Nice man :beer: ive never used a nav-bar but can they be modded to be transparent mate? (Not hidden but only the symbols are visible on homescreens) :thumbup:

Here's how I achieve the look here:
Nova Launcher set to one home screen
Dock removed via Nova
Persistent Search Bar removed via Nova
Swipe down for Notification Pane
Double tap for Quick Toggles
Swipe up for App/Widget Drawer
Added Search Button via ROM Control in AOKP ROM

Short press of search button does (contextual, when applicable) search

Long press of search button activates voice search

Navbar shorcuts from left to right, each with a short press and long press action as follows:

Phone/AOSP browser; direct dial Wife/Feedly; Google Now/Alarms; direct message Wife/Tapatalk; Messaging/Chrome

I've since modded the navbar buttons to have a reflection. And, of course, changed the wallpaper. :D
 
I wish I could get the whole(or even just most) image on there. Little snippets of road or sky don't do the photo the full justice.
 
Just read in apps forum that Google Keyboard has been realeased on Play. Havent tested it yet.. im a strange typer so i doubt if ill like it but i think its a great step for Google to do something like that. Whats you peeps think? Anyone tryed it yet? :beer:
 
Saw that on android police earlier this evening. I almost always use the aosp keyboard...


But it should already be an option on touchwiz roms right?

Settings > language and input

(Or however you get to keyboard setting on touchwiz. I'm on my gnex right now)
 
Been using it since 4.2 came out (Nexus user as you well know) and I love it. I've never used a third party keyboard and it's the best stock Android keyboard to date. I just typed this whole post using it with Gesture Typing (swiping).
 
Thanx peeps. Ive used the same 3rd party keyboard app for years now.
So does it have a uploadfromtaptalk1370491658871.jpg
this way of typing? Lol.
Other than how the keyboard performs, do yous think its cool how google are offering things like this as playstore apps to bypass the big lag of people waiting for carrier-skinned OS updates? :beer:

P.s, the only time ive used the stock keyboard is when first using the phone after a wipe.. is that the google keyboard?
 
Yeah, there must be a keyboard built either deep in the phone or included in gapps coz theres a keyboard there after youve wiped, flashed a non TW rom over another non TW rom, rebooted and had to enter your details.

Going off on a tangent here lol but is there a way i could make my keyboard apk become a flashable .zip so i could flash it when i flash a new rom and it would become my default keyboard even before restoring from titanium?
 
Yeah even that would be cool. Is it easy enough to do mate?
EDIT sorry bro, by default i meant, could i flash it and then use my kiddy-keypad with all its settings intact to enter my google addy etc when i reboot the phone instead of the QWERTY one? :beer:

Disappointed? Neil Young have an off night? I hate when I'm let down with a concert.

Hmmm. I've been to numerous concerts, and hate to say this was one of the worst so far.
It was one solid ball of sound, too heavy distorded guitars and fat drum overcompensated his weak voice. Three guitarists hanging out like they would in a studio, freestyling. There was no connection with the 15,000 people.

Haven't tried the feature I'm referencing, so I don't know if that would work.


Alternatively, just don't wipe data when you flash a ROM (I do this regularly). If you run into force closes, do a full wipe
 
Even when going between completely different roms mate? I dont bother wiping if im just moving up to another version of the same rom but (maybe just out of habit ive always done a wipe between moving to like a different dev. I really hate having to restore apps though and thats what makes me lazy about exploring more roms :)

Yup. Like I said, have a Nandroid ready just in case, but it'll usually work. If you run into any bugs do a full wipe before reporting them to the devs.

You may have issues going from TW to AOSP or the other way around, but it's worth a shot.

You could also do a full wipe, flash the rom, and then restore data from a Nandroid. It's all essentially the same thing

That sucks. Sorry to hear that.
I've always thought Neil Young was best with just him and an acoustic guitar or minimal band. I hate when he goes the over produced route. He seems like the type of artist you never know what you are going to get from him live.
 
Thanks mate. Yeah i probably have learnt on here in the past months to be confident that realisticly... its hard to make a mistake that cant be erased by just flashing back to your nandroid. Think ill experiment a bit more. I strongly doubt ill ever go back to a tw based rom but i have a nice nandroid saved on the pc of Neat Rom set up nicely so if i give the phone to Mrs Logik, itl be nice n mainstream for her :)
