Quick brightness control

I came from the Epic 4G, and really, really miss this quick brightness control by holding and sliding along the status bar, a Samsung customization (I believe).
There are a lot of solutions out there, tried a few, and decided I really liked this one in the market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.curvefish.widgets.brightnesslevel
If you're a manual brightness dude like me (auto drives me nuts), give this a whirl. I put it down in the dock no GO Launcher, and I think I actually like it better than the Sammy feature on the Epic -- in addition to full control with a slider, there are some canned levels @ 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% that you can set with a button press (see screenshot). Most of the time, 0, 25, and 75 are good settings for me in different conditions.
Sure beats going through the settings menu tree!

Sammy had it the best. I'm dying without that slide on the notification bar. It's so much easier when you don't have to jump to the home screen or settings.

Agree completely. Hopefully a dev will implement a similar mod for the GN (not port and steal it from Sammy, unless it is in the public domain under the GNU license, in which case, port it over!!!)
In the meantime, the widget I found, which is free, comes about as close as you can get.

How about this?
The blue line underneath where it says brightness means that auto brightness is enabled, when it isn't the line to the right of it turns blue instead

Ive used a curvefish brightness control app on my DInc for a while. and Works great on my GNex

I use quick settings app.

Suggest you try 'OneClick Widget' by Wedroid. You can just tap the widget to go through 5 levels of brightness. Works like a charm. The pack includes widgets for other functions like airplane mode, wifi on/off etc. Widgets are customisable for colour and size. Works a treat.

Some Photoshop help with TW Messaging Icon

Hey guys, I'm usually pretty good at being able to figure these things out but I am having some trouble with this one. I have the stock TW messaging icon that I am working on. I have it right now so the envelope is saturated to gray/white and the page sticking up out of the envelope is blue. I want to reverse the colors on those EXACTLY. As in, I want the EXACT white/gray on the envelope to be the color of the page, and that EXACT blue on the page to be on the envelope. I've tried the color swap tool but it doesn't work. I've selected each individually, manually played with it, but still no luck. What I keep getting is a "lighter" blue on the envelope and a darker gray on the page; not the exact colors I want. If anyone would be able to help me out I would be SUPER appreciated and you will definitely have earned yourself a thanks. Here is my .png:

I have been able to get it REALLY close, except my problem there is I have to use the "lightness" bar and I start losing the detail of the image like the lines forming an upside down "V" on the envelope and the "text" lines on the page.
EDIT: And maybe throw in a brief explanation on how you managed to do it. This has been driving me nuts for the past 2 days. And the sad part is, it's probably easy to do lol

I'd say separate them into 2 different layers and apply a color overlay of hue to both with the other color.

Looking for an icon

I'm looking for a power symbol icon (circle with half line through) that is white with no background. I've searched for it with no luck. I've found several that are white with a black background, but I don't have an app on my phone to remove the black background. (FYI, Google Image search for white power symbol yields some unusual results...lol) The icon I'd really like to use is the power-like icon on the Trickster Mod app, that shows in the status bar beside the set on boot successful notification, but I can't seem to find it in the apk after extracting it. If anybody knows where that's at, or a theme I can download with an icon like that, I'd appreciate a nudge in the right direction.... lol
I'd also be happy with an app I could download for my phone for photo editing, where I could take out a background layer of black on a suitable image, while leaving the white power symbol. The ones I've used so far seem to be just for photo editing, as far as photos you'd take with the camera, not really an actual photo editor.
Thanks for any help!!

What about this one -- directly from a Google Search. (and it has a transparent bg)
It looks invisible on the XDA site....

I probably should've included this in the op (my bad ), but I'm looking for a small icon (specifically small lines, not overall size). That's why I liked the trickster icon. Theirs isn't actually a power symbol, but it looks close. I'm trying to add it to my LMT pie, for a button that works as a screen off button, and I want small lines on it to match the nav buttons. I did do several Google image searches, but they all were large icons or thick lines or had backgrounds. I know its kinda picky, that's why I was hoping for a good pic editor app. There are several icons that will work, if I can get rid of the background.
Sorry the op wasn't more clear, and thanks for the help!

Here ya go. I made this to match the rest of the google navbar images and it got added to aokp.
good day.

You sir, are awesome. Thank you! I wasn't expecting anybody to make the icon for me but I do appreciate it. Thanks again!
Edit: I just added it to my pie and it is beautiful. lol

These are the issues I see. If enough people want this app, I'll continue fixing them. Don't post issues about these or pm me about them.
No complaining
I know already.

was wondering if you can make a transparent out with blue letters, i think it would fix most of those issues also since you cant see black on black you would be able to see it in the transparent theme

Thanks for the fix. Looks good I can see the checkbox. Just wondering if you can see the difference between email that has been read and not. Also is it possible to get the white/grey text version? Thanks again for your works

I can do the gray text later. All the other stuff, that app is so backwards, I'm not going to even try.

Question Avoiding burn-in on status bar?

Is there any way to hide the status bar icons? Specially the clock and battery indicator so we can avoid burn ins? Had burn-in issue on my mi 9t pro so Im not gonna take any chances...
I was easily able to hide the icons on my rog phone 2 but it seems that miui is blocking that method(having all these features, it's such a shame it still doesnt have the ability to hide status bar icons!)
Does anyone have any other way to do this?

SystemUI Tuner! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zacharee1.systemuituner
Its a nice app
You can grant the necessary permissions with either Root or ADB.

The clock, yes I think so. But I don't know about Battery, I'm not able to check it right now

Maybe not the answer you want to hear
I use HavocOS - there you can hide all status bar icons. I do it so, but only because I don't want to disturb my home screen with these icons
For the battery status I use a thin line on the top of the screen (it's a feature of Havoc), which changes the length and the color depending on the battery level... you can choose color #1 (fully charged) and color #2 (empty). I picked 2 colors (black for #1 and gray for #2), so that this line only appears when the battery is at about 30 %. Really nice

MIUI doesn't support Fullscreen Gestures on any Third-Party Launchers.

Don't bother, you re gonna swith to another phone anyway before it gets burn in. Or you can always replace the screen under warranty since burn in is coverer by xiaomi.
