[REQ] Notification screen bottom

Hi!
I'm quite new to theming with the SGS and I'm a complete noob when it comes to Photoshop, my friends tend to laugh at me in class when we're doing sth in PS. I actually have a request, I don't think it's hard to accomplish, because of all the amazing things I've seen in this section.
Okey, here it goes, the default notification screen (that grey thing you pull down ), I'd like the bottom of it to have actual angles, instead of being round and to go to the actual bottom of the screen, so nothing but the notification screen (and the bar up top obviously) is visible.
I hope I made any sense and I'd very much appreciate if some1 would even consider trying to create this for me and/or others ofcourse.
Thanks!
EDIT: Forgot to mention this, I'm running on XXJPO for the i9000, current ROM is Doc's v7.5 if that matters aswell.

If you get rid of the bar at the bottom when it is fully open, how would you close the drawer?

.....possibly run your finger down the back of the phone?

He means the graphic at the bottom of the notification drawer when fully open which you can skin to be what ever you want... Just cause the image has changed doesn't make it's job change as well. There were a few (personal) themes I made that I removed it and gave the small illusion of extra space
Besides which the back button works just as well

8th January - Notification Concept Improvements Part 1
My first concept interface is done and ready for viewing - as well as feedback and comments.
This concept goes over some of my notification concepts which I feel would make Android a little more functional and fluid. Let me know what you think.
This user interface concept improvement video covers 3 simply tweaks, which I feel improve the functionality of Android.
1) Bigger Notifications
These bigger notifications show the contact picture,and are large enough so the message can be read. They appear over the top of the default notification bar to save space.
Clicking on the notification takes you to the application for which the notification is for. In this case, its the Messaging App
2) Quick Reply
Something I feel that has been missing from Android for some time. When the message arrive, clicking on the message itself will open quick reply.
Quick Reply extends the notification area so you can reply to the message right from the notification area, without leaving the application you are currently in.
3) Swipe to Close/Mark
Notifications have already easy to close in Android by either pressing the 'X' or in Android 4.0, by swiping the notification away.
However, there is no way to mark a message or email as read if you close it from the notification area. This concept means that you can do this. Simply wipe the notification to the left to close it, or swipe it to the right to mark it as read and close it.
There were 2 other videos that didn't make it into the final video - the only reason for this is that they are longer and the size of the video came to about 600mb for a HD one. Hence why they were left out of this video.
You can find more information about these at this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21179299&postcount=62

All feedback and comments are welcome. Feel free to message me on any of the sites above.
These are just concepts, unfortunately I dont have the coding skills required to make this a reality. However if I can get ideas and make concepts up, a dev from the forums, the cyanogen mode team or perhaps Google themselves if we're lucky will see this and help make them become a reality.
If you would like to incorporate these ideas into a ROM, application etc, then please contact me first

Honestly there isn't much I'd change right now. I haven't noticed much that I would change.
In terms of performance, they NEED to fix the autorotate function. Yes, it's nice now that it shows an animation, but it takes waaaay too long to rotate. This was the same gripe I had with Honeycomb tablets. I'm positive that it's intentional by Google, because other phone running ICS with skins rotate faster (I have a Sensation to compare).
This second one is gonna get a bit long.
Second, they need to change the response time of the recent apps button. After extended use and several apps running, there will be a slight delay between pressing the button and the list opening up. I'm actually fine with the fact that there's a delay, it's just where the delay is. The way it runs is you touch the button, there's a delay(lag, whatever you want to call it), then the phone vibrates, the button lights up, and the list comes up. What google needs to do is change the way it functions. Make sure the haptic feedback functions and the button lights up the instant your finger touches it. Then it can delay and the list can come up. In other words G needs to make the illumination and haptic feedback first priority. Then it could work on the multitasking process.
I think if it was done in this manner, the lag would be much less noticeable. It's the same as showing some sort of screen or animation when starting an app. If you touch an app and nothing happens (the screen doesn't change at all, not even a press animation) until the apps fully loaded and running it'll be seen as lag. If you touch an app and immediately see a loading screen or an animation (just examples) then you know the app started up already, and it's perceived as loading instead of lag.
Phew. That was a mouthful. It needed to be said. Come on now Google. All of both of these are just a little tweak in software. Entirely doable. Or maybe it's already done. I don't know for sure since I'm still running 4.0.1
Other than that ICS is great.
EDIT: oh and Google should change the notification to mirror that of tablets. I don't see why they removed the quick settings; it seems unlike them. Just the basics like in Honeycomb: wifi toggle, brightness, bluetooth and autorotate. I've seen mods include it, so I'm sure they could come up with an elegant solution

