Porting Behold II Notification Bar?

Anybody think that its possible to port the Behold II Notification bar? I think that the added settings are pretty awesome and convenient. Think if you walk outside, you can quickly change the brightness, or if you are on the internet then you can quickly turn wifi on. This would take away the need to go back home and use the power control widget all together.
Here is a video review of the Behold2. The notification bar is shown just before 4:45:

and here is a mirror
I would do this myself but I dunno how... I just now figured out I can sign my own apk's lol....

It is possible. But it would take a bit of tweaking in the framework.
I think that it's being implemented in the MyTouch Slide as well.
But thanks for using that video as an example. I now know that I would be very unpleased with the OS and the device itself. I would NOT even take that as a free upgrade. Very disappointed.

I know I need to change something in the framework but I have no idea how to de-odex the files=p.
And what would you expect with that phone? It's feature phone software pushed onto android lol... But the camara and notification bar are the only things I think are worth it (maybe music).

Possible to remove toggles from the notification bar?

I am refering to the "wifi, bluetooth, silent and vibration" toggles you see when you pull down the notification bar.
I think this is specifically for i9000 becoz I dont remember seeing this sort of thing in other android screenshots.
Anyway, is there any way to remove these? Coz i am already using widget and dont need it on the bar.

I would also want to know how. thanks guys

I actually think its a quite handy spot to have those toggles, but would be wicked if one could select which settings to have there.

Yep I agree. Love them but wish I could change them. Why bother with silent? I would rather toggle GPS or 3G

The newer leaked firmwares [froyo builds] have taken out the silent, and added GPS and screen-orientation lock.

Yup! From what I seen with the leaked firmwares, I guess Samsung also find it more useful to add the missing GPS option into it.
Though is just minor improvement, I think is a good improvement.

[TIP] In-App Wifi Toggle

Just wanted to tell you about this realy helpful little app called In-App Wifi Toggle.
I didn't make it og anything, i just think its the easist way to enable/disable wifi.

Surely it's a lot easier to use quick settings, and you don't have to download anything extra?

Nope, just install and restart.
Iv'e had it for 2 weeks now, and it works every time and in all apps.

I don't think you understood what I meant, if you drag down the taskbar, there is a quick settings tab, you can toggle wi-fi from there and you don't have to install anything to do it, it comes as standard.

i don't think he can use your custom ROM yet LP....
he is S-ON phone..(signature)

Doesn't matter, it's a feature of the stock ROM

you mean stock ROM for gingerbread right?
it is on sense 2.1 but not on froyo though..
i dont know, he might not know it (if he has 2.3.3)
or he prefer to toggle it from homescreen.. hehehe..

I have 2.3.3 and think is easier to toggle Wifi from a shortcut then to drag down the curtain - that all.
P.S.: i have just got my phone S-OFF today and is in the progress to get Root. After that im flashing l0st.prophet's ROM ;-)

[REQ] Power Control in Notifications Like CM9

For some reason the latest CM9 ROM that I installed was wildly unstable on my NS4G, but I really enjoy the power controls in the notifications.
Is there any way to port this functionality to the stock ROM? I'm willing to do some leg work if this hasn't been done, but need to know where to start.
I found something similar for the battery icon here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434061
I really do enjoy the stock 4.0.4 but a few tweaks is all I want.

Widgetsoid
You can try Widgetsoid on google play. It allows you to control a lot things in the notification panel.

Try this one.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle
Sent from my Nexus S

Thank you guys for the responses.
I've tried both, and while they both work pretty well the 4G toggle does not work properly. They both bring me to the details of the 4G settings instead of just toggling it on/off.
Would I be on the right path if I simply started digging into both the CM9, and stock ICS ROMs and started comparing differences? Any idea if there is an apk that controls this? Like maybe SystemUI.apk? Definitely not above going in and monkeying with it.

[Q] Rooted, Flashed... Now What? Please Help Me Set Up My Gear on null!

Hopefully I get bonus points for not posting the typical 'Halp! I bricked my Gear!' or 'Halp! I can has no roots!' type threads. :laugh:
I've been searching and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I've got my Gear rooted w/Recovery & null 23 flashed. Generally that's the hard part of rooting but I've never done this on a watch before and now I'm not sure how to set it up. I have a Sony Smartwatch 2 also and really like most of the functionality of that watch but wanted something that didn't look quite so... dated. I got a Gear and the functionality was a joke in comparison so I opted to root/flash it to get it to do what I want it to do. Now that I've done that I'm not really sure where to go but I'd like it to function similar to my SW2 with a little bit more customization. For instance, when I flashed null 23 there were a LOT of options I wasn't sure if I wanted and needed. I did some searching but all I could find was mostly people having difficulty doing the processes I've already done. Nothing on post-root/flash setup.
Which launcher do I want? I have Nova & Apex and I'm not really sure which one is better and why.
Notifications? How do I set these up? On my SW2 I really like how it handled notifications for apps like Gmail, Hangouts, SMS, etc. and I'd like to replicate this on this watch too. When I go into my Gear Manager on my phone all of the apps under notifications are grayed out. I'm assuming this app no longer controls my watch or perhaps it does when the stock launcher is activated?
Is there a description somewhere that explains each of the options when you flash the ROM? I have a feeling that I installed a LOT of things I don't need but since it was my first time and I hand't yet messed with it I erred on the side of more than less so I could maybe see what it all was.
I would like a home/watch screen with a custom watch of some sort, the current weather conditions, & a few shortcuts maybe. I miss how I could double tap the power button and set that to launch an app. I used this for the Media Controller app which allowed me quick access to controlling the audio on my phone which is one of the big features I need.
I guess in all I'm just confused by what all I want/need since it's basically a Motorola Droid on my wrist w/o a cellular or WiFi radio or GPS and rather than a full featured device I just need a better smartwatch. If someone can point me in the right direction via some links or something or if a few people want to hold my hand through a few more specific questions I have while I get this figured out I would appreciate it.
Thanks for reading.

