[Q] Notification Bar Toggle Buttons

I think this is the best place to post this question, sorry if it's not.
Anyways, with the ROM's for the i897(Captivate) the notification drop down has the toggle buttons for Wi-Fi | Bluetooth | Silent | Vibration
For the I9000 ROM Silent is replaced by GPS.
Anyone know of a way to change which buttons show up?
I'd like to use an i897 ROM, but remove Silent and replace it with GPS.

+1 on that for me, too, its easy enough to go into silent mode with a long press on the power key, or by simply holding the volume down button.... a quick toggle for gps would be great!

+1 as well. Volume rocker on the phone is sufficient in silencing the device, I want a fast GPS on off switch. Perhaps this should be posted in the android development section?

Or a 2g/3g apn switch.

I would also like to add Vibrate to the Power Menu. I don't use Silent, always Vibrate, and I would prefer not having to unlock my phone to change that.

+1. Dont use bluetooth so the bluetooth switch is pointless for me. Would like a Rotation/Orientation switch... or even better (if it can be figured out) a switch to toggle between 2g and 3g

You could try the quick settings app. Long press the search key and you get fast access to all that **** son!

+1 on this however in the meantime...
I use power strip in conjunction with switchpro widget. Power strip is an app you can set to have your home button bring it up even from the lock screen if you have widget locker installed. This way you can access switchpro widget which you can customize to have whatever 7 (less if you'd like) toggles available for quick access without ever even having to unlock your device. I currently have mune set up as follows: Widget locker is installed which allows me to add widgets to my lock screen and have access to my notification bar without having to unlock the screen. Then I have power strip set as my default launcher and ADW is set as the default launcher through the settings in that app so hitting the home button goes to ADW by default (double tap on home brings up power strip) I'm all about pushing as few buttons as possible to access what I need quickly. Once someone figures out how to change the default toggles I probably will keep this set up because of the extreme functionality!

I have a similar arrangement but use QuickDesk rather than power strip. QD is activated by double-tapping home, and offers a 4x5 grid for widgets or icons - I have two switchpro widgets that can toggle nearly everything, and some extra categories for App Organizer that I don't use as often as the ones on the home screen.

QuickDesk is awesome! Thanks for letting me know.
I even got QuickDesk + WidgetLocker + ADW.Launcher to work perfect together.

however quite nice still quick desk might be, it would still be nice to have GPS on default slide down bar...
Any ideas...?

this thread would be better in the Development forum

Alarm Clock

Right now I use better alarm clock pro to do my waking up. The issue is that I don't like the way you have to snooze the alarm. I like the rest of the app very much but I wish that it would have the snooze thing like the DeskHome app. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have the home dock and the way it fits in the dock it doesn't give you access to the volume buttons. Is there an alarm app that lets you use the power button as the snooze button? That would be awesome!! Thanks in advance.

Why is there 137 views with no replies? No one can help me out here? Not even to say that they dont know of any programs or to suggest there own alarm apps?

I just installed it now so i havent tried it yet, but im going to give Alarm Clock Plus (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.vp.alarmClockPlusDock) a try. It is based off the aosp clock app. Thats just a suggestion, i don't know if it has the features you asked for yet.

Check out the app called "good morning" you can snooze and shut off the alarms by tapping the home screen.

[Q]How to get music players controls in lockscreen and notification bar?

I remember, way back in the day, when my phone was stock and I thought it was so cool that my music controls would appear when I hit the power button to unlock the screen. Then I thought it was even cooler that I could control Pandora (I forget if it was through lockscreen or through notification bar) the same way.
Now I'm rocking Continuum 5.5 and was wondering if there is something I can do to enable non-stock music players to be controlled through the lockscreen or notification bar without having to add any widgets to my homescreen or without having to download any extra apps. I even hate having to drag the little CD icon down on the lockscreen when I'm using the stock music player. Basically I'm really lazy and would like to control both Pandora and my new Google Music app through the notification bar and hopefully even the lockscreen and I'm very picky about having widgets and such.
tl;dr: can I control non-stock music apps through lockscreen and/or notification bar without having to download any apps or add any widgets?

I would live that too, my stock music player controls dissapeared when I unlock the screen now

Check out Power Amp in the market. Does what your asking and more
Now if it only was a light sabor too....

I know Symply and Subpression did this for all lock screens. Samsung based lock screens work with Samsung player, other lock screens work with any other player, don't know for sure Pandora, but I thought they did. I ran symply for a while, buts its not as stable as continuum.

Well... the whole point is that I don't want to download any extra apps other than the ones I use, i.e. Pandora and Google Music. Besides, I've used PowerAMP in the past, when it was still free and I thought it sucked. Way too bloated with crap I don't need and a terrible UI.

I've tried all the lockscreens that come with Continuum 5.5 with Pandora, Google Music, and Winamp, and none of them had controls on the lockscreen. I'm also wanting controls in the notification bar again, I miss that too.

I see that in the description for the "Obsession" ROM it says that a few of its lockscreens will work with ANY non-Samsung music player. Can someone running that ROM confirm whether it'll give me lockscreen controls for Pandora and/or Google Music? Thanks.

Did we find a solution to this???

Continuum 5.6 has music controls on lock screen. Not sure about pandora though. I'll check it out in a few

Yep works with pandora

So to answer your question, you can upgrade to continuum 5.6 and that will give you like four different lock screens that will have music controls for non-stock music players and pandora on the lock screen. As far as notification controls, they don't seem to be there.

if you are referring to stock music player and continuum 5.6 then yes. But on 5.6 there is 9 lock screens., and several have music controls that work with any non-stock music player. Goto settings/lockscreen menu/lockscreen

Nope, I'm on Mosaic IV.

How do you get the miui lock screen to work on continuum 5.6 to look like the screen shots? Mine just has the lock slider on the left and the volume slider on the right. No music controls, and doesn't have the buttons like all the miui screen shots have.

Try posting in the rom's Q&A thread

Just added smart notifications to Media Utilities which basically adds notification controls to applications that have not added them yet like Pandora. Will automatically hide notifications if you switch the anther media app.

Vibration issue

Hi everybody, I don't know if it is real but I think to have a problem with vibration settings.
I think go remember that tapping an icon on the launcher (nova, tw or trebuchet) the phone should vibrate. But now it doesn't. Every other vibration work well (physical buttons, lockscreen ect, but on the launcher.
Am I the one who is wrong or it's a bug?

Smart Key and music widget(?) on lockscreen

Unit: C6903
FW: .134
Been having this problem or bug in using the Smart Key app in controlling the Walkman app (playing, pausing, next track, previous track control) sonce 290. Seems not functioning whenever the screen is locked and player isn't showing on the lockscreen. Also when I tried to swipe the lockscreen from the left, you know to add widget on the lockscreen, it seems like it's refuaing. It keeps going back to the default lockscreen. Screenshot for your reference. Hope someone can shed some light on this matter.
