I know there is an option to use ICS of Jelly Bean search bar. I thought the difference between these two was the ICS said "Google" and the Jelly Bean said "G". No matter which option I choose it displays "Google". Am I doing something wrong or do I need to change a setting?
Also on another subject I don't really like the new update to Apex, it kinda screwed with the icon size in the app drawer. Is there a way to change that as well?
Thanks!
I get the G when I do it. I do agree with icons in the drawer.

So after changing to TWA_PRIV's Jelly Bean ROM from ICS I see "G" in landscape mode but I still get "Google" in vertical mode. Is this normal?

Hello,
I have not found this question about the sensation but apologies if I have missed it.
I am just wondering if there is a way of disabling the message preview on the lock screen but leaving it so it DOES still show on the status bar. I like the fact that you can read a message 'in app' as it scrolls across the status bar but don't like the idea of the message popping up and staying on the screen if you leave my phone sat on a desk!

messages>settings>notifications>untick notification preview
this way will also toggle the status bar preview
Thank you for the reply but...
As I mentioned, I still like the status bar notification preview but don't want the lock screen preview. It's my understanding that your suggestion turns off both?
It will turn off both... I think its not possible with HTC lockscreen (atm) but you can use an additional Lockscreen like Widgetlocker.
I thought that may be the case, I know it can be done on galaxy sII.
Thank you though.
settings-privacy- then untick it

I was looking for this too since it was available in Gingerbread (sense 3.0) but i think it's not available in sense 3.6! This is what i did: I unticked the option in privacy settings and then i flashed shnizlon's AOSP theme and chose to install ONLY aosp status bar with toggles! Now i have sense with AOSP staus bar ( which i prefer ) and messages are shown on the status bar but not in HTC lockscreen! You should know that when you flash this mod it automatically replaces the Sense settings with the aosp one so you must UNTICK the option in privacy settings before you flash the mod OR change the same option in messages settings!

yeah me too man... i loved that on my stock rom. maybe HTC will add it on in the official ICS.
I just installed RaymanFX's JB CM10 port and I am very happy with it. However, there are still a few things that I don't know about Jelly Bean. Maybe somebody can teach me
How do I remove all notifications at once from the status bar? On ICS I clicked a small "x" and all notifications disappeared.
How do I get the little dots back that indicate on which home screen I am? I tried the setting "settings -> Launcher -> Homescreen -> Show page indicator" but it doesn't show.
I might add to this list as I familiarize myself with that amazing ROM.
Thanks all

At the top right of the notification pop-up you'll see three slanted bars. Click that to remove all notifications.
Yeah, the slanted lines act as a clear notifications.
As for the home screen indicators, I'm not sure if the stock launcher has that ability. You might have to install another launcher. Lately, I've been liking Nova, it's really customizable.

For the homescreen indicators you can use any other launcher... Beeing using nova launcher and no problems so far...

Yes, I started using it today. It's nice so far!
BTW - Nice avatar \m/
Watching an html5 video in full screen on chrome beta seems to trigger it. it also appears out of the blue sometimes.
Screenshots attached. Its that faint circle on upper left hand corner.
I also get this, but i get it whenever I'm reading an article in pocket, and sometimes the whole status bar dims and some of the icons disappear until I pull it down. Are you on sense jellybean?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
i've been wondering the same thing.
Yes. stock rooted jelly bean, so im sure its not a mod.
been trying to figure this out as well,
curious are you guys using google now by any chance?
im on cm10.1 and i get that same thing every so often im beginning to think its google now or something since i always use it for weather. but i could be wrong.
I may have solved the mystery. I pushed the SystemUI.apk file to my computer to analyze it and that icon is called ic_sysbar_lights_out_dot_small.jpg .
This is supposed to be shown on devices with soft navigation buttons like the Galaxy Nexus when in "Lights out" mode to replace the back, home and task switcher buttons with faint circles so you can ,say, watch a movie in full screen and not be distracted by the buttons.
I have no idea why it's being shown in the notification area.. maybe Google added it as an additional visual cue in JB, and HTC didn't bother to remove it?
Anyway, I'm pretty confident that's what it is.
Ok, as I have been guilty of using the Development thread for asking a user type question I thought I might kick this thread off as a "How to do simple tasks in Jellybean EOS#4"
Link to Rom and Development thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35828448&postcount=1
Its more so that I can ask questions and get them answered here so that others can also learn the basic's as it is really packed full of lots of little goodies that we have had to use other apps to do..
As I get time I will try to add screen shoots of some of the basic operations so that it is easier and keeps the development thread clean for Tim and others to carry on the work to get this rom settled.
Honestly the EOS jellybean series of Roms are great for daily use and as I was on EOS#3 for a few months, I have no hesitation in suggesting "Take the leap".
All credits go to the developers and the hours they have spent pulling this fork together.
And in case you forget how to install here it is from the horses mouth..
How to install:
Going to EOS4.2.1 from a rom < 4.2:
Backup everything !
Go to recovery
Make a full wipe / factory reset
format /system
Flash the rom
Flash gapps
Wipe cache/dalvik
Reboot
Updating from EOS 4.2.1 #XX to #YY:
You can skip the full wipe step

The following is a cut and paste from Frederuco's thread over at Asus Transformer Forum - TF101
Would like to Thank him for his work and all credits for the time spent on this already..
Is Adobe Flash supported on this ROM?
Yes and no - Adobe has dropped flash support for Android. The latest versions were for 4.0 in August 2012.
HOWEVER - You can still sideload flash. First, go to Settings - Security - Unknown Sources. Tick the box. Next, go to the Adobe Archives and download the latest version for Android 4.0. After it downloads tap on it to install it.
Flash works well in the stock Browser, Firefox, Firefox Beta and Boat Browser. Dolphin has disabled flash support for JellyBean last time I checked.
My battery is draining fast
Check your WiFi sleep settings. Settings - WiFi - Tap the button in the top right, Advanced, WiFi on during sleep - Never. Keep in mind, this is forced. No need for AutoAirplane Mode, this ROM forces the WiFi off when the tablet is sleeping.
There is also a setting for how long after you put the tablet to sleep that WiFi stays on. EOS Control Center, go to the Systems settings. Change the SCREEN OFF WIFI IDLE DELAY.
How do I get rid of the circle touchpad and get a real pointer?
Open EOS Control Center. Top right, change from Interface to System. Tap on Device Settings. Touchpad Mode. Change from Gestures (CIRCLE) to Trackpad (Arrow)
My Volume is lower than it was on stock
Most custom ROMs for JellyBean have had some volume issues. There is an app for that! It is made by none other than TimDuru.
It is the K.A.T Toolbox. K.A.T - V1.2.4 [ICS][JB4.1-4.2.1] App | Audio enhancer | Misc fixes | Scanner Filters.
Read more about what it is and how to use it in the development
Grab the latest and install it. Once installed, open it. Grant root permissions. Tap the Audio Section. Tap the Cascade Digital + Analog Levels and Link Volumes to Volume Keys. This will give you about as much volume as you can get out of your tablet. Volume levels go from 0 to 63.
The dock is using a US layout and I do not have a US dock. How do I change it?
You probably already tried changing the AOSP keyboard in the Language and input with no luck. Well, it is not there. It is buried in the EOS Control Center.
Open EOS Control Center. Top right, change from Interface to System. Tap on Device Settings. Tap Dock Keyboard Layout. Choose the proper layout and then you will need to reboot for the settings to take effect.
I have the dock, is there a way I can hide the NavBar but keep the notification bar at the top?
Yes, open the EOS Control Center. Scroll down and tick the HIDE NOW under the Navigation Bar section. If you want it hidden on boot, you can also tick the box for it.
Even if you DON'T have the dock, you can install the app LMT and set up thumb controls to swipe in from the left or right to use.
Can I hide the system bars to get a true FULL SCREEN experience?
Yes, just hold the LOCK button for 3 seconds. You will see the POWER MENU. Tap the SYSTEMBARS MODE to toggle them off and on.
The Nav Bar takes up as much room as the old Statusbar, plus I lose the top notification bar. Anything I can do?
Yes, open the EOS Control Center and enable the Low Profile Mode. It makes the bottom bar shorter.

Move "jump to Apps button"
And I will go one more..
The little round button with dots that take you to the apps and widgets..
On Apex I can move this around the dock bar, it seems in the stock JB launcher its locked in the middle..
Any trick to move it like Apex launcher?
I would prefer to have it to the right hand corner.

And thats a great thread you have got going over there @Asus Transformer Forum - TF101
Would like to add this one from you as well on that question..
How do I get rid of the darn APP DRAWER icon that is bottom dead center?
The stock launcher has a fixed icon that you cannot get rid of for the app drawer. You will need to check out a custom launcher like Apex, Nova, ADW or another one. I like the look of Apex myself with the App Drawer icon in the top right. Custom Launchers are the way to go IMO, so much more you can do with them compared to the stock ICS/JB launchers.
Do we really need that status bar on top?
Is there a way to get JB 4.2 with the 4.1 layout (no status bar on top, navigation/status bar on the bottom)? I've searched high a low on the interwebs and it looks like this is a no go... My biggest gripe is that the status and navigation bars are not controlled by the launcher, so not even an alternative launcher will do that trick.

There is no way to change to a Tablet UI with Android 4.2
It seems it is all Phablet UI with pull down menus.
The older style Tablet UI with the system bar at the bottom is gone.
Agreed, 4.2 is all Phablet.

I tried to change the layout to Greek but nothing happens. I prefer the stock keyboard so i do not want to use an aftermarket one. Is it possible to be added in the rom so to select it in the system settings menu? I use version 150 with kernel 92 . I am sure that the greek language was included in ICS and i was using it with success. Can that be somehow imported in this rom? When i select greek layout from eos settings after reboot nothing is selected. Is that behavior normal?
edit : as i saw when i remove all languages from asussec keyboard it writes Greek but it can not change the language in English when i desire to do so. So it is missing the ability to have selected both Greek and English language because simple Greek tab is missing. Can that be added?

Best way of tuning the screen off without a power button is using GMD gesture control center, turning 5 fingers anti clock wise shuts the screen off.
