Hi guys. I was just wondering if it would be possible for someone who is good at making themes for the nexus s and if they could either make a Windows Phone 7 style notification bar with the battery icon and signal ect ... Or a full theme including a similar style lock screen. I have installed launcher7 and the WP7 apps to make it look like WP7 as much as possible but all I need now is the status bar. I even have the WP7 lockscreen and contacts app with Facebook intergration. Please help. Thanks

Solution: get a FOCUS for cheap locally. Use when you want WP7. That's what I do.

Ha ha very funny. Some people dont have the money and dont really want the phone as there is a lot you cant do with it eg apps like what android have. All I want is the UI and that us it. I dont want Microsoft ****ty phone just the UI. All I need is the status bar to look like the wp7 phone and that is it as everything else I have make it look like wp7.

I would definitely like to see this as well, I really like the font and clean look. Although Focus' are fairly inexpensive in the states, usually around $150 where I am but carrying 2 devices is a bit much.

Well that's my point exactly and I already have two phones as it is. My nexus s and my x10 so to have a third phone my trousers would literally fall down with all the weight of the phones. My x10 I help devs with there ROMS by giving them my tweaks I know and my nexus s is my everyday phone.

Yes I know that but that is just for.the homescreen. When you open an app it swithches back to the stock status bar. What o want is a status bar with the the wp7 icon so I can switch off the launcher one and just have one set.

Are you looking for something like my application, StatusBar+, or something else?

I am also still searching for a ROM that is built based on WP7. I feel like it is kinda cool if u get ure phone to run as android but look like something else. I feel as if it stands out.
I also hv everything installed to make my phone look like WP7. Juz like BlackWatch89 said. The only thing left is the statusbar. Using StatusBar+ is most likely sufficient but I do not own a credit card to upgrade to full... T.T
Wud love to see a ROM built based on WP7 or myb hv the UI look like WP7.
latest MIUI + this theme ( http://www.2shared.com/file/bAnRD1bx/WP7Dark_Blue-1.html ) + launcher7 = wp7 theme which is practically based on ics!! It gives you lock screen, camera (not sure), and much more!

Thanks for the reply!
Is there anything else like this (preferably free) that doesn't look like iOS? (I know, why would I want iOS features without the iOS look?)
Sent from my MB300 using Tapatalk
I use the MIUI rom, even though I'm not a fan of the iProducts. Aside from a few features and the lack of an app drawer, mine doesn't look like an iPhone since I've themed it. It has the feature you're looking for, but I'm not sure if they make the rom for your phone - or if you're rooted, for that matter.
I know Go Launcher Ex does this in the app drawer. I didn't use it long enough to notice if it does it on the homescreens as well.
thanks for the info - I'm an ex-iphone user and I'll check these out.

You can use shootme for screen shots and some ROMs like MIUI have it built in. And for the 4 icons that don't move alternative launchers like ADW and Launcher pro etc. have that and it wont movie when you move screen and you can change it to your needs

Miui is a rom that looks just like the iphone. it has the 4 icon dock. You can hold and drag the icons to change them up. Miui is a look alike of the ios.

Look at adw ex it has a second dockbar that can be used on any screen and is configurable.

i found them to be buggy and/or insufficient because i lost all the htc sense features. or maybe coredroid is that good of rom to make me not want to lose what i currently have.
I flashed a mod yesterday that gave me a transparent rosie and also keeps the dock at the bottom on all the home screens. Unfortunately it isn't customizable but it is a nice little add on.

Meh.
App Drawer is so laggy(cool transition effects though,love the sphere)
Cannot remove icon label backgrounds
Icons are small(well compared to iOS)
Set the wallpaper as a solid black color, lower the crap out of your dpi and delete all your widgets?
Or is that not what you meant?
There is a QQLauncher in the General Android Development Forum that's trying to imitate MIUI's Launchers behavior.
MIUI is as Close as you can get to iPhone (imo).
Then there's a 'few' icon packs that try imitating iPhone's ICONs aswell.

QQlauncher has an app drawer though.
There is a ported MIUI launcher but it's pretty laggy.

badtip.I bought the ADW launcher and it makes it look like an iphone.I also found an IPhone launcher port to Android...yeah it sucks..i wanted a modified one with widgets and drawers,but i found my answer in ADW.
Also,why dig this thread out of its grave ? @[email protected]
Espier Launcher will give you an iphone feel. Grab it before they get sued off the planet.
wow, that launcher is a pretty damn good attempt. Needs a little bit of work but would work well for someone looking for a springboard launcher
I know it's a bit much to ask and probably won't be around for a while, i'm positive there are people interested in it just as much as me as i'm currently "ICS pimping" my phone out but due to my locked boot loader and fastboot not working due to 02 sim lock (and not having the persuasion or the trust to do it via online no offence due to the costs..) i can't get cm7 running and using that ICS theme i was wondering if anyone could make this ?
With widget locker you can mimic the lockscreen now.
Oh i have the wallpapers, the widget locker and using the ICS clone, the default UI sounds , the ringtones and notifications ripped from the Galaxy Nexus, launcher pro icons theme, the google widget and the clock widget, oh and the market update the google music app update and the google+ update from 4.0
i'm getting there lmao
Couldn't you just switch to ADW or Go Launcher and use one of their ICS themes?

Why not try porting the theme yourself you can edit framework and systemui without needing to decompile so shouldnt be too hard
trust me it attempted it before and i ended up bricking my phone, don't ask probz didn't give it correct permissions , being a uni student leaves me little time to focus on things like that 9:00 A.M. and i'm up to my neck in coursework lol.

I'm new here but I've been learning about custom roms and flashing them to my HTC One X from the amazing ViperXL Rom to CM10 and I was just wondering if anyone knows if its possible to flash Windows Phone 8 on an HTC One X...Maybe its not possible yet but i think the idea would be pretty neat to have it running or emulating on the device right? So anyone has any ideas or know about a developer who may have it on the works?

As far as I am aware, the answer is no. The reason is due to the different hardware(no driver support) and the closed nature of Windows 7/8 it isn't possible to make the rom.

Everyone is always talking about launcher 8, but launcher 7 is a highly polished windows phone launcher that's been around for a long time and has flawless performance. Also if you really like the look there are great lockscreen, keyboard, status bar, calculator, SMS, and dialer apps. I tried it for awhile and it was kind of cool. I can dig up the names of them if you want

As others have said I don't think it's possible but I also think that it would be cool to try. Can I just say that the first time I ever used Android it was on an old Windows Mobile 6.1 device, it ran like **** but at least it was an effort and it was a lot more fun than just buying a new phone.

"wp7lock" for lock screen replacement (this one is really nice and polished
"windows phone notifications" for that little banner thingy at the top
