it doesnt come on the cellphones either, not the galaxy nexus or nexus s with jelly bean. not with gingerbread or ice cream sandwich neither, not on any pure android experience devices. only with devices that include manufacturer skins like sense, motoblur, or touchwiz.

Many thanks for your clarifications. My experience on Android is Samsung Galaxy S2. It has very compatible features with iPhone (my previous phone before S2). I am still a new comer of Android although I have been using S2 for a year.

ah yes, so youre familiar with touchwiz. anyways, theres always an app for those functions in the market, probably a few free choices too.

I came from a Galaxy S and I definitely felt the need to have those features so here's the apps I use and they work perfectly.
For World Clock

For Stop Watch

I thought the same thing until just now. There is a stopwatch functionality in the default clock app that comes with the N7. If you swipe right in the app, it takes you to stopwatch and countdown functions.
As far as world clock though, you're right.

I tried this and don't get a stopwatch option. The default 'Clock' app just puts the time and date on the screen and has an option to set alarms. Swiping just changes the screen brightness. Perhaps that is a function of your custom rom?

If you want a world clock including the weather for the given city, then you could try this:
World Weather Clock Widget in Google Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.satok.gweather&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9yZy5zYXRvay5nd2VhdGhlciJd
I just add a 1x1 widget for every city I need the weather/time information for.

You're probably right. It may be a feature of Cyanogenmod which is what Paranoid Android is based on. Sorry about that!
On a side note, I would heartily recommend Paranoid Android, if only for the stopwatch functionality.

pure ICS on galaxy s3?

mod edit: i don't like the touch wiz UI
Lol at least give it a chance before making such a claim. Use it when it comes out then we can say if it is shyte... There are other launchers like apex and etc..
ok good point, i like the concepts though like if you are messaging then put to your ear and it calls, but im talking about the pure visual aspect of it, the icons look like they come from a 2001 nokia colour phone
Icons are always customisable though with root access. I always wonder why people complain about a UI or skin when it can always be changed or removed.
Ive never used any of the previous versions of touchwiz for more than a few minutes at a time on friends' phones but have always preferred it over the other mfr UIs ive tried. Its actually one of the things im looking forward to with this.

pure aosp will take atleast a month or 2, team hacksung have not yet received enough donations for getting the mobile yet.
and guys the term "touchwiz" not only mentions the launcher but mentions the whole load of softwares customized by samsung like, fm radio, music player,camera app etc etc.

Not the entire UI.. little clips here and there but the fact is NONE of us have it and NONE of us have actually used the new Touchwiz UI. Its not just an icon pack

i don't want AOSP on it. It's damn boring. NO more vanilla for me. And the Nexus program is an epic fail, NOT the first to get updates.
I always use Go Launcher but will run with TW on the S3 to see how I like
What's wrong with TouchWiz, I would rank it second after TimeScape of Sony (dont like HTC Sense)
And I would give TouchWiz 4.0 the crown
vanilla rocks!
i got a warning for swearing, sorry for swearing
Pure ICS is definitely coming to the S3. Some developers have already said it.

Uh, yes, the Nexus lines ARE the first to get updates... Well, the GSM variants anyway. Don't whine about having a Nexus and not getting updates fast when you're on a stupid CDMA network with their closed source radio driver crap.
Look aosp is cool, but i am that type of human that i will hardly live with only one type of ui for more than two months, first there are themes and than its big jump (like tw->cm9 or cm9->MIUI....)....so i expect i will try to stick with stock as long as possible and than go out and try some modifications

Im going to change just one thing , I square icons at the bottom to stock ics, and that's it. Love the drop down toggles. And some of the touchwize apps I'll just not use.

