hey js. guess what's in the newest cm7 nightly (51). check it out. that might be what you've been aiming for.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Screen shot? Come out and say it? I don't intend on downloading an entire rom just to see something, lol.

But, for fun, I went the code hacking route (which I'm guess, based on your post, coded something similar), and got it working very nicely.

Problem is, going this route, causes everyone to have go redo all their stuff if they want to use, which I'm not a fan of...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dkdude36:
hah yea sorry. there's one in the thread. here's snake-driver's screenie of it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] cbrown245:
That is AWESOME as always , and like many others Im wanting to use this when your done ..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] _Burst_:
Hey J, in this mod of yours, does this* get taken out as well?

*See attached (red arrow)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Yessir.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
As mentioned previously, I figured I'd see just what it might take to move the 'clear' button to becomes part of the 'Notification's title bar, by way of XML mods in conjunction with edits to services.jar.

Wanted to show you guys the end result of my work via a quick video demonstration, as I think it shows better than just screen shots. Sorry for the abrupt ending of the video, just cut out a lot of random babbling :p.

[YOUTUBE]titfrKltQSk[/YOUTUBE]

Even though it requires a framework edit, I think the end result is worth it...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] breezer260:
That looks absolutely awesome can't wait to try out it!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TMartin:
Wow....looks great! Can't wait to try it out.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] coiledwire:
Awesome proof-of-concept! Subscribed!

Will this entire mod be easily portable to other roms/themes? I'm using a uniquely modified services.jar and framework-res.apk, so just inquiring about that.

I'm thankful we still have you working on the evo with your modding addiction. :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Thanks.

Honestly, part of the reason why I have not released it yet is for this very fact. I have it heavily integrated into my own customizations, and I've yet to wrap my arms around how to release this and in what form.

What I think I will do is grab a framework-res and services.jar that have all of my other mods applied to them, but stock in appearance, and apply this`mod as well, so that others can take it and run, but this can be problematic, as my framework-res has other mods to it as well that this has been applied on top of (100 increment battery, animated sync, custom lock screen backgrounds, etc), that if I don't use as a base, affects newly added resource id values, etc, that have to be added to support this mod. It's a bit of a quandary.

And, on the services.jar side, there are many edits, so whatever you are running now, would have to be re-applied to it if not already incorporated. But, honestly, I can't think of too many services.jar mods out there that aren't already in the version I am I running.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Skullmonkey:
Are you using 2.3 Gingerbread? I saw the clock flip and saw power control widgets and now I'm all excited!

Anyways, I think that looks A LOT better then the stock notification bar with that giant banner on top. Even though mine is modded from "Sprint", it is still taking up valuable space.

Also, if you need a test subject, I'll be happy to help.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chefdave12118:
I don't have speakers on my pc so i couldn't hear your youtube video and what I'm about to say may not be what you're looking for at all but...... On CM7 you can actually swipe your notifications left or right to get rid of them. I ran a ROM a few months ago that didn't have a clear button at all and I had to ask someone how to clear my notifications. Now that's pretty much how i clear my notifications if I want to keep some. JS you are brilliant at this stuff and I'm probably saying something you already know...... If that' the case.... my bad lol. Also I don't know if this is possible on sense based roms

Off topic: I'm on my way to pick up a nook color for $100.00 from craigslist and can't f#@%ing wait !
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] oOflyeyesOo:
What are you running? CM7? Id love to use your theme also, maybe you could package your whole theme and all the mods? They all look amazing from what I can see.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
No, this is still based on 3.70 Froyo, as I'm waiting on a final for GB until I begin modding for it.

Yes, I did see this for CM Roms, for clearing the notifications. My personal opinion is it makes more sense to relocate the clear button, if you can do it "eloquently" rather than remove it all together. Not to say the two couldn't potentially work in conjunction with one another though...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chefdave12118:
Gotchya! I'm a dopey Executive Chef and was hoping I was telling you something profound. :rolleyes::rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gomorrah:
The mod that chefdave is talking about was a theme that he flashed that removed the Clear button. The solution that the CM team actually implements is to relocate the Clear button when you minimize your carrier label, not remove it. Of course still retaining the swipe to dismiss feature. Thats the only mod as of right now CM has that involves the Clear button. Example:

There is another guy named rori that has a Morph to relocate your Clear button for CM. Here is his thread:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=814890. He employs a solution very similar to your JS.

