[THEME/UI][TUTORIAL][VIDEO ADDED!] DropUI | A minimal UI (updated: 15th Sept)

*Click image for high res. version.​
It has been a while since I made a real homescreen, I had been using Windows Phone for a while before I got my Galaxy S3. You guys have no idea how suffocating those tiles were (But I still love the MetroUI).
So, I call this setup DropUI cause of the raindrops in it. I have this strange fascination about them, they calm me down. You might notice the edges have black spots, they're there so that the screen looks rounded too. Inside the screen is another layer (or I call it a base). The base has the nav, the dock and the folders. I had to include the dock inside the wallpaper and then use blank icons on my launcher cause 7x10 grid was a pain to work with.
I had seen many setups before I created this, the best and the most unique ones used SweeterHome which is a beta launcher and is clunky. I believe in functionality over looks so I chose one of the best launchers out there, Apex Launcher. (You can use GoLauncher too but Apex has some nice gesture controls.) I made most of it, I had to mash up two icon sets and add in some effects to them. (resources are listed below). Unlike most of the complex setups which make it really hard to change wallpapers, each of my homescreen changes its wallpaper automatically. I had to make couple of wallpaper variations but same wallpapers get boring after a while. The folders are made up of Simi Folder widget and the text is made up of Minimalistic Text.

I have attached my wallpapers and fonts used. Refer the the deviant Art page for widgets used. I have a bit of work to do today so tutorial will take about 2-3days. But youre free to have a go at it.

Thanks for the files. I will give a try.

[APP] Galaxy Screen burn-in\ghosting diagnose and repair utility

Hi All,
I've written a small utility that will help you diagnose and repair screen burn-in issues on your Galaxy Nexus.
You can download the App from here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bengigi.screen.diagnostic
The diagnose mode shows a full screen white color, with minimal brightness so you can check if you have screen burn-in issues.
The repair mode displays a full screen inverted color of the Galaxy Nexus buttons and top bars.
Let me know what you think and if you have any ideas\comments about the App and how it can be improved.
Thanks!
Changes
-------------
Version 1.1:
- Added support for custom images by taking a screen shot

Never had burn in issues but if this works, this will be huge.

My nexus is almost a year old, so that maybe the reason.
Here's how the burn-in looks like on my device:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

wowa! This really works!!
1 minute of doing this and the burn in is gone

Seems great. Looks like I haven't suffered any burn in, but if I did this utility wouldn't help me as I don't use the stock soft key images, and this will only display an invert of those images.

If i understand correctly, this doesnt really repair. It simply burn reverse color so it come to a balance ?

Does this work customized navbars that have different width and perhaps more buttons?

No, the inverted image I'm using is based on the stock rom navbars, but I can modify it to support other navbars, but I'll need a screen shot of the for that.

Maybe you can modify this so it can repair all kinds of navbar heights and buttons! I know this is a lot of work, so you can turn this into a paid app. Anyhow, thank you for this app!

Thanks for the app. I'll put it in work for few hours.

Awsome work! Finally no ugly burn in when toggling off the nav bar buttons. Great!

An idea would be to incorporate a screenshot option, and then invert that within the app.

That is a good idea, I'll try to see if I can implement it, not sure how to take a full screen shot programmatically.
If anyone knows how, please let me know

Is this meant for the nav bar or overall burn in? We have a phone on display with the words "sprint" burned in the middle of the screen lol.

my screen has a huge burn-in/ghosting , i can see my keyboard :|

Post your (T-Mo GS4) software pet peeves

We all have them - and it will help ROM devs to know what "the people" want to be changed.
Mine include the clutter in the notification bar, particularly the WiFi Calling item, and the "suggested activities" on plugging in headphones. I'll let you guess which I've already removed.
e: If it's a major missing feature like real lock screen widgets or photo sphere, it probably doesn't belong in this thread, nor does hardware items.

You know you can now hide the wifi calling by long pressing on it in the notification bar, going to app info, and clicking to turn off notifications? It removes the icon and keeps your wifi calling intact.

Widgets. Battery drains I never use.
Stock Samsung colors.
Non-inverted apps.

How about PhotoSphere? I heard it's not on the S4, even though it has 4.2.2.

That's The Way It Is for now. I should clarify, this thread is for annoying "features" or outright bugs, not missing ones.

On my s2 on 4.1.2 you can go to accessory and scroll to bottom and see audio applications just unchecked that and when you plug in headphones its gone not sure if its still the same on s4 but j would imagine so

No Power Save Mode on Verizon HTC One?

I thought I read in one of the releases that the power save option was coming, but not on the handset now.
Found it, from the Engadget livestream of the HTC event

The M8 also has a power saver mode for regular use. "You'll be surprised how long your battery lasts." Shortly after launch, there will be an extreme power saver mode, which looks like it's a simplified menu of options.

Thanks, that did sound familiar. I hope it comes with a normal power saving mode as well, but I'm sure third party apps or custom roms will help for that in the future.

What is the internal storage you got with your one? Is 32gb the base for Verizon? How much is actually available? Thanks!

I'm most curious about the unlock/root capabilities. I have to have root access or the handset is not useful to me.

Is it true there is no LED notifications?

No, there is an LED behind the top grill. (Mine's flashing right now). There is a powersave mode, but there will be an "extreme" powersave mode available as an update a little later on, Jason reported at today's roll out.
In an answer to an earlier question, my internal memory shows 8.92gb used of the 32g with only built-in apps updated, and nothing except Helium installed.

Have you used GPS yet? Read an early review from engadget and they claim the GPS is buggy. Notice anything like that?
Also curious what your battery life will be like in a few days with LTE?
Thanks for the info!

It's not there cause the US models aren't running the latest software in comparison to the international one:

I've done a bit of changing things, so if I've already forgotten what's stock and what's modded, I thought in settings --> power there's a checkbox for powersave (*not* extreme powersave). It's possible I saw something here on xda that talked about a sqlite edit to a settings file that turned that on. I see you have a Skyfall signature, so assuming you're already S-OFF and rooted yourself, I'm sure you can also make that change.

[APP][android 6 and 7] Material Notifications - Color for your screens [ROOT][NEXUS]

How would you like to be first to try out this new theming app? How would you like to see a little color instead of stock white notifications?​
I am looking for Nexus device owners to test Material Notifications. I have a Nexus 7 (2013) and I find that it runs perfectly on it, but before sharing it with the wider community, I would like to make sure it runs well on other Nexuses.
If your device is not a Nexus, or if you are using a custom rom, this probably won't work. If it does work, I would be glad to know.
Whatever device you own, make sure you have a nandroid backup before using this app. If you get stuck in a bootloop or if your systemUI force closes, you can easily sort the problem by going into TWRP, mounting your system, opening the file explorer and deleting color.apk from system/vendor/overlay. Or you can use your nandroid.
Please note that I am not responsible if you brick your phone. Only test this app if you know what you are doing.
Thank you in advance for testing. I hope you will think it was worth your while! I'm looking forward to your feedback. Cheers!

Thanks a lot for this! My understanding is that it won't work with CM, but let me know. I think only AOSP based custom roms have a chance. And stock, of course.

It installs, root granted, configured, I chose a color and then reboot OK but color is not taken into account after reboot. Will you need logs? If yes, which moment exactly?
