So, I apparently enabled an alternative look for the battery indicator? Here's how. - Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion

EDIT: I AM AN ASS - Changing the setting I talk about below simply somehow reverts the Poco theme to the standard theme. I am sorry.
EDIT 2: Maybe I'm not that big of an ass! It appears the bar icons are the ones from the classic theme, but everything else belongs to the Poco theme (and settings tell me the Poco theme is active). Interesting, Or maybe I'm just going crazy.
I'm not sure this is the right section to post this to. If it isn't, mods, you are of course free to move it to questions.
To the point: latest stable MIUI, Poco Launcher, I was toying with developer options (I will explain below) and my battery indicator changed to this...

...which I happen to think looks way better than the simple straight-corner rectangle I had before (that I've seen on ALL screenshots, videos, other images online pertaining the stock config).
How I did it is pretty simple: Developer options > Simulate display with a cutout > Select the second option (the one immediately below the default one), then select Simulate etc. again and go back to the default option ("None").
Beware though, it didn't happen the first time I followed these steps, but the second time it did.
Let me know what you think happened. Meanwhile...I dig it!

Here is a new Green WM6.1 Dialer. This is for AT&T/Orange or other providers that do not use the Video Call function. Smart Dialing is enabled & functional with this Dialer.
*Please back up your device or retain the original Dialer images. It should install & uninstall fine (did for me) but best to be safe.
You may need to enable this dialer after installing. You can edit the registry, use kaiser tweak, or advanced configuration tool.
Get it here (or below): http://rapidshare.com/files/89954651/WM6.1-Green-Dialer.rar
Enjoy!
wow! Isn't this is a little hard on the eyes.
Yeah, well, I like my dialer & comm manager & everything else to match the theme I use. Las week was black, this week is green. You don't have to use it. I just thought I'd share it as I've seen some complaints about "why plain black for my COLOR screen device.
BTW, have you EVER posted anything of use? I couldn't seem to find anything

Task bar mods??

Hi, Ive only had my HD2 for a few days now and I am loving it! Had a TG01 and this is far better.
I was just wondering if there are any mods for the icons on the top task bar, I had a Diamond and was able to use a .cab from the Diamond section to change the icons to something better looking than the stock icons. Is there anything available yet or is it a case of waiting for the devs to sort something out??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=580568
I used the no-start one in that thread and it worked fine on my HD2, as shown below. Despite being for the HD.

I was only talking about the top part, the rest of the look is separate. I just couldn't be bothered cutting the taskbar out.
Install the cab and the rest of your screen won't be touched.
lol, just realised after I put the post up! I installed both cabs and its all good!!
just one more question, how do I get the bars to look textured?
thanks again!!!
You need to install MaxTTM. Run it, go to the WM6.5 tab, in Component select 'Taskbar', in Change Method select 'Special Pattern' and in Special Pattern Bar Selection select 'millski_blackgloss_bar.png'. Leave Alpha as 255. Tick 'Soft Reset After Convert' and press the Convert button. It should then reset and come up with the texture you see above on the taskbar.
Any chance you could provide a link to this MaxTTM?
Cheers!

Custom Clear Lockscreen

Custom Clear Lockscreen -- Tutorial Soon
FIRST ATTEMPT
I've made my first custom lockscreen... I hope to put up a tutorial to
help others achieve the same "look." The best thing about this custom
lock screen vs. others I have seen is that it still allows for music apps,
notifications, etc to be used easily.
I also attempted to add the live wallpapers fix (w/o opengl) to this zip,
but unfortunately failed... If anyone wants to take a look and let me know
what I've done wrong that would be great!
I choose Purdue as it is my favorite college team/future university.

Nice! I applied it, also seemed to update my taskbar and rosie bar? You may want to note that.

I will rock this lockscreen for a while, thanks!

[Q] White background for option menu in CM7 ?

Does anyone know if CM7 or stock android menu can be changed to white background like MIUI (pic 1) or iphone? Doesn't have to be as pretty with mixed gray and white exactly, just a simple white background instead of black for 2nd pic.

Found a thread mentioned 2 files named menu_background.9.png and menu_background_fill_parent_width.9.png in the framework.apk. Are the popup menu & full screen menu setting related? Could someone help ? Can I just unzip the apk and replace the image, but then how put apk back to the OS? Thanks in advance.

Link is down for the moment. I saw a youtube tutorial of the site. Looks pretty handy to mod the theme, but haven't seen the option to change the menu background yet. I'll try it out when the site is back on.
Thanks Jason.
UOT Kitchen cannot mod the color of the menu screen. It can change pretty much everything else, but not menu colors.
No reason you can open up FrameworkRes.apk and change it yourself though. That's all a dev would be doing. Changing more complicated things is hard (obviously) but simple graphic-related stuff is really, really easy.

Display size

Does anybody know where i can find the Display size option? i want to make it smaller but i only found the font size.
Like this one in xiaomi devices.

If you're referring to DPI, it's located in Settings\More Settings\Developer options look for Drawing and Minimum Width within Drawing section. You enter your numbers in there. Just remember the phone screen DPI is 388. Never experimented with it but give it a try and let us know. Don't know if the screen with default to an acceptable number if you go overboard with your numbers.

Thanks. thats exactly what i wanted. My default was 360 on Nex S global and i went to 403 and everything seems to be working. The stock camera beauty icon position is abit off but everything is working. No app crashes.
Now i can see more stuff on screen with everything smaller
also im not sure if its a placebo effect but my fingerpring is working better now or maybe im getting the hang of it.
Good to know you can go higher. I'll give it try and see if I get the finger scanner placebo effect too.