I couldn't agree more to this!!!
No more carrier delays for me... and I really look forward to PURE AOSP! The closest I ever got to that was with CM 7 resp. CM 9 on my S2 and Nook tablets... and I liked it a lot!
Certainly better than st*pid HTC Sense..!
Can't wait for next week to arrive!!!!!!
why would you use a feature`less software like stock ics? i had galaxy nexus and it was boring ... tw may have bloat but it has nice features ... if you want stock buy google phone if you want sense buy htc ... simple...
plus if you look in the app drawer is ics stock like
It's a matter of preference. look at the stock ICS E-mail, Contacts and messaging apps. a combination of a Beautiful, modern design with the maximum possible functionality. It just looks, feels and works so well, exactly how a modern UI should. Google really hit the ball out of the park with holo.
Now look at the TW ones - they're basically the same FroYo ones used in the previous galaxies - they don't have that stremlined, modern look of stock ICS. They look dated and ancient and do not feel like ICS at all. The messaging app especially. Black background with grey borders and ugly buttons - and yellow and cyan chat bubbles.. seriously samsung?
having said that, TW does have a very, very good launcher - very smooth and very flexible - i have no issues with that. The TW UX launcher is even better in that regard. it's the core apps that piss me off because they look ugly and dated.

CRACKFLASHER's Jelly Bean Open Discussion

Hi !
The other thread is only for devs. So, i've decided to make this one, only for problems, help and other things like root ...
Enjoy.
I really liked the I/O presentation for Jelly Bean. I really am looking forward to voice recognition, or better notif drawer. But on the other hand, I'm currently using CM9 nightly, and I'm wondering if I wanna switch to 4.1 because of less settings option. What I would miss most is the quick access to power bar in notif drawer. You think there will ever be something like that in 4.1? I don't believe so.

[Discussion] Wishlist for upcoming CM10 / AOSP Rom(s)

CM10 / AOSP Rom Wishlist​
We all know CM just recently announce CM10 will be coming just around the corner, so what will we be expecting?
All the Android 4.1 JellyBean goodies of course!
Still, there's a couple more things couldn't be added to enhance the stock android experience.
NOTE
Would like to clarify something before you start posting, CM10 will run as pure android 4.1 user experience with other enhancement make the phone more customizable. As it runs on AOSP framework, there will be strictly no TOUCHwiZ, NO SENSe, NO OTHER NONSENSE related request in this thread, just pure android.
As none dev, you should only bug report, request CM10/Trebuche launcher related features, anything beyond that you'll be on your own! (Either develop a ROM base of CM10 source with the features you've wanted YOURSELF, or FIND OTHER ROMS that suites your taste, no reason to rage and flame in this thread)
Special Note:
To new Android users particularly coming from iOS: It's understandable coming from iOS to Android is a huge change between two different OS, it's also understandable that you're not used to DIY stuff like rooting your own phone, reading simple instruction and the known issue;mainly because you're too used to getting spoon fed back in iOS.This leads to asking dumb question, flaming in the particular thread, harassing at developers who practically offer their ROM for free! Long story short, LEARN TO READ! Make use of the search tool bar, trust me when I say it's useful. I was the same when back then, tho I had a lil' experience coming from symbian s60v3 &v5 development, DailyMobile forum.
Hope CM10 project related personals read this. Let's thanks them in advance for their hardwork!
I'll go first,
I've read a couple post in XDA and was hinted that Chrome for Android will not be the default browser for Android 4.1 JellyBean as Chrome for Android will only be available as default browser for Nexus 7, not part of Android 4.1 update (kind of misleading there).
So here's my request:
-Make Chrome for Android as CM10 default browser.
Tablet UI!!!
Just like paranoid AOSP rom, or was it AOKP.
Tablet ui kind of homescreen will definitely look amazing on SGSIII 4.7inch HD screen!
Trebuchet: swipe down to open notifications. Helps for big screens.

Trebuchet: add the possibility to select random transition effect

As Google mentionned, it'll be part of Google Apps. If not, then it won't be the default browser as we can't pack proprietary apps in the ROM.

