Hey all, it's my understanding that Halo and PIE are built to work on AOSP based roms. I would love to go back to the stability and bonus features of sense, but having to have the menu button eyesore at the bottom of most apps is a deal-breaker. Is there any possibility of getting these addons working on a sense based rom? If not, are there any apps with similar features that can be used with sense?
I would also like to add a torch option on the quick settings menu if that could be done. I realize I can download a flashlight app, but I have been spoiled with having quick access to it on iOS 7 and AOSP.
Flash bonestock. It has a torch toggle, and also go to settings, display, and check "longpress home for menu"

Floating Notifications is an app that is as close as you can get to Halo. There is a free trial period for about 30 days.
As far as pie control, I think there is a launcher called LMT Launcher in the play store that has a pie-like fixture.

LMT launcher works, but it's not in the play store. it's on XDA though. just search for it.
pie control (which is in the play store) works as well, just not as neat as LMT.
sometimes, though, with LMT, it takes a few tries to get an app to start. it's annoying. if pie control showed the time and other notifications like LMT does, it'd be so much better.
Both of these look good. Do they allow you to disable the stock menu button?

My bad. It know it was included in a rom I was using at some point (can't remember which one) and it had been floating around in my TiB for a while now. I assumed it was available in play store as well.

Do you mean the three dots button? You can install a custom rom to do that or xposed has several modules that let you do that. Try Sense 5 Toolbox module.

there are no 3 dots on bottom of screen on my ROM.
technically yes, they can be ported, for example IHTFP69 ported HALO to TW on Samsung. No one said it could be done, he is a genius.
Try my ROM out, if you don't like it, try another.

I just finished downloading your rom and making a nandroid backup. Can't wait to try it out. Thanks for all the suggestions! I've been trying to hold off until 4.3 but with the recent delay it's just not worth waiting anymore.

Replying here instead of in your thread in case anyone else is searching for this answer.
I am loving the rom so far, but I have two questions. The menu bar is gone almost everywhere, but it's still present in dolphin browser. Is there any way to fix that? It doesn't show at all on AOSP. LMT launcher is every bit as good as pie and the menu button being there prevents it from working properly.
I also don't seem to have a torch/flashlight widget in the quick settings. There is an app though which I can make work for me if there's no way to get it in quick settings. Just a minor personal preference.

I got the menu bar removed by changing a setting under display and gestures. It has the unfortunate side effect of making a long press on the home key open the menu as well, but it's still better than the always-present menu button.

I'm currently running AOKP's JB ROM and I'm trying to make a list of the things that are TouchWiz exclusive that I wish would be part of any original ROM. And so I turn to you good people so get a feel for what I might be missing.
Here's what I have:
The ability to slide left or right over a contact to call or send a text. Love that
I really like the messenging app. Clean and simple. Very fast and responsive.

Now that the nexus is rooted, HideBar can also be used to use the full screen:

Sorry to be a bother, but could you post a screen shot?
Yes, second for screen shot please
really nice work. I tryed the demo. It will hide the button-bar and the status-bar. But hey 3€ for this improvement is to high. Espacialy because in a few weeks there will be custom roms with this feature, too. Cyanogen and paranoid can do this too with longpress power button and expand Desktop i think.... and for free

It just removes the bar at the bottom of the screen. No point in making a screenshot
The demo is free. It fully works, all features as in the paid version, it just displays a small link to the market for a very short time. You can always buy the version at the market, great way to say thanks!
Does it just remove the bar but keep the buttons? I don't understand.
I think its neat but I wouldn't want to ruin the pure experience. I'll wait for Cyanogenmod to get a feature like this, they always follow Google style spot on.
Thanks this is exactly what I was looking for--just about. I knew I rooted for a reason. Didn't need BusyBox either.
I only wish there were more options to show the nav buttons. The current options are kinda easy to trigger for games.

