Evo icon when plugging into computer - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

anyone know where i can find a icon or make one so when i plug in my evo into my computer it will show the phone instead of stock mass storage icon

what icon are you talking about? a desktop icon? a taskbar icon?

What rom are you running? I know how to do what I think you're asking with MIUI, but I might be misunderstanding. You're talking about the icon in the status bar? Why would you want to change it to a phone?

I mean, you will have to make an Evo icon if you want one. But once you do, just make a shortcut to the drive on the Desktop, right click, properites, change icon. Just like you would do with any other program you want to change the icon for.

You can use this link to do it the "autorun" way.

[Q] How do I disable/remove the toggle widgets in the 3.5 SkyRaider rom?

I installed SkyRaider 3.5, everything is great. But I'd like to not have the toggle widgets on the notification pull-down.
Is there an easy way to do this? I tried making /system/skyraider/widget.user/custom.txt blank, but that didn't work.
It is in the SERVICES JAR. PM the developer. He can point you in the right direction.

Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764787&highlight=Sexy+Rosie
Then go down to where it says "Power Widget Toggles *NEW*"
It tells you there.
That doesn't tell us how to remove it altogether.
nevermind when I rebooted they came back weird
Just removing the text will not remove the notification widgets. The text file allows you to modify what is in the power bar. Learning it blank gives you a default.

Yea, i noticed this. Hopefully ihtfp69 will chime in here.
The answer will be found in the service.jar file. You may be able to remove the file that represents the Power Bar. I am not sure if you need to remove all the files or if you could just remove the one representing the power bar. The other option would be to pull the services.jar out of the prior version of SR and swap them out...
Have you PM'd ihtfp69 to see if he can produce a NO POWER MOD zip? The other person that may be able to help out is Bezerker.

I have, got repsonse today. He says it will be in 4.0.
He suggests putting a single | character in the custom.txt file, it might disable it.

[Q] can the search bar be removed ?

Nearly every picture of this phone I've seen it has a rather large search bar at the top of the home screen. Can it be removed? If not - could it be removed with root ?

P3Droid has done it...
by far my biggest gripe with ics
Hum. But he didn't say how Hopefully google rethinks this feature of the software. I mean I don't mind it being optional and default but ...

If you remove that ... you need another hack to enable "search".
Because there is no search "key" (virtual key).

They could bind it to long-press task switcher key for example. My x10 did also come without search button but it was bound to long-press menu key. Should be possible with software keys as well, right?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I wouldn't mind so much if they let me resize the damn thing. I know it's important but I really want it a quarter of it's current size.
I think P3Droid did it by modifying Launcher.apk and pushing it back to the device.

thye could let us at least be able to move it.. say to one of the other 5 screens, so its not on the main one
I believe its constant across all 5 homescreens, but I understand what you mean. I assume you mean have only one, and make it available to move around right?
If you are willing to root, then you can do many UI customizations as per P3Droid's mods or Paul_Brian's ROMs. You need root because most involve editing the launcher or framework-res.apk and other system components.
Yea. For me anyways I would rarely use search; so stuffing it in a place where it doesn't take prime space would be nice....; alternatively it could just be an ap that you can put on a screen as desired; or a menu option to enable / disable. Lots of solutions that doesnt' require it to be on every screen at the top...

Considering that you can't use the space that is left when you get rid of the search bar, I personally don't see what all the fuss is about.
You cannot place homescreen shortcuts or any other widget there, since as soon as you pick up an icon or widget to place on the home screen, that area is reserved for the Remove/App Info/Uninstall prompt.
So the only result of getting rid of the search bar would be a blank space that can serve no function at all. If I had to choose between a blank space that cannot be utilised, over a search bar...I'd choose search bar.
Or just download a different launcher. My HC tablet has the Google Search widget at the top-left corner that is static. A quick ADW EX download and bada-bing, bada-boom.
I'm running ICS CM7 theme on my G2x and I kinda like the search bar's location. Eventually I'd like to replace it with a clock or weather widget, but I don't stick with the stock launcher very long.
Ack I though the space could be used (I do not yet have the phone). That is also sad

When you disable google search it doesn't remove the permanent widget?

Your absolutely right but the trouble is it just looks ****e so I'd rather it wasn't there.
I'm sure someone will work out how to reclaim the space.

I find its design rather pointless, as soon as you click in the search box you're taken to another slightly smaller search box which has none of the transparency of the first...

How about a complet transparent search bar? You couldn't see it but it's there and if you know it you can use it.
The search bar should remain a widget, as it used to be. That would give users the most options, which is what Android is about.

Are you talking about the status bar icons like wifi, 3g, and time or the notification that pop up from different apps that your using??

Its the notification/status when you pull down and you have the wifi, gps, bluetooth, screenrotation that you can toggle on/off.
If your referring to the icons in the drop down menu yes you can reorder them and choose which ones you want to show by simply going to quick settings if you are rooted.

Yes I'm rooted but I can't find this quick setting. Also how would I added say some icon that isn't there ie car/driving mode.
No one can help with this?
It has to be built into the rom for you to be able to customize it through a UI...otherwise you would have to go into the code itself and add it manually

I'm not running any rom, my phone is stock but just rooted. I also don't mind going into the code and doing it there if someone would point me in the right direction.
