Like it or not, I'm having it HC style .
Sorry for the poor quality of the pic.
Once CM reaches a stable build, I'll work on a rom.

Looks awesome Sam is the notification bar flip flopped?

The notification window animation still needs some work, if that's what you mean..

Is there a reason the HC launcher is not being used ?
Probably because of the missing dependencies.. You can't simply copy/paste the apk.. I wish it were that simple...

I really like this thinking. I only have limited experience with Honeycomb, but there's some question in my mind whether 7" is too small for Honeycomb and Gingerbread will be a nicer experience. Honeycomb clearly rocks on 10".

Looks awesome. I assume you went crazy with the framework to do a lot of this. Any suggestions for someone just starting out with framework editing? Ive looked a bit at the code, and its a bit intimidating, probably because im not sure where to start. have any advice or resources for us mortals? Thanks for what you do!
Read The code is explicit and commented. You can use a search tool to find string instances, depending on what you wish to change..

Do you have a flashable zip? I would love to try this out! Awesome work!
How did you get the bar on the bottom? Can't wait for your rom

There's an app called Plug In Launcher that I find might be useful to combine with your nookcolorUmS app for those having problems mounting sd card. it launches an app when you plug in a usb or head phone Jack. If you devs can find a way to activate a microphone in the head phone Jack it might activate a telephony program also. And yes, waiting for your rom anxiously

very exciting, I am enjoying CM7 right now but if I could get the 'back' button on the bottom that would be awesome. Love your work sam and I can't wait to see more of this.
am i reading this right?
When cm7 hits stable your going to make a heavily styled cm rom with hc features? Or you're going to work on the hc rom?
I guess what im asking is should i look more forward to cm7 stable or hc asop?
I think sam is saying that he'll build a more tablet friendly rom using CM7 once they get it stable..
I know I'll switch to HC when they release an AOSP rom for the Nook Color..

you should just check out HC on the nook if possible. i really do not think 7" is too small for HC, especially since the nook has such a high resolution display.
I'm not sure there's a point in making a flashable zip of this right now. This would require an update every time a new version of cm is released.
If there's such an need for it, I could release a RC1 version. But nightlies I doubt it. Sorry.
Moreover, the notification panel is everything but slick. It needs some coding still.
And this thread is only CM related. Nothing to do with HC.

Can this possibly work on Froyo?
Well its always doable. But the framework has changed since 2.3. So the changes will have to be done differently. Haven't looked into it. To be honest, I don't see much interest in working on froyo when a stable version of GB is one the way..

While I'm at it, is there any other feature someone can think of that they would like to see added/modified in CM7's UI?

Im bored to cm7 themes,i hope someone help me
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Nope.
They use two totally different theming engines so the only way would be to port it to cm7. Cm7's theme engine is a b*tch compared to the one for MIUI though.
Hi everyone, I'm throwing this thread together for those of you who want to get the most out of ice cream sandwich there is for our vibrants right now. This is a collection of everything i used to get my ICS experience. I take no credit for any of this, I'm simply creating a place to get everything ics easily.

Directions... Download everything you need from above. Place them all on the root of your sd card, EXCEPT the MIUI theme. Place the MIUI theme in the "theme" folder located on your sd card in your MIUI folder... sdcard>miui>theme.
Do a nandroid back up, then a factory wipe. Format system and cache. Flash ICS vibrant fixed. Before rebooting, flash Vibrant ICS.. Fix permissions. Reboot.
Now, to set your theme. After your done with the above steps and are booted up, go to "themes" app. Look for "black ice" and hit apply.
Your almost done. Next open your favorite apk manager (I use astro) and search for ics launcher. Install ics launcher and presto! your done. Restore your back ups as usual and dance around the room. Now all your friends will be jealous that you have ics (sort of) and they dont.
Make sure you follow all the credit links i have provided and thank everyone! I am only the messenger. These guys deserve a standing ovation, or maybe a pepsi at least?
Please let me know if any links stop working or if I have missed something. Thanks! Enjoy!
Here is the youtube.apk as per request. I havent tested this yet. I assume it needs tweaking before it will run on our phones. Here it is anyways. If someone wants to test it and let me know, Ill pull it if it isnt compatible. Good Luck!!... http://www.4shared.com/android/RxSQ6lZW/YouTube.html

That's just an emulator launcher, it's not the real, official ICS launcher.
I'm pretty sure devices with buttons won't have those.
BTW, the GalnetMIUI ICS is not real ICS. IT is GB with ICS framework merged into it.

