Summary

What are the System Menus patches?

The System Menus patches consist of a handful of individual patches that enhance the top bar and take your device to a whole new level. The System Menus patches have been written so that each is highly configurable. The System Menus patches consist of the following individual patches:

* System Menu Initial Framework

The System Menu Initial Framework patch lays out the groundwork for all the System Menus patches and is required for the other System Menus patches to function.

* System Menu Mode Menu

The System Menu Mode Menu patch extends functionality of the Mode Switcher application. This patch is not required to use Mode Switcher, but is highly recommended. This patch is only available for the Pre/Pre+.

* System Menu Today Menu

The System Menu Today Menu patch extends functionality of your calendar by giving you quick access to your upcoming calendar events.

* System Menu Mods v1

The System Menu Mods v1 patch extends functionality of the device menu, including access to: the system radios (phone, wifi, bluetooth and gps), volume levels (system, ringtone and media), screen brightness, flashlight (using the device LED), network settings, screen lock configuration, voice and data roaming, and data connection.

* System Menu Transparent Full Width App Menu

The System Menu Transparent Full Width App Menu patch modifies an applications app menu to be full width across the top bar when an app is in the foreground. The background of the menu is transparent so you can still see the top bar behind it, however tapping anywhere on the top bar will open the application's app menu and prevents the other top bar menus from being activated. This makes the app menu more accessible when using the phone with one hand.