Hi John. :) Awesome work as usual. Im gonna slap this into my Sense backup when you release it. Thanks again as always.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chefdave12118:
Now that looks tight! :eek::eek: What theme is that btw? I thought I tried every cm7 theme there was. :confused::confused:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chefdave12118:
You've forgotten more about android then I know, and I know quite a bit. Your **** is always awesome!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Ah, cool. The good news is, I like my implementation of the relocated 'clear' button much better :p.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] coiledwire:
@ JsChiSurf.

You're right, services.jar will be easier to make the other small mods in top of the one you will provide here.

The framework does seems to be difficult to provide something "general" to the end user. Once this mod is applied to the existing roms, everyone would use that as a framework-res base for future mods; so this first step is the difficult one. Would it be possible to supply a word file that lists the required edits to framework-res? Just throwing an idea out there.

Thanks!

Sent on the go, from my evo.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] flight01:
Wow can not wait for this, as soon as this comes out i'm leaving cm7 and coming back to sense.

@JsChisurf

For whatever my opinion is worth I think u should use the framework from your vanilla locks mod as a base, cuz it has all your other mods included. And the services.jar from the toggle clock/am/pm mod, cuz it seems to have alot if not all mods from your other mods included ( this may require u to include your modded settings apk but that should be fine, all sense themers pretty much use the clock mod anyway).

Pretty much all themers use your mods as a base for their themes so if u post this notification mod with a base that includes all your other mods(notification power controls,vanilla locks and toggle clock on off) U will save themers alot of time, adding all your other mods back in.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rawdikrik:
I havent read the whole thread (i know, i hate it when someone starts a response like that) but as someone who designs UI's, i dont think its a good idea to have the clear button in between 2 other "clickable" sections.

It is better to have it on the bottom near the swipe bar, so it is easily reached with the thumb and dont risk hitting another notification and being taken out of the bar.

But it is a great idea and i do want to see it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] myn:
I've said this 4 times now.. You are the modder of all modders!

Wicked work on that. Congrats on figuring out how to embed the button inside that layout.

I think that is the most usable experience :)

Thanks again for sharing.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
I take it you haven't watched the video demo either?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Thanks sir. You guys are pressuring me to get this dang thing out sooner than later, otherwise, I'm gonna feel guilty having it all to myself :D.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gotshores:
video looks sweet JS. btw, what theme are you using? it looks great.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
I don't really run any themes, I just mod my phone to make it look the way I want. Clearly, I personally like blue...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rawdikrik:
Haha.. No. I was at work earlier and playing around on XDA, but im at home now and give it more time.

Your work is incredible. You are really talented and i appreciate what you are thinking.

I did finally see the video and it is pretty great, though id still worry about hitting one of the notifications instead of the clear all button. I guess i'll have to try it out and see how it feels, though functionally i still think a large button on the bottom would be better.

Im just being nitpicky though. Im sure that this will work great, and that there is NO WAY i could do any better.

Edit: Another reason im thinking a nice large bar at the bottom would be better, would be for lefties. Seems that the right centric button would be a pain for lefties to reach over. Again... This is what i do... Sorry if I'm being a pain.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
No pain, appreciate the feedback.

The good news is, a bar at the bottom is much easier to do than what I've done. The clear button to the right is similar in concept to the default, just moved down, in my opinion, to a more proper location if you think about it, since by placing it in the 'Notifications' title bar, it is implicit as to what you are clearing.

Either way, there's nothing to say that a few different versions can't exist with placement in different locations as well.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rawdikrik:
I was actually thinking that a button at the bottom would be easier to implement. One of the reasons it was on my mind to begin with. Should be easier to port to other devices/screen sizes/DPI settings too.

I agree, that conceptually it makes more sense (hehe) to have it in the notification bar, but hey... it doesnt come like that from HTC and we all understood it.

I appreciate the honesty and good nature. I like the way you work. I wish i was loaded... Id definitely hire you for something.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mecampo:
this is an awesome idea and very well use of screen resource there is no need for a sprint/provider name in there :)

thanks JsChiSurf
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] moseso:
I don't really want to rain on the parade, Js, but I see this as a fix in search of a problem.

1) I've never run out of room on my notifications window, as is.

2) You, yourself, taught me how to put my name, instead of Sprint's, in the header bar -- and I like it -- don't want to get rid of it.

