I am keen to remove the redundant settings in the TouchWiz taskbar - you know, the brightness settings and toggle switches.
From the logic of previous android devices, these settings are an app running in the background. I suspect the app is CP Message. Can anyone confirm this?
Oh man i cant tell you how badly i would love to get rid of the brightness toggle when sliding my finger over the notification bar. it is my most hated feature of these devices. Unfortunitely it is still prevalent even with touchwiz removed.
someone should make a work around, put it in the market, charge $5 and make a living off sales forever.
unfortuniely i havent been able to find any accounts where people have been able to remove it or some of the other redundent touchwiz features.
Why not try switch to a new launcher app, like ADW.Launcher or LauncherPro?

As you probably know, because custom launchers dont modify the taskbar. For that you would need a custom rom.
So far it appears as though custom roms are not replacing the taskbar though. Which makes me one sad camper.

So far there are no custom roms.
What would you call any of the roms that are posted at these forums? Why wouldn't they be called "custom roms"

I would call them roms for devices that are not the galaxy tab.
These particular subforums currently have have no custom roms.
If you want to be the first to make one, I and many others will be suitably impressed
bump - please move to development shr
So, you know, um, set Brightness to "auto" in Sound and Display and that locks the notification bar invisible slide to brightness feature.
I will say that the TouchWiz notification bar tweaks are one of the big selling points of TouchWiz for a lot of people. No accounting for taste, I reckon.
The xScope web browser can hide the top bar, so it is obviously something that a launcher could do too. I haven't tried with any of ADW.Launcher, Launcher Pro, and the stock launcher...anyone with the patience to go through each of the app settings ?
I really don't think its an app,as all the corresponding immages and control files are in framework...like miui rom or cm6.1...
Hi!
I want Tablet Mode on my Stock Nexus 7, but the Tablet-Mode-Patch is for the oldest Stock ROM. Does it still work with 4.2.1? Cuz I dont like DPI Change...

kodiak, how did u deodex it?
You don't need to deodex. Grab the 4.2.1-TabletUI.zip from the following link (Post 912) and apply in recovery. Laucher is messed up but Nova Launcher free works great.

you could also install paranoid android, where you can choose which layout (phone, phablet, tablet...) you wish to use, you can even set layouts for individual apps or app groups (e.g. Launcher + google mail in tablet mode, other apps stay phablet)

I am currently running paranoid androids latet rom, and the main thing I'm struggling with is that the 3 buttons (back, home, and the 3rd button that brings up recent apps) are centered, when I want them on the let side. Does the patch fix that?
Also, is there a way to remove the lock screen tiles? I think I saw other threads saying that this change was related to the lawsuit but didn't find anything that allows you to take those off. At the very least I'd want to change the font if I have to keep it.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Yes the tablet patch takes the 2 seperate nav bar and task bar and puts them to the bottom like they should be imho.
I dont even run the lock screen so I cant answer that question.

In Paranoid settings, change the UI to Tablet UI (mid) and you'll have the navigation bar buttons to the left hand side like you want.
Also, the way to get rid of the lockscreen tiles is to install Lockscreen Policy.

Hi everybody,
I was wondering if exist any method or mod to hide the navigation bar on the stock-rooted 4.2.2 ROM? I tried with fullscreen+piecontrol pro, but there is a conflict between fullscreen and piecontrol pro, the last one does not show the notifications...
I know the cyanogenmod and the paranoid roms can do that, but i am trying to preserve the original stock rom...
greetings!!
Edit:
I did it!!! and its very easy!

Add this line to your build.prop- qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
Then use LMT Launcher.

will you listen if someone tells you this is crazy?
you want to preserve the polish of your stock rom, ...by installing a hack? thats like stomping on it. not to mention that its limited.
not many people know this, and this may come as a surprise to you, but nexus roms base on AOSP. in other words, that is stock android you're dealing with. theres no way to do it cleaner, you take android sourcecode, supplied by google, you add google supplied vendor files, and you extend it in a clean way. you end up with a coherent, sane system. you will not loose the polish that you know from stock. its not a clunky do it yourself makeshift solution, it feels and behaves as if its part of the whole.
watch a couple of these vids: http://www.youtube.com/user/molesarecoming/videos?flow=grid&view=0
neither lmt nor any root hack can do it. you really wanna go that way still?

i understand you. what im saying is, instead you take a nicely designed, coherent OS, and you smash it against the wall and stomp on it. by installing dirty hacks that is. theres nothing stock anymore after that treatment, you're dealing with root apps here running all the time, sucking your battery dry, ramping up your cpu. with smali hacks that erode your framework and fragment your android anyway, so its not updatable by OTA. you're going for the dirtiest solution possible thinking you'll stay clean. it just makes no sense.

I found the FullScreen Toggle in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497558
I already know the solution, but the concern is that the screen flashes when moving in such an application message, contact, etc ... it's a shame because this is the only application that does exactly what is being asked, just hide the navigation bar while keeping the tray.
Simple app to hide nav bar and replace it with transparent buttons on the corners
This app called "full!screen" is a quick and easy way to get rid of the nav bar. It (optionally) replaces the buttons with transparent buttons on the lower right and left corners. Very customizable and stable, but it needs root.

I am using this code with GMT gesture. Amazing and I love it. I am on rooted stock.

You can now hide soft keys (and keep notification bar) without modifications and reboots. Just try my new app:
GMD Hide Soft Keys
It also adds Quick NavBar - soft keys that can be openede with simple swipe from bottom and they autohide when not needed.
Hey all, I unlocked/rooted my phone and I'm wondering if there's anyway to customize which settings are in the notification bar? I'm hesitant to install a new rom because the stock rom has been solid, and I had less than stellar results on past android devices when using custom roms (random fc's, slowdowns, etc, even with CM).
Anyway, I basically want a quick flashlight toggle, and maybe put a few more quick settings options in there. Would it require a new rom?

Thanks, another question... what about customizing the unlock screen? Like dragging the slider up opens voice search and left opens camera?:good:
Install battery widget reborn, it has nice notification area, with flashlight, wifi settings, bluetooth, data sync, pretty much everything you have in quick settings

I'm pretty sure that it would require a ROM to put it on the lock ring but there's a camera lockscreen widget and you can touch and hold the nav bar on the lock screen to get search

OP, this is a Nexus. You won't find more functional ROMs. Just pick one and flash it.
So I just picked up my new Verizon LG G2 yesterday and already looking to root and flash a new ROM. I have noticed that you lose the KnockOn/Off feature when you change the stock launcher and even the lock screen, so what I'm looking to find out (like the title states), are there any ROMs that support KnockOn/Off? Searched through a few different ROMs and couldn't find specifics. Really don't want to lose that feature.
Knock on always will work. It's like a default I've noticed. Knock off ours where it gets tricky. You can use Apex launcher and customize the double tap gesture and download an app in the market for screen off and program that to the double tap gesture. That's what i use on custom Roms.