True. Tried it already.
Felt nothing different.
it will be interesting to see if we'll get hardware acceleration, or if even the officially upgraded phones will get that feature.
Better launcher now.
Finally chose launcherpro over the gingerbread one.

Yeah, i have a ICS theme but my notification tray looks different then yours, ie the icons are smaller and date is moved. Yours looks closer to android 4.0.
Lolol, I'm a loser.
Going out with my girlfriend in a little, when I come back, I'll link you guys to everything. <3
I'm also running a full ics experience. I have a JVT simply stock rom with ICS theme that I found in the i9k theme section. I also have an ADW theme to emulate the icons as well. I'll post screens and links if anybody wants them later when I get to a computer.

I like CM7, but it's not very appealing to the eye. It's fast and all that but I'm looking for a ROM that's both beautiful and fast and of course stable. I'll think of ICS when it's much more stable. Maybe I'll run MiUI again. Oh, and it must have trackball wake. Or maybe it mustn't, so what about sense?

I wouldn't choose a ROM on the basis of it's appearance. That's what Themes are for.

For my money CM7 is the best ROM. With so many themes and mods around it's up to you to make it look how you want it.

Ok, thanks for your input and thanks for the link.
What's the stock gingerbread firmware (2.3.6) like? Never tried it as my phone was delivered with cyanogen's CM7 build a few months back. Now, I run samuaz's CM7 build, though.
If you can recommend a better/faster CM7 kang/build, feel free to share.
Since CM doesn't pump out "official" nightlies anymore I've been using
temasek's kang build.
http://www.mediafire.com/temasek#2tyt9uzxa9ahx
another option is Euroskank kang builds
http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/gigglebread/
They're both good.
I am quite the fan of MIUI Roms. Currently I use QND MIUI found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084726 it's beautiful on the inside. But dress it up however u want using the theme manager. Or dig around on XDA for miui theme.

I'm currently satisfied with Stock, after trying 99% of the roms out there.
Now I want to flash MIUI v5 (3.9.13 is the latest as far as i know) and see if it is any good.
I see that MIUI isn't very popular here as it is on the Gnex forums or other devices such as sony and samsung forums.
What do you guys think about it - Good or bad ? please state why
Used it, was good but definitely not as slick and fast as stock. Also the recent task manager makes your widgets freeze I'd you clear all.

I just reverted to stock also. I did not experience lag at all, but the overall experience was slow. Ios and EVEN Ubuntu touch feels faster and snappier that that.
I use MIUI as my daily driver and I've got to say it is AMAZING!
BTW to get the Gallery and other devices to recognize your SD data you need a media scanner app
I use the Trinity Kernel and it rocks with great performance and battery life that fits my needs :3
I don't OC the CPU on this Kernel but I do have the GPU OC'd to 480 MHz
All in all it may not be stock android
But its worth a try :3

Why this is not popular here? Cuz there is no official rom for n4. All the versions you see here are ports. Miui experience is thus not the best, but its not too bad. Personally i am hooked to more features like pie and halo etc thus making miui a little less attractive.
What about the Miui roms you see on miui.com and xiaomi.eu/, are there any differences? Both are 3.9.13 and JB...

It's a great rom I'm till using it and love it. I mean it doesn't have that buttery smooth scrolling as the stock vanilla, but it's barley noticeable . Thanks goes to Datsun.510 for porting this rom onto the nexus 4
Looks pretty sweet...I've used the v5 theme, but the experience itself looks compelling, as do the themes:

Not a big fan of MIUI, kinda reminds me of iOS.
The themes look nice tho but I rather stick to the vanilla android like experience.

Not the best rom out there. Then again that very sentence is subjective. I prefer a less skinned aosp type of rom.
looks good but it works bad in my opinion and since i'm not a big fan of chinese mobile, no offence but let's stick with the identity of pure google! :cyclops:
I fell in love with miui with my Galaxy SL i9003 then with my xperia arc s lt18i and now with my nexus, where battery life, interface and smoothness is incredible... Now I am not using it, but I allways come back
Ehhhhh its OK pretty simple and elegant but it has negatives also...in my opinion its mainly extra useless apps and no app drawer
