Why is the UI in JB different? - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, just wanted to know why in the JB update for S advance, the ui doesnt come like in other devices, i mean with that dash above the "message, contact and phone" icons?
and also why the applications icon is different? The commonly seen in one with a circle around periods.
Also why is the lockscreen in stock not the same with the new drag function?
Thanks in advance

Hi, first of all, it's just silly, uncomfortable and pointless to make a new thread for a simple question instead of using the Questions and Answers thread [Q&A].
Second, no one knows the actual reason why the UI in Jelly Bean for S Advance is different except from Samsung itself.

HTC Hero original animation?

Hello Everyone,
How come the developers are making roms with the animation like the flipping clock widget and all that. I want a rom with all the original cool animation. Can someone get me one? Please let me know.
Thank You

the roms without the flipping clocks "flipping" are roms based off the new hero update. the new update increases speed.
one tweak to get more speed was to turn off the flip in the flip clock..
the next best hero rom that still flips is jacs 1.6r2a
Hello All,
I noticed this post and joined. I too would really like the clock/weather widget from the original ROM.
I understand it was taken out to reduce lag, but I don't have many apps or widgets running, and if I could have the original animation it would be really great. I upgraded to the latest ROM and was really disappointed that the clock no longer "flipped". It's that kind of feature that makes the HTC Hero aesthetically better than an iPhone.
Is there a way to have the old widget on the new ROM?
Many thanks if anyone has any ideas!

[Q] Cm7 lockscreen sense 3.0

Im no dev but I am sure that the actual 3.0 lockscreen is part of the HTC Sense framework therefore cannot be ported over easily over to CM7 which is built up from stratch. It was a bit like having the Ginger 2.3 CRT effect on Froyo 2.2, which it just does not work as easily has an APK or zip flash.

Ain't happening. You ever tried to mix oil and water? That is essentially the same effect you will receive.

SO SO ESSENITALLY answer!
There is no way to use it in clear AOSP ROM... as it need a lot of SENSE components like weather, nad other apks that wont run on CM...
Thanks peeps
Just a shame it isn't possible coz the cm7 lockscreen is pretty bland and I wudnt want an app to replace it
Widget Locker is pretty good if you want another lockscreen, check it out

But adding a emulsifier does the job . Try the apk floating around the evo forums.

Is there any way to get the sense lock screen but much more customizable. Like a lock screen from WidgetLocker?
Cause the lockscreen is fine by itself but lacks customization...
Why can't we get a music player on the sense lock?
i have the link but i cant post it since im new
sadly i try it on my incredible2 running cm7 stable it didnt worked installed fine but i dont see it even after reboot
in fact it felt slow and weird after reboot
Actually guys, I have seen it on MIUI. There is an NDT MIUI ROM floating around which has the sense Lockscreen. Now we all know that CM7 and MIUI are both from aosp. So if it working on MIUI it should be able to work on CM7 with a little bit of porting. We already have examples of the camera and music apps from MIUI working on CM7. So from my point of view it should work if you are ready to get your hands a little dirty.

Congrats about your Sense 3.0 lockscreen on CM7... It's not free though...
i try the agile lock also is buggy and is lacking features in my opinion unless you get the paid version i guess
Try livelocker : https://market.android.com/details?id=net.livelocker&feature=search_result
I find it pretty cool and beautiful with some nice configs and with the ring style.

[Q] JB -grey status bar -how to change?

Hi guys,
I think the new JB is great in all ways except one, I hate the new grey status bar. Is there any way to change it black or transparent? I know that this "problem" has been fixed on other Samsung devices like SGS3 or Note, but what about SGS Advance?
Unfortunately I am not an android expert and don't know what files should be modified for this. But I think it is as simple as in the other Samsung devices. Could somebody from the expert guys handle this?
Tnx in advance!

Actually the grey status bar is a bug...I got it yesterday too...please do a complete factory reset,cache/dalvik wipe in stock recovery...the actual status bar is black...the bug gives the whole rom a peculiar grey tint...also the transparency elements are hampered...everything was solved by the simple factory reset and cache wipe...plz try it...:good:
hmm interesting
I did a factory reset before and after installing JB, but I will try once more.
maybe it will help...
(the only problem is I have installed all apps that I needed and now the phone works well...now I have to reinstall everything )

Well.....thats a pain in the ass I knw.....i had to do it myself yesterday:cyclops:.....when i istalled everything first time and then thought "maybe" the grey thing is a bug...coz it shouldn't look this way normally...then I took the risk and it paid off...the rom looks pretty nice though...I changed the ppi to 170 and swapped the stock launcher with Nova...and uninstalled the useless bloatware samsung usually provides...much ram freed too... :victory:

Well that isnt normal now is it?? status bar normally has the same colour as the drop down menu...so maybe its a different bug in yours,i dont know...i have only documented what i experienced personally yesterday....your experience may of course vary with mine...in my case it was a bug...coz its not there now...status bar is now beautiful black...and all the transparency effects are fully working too...

Well its just a personal preference.....I like having larger screen space...changing ppi to about 170 gives a decently large screen-space without much loss in image quality to my eyes...
This is not a bug, it's a feature.
Samsung deliberately changed the color of the statusbar to darkgrey so the Amoled pixels on the statusbar are ON like all the other pixels of the screen so they all have the same level of wear.
This way you won't get a different color on that bar over time.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1897351
Anyway this is why they changed it for the SGS3
Guys this is the color of my status bar presently...u can check and compare it yourself...if this is the color of yours too the you haven't faced the bug i mentioned....

[Q] Hiding the Android bar

Hi there. I love my Xperia Z on the great whole, but I was wondering if there was a way (via an app maybe) to auto-hide the grey android bar and then maybe making it reappear by swiping in from the side? It's kind of annoying having it there take up space, when you'd like to use up the entire screen.
Thanks!
PS: if its possible, am I able to do it without rooting? I dont wanna Lose the bravia engine feature

I highly recommend using the SEARCH option. Will save you loads of time.
Um... yes, thanks. But I can't seem to find any topics regarding hiding the bar without rooting. Does this mean it can't be done?

[Q] Get iOS 7-like Statusbar?

Hi guys
I'm completely new to this forum and I hope that I didn't post my question in the wrong section, if so, please move it! Thanks in advance
Well 2 days ago I finally rooted my Galaxy S3 LTE (still running stock Android 4.1.2) and already managed to get a completely transparent statusbar.
Now I want to change certain Icons in the statusbar and want to make it look like the new iOS 7 statusbar.
In the attachments you find a screenshot of an iOS 7 Statusbar and my current one!
So basically I need to move the clock to the center, get a new battery icon (changed my current one with UOT-Kitchen already but somehow couldn't find any other decent icons for my needs) and maybe get rid of these two arrows of the Mobile Data Connection/WLAN or at least change their colors.
I hope you guys can help me and remember that I'm fairly new to all these root-things, so if you explain something, do it as easy as you can
Kind regards and sorry for my bad English