They need to add the ability to get rid of the Google Search bar on all homescreens or make it less intrusive on the homescreen.

All,
Just doing a bit of research.
Even though we all love Android, its still got its gripes. One of those for me is that the interface isn't as fluid or as function as it could be.
As many of you have seen ICS now, what type of enhancements to the interface would you like to see?
To give you an idea of what i'm after: I personally still dont like the notifications. I feel that they are a bit limited as to whats on offer, so I would like to see more function added to them

Fixing notifications is easy. Just drag and drop custom sounds into notifications, alarm and ringtones folder. Using same nokia notification for text ever since my first smartphone. I have the usual buzzer alarm since ics didnt include it. I would also like option of no search bar or at least pinning it to desired homescreen. It would be nice if google included more in house options for themes, colors and backgrounds. Sms, gmail, calendar and email are ridiculously white. I'd like more black background white text options. We also need a toggle for the gpu clocks or coolbho3000 to hook us up in setcpu. Options for amount of home screens. 32GB and/or micro sd. Better clock options. Damn pogo pins car dock already.

Stole the words out of my mouth. It sounds like nit-pickey stuff but it really would bring it all together nicely.

Your second point is fixed in 4.0.3
I agree with the OP I hope google does something new with the notifications.
Even just adding them to the lockscreen like iOS would be awesome
I also dislike how the notifications have a character limit, it would be cool if you had the dropdown open long enough the text would scroll

- I'd love to have swiping away a text or email mark it as read. And while we're on notifications I don't get why contact pics don't display in the drop-down bar for texts, only for emails.
- Swiping away a recent app actually kills it
- Option to easily switch between the phone & people apps
- Option to mute shutter sound right in camera menu
- Notification bar toggles like in CyanogenMod or AOKP

Swiping away apps actually does kill them, you can see the process dying in the logs when removing from recent app list

I would like a new SMS app theme. The current one is pretty ugly. Something like Windows Phone 7's messaging theme would be much nicer.

The reason I ask is im just doing a concept design for ICS. Not a custom launcher but actual improvements to stock.
For notifications i actually meant the looks and functionality of it. The first concept ive done is to change how the text notifications work.
I don't like the character limit or how restrictive it is, so I've changed it.
Hopefully when I've got my concepts together, someone will be able to help make them a reality, be it a dev, the cyanogen team or google themselves lol.

I would really like a change to the lockscreen while listening to music. I want the bottom half of the screen to be transparent, or to show the wallpaper instead of beeing black. I have been searching through SystemUI, framework-res and android.policy.jar to try and find it, but haven't as of yet.

Soft button area supporting gestures
I came to Android from webOS after HP shot themselves in the foot several times and one of the things I miss most is the gesture bar you had at the bottom of the screen. With the advent of the soft button area in ICS I see a real option to enable the area to work in a similar fashion.
For those that are unfamiliar with it it's basically an area at the bottom of the screen blocked off from apps that registers simple finger gestures. This made the basics of actually using a device a breeze and pleasure i.e. no looking for a particular button / tapping the wrong button when you weren't looking and the gestures were consistent no matter what app was running.
The gestures were:
A single swipe up would show you your running apps.
Swiping 2 fingers up would show you the launcher (app drawer).
A leftward swipe would go back.
A full swipe across the entire area going either right or left would take you to the next or previous running app.
Besides the wireless charging the gesture area was one of the webOS killer features you very quickly learned to take for-granted. So yeah, I'd like the soft button area to handle gestures in case you haven't guessed already