But lots of people do seem to want this, so, code on!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
I'm not trying to fix a problem, I'm trying to enhance a view, if you will. That is, eliminate the presence, unnecessarily, of the carrier banner all together. We all know who our provider is, know what I mean.

It's just a matter of visual preference, and since I like it gone, well then, I'm gonna work on it ;).

Also, don't forget, when viewing the mod, that the most significant aspect and most difficult to pull off isn't even related to the removal of the carrier bar and movement of the 'clear' button, but rather, the full inversion of the various notifications that appear.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Skitzi:
Thought I would share my current Clear Button and notification mod:

Yes, it is animated:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Nice. Similar in concept to the original button bar example in the OP, but I see the 'Notification' title bar has been removed all together.

I'm actually really liking the current iteration I've got going that required some .smali hacks for dropping the button within the 'Notifications' titlebar. I think, once I get this dang thing released (just haven't had much free time lately), most are going to like it there as well.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Skitzi:
I am a fan of what you did with the button, I like that a lot. I did a .smali edit to allow setting a custom background for the button and then added the images and xml for the animated button. I'm not sure I am completely happy with what I have yet. The images are easy enough to change, but I'm not sure I like the functionality of the layout.

As always, your work looks awesome!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
John, sometimes I click on your name just to see what cool things you're working on. I really like this idea and where you've put the clear button. You're definitely the master at smali and as myn said, the modder of all modders. I'll be keeping my eye on this for sure. I can't think of a Rom that doesn't use one of your stuff. Great job sir. Thanks for aiming your hacking addictions towards the evo sometimes.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rujelus22:
I did something like this a little bit ago. I however did not want to remove the carrier bar. and I placed my clear bar at the bottom of the notifications not the top.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
The version I have now, per the video, has moved the clear button into the title bar. This is the real trick, rather than just re-arranging xml, but affecting .smali code to make it happen. At least that's the best way I know/see to do so.

It's also important to note, at least for Sense based ROMs, that some serious surgery is required in the java code to invert the content / appearance, which for me was the main driver for the mod.

Sorry for the delay everyone, I just haven't had time to undo all my own stuff, to make a stock version for release. Hopefully this week sometime.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rujelus22:
Yeah I only use CM now so the Sense part I did not care about and I put it at the bottom for myself because I found that I would clear notifications and forget to scroll to the bottom to make sure I look at everything.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chogardjr:
I'm still in the middle of a lot of things of my own. Now that we have the official I'm going to make the system UI as an add on for GB. For those who want something now this was done for MikG sense v2.1 and there are many versions out but I have a theme for each one. The most current releases consist of a full theme so drop over to themikmik.com if your impatient for this and get some MikG with a little chogardjr theme.

i'm using a mumbi Silicon Case, looks not even half as good. :mad:
[Desire HD Accessories] ace9988:
make no mistake a silicone case will protect it much better than this, but it makes the phone look bulky than it already is...as if it needed extra thickness (+ i got insurance so if it breaks i'm not worried)

Nice Skin dude :D
[Desire HD Accessories] Cbxu:
I myself use gelaskin; I wanted a custom design and I only wanted the back to look different, and a clean front so people can see its a HTC :P. but since i have no insurance i do use a transparent TPU case over it :P. I am content with the gelaskin so far :D.
[Desire HD Accessories] ace9988:
you can get hold of custom designs from diabloskinz. + where does it say htc on the front =p

the front is what i wanted coz of the matching wallpaper + its cheaper than gelaskin

Two questions though, don't you use a back case? If do, what kind of case do you use? Because I have applied Gelaskin and want to add some extra protection to it, without hiding the skin.
[Desire HD Accessories] bobbybow:
That was amazing !!!!
[Desire HD Accessories] ace9988:
i actually don't use a case at all, its just the 3m skin stuck on there and thats it, i left it as it is. I'm getting a new one once i finish rendering my design. pics soon :D
[Desire HD Accessories] drpsyko:
I thought so too. But I'm just being paranoid from the last accident where my DHD fall about just 30cm onto hard, solid (and unluckily sharp) rock that make a damn good scar on the skin (luckily it hit back side first). :eek:

Now I'm gonna replace my current gelakin with diabloskinz you've been using with extra protection in mind. Crystal clear plastic case maybe? :confused:
[Desire HD Accessories] ace9988:
they get scratched and get dusty in really odd places...it really gets on my nerves.