Up to the user. I like apex these days (phone and watch), used to use nova

That doesn't sound right. What phone/rom are you using?

Trial and error. I haven't installed it ina long time, but I'm pretty sure it was self explanatory

Using custom launcher allows you to add any widgets you like to a home screen. Power button [annoyingly] isn't really a power button; there is details how to change this in null faq. People like gesture or pie control type apps for launcher programs

No, they aren't. I watched a video on how to install and all of the options he had while installing were self explanitory. My install of null 23 had lots of screens of options and I only understood what about half of them did. I would like a page somewhere that explains what they all do so I can make up my mind prior to installing and know what I want & don't want.

I understand adding any widgets I want but I see other people's screens and their screen looks much different than anything I've seen on an Android device so I'm not sure how to go about that.

1. Can't remember. They are similar
2. Hmmm... 4.3+ rom? Latest gear manager?
3. The few I can remember; choice of launcher, gapps (google based apps - people, calendar, play services, etc), power button mod (power button turns screen on/off), stock Samsung apps
4. No matter how it looks, it's exactly the same as phone if not using touchwiz launcher. Touchwiz launcher is not really customisable. I use the stock weather clock widget on home screen, shortcuts on second screen (app drawer, media controller, notifications, camera, tasgear), zooper widget with notification counts on third screen

I'd like to know the differences because I can choose which one of the two to install during ROM flash and I'd rather not flash the one that I'm not going to use.
Yes, 4.3 and the latest version of Gear Manager. However I just noticed something quite odd... the 'Other Notifications' on/off slider was set to off this time. I know for a fact that it wasn't last time because I checked that when I checked on 'Additional notifications' and they were gray. I went back and for a few times checking and it was set to 'on' and green. After a reboot they were grayed out again but this time I noticed that little slider on the previous screen was set to off. Slid it on and now all of my additional notifications are active and I can check and uncheck them. So I've got Gmail, Hangouts & one other one checked. I should be getting notifications on the watch now?
I know what Gapps is and I found what the power button mod thingy does in another thread. Seems if you want the power button to function on the 3rd party launchers the way it does on the stock launcher you need that installed. I did see where this can create issues at times with other functionality so I will keep an eye on that to see if it's going to create any issues for me. Still not 100% clear on that but I think I chose the right option. I also installed the stock apps because there's a media player controller and a couple of others that I really like as they are.
I guess I just keep seeing people with screens that look entirely different than mine. Mine the clock is kind of cut off on the top and the bottom and I know the top is cut off because I selected to install the status bar at the top (which I would likely not do next time I flash the ROM.. kinda pointless) but I can't understand why the bottom part is cut off. I disabled the little dots that show which home page you're on and it still gets cut off by the dock. Not really sure what I'm doing wrong.
So how will this work for notifications and phone controls? Like I know with my SW2 I could enable/disable WiFi, BT as well as a few other options and even mute, silence and normal my ring tone. Can I do this somehow from this watch with these launchers? What about notifications? I've enabled those as I stated earlier while I was typing this and still haven't got a single notification on the watch. Do I have to install the full Gmail & Hangouts APK to get the notifications and if this is the case I'm not sure it's going to behave the way I'm looking for. I really just want basic popups with the sender and the message the way my SW2 does and I'm not sure that a miniature Android device is going to be able to do this. Edit: while I was typing this I just got a notification for Hangouts & it was a full screen pop-up with the sender and the message for a few seconds so maybe this will do what I need it to do. Nothing for Gmail yet though.
Also, since I know I want the status bar across the top gone I will likely boot into recovery & flash the ROM again with that feature disabled. When I do that I will take the time to list each option that I see as well as if I know what it is or not and maybe someone can answer the questions I have about it and then I can go through with the flash with the options I want and don't want correctly set.

You'll really have to have a play yourself. I'd suggest downloading both to your phone and checking them out on an easier to use (ie bigger) screen
Yeah, sometimes it can turn off like that. I'd suggest clearing gear manager data/cache, uninstalling gm, reboot, install gm. If it's ticked, you should get notifications (when screen is off)
Correct. It's either one or the other
You'll need to play with settings to get that correct. Widget padding I believe
I think you may need to reset watch as well as reinstall gearmanager just to get rid of the gremlins it sounds like you have. The watch hardly controls anything on the phone (only what you see in gm). For bidirectional stuff, give tasker a try and check apps in themes and apps section
Yep, just reflash if you want to change any settings
