ICS* Large Weather Notification? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As I recall, there were images floating of what ICS brought to the table, and one thing that stuck out was larger notifications. If I'm not mistaken, they had a beautiful weather in the dropdown in full-color. What ever happened to this? I can't even find a darn photo anymore in reference to this. Someone please tell me you know what I'm talking about before I lose it. Lol. It was as if they were trying to compete with IOS's dropdown notification weather and I'm not talking about the small notification weather from Google Now.

Ressurrecting an unanswered question
It wasn't EXACTLY like this, i could not find a single reference on the internet or an image either, so i designed this real quick to present to everyone so you could get the gist of it, i thought i saw it at the unveil of ICS conference, and an image on google.com/galaxynexus when it was being sold, but i didn't think to save it, nor did i ever find an image like it again.
You'll note I said Jellybean in the text, I meant ICS* lol
All i have left is my imagination and design skills to re-enact what i saw.

I'm surprised nobody replied but one. just a follow-up, this *MIGHT* have been what I saw in the live example of ics, it wasn't their integrated weather notification at all, what I had seen was a third-party notification, and I FOUND it. Latest version of beautiful widgets. Glad I bought it last year for 10 cents!

Search for MXHome, one word. As for the actual mod, I agree with raylusk. Though I can say from the limited amount I saw, I hated it. I'll take another look when someone takes the plunge and buys it but until then I won't lose any sleep thinking about how it might work. I despise the single clock screen with set icons.
Tried it. Aside from the 3D clock, the app list is a bit more structured. If you tap the app icon or slide up from the bottom, it brings up an app list that can be sorted by name, date or category. It looks okay, but it seems pretty limited especially when compared to a shell like LauncherPro.
Tried it. Imo they are trying too hard. Its neat but over the top bloatware.

Mobile Buzz Widget Discontinued

They have discontinued mobile buzz widget today after years of great service does anyone know a good alternative? I've had the app from my early G1 days
Lucky for you guy... I so happen to have the very first one...
http://db.tt/cH4UXNl1
The update after that does not work on ICS and Jelly.... also the old seems to be transparent sooo yeah there u go
Edit: I just installed it and I see what u mean... =\
-Google
I feel like crying :crying: it feels like I have lost a good friend after knowing him for 3 years, I checked him all day for the latest news
Do a search in the Google Play or Amazon App Store for: Filtr Tech or FiltrSoft
I can't post a link to it because I'm new, unfortunately.
I vaguely remember it as a news app, as for the widget I can't remember. However, I remember when I used 'pulse' I never used anything else. Don't know if its really what your looking for but its great for news and has a nicely laid out widget.

Facebook looking awfully weird

Hey everyone. My first post and I'm excited to have changed from CM7 to CM10! Thanks to the devs btw for making this possible. Anywho, I've searched for this already on here an Google to no avail. I've installed the Facebook app on my IC2 and for some reason, it looks like entirely different than the original. Doesn't look the same. I've provided a snapshot of it so hope it helps. And it's not just the layout that's changed but even my cover photo isn't visible. Anyone know what's going on?

Yeah unfortunately hasn't given me the option to update... yet. Hopefully it does in the near future...

I thought this was the normal look for mobile? I haven't seen any other versions.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
I think it has to do with what the Facebook servers are giving you on cm10. I think its because jelly bean devices are all higher resolution than ours. It does it on the mobile website too, but if you change the user agent to iPhone on your browser it will look normal.
Phantom, parts of it look the same. But with the current version of Facebook for Android, I guess you could say that my layout for my wall looks entirely different. If you check it out on the Play store, mines doesn't look like that. Only the top portion seems to be okay. I don't even have a cover photo! But it's more of an annoyance than anything.

Yeah, I'm actually glad people know what I mean. I'm starting to agree with that. Probably explains why when I go to the Facebook site on the browser it sends me to the Facebook full site instead of the mobile. Hope they fix it soon!

Sooooo.. one LAST update, I promise. Switched back to CM9 Psycho because CM10 right now was just too buggy for my phone. Everything with Psycho has been awesome, including camera. Anyways, that also brought me back to the original Facebook that I had when I started this post and it basically reverted but I rather have a stable phone than a distorted Facebook look. But I guess the problem just comes with CM9 altogether. Anyways, cheers! :silly:
i just use friendcaster its better all around anyways. may not be pretty but its hella functional. im sticking with that till we get a native fb app like we were promised.
I'm trying to use friend caster but the ads are killing me. I tried using lucky patcher to remove them but had no luck

"Chat heads" coming soon to Paranoid Android ROM

Anyone see this yet?
www.phandroid.com/2013/04/30/paranoid-android-chat-heads-notifications-multitasking/
That would be awesome if someone brought it to regular SMS texts, could this be brought to CyanogenMod 10.1 ?
Facebook Messenger has this and its awesome to use.

waaaaaaaaaaaaay cool hope samsung adds it in to klp
That would be sweet. And if it gets enough support it may well be integrated into CM or have a separate app like PIE did

Based on their Google+ page this won't be as simple to put into other ROMs as Pie. They said that there is a lot of new code and changes made that will make it very difficult to put into other ROMs. I guess we'll see though.
I guess I just don't see the point. It's always awesome to have new features implemented, buy why? What does this solve that the notification bar does not already do? Maybe I'm just not getting it.

I have not. I've actually never had a Facebook, as weird as that might seem nowadays. Perhaps that's why I'm not understanding this concept.

Facebook Messenger chatheads are the main inspiration behind this. They say that the way the notification shade works now interrupts the flow of using your phone too much. This is supposed to remedy that by making it more accessible.

So if you've never used the feature, why talk bad about it?
But..its good to use as you can stay in a app and still easily send messages and see what they say and a picture can also be shown of said contact which is what's in the "bubble"
Quite frankly it blows my mind none of these other big names in instant messaging apps haven't even bothered to take this and adapt to their own.
I give props to the dev team behind Facebook for thinking it up.
I used it on iOS but to my surprise after using it on Android its severely limited on iOS that you can only use the chat heads or bubbles while only be in the actual Facebook Messenger app. On Android as long as your signed in you can get these little contact bubbles anywhere, and you can move the bubble anywhere on the corners of the screen or drag and drop to the trashcan to close it.
Here's Facebook Messenger chat heads being demoed

In no way did I "talk bad" about it. I stated very clearly, several times, that I do not understand the novelty of it. I did not, previously, understand what it offers over the notification drop-down. Now I do understand.
Thanks for explaining.
Here's a video preview of Halo
It's looking good so far, I can't wait to try it out!
Looks promising, though if it would hide more than 15% of the halo bubble, say, adjustable up to 90% hidden or transparent when not in use, that would make it a must have for every custom ROM.

I'm sure there will be options to be able to customize how it's hidden.
So technically this iantvlike multi window where you can do 2 things side by side

I don't understand why other ROM Devs won't put this in their ROM ..this is basically rewriting the way Android does notifications and for the better IMO
So if the other ROM devs won't jump on this I'll be jumping ship to PA ROM also.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I'd really like to see some competition between PA and, idk CM or AOKP to get notifications done right.
PA I think is on track, but it would be interesting to see something like the bb10 hub (or an inspired new concept... Not just a Facebook feature ripoff) in CM or AOKP. Just to see what school of thought may win.
