I decided to play around with my phone and create a new layout. I'm currently using GC 1.9.1 and would like to have the battery and time icons removed, and( unless someone can point me to a text widget) have the signal indicator colored white. Attached is a screenshot of my current layout. I'm trying to go for a very simplistic text layout. If anyone can lend their assistance I will make sure there is some monetary compensation. Thanks in advance!

My sugestion would be to wait. Making the clock and battery go away will be an option kn GC 2.0. We are getting close to finishing, it wont be long now. I cant give you an exact time, as we ourselves dont know, but hang in there, great things are coming.

Just checked. Yes it is an option.
Backup your current services.jar or you can pull it from the gummy zip just in case you want to revert but here you go, will remove the battery and clock. Just flash it in recovery, been using it for a week or so and it works fine.

Thanks mbh! That worked fine. Now I guess I gotta wait on GC 2.0 to be able to remove the signal indicator.

I hate the clock in the bar since I run a bigass time widget. I also run a battery percentage widget so I look for a non accurate battery icon, but nuking it is even better. Thanks

Keep it clean and smooth. Don't need all the junks.
Usable
-GPS Lock
-A2DP
-Good Camera
-low battery drain
-A good, fast launcher that's fully customizable
-I love notification toggles
Make it all work and you'll get the devotion of the entire community!
Notification toggles are a must. I can't use a rom without them.

-HDMI output control
-Ability to use both Netflix and HBO Go.
-Colorized theme
-Toggle controls (sound, wifi, data, gps, etc) in drop down.
Battery life is the most important aspect for my daily needs. Not of big fan of CM7. I would prefer a Rom setup similar to stock regarding internal and external storage.
Add lots of color but keep the fonts stock. Theming the black and white icons found on stock would be great.
+1 on the NetFlix comment.
Thank you for your efforts.

Personally I would like to see a pure Gingerbread rom with OC'ed kernel and just adding the Theme Chooser. I don't need notification toggles because I can just use the power control widget on a homescreen in order to toggle. I'm more interested in speed and stability myself and don't worry about battery life like others. Though I can see how battery life would be important. I OC right now to 1.55/1.55 with performance governor, so my personal battery life is crap, lol.
Just something simple, stable Kernel (but without sacrificing performance and battery life), and definitely gotta have the LG camera.
So, I'm guessing most of you would like a 2.3.3 based ROM?

Would be nice if it were 2.3.5, lol.
2.2.2 has Enables for Background sync, and Auto-sync. I'd like to have a timed sync - like while "screen off", every n minutes allow background and auto syncing, then disable syncing.
It appears that when WiFi calling is active, the cell radio is enabled or occasionally enabled? I'd like to see the cell radio totally disabled when WiFi calling is active.
Maybe the wrong thread, but it'd be good to be able to "nice" individual processes.
I suppose some of these are already do-able, I just hadn't found it yet.
Thanks.

Hi guys.
Back when I was using my Desire HD I'd rooted my phone and installed Miui. My favourite feature was the battery bar that ran across the top of the notification bar (see http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/222/f/b/wip__by_chrisbanks2-d464k4m.png)
Anyway, now I'm on GNex and I totally miss this feature. I was wondering if something like a 4x1 widget that could display a battery line along the top of the widget to be placed on the top of a page as I've photoshopped above. The first image shows a 100% battery and the second 40%.
Anyway, just an idea someone might wanna follow up I certainly wouldn't mind paying a couple of quid for this and I'm sure other people would agree.

Big THANK to you noranyan for giving us this link !
I was looking for a MIUI-like Battery Bar for days, and now, it's done !
So thank you !
@kaineshutler : you're right, the color sheme is a bit iffy, but stay tuned because perhaps the dev will implement a color selection in the future...
Recently, he added the ability to put the bar on bottom.
So it means that the dev is still working on it !
Thanks for pointing this battery app out. Probably would have never found it. Hope the dev keeps updating it.
On thing I noticed good or bad is that the battery bar is always shown in any app so far, even games. I like it because some games do not show battery, and this is pretty unobtrusive.

Hi there. Lot's of words already said about it. But the main question is still the same - why don't you use live wallpapers?
As for me, any scene's beauty just destroyed on the phone, because it's just too small. But i use lwps for tablets for sure, they are really make it more fascinating.
So, my friends and i desided to make some lwp for those users who do not actually use lwps at all.
The work took about 2 months and resulted in our new app Coloring Screen.
The idea is simple. We took photoshop color filters and photo effects and applied them to the current wallpaper (i mean static picture). The only way to do this was to create live wallpaper so this app is lwp.
We cared a lot about battery use and as a result Coloring Screen has almost no battery drain.
Also we added auto-pan feature for those devices that do not support wallpaper scrolling by default like SGS3.
We added more than 20 photo filters and color effects to easily adjust wallpaper:
Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange filters
Day time,Night time effects
Autumn, Winter, Sprint and Summer adjustments
Classik black&white, Sepia, Neon, Negative and more
We also added interactive animations:
Time of the day (darker, desaturated and more constrast at night, brighter at day)
Seasons (at autumn time wallpaper will look orange, at winter time - white, etc)
Weather (simple and beautiful rain, snow, sun, clouds, thunder and frost animations)
Dynamic/Random/Interactive coloring (for example, swiping the screen will change wallpaper colors)
Already available in Google Play
Please give me your sign and tell me what are you thinking about this app? Do you find it useful/cool/boring/etc.
Thanks!
Battery consumption. There you have your answer. No other reason behind it. Oh and memory consumption. There two good and viable answers.

performance. even with a so called 'beast' specs, my atrix can't handle a lwp without too much lag everywhere...
Enviado desde mi MB860 usando Tapatalk 2
Definitely battery/performance as said above.
It's just sad that many android phones supports Live Wallpapers, but the end-user always complain about battery drain and performance issues as well. I really like the idea of moving wallpapers wherever you go (Desktop & App Drawer), it's really an eye candy for anyone! Well I hope someday, someone might fix this. This is one of Android's most unique feature!

I love live wallpaper, so does evrybody, but nobody uses it daily, only one major reason, battery,bcoz android itself is a battery drainer,so i use multi wallpaper,app from the market,i gives me multi wallpapers, for different screen,n the big plus is it doesn't even drain ur battery,until i get note 2 with bigger battery,i hv to be contended with static wallpaper,im giving ur app a try will report later

Battery life? I really dont understand.
Even if wallpaper drains battery, it's just about 1% of total power consumption (especially in compare with display or wifi/gps/internet usage). It means you are able to use your device for 5 minutes longer a day. It's completely ridiculous.
Btw, as i sad, Coloring Screen does not render anything in background if no weather animation. So battery usage is completely zero. It's behavior as like as regular wallpaper - render to buffer once then do nothing.
But its still 1% same reason why I use zero Widgets. I keep my phone as simple as it gets. Minimum.

Coloring Screen is different and may be kinda nice but I'm not one to sit and stare at the screen, therefore I don't really care what the background looks like.
I don't use them because of the lag they normally bring. It's not a lot but noticeable.
My next phone will probably be a quad core, so hopefully I can start using them again

Thanks! Battery almost not affected. In advanced preferences category you can even find Battery Usage options that is set to 0.00% by default :laugh:
Memory depends on your current available memory. It requires over 11Mb for java and opengl contexts. But so far as android manages memory usage itself you can see much more in task manager because android do not kill apps immidiately. For example, when you have lwp on background and open our preview widget, memory usage doubles. In task manager they both called Coloring Screen so you see incorrect memory usage by the app.
If you'll have troubles just let me know!
Hey guys,
Just letting you know I have leaked 4.1.2 for our devices over in my thread. Link Here
Enjoy. :good:
EDIT: Just a small note, this does not yet include the Premium Pack (multi-window, etc...) this is just Verizon's first test build of 4.1.2. Mostly bug fixes and minor features.
hmm..any nice updates on 4.1.2 over 4.1.1?
Yes the 4.2 gapps and should have multi window stock.
Any difference in the radio?

Yeah, it seems like people are really hyped about 4.1.2. It's basically any custom TW ROM already released, since the 4.1.1 ROMs have 4.1.2 features in them. Now, if it were 4.2, that'd be something to get hyped about!

Nah they're correct to be excited. Samsung explicitly stated their new "premium suite" update with Note 2 features (like multi-window) would become available in 4.1.2. However it seems none of these features are available in the current leak. Perhaps the next one!

Its only been a day BUT I have noticed a huge difference in performance since running it. I havent added anything to the Rom that I havent ran before. I used to have a delay on my menu button when using Apex as my default, its gone, the version of Apex is the same. My camera loads much faster than it used to, I would have a 2-3 second black screen delay when starting the cam. Now its almost instant every time. I have a lot more free Ram than old stock version, I debloated the heck out this Rom and am steady between 480-600mb used with over 1gb free! My last Rom ran between 700mb-1gb used. The Group play app works well actually and its really easy to use. Quad scores are up. Battery seems better, im on 18hrs with 1hr 45min screen on, 59% left.
Again, these are my findings after 24+ hrs, yours will vary. I run LK.
anyone know how many leaks we got before blk3 hit?
