hello. I would like to use TWRP to flash HC until someone comes out with a way to hide the status bar in ICS. How would I go about doing this without any problems. I have twrp recovery working correctly now so can I just use a decoded HC rom?
Gesture control lite will allow you to hide the system bar in ICS with root.

Thx dude it works pretty good!
Ya, it works good for me too (for gaming and vids). It does have a bug, every few times, with the wallpaper defaulting or disappearing which can me fixed by installing "simple wallpaper" It was recommended by the dev on the market page.

I installed the most recent MIUI ICS image, and installed Go Launcher EX after because I need an app drawer.
However I noticed that both in the stock launcher and Go Launcher, tons of my apps had this gross square background on them. Even already square icons like facebook have a second background behind them. I've fiddled around in all the settings I can think of and none of them turn this off.
Ideas?
I'd post an image but I have yet to obtain such permissions.
EDIT: I guess this is more of a general ICS question, since installing Launcher Pro didnt fix it either.
Trying to understand what you mean. Are you saying you want the ics icons instead of the miui icons?

Edit: I'm on miui ics by the way in case u didn't notice lol

MIUI ICS
I'm pretty experienced with flashing roms and bumped into this MiUI ICS for the EVO. I couldn't find the 4G, they haven't enabled WiMax yet for this rom?

Did you read anything about MIUI before flashing it?
The answer is no. There's never been 4G on MIUI. Probably never will be. It's Chinese, where they don't have wimax, and it's closed source, so devs can't add it in.
And to the OP, that's normal. Some themes will remove the icon background. If you want me to modify your theme or make one without icon backgrounds, just send me a pm. It'll just take a second.
MIUI ics v4 2.5.7
I've been trying to flash MIUI 2.5.7 v4, I do everything on the instructions, but still won't reboot, does anyone have any idea if there is anything else to do::
1. Downloaded the zip to root in sd
2. reboot into cm recovery
3. whipped apps data and dalvik cache
4. flashed zip file
5. try to reboot system, but these is the step where my phone stops doing anything.
I've tried to install without deleting apps an data, I've tried flashing with RA but still doesn't work....
Thanks...

Continue to use AmonRA to flash this or any other ROM [CM has been proven not to fully wipe when trying custom ROM]... You may want to wipe everything EXCEPT for your SDcard then try reflashing the ROM again... If for some reason that doesn't work then you may want to redownload the ROM again to eliminate the possibility of you trying to flash a bad download.

I'm quite certain it's not _exactly_ what he's been speaking of.
I've installed a GB MIUI on my HTC Desire and have similar problems.
It's not the MIUI theme icons vs. stock GB\ICS icons question.
It's that MIUI apparently ADDS a padding background under ALL app icons, regardless of the launcher you're using.
So even in GoLauncher I'm seeing these terrible "glass" green-tinted squares under ALL the friggin icons, even the ones which could absolutely do without it. If I knew whose idea it was not to make this optional - I'd buy an airline ticket to see him and do unspeakable things unto him.
Once MIUI ICS has it's theme ap all sorted out, you can change your icons to those of any theme that's out there. Heck, there are ICS themes now you can try and change them with.
That's one of the great things about MIUI. The fact that you can theme each individual aspect of the phone with just a few clicks.

Also, Swiper's MIUI is on the verge of having 4G

No good. I downloaded a theme and applied its icons, but still get this icon background thing. Maybe it's because it's not vanilla MIUI but a variant (FCR MIUI).
See attached screenshot for example:
1. Icon "reader" is a custom icon set by me, it displays normally.
2. Icon "Cool Reader" is default app icon, shows with a background, same for "Calc".
UPD
Too bad, I was getting to like MIUI, but
- absence of trackpad2unlock
- no patch for 2-way recording in their kernels
- godawful iphonesque icon padding which won't go away
- no consistently working hardkey backlight disabling
are reasons enough to switch back to my original rom, which was not so snappy and cool, but offers all these benefits which are substantial.
Hi everyone! A Jellybean OTA has been released for Google I/O, so in order to keep things organized all new discussions about it will be redirected here. Please keep in mind that this is a developer preview, as such it will likely have bugs and you must root in order to install it. If you don't wish to root you'll need to wait for Google or Samsung to release an OTA for your device.
If you have anything you feel should be linked here feel free to shoot me a PM with it.
Cheers!

