Did anyone managed to port it?

I would love to see this for GB too. My Droid X keys are barely hanging on. I'm using an ICS ROM right now and love the softkeys, but want to go back to GB because of all the other bugs in the ICS ROM I'm using.

Trust me it's the best for hd2 I always used that one since 2 years and I tried everything... just ics softkeys are better

I agree. I use zMooth for a long time and can't imagine my HD2 without zMooth.
Its not a key, its a small swipe surface on the bottom of the screen and it does not take a part of the screen away. E.g. swipe left for back, or right for menu.
See the pic. attached.

It's an option of battery settings inside RCTweaks of RCMix3D ROM. Also the ScreenOff button on bottom-right. It's a pretty good thing.
This feature is in all CM7 ROMs, it's called TabletTweaks. And it is even better, as it uses only statusbar.
good job

Hey Xda Friends! ;D
Just saw the keynote of the new HTC Sense HD, and thought..
Could it be possible to port it to the Legend?
Well.. Not in full HD, but.. with skins and stuff!
Unlikely, you'd have to know the the entire system inside-out to work it out.
Oh well.. ;D

Thanks for your answer
It might happen, I and really hope it does. But I don't have the skills to do it (yet), and I doubt anyone who does is interested.
The new sense would be great just for this feature:

Hey Guys,
I have a HTC Desire with an ICS Beta Build on.
I've been playing around with the framework-res.apk and have enabled the "Soft Keys". Althought they are not needed, I want the true ICS features!
However, the soft keys overlap the keyboard which would make the keyboard unusable. See first screen shot!
I have gone through the forum, and have changed the soft keys so they are smaller, but I now think they are a little to small, and would prefer if the keyboard could be moved up, or the "start of the screen" would be better (I have an app that cannot see the bottom of the screen, as i've added the soft keys (have to use my tackpad to move down to bottom option)).
I cannot see anything in the framework-res to move the screen up a bit which is what I would prefer... (that has worked)
I have also decompiled LatinIME.apk, and can see stuff in there in the "Fractions.xml", but what happens if you want to use another keyboard, will all keyboards need to be updated to ICS for them to work properly?
attached is my framework-res.apk, and if any Guru's can help, it would be much apprciated.
Thanks, Matt
PS. I have posted this in the Q+A forum, but no one has come back to me. I'm hoping themers might have a better idea about this (as they play around with framework a lot more!) Sorry if this is incorrect, please delete the thread if it is not acceptable.

Hey!
Can somebody make a theme for MIUI status bar like iPhones one (screenshot) ?
The point is to make it a little bit thinner than normal MIUI.
Note: I want it for MIUI Gingerbread 'cause it's easier than MIUI v4, but if you want it for MIUI v4 ...
Thanks!!
Every time i look at a picture of an iphone i want one so badly
Me too, but my phone looks now like an iPhone with MIUI + Ultimate iPhone theme.
Now I'm tryin to make it perfect
ugh. just go buy one.
If you pay for it then okay!
In Europe it's expensive my dear friend!
Try this psd, mate, not so hard but it need a lot of time with these resource you can rebuild the iphone theme for miui for best result

Don't even think that's possible unless you use a lower DPI.

i guess you can do it by editing systemui.apk's layout xml files manually
your gonna mess up alot of things by editing status bar to be thinner.
If you do it, the time will have to be changed to be smaller and fit, then it will have to be modded again so miui can change where it's location is. All this but for pretty much every notification you'll ever get. all the icons are going to have to be smaller than before, and it may not even fit on the status bar.
Just use a lower dpi, im on 200 and it looks really good.
Changing DPI, the icons remain at the same dimension and the labels are smaller and they come on the icons..

The battery and signal are a cluster. I'm not to fimiliar with MIUI but I'm guessing it follows the same principle. Only the battery text can be moved to the right on its own. I may be wrong but that's how it was when I was running CM7.

It looks absolutely awesome!!!!
Is it still a work in progress? or is it finished and the full thing is in a different thread?

you could use custom status bar + in the play store . I use it all the time
Hi everyone
As a bit of a neek when it comes to things like this, I am curious to find out if anyone has attempted to physically replace the LED's under the soft-touch buttons on the I9000? The white is so boring...so maybe it would be possible to remove the current LED's and replace with other colours? Unless the hardware is not accessible due to its positioning under the touchscreen...
If anyone has had a go at this then I'd love to know
Thanks
IG =]
If you are Slim, you can do that already.
System Settings - ASS - Navigation bar - Navigation bar color
For example, I matched to the theme's color.

I think it is, but...
I found this video of some guy taking the SGS apart, but it looks a bit tricky.
Looks like you have to strip it down completely before you can get to the LED's. However, I guess if you can get to them, then find some matching LED's of a different colour, swap them out, then successfully put it all back together, it should theoretically work

Hey wait! I was digging on ebay for spare parts and i found this:

Have a look at a few pictures! There are two holes just inside the touch sensors. The LEDS must be somwhere else not inside the screen assembly.

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!

I did a factory reset before and after installing JB, but I will try once more.
maybe it will help...

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.
