thinking about upgrading from the galaxy S3.
I turn my hardware buttons off and use a navigation bar.
the buttons on the HTCone look like they could be OK and function the same as a navigation bar. Is this true?
are the buttons customizable via custom roms? both AOSP and sense based?
anybody in a similar situation, or coming from a nexus have an opinion on this?

The navigation buttons on the HTC One work just fine for me, and yes you can map the buttons in either AOSP or Sense based custom ROM's as well as Nova Launcher, etc. I had a Galaxy Nexus back in the early days, and I personally like the way the HTC One is setup quite a bit. I think you would be very happy if you make the switch, the HTC One is a beast in it's own right. Have a great weekend.

The Galaxy S has a nice feature in the pull-down notification where you can enable/disable things like Wi-Fi/ Bluetooth etc. Does such a hack exist for Desire? I'm using Lee's ROM 2.0a
Thanks

There's a widget for that. That's almost as fast. And you can toggle all those things

Yep- seen the widget. But I am using Slide Screen as my home page so cant use widgets and multiple screens.
Hi
Is there any way ( app or something ) how to get power widget to notoficatins area instead of last used programs? i dont like using power widget on a home screen
Is this what your looking for?
[APP] Notification Toggle
nope this app is crap...i already tried it on lot of different phones and its no good. I used some custom rom for my G1 and it has another widget ( editable ) in the notifications area....but it looked like as a version of the original home screen widget
Frankly, if you've all ready rooted your phone. Why don't you upgrade to a Gingerbread ROM which gives you the power widget in the notification area for you?

This isn't a built-in Gingerbread feature. It's one of CM7's many great modifications.
no hes right...Gingerbread has a power widget, ehm a sort of, mixed up with the notifications area on 2 tabs, but its not customizable. i thought about switching to cm's but i really like the sense and all that HTC "crap"

Yeah that's what I meant. I guess I could have worded that a little clearer. How about a MIUI ROM instead? It's a bit like Sense in a way.
yeah, but its not a sense rom. Maybe im too demanding....
hi there, nobody posted any lock app thread yet so here it goes.
I tried Go unlock but i think it hogs the resources over time and become laggy.
anyone else can recommend a sturdy one to install?
or any good rooting mod for this to make it 100% smooth?

Try the MIUI lock screen. They made it free and available through Play Store. You have tons of styles, themes, and all you ever wanted from a lock screen..
thanks, tried MIUI just now.
It has the 3dot menu on the lock screen after setting lock screen.
so i suppose the 3dot menu mod will get rid of this.
still feel bit un-smooth with MIUI tho.
some reason the sense one is the best so far
Try this.

Does someone know a metro-style lockscreen that runs stable and hasn't got the 3dots menu enabled? I just tried a few but there was none that really worked. Unfortanetly, for I love the tiles' look alot.
Another question: is it possible to change the icons of apps on WidgetLocker? And is the 3dots menu disabled?

I run widget locker myself, lets you have all sorts of different unlockers as well as run widgets and separate wall paper, umoung other features, all on the lock screen.

Hello,
I use widgetlocker on my One X. Yes, you can change the icons af the apps. Also there is no "3dots menu".
When you install adwnotifier you also get notification-count numbers on the lockscreen like in the normal sense lockscreen (for telephone, SMS, Mail[GMail and K9]).
I like it very much and use it in combination with apex launcher on stock rom without root.
Only the sense3 lockscreen from widgetlocker is a little laggy at my phone.
Thank you. I've installed WidgetLocker now and I like it. One problem though: I've got some icons in .png format that work great with Apex Launcher. But if I try to add them in WidgetLocker, they'll get a black background instead of a transparent one. So, how can I use these icons?

I had the Galaxy S2 before my Galaxy Nexus, and one little silly thing I liked on the S2, and now seeing the S3 has improved it even better, is the cool looking notification screen toggle widgets.
I am running CM9 now, and it has the toggle widgets, but they look lame, the S series just has a better looking design, etc...I thought the Galaxy Nexus would have copied the S2's toggles and be a stock ICS feature, surprised it is not even in the phone stock. Didn't Google realize that notification toggle widgets are a must have nowadays ? A feature that should not have been left out in my opinion.
Anyways, do you think it would be possible to port over the S3 toggle system to the Nexus, or no way ?
requires touchwiz framework.

That's what I thought, oh well. Still surprised Google did not include these cool notification toggle widgets as a stock ICS feature. I remember when I first turned on my Nexus, I was like, hey where are the toggles ? I looked in settings, and couldn't find them, LOL

Why's that? No stock version of Android has had those toggles before. Stock Android is not packed full of the same features as the "skins" or "frameworks" offer.

I know, but doesn't mean Google shouldn't have added them. They are now a pretty standard common feature on most phones, why not just add it to be a stock feature in ICS ?
I'am planning on doing a CUSTOM CM9 build away from the current one, so to keep one nice and clean and the other one more customized.....i would love to have ideas please guys.....and i might do it...what would you like to see removed\added
thanks

A camera app that is like, if not resembles Sense's.

yeah. i like the sense camera too. the fm radio app would be nice as well.

Keep Beats Audio from stock.
I also prefer the sense lock screen, if that's possible.
lock screen with notification bubbles available on unlock icons (i.e. texts, email, calls) which show u the number of each respective new notifications (like sense has). Also those notification bubbles available on the icons in the launcher (like sense also has, and apex launcher pro)
I was using apex launcher pro with CM9 but I miss the notification bubbles on the unlock icons that sense offers.
I really like the available weather on the lock screen. But it'd be nice if there was a weather widget available that looked just like the weather on the lock screen. I really like the look of the lockscreen weather and would like that on my home screen.
also, an option to assign a shortcut to double tapping the home key. There is an app that offers this (Home2 shortcut) but itd be nice to have this built into CM9. right now shortcuts can be assigned to long press but itd be nice to have both long press and double tap as shortcut options
A sleek minimalist design with a transparent status bar! Also lots of performance tweaks, and other various tweaks.

I would love to see a Sense camera! I also like the HTC widgets with vanilla ICS. For some reason, when I use a diferent launcher, HTC Widgets don't show in the widgets pane.
Can you also include a camera mod if there's one out by then?
Waiting for your work... patiently.
A mod to choose to place the clock in the centre of the status bar - I pulled the SystemUI.apk from SuPrimo to use with the stock ROM, and I actually think it look nice having a centred clock

Please do not add Beats! I dislike how it hovers in the notification bar whether on or off and I find in general it brings no more benefit than a simple EQ.
Personally what I would like to see most is Google Now integration. Although what I would fall in love with is CM10 .

oh, and the option to turn off haptic feed back on the lockscreen! it is a tad bit annoying.
the quite hours trick where you check "disable haptic feedback" does disable haptic feedback on the lockscreen but it also disables all notification and call vibrations even though you don't check "disable vibrations".

Lockscreen gestures!! Was in CM7, but has been removed in CM9?
I like Sense pretty much, so I would be happy not to divert too far from it. The audio-player is very nice with the possibility to add other similar apps, like the FM Radio. This way all I need is the widget on one of my screens and I have access to it all. Please keep that.
Beats is still the best preset, just make that annoying icon go away from status-bar.
HTC weather and clock are nice!
Am I right, that the MIUI dialer looks like the Sense one?
I think, that in Sense all is so well integrated, that most should be kept and adding less is more. But then, I am just a noob, what do *I* know?!
Oh, and please try to port and add the One X camera mod (no compression).
