So I used to use this app called B&B brighness control to throw a widget on my screen. Tap the widget and it brings up a slider for brightness adjustment.
http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/brightness-control_bjtr.html
^Thats the app.
I have it on my phone still, but i just rooted and am running the MIUI ROM and I can't add the widget to the home screen. Are there any widgets similar to this that i can use? I want a slider not just a tap to change brightness type thing
I don't know why the widget wouldn't work, that's odd.
If you use the grid toggles you'll have a slider in your notification pulldown - the compact toggles only go through certain levels.
For a widget I use Widgetsoid 2.x, it's a set of toggles but if you don't want to use the other toggles you can add a 1*1 widget. Select only the brightness toggle, then scroll over to theme and make it look however you want. Once you get it the way you want you can save it as a profile. Scroll all the way over and apply. When it asks you to go to global preferences, choose yes. You'll need to change the settings to get it a popup with the slider. You can also launch preferences from the Widgetsoid icon.
In preferences, go to brightness modes and select "custom (seekbar)". Settings are automatically saved, so you can just back out when you're done.

Just last week, Nova Launcher’s Kevin Barry took to Google+ to talk a little bit about the future of the launcher, and his plans to bring KitKat features over to it. Now just a few days later, Nova Launcher 2.3-beta1 has arrived!
The latest beta gives Nova Launcher fans a chance to try out some pretty cool new KitKat-inspired features ahead of their eventual arrival to the official stable app.
Here’s the full-list of features:
Kitkat scroll indicator (Settings > Desktop > Scroll Indicator)
Kitkat folders (Settings > Folders > Light Background and Folder Background > Light Circle)
Kitkat font (Settings > Look and Feel > Icon Font > Condensed, requires Android 4.1+)
Kitkat app drawer (on by default, get the old style by long-press > Edit > tap the icon > Built-in)
Transparent system bars on Kitkat (Settings > Look and feel > Transparent Notification Bar)
Transparent nav bar on Moto X (Settings > Look and feel > Transparent Navigation Bar)
Drawer tab indicator scrolls during tab change
Drawer scroll indicator is relative to current tab
Scroll indicators animate properly for infinite scroll
Backup/Restore from external sdcard (on devices with sdcards)
Fast scroll for vertical app drawer
Fixes and optimizations
After a couple of hours, the Beta version of the app will show in the Play Store
You can download the apk file here:

maybe transparent status bar isnt compatible with our API level
with this launcher we will be able to use these awesome features if we get kitkat based rom
Yeah to have the transparent status bar and KitKat app drawer, you need a capable ROM ie a KitKat rom

AllianceROM intends to give the user what THEY want. Tired of flashing Roms and having to ask for little changes to suit your taste? Tired of having to manually change colors of the toggles or the battery or move your clock or make statusbar transparent or any of the other multitude of other little color and style tweaks that Android users love? Tired of flashing AROMA installer for every little change you want to make? Tired of having to add your favourite images everytime a new rom comes out?
If you answer yes to any of these then AllianceROM is for you! We have a huge array of "on the fly" options for you to play with. Make your phone to YOUR style. YOUR color. YOUR perfection.
The majority of modifications in AllianceROM are OPTIONAL. You can turn them on and off at will. We try not to impose many things on people because we realise that Android is all about INDIVIDUALITY. Make YOUR Rom and YOUR phone how YOU want it and change it on a whim.

thanks for the quick reply. unfortunately im out of thanks for the day
Awesome work... Downloading now !!! Thank you
Booted, Ez PZ
And the bootanimation is cool!! I will come back in a day and share what i run into
Edit: If changing wallpaper in settings for home and lock using the TW wallpaper chooser (not LWP or gallery) will FC settings. Doing the same thing on the homescreen from the menu key works

I did not have that problem with wallpaper, TouchWiz wallpaper & theme chooser both work (though i prefer alliance manager) but if they work better & more consistently for you from the home screen then apply them that way.
And for anyone wanting to wake the screen with the home key in addition to the power button, it's under custom settings/hardware keys/home key
Disable wake with home key and then re-enable it as pictured:

Very nice. I tried porting this awhile back and it kicked my butt.

Thank you my good sir! I'm currently on my 3rd install. I will take another run at it here soon. I wiped the data and both cache's x 3. My issue occurs when I'm restoring my apps via the play store. I didn't modify anything.

No, there isn't any freezing or stuttering or lag, but after the first flash & setup it's little slow as the rom settles. After that first hour or so (and def after playing with agni settings) it flies & is smooth as butter. Even the battery life is great.
People just need to get it set up to their liking & then let the rom settle (with most roms that can take up to a week, with this one it only takes an hour or two I noticed)... It's excellent :good:

Just a quick question, did you wipe internal storage (your internal sd card)?
Should wipe:
/system
/data (including /data/media or internal storage depending on which recovery you're using)
/cache
/dalvik
If the problem is occuring when restoring apps from google play, my bet is on .android or .android_secure files leftover on your internal storage from a previous installation. If you want to keep these just in case, back them up to you external, but definitely do a FULL wipe first, which includes internal storage.
How should i get the Notifications on the Lock screen and app ICONS on the Notch Bar, Tried everything but nothing is working... !!
If you want notification on lock screen stay on default theme i.e. Fantasy theme.
If you want to change theme, apply new theme then goto theme > me > customise and tap lock screen style and select magazine unlock.
You applied new theme fully with default lock screen.

Actually, if the lock screen is dynamic/animated notifications won't work.. sad !! Honor lacks in software optimization

It's pretty simple,
For notifications on Lock screen:
Settings/Security & Privacy/Face unlock/ DESELECT "Smart Lock Screen Notification"
For app icon on notch bar:
Settings/Apps & Notifications/Notification &Status bar/Notification method/ CHOOSE "Icons"?
Just turn off the smart notification!

All you need to do is just turn off the "Smart Notifictions" is the setting menu. If you are unable to find the option then in settings menu in search bar just search for the Smart notification and then turn it off. You'll then get all the notifications on the lockscreen on the statusbar as well.