Obviously Trebuchet will be rebased on Jelly Bean's launcher code.
What I would like to see is:
- ability to set ascending incoming call ringtone volume
- ability to set peak and off peak hours for Exchange mail
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Ability to check notifications when in a full-screen app, a nicer camera app (perhaps a UI overhaul to make the viewfinder bigger).
Smaller dial pad to allow more than 1 contact prediction. The dial pad takes 80% real estate but used 20% of the time.
If I can get maybe 5 predictions I'll have the correct prediction in far fewer touches.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
One thing that annoys me:
I've got some contacts with more than one Phone Number, and when using T9 in the Dialer, I'm nearly always calling the wrong number of these contacts. I would love to see an option to either choose every time which number to call, or an option to always automatically call the most frequent number.
I know I could also store two contacts for these to numbers, but that's so 1990-like
A new camera app with transparent interface. The AOSP camera is horrible and it's the number 1 reason people don't use AOSP. Most people just flash CM, like it, then fire up the camera, and return to stock ROM.
Please don't say we can't change AOSP apps, if Apollo music player can replace the AOSP one, certainly a better camera app can be integrated to CM.

Apollo: in my opinion would be great to have the possibility to sort by album but not basing on single folder but on mp3 info.
For example if I have an album with more CD and I have a folder for each CD, apollo lists different album with the same name and in my opinion is ugly, basing on mp3 info I would get a single album with all the song.
Or better to have the possibility to select between these possibility.
I see this feature in only few player such as poweramp.
Pinch to zoom for web browsing just like in CM7 please!
Ability to hide the on-screen navigation buttons and utilise the hardware/capacitive buttons instead. Maximise screen space.
On-screen buttons suck!
Trebuchet:
- scrollable dock
- hide apps in app drawer

[Q] looking for a good iPhone theme

anybody seen a really good iPhone theme? one that actually has the signal/wifi/clock etc in the right places.
the few that i found are only just replacement icons
i will set up a new sd build so i can reboot into iPhone mode...

I don't know anything about theming but I don't think it's possible to change the positions of those icons. The best you'll do is a MIUI ROM with an iOS theme.
OK, will keep looking. I had a CM rom sometime where I could move the clock to the middle so was hoping that it was all doable.

Start with "Espier" launcher and take it from there. If you like iphone then you might want to find "Smart Keyboard Pro" which will let you use same keyboard as iPhone.

[Q] AOSP Rom with Samsung features?

Is it possible to have an AOSP rom (like CM), but with Smart Stay, IR, Air View, Air Gesture, Driving Mode, S Translate, and the DLNA/media player features? Or at the very least IR, Air View and the media stuff? (I have a Samsung TV)
Most likely no....here's like a .01% chance any of that stuff is gonna work on aosp

All those programs likely require TouchWiz framework
Well, then, what about a ROM with all TW features, but AOSP apps, menus, statusbar and lockscreen? And maybe even Settings app?

I'm coming from an iPhone and don't know much about Android, so I'm wondering if it's easy to just have basic homescreens with a grid of app icons like the iPhone. Looking at Android, I always see a homescreen with a giant clock and weather info. I don't want all that stuff taking up space when the time is already shown in the statusbar, and I usually only need to the check the weather once or twice a day.

That the main aspect of android. Being able to custimize everything. There are a few launchers that look like the iPhone but other then that you will be hard pressed as android devs tend to avoid the iPhone look. There are a few china based things that mimic the iPhone. What you see if just what people have on it. Like I use a small clock and small weather as I remove the clock in the status bar.

This post is misleading. ALL launchers have the ability to look like an iPhone. Just delete all widgets and put only app shortcuts on homescreen. No idea why somebody would want to do that, but a simple task if you do.

Those huge clocks and such are Widgets which, more than anything, are what set Android apart iOS. But, since Android is about choice, yes, you can set up your screen with a grid of app icons just like an iPhone.

Look, I know you're coming from the digital prison that is iOS, but you're free now. If you don't want the widgets, delete the widgets. If you want shortcuts for your favorite apps on your homescreens, put shortcuts for your favorite apps on your homescreens. Remember, all your apps are right in your app drawer whenever you need them...

You won't get the exact app to work on aosp but you can have third party software to work in the similar way. Example would be the spen from Galaxy Note series.
As long as the various drivers are available and working in aosp, you can make use of the functions with the help of 3rd party apps. I'm sure many developers are already working on this right now ask we speak because this is a highly popular device.
