iPhone statusbar - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to port iPhones statusbar?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

It´s possible to create a similar looking statusbar, but you should care of what you asking for The android community is like "What you bought a S3 and now want a IOS theme? Burn!"

What? You bought an S3 and now you want iPhone status bar?! Burn!

awsome but still dont make it

Hahahah not the theme just a statusbar... that turns into navy blue when going into an app an kinda transparnt and has little rounded corners

i prefer pears though

You'd rather be assimilated by a pear lol. Still, I can only think of the iPhone notifications app that pops messages and other alerts on the screen like an iPhone. Nothing that changes the statusbar comes to mind tho

I was looking for somewhat like that but i just installed centerclock and 75% transparent statusbar its better now

theme app
I have seen some app (maybe go launcher?) that gives you the whole iphone layout. Maybe it was just the lock screen.

Go buy iPhone then
If not what the point you buy s3 or android phone

Point for the OP may have been that the S3 is a much cooler phone and more powerful also. Oh, and the whole screen is bigger thing also. And then there is the whole Android is great and is capable of being customized to the hill. And can even be made to mimic whole or in part IOS. Fact of the matter here is that we all here love different thesis/looks for our devices. And if some of you might not have guessed, IOS has a theme of its own. And, some in here like that theme. Do I no. But that does not matter. All that matters is that the OP gets to what they came for as well as every one else here. So, on that note, Yeah!

Honestly there's features on iPhone that I think are fantastic - that said, I'm still an Android fanatic. I'm not sure though why everyone's giving the OP a hard time.
To answer the question though, it's possible, but highly unlikely since we'd be working with closed-sourced software. There's no way to port the iPhone's status bar without an enormous amount of work. That said, you can still theme the status bar to similar likings. If Rompnit got my post in the Morphology section, you'll find additional signal bar icons that are based off the iPhone's.

For an iPhone style you just have to flash a MIUI ROM and install a iPhone theme.

It would be nice. Or i can find someone who does the job.
Why would you want a different screen than what is on the S2? I dont know of another mobile device that has a better looking screen than our, or one thats really even that is close to a sharp!!!
Idk. Just not Hd like the iphone. Still it is alright...

Put them side by side and you'll see that while the iPhone wins for resolution and clarity, the SGS2 far exceeds it with contrast and colors.
Tottaly agree... I don't see the point in replacing the screen anyway what do you need that high of a resolution for anyway?

Should have waited for the nexus or went with LG's 720p res phone. Also i work with a lot of iphone fanboys and not one yet has said they like their screen over mine
Screen Adjuster app lets you change red green blue plus contrast and brightness. I use it and it works well.
I use LCD Resolution app. Tw launcher isn't compatible but launcher pro and go launcher works great!

Samsung phones are highly proprietary and don't respond well to changes. Even using a non OEM battery can cause problems in some cases. What don't you like about the display? I think its pretty nice.

HTC Infobar

So I just randomly came across this on flipboard, I found the UI to be intriguing!!
Part of me isn't sure if the DNA would be able to run the software very well, at least not without a lot of work, and I have no coding experience. I, however, think it would be awesome to run this on the DNA. If there are any Devs out there that would be able to get ahold of the software and would be able to attempt cooking this for the DNA I would be very happy and excited to run this UI.
Here is a video of the UI:

Yeah, it is definitely Windows-espue on the middle screen, but more advanced (I can see how some might find it slightly cluttered, I like it though). The right screen seems very much like the Android UI, just flipped at 90° (vertical page scrolling vs. horizontal). I would be fine without the left sceen; I guess it would make finding certain things a little easier though.
I just wish/hope some of the awesome devs in the DNA community would be able to get ahold of this and make some magic!

I like it does remind me of windows 8 but 10 times better I would like to see it up close and personal

Posted from my Verizon Employee Edition DROID DNA #01749.
I find the warping animations a bit ugly, and have never been a fan of HTC's UI design in general. I would definitely prefer Windows Phone.
its not exactly HTC its more like a custom rom for a custom device....its KDDI Japan's custom UI (heavily modified sense rom), running on their device

Sense 5 why and why not

This is dedicated to us phone freaks who love Android and flash till we can't flash anymore. Do you like sense 4 or 5 or just aosp? I'm running 5 and love it little to no issues. What have y'all experienced good or not so much. I know our device is up to get the update and can't wait. So in summary yea or nay sense 5

I have been a die-hard AOSP fan for quite a while. But, this sense 5 ROM has been on my phone for quite a while now,...I'm surprised. I kind of don't like the phone UI cuz it just seems awkward to navigate and see what you wanna see. I do like that HTC went back to vertical scroll in the app drawer. I hate when my desktop and drawer scroll the same way,..confuses me lol. I like the distinction.

Tried sense 5 for a few days, then back to viper. I really like blinkfeed and the new widgets, but not enough customization options yet. Not a fan of the 3 button menu or app and folder names on my homescreen. There may be a way to disable them but havent found a way yet.
I actually really love the Sense 5 Rom, but I'm sticking to RootBox until they fix a few small issues (mainly the music duplication issue that annoys me beyond extent)

Only Thing that kills it for me is the camera, i cant stand the fact that if i hold down the camera button too long and it goes to burst mode that t freeze and the fact that the gallery doubles all stored photos. They fix those two things and ill be all over it again

Vzw g2 and Sony smart watch2

I just picked one up today at best buy today to scratch the itch that I've had for a while now. Idk if many like the idea but I'll give my initial impressions.
First off pro and con
* the band it comes with. Reason being is the one I got(which surprised me since I thought it would come with the rubber one) is metal and no one could get the links out. I am the definition of a skinny person. I had to buy the tool which arrives tomorrow.
Pros
* I like the screen size and being touch. (I was debating between the pebble also) looks good enough to satisfy.
* the notifications work better than I thought. The vibration when you get a text fb or any sort of notification is nice since I rarely feel it in my pocket.
*can control the play music app through the watch so I don't have to mess with the phone wile driving
Con's
* Facebook extension if you just choose the ppl you want it to show up doesn't seam to stay logged in.
*still skeptical since I was on the fence about getting one. Maybe a few days with it I'll start to enjoy it.
If you have questions I'll try to answer them for you

Yes this one work with all androids. I like the fact that I don't have to go to my pocket to check to see about a message. I don't always feel it when it vibrates since I don't like the sound. Its really easy to see it sun light just not in the dark with out turning on the back light

Letting y'all know I'll be returning the smart watch just the few days I've had it the watches battery got better but my phones battery dropped from 5 hours of screen on to 1-1/12 hrs. I'm not around a charger that often. I can't have it die on me that quick. I loved it just thought it would help battery life since I wouldn't be turning the screen on that often
