I've searched and asked this question several times but found no answer that works.
I love 2 particular ROM components
1 - Flashlight from lockscreen.
Holding the home button from a lockscreen will toggle the flashlight, holding it again will turn it off
2 - Relaxing alarm sounds
This includes the smart alarm and the Dawn Chorus, Sea Breeze, Springtime Memories alarm sounds.
How do I add these to a ROM?
I've found OMEGA Rom includes both of these elements but it isnt the fastest ROM around and when I edit voltage settings it becomes quite unstable.
I really liked the FoxHound series roms which had the flashlight ability and was quite fast and stable
Resurrection Remix is quite nice too but has neither of these features which is why I'd like to know how to do this so I can add it myself.
Can someone give me some info on these?
I'm assuming the smart alarm thing is just saving some .ogg files to use and transfer into the correct place to be able to implement them but the flashlight I'm not quite sure - someone said something about flashing a zip file in CWM but that didnt work for me at all..
Seriously? is there no way to do either of these things??
Surely somebody would know how to do this?

Maybe u should try JKay mod....
It has a lot of extra options like the flashlight u mentioned. And much much more!
About the alarm sounds...
Never search for that but it must be very easy to do

For the first question i have also no idea, i know that miui also has that feature
But the second i quite easy. open any_rom.zip.
Go to system>media>audio>alarms> here you can drop your alarm sounds.
you can also go to /system/media/audio on your phone and put any alarms, ringtones or notifications there.

Hello Fascinate Community,
I'm new to the development scene and I'm trying to learn as much as I can about creating or modifying/altering ROMs. Specifically, I'm interested in modifying the Fascinate TouchWiz stock. Maybe I'm the only person in the world, but I kind of like the TW interface and don't care to replace it with a 3rd party launcher (I did use and like LauncherPro Plus on the Droid 1/2, just enjoying something different).
At any rate, I had some ideas that I thought would be really cool to integrate with the existing TouchWiz interface and I thought that I would share them in the event someone figures out how to incorporate them.
I also thought this might be a good way to consolidate ideas the community at large might have for upcoming ROMs, but lack the know-how to implement:
1) Similar to the control toggles in the notification bar, implement forward/back and play/pause controls for the music player
2) Rescript the default Car Home app to use Google Navigation / Google Voice Search
3) Add music controls to the bottom of the default Car Home app
4) Replace all the Bingification with Google (obviously)
5) have the soft keys stay on while screen is on
hope to see CM6 on here loved it on my eris

6) have soft keys act as notifications..... was nice having the trackball light up with the nexus one
as long as it is built off froyo i will be happy

I know there are people working on this already, I really hope it makes it into the first series of ROMs.
7) Add a setting that allows you to enable/disable the "signal lost/found" audio alert.
8) (No-brainer - not even sure it warrants mentioning) Use a different file system (ext4?) to eliminate need for lag-fix.

That would be excellent! Only thing I am truly missing from my BB is the notification light!
so far i think i might have the best ROM idea of them all, One that doesnt have the memory hog TouchWiz!!! yeah!!! sorry guys have to, cant wait to start seeing stuff flowing out of this section!
Rom Idea:
2.2 Froyo
and the ability to use the touchwiz widgets. I really like them over HTC Sense.
Thats the only reason I wont use launcherPro....Official widgets from the manufacturer look so much better than aftermarket ones!!!

Hi,
I may be being really dense, but I can't find an option to remove/change the toggles in the notification area... I use some (like wifi, bluetooth, brightness), but have no need for ones like power saving, sync etc.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks!

I'm assuming you are on stock rom, if so you cant. Custom roms like Omega have 15 toggle mod you can add or remove whatever you like.

Thanks for the answer
Yes I am currently on stock ROM - I used CM9 nightlies for ages on my S2 but didn't like them as much as the S3 stock. Maybe I'll try Omega (have recently installed the kitchen part of it anyway)
Would you say Megga is better than CM in your opinion?
It's impossible to say if a rom is better or not. I've been using AOKP roms on my galaxy S II but I can now say I like original Samsung roms more on the S III, I even use touchwiz which would've been unthinkable on the S II. I'm on Omega Rom. It's basically stock but with upgrades. Been using other roms for a few hours too because Im a flashaholic but keep Nandroid-ing back to Omega. First time Samsung did a great job on interface IMO
Well that sounds good, I'll give it a go later, thanks
Out of interest, does Omega have the ability to cancel an app by long-press of the back key? That's something I miss from CM9...
Fyi, here's how to change/remove the toggles...

