Anybody is knowing of a GB ROM with ICS style softkeys/Navigation bar ? My buttons are getting dodgy and I got addicted to softkeys after using ICS/JB ROMs. Button Saviour from market is OK but not as good as a nav bar.

Thanks. I am trying to stabilize on one ROM. But so far no one ROM is meeting my 'exacting' requirements. LOL I think we are all spoiled for choice thanks to all these hardworking devs. My experiences with some ROMs-
CM 7 - Status bar toggles but no soft keys.
AOKP by K900 - Status bar toggles(Great), Soft Keys(Very Good). But the ROM reboots unpredictably.
Oxygen - Status bar toggles but no soft keys.
Nikez JB - No Status bar toggles, Soft Keys(Very Good). But I am not able to restore nandroids for some reason..
I had a problem with keys and I sent my Desire to HTC on repair (still a few months of warranty ), they simply cleaned up the connectors and all the buttons work fine now. If your warranty expired you can try to do it yourself, all you need is a few pieces of tool.
I'm sure I'll do it on my own next time, even if i still have warranty, cause now I don't have 'VOID' stickers on screws...
I have started using zmooth pro from play store. Its gesture based. There is also a lite version. Got used to it after 2 days. Feels natural now.

Hi!
I'm running the latest Sony ICS Beta and it is really really great, Thanks Devs!
I would like to have a fully transparent notification bar (not the whole drop down panel only the vertical part where data icons are displayed). It seems it's already a little (very little) transparent in this rom.
Could someone help ? I searched for solutions but I didn't find anything I could do with my actual knowledge
Thanks again!
Well since there is little chance they would do that to the Rom, I suggest using the app called statusbar+ it makes your notification Bar look like windows phone 7 (which has transparent background)
Btw isn't the notification bar horizontal? Lol

You could always try making your own
Try MIUI V4 it's ICS version.
MIUI is a whole different experience specially the GB version

Can someone try to enable ics onscreen buttons? Its a lot faster in task switching and can also reduce the wear and tear on the home button.
Thank you!

But it doesn't work on the stock roms. You need to be on a non themed rom...(cm9). the stock one is loaded with touchwiz so....>>i guess it won't work on it.
Yesterday i tried paranoidandroid,has an option enable them-disable them.btw i hate the on screen buttons,taking up so much space in my screen..

Thanks for the link. I did that before but it just won't boot pass the home screen on stock rom. I can already see the navigation bar with samsung's own customized icons but it just keeps rebooting something at the homescreen and won't go pass that unfortunately not sure what is holding it

u can actually change the height of the navigation bar. I normally set it to 24dpi so that it only takes out a space as small as the status bar and yet keeps the functionality of the status bar.

For the past week I've been working on porting Salad Bar over to the Bravo and have finally reached a milestone -- It compiles and boots... There's a few bugs present, almost all are ui related except for USB Tethering. While its can be used for everyday use, I still consider it alpha with the battery % bug and no tethering.
I don't take any credit for developing Salad Bar -- all credit goes to Rob43. I'm just porting it over to our device (and I suppose the Defy as well since we share a common framework).
Features (Taken from Salad Bar Page)
CyanogenMod 9 base
Bottom statusbar
Brightness toast panel
Gradient background fix
Settings: GPS toggle & status info
All-In-One Salad Bar (combined navigation & statusbar)
swipe up to expand
customizable power widget
same button layout as stock navigation bar
key button popup effect
Jellybean framework drawables
Few of my* other patches (*Rob43)
I also added in full support for 1-10 Multitouch Points in Defy Parts.
I had to remove the voice quality options (crisp, clear, etc) in order to compile. I'll add them back in as soon as I find the missing strings in the Salad Bar framework. Its a pita since Quarx and Epsy use modified frameworks to workaround the kernel and hardware limitations and I have to find their mods and apply accordingly.
Download Bravo Salad Bar Here
If this doesn't boot, replact /system/etc/media_profiles.xml from any other CM9 rom for the Bravo.
I'd post screen shots, but I switched back to CM9 in order to upload the rom. To get an idea of what it looks like, here is a link to the original thread.
Bugs I've noticed:
Battery % Stays at 100
No AM\PM on the Clock
Image warning in recovery (recovery still works just fine)
No USB Tethering
Bugs Listed on the Mods Page:
All-In-One Salad Bar: Navigation mode must be toggled if you switch off the salad bar for the regular nav bar to display
All-In-One Salad Bar: Reboot necessary after toggling salad bar else screen margins might be buggy upon rotation

So, my wife just shattered the screen on her Bravo, do I get a new screen, or give her mine, and get me a Defy?

The screen is much cheaper than a Defy, you'd save at least $100 by getting a new screen and that's buying a used Defy from ebay. If you really want a Defy, then get one. The only real advantage that the Defy has over the Bravo is the ability to go to BL5\6 and swap between the GB and Froyo kernels. If you have the money to spare, I'd use it as an excuse to buy a phone with an unlocked bootloader.
Thanks for sharing.
Should have an update soon. Everything works, but I'm having one issue....The Salad Bar Clock -- probably a pull\merge issue. Normal Navigation Bar works just fine.
Looks great cannot wait to try!

Yup, went with the screen option. I wish I had the money to spend on a new phone but alas I am a computer tech working at a grocery store. So I haven't a penny to spare.

Its a noobish question i know. I havent been around for quite while... I have rooted Gnex 4.1.1 stock.
I want navbar and notif bar on bottom together.. is it hard work ?

Look for rom that offers tablet mod.
For this ParanoidAndroid is probably best, flash that and tweak the settings to how you feel comfortable and away you go.

My wife's sgs2 nav bar died. So I flashed slimbean which has a softkey nav bar capability and that rom kicks ass. Problem is that its her phone and she misses touchwiz. Specifically the calendar. So is the anyone out there that can point me to a rom with touchwiz and softkey nav bar, or even better, guide me to a thread that helps me install softkey nav in the Jedi mind trick ROM? Please help guys.

Thanks man, but those are a no go. Tried the first one and its just a pain (it does work in a pinch, just not suitable for daily use). The second one doesn't install nav softkeys, it just allows you to change their properties if the phone already has nav softkeys, which slimbean already has that customization ability baked in.
oo ok scratch that an maybe try this but not promissed but staying on slim but giving her the Touch wiz 5 launcher that way she can still use the stocky look but still have the navbar maybe ???? if not i hate to say it here but you can try out JellyBam on goo.im and in there settings you can download the TW launcher for her or even paranoid since they have the most customization out there and or stable jelly milestone 6 was the stable and true just a thought to try and help
Use whatever rom you like, with the navigation bars you want. Then pay a couple bucks for pure grid calendar widget. Its pretty much the same as the touchwiz Calender widget....plus themes for it.

I would open the phone and see if the ribbon did not pop out. Replacing is expensive( not the keypad, but the screen) as you have to get the screen out and good chance for damaging. Keypad is cheap.
Thanks for the replies. I have actually taken the phone apart and the ribbon cable was in place. Not really interested in a widget either, but it is a nice widget. I did however find this:
