Check out this thread http://tinyurl.com/blfwv4l. It lets you change your battery icon on the fly. I don't know if it will work with our phones though it was originally made for samsung. I would try it out now but I am at work and you need to have a computer to use it. When I get home I will nandroid and try it out. If any one is at a computer and wants to try that would be cool. It would be nice if this worked. I would like a battery icon with percent in it rather on the side.

I was gonna try tonight but I've been messing with cm10 on my old touchpad. I will try as soon as I get a chance.

I'm not entirely sure if this will work for our phone. There are slight differences in how LG has decided to name their battery state and charging icons (different from AOSP anyway). I'm not sure if this program takes that into account or not, and I'm also not sure if Samsung has a different naming convention as well. It is possible that this goes in and changes the XML files to account for the different names, but it would have to go into at least four of them and change values, which I'm sure would be messy trying to accomplish for multiple OEM structures.

I was kinda thinking the same after reading more into it. It is really made for samsung. I have been trying to find some time to try it out and see what happens. Hopefully this weekend.

Not to toot my own horn, but take a look at GSam battery monitor. With the add on icon pack, it will overlay the stock battery icon. No root or mod needed.
I'll be releasing a new version very soon that will allow third party icon packs to overlay as well. I'm not much of a graphic artist, but if you are, you can create your own icon pack.
Here is a screenshot of what it looks like.

I know launcher pro, and other docks, don't have an option with 4 shortcuts on the dock like this. At least not with big icons. Sort of like an iPhone. I love everything about my Evo, but I REALLY wish there was something like this. As far as I know, this isn't a screenshot. It's just shopped.
But does anyone know of ANY way this could be done?

LP can do that with the real icons. Mine has five though.
How would you go to the app drawer?

No. Launcher Pro is a very tiny confined dock. It also has 5 icons, which makes the dock even tinier. I'm looking for a big dock, which supports 4 icons, just like the picture I posted.
Does anyone know of such a thing?
And you would just make a shortcut to the app drawer.... How else? lol
Touchwiz launcher from the galaxy s phones. Tons of roms include it (you can unzip and grab the apk out) and I've seen it around here a bit.
If you can't find it pm me and I can send it when I'm at my computer. (couple of days, I'm on holiday)

Evo-Nonsense Rom has the TouchWiz launcher built in, and it is a very nice rom.
What if you make a dock in photoshop with 4 big icons and then assign invisible shortcuts to them?

what i don't understand is you spent SOOO much time insulting someone else about how they did something and then talk about how they photoshopped the screenshot.. if you don't know how to do something and that particular person doesn't respond to you, use your brain and start figuring things out...
launcher pro allows you to create your own custom dock... just like the member before me stated.. use photoshop or gimp or whateva editting program you like, and start with a transparent background... then create WHATEVER you want on it.. when your done, save as png and then send to ur phone.. go into launcher pro preferences > appearance settings > Dock background > custom.. and then select the dock you created...
after you've done all that, use transparent icons over the ones you made on your custom dock, and there you have it... all that height limit **** you was talkin goes right out the window..
if you look at my dock, the word "Phone" and "Apps" are a lot larger then most people who use word icons.. thats because mine aren't icons.. its a dock i made and added transparent icons over the word phone and the word apps..
i hope now you understand, and you don't have to continue your BS investigation on how he got 4 icons on there and how they are the size they are...
(oh.. and please don't say anything about me being a hero user and not an evo user, cause launcher pro is still launcher pro no matter which phone u use)
try the miui port. the launcher in that rom is really comparable to an iphone. I don't have a link on me but its in the development section.

Hello Nexus 7 users!
I'm searching for some active users in xda (post+thanks), and with experience in using UCCW (about 3 people) to test my theme.
The feedback that I need is mostly a screenshot of how it looks on your screen using the default settings (in DPI and other areas)
and with/without statusbar(not the nav bar). Note that you should not post any screenshots(or any files) in this thread or anywhere outside my inbox.
Just post here if you're interested.
Thank you very much

I would like to be a tester! If I get picked I'll edit this post. Xperia Ion (1280x720) I've also got good experience with UCCW too. Did you get your widget problem fixed?

Ill send you some details about it tomorrow, the problem still remains but I was fortune to be able to select the black color text without having to use the pro version.
Otherwise the orange area (music player) would have been green, and the text would been light green, like the widget below.
I can test it if you want but I don't have much experience in UCCW
I'm a quick learner though

Well when you pop it in a dock, the dock home screen comes up. In the Accessory menu, you can turn it off, but you can't change it to a different app.
Threads about this online suggest to clear the data for the dock home screen apk, but I don't see anything like it in the ALL applications list.
To make it more complicated, I don't see a Navigation apk in that list either, so even if it came down to app choice to fill the void, I might only be able to go as far as Maps.
Just wondered if anyone knew anything about an app or something to get it to do what I want: docked and loads Navigation.

In the screenshot I posted, is that what you want? Having it prompt you is a little more work. It's possible but not as easily done as hard coding navigation to be default

Essentially, in landscape of course. Maps is also the 4th choice on my phone. That's the one I usually select.

Only thing so far is it stopped when I got a call during navigation. Dont know if itll keep happening but thats the only thing so far that hasnt worked.

I ended up going back to the old version because they brought back some annoyances in the version, they had finally removed in the previous updates.
One, I use the map for just general guidance and traffic(not really point A to B directions). This new version never seems to remember the mode I left the map in, when I go back. So when the map shows, it doesn't remember I use view from behind "follow" type view(so I am always facing "up"). I have to hit the little button on the bottom right a few times to find the correct view.
Seconds, the map and text on the map is now too small by default again. It also doesn't remember my previous zoom level. The old version had this issue till later updates made the road names larger.
Also, when going under/over an overpass, the map goes bonkers, not knowing if I'm on the cross street or the road I was on as the map starts adjusting it's view wildly, till I'm passed the overpass. This gets VERY annoying when trying to see exits/entrances to highways.
I'll wait till they work out the kinks.
At first I didn't like it either but if your mind is dev material then everything becomes VERY easy, very quick.

The update sucks. They dropped way too many useful features. Reminds me of an iPhone app now. Pretty but limited functionality. Trying to revert to old one as I type this.
Yep. While it is pretty and smooth, functionally, it leaves a lot to be desired compared to the previous version.
Look at the comments section on the Play Store. Not too many people liking it at all.

And it definitely doesnt handle multi tasking very well. Doing anything else during navigation force closes it. Not very good when ur on the freeway and u get a call and it closes and u have no idea where ur going. Lol. Had to go back to old version.

I just found this on the play store guys and I think it's pretty awesome, this is the only new feature that I loved about iOS7, it's pretty handy IMO. Thought I shared it.
I'm just sharing it, I couldn't find the post where the app was born ( I'm pretty sure was developed here on xda ), but anyways, if you find the maker, thank him, and be sure to leave 5 star to promote development.

No offence but if I wanted my phone to look like an iPhone then I'd still have my iPhone lol ... I'm sure some people will appreciate this app though, at least if/when they iron out the issues current users seem to experience with it
I actually tried this the other day and I really didn't like it. Its kind of askward since it is right by my app drawer button. So I found myself hitting that instead. Or it would do both.
I much prefer power toggles or something similar in my notification drawer. Not to mention the colors on the center are just plain ugly and don't blend well with anything.
Just my opinion!

I can't get how getting a quick settings alike will make your android look like an android, this is not a theme or whatsoever. Well I just wanted to share it, I'd never use an iPhone that's for sure but control center is way better option than both quick toggles/ quick settings on android IMO.
