I've tried the roadsms app on my Aria. It works but due to the size of the screen I'm missing 1/4 of the keyboard. So I know these apk's can cross builds. Could some kind member post the apk to the Captivate's notification bar? I don't know if it would work on Sense UI, but its worth a try! The Galaxy notification is sooooo much better than any other build. I mean, come on this is how it should be. Wifi, bluetooth and gps control is right there!!!
Anyways, someone whos rooted can you rip the xda-community your apk?

Here's the framework-res.apk file from my Captivate, which contains the notification bar AFAIK. FYI our doesn't have a GPS toggle though, just wifi/bluetooth/silent/vibrate.
I'm still somewhat new to android so I'm unsure of how you'd get this working on your Aria though. Good luck

Edit:Or maybe you'd need twframework-res.apk? http://www.mediafire.com/?4yter4knnfl1s28
Installing a different notification bar is not an easy process.
There's a whole lot of system-specific things going on with it, so moving the TouchWiz bar to a Sense phone will fail, and hard, perhaps to the point of preventing you from even booting, without some serious modifications to the framework-res.

I've kinda asked into it before and it seems hard.
But if we all got together to raise some ruckus for it it should get done. All the roms coming out are about speed. I just don't see why there hasn't been a rom that attempted to
1. Use the Samsung BeholdII notifcation bar with wifi/gps/bluetooth/+ toggels
2. The Pulse 3x3 canvas
Just things like that.
But then again I could be the only one interested in it.. what do you think?
Icons can be used in anything if they can be sized correctly but certain system apps rely on the frameworks from the specific UI overlay(sense,pulse,blur).
Plus I don't think they're interested in doing that stuff.
I literally have no interest.
None.
Maybe I'll have to see it though.
like the subject says....
i have a rooted telus milestone..so i can't install roms...
i can however have fun with metamorph...
i've been dying for a black status bar with white font/time...
but all the ones i've found are for roms (dwang or whatever, cy, etc)
i was wondering if one exists for stock roms so we can just use it with metamorph...
thanks!
Creating a MetaMorph file is pretty easy and all you would need to do is dig through the ROM an figure out where those files are and what they are called.
definitely...i took a semi proactive approach and did edit a bunch of things just to test them out...
i was just working a huge week this week and didn't have time to sit aorund and mess with my phone, hehe
i still haven't found a metamorph that changes the font colour of the clock/notifications/etc in the notification bar...
also, i'm trying to figure out how to change the icons of an installed (non-stock) app...there are few mickey mouse ways to do, but not guide per se...if i have time, on wednesday, i'll write one up if i figure it out...
I've spent a while now making new images and editing xmls in a few widgets that I like to use so that they would match the stock sense settings widgets. I've seen a few themed ones floating around the forums over the years, but while they looked like the sense ones, they never lined up with them on the screen, or had the right text, or matched in landscape mode, and it always annoyed me. So now that I'm done I thought I'd share with you all.
There are three attached:
Lock screen - toggles the lock pattern on and off.
Brightness - Toggles (and displays) your current brightness setting, at any percent from minimum to full, including auto.
Flashlight - turns on and off the camera LED to your preset brightness level with one click.
All I did was create the images and edit various xmls. I want to thank (of course) the original devs: Curvefish for making the lock screen and brightness toggle widgets (available on market), and user f3d0r on xda who made the 'beamwidget' for the desire and got me started thinking about doing my own. Also okolowicz for some help figuring out a decompiling issue.
These are very nice, good work!

I have one request. I've noticed that the flashlight turns off whenever my screen timeout. Can you fix it so that it works even if my screen is off? Or can anyone who is reading this that knows how? Thanks.

This is a theme thread, hence the theme and app forum. You'd have to ask the original dev, or in your case find f3d0r's thread over in the desire development forums and request it there.

Im getting the new myTouch 3g slide for Christmas and I was trying to see if you could make me a the Samsung Galaxy theme for my myTouch 3g slide. All help is greatly appreciated. By the way, I'm only 12 years old so don't get mad if I don't understand.

Not something I'm even remotely interested in. I find the sense ui far better looking than galaxy. Either way, this is not something that should be requested in here junking up my thread. Please take unrelated requests like this to the theme forum.

I agree. Espresso ui looks better than the Touch Wiz ui, but I guess that's a matter of opinion.

Having trouble with the brightness widget. Keeps showing stock curvefish style. Any help?
No idea. Worked fine for me, two other phones I installed it on, and everyone else. I'll ask my usual question, what ROM are you running?
Using a rooted stock form3.70 EVO Rom (froyo). When I look into the apk, there are still curvefish widget images. Could this be the problem?
Noticed that the original images, icon.png and shortcut.png only show up in the drawable_hdpi folder. Perhaps these weren't changed as the mytouch 3g is a lower res phone than the EVO?
That's exactly it (and why I asked). These are for the espresso (hence the thread title) but would work on other 320x480 devices.
You won't be able just to move the images, as there are layout and text edits too, not to mention the smaller images blown up don't look so good. I do have ones made in hi-res for my vision, but again those wouldn't work well as sprint didn't do/get a true update to 2.2 sense. They left some rosie layouts and options the same as 2.1 and also the settings widgets, as 2.2 removes the 'switches' on the right in favor of a bar at the bottom that lights up when activated. Plus they are done to pay widgets so I havent distributed them. Sorry.
I understand. Is there anyway to get a working one? I'd gladly pay for it. Also, your older version, I got it a while back, works fine. It's the same as the new one except doesn't allow the selection of 'auto'. Since sprints 2.2 is messed up, as you say, could I use the one with a small edit or is it a huge undertaking?

Actually I believe the flashlight one is available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676328 for hdmi devices and with the switch on the right, which should suit your needs! Hope that works for you.
Hi all. I'm looking for someone that might have found a way to remove the clock from the status bar. I've found different ROMs and update packages meant for other phones that are supposed to remove it, but I would rather try to find a tried and true method for the captivate. If one exists anyway, the last time I searched for this I read it wasn't possible with our phones.
So has anyone been able to accomplish this on their captivate?
Oh, I'm also running perception build 7.
Just gonna bump once
I tried to replace the services.jar file with one that was meant to remove the clock, but that rendered the phone unbootable :/ Which is what I assumed would happen.
Any ideas?
Looking for the same thing. I run beautiful widgets and have no need for clock in the notification bar.
Running Assonance 3.1
Likewise! I also run Beautiful Widgets and don't really see the need for this clock ....
I use zeam as my launcher and hide the status bar in prefs. To make notifications easily accessible, I set then to swipe down gesture.

UPDATE 9/3/11 - I have all the extras discussed added and the layout straight (I hope). There is now just a single zip attached that should be good to go. I would rather not add more functions at this time, as there are other projects I need to finish (ROMs, Power Widgets, 6-bar signal, etc., etc...)
Hi all. In the process of creating my upcoming Magnolia ROM for the Incredible based on the new official GB update, I managed to activate the quick settings tab in the notifications pull down bar. I haven't seen this anywhere else, so I thought I'd share with everyone so we can get more ROMs cooking off the official GB update.
This is just the stock SystemUI.apk with the quick settings tab activated (including the standard "extras" like brightness and media volume) and the GPS reticle hidden. No other changes have been made. Devs feel free to grab this and mod as you wish.
Just copy the zip file to your sdcard and flash as usual. As always, please backup first, and you flash this mod entirely at your own risk. If you want things rearranged or functions added, etc., please feel free to ask your favorite dev. I need to move onto some other stuff.....
Steve
Thanks Steve!! I spent most of yesterday trying to activate them with no luck. I can't wait to see what I was missing. Great work!!
Edit: I also confirm that after flashing your zip, they're working perfectly.
Like a boss! That's awesome man, very impressive. Without having to dig through the entire apk could you let us know which xml you had to edit or how you managed to achieve this? It was so elusive for me lol.
Hey, now we've got a chance to get everybody back on Sense 1.0 roms.
I can confirm the zip works, also. Great job!

That's sick it's working, what are the stock quick settings that it activates? I can't flash at this very moment.
Dumb question I flashes this and I see nothing on the pull down?

Wifi, bluetooth, hotspot, GPS, and mobile network.
Not much, but I know it's not difficult to add things to that.

It's the tabbed style pulldown like in Sense 2.1/3.0. Not the CM style toggles at the top of the status bar.
Nice find, wonder eBay else HTC left buried in code for devs to find.

Pull down the notification bar and touch the "quick settings" tab on the bottom right.
Edit: Jermaine beat me to the answer
I'm on McSenseless and when I pull the notification bar down there no tabs at the bottom? Hmmm
Is this because sense UI has been deleted and replaced with LauncherPro?

Yeah I might have to do some trickery to get it to work without rosie so we will see, stay tuned. But it will definitely be in my McSense rom.
Excellent, thanks sk806!
Anybody know how to add more of the settings that appear in the 2.1/3.0 roms?

You need to wipe dalvik-cache for them to work. I tested it on my rom, without rosie and it works fine.

I wiped good lol and still nothing
Worked great on my custom gingersense Rom. Thanks
Can anyone tell me how to add a few quicksettings like silent, vibrate and the such, or is this something a dev needs to do? I will be going to McSense as soon as these are implemented.
Worked great, I just used UOT on the file, mixed it up with Liberation 2.0 Beta 5, a new set of battery icons, and green overscroll. Now I just need one with Brightness, Rotation Lock, and screen timeout!
Thanks for the hard work, very appreciated!
Cheers

Just flashed the quick settings and they work flawlessly. Thanks a ton!! This rooted OTA is getting better and better daily.