How stupid. Definitely a tweak that should be there

Honestly, the only two things I want to be changed in terms of the UI are
1.) The ability to hide the soft keys at will for example, if I'm playing a game I want to be able to utilize the entire screen. I think a gesture to hide + bring back the soft keys is the solution. Highly unlikely to be implemented anytime soon
2.) Such as many launchers which have the functionality to have scrollable docks, I would like the soft keys to be scrollable. It would be pretty awesome to be able to have different toggles such as wifi, Bluetooth and even apps always available since unlike the notification bar, the soft keys never disappear regardless of the current app.

Status Bar Removal beta + FullScreen beta [JellyBean]

Seeing as how some were concerned with burn-in/didn't want the status bar I'm releasing a first step towards it.
The status bar has been removed, however apps don't seem to reclaim it. I'll be working on this tonight/tomorrow and post any updates on it.
This is for Bigxie's v1 version of JB.
Update:
Adding a fullscreen version that permanently remains fullscreen after 2-3 force closes (There's only a few but they stop after a minute or two and I've yet to have any issues with anything else though I haven't extensively tested it).
XDA is having issues with photos for me, screenshot is here: http://postimage.org/image/yx6en8kif/
FullScreen Mode: http://multiupload.biz/0y10uw1bgdgh/FullScreen Mode_MultiUpload.biz.zip.html
And for those with issues:
Standard JellyBean:
http://multiupload.biz/5puvw2cp7yp1/JB-Original-Navbar_MultiUpload.biz.zip.html

one questions: are only the icons removed or the hole status bar includig the black background?
the status bar doesn't burn in. the rest of the screen just loses brightness, whereas the status bar is black and doen't emit light. the oleds in this section and in the softbutton-section don't lose brightness because they aren't used that much. that's crappy, cause it is pretty good visible after just a couple of months of usage.

The whole status bar is gone, you can't even slide it down or anything. Also could you elaborate on the losing brightness part please?
Also if anyone else has ideas I'm willing to try them. Causing the SystemUI to crash it enters the correct full screen for a min or two, but that isn't permanent nor ideal.

especially the blue subpixels lose brightness the older they get. entering fullscreen mode, let's say watching a movie, shows, that the status bar and onscreen buttons area are more blue than the rest of the screen. this is because these areas weren't used that much.
samoled is very crappy when it comes to longevity. especially for power users it's really bullsh... i had it on every samsung samoled so far. only omnia 7 with windows phone doesn't show these "burned icons" because it's mostly running in full screen, except you touch the status bar, then the icons pop in.

Lol sorry to say but after reading this thread ... I'm just as confused as the box boy in your phones background... =\ not going to try this one...

I've seen a couple of requests like that one. Notifierpro apparently lets you (I've never tried it) and my curiosity as to how to actually remove the status bar lead me to this. (I'm not so worried about the burn in, and will leave my status bar there, I just know a couple of people seemed to want it gone to remove burn in)

Hi matt
I have error 404 when trying to download the full screen zip
Is it possible to have the reversal zip ? or a toggle function ?
I need a mediafire or dropbox link for Fullscreen please

Probably isn't compatible with Jelly Belly V2.
I've only tested it on bigxie's v1

strange as it it is system.apk or system UI if I'm right , so must be the same on JB ROMs

