[ROM] ICS SDK Port [WIP]

[Batting1000]

Ive already been looking at removing that search bar... That and many other little tweaks will be some of the first things probably done on theming ICS.

Whatever you do, make a version with the search bar, in case I like your theme.

So I want to try and get the swiping animations in the app drawer going if any dev wants to help out shoot me a PM.

I want them too, but I'm not experienced enough. If you need me to test anything, let me know.

I use the larger font. It looks better in my opinion and fills the display better.

Same issue here, it makes the screen look smaller than it is lol.
I'll post some screen shots, but nothing special really, using the same stuff I was with gingerbread.

The whole scroll bar misalignment issue probably has something to do with the multiple resolutions and screen sizes that ICS handles. Something probably isn't just tweaked correctly at this early stage. After looking at the framework-res and most apps associated with ICS so far they have almost a dozen "png or image" folders now each dedicated to fit a certain format/device depending on if its tablet or phone that its running on. Normally you had ....

drawable (this was xml codes)
drawable-hdpi (most commonly used images/pngs)
drawable-land-hdpi (extra pngs specially thrown in for landscape mode)


Now there is half a dozen or better drawable-xxxxx folders since ICS combines both tablet and phone under one OS.

Basically, it may have to wait until official release or source is dropped before this is ironed out on some of the exact alignment issues.

Actually after looking into the code a bit... If you don't use the included stock launcher then the search bar doesn't appear at the top of the home screen.

I installed ADW EX Launcher and search bar at the top was gone.

The code for the search bar is in two parts.... Part of it to "activate it" is in the Launcher2.apk and the rest of the code is in the framework-res.apk.

So if you don't want that search bar at the moment just flash a 3rd party launcher. Otherwise I will try and post a modded Launcher to flash a little later this evening. Shouldn't be a problem to remove.

Yeah, I was just saying that if you make a themed version, make a version that includes the Google search bar at the top, because I like it and I'll want it if I like your modded launcher.

Hey guys I manage to change my Android version from IceCreamSandwich to 4.0. Also my build number just says IceCreamSandwich IRK40C. LOL

How? lol

 

[NickNanko]

I don't know if this is only my phone but the wallpaper crop seems to be off for all the wallpapers that i download from something like zedge, and even the stock gingerbread wallpapers too. Is there a way to fix this or some place i can get wallpapers that actually FIT. Thanks.

 

[berkmanmd]

modify the build.prop

 

[vhgomez36]

How? lol

Just by editing build.prop in system. You can change the Android version and the Build # to whatever you want.

 

[Batting1000]

Ok, thanks, and what are you guys using to view/edit xml's?

Ok, thanks, and what are you guys using to view/edit xml's?

You have to use APK TOOL or APK Manager to decompile the apks and then Notepad ++ to view the XMLs...

At this point I really wouldn't recommend messing with it as I'm having enough of a hurdle doing these little things because without official source being dropped the tools required to de compile (baksmali and APK TOOL) are not yet updated to support ICS and de compiling has been a real touch and go situation....

On another subject about modding in the build.prop, you can change those lines in the About Phone to say whatever you like... They can say Batting1000's ROM if you like... That is why in the early stages months ago when the first leaked pics of ICS came out people said it was themes and then people just modified the build.prop to say ICS 4.0 or whatever they like... Oldest trick in the book...

The forth and eighth line up to the equal signs starting at the end.

Its fairly easy though and I know I'm going to wipe it once the update comes up.

Thanks! Never really knew about build.prop. Feel stupid now

I never expect everyone to know everything. I learn something everyday from the very helpful forum community.
