Guess what that's my biggest reason to chose aokp over anything the level of settings it offers is insane thanks a lot to you and shabby and pg and all the dev for this! And thanks for confirming waiting for my s3 to dry up from the skinomi shield installation.

 

[dulal18]

Thanks man! Yeah I put a lot of time into this (since 6am yesterday lol). I'm happy i was able to figure it out and iron out the kinks on my own, without having to bother pg and shabs overmuch. (I'm constantly bothering shabs anyways lol, un Android related tho).

It's telling you how much battery you have left. You can change all that in rom control under settings > lock screen.

Tons of options, that's what makes aokp great.

Just want to report 2 things wifi is not connecting at least for me charging notification light not working unless I had applied the wrong settings

Edit sorry all good it was my fault anyway to change the charging led to red while charging

 

[johnpro112]

Is there anyway to make apps display like it would on a tablet? Like for example rhapsody has a different interface when using a tablet.

The way apps look is dependant on the lcd density being reported to the app. I think only the paranoid android rom allows that.

On the subject of tablet interface, I wouldn't recommend using the force tablet ui option under rom control, makes everything quite unusable until you change it back.

Yes sir thanks the only two other things are the led charging light been trying to change it to red when charging is not giving me the option also and this happen with the other rom to me and someone else when the not using the phone and when I get ready to use it there is a delay or sometimes I have to press the home button twice to wake it up
