Can anyone help me modify my search button to display the recent apps menu in ICS or even Jellybean 4.1/4.2?
I've already changed one of my data files from SEARCH to APP_SWITCH, but this brings up the old style Gingerbread task switcher. I've also tried some of the mods for other devices but the files refuse to load in Clockworkmod.
Thanks.
Rom: aokp light V5.

Has anybody ported the 'swipe to clear notifications' or the 'hold back to exit an app' mods to stock?
I found a package that had them built inn but it made the rest of my phone ugly
These are all ICS features. However CM7 would have it too but I doubt you could perform such advance modification to the Stock FW that easily. No sure though. Try Gin2CIS.
the "nxt" rom has the swipe one
Have this rom installed on a KF and when new apps get installed, it places them on the very top left of the screen where the Google Search is. I have read lots of threads on the ROM and not able to find were I can remove the Google Search Icon from the Tablet UI.
Thanks
First, sorry if this should be somewhere else, I tried to reply to a couple threads that related to this but was told that I was not allowed to do so.
Okay, I have been trying to fix this for a few days now to no avail. I have a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2. When I got the phone, I rooted it, left the stock rom (because I want full s-pen functionality; none of the custom roms I tried provided full support), and flashed a couple jb files to change the battery icon/center clock/toggles/remove brightness bar, etc.). Everything worked fine.
A few days ago I decided to upgrade the firmware to have the multi-window support. I wanted to flash the jb files again to customize the notification bar toggles, battery icon, etc. However, after doing so, I get a system ui has stopped error message and I have no notification bar whatsoever. I tried some of the other jb files with the same result. The only other customizations I can find are supported by Android 4.1.2; however, I am at 4.1.1. I have looked endlessly for a way to go up to 4.1.2 or 4.2 but the only options I see for this upgrade are supported in India/Europe/etc. I cannot find a version to upgrade and stay with a stock rom. I have tried cyanogen which works for the Android update; however, does not fully support the s-pen. So, I'm stuck.
I definitely want to be able to:
have multi-window feature
have full s- pen support
customize the notification bar. (change color, center clock, circle battery icon with percentage in center, remove brightness slider, remove line underneath each toggle button, remove samsung clear notification button - basically the features that the JB themes provided)
keep root access
Not necessary, but would also like to upgrade anything above Android 4.1.1. I also like all of the customizations that cyanogen 10.1 offers; however, the s-pen support is a must.
If someone could help me I would be incredibly appreciative. I would like to know what to flash or what files work. I have used romkitchen before to customize an older phone, but can't find anything like that to keep the features I want. I would be willing to pay/donate if these files don't currently exist and someone would like to offer to make them for me to flash.:fingers-crossed:

Kronic BlueMod V 4.3 / V5.1 for 4.2 framework
- i posted v5 on a reply... wasn't thinking it's on page 1.
- it is normal for first boot to take a long time after flashing mod, during this time the system is updating the cache partitions new drawables etc because system files changed. 1-3 minutes maybe. if it starts to take really long then flash backup zip or reflash the rom you were using to patch the files back to normal, this shouldn't really happen though unless you get currupt download or flash to incompatible rom.
for bell based v20f, also works on most other v20f but some icons may need to be swapped.
- to backup original ui, make a copy of this zip, open the copy with 7-zip, replace /system/app/systemui.apk and /system/framework/framework-res.apk with the CURRENT ones from your phone (adb pull them or something) then rename the copied zip originalUI.zip and put it on your sdcard, in case something goes wrong you can reflash it to go back to default.
- to install just flash the zip in recovery mode, do not wipe cache partitions, the android OS will update them when it sees changed files.
enjoy!!!!
p.s. i don't take responsibility for you breaking your phone.
if you aren't confident in moding these files, but you want something changed just post what it is and i'll do my best to provide you with a personal patch. if there is an icon i missed on the rom you use, let me know and i'll update. (many roms use differant icons)
- if this doesn't work with your rom you can request that i write one specifically for your rom and i may do it.
i do intend on adding other color versions of this so feel free to request colors.
this UI mod is intended to make the amazingly stable and battery friendly v20f a real option by making it pretty.
other additions i recommend are:
power toggles (has a homescreen widget that add's reboot menu with recovery option and bypasses reflashing on reboot by this i just mean a faster reboot by using a root reboot command instead of stock reboot which takes forever)
pocket skip track (allows you do add screen off track switching functionality to stock roms.)
mx camera (gives you hdr camera options without removing 1080p video capabilities like cm10.1)
apex launcher (jelly bean style launcher with lots of options)
exdialer ( a good free dialer with some really nice theme's i bought a payed one for 2 dollars or something that's black and blue)
MHL works on stock roms (micro usb -> hdmi -> tv)
the rom i recommend to run with this is
the legend Ho!No!'s v20f mod 2

happy texting !!!
the other feature of this is it should theoretically run smoother than stock files due to less compression.
i will also be posting email.apk LGMms.apk LGCalendar.apk with some better black theme's
this mod is not new but i'm just trying to make a universal one for v20f now, i already have alot of happy users.
--added in 4.3 is standard black background with blue text (on title bar) for any apps or widgets that use default framework values, so far on mine it works for quite a few.
i don't think this will work on roms that aren't deodexed
Kronics BlueMod V5
V5.1 has a few divider fixes and the tab for slider panels/quicksettings in status_bar_expanded
the lockscreen is for pattern lock check attachment if u wanna see it
the screenshot for the quicksettings panel is from before the cyan color was fixed to neon blue
screenshot 16 is V4.3 the others are 5.0, in 5.1 the bottom tab color is fixed on screenshot 26
in 5.0+ BlueMod tag is removed i decided the average person probably doesn't want it.
in 5.1 the bottom bar in expanded panel color is fixed
- i did more work to framework-res to change more of the default backgrounds and font color's for 3rd party apps and such, there are a few system apps that i think have to be modded individually because it didn't apply for them, but you should see some of your apps starting to inherit the theme.
for the pattern lock mod, i disable the showing of the lines because it's extremely hard to mod, it's done in some equation in a smali file somewhere that is differant location on most phones, until someone that has a strong grasp of smali that uses LG phones takes a look i can't mod that
reserved for secondary files

Kronics BlueMod v5
This has only been tested on the rom with 4.2 framework v20f, if someone wants to try flashing it on a non updated framework v20f and let me know if it works that is cool, if not i'll do it when i get a chance, if u do it backup your original files to a flash first.
i already fixed the highligher on the bottom tab for settings panel that is slightly the wrong color (greenish) coming in next update
i'm currently investigating the issue that is causing long reboots on every reboot instead of the first one after install. it doesn't seem to be affecting system performance but i know that is probably annoying people so i'm looking into fixing it.
edit i wiped all drives and installed the rom without the mod and it was only 15 seconds or so faster boot, i think this rom just has a long boot (the 4.2 framework one)
I am currently working on making a custom rom, and I was wondering if anyone had instructions for manually add custom navbar shortcuts, for example to launch an app, or change the volume. thanks
Other have managed to add media controls and volume buttons ...you could probably just port the files from the system ui of that mod .... A user posted it a while back. Search this section and youll find it