Not bad. It would be useful to have a toggle on the power off screen menu. Loved that on a ROM I had on my Galaxy Nexus.

damn awesome.
the ghost back button is a little tricky to find, but i'm getting used to it
a gesture to show hide the status bar would make it perfect
I would suggest Fullscreentoggle.apk
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497558
for removing the navbar
and either GMD gesture controls or button savior (i use both) for navigation. Heres to taking back our entire screen
What I wonder is this. With 3rd party launchers, it's cake to hide the status bar. I swipe down to show it, I swipe down again to hide it. When it's hidden, it still shows for apps that've set the preference to leave it visible, whether or not you've hidden it in the launcher. Why hasn't this been implemented for the NavBar? Is it that much harder to do?

I used this method I'm on day 2 going on day 3 now using button savior and after the first 24 hours worth of use I've gotten used to using button savior and I love getting that extra real estate back. I was gonna post this method using the fullscreentoggle.apk while using button savior but I see u beat me to it.

I have been trying to use both of these apps but I cannot get them to function. Well button savoir works by showing the bottoms on the right when I want but I cannot get full screen to work..
I like the hide bar demo app but hate the ads. I just may have to buy. Just seems like there are so many apps that do so much for less than half the cost. I know it isn't a ton of cash but the app purchases add up.
The full screen app should make the bar disappear anyhow I believe..

Anyone else getting 'glitching/flicking' wallpaper on the home screens using the demo version ? ..maybe a reboot will fix, will try later.
Using a live wallpaper though is fine.
I'm still using it though, awesome app. If it's confirmed the full version is without this problem then i'm buying.
Luv having the full screen real estate! Im using the Fullscreentoggle.apk and Button Savior combination.

I got really tired of waiting for Samsung to release the JB update for my Bell Canada S3 and installed Task's AOKP ROM. I love the ROM and prefer the stock Google experience but miss some of the cool features Samsung added, mainly the ability to show the status bar in a fullscreen apps such as a game. Here is a video for those that don't know about this feature.
I have always been annoyed that i had to press the home button and exit out of my game/video to answer a text, change songs or whatever else might pop up on the notification bar and found myself using this allot when i got the S3, switch to AOKP i needed this back. Its just so simple and i'm surprised its not a native feature in Android.
But thankfully there is an app for that called Smart Statusbar which works well on my S3 and its free. I have tried this in MX Player and all my ga,mes like Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, Dead Trigger etc and it works on all.
TIP: Swipe from the bezel down and not from the top of the touch screen.
Thanks for the info. I am downloading the app now and going to try it out.
this was one of the features i missed the most coming from iOS to android.
Thank you very much!
Nice find!

You have to swipe TWICE in stock TW. I used this app for a while before discovering it here:

I'd have fewer apps installed, but to each his own.

Does swiping the app away actually close the app or just make it disappear from the recents tray?

Been like that since release day, so that's why J to the 4n wrote a little "Kill All" button into the Multitasking window. Its been annoying people ever since although we did try to explain on the ViperOne thread for ages that it doesn't matter how many apps are shown there as it doesn't mean they are necessarily active apps.
However, there is people who would like to not see a history of apps on their phone so e.g. the girlfriend can't see whats the guy been doing...
I hope you Verizon folks will get ViperOne to your phones soon too. Wish you best of luck!
If you're rooted, you should install xposed framework + Sense 5 toolbox. The latter has an option to allow pinch or swipe down from the multitask window to clear it out.

Sense Toolbox and an AOSP recent apps option, but I don't think it has the kill all option for the AOSP recent apps. You might look through gravity box for that. Most of the features in GB work on sense tons. I've had the option working previously.
Edit: The clear all option for AOSP recent apps is under miscellaneous tweaks in Gravity Box. You can use a combo of Sense Toolbox and GB to get what you're looking for.

I installed Xposed, and Sense Toolbox and it gave me a kill all option with pinch and swipe down. This is awesome because I like the way Sense UI has the recent apps laid out - but now I have a kill all option. Thanks a lot!
Edit: I also read about Gravity box that it doesn't play with with ROMs that are based off of manufacturer UI (Sense, Touch) and is only intended for AOSP experience ROMs like CM11.

Actually I found a way to have aosp recents. AND HTC at the same time accessible... No modding or anything needed.... Download quick shortcut maker from play store, go to activities, click on system ui, click on recent apps.. it will create a shortcut on your home screen to Google/ aosp recents, yet you'll STILL have HTC Style as default
