[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zinfinion:
I think the optimal solution would be some sort of system wide gesture or a soft button in the nav bar to bring the status bar down over whatever is is currently displayed.

As to what you want, check out Paranoid Android.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Award Tour:
Haven't seen that yet. My guess is that it would require a app restart upon orientation change which would suck.

I've been using the Parandroid Rom on my Galaxy Nexus and love it. Also running the patch over in Development that allows the N7 to run in Tablet without changing the DPI settings.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frenetic:
I can't stand the phone style UI myself. I need the tablet UI. It works on a phone because the screen is smaller but there's no reason for it on a bigger screen. I had the Nook Color and that was my first tablet, back before Honeycomb and the tablet UI became integrated into the OS. The mods that were done on CM7 on that thing sort of laid the groundwork and showed that a modified, combined status bar and navigation bar were needed if you didn't have physical buttons.

The UI on there combined soft keys onto the notification bar and it just made sense. The same could work on the Nexus 7, if you had a combined portrait notification bar, it could be at the top of the screen like normal but have soft keys on the left side. I think on the Nook Color, they put the notification bar at the bottom, so it really did set us up for the HC/ICS/JB UI...

There's probably an app that does this, sort of like Button Savior or something...

(found this on GIS from an XDA member, this isn't from my Nook, but it's the UI the Nook Color w/ CM7 had)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
I'm running the EOS rom with its stock DPI Tablet mode and I love it. Its not super small like when lowering the DPI and everything works like the market and looks very nice.

I'm waiting for other devs to pick up the feature... however they do it.

Tablet UI all the way. Portrait and Landscape... its much better equipped for anything over 5". Plus that notification pull down is atrocious. Why isn't it full screen?!

Here's mine on EOS rom:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edgex:
There is an app in the market that let's you show the notification bar in full screen apps by long pressing / dragging down from the top. Very useful when you get a text while in netflix or something. I think this sounds like it would mostly solve your issue.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebobp:
Tried tablet UI, couldn't stand it. I favor my right hand, and the tablet UI places the back button on the far, far left. Unacceptable waste of movement.

The only viable option, to me, is something along the lines of rob43's Salad Bar II. I think it also satisfies the OP's requirements. But, I think he's too poor to afford a N7 right now, so who knows when it'll be ported LOL.

I heard that 4G will be being released in the UK soon, and the networks have had to 'bid' for it. Is this true or am I going mental?
[Networking] Step666:
The networks will have to bid for licences, yes.

That's how it worked with 3G as well.

As for it being 'soon', I wouldn't say that - the latest comments from Ofcom suggest that the auction won't take place until around the end of this year and that LTE won;t actually be available to customers until next summer.

Hello guys,

There was a post on a developers section that has opened my mind to an interesting wondering.

That guy asked if it's possible to run Windows8 (not a WindowsPhone 8) on our galaxy i9000.

I'm sure that most of xda users here know about HTC HD2's capability to run many operating system like WindowsPhone 7and all the android versions, and since i9000 is a very powerful device why wouldn't it be capable of running Windows Phone 7 or 8 in the future..

i was originally s-off with the rev method and i followed blues how to on how to return to s-on then i updated all the way to the newest ota.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] eparico:
Thanks for this guide, there are a lot of threads explaining how to do this but they were all over the place. Until last night, I was S-ON, unlocked but I decided to brave the wire trick and after about a million attempts, am now S-Off. I used this page as my reference starting point throughout since I had to go back to stock. Much appreciated!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pantheis:
I was going to unlock my device and get Clockworkmod installed, but hold off on anything else for the time being. When I went to HTC's website to obtain the unlock file, they indicated that unlocking the device would also wipe it clean. Is this the case or can you use the HTC Unlock and retain all of the current data on your device?

I was hoping to get CWM installed and then do a full backup of everything on my device as it currently stands before starting to play around with any custom roms.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jjbz:
HTCDev factory resets your phone no matter what. You need to do it in order to get CWM on your phone.

If you absolutely need to backup stuff that isn't on your SD card, look into finding an app that can do a backup without root (i.e My Backup). I can't personally recommend one because I've never used one.

Once you're rooted, you can use CWM and a good backup app like Titanium Backup (paid version is definitely worth it).
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pantheis:
Alright, I figured that was going to be the case but I was hopeful that maybe I was wrong. :)

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
had to thank you for this well written/up to date guide

things went smooth until the wire trick, tried like 5 times and kept sober!

funny thing in the warning it said may fry sd card, so hell i had an old 128mb sd

from like 8 years ago that i have no problem throwing away. guess i need to use a

bigger card! swapped to a 4gb class 2 (next worse card i own)

worked perfect the first time! maybe add a note with the smallest amount of space

required on card (almost 100% certain the card was to blame as i didnt do anything different)

thanks again for the tut, and thanks to the unlimited.IO team, Fuses and hyuh, WeekendsR2Short and whomever else helped!

*side note, flash crashed at the very moment the phone rebooted after the successful wire trick... strange
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jjbz:
I'm glad the guide helped you get root and JB S-OFF. As for the minimum SD card size, I'm not sure why your 128mb card didn't work for the wire trick.

It probably has more to do with the way a card is partitioned (FAT32, NTFS, etc.) rather than size. I'll add a note about the SD card partition to the guide for anyone else that may encounter the same issue.

Now that you're S-OFF, enjoy flashing all the awesome ROMs from the Dev section!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
thanks! its fat32 just like all my cards... i noticed running controlbear.exe after the backup was made it put something on the card (beer?) but i never checked to see how much space that took. my guess is whatever it was using the sdcard for needed more than 128mb of space. either way i doubt many people even have a card that small so probably will never come up again.

forgot to mentioned i stripped an old coaxial cable and used about a one foot length of it to perform the "wire trick" the guide doesnt specify too much of the gauge or length but mentioned this. it worked great!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Archangel22:
Im stuck on step 5. Ive done everything up to that part. When I follow the link in the first topic the link is dead, it will not download Clockwork mod 5.2 for the mytouch. So I googled it, I downloaded the app off another link and when I type in the command prompt command listed in the first page it says command not recognized
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] eparico:

Scroll down to the 4G Slide and click on the 5.0.2.7 link. I was prompted to download the recovery right away. You don't necessarily need 5.2. I've been using 5.0.2.7 for as long as I can remember without any problems.

Yes thats where I got it from, I went to that link an selected mytouch 4g slide and I get a popup for another page with the download button greyed out. But Im at work Im wondering if the proxy has disabled it. But its odd I downloaded every other app required for steps 1-4 from work no probs so not sure why it wont let me download it from that rom manager link. Ill try again at home I guess and hope it works

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Archangel22:
Great thanks for that, it worked, Im creating a backup now before I load the rom. Question but, in the first page it says if i am s on or s off. I have s on so I have to do an extra step to make it s off after the rom is loaded. Do I need s off? What does it do?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
well lots, true radio s-off means the security flags are removed allowing you to easily flash any software/firmware you want, signed or unsigned. of course this would mean it would allow you to do damage as well (rare circumstances and you have to either make grievous errors or be, well stupid) but really only when talking about flashing radios and spls.

but one of the most notable benefits will be the ease of flashing new roms that you get with s-off, no extracting kernel and flashing it with fastboot after flashing rom from recovery.

so in short, yes its good, no it not needed but will give you full access to your phone and make life easier in the long run
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MT4GS:
Thank you for this guide.

I already had my MT4GS unlocked, but now I have just follow it to root it and it all worked.

How do I root this device? I thought I rooted the device and I am using Battery Calibration app to help out my battery because it seems like it works well for rooted phones. Anyway I followed step6 in this thread, I downloaded the superuser zip and installed it. But each time I run the Battery calibration app it says that my device is not rooted. It wont let me run it. I didnt follow step 7 to get S Off because the app doesnt need S Off just that it is rooted. Do I have to install the superuser zip file after I install the custom rom on my phone? Because Ive been using this rom for awhile now and never bothered rooting my phone all the way through because everything loaded fine I thought I didnt need too
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
WOW! Not trying to be mean at all but you're IN probably the best thread I've seen on the subject. You really should read 3 or 4 pages into the thread too to have more of your questions answered. You miss SO much if you don't read. Also, be sure & follow this guide to the tee....in sequence. It's not as simple as picking the step you like. We'll all be glad to help you but you have do your part too. If there's something in particular about the process you don't understand, just ask.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Archangel22:
No thats just it, Ive followed through with the steps. I may not be the techiest person for mobile phones and this is my first phone Ive installed a rom on and its confusing alot but Ive followed the first 6 steps, Im not doing step 7 to make my phone S Off because Im not super confident with the wire trick and I dont want to wreck my phone plus the battery app says it doesnt matter if its S off or S on as long as its rooted and step 6 says they are the steps to root.

Basically I installed the htc drivers, done the command, the recovery tool all of it. I loaded the CM 9 r8 rom which works fine, but yeh Ive done step 6 installed superuser to root and it it says it installed just fine and the icon is listed in my phone but the battery calibration app wont recognise it as rooted. i dont know what else I am missing to root my phone

-1. INSTALL HTC DRIVERS ON YOUR PC.-

Checked

-2. INSTALL ADB AND FASTBOOT ON YOUR PC.-

Checked

-3. REGISTER AT HTC DEV.-

Checked

-4. UNLOCK BOOTLOADER THROUGH HTC DEV.-

Checked it does say its unlocked

-5. INSTALL A CUSTOM RECOVERY.-

Checked I installed CM 9

-6. ROOT YOUR DEVICE.-

Checked the superuser zip says its installed

So by going through them steps my phone should be rooted right? Im stumped, I even did this with my friend who rooted his phone and he confirms the above are done
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
Don't add superuser if you already have a custom ROM, that cm9 is rooted already, reflash rom , that's it, you're done
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
Sorry then. It sounded like you jumped into the middle of it. LOL Well, if you follow demkantor's directions you'll be great. If you have trouble getting a solid flash going, just follow This Guide and you'll be good. Also, always remember to flash the Boot.img LAST.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jjbz:
Ditto what demkantor said. CM9 comes pre-rooted, so no need to install Superuser again. Also, you may have pressed the "Deny" button by accident when Superuser popped up in the Battery Calibration app and asked whether or not you wanted to grant root access. Try going into the Superuser app and clearing that default setting. If all else fails, update the Superuser app and binary within the actual app.

I've always had issues using the PG59IMG files while S-ON. Therefore, the only advice I can give is to attain S-OFF. I've never had issues after being S-OFF.

A few notes: ensure that the PG59IMG file you downloaded matches your current HBOOT version. Also, try relocking bootloader with "fastboot oem lock" or unlocking the bootloader with the key from HTC Dev and experiment with what happens with the PG59IMG in both scenarios. I would test, but my father and sister have both of my Doubleshots and are thousands of miles away :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Archangel22:
Ok I didnt know CM9 was rooted already still weird why Battery calibration says its not rooted. Well I cleared the data for superuser, updated it, uninstalled battery calibration and reinstalled it still says its not rooted. Lastnight I had 55% battery left when I went to bed, I locked my phone so it was in sleep/hibernation I woke up in the morning to goto work it was down to 14%. No idea how it was all lost. Since the above steps dont work I might reload the rom and flash again. But before I do that I noticed in Recovery mode there is an option that says remote battery stats. Should I try this first before flashing?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Wiping battery stats is useless. Use better battery stats to see what's keeping it going. But in general the ds gets horrible battery life
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Yeah... Why is that? I mean we don't have a huge, battery sucking screen, and we have a decent battery (if u use the ankers)

Why do we struggle to get over 3 hours screen on time? My buddies atrix gets 4.5 hours OC to 1.7 ghz and ours could never..

iPacman
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
I have no idea, I have ankers and sometimes on ICS I can squeeze up to 5 hours screen on time just using all the default settings. But I don't use voice calls at all so this is basically my tablet. Because I don't use voice calls ever I shut my service down and bounce between all 3 of my broken in one way shape or from HTC sliders.

Doubleshot= shattered digitizer

EVO Shift= bad flex cable & earpiece HTC G2= no freaking clue why it drains 2-3% battery per minute of screen on.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
This is per Post #1 of this thread.....

Confused about S-ON vs S-OFF? S-ON, Revolutionary S-OFF, and JuopunutBear S-OFF are described in detail here. Do make SURE you have read it. BUT....even more important make EXTRA SURE you have the right phone paired with the right method. That's an Hboot designation that I have never seen before. The ones for the MT4Gs are all in the 1.44.XXXX or 1.45.XXXX format.

Sorry I got the wrong info it was the one described in this thread it works and running cm9 ... thanks for the help :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Unrelashade:
I think the guide is missing something, because I just reverted my phone back to stock (but it's still S-off) and the second line in hboot doesn't show the hboot version. It's actually the first line. [edit: it does after applying the htc updates (maybe multiple)]

Also, step 5 didn't work. I got an error, here is what happened:
