keep soft keys bright - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Is there a way to keep the soft keys at maximum brightness no matter what your normal screen is set to (unless off obviously)?

AOKP allows something similar to this.. You can configure the opacity of the icons which makes them "brighter"

dammit that rom does everything lol. still using hd revolution, i should try it out. just wating for a final cm, unless its out already.

I'm also waiting for CM final, but AOKP is quite nice. Just got around to installing the newest build when I saw your thread haha

new to the galaxy sII have a few questions

First off I was looking at rooms and noticed there are no Android 4.0 roms??? That are stable?
Aosp roms? Or tw 4.0?
We have both roms. And both do have bugs
Before you ask search
Like he said we do have 4.0.3. Check the development thread to see what's out there. The closest to stable is raverx black edition which is touch wiz based but you can always use apex launcher if you want an asop experience. Raver also has asop almost completed but alas the ics roms we do have out are a bit buggy but some can be daily drivers. Either way, nandroid backup and try em out till you find what's good for you cheers!

i'm running ics megamix with apex launcher and it's been pretty stable.
raver's black edition had a lot fcs for me and really wasn't good enough for dd.
and racing's was good, but i only ran the original (with the reboot/shutdown bug).
but as far as i can tell, they really are all about the same, just with different levels of debloating (which raver's has the least bloat, but i think that led to some of the instability i encountered) and some different bootanimations/theme tweaks.
the main bugs are autorotate is broken and some people have call echo, but i haven't experienced call echo on any that i've ran.
There is a stock rom ported from at & ts sgs2 ics update. That's as close as you get to official for us. There's only one bug the rotation is whack and it's full of atts bloat other then that it's good.

My last question is I know it doesn't have a notification light and I read somewhere that there is a way to make the capactive buttons (the ones on the bottom menu home etc) light up instead

the most common i've seen is called bln, stands for backlight notification (i'm pretty sure there are others, too, but i'm not familiar with them). you need a compatible kernel, though, and so i don't think any of the ics can support it yet.

There's an app called BLN Control in the Market too.

Not really a actually ics ROM for the 989 I dont think. But official one will drop soon so id just flash darksides ROM or Mr x if your Telus. I use golauncher with a ics theme and it looks alot like it.

The kernel in the ROM must support BLN for it to work. There is another app on the market that will work on any ROM. It is called NoLED. It does not use the capacitive buttons but will show a light or if configured an icon on your screen even when screen is off for any apps you choose for it to manage. it will use separate icons for phone, sms, etc... so you know what you missed instead of just the lights like with BLN.

[Q] where is pulse in eaglebloodrom build 2.04?

Thank you for your attention and patience readers. I rooted my GSM Galaxy Nexus when i got it a few weeks ago. I of course use Rom Manager and I quickly discovered my liking for and preference of the Eagleblood mod. For the past few weeks I have been using the Eaglebloodmod version 4.0.3 BUILD 2.01 and I loved it. It seemed perfect. One of the features in it's main settings menu was pulse. It allowed me to set the color and duration and frequency of the pulse notification led light on the face of the phone at the bottom below the screen. I just updated to the Eaglebloodmod version 4.0.4 BUILD 2.04. Right away it seems faster and even better with more great settings options and etc. Overall I like it even more than the now much previous build version.
NOW HERE'S MY PROBLEM. Where is pulse in the settings? Hopefully I'm stupid and you guys will show me where I'm not looking or something, but anyways. It is no longer there as far as I can see. In fact, before I even noticed that pulse was missing I noticed that I no longer had to scroll down a little bit to see the "Battery" option. Before I had to because pulse was also in the line of things and it pushed battery a little farther down making me have to scroll down a little bit. So it's not like there's something there instead it's just not there. I'm curious why would a later build be missing something an earlier build possessed? PLEASE SOMEBODY TELL ME WHERE IS THE PULSE SETTING IN THE SETTINGS. and if it simply is no longer there, well jeez Eagleblood.....jeez. I know it may sound like such an unimportant little thing but i really liked and got really used to having my pulse light go off BLUE every 1 second for 1 second.
i'm on eagleblood build 2.1 now and still the pulse colors option in the settings is gone. it used to be there in the 4.0.3 version. i don't understand why such a nice feature is gone now
You don't need two of these threads. Install the app lightflow.
okay thanks, i'll try that

