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:

i was wondering now with numerous galaxy s phones out if its possible to get a galaxy s rom? I know their are themes such as this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769840
and you can always install the touchwiz launcher, but id love the galaxy s rom for things such as the drop down bar with all the toggles, the look (the theme does a decent job covering that)
and a fully working bottom dock, that rip sometimes doesnt work perfectly.
idk if its possible or if it ever will be?
also (I havent tried it yet, looking for a epic 4g dump, but is it possible to install the galaxy s camera apk on an evo?)
The TouchWiz UI is what you're looking for but I don't think the widgets or notification bar have been ported yet.
well is the touchwiz UI the apk file?
because the key things im looking for are of course the look (like the theme) but the main functionalities im wanting are the notification bar, bottom dock bar and camera rip if it can support the 8mp cam

The touchwiz apk will give you the bottom bar.
Nothing has the notification toggles yet, but I know someone on team douche is planning to implement it.
Camera will probably be too different, and at best we might see a theme.

camera apk would be fantastic...and the lock screen too...serious improvment over evo there
Camera would be nice itll be more than just an apk I'm sure...
Touch wiz is pretty ugly imo..

+1 I have both phones and compared side by side Sense is much nicer imo
comparing both side by side touch wiz comes out a loser to sense.
However, the task bar drop down with 4 radio control buttons is something I anxiously await!
Sense and Touchwiz are a no no... Launcher Pro is where its at IMO. I immediately installed LP on my buddy's Epic and he couldn't be happier.
I'm just pissed the super amoled does 16MILLION colors and we only get 65,000. Boo. Did i mention it also requires no power for black color? damn battery life, got me again.
What i want from the Epic? I want the ability to change the brightness by dragging left/right at the top of the screen by the notifications bar. BOOM, that would be clutch!
I'm currently running SkyRaider's 3.1 Sense rom on my Incredible but im having issues with random reboots, etc. I tired Virtuous 2.7 rom and its ridiculously smooth. The only thing that really bugs me about that rom is the notification bar. I hate the stock one now that ive gotten so used to the transparency. I used the Incredible Revolution theme and the notification bar was fine but i wasnt really feeling the whole red colored theme. If someone can help me out with making a zip file for a transparent notification bar like the one in SkyRaiders rom i will definitely consider buying you a beer. =P haha

im talking aboout the pull down menu that has the notifications. ive only found one with a 50% shade.
I'm also searching for this.
I would also like an easy way to modify the transparency on the notifications pull down. I haven't found an easy way yet (other than begging a dev to do it )
There is a post somewhere with a flashable file for this
what roms are you guys running? i figured out how to do it.
skyraider 3.3.2 - have you figured out how to change the color yet?
please tell how to do transparent! the only flashable zip of it i could find only works with the stock sense launcher and still didnt work too well
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.

Hi all.
I am using Cm10 and have been for awhile but was wondering what the main differences are between CM and Task?
Can anyone clarify this for me?
Thanks a lot

I find AOKP gives you more choices to customize your device.
Would you mind elaborating on that and giving me some examples
If not I totally understand.
Have a great evening

You have more options to mod the UI:
ROM Control- you can get nav bar like in nexus
change battery icon style, color
disable or custom boot animation
change toggle style and layout
add brightness bar to statusbar
enable face down audio mode when u put phone face down it would go to silent or vibrate
and more
lots of goodies that in cm10 you have to custom install
I find cm10 to be smoother than aokp

Interesting, seems like there are quite a few extras and worth the trial. The only think i see missing from CM10 is the additional 2 shortcuts from the lock screen (not a huge deal for me anyways)..
I'm curious though, how would one use ROM control with nav bar like in nexus (since S3 already has meny and back capacative)? Just wondering how it may be used..
Thanks again

Some people are used to the nav bar, maybe if they're coming from a Galaxy Nexus or something. I don't find it useful at all, because as you said, the S3 already has a menu, back, and home button. Also, you'll lose a bit of screen space by using them. Hope this helps!
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 ?
thanks
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.