Minor things about 4.3

While the majority of this update brings smoothness and (possibly) better battery life for all, there are a few things that can make life more difficult for the power user. Here I'll list what I found, and I'll try to add people's replies as they come in.
Superuser is kinda broken
None of the 4.3 superuser hacks have been 100% successful, many parts don't work. For example, restoring apps with TB or RTP result in only the apps being restored, but data is left behind. Tested with Chainfire's SuperSU for the S4 (which also works on any AOSP 4.3 ROM)
Secure Settings Helper can't toggle airplane mode anymore
This one is particularly bad for Tasker users, as many of their profiles that depend on Secure Settings toggling airplane mode for them will now have to do it by hand until someone finds a new way.
USB OTG slightly broken
Mounting with StickMount on my Galaxy Nexus is fine, but after unmounting, sdcard disappears and shows content from root directory. Sure, everything is safe and sound in /data/media, the mount points just get a little messed up. Perhaps this is due with the root issue?
Slight stutters
Slight stutters have been noticed in the following areas: when pressing the recent apps button, switching from notification to quick settings, and CRT off. I don't get these often except for the recent apps, which seems to be persistent. All the others, at least for me, come and go.
Feel free to post whatever thing you notice in 4.3 that seems off!

CRT animation
The CRT animation when you turn off the screen of the device is still laggy like in 4.2
Quick-settings panel
The animation that make appears the quick-settings panel is not always "60fps smooth" like in 4.1/4.2.
Nav-bar buttons animation
The "glow" animation of the virtual button is not smooth (mostly on the multitasking button, when you are in the home screen)
"App"
"Applications" is now replaced from "App" everywhere in the phone (Settings, multitasking screen if empty). Just REALLY ugly.
Fow now, this. If i discover more, I'll update the post

I'm just saying what was perfect in 4.2/4.2 and is made worse in 4.3 (or in 4.2 from 4.1).

CRT animation
The CRT animation when you turn off the screen of the device is still laggy like in 4.2
Quick-settings panel
The animation that make appears the quick-settings panel is not always "60fps smooth" like in 4.1/4.2.
Nav-bar buttons animation
The "glow" animation of the virtual button is not smooth (mostly on the multitasking button, when you are in the home screen)
"App"
"Applications" is now replaced from "App" everywhere in the phone (Settings, multitasking screen if empty). Just REALLY ugly.
Fow now, this. If i discover more, I'll update the post

Could it be that you have problems with that? Same like the guy before has a laggy dialer, and you don't ... In my case, the CRT animation is a lot better, smoother than it was before ... Nav-bar button glow is working smoother than ever here ...

my gnex after 4.3 is running like butter on silk. it's that smooth. 4.2.2 was more laggy than 4.3

Have you tried the Lagfix app from the playstore? Maybe you emmc needs some trimming.
Fixed the recents button lag for me. You need root though.

i doubt it has to be with that...
About quick settings frame drop I think it happens only when there is any notification. If I swipe all then the transition is smoother

Same for me here!
I have experienced a better battery usage. But i have made a clean isntall, so I dont know if the better battery usage is due to the 4.3 itself or the clean install.
For this first day, no issues.

Here I have the lag every time i make appear or disappear the quick-settings panel, except the first time from when I pull down the notification bar.
Independently of having or not having notifications.

its really hard to notice for me if there is any difference between the first time and the rest...seems like the same, only difference is when there's a notification.
Another minor lag: Google Now
If I press and hold home button, the Google 'circle' shows up normally, but if I do it swiping the finger from the bottom instead of pressing and holding home, the Google 'circle' animation showing up is laggy.

Mostly importat to see if they fixed the problem with eMMC speed.

Circle within circle on home key

This just showed up today, or at least I just noticed. Two concentric circles for the capacitive home key. There's a 'Google' primary color starburst when you touch it.. I haven't found that the Google app was updated showing the reason and haven't noticed any different functionality associated with it... Strange..

It's due to Google's Android Auto app.
Have you installed it?

Aaaaand, now it's gone.. anyone?..

Yeah it's pretty weird. Haven't updated myself so can't test but I hear it stays that way if you just open Android Auto then exit. Who'd have thought that Auto, of all apps, would suddenly give us Pixel-like navbar animations lol.

happens to me every time i use android auto, it disappear when reboot

Yup, just opened and closed Android Auto and it's back. Hmmm.. for awhile, at least... Glitch...
Another thing about Android Auto, I don't understand the do-not-disturb activation that it causes when it's in use. I'd use it if that wasn't an issue