Toggle Options

I'm using KyanROM, coming from CM10 which I used from day one when it came out, great ROM, but obviously early in it's development so holding out a bit. Anyways, I got pretty used to the toggles, and cringe now that I'm stock again( yes, I know I can go to AOKP or CM9, but want to run stock for a bit ), at the toggles here, especially the "moving" every time you open notifications( what a bad design decision ). So I was wondering if anyone knows of a mod to completely remove the toggles all together? I really like Notification Toggle from the Market, but it takes up too much room and is redundant with the default toggles there.
Really hoping there is a way around this, or in the very least, maybe another toggle mod out there to get rid of the "moving on open" and choose what you want displayed.
Thanks.
+1 on this and please post anything you discover back for others. I would really like to be able to add a Tethering toggle and a Flashlight toggle to notifications toggles.
Ideally a nifty app would let you configure them how you wanted.
Haven't heard or found anything unfortunately, ah well ill be back on JB soon enough when a2dp and camera bugs are worked out

[Q] Bringing in PA and AOKP features into Musta's CM11 (KitKat)

Well hello Lads and Gents,
I've been using the PACman ROM, which unfortunately hasn't been updated for a year, for a long time and I was amazed by the variety of functions available in this All-in-One ROM! But a weird bug in the ParanoidAndroid options (will talk about it later) annoyed me, so Mustaavalkosta's CM11 release got my attention.
I have to say that KitKat is pretty cool! But for some odd reason, my Google Calendar isn't syncing at all, the extended desktop feature doesn't change a thing, Trebuchet went full retard so I had to delete and replace it with a version designed for non-rooted phones, random freezes, etc. (will add more when I find more)
Nevertheless CM11 features nice data protection options and other little things that I didn't have in the PACman ROM (as it's JellyBean), while PACman ROM had nice features I don't have in CM11...
So my core question is: Is there a way to install AOKP and PA features in CM11? I really loved Pie and the notification bar customization (PA) was really cool too, even though it didn't work for me. I'd appreciate any hints on how to add new features (from other ROMs) on my phone without f*cking it up.
Also, is over the air updating possible for the nightlies?
And about that weird ParanoidAndroid notification bar customization bug: The problem was that the scaling of the settings were wrong. To be able to access the field where the color is set, I had to turn my phone to landscape mode. But when I did that the color palette which opened had its save button outside of the screen, no way to scroll. If I turned it back into portrait mode, the dialogue simply disappeared! I tried everything to fix it but I had no chance. So I've been unable to change any of the notification bar settings for ANY app.
Thanks in advance!

You could either build your own ROM with the features you want, or find replacement apps. There's not really a drag-and-drop method for adding new features.

So that means I have to learn ROM coding? Oh lord... I thought there might be an easier way to bypass just this solution.

[Q] Changed keyboard animation in BlissPop, can't find where to change it back.

Good morning everyone (at least for the West-Europeans),
So yesterday I decided to switch from CM12 to BlissPop because I heard it's much better customisation-wise. Also, it seems to be much more stable than the CM12 nightlies and has better performance/battery life. So far it seems butter smooth so I am enjoying it. I also like how I can change the colour of things such as the clock. I also changed the keyboard so that whenever I want to type, they keyboard slides up from below. Though, I don't really like this animation and I would like to change it back. The thing is: I CAN'T FIND WHERE I CHANGED THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE. I literally looked everywhere but probably not good enough. Could anyone help me out on this one?
Go to Settings> Bliss Interface> Display and Animations> IME Animations and there you will find all the settings for the keyboard.
Hope this solves your problem. If it did press the Thanks button.