Hello everybody,
I'm on stock Jelly Bean with official Jelly Bean bootloader + radio and want to tell you about my experience with it (There is a link in the first post to the tutorial for stock Jelly Bean).
Basic Information
I have not noticed any bugs with this ROM. The system is way smoother compared to any Ice Cream Sandwich version (Mostly the animations. The App Drawer animations is now completely fluid . Many things that have annoyed me in ICS have been fixed and new some new functions have been added.
Biggest differences between ICS and JB:
This part will be a little bit messy because I'm going to change it a little bit but I really don't have that much time so I will do it in parts
Changes in Settings:
- Data Usage Graph is now linear, like in CM9
- Wi-Fi Direct has now an option menu
- WPS-Pin and Push Button Configuration is now supported
- The account-settings are now a seperated category in the settings
- Developer options have been rearranged and new ones have been added
- Some benchmarks are better:
- Some benchmarks are worse:
- Now there's an arrow downwards instead of the back button when the keyboard is opened:
- There is an other lockscreen animation and you can access google now from lockscreen:
- new animations:
- access google now instantly by swiping up from the home button:
- Process of adding a new word to the dictionary have been optimized:
- New Wallpapers:
- New Search-Bar:
- New Radio and Bootloader:
- New Boot-Animation:
- Homescreen objects rearrange when you add an widget automatically:
- New Google Music App:
- New Youtube App:
- New Google Maps app:
- New Voice Search app:
- Contacts with a higher resolution:
- Expandable Notifications:
- Completely redesigned nofication bar:
- New animations in gallery app
- Optimized Camera app:
- New programm-chosing-menu:
- If you want a tutorial or more information about jelly bean just write your questions here. I will update this post afterwards.
Questions:
Is google now english only? :
- No. I just asked a few questions in german. It gave me search results but I it just list sites with the answers. No knowledge graph in german. But it shows me my weather and my route to work with tiles
What happens if you enable/disable WiFi Direct for 5-10 times in a row? In ICS, after a couple of times toggling WiFi Direct the wifi driver crashed and I needed a reboot in order to make WiFi and WiFi Direct work again:
- Sorry I don't have another Wifi-Direct device to test this feature at this time.

Jellybean OTA released!
root
how i did it
ok you need to have clockworkmod recovery installed...
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(insecure boot.img)
unzip boot.img.zip, boot to bootloader and
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
or flash JRN84D-insecure-boot.zip from recovery
-put the CWM-SuperSU-v0.92-mod.zip on your sd and flash
done. :good:
if you have problems...
flash Koush's Jellybean repack (IMM76I OR IMM30D) http://d-h.st/Gkh
If recovery isn't sticking for you, delete recovery-from-boot.p in /system

Jellybean OTA released!

Some small changes that were not announced:
THE BAD: Navigation is still Gingerbread looking. Background gradients are still pixelated. Most importantly, NO PINCH TO ZOOM IN GMAIL! WTF Google?
The multitasking drawer loads faster when you press the button, but it makes you wait on the dimmed screen while it load the app screenshots. It gives the illusion of being faster.
Different animation based on how you switch to an app (ICS had only one)
Hotword Detection: launch voice search when you say "Google" (when you are running google now)
Jelly bean easter egg
New Developer options:
SD card privacy protection (won't come into effect before the next major release)
Animator duration scale (the window and transition animation options are still there)
Disable HW overlay (not sure what this one is)
etc
In contacts, there is a "Auto-sync app data" option that I think wasn't there before.
Messaging app widget!
New Contacts icon
New share action and intent picker pop out (big icons instead of a list)
Default font seems to be a little thinner than ICS Roboto in some places
NOTIFICATIONS CAN BE DISABLED. This one is a godsend. You can long press on notifications to get the info of the sender app (useful for detecting spam apps)
When keyboard is active, the back button turns into a downward arrow (just like tablet ICS).
WPS PIN setup for Wifi
Wifi-direct has more options (like CM9)
"Add-on dictionaries" : it's empty now until 3rd party keyboards leverage the new API. (I think you would be able to get dictionaries from play store in the future)
Kernel is based off 3.0.31 (ICS was 3.0.8)
Google play music has been updated (Nexus Q settings link, better interface, etc)
Keyboard shortcuts (example: brb expands to "be right back"). Catching up to Apple much Google?
NO ROOT RESTRICTION ON GOOGLE PLAY MOVIES!. I wonder how they pulled this off without compromising DRM.
SAFE BOOT: long press on "Power off" (in the menu that shows up when you long press power button) to get into this mode. Only system apps will be loaded (should come in handy when dealing with rogue apps)
Screen seems to be better calibrated. The colours are more neutral and less yellow.
Came from CM9.
Wiped data and dalvik.
Installed ROM. Everything is perfect. JB is incredible
Wifi doesn't work