No, it doesn't but as you probably know, long press home and press Task Manager let's you kill tasks.
I liked the idea of long press back key, but was never happy with the execution - I was constantly killing apps that I didn't want to by tapping back too quickly. Clearly CM wasn't checking that you were holding back, but rather that it was pressed at the start and end of a certain time period.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Thanks for the reply... I actually used it a lot with CM9 and found it very useful, but not the end of the world to not have it!
So I know that the devs are hard at work on getting us all kinds of CM, AOSP, and/or AOKP goodness, but I thought maybe if any of the devs are looking for some features to add it might be nice to have a thread they can refer to with everyones "wants" once the "needs" are met.
I'll start it off with a request to add support for BLN (back light notification) to an upcoming kernel. This, combined with the option to put the navigation bar on while dissabling the HW keys would be a great feature IMHO. Not to mention our stock notification LED pretty much sucks a big one.
ROM feature requests
Flashlight in notification drawer quick settings
More options in the shutdown menu (Boot to recovery, etc)
Get rid of the idiotic audio policy of volume reduction when plugging in headphones
Allow dialer rotation
The option to see the standard swipe lock screen before the secure lock.
True music controls on the lock screen
Better control of status bar icons (center clock, hide icons, change colors of icons, etc)
The ability to link the notification volume with the ringer volume
Volume rocker music controls
Universal Qslide
Kernel feature requests
BLN
Enable audio through USB for devices like the Infuse Car Dock (I think this is a kernel issue, if not let me know and I'll put it with the ROM stuff)
I didn't see a similar thread on here, so if there is, kindly point me to it and a mod can delete this one. And if BLN support already exists in Sk8's kernel tell me that too, ha ha.
I haven't looked into the ROMs because I'm liking stock, but a request I do have for when I do decide to flash is to have a flashlight if it hasn't been incorporated into the ROMs out now. There's a lot of times where I need to look for something and don't feel like turning on my light switch. Would be a nice thing to be implemented if it hasn't been done and can be done.

I don't know if this is what you have in mind, but I use TeslaLED: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.flashlight&feature.. It has a widget you can add to the homescreen for a quick on off, as well as some other features. I actually have it as one of my lock screen apps. I wish there was a way to have it turn on when opened from the lockscreen, but it's only one extra tap.
Edit: Gah! John beat me to one.
PS: TeslaLED is only 512K, whereas Tiny Flashlight is anything but at 1.5M

My wishlist:
1. Get rid of the idiotic audio policy of volume reduction when plugging in headphones
2. Allow dialer rotation
3. Enable audio through USB for devices like the Infuse Car Dock.
The two features I really want to see are:
- The option to see the standard swipe lock screen before the secure lock.
- true music controls on the lock screen instead of using the notification controls
sent from my LGOG
My biggest things are center clock, ability to hide things on status bar, and a flashlight toggle. The Base has done pretty well but I would love a flashlight toggle in my quick settings in my notification drawer. The swipe for flashlight thing was so touchy that I disable it.
Also, I love the theme chooser app and ability to have easy themes for my ROMs like in CM10 and AOKP
EDIT: also the ability to boot straight into download and recovery mode like in certain other ROMs using the power button.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
The Base ROM does have a flashlight built in, you can activate it in the notification drawer options.
I was using Tesla until I found this.
Though I do wish it was in the Quick Settings too.
I would also love native reboot options.
And lastly, I would love the ability to link the notification volume with the ringer volume.
I know. The swipe thing only works half the time and half of that half, I end up with The Base force closes

Really, it actually works quite well for me.
Haven't had a base fc yet... you may want to reinstall and try again.

I had actually forgot about this feature. I just tried it again and sometimes it takes three or four swipes to turn on. Might be user error though.
Swipe for torch works perfect for me.
Reboot options would be nice.
Volume Button Music controls would be nicer.
I actually came up with a wish while looking at the android dev section.
It doesn't actually have to do with the rom itself, but I'm hoping that as things become further developed to not only have a Changelog but to have a what's working list/what's not working list or just the latter.
I see a lot of threads gets bogged down with DOES THIS WORK? IS THIS INCLUDED?
Granted there's a group of people out there that don't read and just flash, but it could be helpful for another group of people that compare and contrast roms (like myself) before flashing.
Anyone else agree?

That makes sense to me. :thumbup: I wonder if xda could get a ROM form together so all the devs can include all the same info in their ROM's thread's OP. I don't know how practical that would be, but it would be nice to have some standardization.

That is a pretty cool idea.
But from what I've seen, most ROM posts actually follow a pretty basic design.
We seem to be the odd ones out.
Can anyone point me in the direction on how to remove the brightness slider from 4.1.1 ROMS? Right now I am running Beans 9 if someone would like to make a zip to get rid of it but I would also like to know how to remove it. That way I can remove it on my own and remove it on any of the roms that I flash. Thanks
Bump, as I would also love this option. I use a third party brightness app that disables the built in brightness, and I hate having a useless slider there.
Once I get some free time, I'm going to unpack a rom and take a look at the xml files to see if there's something obvious, but I'm hoping someone might have a quicker answer.
I'm not sure what ROM you are using but I am on Tweaked and it has an option to hit the slider. Its a buttery smooth rom and tons of customization. Almost as much as an AOSP rom.
Hello,
I currently have a Galaxy S4, with a cyanogenmod, and I quite like it, but I have issues with battery life and a broken screen,...
I'm about to buy a Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro, and would like to stay near from the stock ROM (IMUI), but I really need some of the features that cyanogenmod offers.
I read a bit about customizing ROMs, but I don't know how to add features as the ability to skip songs with volume buttons, or to set brigthnes with the notification bar (long touch).
If you could help me finding my answers, by the way I can do some tests on my old Galaxy S4, before applying them to my new phone and possibly harming it...
UP[emoji14]
You are out of luck. As MIUI is closed. Sourced and developers avoid it like the plague you will find no help with doing it. You will have to accept what ever it can do.
Sadness :'( I wasn't really expecting this answer, thank you anyway for helping me
I hope I will find a solution in the future
Do u try with xposed and its modules like: gravitybox, xblast.... which provides most of extra function on custom rom . Or just control music, give a chance with poweramp, let u switch songs by longpress vol key.
