I was playing around with my friend's captivate and the contact list had a pretty cool feature of swiping on the contact to call (swiping right) or sending a message (swiping left) I was wondering has anyone ported this over to other devices? Would be cool if it can be ported to work with cyanogen mod. Or if anyone else wants to try to do it, that would be cool.
That would be dope. I like how it also slides the app drawer to the side

I keep seeing people mention the app drawer in ICS. What is this?
Is it just where the apps are stored when you hit the central button at the bottom of the home screen?
yep that's right. coming from iphone I assume?

Come from Sense lol..
I've seen on some launchers, that if you swipe up from the bottom, theres a little "drawer" which contains a few favourited apps. Then you have your main application bit.
Hence why I thought the application drawer might be something different. Never had a pure Android rom before

Android 2.0 and older had an actual drawer that slid out, upward from the bottom of the screen. Name just stuck around.

Ah, that'll be what i'm thinking of!
I actually prefer the old draw-out drawer. Still hoping a custom launcher will implement it but no one appears to share my enthusiasm for it.

I believe the last phone with pure Android and an actual "app drawer" was the original Verizon Droid. Take a look at this video at 1:15 you see why many still refer to the "all apps" tray as the apps drawer.

Edit: to slow searching for a video of the droid...
Does anyone know what is the name of the process of App Drawer? I want to create widget with Minimalistic and don't know which activity to assign to it.

I was wondering if anyone can make the softkeys look like the barely visible dots that show up in their place in apps like the camera and the gallery? As long as I know which button does what, I don't need differentiation between them. Thanks for any help/info.
Yes its easy to do. Are you running stock? Can you link me to which ever rom you are on and I'll do it for you

I'm currently running AOKP's JB ROM and I'm trying to make a list of the things that are TouchWiz exclusive that I wish would be part of any original ROM. And so I turn to you good people so get a feel for what I might be missing.
Here's what I have:
The ability to slide left or right over a contact to call or send a text. Love that
I really like the messenging app. Clean and simple. Very fast and responsive.
What else am I missing?

How you swipe to capture. I can't figure out how so I download capture app but would like to do with built-in one.

Yup so now I'm Strong Steve's Odexed Blue and I'm loving it. I keep the awesome features but get all the mods and awesome goodness. Strong Steve is constantly updating this ROM, so you should all check it out. Especially if you love the color blue.

Yeah I have a feeling that will get reworked.
Double pull down sounds like cluttering to me, I hope not.
Seems ok. I would think of an alternative method to access those controls though. They are kind of hidden away to be fair. Maybe implement tabs such as in Sense or Miui.
cool i like it

Double pull-down for settings make total sense to me. One thing I don't like about the SIII and TouchWiz is with the quick settings and everything at the top there is less room for notifications (as the article points out). It also looks cluttered and it seems like there is way too much going on on the pull down menu. Plus I don't change my settings that often but when I do it's somewhat awkward to pull down the notification bar and then click the little settings icon. It would be easier to swipe down once for notifications and then swipe down a second time for settings. Or, what they could do is have two finger swipe down go directly to quick settings.
This is from a sense 1.0 rom. Obviously custom but works similar to the 4.2 2 panel set up.
Super convenient.
Interesting how much stuff the devs on xda have created that is merging into official android.

I was gonna say...yeah that's not a Sense 1.0 ROM.
It is. It was put together by tommy tomato for the evo 4G. It is called classic 1.0.
Quite possible it originated on 2.1. I was just showing people that have only used aosp stuff that is works really well with the double panel pull down.

This was a feature taken from newer releases of Sense that were brought to older releases. My first Android phone was an HTC with Sense 1.0...the toggles were never seen until Sense 2.1 got released, then devs got to porting them to older releases.
Not really a "classic" rom if it has a bunch of Sense 2.1 features...
Hey I didn't name it. I just used it.

I don't know about anybody else but I'm sold on the double notification bar. Seems like the best middle ground between notification widgets and the settings menu without obstructing the notification panel.

I got really tired of waiting for Samsung to release the JB update for my Bell Canada S3 and installed Task's AOKP ROM. I love the ROM and prefer the stock Google experience but miss some of the cool features Samsung added, mainly the ability to show the status bar in a fullscreen apps such as a game. Here is a video for those that don't know about this feature.
I have always been annoyed that i had to press the home button and exit out of my game/video to answer a text, change songs or whatever else might pop up on the notification bar and found myself using this allot when i got the S3, switch to AOKP i needed this back. Its just so simple and i'm surprised its not a native feature in Android.
But thankfully there is an app for that called Smart Statusbar which works well on my S3 and its free. I have tried this in MX Player and all my ga,mes like Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, Dead Trigger etc and it works on all.
TIP: Swipe from the bezel down and not from the top of the touch screen.
Thanks for the info. I am downloading the app now and going to try it out.
this was one of the features i missed the most coming from iOS to android.
Thank you very much!
Nice find!

Hopefully not a huge necropost, but this feature actually wasn't removed.
You have to swipe TWICE in stock TW. I used this app for a while before discovering it here:

I'd have fewer apps installed, but to each his own.