so i backed up my apps with galaxy nexus toolkit before the downgrade and flashing method and after flashing i cant seem to get it to restore the apps through the toolkit. is there a restore option from the phone itself while its connected? in the toolkit it just hangs and doesnt prompt on screen. i had to setup the wifi with a static ip but it kept saying avoiding due to bad signal so i uncheckmarked that setting and now im getting TERRIBLE wifi coverage where i used to get moderate. anyone have any ideas on either of those problems? im also standing right next to the router.. currently restoring nandroid and starting the whole process over but instead with just koush
I cant acces to my recovery, i flashed the koush version and since then i cant access my recovery. I use the toolkit and my phone is not recognized by it in fastboot mode, but in adb yes. I dont have root, i have booting rom but no way of coming back

happened to me too. You shouldn't flash such an unstable build if you're not comfortable with terminal and fastboot/adb commands.

Wifi is not working for me as well, i tried clearing dalvik cache and wiping the device (as per some guy's advice in a different thread) but it still didn't solve it for me.
Anyone managed to fix this ?

i ended up flashing koush on top of my original ics 4.0.4 without wipe and it works great! works as if it was a legit OTA. also noticed wifi didnt require static ip change and a slight improvement for the wifi. im loving the new google search! better than siri still playing with it and thanks to all that put their time into this! nexus FTW

The keyboard expansion where "brb" expands to "be right back" doesn't work.
Also, the voice search I think has gotten worse... the cards don't seem to work properly (aside from weather) and saying things like "Listen to Hello by Lionel Richie" and "Map of nearest gas stations" just returns google web search results.

I won't spoil what happens when you hold the bean!! (ermm yeah)
I tried the Paranoid Android JB build and LOVE IT!!!
but I have having a problem that I can't figure out why it is happening.
The issue is the notification drawer (being able to pull down on the screen and see notifications) is not showing up except on the "lock screen". it is strange that I can see the notification drawer (I hope that is the right name) on the lock screen but as soon as I unlock with a swipe the status bar and notification drawer disappears. Is there a setting that is causing this to disappear that I can get it back. This did happen before and I was able to get it back after trying everything I could think of. I don't know what the final thing I tried. I was just so happy to get it back. but it is gone again and nothing I tried is working.
Any ideas??? I checked with the ROM developer thread and no one is having this issue that I can find and I have not posted enough to post in the thread...
That happened to me too. I did a full wipe... data/system, cache/dalvik then flash ROM(some ROMs have gapps already installed)/ fix system/ reboot.... That's what I've done & it worked... if u need to? Just go back into recovery & flash gapps in on top of ROM(maybe wipe data/dalvik b4 flashing gapps, just in case). Hope I helped

I know Paranoid Android has an option for expanded desktop. If you enter that option, it'll get rid of the status bar and notification drawer. Make sure expanded desktop is disabled.
hey guys -
Is anyone aware of a zip floating around that I can use to change the look of my navbar buttons? I am not rooted and don't want to be so xposed is out (using work application that detects root), I did this on kitkat and LP before, but never on marshmallow.
I have unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed.
Thanks!
Bbuuuummmpppp....
bibbity bibbity bummmmpp
Root is needed and this is a Paid method, I did not create nor am I in anyway associated with the creator. I am simply making this so people like me can find it. Let's begin
You must be rooted and have Magick installed for this to work
You must have the button version of the navigation bar for this to work.
I would also recommend getting something such as FNG (Fluid Navigation Gestures) setup and ready.
To start head over to : https://www.patreon.com/zacharywander/posts you will have to subscribe but it doesn't charge you until the beginning of the coming month.
You are looking for an app called One UI Tuner. I currently have one ui tuner 23, your version may change over time.
The app will download as a .zip Do not extract it, all you need to do is rename it. Remove the .zip and your good to go.
From there install it and run it, grant it root permission and allow it to install the Magisk module.
Reboot
Once rebooted, open the app again and go to misc, enable the "Adjust Navigation bar height", and set it to zero, then click the green check mark.
Reboot
Once back in it should be working, your nav bar should now be gone. However you will need to reboot one more time, you will get a notification telling you when to reboot.
Enjoy!
the problem with 3rd party launchers is they refresh the screen.
we already have gestures in 3rd party we just need android 12
