I'm using a stock-based ROM that was made using UCDLK3 firmware for the AT&T Galaxy S3. (Intergalactic II) Could someone make my statusbar (or notification bar, whatever you call it) look like the one in this picture?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
Go to the Play Store. Put a search in for Super Status Bar. You can make your status bar any color u want among many other features BUT I'm not sure about 50 percent transparency, like your pic shows.

Give it a shot though. Pretty cool app.

EDIT: Just tried it and I can make the status bar 100 percent transparent with the app. This is on Liquids AOSP 4.2. The app is universal tho so it'll work the same for TW ROMS.

Hmm.. this doesn't seem to be what I'm looking for exactly. It seems like it's an app to fully replace the status bar. Just to clarify, I am looking for a way to theme the default status bar, not replace it with a 3rd party app.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] David Dee:
Send me your systemui.apk, the percentage transparency you desire (and colour if applicable) and I will cook it up for you.

@David Dee:

I can't seem to get my status bar to be transparent. I can change it from black to whatever color I like, blue for example:

- Image

- Image

(Yeah, I've changed the battery icons, connection icons and notification center background with success)

I am changing the HEX colors for the status bar background in SystemUI/res/values/drawables.xml and some status bar and notification center related files in SystemUI/res/layout. The HEX color for full transparency should be #00000000 (AARRGGBB format).

When I use this color, the statusbar stays black (like it is default)...

What am I missing here...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mentose457:
Change line 2 in tw_super_status_bar.xml (found in ~/res/layout) to this:

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.StatusBarWindowView android:background="#[COLOR="Red"]00000000[/COLOR]"

Also change

The transparency of the status bar in tw_status_bar.xml ((found in ~/res/layout)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RockRatt:
I am not in front of a pc right now, but you could make 1 xml change so thst rather than a color it will use a .png status bar of any type. Basically (and I may have the path wrong right now) but fhange where the status bar xml is from #ff000000 or whatever it is to @drawable/status_bar_bg and then look in your systemui/xhdpi folder and you will see a status_bar_bg.png that you can make or change to anything/any color you want. If you cannot find it right away let ke know and I will type the exact path to it and what to change it to. Then once done you can use Morohology's different status bar backgrounds they have available or make your own VERY EASILY. I did this for my SGS2 and made a post with many themes. Status bars being one of them.

This will make it so you wont have to change the systemui xml again on the firmware. You can just flash a cwm zip each time with a different stats_bar_bg.png each time you want to change it.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mentose457:
If you properly decompiled the app with a tool like apktool. Then the systemui.apk you used is not deodexed. Look in your /system/app folder for a file called systemui.odex. If it is there you need to deodex it before you can so this mod.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Ether post your framwork(s) and Systemui.apk or let me know what rom you are using. I won't be able to get to it for about 12 hours though.

It is the exact same process as for touchpiss. Though I don't understand why anyone would want to modify the rom when they could simply download a theme. IMO that is one of the biggest draws to CM. With that said, if you still want someone to do it I would be willing. It won't be for about 12 hours because I'm working. It would also be nice if you uploaded your systemui.apk and framework-res.apk so I don't have to download the whole rom.

Has anyone tried using the GN2 with a Smart Dock in combination with an Atrix Lapdock?

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] g2tegg:
You will need a micro hdmi adapter. It will and can work, but it will simply mirror the display of your phone.

I've seen the same question asked on the S3 forums. People have even hooked up PS3's to their lapdocks.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] OwenW71:
Yes, some sort of adapter would be needed to connect the HDMI from the Smart Dock to the Lapdock. The keyboard and trackpad should work, though, so it will do more than mirror the display, I believe.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] IamPro:
Anyone able to make lapdock work with Note 2?

Also any idea where I could pick a Atrix Lapdock up?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Souai:
uhhh, dont see why the keyboard and trackpad would work from a hdmi connection alone. you'd need to connect the usb as well to enable input. then it just mirrors the display and lets you use keyboard and trackpad.

it wont give you the full atrix lapdock software suite as that was installed on the atrix itself, not on the dock.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nipuna:
Keyboard and track pad should work since smartdock uses 11 pin to use both HDMI and USB OTG. Has any one tried?

If we could somehow hack the power, by patching the microUSB out of lapdock, we could potentially have a stand alone laptop. Any ideas? do any experts think it is feasible?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ttabbal:
It should work fine, but I don't own one to test with. The basic idea is to build/buy adapters to connect things up with. If you have a SmartDock, that will get the phone side handled. Do a google for people using the lapdock with Raspberry Pi boards. They have all the details for interfacing to it. I think they even power the Pi with the battery in the lapdock, so you could charge your phone with it if the SmartDock allows for that, which I think it does. At the end of the day, the lapdock is a pretty "dumb" device, it takes standard inputs like HDMI/USB, and doesn't seem to have anything to restrict it to working only with the Atrix.

