not sure whether the color feature is still around, I know Cyanogenmod doesn't have it yet, but it was in earlier versions. ParanoidAndroid has that feature. AOKP did in 4.1, but not sure about 4.2 would have to check, but that should give you a relatively good idea.
The moral-just rearranging icons almost all Roms should have it. Color that will only be on very specific ROMs, most famously ParanoidAndroid.

Can confirm that AOKP has color control on 4.2+ builds
There's this little bug that's been really pissing me off lately, and has forced me off any ROM based on AOKP.
When you click the recent apps button, the animation shows a screenshot of a different app, usually the one you opened first (For example, when you first open up settings, the animation shows a screenshot of the settings app contracting, then when you open up GPlay, the contraction animation still shows the same screenshot from the settings app)
I know it's not from either CM or PA because neither ROM has it. For some reason, PACMan is also free from this bug. Literally every other ROM that's based off AOKP or is AOKP has it though.
What I'm wondering is, is there a quick fix for this (I know the PIE screen sticking bug was fixed by enabling HW overlays, I'm looking for something of that sort)? AOKP has, by far, the most options out of any ROM for statusbar and navbar customization and I want to be able to use the vast majority of the ROMs on Original Dev and Android Dev.
And yes, I am autismal about this stuff, check your cis privilege, scum.
I moved from apple to android not a long time ago and I'm still missing the popups I toke to be trvial. Any decent popup application to share?
Thanks! :victory:
You can download a ROM with Halo. ROMs such as Paranoid Android, Carbon has this.
App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=robj.floating.notifications
Halo is more advanced as it does a multi window feature for better multi tasking. Do note these ROMs are on 4.2.2 and not 4.3 just yet.
Hi there,
Seeking some advice on a ROM. Hate the look of stock LG G2, just installed stock-like kitkat on my old GNex and saw the google experience launcher with transparent everything, DO WANT. However I'm afraid of losing some features of stock LG software. Maybe you guys can recommend some ROMs, or if it's best to stay stock to get all the features I want, recommend some mods that will give me all the ROM features I want?
Things I NEED
Knock On/ Knock Off (LG feature)
4.4 Stock "Look and Feel" (fonts, transparent bars all around, appearance of time and battery and notifications bar, black instead of white setting menu, etc, you get the picture)
Always listening on the home screen, possibly the lock-screen, pretty much anywhere I can have it all over the UI (as per 4.4, not LG)
Recent Apps button instead of a menu button (as per 4.4, not LG)
Open apps from the lockscreen with apps icons already visible when looking at lockscreen (not the style where you hold finger over lock icon to see a choice of apps in a circle, and then have to swipe a specific direction. I used to have that and didnt like it as much as I like LG stock way of actually showing icons without you touching anything, and you swipe the icons, not a lock towards the icons)
Circle battery type thing on status bar that shows percentage
Things I haven't tried/am not sure about but might want from stock LG software, and might not want to lose flashing to custom ROM
Better stock camera?
SmartShare from the gallery app? (says it uses wifi/bluetooth to stream content to other devices)
Beam/DNLA/I don't even remember what it's called or what app I found it in?
Quickremote
You tell me please? I'm sure there's a bunch of stuff I've yet to discover that I might want (are any of LG's apps e.g. notebook useful?)
Things that are cool but not really necessary
Themes and a ton of extra features -- used to use AOKP and they had a decent amount of extra feature, not too few like CM, not too many like other ROMs where my head just starts spinning from all the features
Other
I'd really prefer not to have to wipe all the time, CM's OTA update feature was awesssooome when I had CM on my GNex, but CM is a little feature-lite for me, I mean it was good though, that's just a minor complaint. But if there's something better fitting my criteria above I'll put up with having to wipe to flash updates of the same ROM in the future if its necessary. I just never understood why OEMs can push OTAs to people and never make them wipe, but for custom ROMs (updating new versions of same ROM) I have to re-set-up everything every time
A lot of this stuff has been addressed already. Most ROMs have knock on built in, but not knock off. The work around is downloading an app that turns the screen off, and using a gesture control in another app (such as Nova Launcher) to double tap the home screen to turn the screen off. Though personally, I just have screen off set to my nav ring so I can access it from any page I'm on.
There's a flashable install here on the forums some where for Quick Remote. Works fine on AOSP ROMs.
As for 4.4 stuff, I have no idea.

How did you do that? I nowhere find a setting to change anything in the navigation ring.

Just to preface, I'm not a developer but I'm trying to learn more about how developing ROMs works.
Back in the day, mostly on my other phones (e.g. LG G2 and older ones) with some of the crazier custom ROMs like Resurrection Remix and DirtyUnicorns, they'd be chock full of weird features that I imagine the majority of people never used but I loved them. Most notably Pie Controls and navigation bar tweaks where you could set 3 to 5 targets in a ring that you swipe up from the home button to jump to apps or actions, from any screen. Probably the single most useful tweak in any ROM I can remember.
I know Oreo roms are still in their infancy, but how does adding features to a ROM like Pie controls and expanded desktop etc work? Is there any way at all I could compile a flashable zip to add those myself, or or those things that have to be baked into the source of a custom ROM? Just haven't seen them in any new roms in the past couple years.

Well ok Nougat, but what about any Oreo ROMs?
I'm really wondering if there's a way to modularly add entire feature blobs like that to any given ROM. Kinda Xposed-style.

No
LMT launcher is great for pie controls. Doesn't display all icons correctly in Oreo, but still functions otherwise, and developer says an update is coming soon.
