[Q] TW kernel question - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey guys,
I've been looking for a while for a kernel that will
1) work with JB touch wiz
2) provide color options in order to make the screen display colors accurately (a la i9300 or note 2) or at the very least permanently fix the screen so that it displays sRGB accurately.
is there anything out there like that??
I have searched long and hard and come up blank. There are a couple of devs on here that I'd like to talk to about this/ask to include in future builds, but thanks to forum rules I can't. Thanks in advance for any replys.

[Q] [Request] Screen off notifications

I am looking for some help designing an app specifically for the SGSII as it will be useless on any other phone that can't turn off pixels when not in use. I know there are other phones out there that can but thats not my target.
Not sure this is the correct sub forum but please more if needed.
I am looking to create an app like NoLed but instead of it displaying icons and such across the screen I would like it to only display the status bar. I have tried to figure how MADMACK got the app to display when the screen is "off" but no luck. If anyone could help me with this I would appreciate it.
I know I could use the combination of a few apps to achieve this desired look but I really feel that I could improve upon having to use multiple apps and in turn cut battery consumption. I have a little experience so someone with some patience is needed but I do learn quickly and am not against doing my own research. I just need some guidance. I can do some basics in Eclipse and have read some Android Application development 101's but am not finding what I need to know where to start.

[Q] Roms and Kernals

Technically , I don't really understand about the difference between rom and kernals even though I did some research but I'm still lost in the mist. Can someone like explain to me about those?
Really appreciate in advance .
The kernel is a lower layer of code which actually interacts with the hardware of your device. It controls the interactions between the device hardware and its software.
On the other hand ROM is a version of your OS i.e. Android. It is a higher layer of code which controls functions such as the GUI and other things.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the information !
So here's another thing , is it possible for me to add some custom kernel to my original HTC Sense rom? Cause I saw quite a few of some interesting kernel on the web. E.g : cm_brightness which allows you to control the brightness by scrolling ontop of the notification bar and also sleep2wake which allows you to Lock screen and revoke it by scrolling on the bottom part of the phone
I would visit the HTC sence forums on xda and look at the different kernals and roms available there.
I'm not sure if I would trust anything in the wild,and the community there can help you if you run into trouble

[Q] Softkeys for GT-N7000

Need Help with SoftKeys...
I'm a vivid user of Galaxy Note GT-N7000 (Note 1) - lately using Sweet ROM V10.5 BLACK LT9 Jelly Bean 4.1.2. (a BIG thank you to the developer for cooking such a lucid ROM)...
I'm looking out for softkeys that can be increased/decreased in size as per the requirement...(like the ones we have in paranoid/cyanogenmod/stunner/jellybam ROMs to name a few)...
PLEASE do not direct me to the market or for some codes to be used (qemu.hw.mainkeys=0) as I've almost tried all apps in the market, but, NOT HAPPY, with the way SoftKeys appear on the screen and have been frequently hunting for similar threads for more than two months now and suprisingly there is nothing developed so far for the SoftKey feature...
Can some GENIUS out there come to my aide... have been patiently waiting for it. Would be highly appreciated...
Thanking you in advance for your support.

[Q] KitKat navigation bar is centered - can this be changed for tablets?

Hi guys,
I've searched the forum (and Google) for this but can't seem to find an answer to my question.
I've just loaded cm-11-20140625-SNAPSHOT-jcsullins-tenderloin on my HP Touchpad and everything's working A-OK (I did want to post this in the Touchpad/ROM''s forum but I'm a newbie and it looks like I'm not allowed )
The only thing that's driving me nuts is the navigation bar in KitKat, which is centered, and hard to get to when using a tablet (I can see how it makes no difference on a small phone). I'm referring to the very bottom of my first attachment.
The Back button and the other two are too far in the middle to be reachable when holding the tablet in landscape format (and not much better when in portrait) so I'm wondering whether there is a way to change this.
On previous Android versions, these three buttons were on the very left of the screen and so easily reachable without having to let go of the tablet to tap them (see second attachment):
I'm not sure if this is a KitKat thing, or if it's a ROM thing but I would appreciate any help you guys can give me.
Thanks!

Thanks, Primokorn - I checked that thread out but it seems my ROM (CM11) is not working with that UI. Which is a shame since it looks like the perfect solution to my woes!
Any other suggestions, anyone?

Maybe another module or a toolbox has this feature.

Status/Notification bar getting gray/overshadowed randomly

Hi everyone. I recently bought a galaxy note 10 plus. It is a huge and beautiful looking smartphone and also have a nice screen but the little cam dot is kind of annoying so I've decided to use one of that specific wallpapers to "hide" the dot. But, for no reason at all, my notification bar always turn gray, like overshadowed or something like this, losing all of the immersion of the screen with the nice wallpapers.
I've tried contact my local Samsung support but they doesn't even understood my problem.
Is there a way to fix it ?
i've tried to post a Image to Indicate the problem but I'm a new user so the forum don't let me do it. if anyone know a Way to share this and get the real situation, will help.
Thanks