Alright, so I was running MIUI on my phone, and I decided to check out some other roms. I flashed the All Stars rom, wasn't too fond of it, then I flashed CM10. After flashing CM10, the default android keyboard kept crashing (it would continually pop up saying it has stopped every few seconds or so.) Also, my when I unlock my phone, there is no lock screen. Thirdly, my home button, well, doesn't do anything when I push it.

I'm really not sure what to do at this point, I flashed AOKP and the problems still persist. Any ideas on what I could do? Thanks.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] merrygocow:

If CWM 5.0.2.7 is still not working for you, update to CWM 6.0.x.x or even better try flashing and using the latst TWRP recovery system.

Make sure you do the proper data/cache wipes before flashing the ROM again. Also, flashing the proper Gapps file for the specific ROM may help you fix the issue you are having with the home button and possibly the application issues you are having.

Actually, it's 6.0.2.7, I either mistyped or misread it, my bad. Going to try TWRP tomorrow, thanks for the help and will post updates.

I had an ipad smart cover laying around from an ipad 2 so I cracked the cover open to take out the magnets. Not as easy as it seems with just a pocket knife. One of then cracked into 3rds so i took one piece, found where the on screen magnet is and then traced out that area on teh asus cover, then used a knife to dig a spot that size about as deep as the magnet to make it fit. I am using tape right now to hold it but plan to use a dab of model glue when I get some.

It works perfect and closes flat. Bit ghetto I know, but heck better then paying for a whole new case when I got mine free.

there is one MAJOR flaw with that logic.....The fact is that there are 2 ways to destroy a magnet 1)heat and 2)shock. So if you attempt to melt the magnet all you will have is a puddle of molten metal. Quick lesson, magnets work when all the molecules are lined up in one direction. If those lines are disrupted then it will no longer be magnetic .

[Nexus 7 Accessories] Aleemz:
Thanks knitler, thats exactly what I meant. Heat the magnet and press into the cover so it melts the cover with the aim of getting the magnet to sit as flush as possible.

Heating a magnet can alter it's magnetic properties, but the magnetic domains are only destroyed if the magnet is heated past it's Curie temperature. Remember, magnets are used in many high temperature environments - environments which are hot enough to melt plastic, but not destroy the magnetic domains ;)

Anyway, I managed to get hold of some 9.5mm x 0.75mm neodymium magnets with a 3M adhesive on one side. Works a treat :D
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bsoplinger:
Nice but it seems like the magnet will touch the screen. Can't that scratch it or even worse make it more likely that a blow to the cover will break it?

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Xparent Purple Tapatalk 2
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Aleemz:
The magnet is very smooth, with rounded edges. I don't think it will scratch, but I'm going to mod this further. I have a vinyl/plastic/leather repair kit that's used to carry out repairs to upholstery etc. It comes with various coloured pastes that can be mixed to achieve an almost perfect colour match. I'm going to try to cover the magnet with some of this stuff once I achieve a good colour match.

I think the case would have to receive quite a hard blow for it to crack the screen, which I'm sure could happen with or without the magnet. The magnet is quite thin and I might even look to embed it into the cover like the OP did with his.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] Aleemz:
Just a quick update on my little mod. I've been using it for a few days now, and the smart feature has been working fine. When the cover is in the open position, it will turn the tablet off if I squeeze the cover with my fingers in the position of the magnet. However, if I hold it normally, the 'hinge' of the cover has enough tension to keep the cover from folding flat on itself, and the tablet stays awake.

If this becomes an issue as the hinge becomes more flexible, I could use a weaker magnet, or embed something in the plastic cover behind the magnet to act as a shield.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bsoplinger:
Looks completely professional. Did you find some sort of sticky plastic tape disc to cover it?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Aleemz:
Thanks, I just used some insulating/electrical tape and cut it in a circle with scissors. I didn't know whether it would stick properly so just used black tape as that's all I had.

Now I know it will stay, I'll get some grey coloured tape that matches the cover better. This should look neater than the original idea of covering the magnet with some liquid plastic type material.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] JGuinan007:
n35,n42, or n52?

Just a quick question, wanted to know what strength magnet to use? n35-n52 are the strengths I found with n42 being the most widely used and the most choice in size and shape. Any one have any idea? I don't want it to be too weak that it doesn't always work or too strong that it turns off the screen when the cover is folded over.

Also I found a great temp to heat the magnet to melt it into the plastic. Rare Earth magnets have a high resistance to demagnetization, unlike most other types of magnets. They will not lose their magnetization around other magnets or if dropped. They will however, begin to lose strength if they are heated above their maximum operating temperature, which is 176°F (80°C) for standard N grades. They will completely lose their magnetization if heated above their Curie temperature, which is 590°F (310°C) for standard N grades. So I plan on getting a 1/2" dia. x 1/32" thick dics and heat my magnet to 175 F and melt it into the cover til flush and cover with tape or plastic dip. Just need info on the strength of the magnet.:confused:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Aleemz:
The magnet I used is N35, and is slightly too strong. If I grip the bottom of the case around where the magnet is, when folded back in the open position, it does turn the screen off. If I grip the case further up, it doesn't turn the screen off.

Let us know how you get on!
