[Q] Black vertical line in launcher??? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello everyone.
I've just noticed recently that there's a black line in my JB stock and Trebuchet launcher when I'm moving items from one screen to another.
Its a straight black line going from the bottom to top (or top to bottom). I'm sure its not caused by dead pixels cuz I only see the line when I'm moving items and the "glow" is on. The image is attached.

As you see above, there's a black line when I'm moving my camera shortcut (I took the screenshot in CM10 but the same line appeared when I used a stock rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801664 .
Has anyone experienced this before? or is this a JB bug?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: The line only appears when i move any item to the left side of the screen only.

I have it too.
I'm pretty sure I had it in Ice Cream Sandwich as well.

Phew. I thought it was a defect on my phone. lol
Now I wonder why google has failed to fixed in JB 4.1.1 (considering that the same line existed in ICS)?

Judging by the image page_hover_left_holo.9, it was done on purpose. If it still bugs ya go bother google.
good day.

I shouldn't have come to this thread..........

So its not a defect after all.

I would say it's a mistake rather than done on purpose. What could the purpose be if there is one?

Well lets just hope that google fixes it, or at least the cm10 team.

The weirdest multitouch bug example ever

So we're all aware of the multitouch bug, where the lower-right corner (in landscape) becomes unresponsive. It's clearly a software issue, but I found the strangest way to provoke it.

}
If I jump from barrel to barrel without touching the toxic ooze, multitouch continues to work just fine. If I fall in the toxic ooze, the bug appears. That is, I can't hit A or B while moving the joystick. I click the screen off and back on and it's fine, but if I fall in the ooze again, the bug reappears instantly. As long as I stay on the barrels, multitouch continues to work fine.
I tried it several times, playing with save states to make sure it wasn't just me. It holds true every single time. I even quit the emulator and re-opened it, and somehow, this weird little quirk in the game still affects the multitouch of the device.
PS: Yes, I've gotten this far through on-screen controls. I just got to Click Clock Wood
turn the screen off and back on, it will be gone.

it's interesting you can invoke it at will. What emulator/game are you using?

[Q] Unreachable area - touch screen cut off point?

I use LMT as I hide soft keys I noticed it's very difficult to activate the LMT piecontrol when in landscape mode.
This is the lowest I can go on my screen before the screen no longer registers any touch (and is most likely the reason why LMT piecontrol does not pop up when I keep trying).

Clearly shows there is a unreachable band which the phone does not register me touching.
Anyone else have this issue or have I got a defected device?
Anyone?

There is a well documented with multi-touch on original factory roms where parts of the screen would fail to detect when doing multi-touch. I believe this is fixed in 4.0.4. If you're willing, try flashing to 4.0.4 to see if the problem is fixed for you. Otherwise, I'd suggest exchanging.

This is not a multi touch issue. This is a simple single touch issue where the screen seems to 'end short'
Could some others test if they can reach the very bottom of the screen when the softkeys are hidden?

Seems to be working better now with AOKP B27. Still a bit of a hit and miss though, I think it may have something to do with the curvature of the screen or maybe my finger is deformed.

I was bored and wanted to change the stock look. My launcher was already WP7 style, so I want my softkeys as well. Then I went to Photoshop.
Then: "Hey, Win8 is almost there, why not? And btw, drawing the window is easier than drawing the flag, lmao."
Just sharing with you guys, for whoever likes it.
Note: in case you're wondering, I have 3 more files attached to this post, next to the screenshot below, which are barely visible. And they look that good when used.
The link to your top picture is dead. I was interested in running a Metro UI on my Gnex as and throw my friends off lol. I wish we could get the WP7 lock screen though. I really like it.
Why not just get a window's phone? I never did get these themes

I didn't really "get" them. The drew the softkeys myself.
I confess that I'm really in love with Metro UI. Unfortunately, WP would never give me what I need like Android could. Btw, it almost gets the job done in this way, everybody wins.

[Request] Full date on statusbar

Hello everyone.
I'm looking for a flashable mod that display the full date on the statusbar, next to the clock.
Some ROMs allow you to display the day of the week (FRI, SAT), but I'm looking for the full date or at the very least the day of the month.
Kindly take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491887
Here the author explains how to do it yourself, but frankly that's way above my abilities. Besides, it seems to work only for AOKP roms, and I'm using one that's AOSP-based.
If any of you feel you have some free time and can help me, ideally by making a flashable mod that does the above, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Best regards.
You could always use uccw and make it yourself you just need to have a launcher that hides your status bar....that what I did

I couldn't part with my status bar and sometimes I need to know what time and date it is while inside an app, that's why putting it next to my clock would be perfect.
You still will see it there when your in a app

I'll be makin' moar on my Gplus (in my sig) and probably put them in Xda > Android > General or Theme
#Warning: You shouldn't need warnings by now - but I'm not liable if someone actually finds a way to screw up their device with a bootAnimation
:victory:
Yup,can confirm black screen.
You should learn how to resize pictures with out completely screwing up the aspect ratio on them. Every one of those images is horizontally deformed.
"I'm sure I'll edit and such" reads OP
It's my fun work in progress. If you don't like it, don't use it. (Continues to update OP)

Nice concept
